1972 - Strategic Arms Limitations Talks - SALT I Treaty signed which places a limit on the number of nuclear missiles each side can deploy. SALT I froze the number of strategic ballistic missile launchers at existing levels, and provided for the addition of new submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) launchers only after the same number of older intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) and SLBM launchers had been dismantled. Negotiations lasted from November 1969 until May 1972. A continuation of SALT I can be seen with the 1979 signing of SALT II.

[sj1990]

1917: WW1 - US entry into the war for two main reasons:
1. Germany had suggested an alliance with Mexico, sending the Zimmerman Telegraph on 1st March 1917 which outraged the US.
2. Germany declared to resume unrestricted submarine warfare.
US reaction was powerful and immediate. The perceptions of Germans as lawless and savage merely added to their moral indignation.

Russian Rev'n: Russia withdrew from WW1. The first attempts to overthrow the provisional government occured during March/April. The successful overthrowing and establishment of Russia as a Bolshevik state occured during the October/November Rev'n. This was virtually a bloodless coup-de-tat.
