I typed "March 5" into the yahoo search engine. The first entry was for Wikiopedia, which listed several notable events, including:
[1] 363 - Roman Emperor Julian moves from Antioch with an army of 90,000 to attack the Sassanid Empire;
[2] 1496 - England King Henry VII issued letters patent to John Cabot and his sons, authorizing them to discover of unknown lands;
[3] 1770 - Boston Massacre: Five Americans, including a black slave named Crispus Attucks, and a boy are killed by British troops;
[4] 1912 - Italian forces are the first to use airships for military purposes, using them for reconnaissance behind Turkish lines;
[5] 1979 - Voyager 1's closest approach to Jupiter.
And some birthdays:

[2] 1898 - Zhou Enlai, Premier of China (d. 1976)
[3] 1958 - Andy Gibb, English singer (d. 1988)
