FAMOUS EVENTS
First adhesive postage stamps issued (1847).
Battle of Gettysburg begins (1863).
First U.S. zoo opens, in Philadelphia (1874).
At 7:30 a.m., the British launch a massive offensive against German forces in the Somme River region of France. During the preceding week, 250,000 Allied shells had pounded German positions near the Somme, and 100,000 British soldiers poured out of their trenches and into no-man's-land on July 1, expecting to find the way cleared for them. However, scores of heavy German machine guns had survived the artillery onslaught, and the infantry were massacred. By the end of the day, 20,000 British soldiers were dead and 40,000 wounded. It was the single heaviest day of casualties in British military history. The disastrous Battle of the Somme stretched on for more than four months, with the Allies advancing a total of just five miles (1916).
The autonomous Dominion of Canada, a confederation of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the future provinces of Ontario and Quebec, is officially recognized by Great Britain with the passage of the British North America Act (1867).
As part of their campaign to capture Spanish-held Santiago de Cuba on the southern coast of Cuba, the U.S. Army Fifth Corps engages Spanish forces at El Caney and San Juan Hill (1898).
At midnight, Hong Kong reverts back to Chinese rule in a ceremony attended by British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Prince Charles of Wales, Chinese President Jiang Zemin, and U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. A few thousand Hong Kongers protested the turnover, which was otherwise celebratory and peaceful (1997).
NBC broadcasts the first TV commercial to be sanctioned by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The FCC began licensing commercial television stations in May 1941, granting the first license to NBC. During a Dodgers-Phillies game that was broadcast July 1, NBC ran its first commercial. Advertiser Bulova paid $9 to advertise its watches on the air (1941).
Eddie Cantor broadcasts his last radio show after more than 20 years on the air (1954).
Legendary radio disk jockey Wolfman Jack, born Robert Smith, dies. Brooklyn-born Smith became famous when he was broadcasting from Mexico in the 1960s. Because Mexican stations broadcasted with five times more power than U.S. stations, a large portion of the United States could receive Wolfman Jack's show every night, on which he played blues and early rock and roll. He died in North Carolina (1995).
