Historical Events
- A decade ago, in 2015, Prince Carl Philip (36) of Sweden and the beautiful Sofia Hellqvist (30) said "I do" in a breathtaking royal wedding in Stockholm. Sofia, once a model, soon became "Princess Sofia, Duchess of Värmland," as they started their journey together, surrounded by family, friends, and European royalty[1][4].
- Fast forward to the 21st century, and Ali Agca, the man who tried to assassinate Pope John Paul II, was pardoned in Italy and sent back to Turkey after almost 19 years behind bars. Thankfully, the Pope survived the attack on May 13, 1981, and went on to make an extraordinary impact on the world for decades after[3].
- In 1990, the final demolition of the 155-kilometer Berlin Wall began, marking the end of a symbol of division between East and West Berlin. As the wall came tumbling down, hope and unity began to grow, leading to the unification of Germany in 1990[2].
