'''February 24'''in history:
* 1991: The ground-war phase of the Persian Gulf War began at 4 a.m. (local time; it was 8 p.m. on February 23, EST); it featured a massively successful outflanking movement of the Iraqi forces and lasted exactly 100 hours.
* 1868: The [[Directory:United States of America|U.S.]] House of Representatives passed a resolution for the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson; the vote was 126 to 47.
* 1863: [[Directory:Arizona|Arizona]] was proclaimed a separate U.S. territory by President Abraham Lincoln, who hoped that the new territory's gold and silver would help pay for the Civil War.
* 1848: As the first of the Revolutions of 1848 turned into a major insurrection in Paris, the French king Louis Philippe abdicated his throne; the Orléanist monarchy ended with the proclamation of the Second Republic.
* 1803: The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the case of Marbury v. Madison; in what is generally regarded as the single most important opinion in the history of the Court, Chief Justice John Marshall asserted the power of judicial review.
