Confederates fired on Ft. Sumter.
The war between the Union and the Confederacy, known as the American Civil War, was triggered by the attack on Fort Sumter in South Carolina on April 12, 1861. This event followed the secession of several Southern states from the Union, driven by issues such as states' rights and slavery. The Confederate forces fired upon the federal fort, marking the beginning of armed conflict and leading to the full-scale war between the North and South.
At Ft. Sumter, Confederates surrounded Union ships. Union was low on supplies, so Lincoln sent a supply ship. Confederates opened fire. 33 hours later, Union armies surrendered. Confederate's victory, and the Civil War began.

On October 16, 1859 John Brown and 21 followers arrived at Harpers Ferry. Brown had killed slavery supporters in the Kansas Territory, and then he wanted to spark a slave revolt in Virginia. Brown and his men attacked and captured the federal arsenal, where the weapons were stored. They took hostages, but no slaves came to join the revolt. United States Marines led by Colonel Robert E. Lee rushed to Harpers Ferry to capture John Brown, put him on trial and execute him. The South (Confederacy) were shocked by his violent acts. His raid started the tension between the North (Union) and the South (Confederacy). Later, many white Southerners blamed the North for Brown's acts. That is the first event that triggered the Civil War.

The breakup of the Soviet Union was primarily triggered by the failed coup attempt in August 1991, when hardline communists tried to seize control from Mikhail Gorbachev. This event weakened the central authority of the USSR and spurred nationalist movements within various republics. Following the coup's failure, republics like Ukraine and Belarus declared independence, leading to the formal dissolution of the Soviet Union on December 26, 1991. The combination of economic instability, political reform, and rising nationalism ultimately catalyzed the collapse.
