March 16, 2013: What happened on that day?


Here's what happened on March 16, 2013:

  • British Soldier's Heroic Sacrifice Lance Corporal James Ashworth was posthumously recommended for the Victoria Cross for his extraordinary bravery in Afghanistan. During a critical moment, he sacrificed his life while attempting to protect his fellow soldiers from a grenade explosion, embodying exceptional courage and selflessness.
  • Cypriot Financial Crisis Bailout In a controversial financial rescue, Cyprus reached an agreement with the ECB-IMF troika for a €10 billion bailout package. The terms shocked Cypriots, as the plan would effectively confiscate up to 10% of citizens' bank deposits to raise funds. This led to widespread public anger, with people queuing from dawn to withdraw their savings.
  • Pope Francis Addresses Journalists In his first Vatican audience with journalists, Pope Francis articulated his vision for the Catholic Church, expressing a desire for a 'poor Church, for the Poor'. This statement signaled a potential shift towards a more humble and socially conscious approach to religious leadership.
  • Zimbabwe Constitutional Referendum Zimbabweans participated in a national referendum to vote on a new constitution. Notably, both major political parties - the Movement for Democratic Change-Tsvangirai and Zanu-PF - expressed support for the proposed constitutional changes, signaling a rare moment of political consensus.
  • Wales Wins Six Nations Rugby Championship Wales secured a dominant victory in the 2013 Six Nations Championship, defeating England 30-3 in Cardiff. The comprehensive win demonstrated Wales' rugby prowess and continued their strong performance in international rugby.
