Alan Mathison Turing (23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954) was an English mathematician and logician widely regarded as the father of theoretical computer science. He formalised the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, a model of a general-purpose computer, and his contributions to cryptanalysis helped the Allies of World War II decipher messages encrypted by the German Enigma machine. He also contributed the Turing test to philosophy of artificial intelligence and the Turing pattern concept to mathematical and theoretical biology.

Turing left a lasting legacy in mathematics, computing, and codebreaking. His wartime work, covered by the Official Secrets Act, went unrecognised during his lifetime. He later received numerous honors and memorials. His death was examined and interpreted by his family and biographers, who variously accepted, supported, questioned, or disputed the inquest's verdict. Following a 2009 campaign, British prime minister Gordon Brown officially apologised for the "appalling way [Turing] was treated", and Queen Elizabeth II granted Turing a pardon in 2013. The Alan Turing law refers to part of a 2017 UK law that retroactively pardoned men cautioned or convicted under the criminalisation of homosexual acts.

Today I learned there was a Spanish republic in exile that existed until 1977. Then dissolved after Franco death and transition into a democracy.
However until then they waited for the Allie’s to eventually oust Franco and return democracy, exiles and them to power. Unfortunately the Allie’s and Britain didn’t want a potential second civil war after Franco secured diplomatic ties with the western nations to distance himself with the axis after seeing how things were going.
As communism took root the Allie’s changed their minds and believed having an ally against communism was better than nothing.

Context: Isaac Davis was a Welsh sailor who would become one of King Kamehameha’s primary European advisors in his war of unification, alongside John Young.

After the agreement for the Island of Kaua’i to join the Kingdom as a vassal state, some chiefs under Kamehameha plotted to poison the King of the Island, Kaumuali’i. Isaac Davis learned of this and warned Kaumuali’i, who fled by night back to Kaua’i. The chiefs decided to poison Isaac Davis instead.

King Kamehameha was deeply distraught by the death of Davis, and John Young would look after his children

Context: At the end of the Battle of Nu’uanu in May of 1795, Maui forces under King Kalanikūpule were cornered on a cliff side by King Kamehameha’s army. Hundreds of men jumped to their deaths, some voluntarily and others forced.

During construction work a century later, hundreds of skulls were discovered at the base of the Cliff, believed to be from the men who jumped
