On April 29 and April 30, 1863, Grant's army crossed the Mississippi and landed at Bruinsburg, Mississippi. An elaborate series of demonstrations and diversions fooled the Confederates and the landings occurred without opposition.

Clinton v. New York was a decision enacted by the US Supreme Court in 1998, which stated that the line-item veto violated the Presentment Clause and, therefore, the US Constitution.
The line-item veto had been introduced by the Line Item Veto Act in 1996 and it allowed the chief of the executive power, the President, to veto fragments or provisions of a bill without vetoing the entire bill. In opposition, the Presentment Clause describes the procedure through which bills originating in Congress, become federal US law. Such procedures only contemplate the president's power or rejecting an entire bill.
Germany signed the <em>Treaty of Versailles</em> with the Allies,officially ending World War 1.The British economist John Maynard Keynes left the treaty conference in protest. In his The Economic Consequences of the Peace 1919, Keynes predicted that the stiff war reparations and other harsh terms imposed on Germany by the Treaty would lead to financial collapse of Germany,which in turn would have serious economic and political repercussions on Europe and the World.
On June 5,1919 ,Keynes wrote a note to Lloyd George PM of England,that he was resigning his post in protest of the impending devastation of Europe.
In his book Keynes wrote""if we aim at the impoverishment of Central Europe,vengeance,I dare say will not limp.Nothing can then delay for very long the forces of Reaction and the despairing convulsions of Revolution,before which the horrors of the later German war will fade into nothing,and which will destroy, whoever is victor,the civilisation and the progress of our generation.""
