November 23 in History for Kids

November 23 collects short history notes for families. The years on this page include 1496, 1687, -534, 1924. 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 November hub for the rest of the month.
