    The Incident at Xuanwu Gate? I'm not sure but the art work reminds me of an article I read about this incident. Couldn't find the picture in relation to said incident tho so it's a longshot.

    Yeah, that one time Tang Taizong killed his brothers to ensure he would become Emperor. Strange that this is almost never brought up in relation to Tang Taizong.

    I see EU flag and several EU member states flags, not quite sure which event it is, however, I also see the word Maastricht written, therefore I'd guess the signing of the Maastricht Treaty in 1992.

    At first, I mistook it for an episode of Russian interventionism in Mongolia, but then I noticed the Potala Palace in the background. The image depicts the diplomatic negotiations between the British and the Tibetans in Lhasa, following the victorious expedition of the former during late 1903-1904.

    Assassination attempt on Alfonso XIII of Spain (flag on the carriage told me Spain, crowd attire told me late late 19th or early 20th Centuries), I just needed to google the king.

    Correct, your turn! It was a very deadly attack, but the royal couple survived unharmed.

    First Chechnya war, event you're looking for I suppose is the de facto independence of Chechnya from the Russian Federation?

    Although I was looking for a specific battle/event. Very unpopular in their history which arguably contributed to the second conflict.
