Jan 20—President Ronald Reagan completes his 20‑minute inaugural address after being sworn in as President of the United States.[1]
52 American hostages, from the Iran hostage crisis, were then released to U.S. personnel. They were flown from Iran to Algeria as a symbolic gesture of appreciation for the Algerian government's supposed help in resolving the crisis[1] under Algiers Accords, which involved unfreezing Iranian assets.[2]
The releasing of the hostages on the same day as Ronald Reagan’s inaugural address, has come to be known as the October Surprise conspiracy.
