October 19, a big day in history, especially for momentous military decisions and results:
202 B.C.: The Battle of Zama. Fought in Africa, where Scipio Africanus had launched an assault to pull Hannibal from continuing the wreaking of havoc on the Italian countryside. The Battle of Zama resulted in a decisive victory of Rome, the defeat of Hannibal, the surrender of Carthage, and the end of the Second Punic War. From this piont onward, Rome is the unrivaled supreme power of the Mediterranean for the next several centuries. 1469: Ferdinand II of Aragorn marries Isabella of Castille, paving the way for the creation of modern Spain. 1781: Lord Cornwallis surrenders to a Franco-American force at Yorktown, effectively signalling the end of Britain's efforts to put down the American rebellion and paving the way to American Independence. 1812: Napoleon I Bonaparte of France begins his retreat from in front of Moscow, Russia. Having commenced the assault on Russia on June 22, 1812, with 650,000 front line troops, attrition by disease, desertion and casualties from numerous small battles (the Russians refused to offer a decisive engagement) resulted in the Grand Armee crossing the Berezina River in November to escape with fewer than 40,000 men. 1873: Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Rutgers draft the first code of rules for American football.
