Topics Included on this
Video for November 20 in History:
1.
Beginning of the
Mexican Revolution (
November 20th 1910).
November 20th 1910 marks the beginning of the Mexican Revolution. Before that day
Mexico had suffered 34 years of dictatorship under
Porfirio Diaz. The economy had been growing but the rich were richer and the poor were poorer (yeah, sounds familiar right?) so discontent kept growing despite a systematic silencing of any opposition. When
Diaz announced in an interview that he would not run for re-election, the opposition, led by
Francisco Madero, became more active and gained fast support, which made Diaz go back on his word and impression Madero just before the elections. However, Madero escaped to the
United States shortly after and from
San Antonio issued the
Plan de San Luis de
Potosi where he called for a rise to national arms on November 20th which sparked a
Revolution that would lead to the proclamation of the
Mexican Constitution and that forged pop culture legends such as
Emiliano Zapata and
Pancho Villa.
2.
Release of
Windows 1.0 (November 20th
1985).
A different type of revolution happened on November 20th 1985, when as most you geeks will already know, Windows 1.0 was released. This year marks the 30th anniversary, so if you own any device running
Windows, celebrate it this Friday! Take your device out on a date, get some cake… you know make the device feel special!
Anyway, back to Windows 1.0. Not surprisingly the system was not the prettiest, coolest or best performing operating system in the market but as with many other things, somehow
Bill Gates and
Microsoft pulled it off and stablished it as the dominant system around the globe. However, initial reception was poor. Critics felt that the system did not meet their expectations and suffered from performance issues, really? Windows performance issues? No way! Did you mean? The horrible blue screen of death. Well for the better or for the worse, Windows did make a
difference, so
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday… ok this is weird.
KINO the pig is the conductor of the show, but for the other visual support we have used content found online (and sometimes we have altered it to make it relevant and funny). We have tried to get as much as possible from public domain and the rest most is parody. However since on
Google Images it is hard to tell, we surely end up with some material made by someone else and we would have liked to list all the sources but honestly, the list would be endless, so if you want to get some image, let us know in the comments and if the original work is yours
and you would like us to mention, let us know and we will happily do so In any case, we will never delete or cover any source printed on the images.
