This was Norma Jean Dougherty, a young girl posing for a photo
in 1943. Little did she know that she would become one of the
biggest stars in the world a few years after this photo was taken.

This girl went on to become Marilyn Monroe. She started out as
a model and slowly made her way into Hollywood. The rest is
history.

THE WAR OF 1812 BEGAN ON THIS DAY

June 18, 1812: The day after the Senate followed the House of Representatives in voting to declare war against Great Britain,
President
James Madison signed the declaration into law—
and the
War of 1812 began. The American war declaration,
opposed by a sizable minority in Congress, had been called
in response to the British economic blockade of France, the
induction of American seaman into the British Royal Navy
against their will, and the British support of Indian tribes along
the Great Lakes frontier. A faction of Congress known as the
“War Hawks” had been advocating war with Britain for several
years and had not hidden their hopes that a
U.S. invasion of
Canada
might result in significant territorial land gains for the
United States.
