What Important Events Happened in July?

Does this sprout up any memories? If yes, then we know you're patriotic about your country. But if not, it's all right. We've got you covered. July plays an essential role in the lives of Americans who value independence and freedom and believe in every individual's right to live for many reasons.

July is a bright month for many reasons but let's look at some that we found necessary.

Let's discuss some crucial events that have taken place on this date and have been jotted down in our history books:

Four Events That Highlight the Importance of July

1. The Birth of E-commerce

Aren't we all grateful for Amazon's existence? It has made our lives so much easier. Everything is available so readily, and by everything, we mean everything. In 1994, on July fifth, Jeff Bezos founded Amazon. This online e-commerce website has come a tremendously long way and plays a vital role in making the lives of Americans easier.

Amazon started as an online book-selling platform. Still, as time progressed, it expanded its line to sell groceries, household items, music CDs, and other products and services ranging from video streaming to cloud computing.

Currently, Amazon is selling over 12 million products.

2. Does the Weather Bother You?

No matter how much we thank technology for providing us with so much convenience, it still won't be enough. While we are grateful for the technology we have to combat the repercussions of climate change, we are also quite unaware of how this technology has evolved. So let us ask you this:

"Do you know why July seventeenth is an important date?"

No? It's fine; let us update you.

Willis Haviland Carrier designed the first modern air-conditioning system on this date. His creation improved the lives of so many. It completely changed how we function and introduced a pros-only system with no cons.

Now isn't this an important date to remember?

3. Fly to the Moon!

On July 20th, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human being to step onto the moon. Armstrong and two astronauts landed in their Lunar Module, The Eagle. Armstrong and one other astronaut walked around the moon for three hours, where they initiated experiments and collected small pieces of moon dirt and rocks.

This incident added another successful mission to U.S's bucket list. Even though this took place over 50 years ago, it is still relevant when studying science and understanding how the world around us functions.

4. Freedom!

July fourth is probably the most important date in American history. This is the day we won our independence in the year 1776. July fourth is celebrated with fireworks, events, and a lively environment.

The entire country wakes up with patriotism on the morning of the fourth, and each American celebrates this holiday with great honor, respect, and love.

On July fourth, we witness parades, concerts, gatherings, parties, and celebrations all around the corner. These celebrations exude pride, love, oneness, and socialization!

July fourth is an important date for Americans because it encourages a personal sense of responsibility.

Key Takeaways

Every month is essential, but certain months excite us more than other months. This may be due to the importance of that month or due to an occurrence that holds significance in our lives.

Nonetheless, what is essential is to stay up-to-date regarding current events and remember important dates because those will give birth to different ideas and make us value what we have more.
