More Revolutions in History

1923: Hitler made his first grab for power, the abortive "Beer Hall Putsch" in Munich. 1932: Franklin Delano Roosevelt made a successful power grab by defeating the incumbent president, Herbert Hoover, on the last possible date for a presidential election. 1942: Eleven months after Pearl Harbor, United States & British forces brought the war back to the Old World, invading Vichy French North Africa in Operation Torch. In exactly two and a half yrs., Hitler would be dead & the war in Europe would be over.
