1137 — Battle of Rignano
The Battle of Rignano was the second great defeat of the career of Roger II of Sicily and, like the first, the Battle of Nocera, it too came at the hands of Ranulf II, Count of Alife. The prime difference was the position of the two combatants. At Nocera on 24 July 1132, Ranulf was allied with Robert II of Capua and Sergius VII of Naples and he was a mere rebel, fighting the king of Sicily.

The Battle of Ladysmith was one of the early engagements of the Second Boer War. A large British force which had concentrated at the garrison town of Ladysmith launched a sortie on 30 October 1899, against Boer armies which were slowly surrounding the town. The result was a disaster for the British. The main body was driven back into the town, and an isolated detachment of 800 men was forced to surrender to Commandant De Wet. The Boers did not follow up their advantage by proceeding towards the strategically important port of Durban, and instead began a Siege of Ladysmith, which was relieved after 118 days.

The Battle of Pozzuolo was fought during the First World War between 29 and 30 October 1917, between two brigades of the Italian army and two divisions of the German Army and one division of the Austro-Hungarian Army at Pozzuolo del Friuli. The stand by the two Italian brigades allowed the majority of the Italian III Army to escape before the Austro-Hungarian and German troops were able to cut the retreat routes after the disastrous Battle of Caporetto. While the two brigades were destroyed by the far larger German and Austro-Hungarian divisions, the Third Italian Army managed to cross the Tagliamento River and re-organize at the Piave river, where the enemy's advance was finally halted.

1995 — 1995 Quebec referendum
The 1995 Quebec referendum was the second referendum to ask voters in the predominantly French-speaking Canadian province of Quebec whether Quebec should proclaim sovereignty and become an independent country, with the condition precedent of offering a political and economic agreement to Canada. The culmination of multiple years of debate and planning after the failure of the Meech Lake and Charlottetown constitutional accords, the referendum was launched by the provincial Parti Québécois government of Jacques Parizeau. Despite initial predictions of a heavy sovereignist defeat, an eventful and complex campaign followed, with the "Yes" side flourishing after being taken over by Bloc Québécois leader Lucien Bouchard. Voting took place on 30 October 1995, and featured the largest voter turnout in Quebec's history (93.52%).
