The following events occurred in January 1960: ==January 1, 1960 (Friday)== *The Republic of Cameroun became independent at midnight local time (2300 12/31/59 GMT) with the lowering of the French tricolor, and the raising of a new tricolor (red, yellow and green) flag at Yaoundé. The former French Cameroons colony had been under a U.N. Trusteeship during a transition period, and Prime Minister Ahmadou Ahidjo headed the government pending the adoption of a constitution. United Nations Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld, along with Henry Cabot Lodge, the American Ambassador to the U.N., were present, along with the Soviet First Deputy Premier, Frol Kozlov, who announced that the Soviets would recognize the new government. Marxist Félix-Roland Moumié, who had previously been supported by the Soviet Union, continued to wage a campaign of terrorism against the Ahidjo government, and thirty people were killed on the Republic's first day.〔"Terrorists Kill 30 at Birth Of New Nation", ''Oakland Tribune'', January 1, 1960, p1; ("CAMEROON: Another New Flag" ), January 11, 1960〕 *Midnight, January 1, 1960, is the point from which dates are measured under SAS System and Stata computer programming software. *The symbolic "Doomsday Clock" on the cover of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists was moved back five minutes, from "two minutes to midnight" (where it had been since 1953) to "seven minutes to midnight".〔( Bulletin of Atomic Scientists )〕 *Cities created through merger in Norway-- Smøla (from Edøy, Brattvær, and Hopen); Evje og Hornnes (from Evje and Hornnes); and Sirdal (from Tonstad and Øvre Sirdal). *Died: Margaret Sullavan, 50, American film actress, drug overdose 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「January 1960」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
