1767 — Siege of Ayutthaya
The siege of Ayutthaya in 1766–1767, also known as the Fall of Ayutthaya and Sack of Ayutthaya, was a part of the Burmese–Siamese War (1765–1767), in which King Hsinbyushin of the Burmese Konbaung dynasty sent his generals Maha Nawrahta and Ne Myo Thihapate to conquer the Siamese Kingdom of Ayutthaya. After conquering and subjugating Siamese peripheral cities, the two Burmese invading columns converged onto and reached the royal city of Ayutthaya in January 1766. Unable to halt Burmese advances at the frontiers, the Siamese were obliged to take defensive positions in the fortified city of Ayutthaya. By February 1766, the Burmese laid siege to Ayutthaya and approached the city walls of Ayutthaya city in September. Ayutthaya employed traditional defense strategies by relying on the supposed impregnability of its walls and the incoming of floods during the rainy season. The Burmese, however, circumvented these strategies by persisting to stay during the rainy season and by employing the tactics of destroying the bases of the city wall of Ayutthaya. After fourteen months of enduring the siege, the centuries-old royal Siamese capital of Ayutthaya fell to the Burmese on 7 April 1767 and was completely destroyed, signifying the end of the Ayutthaya kingdom and paving the way for subsequent events in Thai history.

1863 — First Battle of Charleston Harbor
The First Battle of Charleston Harbor was an engagement near Charleston, South Carolina that took place April 7, 1863, during the American Civil War. The striking force was a fleet of nine ironclad warships of the Union Navy, including seven monitors that were improved versions of the original USS Monitor. A Union Army contingent associated with the attack took no active part in the battle. The ships, under command of Rear Admiral Samuel Francis Du Pont, attacked the Confederate defenses near the entrance to Charleston Harbor. Navy Department officials in Washington hoped for a stunning success that would validate a new form of warfare, with armored warships mounting heavy guns reducing traditional forts.
