LEAD-IN :
2016 marks the 75th anniversary since the attack on Pearl Harbor, 25 years since the hostages Terry Waite and John McCarthy were released from captivity and 20 years since 'Dolly the Sheep' was cloned.
It's also 70 years since the Cannes Film Festival opened for the first time, and fifty years since England won the World Cup against Germany.
STORY-LINE:
On January 20, 1981, Iran released 52 Americans held hostage for 444 days, minutes after the presidency had passed from Jimmy Carter to Ronald Reagan.
The 52 Americans were taken hostage at the U.S. embassy in Iran in the fall of 1979. President Jimmy Carter's public standing tanked amid the crisis, and the hostages weren't freed until after Carter lost his 1980 re-election bid to Ronald Reagan.
A decade later a new enemy had emerged for the United States, Iraq, which had invaded neighbouring Kuwait.
On Jan. 17, 1991, a five-month buildup called Desert Shield became Operation Desert Storm as allied aircraft attacked Iraqi bases and Baghdad government facilities.
The six-week aerial campaign climaxed with a massive ground offensive on Feb. 24-28, routing the Iraqis from Kuwait in 100 hours before U.S. officials called a halt, leaving Saddam Hussein in power in Baghdad.
The Sept. 11 2001 terror attack on the U.S. focused attention on Saddam Hussein as a sponsor of terrorism. His refusal to meet U.N. demands for full disclosure of his illegal weapons program provided a justification for war.
An American-led force invaded on March 20, 2003. Within three weeks, Iraq's army had collapsed. Saddam was captured the following December.
A century ago, "all changed, changed utterly" in Ireland, in the words of the poet W. B. Yeats.
On April 24 1916, some 1,600 Irish nationalists launched the Easter Rising by seizing several key sites in Dublin.
Thousands were killed and injured in the revolt. The 15 rebel leaders whom the British army executed in the weeks following what, by any measure, had been a military disaster for the rebels.
They had seized several buildings and a central park, then waited for superior numbers of British troops many of them Irishmen to surround, shoot and shell them into submission.
But the 15 men's deaths by firing squad inside Dublin's Kilmainham Jail inflamed public opinion against the British and in favor of a successful 1919-21 war of independence for the predominantly Catholic south of Ireland.
Irish poet W.B. Yeats summed up the impact of the British executions in his "Easter 1916" poem, naming Pearse and three other prominent commanders who died, warning: "A terrible beauty is born."
On July 5 1996 an unusual birth took place. A lamb named Dolly was born at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, Scotland.
The achievement of her creation - announced Feb. 23, 1997 - sparked an international sensation.
Dolly was named after Country singer Dolly Parton, because she was derived from mammary cells.
Researchers had previously cloned sheep from foetal and embryonic cells, but until Dolly, it was unknown whether an adult cell could reprogram itself to develop into a new being.
Dolly, a Finn Dorset sheep, bred normally on two occasions with a Welsh mountain ram called David, first giving birth to Bonnie in April 1998 and then to three more lambs in 1999.
The births were good news, showing that clones can reproduce.
But in 1999, scientists noticed that the cells in Dolly's body - cloned from the breast cell of a 6-year-old adult ewe - had started to show signs of wear more typical of an older animal.
Then in January 2002, her creators announced she had developed arthritis at the relatively early age of 5 1/2 years, stirring debate over whether cloning procedures might be flawed.
Some geneticists said the finding showed that researchers could not manufacture copies of animals without the original genetic blueprint eventually wearing out.
Many attempts to clone animals have ended in failure.
However there have also been successes. There are now hundreds of animal clones around the world, including cows, pigs, mice and goats, many of them appearing robust and healthy.
Dolly was put to sleep on Feb. 14 2003 after developing a lung disease.
Soon after assuming full power in 1991, Slobodan Milosevic triggered a bloody break-up of the former Yugoslavia.
On June 25 1991, the western Yugoslav republics of Croatia and Slovenia declared their independence.
Slovenia a country of 2 million people, squeezed in between Austria and Croatia, became in 1991 the first Yugoslav republic to declare independence on June 25 1991, starting a 10-day war.
After negotiations, the Yugoslav army withdrew three months later.
Croatia declared independence from the former Yugoslavia in June 1991, sparking a four-year war with rebel Serbs who were supported by the Serb-led Yugoslav army.
About a third of the country's territory was occupied by the Serbs, and many areas were reduced to rubble before a U.N. peacekeeping force moved in.
The war ended in 1995, when Croatia retook territories in an offensive.
The Serb bombardment of Dubrovnik lasted until early December 1991, about 1,000 artillery shells fell on the ancient town from the hills of Montenegro and from naval ships in the Adriatic.
Dubrovnik had just 670 defenders facing as many as 35,000 army troops.
