TODAY IN HISTORY (19th February, 1913).
The shortest presidency was that of Pedro Lascuráin, who presided over Mexico for less than an hour on February 19, 1913. President Francisco Ignacio Maderno, who was overthrown along with his vice president, Jose Maria Pino Suarez (who was also slain on February 22, 1913), had Lascuráin as his legitimate successor. As a result, Lascuráin, who had served as Foreign Affairs Minister, was compelled to take the presidency. As president of Mexico, he did nothing more than name General Victoriano Huerta, the mastermind of the coup, Minister of Foreign Affairs, so that Huerta would succeed him as president upon his resignation.

FIVE INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT MAHATMA GANDHI YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T KNOW!
1. Gandhi was married at just 13 years old to Kasturba Makanji, who was also a teenager at the time. This arranged marriage was set up when Gandhi was just seven years old.
2. His activism journey began in South Africa, not India. He traveled to South Africa in 1893 to work as a lawyer and experienced racism firsthand, which prompted him to campaign for the civil rights of Indians in South Africa.
3. Despite being nominated multiple times, Gandhi never received the Nobel Peace Prize. However, his legacy inspired future Nobel winners, including Martin Luther King Jr. and the Dalai Lama.
4. Gandhi was an extremely shy child and a mediocre student. Who would have thought that this shy boy would grow up to lead millions of people in India's independence movement?
5. Gandhi's birthday, October 2, is celebrated worldwide as the International Day of Nonviolence. He also had interactions with famous author Leo Tolstoy through letters, and even set up a colony called Tolstoy Farm in South Africa.
