1962 - The Cuban Missile Crisis "... October 22: General Interest
1962: Cuban Missile Crisis
In a televised speech of extraordinary gravity, President John F.
Kennedy announces that U.S. spy planes have discovered Soviet missile
bases in Cuba. These missile sites-under construction but nearing
completion-housed medium-range missiles capable of striking a number of
major cities in the United States, including Washington, D.C. Kennedy
announced that he was ordering a naval "quarantine" of Cuba to prevent
Soviet ships from transporting any more offensive weapons to the island
and explained that the United States would not tolerate the existence of
the missile sites currently in place. The president made it clear that
America would not stop short of military action to end what he
called a "clandestine, reckless, and provocative threat to world
peace."
What is known as the Cuban Missile Crisis actually began on October 15,
1962-the day that U.S. intelligence personnel analyzing U-2 spy plane
data discovered that the Soviets were building medium-range missile
sites in Cuba. The next day, President Kennedy secretly convened an
emergency meeting of his senior military, political, and diplomatic
advisers to discuss the ominous development. The group became known as
ExCom, short for Executive Committee. After rejecting a surgical air
strike against the missile sites, ExCom decided on a naval quarantine
and a demand that the bases be dismantled and missiles removed. On the
night of October 22, Kennedy went on national television to announce his
decision. During the next six days, the crisis escalated to a breaking
point as the world tottered on the brink of nuclear war between the two
superpowers.
On October 23, the quarantine of Cuba began, but Kennedy decided to give
Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev more time to consider the U.S. action
by pulling the quarantine line back 500 miles. By October 24, Soviet
ships en route to Cuba capable of carrying military cargoes appeared to
have slowed down, altered, or reversed their course as they approached
the quarantine, with the exception of one ship-the tanker Bucharest. At
the request of more than 40 nonaligned nations, U.N. Secretary-General U
Thant sent private appeals to Kennedy and Khrushchev, urging that their
governments "refrain from any action that may aggravate the situation
and bring with it the risk of war." At the direction of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, U.S. military forces went to DEFCON 2, the
highest military alert ever reached in the postwar era, as military
commanders prepared for full-scale war with the Soviet Union...." http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history

1642 – Battle of Edgehill: First major battle of the First English Civil War.
The Battle of Edgehill (or Edge Hill) was the first pitched battle of the First English Civil War. It was fought near Edge Hill and Kineton in southern Warwickshire on Sunday, 23 October 1642. All attempts at constitutional compromise between King Charles and Parliament broke down early in 1642. Both King and Parliament raised large armies to gain their way by force of arms. In October, at his temporary base near Shrewsbury, King Charles decided to march on London in order to force a decisive confrontation with Parliament's main army, commanded by the Earl of Essex. Late on 22 October, both armies unexpectedly found the enemy to be close by. The next day, the Royalist army descended from Edge Hill to force battle. After the Parliamentary artillery opened a cannonade, the Royalists attacked. Both armies consisted mostly of inexperienced and sometimes ill-equipped troops. Many men from both sides fled or fell out to loot enemy baggage, and neither army was able to gain a decisive advantage. After the battle, King Charles resumed his march on London, but was not strong enough to overcome the defending militia before Essex's army could reinforce them. The inconclusive result of the Battle of Edgehill prevented either faction gaining a quick victory in the war, which eventually lasted four years. | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Edgehill

Nov 1st 1512 "...
The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome, one of Italian
artist Michelangelo's finest works, is exhibited to the public for the
first time.
Michelangelo Buonarroti, the greatest of the Italian Renaissance
artists, was born in the small village of Caprese in 1475. The son of a
government administrator, he grew up in Florence, a center of the early
Renaissance movement, and became an artist's apprentice at age 13.
Demonstrating obvious talent, he was taken under the wing of Lorenzo de' Medici,
the ruler of the Florentine republic and a great patron of the arts.
After demonstrating his mastery of sculpture in such works as the Pieta (1498) and David (1504), he was called to Rome in 1508 to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel—the chief consecrated space in the Vatican.
Michelangelo's epic ceiling frescoes, which took several years to
complete, are among his most memorable works. Central in a complex
system of decoration featuring numerous figures are nine panels devoted
to biblical world history. The most famous of these is The Creation of Adam, a painting in which the arms of God and Adam are stretching toward each other. In 1512, Michelangelo completed the work.
After 15 years as an architect in Florence, Michelangelo returned to
Rome in 1534, where he would work and live for the rest of his life.
That year saw his painting of the The Last Judgment on the wall
above the altar in the Sistine Chapel for Pope Paul III. The massive
painting depicts Christ's damnation of sinners and blessing of the
virtuous and is regarded as a masterpiece of early Mannerism.
Michelangelo worked until his death in 1564 at the age of 88. In
addition to his major artistic works, he produced numerous other
sculptures, frescoes, architectural designs, and drawings, many of which
are unfinished and some of which are lost. In his lifetime, he was
celebrated as Europe's greatest living artist, and today he is held up
as one of the greatest artists of all time, as exalted in the visual
arts as William Shakespeare is in literature or Ludwig van Beethoven is
in music...."http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/sistine-chapel-ceiling-opens-to-public

Nov 1st 1765 "...
In the face of widespread opposition in the American colonies, Parliament enacts the Stamp Act, a taxation measure designed to raise revenue for British military operations in America.
Defense of the American colonies in the French and Indian War
(1754-63) and Pontiac's Rebellion (1763-64) were costly affairs for
Great Britain, and Prime Minister George Grenville hoped to recover some
of these costs by taxing the colonists. In 1764, the Sugar Act was
enacted, putting a high duty on refined sugar. Although resented, the
Sugar Act tax was hidden in the cost of import duties, and most
colonists accepted it. The Stamp Act, however, was a direct tax on the
colonists and led to an uproar in America over an issue that was to be a
major cause of the Revolution: taxation without representation.
Passed without debate by Parliament in March 1765, the Stamp Act was
designed to force colonists to use special stamped paper in the printing
of newspapers, pamphlets, almanacs, and playing cards, and to have a
stamp embossed on all commercial and legal papers. The stamp itself
displayed an image of a Tudor rose framed by the word "America" and the
French phrase Honi soit qui mal y pense—"Shame to him who thinks evil of it."
Outrage was immediate. Massachusetts politician Samuel Adams organized the secret Sons of Liberty organization to plan protests against the measure, and the Virginia
legislature and other colonial assemblies passed resolutions opposing
the act. In October, nine colonies sent representatives to New York
to attend a Stamp Act Congress, where resolutions of "rights and
grievances" were framed and sent to Parliament and King George III.
Despite this opposition, the Stamp Act was enacted on November 1, 1765...."http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/parliament-enacts-the-stamp-act
