1499 — Swabian War
The Swabian War of 1499 (Alemannic German: Schwoobechrieg; spelling depending on dialect), called Schwabenkrieg or Schweizerkrieg ("Swiss War") in Germany and Engadiner Krieg ("War of the Engadin") in Austria, was the last major armed conflict between the Old Swiss Confederacy and the House of Habsburg. What had begun as a local conflict over the control of the Val Müstair and the Umbrail Pass in the Grisons soon got out of hand when both parties called upon their allies for help; the Habsburgs demanding the support of the Swabian League, while the Federation of the Three Leagues of the Grisons turned to the Swiss Eidgenossenschaft. Hostilities quickly spread from the Grisons through the Rhine valley to Lake Constance and even to the Sundgau in southern Alsace, the westernmost part of the Habsburg region of Further Austria. Many battles were fought from January to July 1499, and in all but a few minor skirmishes, the experienced Swiss soldiers defeated the Swabian and Habsburg armies. After their victories in the Burgundian Wars, the Swiss had battle tested troops and commanders. On the Swabian side, distrust between the knights and their foot soldiers, disagreements amongst the military leadership, and a general reluctance to fight a war that even the Swabian counts considered to be more in the interests of the powerful Habsburgs than in the interest of the Holy Roman Empire proved fatal handicaps. When his military high commander fell in the battle of Dornach, where the Swiss won a final decisive victory, Emperor Maximilian I had no choice but to agree to a peace treaty signed on September 22, 1499, in Basel.

1862 — Lincoln issues the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation
President Abraham Lincoln announced that enslaved people in areas still in rebellion against the United States would be declared free on January 1, 1863. This preliminary Emancipation Proclamation gave advance notice of a wartime measure and linked Union military policy more explicitly to emancipation. It did not immediately free every enslaved person, nor did the final proclamation apply equally to all states and territories. Its practical effect depended heavily on the advance of Union forces. Nevertheless, the announcement changed the political meaning of the Civil War and prepared the way for the final proclamation issued at the start of the following year.

1980 — Iran–Iraq War
The Iran–Iraq War was an armed conflict between Iran and Ba'athist Iraq lasting from September 1980 to August 1988. The Iran–Iraq War began when Iraq invaded Iran on 22 September 1980. It followed a long history of border disputes, and was motivated by fears that the Iranian Revolution in 1979 would inspire insurgency among Iraq's long-suppressed Shi'i majority, as well as Iraq's desire to replace Iran as the dominant Persian Gulf state. Although Iraq hoped to take advantage of Iran's revolutionary chaos and attacked without formal warning, it made only limited progress into Iran and was quickly repelled; Iran regained virtually all lost territory by June 1982.
