28th June 1969: The Stonewall Riots begin when NYPD raid the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village:

In 1969 it was illegal to engage in homosexual behavior in public, which included holding hands, kissing, or dancing with someone of the same sex. Members of the LGBT community consequently socialized in gay bars that were frequently raided by the police. The Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village had been turned in to a gay bar by the Mafia with the hope that they could profit from offering ‘protection’ to the patrons, while paying off the police to ensure they could continue operating even without a liquor license.

By 1969 the bar had become incredibly popular, especially as it was the only establishment in the city that allowed gay men to dance together. However it also attracted a lot of attention from the police’s Public Morals Squad who frequently raided the city’s gay bars and arrested patrons and employees alike.

In the early hours of 28 June, police officers raided the Stonewall Inn. While they attempted to arrest employees and patrons suspected of cross-dressing, around another 200 customers were released from the bar only to congregate outside on Christopher Street. Scuffles between the patrons and the police soon turned into a full-scale riot, as the community’s longstanding anger exploded.

Unaccustomed to such a violent response, the police retreated back inside the bar. The building was smashed up and set alight and, despite the arrival of riot police, it wasn’t until 4 a.m. that the situation began to calm down. Nevertheless, rioting continued for another five nights and acted as a catalyst for LGBT political activism. Just a year later the first gay pride marches took place, marking the first anniversary of the Stonewall Riots.

The Sino-Soviet border conflict was a seven-month (1969-3-2 to 1969-9-11) undeclared military conflict between the Soviet Union and China at the height of the Sino-Soviet split in 1969. The most serious of these border clashes, which brought the world's two largest communist states to the brink of war, occurred in March 1969 in the vicinity of Zhenbao (Damansky) Island on the Ussuri (Wusuli) River, near Manchuria. The conflict resulted in a ceasefire, with a return to the status quo.

Isdal Woman

.Isdal Woman: A Cold War Murder Mystery - Biog > .

The Isdal Woman (Norwegian: Isdalskvinnen) is a placeholder name given to an unidentified woman who was found dead at Isdalen ("Ice Valley") in Bergen, Norway, on 29 November 1970. Although police at the time ruled a verdict of likely suicide, the nature of the case encouraged speculation and ongoing investigation in the years since. Nearly half a century later, it remains one of the most profound Cold War mysteries in Norwegian history.

..

Many questions remain unanswered about the case, especially the reasons for the woman's many identities and unexplained travel plans. Multiple investigations point to the possibility that she was a spy, given the Cold War context of the time. Norway had also experienced other strange disappearances in the 1960s, close to military installations, which also traced back to international espionage. The declassified records of the Norwegian Armed Forces also reveal that many of the woman's movements seem to correspond to top secret trials of the Penguin missile. A fisherman is also reported to have recognised the unknown woman while observing military movements in Stavanger. The possession of nine fake passports also imply the involvement of a very professional organization. Similarly, counter-intelligence activities by Mossad in Europe at the time may also be linked.

..

In 2017, stable isotope analysis of the woman's teeth (taken from her unburied jawbone[) indicated that the woman had been born in about 1930 in or near Nuremberg, Germany, but had moved to France or the France–Germany border as a child. This reinforced earlier analysis of her handwriting, which suggested that she had been educated in France or a neighbouring country. Analysis also indicated she had been to a dentist in either East Asia, Central Europe, Southern Europe or South America.

In 2018, NRK and the BBC published a podcast series titled Death in Ice Valley, which included interviews with eyewitnesses and forensic scientists, also suggesting that the Isdal Woman's birthplace may have been southern Germany or the French-German border region, and that she was likely born c. 1930 (±4 years). She was also likely raised in French-speaking Belgium.
