On April 6, 1917, the United States formally declared war against Germany and entered the conflict in Europe. Fighting since the summer of 1914, Britain, France, and Russia welcomed news that American troops and supplies would be directed toward the Allied war effort. Under the command of Major General John J. Pershing, over two million U.S. troops fought on battlefields in France.

Avijacija Nemačke bombardovala je Beograd 6. aprila 1941, što je označilo početak invazije na Jugoslaviju.

Deset dana ranije Kraljevina Jugoslavija pristupila je paktu sa Silama osovine. Usledili su protesti u zemlji i državni udar kojim je sa vlasti svrgnut Knez Pavle. Zemlja se približila zapadnim Saveznicima, i to u trenutku kada je Hitler nameravao da započne Operaciju Barbarosa protiv Sovjetskog Saveza. Hitler je lično, 27. marta doneo odluku da se bombarduje Beograd i okupira Jugoslavija. Izvršenje zadatka je povereno 4. vazdušnoj floti pod komandom pukovnika Aleksandra Lera. Operacija bombardovanja Beograda imala je tajni naziv „Strašni sud“ (nem. Strafgericht). Predviđajući rat, jugoslovenska Vlada i Vrhovna komanda su Beograd proglasile „otvorenim gradom“.

Na Pravoslavni Uskrs, 6. aprila, u 6:30 ujutru, bez objave rata, sile Trećeg Rajha su napale Kraljevinu Jugoslaviju. Njihove vazdušne snage su bombardovale Beograd koristeći 234 bombardera i 120 lovaca. Grad je bombardovan u četiri naleta 6. aprila, i ponovo 7, 11. i 12. aprila 1941. Upotrebljeno je oko 440 tona zapaljivih bombi.

Beograd je od napada iz vazduha branio elitni Šesti lovački puk i jedinice protivvazdušne odbrane Vazdušne zone Beograd. Ne zna se tačan broj aviona koje su oborili jugoslovenski piloti, ali se iz raznih izvora ovaj broj procenjuje na 42 do 48. U borbama je poginulo 11 jugoslovenskih pilota.

U bombardovanju Beograda 1941, poginulo je oko 2.500 ljudi. Uništeno je više stotina zgrada, uključujući deo zgrade Starog dvora. Teško je oštećena Vaznesenjska crkva u kojoj je bilo vernika. Najznačajniji spomenik kulture uništen u bombardovanju je Narodna biblioteka sa 300.000 knjiga, uključujući srednjevekovne spise neprocenjive vrednosti.

Nemački feldmaršal fon Klajst je na suđenju posle rata izjavio: „Vazdušni napad na Beograd 1941. godine imao je prvenstveno političko-teroristički karakter i nije imao ništa zajedničko sa ratom. To bombardovanje iz vazduha bilo je stvar Hitlerove sujete, njegove lične osvete.“

Pioneer 11 was the second mission to investigate Jupiter and the outer solar system and the first to explore the planet Saturn and its main rings. Pioneer 11 (also called Pioneer G), unlike Pioneer 10 which only visited Jupiter, used Jupiter's mass in a gravitational slingshot to alter its trajectory toward Saturn.The Star TE364-4 third stage is in a similar trajectory to that of the spacecraft Initial injection aim point close to Jupiter but it is not believed that the TE364-4 is in a hyperbolic escape orbit. The spacecraft passed close to Saturn and then it followed an escape trajectory from the solar system.Date and time of launch : 06 April 1973 at 02:11:00 UTC

1896: Olympiad reborn

On April 6, 1896, the Olympic Games, a long-lost tradition of ancient Greece, are reborn in Athens some 1,400 years after being banned by Roman Emperor Theodosius I. The architect of the Olympic revival was a Frenchman, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who went on to serve as president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) until 1925. At Athens in 1896, the modern reincarnation of the ancient pageant of athleticism involved 13 nations, 280 men, and no women. Ten sports were represented in 42 events, and it was fitting that a Greek, Spyridon Louis, won the marathon, an event that dates back to 776 B.C. In 1924, the year before Pierre de Coubertin's retirement as IOC president, the first truly successful Olympic Games were held in Paris, involving over 3,000 athletes, including more than 100 women, from 44 nations. At the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, more than 10,000 athletes from 200 countries competed, including nearly 4,000 women.

Early Bird, the world's first commercial communications satellite, was built for the Communications Satellite Corporation (COMSAT) by the Space and Communications Group of Hughes Aircraft Company, later Hughes Space and Communications Company, and now Boeing Satellite Systems. The satellite was launched into synchronous orbit on April 6, 1965.
