Events on January 24th throughout history Caligula's murder, slave revo...

In the heart of Rome, the year 41 AD witnessed a jaw-dropping twist! Caligula, the not-so-nice emperor, was mysteriously murdered and Claudius took the throne! 

In 1835, across the seas in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, something incredible happened. Slaves staged a brave revolt, marking a pivotal moment instrumental in ending slavery in that region 50 years later.

As we zoom into 1848, the air around Sutter's Mill near Sacramento was buzzing with excitement. James Wilson Marshall struck gold, setting off the famous California Gold Rush and drawing people from all over in search of treasure.

Now, let's jump to a more adventurous tale. In 1908, the first Boy Scout troop was formed in England by the visionary Robert Baden-Powell. 

World War II brings us to 1942 when the Allies decided to make a bold move. They bombarded Bangkok, leading Thailand, then under Japanese control, to declare war against the United States and the United Kingdom.

In the midst of World War II, in 1943, two of the greatest leaders, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, held a crucial conference in Casablanca, making decisions that shaped the course of history.

In the space-age year of 1978, a Soviet satellite named Kosmos 954 met a fiery end, scattering radioactive debris over Canada's Northwest Territories. It was a space adventure with a twist, and only 1% of the satellite was recovered!

Our journey ends in 1984, a year that revolutionized technology. Apple Computer made history by placing the Macintosh personal computer on sale in the United States, changing the way we interact with technology.
