The founding of the World Health Organization? 1948 I think?

Invention or first use of the singer sewing machine?
Looks like she's stitching a uniform of some sort.

Ok, I think I have it.
The people on top of the building are dressed like 19th century Greeks, that is the first clue.
The soldiers that are trying to get inside, especially those on the stairs don't look like Ottoman Turks, though I must admit I am not at all knowledgeable on Ottoman army uniforms of the period.
So no clue here, other than my initial gut feeling of "Greeks vs Turks" is unlikely to be correct.
The second real clue is the architecture:
The only place in Greece where people of the 19th century built structures like that and were willing to risk their lives to defend against an army was the Mani peninsula, very harsh land, even harsher people, they still hold the vendetta culture.
Perhaps that is the reason why they would build their houses like that.
Reading a bit on the 19th century history of the Maniots, it now seems to me that this is a depiction of the 1834 Maniot rebellion/insurgency.
It happened because the government saw the Maniot houses as potential strongholds and since the Maniots were already notoriously unruly, they decided to have them demolished without compensation.
The rest is history.
I still don't get the trooper uniforms though.
The Maniot uprising of 1834 is indeed the correct answer. The Maniot elite didn't really respect the authority of the central government, which justifiably viewed the towers as a very effective measure to resist against any attempt to impose its control. The uprising was largely successful, as the regular army failed to quell it effectively, because of its lack of artillery, hostile climate and nonexistent infrastructure. The uniforms belong to the regular forces of the Greek kingdom (check the light blue and white colours). They may specifically belong to the Bavarian "volunteer" corps (most of its men were actually forcefully conscripted), but I'm not absolutely certain.
Lockerbie.

Death of Buddy Holly in a plane crash.
"Lay these words to heart, Lucilius, that you may scorn the pleasure which comes from the applause of the majority. Many men praise you; but have you any reason for being pleased with yourself, if you are a person whom the many can understand?" - Lucius Annaeus Seneca -
How casual of you, bordering on the vulgar I might say.
February 3, 1959, the day the music died, with the deaths of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and "The Big Bopper", J.P.Richardson.
...
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
Something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
