I´ve read about Trenton, which I missed by one day. Anyway, some other interesting stuff happened.

- 1862 Union General W. Rosecrans´ army begins moving slowly toward Murfreesboro, Tennessee, from Nashville.
- 1941 Japanese bombers attack Manila.
- 1944 General G. S. Patton’s Third Army, spearheaded by the 4th Armored Division, relieves the surrounded city of Bastogne.
- 1979 President Hafizullah Amin of Afghanistan is ousted and murdered in a coup backed by the Soviet Union, beginning a war that will last more than 10 years.
- 1996 Taliban forces retake strategic Bagram Airfield during Afghan civil war.
