9th February 1950 – Second Red Scare: Senator Joseph McCarthy accuses the United States Department of State of being filled with Communists

by admin on Feb.09, 2010, under On This Day

In United States history, the term Red Scare denotes two distinct periods of strong anti-communism: the First Red Scare, from 1917 to 1920, and the Second Red Scare, from 1947 to 1957. The Scares were characterized by the fear that communism would upset the capitalist social order in the United States; the First Red Scare was about worker revolution and political radicalism. The Second Red Scare was focused on (national and foreign) communists infiltrating the federal government.

The Second Red Scare occurred after the Second World War (1939–45), coinciding with increased popular fear of communist espionage consequent to a Soviet Eastern Europe, the Berlin Blockade (1948–49), the Chinese Civil War, and the Korean War. The fear was provoked with red-baiting and blacklisting.

The Second Red Scare profoundly altered the temper of US society. Its anti-intellectualism contributed to the popularity of anti-communist espionage (My Son John, 1950) and science fiction movies (The Thing From Another World, 1951) with stories and themes of the infiltration, subversion, invasion, and destruction of US society by un–American thought and inhuman beings. Even a baseball team, the Cincinnati Reds, temporarily renamed themselves the “Cincinnati Redlegs” to avoid the money-losing and career-ruining connotations inherent to being ball-playing “Reds” (communists).

8th February 1952 – Elizabeth II is proclaimed Queen of the UK

by admin on Feb.08, 2010, under On This Day

Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; born 21 April 1926) is the Queen regnant of sixteen independent sovereign states known informally as the Commonwealth realms: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis. She holds each crown separately and equally in a shared monarchy, as well as acting as Head of the Commonwealth, and Supreme Governor of the Church of England. As a constitutional monarch, she is politically neutral and by convention her role is largely ceremonial.

When Elizabeth was born, the British Empire was a pre-eminent world power, but its influence declined, particularly after World War II, and the empire evolved into the modern Commonwealth of Nations. Her father, George VI, was the last Emperor of India. On his death in 1952, Elizabeth became Head of the Commonwealth, and queen of seven independent Commonwealth countries: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, and Ceylon, later renamed Sri Lanka. During her reign, which at 57 years is one of the longest for a British monarch, she became queen of 25 other countries within the Commonwealth as they gained independence from Britain. She has been the sovereign of 32 individual nations, half of which later became republics.

7th February 1991 – The IRA launches a mortar attack on 10 Downing Street

by admin on Feb.07, 2010, under On This Day

On the morning of 7 February 1991, the War Cabinet and senior government and military officials were meeting at Downing Street to discuss the ongoing Gulf War. Those present at the meeting included John Major, David Mellor, Douglas Hurd, Tom King, Norman Lamont, Peter Lilley, John Wakeham, Robin Butler, David Craig, Patrick Mayhew, Percy Cradock, Charles Powell and Gus O’Donnell. As the meeting began an Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) member was driving the transit van to the launch site, at the junction of Horse Guards Avenue and Whitehall close to the headquarters of the Ministry of Defence, approximately 200 yards (200 m) from Downing Street.

On arrival, the driver parked the van and left the scene on a waiting motorcycle. Several minutes later at 10:08 am, as a policeman was walking towards the van to investigate it, three mortar shells launched followed by the explosion of a pre-set incendiary device, designed to destroy any forensic evidence, which set the van on fire. Each shell was four-and-a-half feet long, weighed 140 pounds (60 kg) and carried a 40 pounds (20 kg) payload of the plastic explosive Semtex. Two shells landed on a grassed area near to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and failed to explode. The third shell exploded in the rear garden of 10 Downing Street, 30 yards (30 m) from the office where the cabinet were meeting. Had the shell impacted on 10 Downing Street itself it is probable the entire cabinet would have been killed. On hearing the explosion the cabinet ducked under the table for cover. Bomb-proof netting on the windows of the cabinet office muffled the force of the explosion, which also scorched the rear wall of the building and made a crater several feet deep in the garden.

Once the sound of the explosion and aftershock had died down, John Major said “I think we had better start again, somewhere else”. The room was evacuated and the meeting reconvened less than ten minutes later in the underground bunker known as the Cobra Room. No members of the cabinet were injured, but four people received minor injuries, including two police officers injured by flying debris.
