20 October 2011 was a Thursday. In the Gregorian calendar it is the 293rd day of the year, and it sits within late 2011 in the autumn season for the Northern Hemisphere.

In world affairs, the ongoing European sovereign debt crisis formed a backdrop to political and financial reporting in October 2011. Governments and international institutions discussed measures to address Greece’s debt and broader euro-area instability, influencing markets and policy debates around that period.

Social movements active at the time included the Occupy movement, with protests and encampments in multiple cities worldwide. The protests focused on economic inequality, financial regulation, and political accountability, contributing to global news coverage during October 2011.

In sports, the 2011 World Series, the championship series of Major League Baseball, was taking place in October 2011, with games scheduled around 20 October as teams competed for the title. The event drew international attention and reflected the broader cultural moment of the season.

As a calendar date, 20 October 2011 does not have a single universally defining event. Rather, it sits within a convergence of political, economic, social, and cultural happenings that characterized late 2011 and are recorded in historical timelines for that period.
