Muhammad Ali refuses to be drafted into the Army during the Vietnam War, citing race issues in the US and his religious beliefs. The protest will lead to his arrest and suspension of his boxing license for several years, putting Ali in the spotlight as a controversial figure and civil rights icon instead of in the boxing ring for a time.

Baldwin IX, Count of Flanders is crowned the first Emperor of the Latin Empire. The Latin Empire was a crusader state established following the fourth crusade in the former territory of the Byzantine Empire after Constantinople was sacked, primarily by crusaders from Venice. While Byzantium would eventually recover its Greek territory, the Empire was severely weakened by this atrocity and Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Empire in 1453.
If I could spit on the entire city of Venice, I would. Roma Invicta.
