On This Day in History

23rd April is an important day in history around the world. Many people know it as the
birthday of the famous English writer, William Shakespeare, but this wasn’t the only thing in
history on 23rd April.

William Shakespeare lived from 1564 until he was 52 years old in 1616. He went to school in
Stratford-upon-Avon. In 1590 he went to live in London and worked as an actor in a theatre.
When he was in London he started to write plays for the theatre. There are 37 plays and
many students around the world know some like Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Macbeth.

In 1972 thousands of miles away, on the same day, John Young and Charles Duke walked
on the moon. At the time they were two of only 12 men to do this. The first was Neil
Armstrong on 21st July 1969. John Young and Charles Duke were two of the astronauts on
Apollo 16.

Twenty years after this walk on the moon, on 23rd April, the American fast-food company
McDonald’s opened its first restaurant in China. On that first day 40,000 people visited this
new McDonald’s in Beijing and had something to eat! Today there are more than 2,500
McDonald’s restaurants in China.

On 23rd April in 2005 Jawed Karim watched the first video on YouTube. Jawed is from
Germany but he went to live in the United States with his family in 1992 when he was 13
years old. He studied computer science at university and started YouTube in 2005 with two
friends.
