Today, March 28, the world celebrates World Historian Day - a holiday for those who have connected their lives with historical science and make a significant contribution to the future of mankind, writes UNN.
World Historian Day
March 28 is World Historian Day – an unofficial holiday dedicated to people who study the past and help understand the present.
Historians are often underestimated, but they are the ones who study events, analyze cause-and-effect relationships and allow society to learn from past mistakes. Their work helps preserve historical memory, debunk myths and resist manipulation.
This day is an opportunity to remember how important it is to know your history and appreciate those who study it.
Washing Machine Birthday
The washing machine's birthday is celebrated on March 28. It was on this day in 1851 that American James King patented the first prototype of the washing machine. Although the first patent for a similar design was obtained back in 1691. Since then, washing machines have come a long way: from manual devices to modern automatic models. The first automatic washing machine was created in 1937, it had a complex design and a high price. Many of those machines worked after inserting a coin.
Today, it is difficult to imagine everyday life without this invention, which over two centuries has become an indispensable assistant in every home.
