On March 22nd, a variety of significant events took place throughout history. Here are 15 notable occurrences, ranging from scientific breakthroughs to important cultural moments:
1622: The Jamestown Massacre: The Powhatan Confederacy attacked English settlers in Jamestown, Virginia, killing around 347 people, nearly a third of the English population of the Virginia colony.

Aimed at raising revenues from the American colonies, this act required all legal documents, newspapers, and pamphlets to use stamped paper denoting the tax had been paid.

6. 1923 The First Dance Marathon is Held in New York City: Alma Cummings set a world record by dancing for 27 hours straight, sparking a dance marathon craze during the Great Depression.

1945 The Arab League is Formed: The Arab League was founded in Cairo, Egypt, to promote economic, cultural, and political cooperation among its members.
1960 The First Laser is Patented: Arthur Schawlow and Charles Townes were granted the first patent for the laser, a device that has since become ubiquitous in various fields of technology and medicine.
1972 The Equal Rights Amendment is Passed by the U.S. Senate: The amendment aimed to guarantee equal rights regardless of sex, though it ultimately failed to be ratified by enough states to become part of the Constitution.
1995 Cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov Returns to Earth: After spending 437 days in space aboard the Mir space station, Polyakov returned to Earth, setting a record for the longest single human spaceflight.
1997 Tara Lipinski becomes the youngest world figure skating champion: At 14 years old, Tara Lipinski wins the gold at the World Figure Skating Championships, becoming the youngest ever to win.
2006 ETA Announces a Permanent Ceasefire: The Basque separatist group ETA declared a "permanent ceasefire" in its campaign for independence from Spain, signaling an end to decades of violence.
2016 President Obama Visits Cuba: Marking a significant thaw in relations, Barack Obama became the first sitting U.S. president to visit Cuba in 88 years, symbolizing a historic move towards reconciling the two countries' long-strained relations.
