There is a list of many at the site below. Oh, and my wife was born. LOL

January 17 - The Great Brinks Robbery - 11 thieves steal more than $2 million from an armored car in Boston, Massachusetts. This is one of my favorites.

. January 31 - President Harry S. Truman orders the development of the hydrogen bomb in response to the detonation of the Soviet Union's first atomic bomb in 1949. The nuclear age is in full swing.

June 25 - Beginning of Korean War: One of the most significant events I would think.

September 4 - Darlington Raceway is the site of the inaugural Southern 500, the first 500-mile NASCAR race. Significant in NASCAR history.

September 4 - Beetle Bailey comic strip started. I read this comic with joy nearly every day since then.

November 25 - Phenomenal winter storm ravages the Northeastern United States, brings 30 to 50 inches of snow, temperatures below zero, and kills 323 people. Can't blame global warming for that.

Also in that year, President Harry Truman sent United States military advisers to Vietnam to aid French forces. The significance would not be apparent until the mid-60s.

Korean War begins when North Korean Communist forces invade South Korea.
