Not weird history, but history for the weekend:
November 9, 1938: Krystallnacht (night of broken glass), which is one of the major markers of the escalating terror the Nazis subjected Jewish people to.
Actually lots of German history in this date: the Kaiser abdicated (1918), and East Germany opens its gates to the west (1989).
November 10: the Marine Corps' birthday in a bar in Philadelphia (1775), and the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (1975), one of the most recent major shipwrecks in the US.
November 11: Veterans'/Remembrance Day; the end of the shooting in World War I (1918).

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 

John F. Kennedy Defeats Richard Nixon for US Presidency (1960)
In 1960, Kennedy, a US senator, earned the Democratic nomination for president. In the campaign that followed, he engaged in a series of televised debates with his Republican opponent, Richard M. Nixon. After a vigorous campaign managed by his brother Robert F. Kennedy and aided financially by his father, Joseph P. Kennedy, he defeated Nixon by a narrow popular margin. At 43, he became the youngest person ever, and the first Catholic, elected president.

Galen Clark

In 1853, after being told by doctors that he had just six months to live, Galen Clark moved to Yosemite National Park. There, he defied medical expectations and lived for another 57 years. During this time, he discovered the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoia trees and dedicated himself to exploring the park and teaching others about the massive trees. His passion for the area earned him his reputation as guardian of the park and led to the passing of the Yosemite Grant
