On July 20, 1810, Colombia declared its independence from Spain. Independence would not be recognized until August of 1819 when Colombian forces defeated the Spanish at the Battle of Boyaca.
In a separate event (or is it?), today is also the 36th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission that landed on the moon. To celebrate, Google has set up a map.
