(Short Article) Some World Historical Events in September

OK, this time I'd like to write a short (English) article and not just conversation. I know, writing conversation all the time can be "boring" or considered not progressive. Actually, it depends on what we want to write. If the topic is better to be written in article/essay form, I'll do it. In contrast, sometimes it might sound more fun and "eye-catching" to write certain topics in conversation form. I'm not a perfect blogger. Just want to be honest with myself. Alright, here we go...

Actually this topic is rather late. I should have written it in the beginning of this month, but I guess it's not really a matter. It's about some historical events in the world happening in month of September. Of course, not all events are written here, just the most interesting ones (in my opinion). On September 1, 1939...
