On May 7, 1945, Germany signed an unconditional surrender at Allied headquarters in Rheims, France, to take effect the following day, ending the European conflict of World War II.

On May 7,1915, A German torpedo sank the British liner Lusitania off the Irish coast, killing nearly 1,200 people.

On May 7,1939, Germany and Italy announced a military and political alliance, the Rome-Berlin Axis.

On May 7,1954, The Battle of Dien Bien Phu in Vietnam ended after 55 days with Vietnamese insurgents overrunning French forces. It also caused the US to consider sending advisers to Vietnam which it did the next year. We all know where that led.
