What Happened This Year? Game - VGF

Post number 476 = the commonly accepted year of the Western Roman Empire's fall. I pwned Rome. Veni, vidi, vici as they say.

...

Okay, okay. The mechanic is as follows: Take the last three digits of your post count. Then, if the thousands digit is even, take it as 0. If it's odd, take it as 1. With those 4 digits, you get a year. (For example, if this is your post number 6537, your year would be 0537 = 537. If it were your post number 9976, your year would be 1976.

Now, post something that happened in that year. You can always use Wikipedia if you don't know.

Have fun?!

1892: James Naismith publishes the rules for basketball.

I picked that because I'm actually a distant relative of his by marriage. Seriously.
