1862 — Lincoln issues the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation
President Abraham Lincoln announced that enslaved people in areas still in rebellion against the United States would be declared free on January 1, 1863. This preliminary Emancipation Proclamation gave advance notice of a wartime measure and linked Union military policy more explicitly to emancipation. It did not immediately free every enslaved person, nor did the final proclamation apply equally to all states and territories. Its practical effect depended heavily on the advance of Union forces. Nevertheless, the announcement changed the political meaning of the Civil War and prepared the way for the final proclamation issued at the start of the following year.

The Brazilian Navy gave support to the 20,000 assailants, but the ships had to keep some distance from the guns at the fortress of Humaitá, which led to the lack of accuracy and impact of the ship's fire.

1980 — Iran–Iraq War
The Iran–Iraq War was an armed conflict between Iran and Ba'athist Iraq lasting from September 1980 to August 1988. The Iran–Iraq War began when Iraq invaded Iran on 22 September 1980. It followed a long history of border disputes, and was motivated by fears that the Iranian Revolution in 1979 would inspire insurgency among Iraq's long-suppressed Shi'i majority, as well as Iraq's desire to replace Iran as the dominant Persian Gulf state. Although Iraq hoped to take advantage of Iran's revolutionary chaos and attacked without formal warning, it made only limited progress into Iran and was quickly repelled; Iran regained virtually all lost territory by June 1982.
