Today In History November 30, 2025On this day in 1835, American literature gained a legend: Mark Twain, the author whose humor and insight shaped generations.In 1939, the Winter War erupted as the Soviet Union invaded Finland, launching one of WWII’s most dramatic David-versus-Goliath battles. Fast-forward to 1954, when Winston Churchill stepped down as British prime minister for the final time, closing a defining chapter of 20th-century leadership. In 2021, Barbados became a republic, removing Queen Elizabeth II as head of state and marking a major moment in Caribbean self-determination. And on a somber note, in 2001, the world lost George Harrison, the “quiet Beatle” whose music and spiritual influence still echo today. Other highlights: the first international soccer match in 1872 and the release of iconic albums like Pink Floyd’s The Wall and Michael Jackson’s Thriller—both reshaping music history. That’s November 30 — a day of creativity, courage, transformation, and lasting cultural impact.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/today-in-history--5827249/support.
