*TODAY IN HISTORY*

* On this day in 1914, Britain declared war on Germany. Seen by many as the decision that began the first World War, Britain declared war on Germany after Germany refused to accept its ultimatum of getting out of Belgium.

* On this day in 1984, the Republic of Upper Volta was Renamed Burkina Faso. The West African country was first created in 1958 as a self-governing French colony and gained its independence in 1960. In 1983, a military coup installed Captain Thomas Sankara as the country’s president. He changed the name of the country to Burkina Faso a year later on the coup’s anniversary.
