Oslo Accords Officially Signed (1993)

The Oslo Accords, providing for the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the West Bank and Gaza and for limited Palestinian self-government, resulted from the first direct negotiation between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). Though talks were conducted in secret in Oslo, Norway, the agreement was signed publicly in Washington, DC. It was signed in the presence of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO leader Yasser Arafat, yet neither signed it.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 

Domitian Becomes Emperor of Rome (81 CE)
The son of Roman Emperor Vespasian, Domitian was second in line for the throne, yet he was only given positions of nominal importance prior to succeeding his older brother Titus, whom he most likely had killed. Though his laws were severe and increasingly despotic, his administration was ostensibly egalitarian, and he is said to have governed the empire well. Still, defeats in Britain and Germany undermined his leadership.

I guess this counts as recent history (2024):
Ken Niumatatolo, who continued Paul Johnson's triple option success for many years at Navy, is HC at San Jose State now.  In 2024, they passed the ball 63% of the time, which is extremely high.

It's just amazing to me how a HC can go from one extreme to another like that.
