Start of 2nd World War No, that was a bit later. Surely everything that happened in 1852 was historical in one way or another. The same applies for yesterday. What happened in 1852: The first British public toilet for women opened in London. The HMS Birkenhead sank near Cape Town, South Africa. Only 193 of the 643 on board survived after troops stand firm on the deck so as not to flood the lifeboats containing women and children. Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe was published.
