Rosa Parks was born on February 4, 1913.

The day before she was born, on February 3, the 16th Amendment creating a federal income tax was ratified. Not exactly a war, but interesting.

When Rosa was born, William Howard Taft had one more month in office as President. On March 4, 1912, Woodrow Wilson took office. The next year, July 1914, World War 1 broke out in Europe but it wasn't until April 6, 1917 (when Rosa was four years old) that the US Congress declared war on Germany and the US entered that war.