At least 43 civilians were killed and 563 buildings destroyed or damaged in the Old Town, formerly a U.N. World Heritage Site.
July marks the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme, one of the First World War's most deadly battles.
Four months of vicious trench warfare ravaged the Somme region and left more than 1.2 million on both sides dead, wounded or held prisoner.
Britain felt the battle's scars most deeply. July 1, 1916, was the deadliest day the British army ever saw, leaving 20,000 victims.
Britain led allied forces into battle hoping to end 18 months of deadlock with a decisive Allied victory over German forces and relieve pressure on the French army at Verdun.
Yet when it ended Nov. 18, Britain had only advanced about six miles.
July 18 marks the 80th anniversary of the rebellion by General Franco and his nationalist forces which set off the 1936-1939 Spanish Civil War.
Franco urged Spain's soldiers to revolt against the leftist democratic government, sparking the Spanish Civil War in which some 500,000 were killed, and put him in power for nearly four decades.
Franco's supporters see him as the man who held Spain together and saved it from Bolshevism. His critics call him a dictator who kept fascism alive in Spain for 30 years after World War II.
Fifty years ago England won the World Cup against Germany.
Geoff Hurst scored three times against Germany in the men's 1966 final on July 30 at Wembley.
August 19 1991, marked the start of the attempted coup that led to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
The coup attempt was initiated by a group of Communist hard-liners who placed Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev under house arrest at his vacation home, fearing that his pending agreement to allow wide sovereignty for Soviet republics would lead to the USSR's disintegration.
But public opposition quickly weakened the coup, notably the tens of thousands who gathered around the Russian government headquarters where President Boris Yeltsin famously defied the coup while standing atop a tank.
The coup collapsed three days later and Gorbachev returned to Moscow, but his power and credibility were fatally dissipated. The republics of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were allowed to split off from the Soviet Union within weeks, and the entire USSR was signed out of existence in December 1991.
The collapse led to severe economic hardships for tens of millions and to a long period of political chaos and the rise of politically powerful tycoons who became known as oligarchs.
On April 17th, 1986, John McCarthy - a producer working for Worldwide Television News - was on his way to Beirut Airport after a temporary posting to Lebanon.
It was a journey he was never to complete. Kidnapped, it was to be 1943 days before he was to gain his freedom on August 8 1991.
The British army introduced tanks into warfare for the first time during World War One in the Battle of Flers-Courcelette on 15 September 1916 according to the UK's Imperial War Museum's website.
On September 20 1946 the very first Cannes Film Festival began.
Since its first edition Cannes has been associated with glamour and celebrities such as Sophia Lorean, Pablo Picasso and Jean Cocteau.
The 1956 Hungarian student protests began on the afternoon of Oct. 23, and by nightfall had turned into an armed uprising.
Around 2,800 Hungarians and 700 Soviet troops were killed in the Red Army offensive to crush the revolt, which was launched on Nov. 4, 1956.
After the military defeat, strikes and protests continued for several weeks until a Soviet crackdown definitively ended the uprising in January 1957.
Some 200,000 Hungarians fled the country and at least 225 Hungarians accused of participating in the revolution were executed including Imre Nagy, the communist-turned-democrat who was briefly returned to power in 1956.
The communists were in power in Hungary until 1989.
Renowned journalist Anna Politkovskaya, 48, was fatally shot in the elevator of her Moscow apartment building in October 7 2006. Her work in the Novaya Gazeta newspaper was sharply critical of Kremlin policies in Chechnya and of human rights violations there.
In 2014 a court convicted five men, most of them Chechens, of involvement in the murder. However, Russia's Investigative Committee has said it is still trying to determine who ordered the killing.
In 1985, American educator Thomas Sutherland was kidnapped in Lebanon by members of Islamic Jihad; he was released on November 18 1991 along with fellow hostage Terry Waite.
Sutherland later said that he spent much of his 6 1/2 years as a hostage in a dark room in Lebanon, reciting Robert Burns' poetry to maintain his sanity.
Sutherland was held with Terry Anderson, then-chief Mideast correspondent for The Associated Press, and Terry Waite, an Anglican Church envoy seized while trying to free the hostages. They were held by a paramilitary organization supported by Iran.
Sutherland and Waite were released in November 1991 and Anderson was freed 16 days later on Dec 4. after 2,455 days in captivity, the last of 13 U.S. hostages to go free in Lebanon.
American hostages Joe Cicippio and Alann Steen had been freed earlier in the same week.
June 6 1956, Israel invaded the Sinai Peninsula, Anglo-French forces occupied the Suez Canal, then withdrew, all parties agreed to a cease-fire, and a United Nations Force took over the canal.
On Dec. 8, 1941, the United States entered World War II as Congress declared war against Imperial Japan, a day after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
