May 13th has been a day marked by remarkable events across the globe, spanning centuries and touching on a variety of fields. Turning the clock back several centuries, on May 13, 1846, the United States declared war on Mexico, initiating the Mexican-American War. This conflict arose from disputes over territory following the annexation of Texas by the U.S. and was a crucial moment in shaping the borders of the modern United States and Mexico. The war concluded with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, resulting in the U.S. acquiring vast territories including present-day California, Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of several other states. Although a short-lived conflict, the war had lasting repercussions on the political and social landscapes of both nations. In an entirely different sphere, May 13, 1917, is remembered for the first apparition of Our Lady of Fátima in Portugal. This event holds deep religious and cultural significance, especially within the Catholic community.
