A vote in the British House of Commons on this day in 1971 approved plans for the UK’s membership of what regional organisation had been created by the Treaty of Rome in 1957?
Answer: European Economic Community (EEC)
On October 28, 1971, the UK’s Parliament voted to join the European Economic Community, marking the start of a long and sometimes uneasy partnership. Britain formally entered in 1973 and reaffirmed membership in a 1975 referendum, but it often stood apart—refusing both the euro and the Schengen zone. Over time, disputes over sovereignty and immigration deepened. In 2016, voters chose to leave the European Union, and by January 2020, the UK’s 47-year membership had ended—closing one of Europe’s most complex political relationships.

On October 28, 1919, legislation was passed in the United States that enforced the 18th Amendment and ushered in the era of Prohibition. What was the name of that act?
Answer: The Volstead Act
On October 28, 1919, the Volstead Act was passed in the United States, enforcing the 18th Amendment and ushering in the Prohibition era. From 1920 to 1933, the manufacture, sale, and transport of alcohol were banned nationwide. Despite its aim to curb crime and improve morality, Prohibition had the opposite effect—fueling bootlegging, speakeasies, and the rise of organised crime figures like Al Capone. The experiment ended with the 21st Amendment, making it the only constitutional amendment ever repealed. Prohibition left a lasting mark on American culture, law, and attitudes towards personal freedom.
