What happened on Monday May 26, 1924?

Here's what happened on May 26, 1924:

• US Immigration Act of 1924 U.S. President Calvin Coolidge signed the Immigration Act of 1924, a significant piece of legislation that dramatically restricted immigration to the United States. The law established strict national origin quotas and included the Asian Exclusion Act, which effectively banned immigration from Asian countries, reflecting the xenophobic and racist policies of the era.
• Battle of Turubah The Battle of Turubah was a significant military engagement between the Kingdom of Hejaz and the Sultanate of Nejd, two competing regional powers. This conflict was pivotal in determining the geopolitical landscape of the Arabian Peninsula and ultimately played a crucial role in the formation of what would become the modern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
• German Government Resignation The government of Wilhelm Marx, a Chancellor of the Weimar Republic, resigned, reflecting the political instability characteristic of Germany during the interwar period. This resignation was part of the ongoing political turbulence that would eventually contribute to the rise of extremist political movements.
• Alleged 'Death Ray' Demonstration Harry Grindell Matthews attempted to demonstrate a purported 'death ray' to the United Kingdom's War Office, an event that highlights the speculative and imaginative technological aspirations of the early 20th century. While the demonstration's success is undocumented, it represents the era's fascination with potential breakthrough technologies.
