1822 — Action of 9 November 1822
The Action of 9 November 1822 was a naval battle fought between the United States Navy schooner USS Alligator and a squadron of three piratical schooners off the coast of Cuba during the US Navy's West Indies Anti-Piracy Operation. Fifteen leagues from Matanzas, Cuba, a large band of pirates captured several vessels and held them for ransom. Upon hearing of the pirate attacks, the Alligator under Lieutenant William Howard Allen rushed to the scene to rescue the vessels and seize the pirates. Upon arriving at the bay where the pirates were said to be, USS Alligator dispatched boats to engage the enemy vessels, as the water was too shallow for the US warship to engage them herself.

General elections were held in Burma on 9 November 1932, having originally been planned for 29 October. The election was held almost solely on the issue of whether Burma should separate from India, as the British government had indicated that it would take the outcome of the elections as an indication of Burmese opinion. Prior to the elections many of the major parties joined either the Anti-Separation League or the Separation League. Despite expectations that the separationists would win, the Anti-Separation League won a majority of seats. However, the anti-separationists were not in favour of maintaining the union with India, but instead called for a better constitution for a separate Burma.

East German border crossings in Berlin opened after a confused announcement of new travel rules sent crowds toward the checkpoints. Guards, lacking clear instructions and facing growing pressure, began allowing people through. East and West Berliners crossed the border and celebrated together, turning the evening into an enduring symbol of the end of Europe's Cold War division. The opening followed months of protest and political change in East Germany and neighboring countries. It did not mean that the entire wall was physically demolished that night. Its removal and Germany's reunification were processes that continued in the months that followed.
