Non-musical history for today: 1991 – Estonia, occupied by and incorporated into the Soviet Union in 1940, issued a decision on the re-establishment of independence on the basis of legal continuity of its pre-occupation statehood. This took me way deep into a rabbit hole, but if you read more into it, the socio-political ramifications of the Soviet Union, some of which are still happening today (Ukraine, anyone?), was a horrible blight on recent history. Unless, of course, you were a benefactor.
