London J18: protesters converged on the City of London and shut it down.  McDonald's and some other places got a makeover Bakunin style, and other companies were forced to shut down.  The cops turned up and started attacking people but were driven back repeatedly.  The most successful anti-capitalist protest in Britain to date.

Nigeria J18 - probably the only one bigger than Britain.  Workers invaded and tore down the offices of Shell in Nigeria, because shell are trashing the Niger Delta.

Eugene J18 - the biggest and most militant of the US events, featuring a [street party] which cops attacked, leading to some of the fiercest clashes anywhere.  Persecution is also worst in America.  One protester was victimised under the [Three Strikes] law and is still in jail.

Cologne J18 - pre-Seattle, and really the first of the big anti-summit protests - and the reason for all the rest.  Protesters besieged the summit in Cologne and tried to get past security cordons.

Pakistan J18 - anti-nuke protesters got into a nuclear base and got arrested and told they would be charged with treason (but they weren't).
