- Clarify events which happened in the USA.

- Note that the USA has no King.
- Unify spelling "US", not "U.S.".
- Remove USSR holiday (anniversary of the revolution).
- Don't remove claim that the Federal Republic of Germany was founded
  in 1953 (22 September).  Somebody should clarify if something
  reallly did happen on that day.
