August 25 in History for Kids

August 25 collects short history notes for families. The years on this page include 1724, 1741, 1543, 1609. Violent events and crimes are left off. Each line is a small true thing to ask about, not a whole lesson. February 29 is included so a leap-day birthday still has a page. Walk with the previous and next links, or open the August hub for the rest of the month.
