I'm tempted to say Los Angeles but I"m going to go with Transylvania, La. I mean who else would want to live there besides a vampire?

Two events took place, one in January 1649 and the other on the same date in 1661.

In one respect, the two events were exactly the same. But they differed in one hugely important respect.

What events? How different?

Nah, that's not an answer. What were the two very similar events that occurred on the same date, 12 years apart? And what was the huge difference?

Airlines required stewardesses to be registered nurses up until WWII. Many nurses we became army nurses and there were not enough to work in the airlines.
It's true that the question you asked was: why didn't air stewardesses need to be qualified nurses, later on.
But that invites the question I answered, which was: why were stewardesses required to be nurses in the early days?
I'm hoping you know the answer to that question -- if so I'd like to hear it.

Probibition meant most whiskey entering the US was smuggled through Canada. Scotch (being from Scotland)

had a more favourable trade status for exportation to Canada than did Irish whiskey.

Prohibition would have dampened the sale of Irish as well as Scotch whiskies and other spirits like cognac, rum, gin and vodka. The depression surely had an effect on all. What caused the decline of Irish whiskies in North America was a combination of things. There were high taxes imposed by the Irish government on whiskies distilled in Ireland due to the exodus of Irish people into North America. Four large distilleries in Ireland conspired to create a monopoly in whiskies and kill off the smaller distillers. There was also a lack of modernization on the part of the Irish distillers of whiskies. Before 1968 even the largest of distillers sold their product in barrels and kegs to pubs. The Coffey still was invented by Aeneas Coffey in Ireland. His device allowed continuous distillation which improved efficiency. He was laughed out of Ireland and took his device to Scotland where it was first used and now used by distillers around the world

Chop Suey was popularized by the civilian population of North America during WWII. Due to the lack of fresh vegetables even for those that had the money, Chinese restaurants began serving a meat and sprout dish called Chop Suey.
