On September 30, 1938, the world witnessed a pivotal moment in history: the signing of the Treaty of Munich. This agreement, reached by the leaders of Germany, Britain, France, and Italy, permitted Adolf Hitler to annex the Sudetenland, a region of Czechoslovakia populated largely by ethnic Germans.

The Warren Commission's report remains a defining moment in American public life, one that shapes how we view governmental transparency, truth, and the insidious appeal of conspiracy theories.
