The Battle of Wagram (5–6 July 1809) was a military engagement of the Napoleonic Wars and ended in a decisive victory for Emperor Napoleon I's French and allied army against the Austrian army under the command of Archduke Charles of Austria-Teschen.

As a result, the Austrian Empire saw its chance to recover some of its former sphere of influence and invaded the Kingdom of Bavaria, a French ally.

The Ecuadorian–Peruvian War, also known as the War of '41 (Spanish: Guerra del 41), was a border war fought from 5–31 July 1941.
