Real Historical Event... or Fake?

Try to figure out if the clue is the name of a real historical event or a made-up name!
Names are in English (or they're fake words). If the clue has a fake word that's somehow the name of a real event in a different language (I find this unlikely, but still), please answer based on English and don't nitpick.
The time is short to try to keep you from Googling all the answers!
