1876 - The American inventor Alexander Graham Bell submits at half past twelve in the day a patent application to the patent office in Washington, DC for a device, with which people should be able to talk to each other over long distances, which is called phone. Experiments with the transmission of speech by electrical means had been carried out by various inventors for over 30 years already and only two hours before Bell had Elisha Gray submitted a patent application for a similar device. However, since his application is not processed until two hours after Bell's application, Bell is counted as the telephone's inventor.
1912 – Arizona becomes the 48th state to be admitted to the American Union.^[4] After that, no new state is occupied until 1959, i.e. in almost 47 years, and this will so far be the second longest period in the history of the United States, during which no new state is admitted.
1922 - Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Company, founded in 1897, is licensed to resume its experimental radio broadcasts in Great Britain (they were stopped altogether by the British Post Office in 1920). The broadcasts take place from a cottage in Writtle near Chelmsford, but three months later (on 11 May) you can start broadcasting from the company's address in London.
1928 - During this year's Winter Olympics in the Swiss Sankt Moritz, the Swedish cross-country skier wins Per-Erik "Särna" Hedlund gold in 50 kilometer cross-country skiing, which will be Sweden's first ever Winter Olympic gold. He rides in a white suit that the seamstresses in his hometown made for him. It is considered to bring luck after the victory. Since then, the Swedish national team uniform for cross-country skiers has been more or less white.
1952 – 1952 Winter Olympics inaugurated in Oslo by Princess Ragnhild. The games end on February 25.
1987 - The Swedish skier Ingemar Stenmark takes his last World Cup victory in slalom in French Smile Markstein. It will be his penultimate victory in Alpine World Cup at all.

It all leads to Britain breaking diplomatic relations with Iran on March 7 of the same year and two members of The Swedish Academy – Kerstin Ekman and Lars Gyllensten – stops participating in the work of the Swedish Academy, because it does not want to stand behind an appeal to the Swedish government on the issue (which is justified by a rule in the academy's statutes, which states that it should not make political statements).

Half an hour later, the men also take Thobias Fredriksson and Björn Lind gold in the same branch.
