Birkhoff's theorem states that the geometry of a given region of space- time is a piece of the Schwarzschild geometry if it is spherically symmetric and satisfies the Einstein empty space equations. The author of this short paper shows that Birkhoff's theorem holds on any affinely connected manifold with zero torsion.
