Mother fucking Napoleon Bonaparte crowned himself Emperor of France. The first Emperor they had in a thousand years. And then later his nephew.
James Monroe said we'd be neutral in all future wars (Monroe Doctrine). John Brown, (militant) Abolisionist was hanged, Charles Dickens gave his first ever public reading in the US, Ford unveiled it's Model A, the first ever self-sustaining Nuclear Reaction was done in the Manhattan Project, the EPA started up and NASA also launched the Endeavor to repair the Hubble.
Emperor Pu Yi ascends the Chinese throne, at agefucking 2, Che Guevara and Fidel Castro disembarked a ship to begin the Cuban Revolution, and then a few years later told everyone they were going Communist, then Castro became President. The United Arab Emirates became a thing and four US Nuns were killed by an El Salvadorian death squad.
Oh, but my most notable - Pablo "Motherfucking*" Escobar was shot in the everything on a roof and killed by either the Colombian Search Bloc (Execution Style) or Delta Force (Sniper-through-the-Ear Style).
As for Births...Carlo Furno, only noted because of the longest fucking title ever: "Cardinal Grand Master Emeritus of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem", Rick Savage from Def Leppard, Lucy Liu, and Britney Spears (well, at least it's not Hitler).

June 25th Deaths - Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett Births - George Michael, George Orwell, Carlos Delgado Events - Apparently in 1990, NBC decided to air "Quantum Leap" episodes for five days straight. In 1951, the first color tv broadcast.
Jim Carey, James Earl Jones and Al Capone- Jan 17. So the totally overlooked fact here is that alot of factors can affect your birthday by a day or two during pregnancy, so the more important question is what happened roughly 9.5 months before you were born.
December 9: John Milton Grace Hopper (computer programming pioneer) Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Kirk Douglas John Cassavetes Imogen Heap Judi Dench (awesome) John Malkovich (more awesome) Michael Dorn (more more awesome) Jakob Dylan (I add him because one of his dad's songs just started playing)
