April 11, 1954 was the most boring day in modern history with only two events: the birth of Abdullah Atalar and elections in Belgium. April 18, 1930 was also dull in the UK with no news reported.

April 11, 1954 has been determined as the most boring day in modern history in terms of historical events, birthdays of famous people or important events in the world of art or sports. In fact, only two things happened that day: a Turkish scholar, Abdullah Atalar, was born, and elections were held in Belgium.
More facts about April 11 and other boring days:
April 18, 1930 was a dull day in the UK. Listeners who tuned in to the BBC news were informed: “Today is Good Friday. There is no news” and piano music was played for the remainder of the broadcast.
Although April 11, 1954 was the dullest day, many historical events happened on that date in other years. Among other things, on April 11, 1979, the former dictator of Uganda, Idi Amin, was deposed; US President Harry Truman relieved General Douglas MacArthur of his command on April 11, 1951; and Abraham Lincoln gave his last public address on April 11, 1865.
April 11 is the birthday of many historical figures other than Atalar, but not in 1954. Other famous April 11 birthdays include Katsurba Gandhi, the wife of Mohandas Gandhi; mathematician Andrew Wiles, who solved Fermat’s Last Theorem; and the Roman emperor Septimius Severus.
