The Treaty of London was an agreement signed between the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland in 1641 which formally brought an end to the 1639 to 1640 Bishops' Wars. Charles I was king of both countries but, since 1639, Scotland had been under the control of a political faction who opposed the king and were known as the Covenanters. In August 1640, a Covenanter army invaded and occupied parts of northern England. The Covenanters and Charles reached an interim truce in October in the Treaty of Ripon. This mandated that the English government pay for the ongoing Covenanter occupation pending further negotiations over a final settlement. Furthermore, Charles was required to summon a new parliament of England which assembled in November 1640. After months of negotiations, on 10 August 1641 Charles signed a long-term peace treaty.

1942 — Aćimović offensive
The Aćimović Offensive, also known as the Aćimović Pursuit, was a military operation of the Serbian State Guard and Chetniks of Kosta Pećanac against partisan detachments in Southeastern Serbia. It was named after Milan Aćimović, the Minister of Internal Affairs in the collaborationist government of Milan Nedić, who was entrusted with preparing the offensive. Occupation troops (German and Bulgarian) did not directly participate in the operation; it was entirely entrusted to collaborationist units. This was one of the most organized and largest offensives against partisan forces in Šumadija, Eastern and Southern Serbia, involving about 10,000 collaborationist troops (Pećanac's Chetniks, the Serbian State Guard, and the Serbian Volunteer Corps). In the third stage of the offensive, which began on 10 August 1942, the Rasina, Toplica and Jablanica detachments were targeted, followed by the Leskovac and Babič detachments.
