Admittedly, my questions were flawed due to improper wording.
I leave the floor open.

1) A public event in which heretics and apostates were condemned during the Spanish Inquisition. What is the name of this event?
2) I am a Roman Emperor who battled in campaigns in both Judea and Britain and gained most of my support from the middle eastern territories and the army. I began a dynasty which would last nearly 25 years, and by my ascension I ended a dynasty that ruled for over 80 years. Who am I?

2) Vespasian

You still have to answer my questions first!
Isn't Lettow- Vorbeck the answer for your third question as well? 25 November 1918, German East-Africa, I would say. At least I'm not aware of any other German forces that gave up after the armistice of 11 November.
However I have no idea about your first question, despite having read some Venetian history last year.
"Pompeius, after having finished the war against Mithridates, when he went to call at the house of Poseidonios, the famous teacher of philosophy, forbade the lictor to knock at the door, as was the usual custom, and he, to whom both the eastern and the western world had yielded submission, ordered the fasces to be lowered before the door of science."
Pliny the Elder, Naturalis Historia, 7, 112
