On this day - April 13th 1919 - Over 300 Indians were killed in the Jallianwala Bagh massacre

Jallianwala Bagh massacre, also known as the Amritsar massacre, was a massacre of over 300 peaceful protesters in Punjab, India. The people was gathered in an large open area to celebrate the Baisakhi festival. The protesters were fired on for 10 minutts by the British army, and the main fire was directed at the protesters who were trying to escape. At least 379 people died and 1100 people were inured in the incident, but the number might have been much higher. The incident led to the Non-cooperation Movement of 1920–22 in India.

Disneyland Paris is a theme park 32 km outside of Paris in France. The plans for a European theme parked emerged in 1972. Construction started in 1988 and it took four years to finish the park. It was the fourth Disney park to be built after California, Florida and Tokyo. When the park opened in 1992 was the name "Euro Disney Resort", but Disneyland soon discovered that "Euro" didn't sound as exciting for Europeans as for Americans, and the name was changed. As many people as 90 thousand was expected to visit the par on the first day of its opening. Only 25 thousand actually did and the park struggled financially in the beginning. It was able to adjust to the European market in the next few years after its opening and the park is one of Europe's most visited theme park today.
