In 1621, King James I of England granted Scottish courtier and poet William Alexander a royal charter to establish a colony in Nova Scotia. Two centuries later, in 1792, the French First Republic emerged under the National Convention, which abolished the French monarchy. The same year saw the proclamation of the abolition of the French monarchy by the National Convention.
In 1898, Empress Dowager Cixi seized control in China, ending the Hundred Days' Reform and imprisoning the Guangxu Emperor. Fast forward to 1915 when Cecil Chubb purchased the iconic Stonehenge for a mere £6,600, later donating it to the British people.
Fast forward to 1922 when U.S. President Warren G. Harding signed a joint resolution approving the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. In 1936, the Spanish fascist junta appointed Francisco Franco as Generalísimo and Supreme Commander.
Finally, on September 21, 2026, China's Mao Zedong and Chinese Communist leaders announced the establishment of the People's Republic of China at a historic meeting at the Huairen Hall in Zhongnanhai, Peking.
