Romulus Augustulus, last Roman Emperor in the West, abdicates the throne after forces led by Odoacer invade Rome. Flavius Odoacer becomes the first king of Italy after leading a successful rebellion against Western Rome's young emperor. The beginning of his reign will traditionally mark the end of the Ancient Roman epoch and the start of the Middle Ages.

Robert E. Lee's Confederate army invades Maryland, starting the Antietam Campaign. It will eventually result in the Battle of Antietam, 13 days later, the bloodiest battle in history on American soil at that point.

Apache leader Goyalkla, or as he's known to non-Native Americans, Geronimo, formally surrenders after the US Army 4th Cavalry relentlessly pursues him and his band of warriors throughout southern Arizona. For 30 years, the mighty Native American warrior had battled to protect his tribe’s homeland; however, by 1886 the Apaches were exhausted and hopelessly outnumbered. General Nelson Miles accepted Geronimo’s surrender, making him the last Native American warrior to formally give in to U.S. forces and signaling the end of the Indian Wars in the Southwest.
1941
German submarine U-652 fires at the U.S. destroyer Greer patrolling off Iceland. At this point there was no decleration of war between Germany and USA. President Roosevelt would later cite the incident as the catalyst for the "shoot-on-sight" policy US Naval vessels would follow until the formal declaration of war in December, after Pearl Harbor. It would later be known the the Greer had chased the sub and held contact with the sub for 3 hours and 28 minutes before the sub fired its first torpedo. The definition of "attack" is "an onset, an aggressive initiation of combat, a move which is the antithesis of 'defense.'" In that definition, the USS Greer had attacked the German submarine.
1998
