Battle of Rarańcza The Battle of Rarańcza was fought between Polish Legionnaires , and Austria - Hungary , from February 15 to 16 , 1918 , near Rarańcza ( Redkovtsy ) in Bukovina , and ended with a Polish victory . Background . The Brest - Litovsk Treaty , which was being negotiated on February 9 , 1918 , did not appear to benefit the idea of a nation state for Poland . This treaty , signed between the Central Powers ( including Austria - Hungary ) and the Ukrainian Soviet Republic on February 9 , 1918 , transferred the province of Chełm to the Ukrainian state . Poles , meanwhile , believed that the town of Chełm and surrounding lands should be under Polish control . The Polish forces , part of the Austro - Hungarian Army stationed on the border of Bessarabia , were increasingly restless . They were relatively spread out throughout the region over a frontline 250 km in length . They consisted of the Polish Auxiliary Corps ( known as the II Brigade of Polish Legionnaires up till the recent oath crisis ) , as well as some additional Polish units . The Poles , having received the information about the treaty on February 12 , and expecting , in the aftermath of the treaty further weakening of the Polish units , decided on the February 14 to join forces with the Polish First Army Corps in Russia by crossing the Austrian - Russian front line s . Only a few , including general Michał Zieliński , proposed taking no action , however even Zieliński unofficially supported the mutiny . Battle . Polish units , mostly the 2nd and 3rd Regiment under the command of Józef Haller de Hallenburg , attempted to break through the Austrian lines on February 15 to 16 , 1918 . Austrian forces were ordered to stop them , and fighting ensued in several places ( while in others Austrian units withdrew ) . The main Polish units broke through the Austro - Hungarian Army near a town called Rarańcza , located in Bukovina , but the rear units with wagons were stopped by an armored train , and eventually disarmed and arrested . Aftermath . The Legionnaires won the battle , but estimates of their losses vary : according to historian Jerzy Lerski they suffered " great losses " , but Gawlik states there were only 16 casualties , while over 900 soldiers of the Auxiliary Corps and other Polish soldiers from other formations - about 4 , 000 total - were arrested ) . 86 officers and NCOs were later put to trial by the Austro - Hungarian government , but Charles I of Austro - Hungary ordered the trial to be stopped , and a few weeks later Austro - Hungary was no more . Some ( according to Gawlik , about 1 , 600 ) of Hallenburg ' s troops were able to make it through the front lines into already abandoned Russian trenches , and on March 5 were absorbed into the Polish Second Corps , whilst many were captured and imprisoned by the Austrians . The remaining troops under general Hallenburg would be defeated in May by the Germans in the battle of Kaniów .
Timeline of the Spanish American wars of independence This is a timeline of events related to the Spanish American wars of independence . Numerous wars against Spanish rule in Spanish America took place during the early 19th century , from 1808 until 1829 , directly related to the Napoleonic French invasion of Spain . The conflict started with short - lived governing junta s established in Chuquisaca and Quito opposing the composition of the Supreme Central Junta of Seville . When the Central Junta fell to the French , numerous new Juntas appeared all across the Americas , eventually resulting in a chain of newly independent countries stretching from Argentina and Chile in the south , to Mexico in the north . After the death of the king Ferdinand VII , in 1833 , only Cuba and Puerto Rico remained under Spanish rule , until the Spanish – American War in 1898 . These conflicts can be characterized both as civil war s and wars of national liberation , since the majority of the combatants were Spanish Americans on both sides , and the goal of the conflict for one side was the independence of the Spanish colonies in the Americas . In addition , the wars were related to the more general Latin American wars of independence , which include the conflicts in Haiti and Brazil ( Brazil ' s independence shared a common starting point with Spanish America ' s , since both were triggered by Napoleon ' s invasion of the Iberian Peninsula , when the Portuguese royal family resettled in Brazil ) . The war in Europe , and the resulting absolutist restoration ultimately convinced the Spanish Americans of the need to establish independence from the mother country , so various revolutions broke out in Spanish America . Moreover , the process of Latin American independence took place in the general political and intellectual climate that emerged from the Age of Enlightenment and that influenced all of the so - called Atlantic Revolutions , including the earlier revolutions in the United States and France . Nevertheless , the wars in , and the independence of , Spanish America were the result of unique developments within the Spanish Monarchy .

Hannover CL . II The Hannover CL . II was an escort fighter , produced in Germany during World War I , designed in response to a 1917 requirement by the " Idflieg " for such a machine to protect reconnaissance aircraft over enemy territory . It was a compact biplane of largely conventional configuration with single - bay staggered wings of unequal span . The fuselage was a thin plywood paneled , wooden monocoque design , very similar to the style of fuselage in Robert Thelen ' s Albatros series of single - seat fighters . The main units of the fixed tailskid undercarriage were linked by a cross - axle , and the pilot and tail gunner sat in tandem , open cockpits , with the gunner ' s cockpit elevated above the line of the upper fuselage to afford him a greater field of fire . For the same purpose , the aircraft featured an unusually compact empennage , with a short fin and a biplane tail unit that allowed the rear gunner to have a larger field of aftwards fire when defending the aircraft . Smaller than the usual C - class reconnaissance aircraft , it was easy for enemy pilots to mistake it for a single - seat fighter ; a mistake that would bring them into the line of fire of the tail gun when closing from astern .

It however crashed during a public flight on August 23 , 1919 in Warsaw , due to faulty bracing wires , killing its constructor Karol Słowik .
