When was velentine day started?

The holiday probably derives from the ancient Roman feast of Lupercalis (February 15). Originally a festival for shepherds, it was celebrated in honour of Faunus. Its primary purpose was to secure fertility for the fields, the flocks, and the shepherds themselves. The festival gradually became associated with the feast day (February 14) of two Roman martyrs, both named St Valentine, who lived in the 3rd century, but about whom nothing specific is known. St Valentine has traditionally been regarded as the patron saint of lovers. An early reference is found in the works of Chaucer, who states that birds pair on St Valentine’s Day. The practice of calling oneself a “valentine” and asking one’s beloved to be the same, is referred to in the Paston Letters, the largest surviving collection of 15th-century English correspondence written by the Paston family and their neighbours in Norfolk.

In England we consider WW1 to be from 1914 until 1918 ('...the eleventh hour of the eleventh day in the eleventh month' - Armistice Day).\n\nWW2 started in 1939 with a declaration of war by Britain and France following the invasion of Poland.\n\nWe remember VE Day in May, 1945 (Victory in Europe) and VJ Day in September, 1945 (Victory against Japan).\n\nHave a look at these two pages - especially the second:

"The day history books changed forever was when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man in Montgomery, Alabama, December 1, 1955, the day most historians consider the beginning of the modern civil rights movement in the United States. The brave, quiet woman, known as "quiet strength," was arrested and fined for violating a city ordinance, but her lonely act of defiance began a movement that ended legal segregation in America and made her an inspiration to freedom-loving people everywhere. Rosa was 42 when she refused to give up her seat and the bus boycott began."
