November 15 in History for Kids

November 15 collects short history notes for families. The years on this page include 1498, 1511, 1532, 1760. 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.
