Europe 28 years ago today: Baltic Independence (06 Sep 1991) https://buff.ly/2MYhgqi The first Soviet republics to break away were the Baltic states, whose 1940 annexation by the Soviet Union had never been recognized by the West.

North America 173 years ago today: Conquest of California & New Mexico (18 Aug 1846) https://buff.ly/33FVc8V At the outbreak of the Mexican-American War, the US had sent a cavalry force to cross the continent and a naval squadron into the Pacific, intending both forces to meet in the Mexican territory of Alta California.
