A city, a people, and thousands of families divided in the predawn hours — a scar on a nation — had its beginning on Aug. 13. The HAN Network’s Donald Eng takes a look back at this big event and others that happened in history on Aug. 13.
Check out the video below that looks back at the capture of the Aztec capital by Cortéz, King Louis XVI’s arrest, a mock battle in the Spanish-American War and more.
