A number of events have taken place and become historical records on April 4. Like Miangas Island fell to the Dutch East Indies until the death of human rights activist Martin Luther King Jr.

1905 - 20 Thousand People Killed during Earthquake in India

The devastating earthquake in the Kangta region, India, occurred in 1905. As a result of the earthquake as many as 20 thousand people died.

After this earthquake, a number of parties immediately took preventive measures so that the death toll did not increase.

1928 - The fall of Miangas Island to the hands of the Dutch East Indies
Miangas is the outermost island of Indonesia which is located in the northernmost area near the border of Indonesia and the Philippines. This island belongs to Miangas Village, Miangas Special District, Talaud Islands Regency, North Sulawesi Province, Indonesia.

Miangas is one of the islands incorporated in the Nanusa Islands group, which borders directly with the Philippines. This island is one of the outer islands of Indonesia, so it is prone to the problem of border terrorism and smuggling.

The Dutch controlled this island since 1677. The Philippines since 1891 incorporated Miangas into its territory. Miangas is known by the name La Palmas on a map of the Philippines.

The Netherlands then reacted by bringing the Miangas issue to the International Arbitration Court. The International Arbitration Court with judge Max Huber on 4 April 1928 ruled that Miangas legitimately belonged to the present Dutch (Indies).

1949 - Signing of the Nato Agreement
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is an international organization for mutual security that was founded in 1949. The establishment of NATO as a form of support for the North Atlantic agreement was signed in Washington DC on April 4, 1949.

The main article of the agreement was Article V which contained: Members agreed that an armed attack on one or more of them in Europe and in North America would be considered an attack on all members.

Furthermore, they agreed that if such an armed attack took place, each member would exercise the right to defend themselves personally or together as stated in Article 51 of the UN Charter

The article explained helping members who were attacked if the use of such forces, both alone and together, was felt necessary, including the use of armed forces, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic region.

The Indonesian Council of Indonesian Muslim Association (Council of Indonesian Muslim Associations) or abbreviated as Masyumi was the largest Islamic political party in Indonesia during the era of liberal democracy. This party was banned in 1960 by President Sukarno for allegedly supporting the PRRI rebellion.

Not long after the Proclamation of Independence of the Republic of Indonesia on November 7, 1945, a new organization called Masyumi was formed. In less than a year, this party became the largest political party and was in government.

In 1952, when Wilopo from the Indonesian National Party (PNI) became prime minister and Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX served as defense minister.

1968 - Human rights activist Martin Luther King Killed Jr. Was killed
Martin Luther King Jr. is a Baptist minister and human rights activist from the United States who was the spokesperson and leader of the civil rights movement from 1954 to 1968.

On October 14, 1964, King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his service against racial inequality through peaceful resistance. In 1965 he participated in leading the Selma Parade to Montgomery.
