What happened on Friday May 03, 1912?

Here's what happened on May 03, 1912:

• Italy Captures Rhodes from Ottoman Empire The Battle of Rhodes commenced, marking a significant geopolitical transformation in the Aegean region. Italy successfully captured Rhodes, the largest of the Dodecanese islands, from the declining Ottoman Empire. This military action was part of the broader Italian colonial expansion and represented a strategic shift in territorial control in the Mediterranean.
• Moroccan Rebellion Against French Colonization Ahmed al-Hiba, a prominent Moroccan resistance leader, dramatically declared himself 'Imam al-Mujahideen' (Leader of the Fighters) in response to the Sultan's controversial treaty with France that effectively transformed Morocco into a French protectorate. This bold proclamation signaled the beginning of a widespread uprising against colonial occupation, challenging French imperial ambitions in North Africa.
• Georges Méliès Releases 'The Conquest of the Pole' Pioneering French filmmaker Georges Méliès released 'The Conquest of the Pole', an imaginative cinematic adaptation loosely based on Jules Verne's polar exploration narratives. Despite Méliès' innovative storytelling and visual techniques, the film was a commercial failure that significantly contributed to his ongoing financial struggles, ultimately leading to the dissolution of his partnership with Charles Pathé later that year.
