Battle of Đakovo The Battle of Đakovo ( or Valpovo ) ( ; , ) was a battle fought near Đakovo , present day Croatia , on 9 October 1537 , as part of the " Little War in Hungary " ( also called Austro - Turkish War ( 1526 – 1552 ) ) as well as the Hundred Years ' Croatian – Ottoman War . Battle . After seven years of war and the failed Siege of Vienna in 1529 , the Treaty of Constantinople was signed , in which John Szapolyai was recognized by the Austrians as King of Hungary as an Ottoman vassal , and the Ottomans recognized Habsburg rule over Royal Hungary . This treaty satisfied neither John Szapolyai nor Ferdinand I , Holy Roman Emperor , whose armies began to skirmish along the borders . Ferdinand decided to strike a decisive blow in 1537 at John , by sending an army of 24 , 000 men ( Austrians , Hungarians , Germans , Bohemians , Italians , Croats ) under command of Johann Katzianer to take Osijek , thereby violating the treaty . Very badly prepared , the siege came to nothing , and the starving allied army which operated in devastated territories , had to withdraw . They were pursued by an Ottoman relief army led by border commanders and attacked near Đakovo and Valpovo on the Drava river . Katzianer fled with the cavalry and abandoned his army to be annihilated . A reported 20 , 000 men were killed , including generals Ludwig Lodron and Pavle Bakić . This campaign was a disaster of similar magnitude to that of Mohács and therefore nicknamed " the Austrian Mohacs " . The news of the defeat came as a shock in Vienna and a new Treaty of Nagyvárad was signed in 1538 .

Thanks of Congress The Thanks of Congress are a series of formal resolutions passed by the United States Congress originally to extend the government ' s formal thanks for significant victories or impressive actions by American military commanders and their troops . Although it began during the American Revolutionary War , the practice peaked during the American Civil War . Similarly , the Confederate Congress also passed resolutions honoring extraordinary performance to individuals or military units . Early years . During the American Revolution , the official Thanks of Congress from the Continental Congress was often accompanied by a specially struck commemorative gold or silver medal . Among the recipients were George Washington , Horatio Gates , John Eager Howard , John Stark , Baron von Steuben , and Henry Lee " ( See also List of Congressional Gold Medal recipients ) " . Other recipients in the early years of the United States include all participants in the Battle of Tippecanoe ( 1811 ) , Alexander Macomb ( War of 1812 ) ( 1814 ) , Charles Gratiot in the same war , and Andrew Jackson ( epilogue to the War of 1812 ) ( 1815 ) , William Henry Harrison ( 1818 ) and Zachary Taylor ( 1847 ) . American Civil War . During the American Civil War , the Thanks of Congress were joint resolutions of Congress which were published in the Statutes at Large to honor officers from late 1861 through May 1866 for significant victories or impressive actions . A total of thirty officers were named in these acts during the war , fifteen in the Union Army and fifteen in the Union Navy . Two naval officers were immediately promoted after receiving the award , John L . Worden of the and William B . Cushing . Because the Thanks of Congress was only awarded to officers , the Medal of Honor was created at this time to honor soldiers in the Army , and over 1500 men received the medal by the end of the war . Only one officer , General Ulysses S . Grant , received both the Thanks of Congress and a Congressional Gold Medal during the Civil War . The first citation during the American Civil War recognized " the gallant and patriotic services of the late Brig . Gen .

AEC Armoured Command Vehicle AEC Armoured Command Vehicle was a series of command vehicles built by the British Associated Equipment Company during the Second World War . History . During World War II the United Kingdom was the only country to develop and widely employ purpose - built armoured command vehicles . Those were essentially armoured buses based on truck chassis . The most common ACV of the British Army was the AEC 4x4 ACV . The vehicle , based on AEC Matador chassis , entered production in 1941 . A total of about 415 units were built . The vehicle was used for the first time in the North African Campaign and remained in service until the end of the war . Big and comfortable , it was nicknamed " Dorchester " by the troops , after the luxury hotel in London . Three ACVs of this type were captured by the German Afrika Korps .

ZEEP The ZEEP ( Zero Energy Experimental Pile ) reactor was a nuclear reactor built at the Chalk River Laboratories near Chalk River , Ontario , Canada ( which superseded the Montreal Laboratory for nuclear research in Canada ) . ZEEP first went critical at 3 : 45 PM , September 5 , 1945 . ZEEP ' s main international significance is its status as the first operational nuclear reactor outside of the United States . The reactor was designed by Canadian , British and French scientists as a part of an effort to produce plutonium for nuclear weapons during World War II . It was developed while the Montreal Laboratory and Chalk River Laboratories research facility were under the supervision of the National Research Council of Canada ( NRC ) . ZEEP was instrumental in the development of the NRX and NRU reactors , which led to the development of the successful CANDU reactor . ZEEP was used to test reactivity effects and other physics parameters needed for reactor development at Chalk River Laboratories , including fuel lattices for the NRU reactor situated next door . ZEEP was one of the world ' s first heavy water reactor s , and it was also designed to use natural ( unenriched ) uranium ; a feature carried through to the CANDU design . Uranium enrichment is a complex and expensive process ; thus , the ability to use unenriched uranium gave ZEEP and its descendants a number of distinct advantages . ZEEP continued to be used for basic research until 1970 . It was decommissioned in 1973 and dismantled in 1997 . In 1966 ZEEP was designated a historic site by Ontario , and commemorated with an historic plaque . Both this plaque and ZEEP itself are now on display at the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa , Canada .

Zimbabwe People ' s Revolutionary Army Zimbabwe People ' s Revolutionary Army ( ZIPRA ) was the armed wing of the Zimbabwe African People ' s Union , a Marxist – Leninist political party in Rhodesia . It participated in the Rhodesian Bush War against the Rhodesian government . ZIPRA was formed during the 1960s by the nationalist leader Jason Moyo , the deputy of Joshua Nkomo . Operations . Because ZAPU ' s political strategy relied more heavily on negotiations than armed force , ZIPRA developed as elaborately training both regular soldiers and guerrilla fighters , although by 1979 it had an estimated 20 , 000 combatants , based in camps around Lusaka , Zambia and at the front . ZIPRA ' s crossing points into Zimbabwe were at Feira in Zambia opposite Mashonaland East and west . For example , the operational boundary was Sipolilo where ZIPRA , Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army ( ZANLA ) and Rhodesian forces clashed . ZIPRA operated alone in Mashonaland west . There was no ZANLA combatants in that area until the later stages of the war . Beside the overall political ideologies , the main differences between ZIPRA and ZANLA were that : ZIPRA was in formal alliance with Umkhonto we Sizwe ( MK ) the ANC ' s militant wing . ZIPRA and MK mounted a celebrated ( if militarily unsuccessful ) mission in Southern Rhodesia in the mid - 1960s . In 1978 and 1979 ZIPRA downed two civilian passenger planes of Air Rhodesia , killing a total of 102 passengers and crew . Air Rhodesia Flight 825 . Air Rhodesia Flight 825 was a scheduled flight from Kariba to Salisbury that was shot down on 3 September 1978 by ZIPRA guerrillas using an SA - 7 surface - to - air missile . Eighteen of the fifty - six passengers survived the crash , with most of these having been seated in the rear . Five of the survivors went to a local village to ask for water . However upon returning , they heard African voices and automatic gunfire — ZIPRA guerrillas killed 10 of the survivors still at the aircraft before looting it . Three crash survivors who remained at the aircraft managed to avoid being killed by running away and hiding in the bush .
