On This Day: First test tube baby of India was born; Germany was unified and more

SUMMARY

On October 3, 1978, the first Indian test tube baby was born in Kolkata. Dr Subhash Mukherjee was the first person in India and the second-ever person in the world to help create a baby through the IVF procedure. On the same day in 1990, the final barrier to the reunification of Germany fell and the German Democratic Republic joined the Federal Republic as five additional Länder, and the two parts of divided Berlin became one Land. In 1949, Germany was formally split into two independent nations, the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany), allied to the West, and the German Democratic Republic (East Germany), allied to the USSR. Here are some more historical events that make October 3 a special day in world history.
