Notes for Monday – April 18, 2016

On April 18th, 1521, the trial of Martin Luther [1] began its second day and Luther refused to recant his teachings despite the risk of excommunication.

Also on this day in 1942, the Doolittle Raid [2] on Japan was carried out. Tokyo, Yokohama, Kobe, and Nagoya were bombed. While strategically ineffective, the raid had a huge impact on the moral of the United States, showing that Japan was not “out of reach” like they believed.
