My Grandad would have been 100 years old today. He would not have been impressed! He lived to the age of 94 which is a fantastic age in anyone's book, and he was fiercely independent to the end...probably too independent at times.
So, other than the birth of my Grandad, what else happened in 1911?
International Women's Day was celebrated for the first time.
The presence of the German warship 'Panther' in the Moroccan port of Agadir triggered the Agadir Crisis.
The Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre.
Italy declared war on the Ottoman Empire.
Roald Amundsen's expedition reached the South Pole.
The first Monte Carlo races were held.
What historical events happened in the year of your birth?
