The Great Trek of Afrikaners—descendants of Dutch settlers in Capetown in South Africa—begins as they move northward, escaping British rule.
A rebellion of Texans against Mexico, which had abolished slavery in 1829, results in the declaration of the Republic of Texas. A defending American force is attacked and slaughtered at the Alamo (23 February to 6 March); the Americans revenge this loss by defeating the Mexicans at the Battle of San Jacinto (21 April).
