1916 — Battle of San Francisco de Macoris
The Battle of San Francisco de Macoris took place on 29 November 1916 during the early stages of the United States occupation of the Dominican Republic. Dominican forces in San Francisco de Macoris had refused to lay down their arms and had taken control of the local fortaleza. This was in direct violation of the terms imposed by the military government installed by the United States. A small squad of Marines that were close by were able to make their way inside the fortaleza and surprise the defenders, securing it before any organized resistance could take place.

On November 29, 1929, an aircraft carrying explorer Richard E. Byrd and three crewmates reached the vicinity of the South Pole during a flight from the Little America base in Antarctica. Byrd navigated, Bernt Balchen piloted, Harold June handled radio, and Ashley McKinley took photographs.
