Lib beat me to it, but the Battle of Waterloo was in 1815, not 1812!

On this day in 1812, however, the War of 1812 began.

That was strong American leadership as much as the UN. Also some dumb luck: The only reason the UN acted at all is that the Soviet ambassador had walked out earlier to protest something unrelated and was not present to veto the decision.
