	Battle of Yungay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Andrés de Santa Cruz, who was in charge of the Confederate Army, attempted to pursue the invaders and, after a favorable battle in the Buin River, was trying to finish quickly with the Chilean troops in order to stabilize the internal situation in the country and to avoid any more uprisings against him.
		While the army of the Confederate Protector was made up of veterans of internal battles and was supported by the population, besides counting on adequate supplies provided by the vicinity, the Chilean Army met with the antipathy of the inhabitants and was on the run, with part of the troops ill and little prepared.
		The Battle of Yungay brought as a consequence the end of the Peru-Bolivian Confederacy, the cessation of Santa Cruz' influence in Bolivia - in spite of up to six subsequent uprisings in his name in Bolivia - and the restoration of both nationsas separate, as was the intention of the Recovery Expedition.

	Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands was a naval battle of World War II, one of several episodes in the Solomon Islands campaign.
		Fought on 26 October 1942, the Japanese won a tactical victory by crippling the aircraft carrier USS Hornet and forcing the remaining US ships to retreat, but they did not achieve their strategic goal of dislodging the US Marines from Guadalcanal.
		The Americans retreated eastwards to get air cover from the land bases in the New Hebrides but the Japanese, still cautious because of their defeat at Midway, failed to pursue the American fleet and lost the opportunity to sink or damage Enterprise.

	The Guadalcanal Campaign (David Llewellyn James)
		The Battle of Cape Esperance did nothing, however, to discourage the Japanese effort to evict the Marines from Guadalcanal, and the ground fighting was to reach its climax between October 14th.
		When the main carrier battle was joined the Japanese carrier Shokaku was so badly damaged that she was to be out of action for nine months, but the Japanese strike on the US carriers then overwhelmed the fighter defences, and both Hornet and Enterprise were hit.
		After the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal the Japanese command lost confidence in their ability to retake the island and began to think in terms of developing New Georgia, to the north of Guadalcanal, as a bastion to thwart the American advance in the Solomons.

	SANTA CRUZ / Battle at the boardwalk / Beach town debates replacing hotel to bring in more revenue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Santa Cruz has a reputation for defying expectations, and one quirk that baffles visitors is that this tourist-laden beach town has just one large hotel -- and it is hideous.
		Squatting at the foot of the municipal wharf a short walk in the sand from the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, the 1960s-era Coast Hotel resembles a Soviet apartment block, radiating bleakness in spite of new awnings and puce-tinted paint.
		Santa Cruz officials have searched for decades for ways to extract more tax revenue from the 3 million to 4 million visitors who descend on the main beach area every year, clogging streets and monopolizing city resources, but contributing little to the city budget.

	Battle of Santa Cruz
		If this had been the historical battle, it would be called "The Second Battle of the Coral Sea," not "The Battle of Santa Cruz," because the action was entirely in the Coral Sea.
		Spies reading British papers, on the other hand, read the Victorious had been sunk, despite her resistance of her deck to the large number of dive bombers allocated to her in the belief that she was just another American carrier.
		Pointwise, therefore, Santa Cruz was a victory of the Japanese--we got 81 points to the Americans' 74, though of course we are still far behind in total points, 269 to 341.5.

	The Naval Battle of Guadalcanal (I), 12th/13th November, 1942
		However, by the time of the Battle of Santa Cruz, little of this damage remained and fighting spirits were high again.
		The last loss of the battle was also one of the most shocking examples of the deadliness of the calm, blue expanses of the Pacific Ocean.
		The battle in its form probably was the only way to stop the Japanese, disrupting their formation and providing, with close-range 203mm fire, the only way to pierce the battleships' armor.

	The Battle of Santa Cruz, October 25th, 1942
		In a battle lasting three days and nights, the Sendai Division hurled itself into the southern side of the U.S. perimeter, while IJN forces moved into support range to Guadalcanal's north, expecting the battle to be successful and hoping for a crack at the elusive U.S. Navy forces.
		Enterprise's fire-control radar failed her; and it was the naked eyes of her topside lookouts that caught the first glimpse of the shiny-gray dive bombers that came hurtling through an empty sky devoid of anti-aircraft fire, at 1015.
		The rapier that Evans and Peattie pointed the IJNAF out to be, the brittle weapon of a range fighter, had been thrust against the hardened steel of the USN and had shattered, leaving the IJN with but a dagger.
