Blast From The Past: Indian Independence Bill

 

On July 4, 1947, the Indian Independence Bill was officially introduced in the British House of Commons by Prime Minister Clement Attlee.

 It proposed ending British rule and dividing the subcontinent into two sovereign dominions, India and Pakistan, effective August 15, 1947.

The bill was a culmination of decades of the Indian independence movement and quickly passed through the British Parliament, receiving Royal Assent just two weeks later on July 18, 1947. It allowed the two nations to draft their own constitutions and gave princely states the choice to join either India or Pakistan

Blast From The Past: Alice In Wonderland

 

Lewis Carroll (the pen name of English author and mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) published Alice's Adventures in Wonderland on July 4, 1865.

The book was famously inspired by a young girl named Alice Liddell, the daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, where Carroll worked as a lecturer. After telling the fantastical stories to Alice and her sisters during a boat trip, Carroll was encouraged to write them down, resulting in a worldwide cultural phenomenon that has never been out of print

Blast From The Past: Quebec
