In 1945, the MV Wilhelm Gustloff, a German ship transporting both military and non-military personnel, was sunk by a Soviet submarine, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 9,000 people, the largest death toll from a single ship in history. In 1948, Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi—considered the father of his country and internationally esteemed for his doctrine of nonviolent protest, satyagraha, to achieve political and social progress—was assassinated. In 1956, an unidentified suspected white supremacist terrorist bombed the Montgomery home of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In 1972, in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, 13 unarmed civil rights demonstrators were killed by British Army paratroopers in an event that became known as “Bloody Sunday.” In 1995, flooding forced the evacuation of more than 100,000 people from low-lying areas of the Netherlands.
