Could not be confirmed:

• 1900 - United Kingdom annexes Natal, South Africa.

All I could find is that Natal was annexed sometime in 1848.

• 1916 - Battle of Verdun

I have no idea why this is listed because the battle was fought betwee 21 February - 18 December 1916.

Wrong:

• 1978 - John Paul I becomes Pope

Nope. August 26 is the right day.

From Wikipedia: 1939: Paratroops are used for the first time, with German units dropped into Silesia, behind Polish lines. 1939 in aviation 1939: Bydgoszcz events, the "Bromberg Bloody Sunday"

Could this be a possible entry?

• 1950 - "Nino" Farina becomes the first Formula One Drivers' champion after winning the 1950 Italian Grand Prix.
