close...

I think I may have screwed up here...

I have done business in Malaysia for over a decade, and I have been told the story hundreds of times about the 1969 riots and how over 10,000 ethnic Chinese were killed. Yet, if you do a search on this, the "official" numbers are only in the hundreds....

so that was not a fair question.

sorry.

Somebody else can go now.... shattered, you were the last one to have a right answer before me....

But it was Cambodia, right? I have no idea what the numbers would be though, I only remember the event.

That is possible too. But I was speaking specifically of Malaysia. It is what finally led to a lot of laws being changed there. It really changed the country. Before that, the Chinese and Indians openly controlled everything. Now they only control everything behind closed doors (everything except the government.... all commerce).

It is called the May 13 Incident

In what year was the first American killed in Vietnam?

 

[USViking]

Whoa!- we got two questions going at the same time here.

The answer the Super's is Hannibal.

I'll guess 1863 for Grant's third star, since that was the year he took Vicksburg.

If I'm wrong on Grant, whoever gets it right can ask next.

First American Dies in Vietnam
Lt. Col. A. Peter Dewey, head of the American O.S.S. mission, is killed by Vietminh troops while driving a Jeep to the airport. Reports will later indicate that his death was due to a case of mistaken identity -- he had been mistaken for a Frenchman.

Maybe that'll help.. I'd prefer month, date, and year.
