dec 6, 1917 - Halifax Explosion

Description:

Halifax, one of the most important harbors of the British Empire, faces a massive explosion as a result of a French munitions ship.

This causes great strain to the Entente War effort, destroying over 8000 homes and killing 2000. Many locals accuse the US of firing on the ship in harbor to wreak havok on the civilian population, but there is no evidence of this.
