The mapping of the human genome will be remembered as one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs in history. In my opinion the cures for major diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes will be found through some sort of genetic way. It will definatly (sp) be up there with such discoveries as antibiotics and vaccines.

June 28, 1919 - Treaty of Versailles Signed
On this wonderful day in 1919, the Great War officially ended as the Treaty of Versailles was signed in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, France. A war that lasted only 37 days less than 5 years, World War I was deemed the "Great War" as it was the War To End All Wars. Exactly 5 years to the date that Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated, the Treaty of Versailles was signed officially putting the Great War into the history books. However, we all know that wasn't the end of the story...
Other significant events...
June 28, 1838 - Britain's Queen Victoria was crowned in Westminster Abbey.
June 28, 1914 - Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austria-Hungary throne, is assassinated by a Serbian nationalist. This event is often seen as the trigger to World War I.

Isn't Versailles the former home of King Louis XIV with the giant house all of the gardens and fountains? That treaty was signed there? (I've been there, and it's probably my favorite place to visit in all of Europe!)
