Fun for Friday: Weird July History

Time for more weird history to inspire your writing or maybe just pique your curiosity!
For this month, we start with The History Place’s comprehensive list for every day of the month of July. Although not everything on this list is “weird,” there are certainly some gems tucked in there!
Sky History also provides three “chaotic” historical events from July. (All three involve significant numbers of people killed, which may fit some definitions of “chaotic.”)
Finally, in honor of today being the Fourth of July in the United States, we have an article from Teaching American History about unexplainable events on the Fourth of July.
Even if you don’t write historical fiction, you could choose an odd event and transport it into a different setting, time period, genre, etc. See if any of these events gives you a great idea for a story, poem, or even a novel!
Also, I’ve now done a weird history post for every month of the year. You can find all twelve of them under my “weird history” tag. Starting next month, I’ll have a new weird monthly theme for Fun for Friday and writing inspiration!
