The quizzes aren't inclusive of every event on the particular day. However the events I believe you are referring to did make world news. All of the 366 "On This Day" quizzes are due for review soon, it's almost 4 years since I made them, so questions may be changed or added. Thanks for taking the quiz and the time to comment.
