The is a family of medium-speed, two-stroke diesel engines developed and manufactured by ' Electro-Motive Division (EMD), with production spanning from 1938 to the early 1960s. Introduced as a successor to Winton's , it featured uniflow scavenging via Roots-type blowers and was offered in V6, V8, V12, and V16 configurations, delivering power outputs from 600 to 2,750 horsepower depending on the model and application. The engine's robust design and high reliability propelled EMD's dominance in the North American locomotive market, powering iconic diesel-electric models like the FT freight demonstrator set—which logged over 100,000 miles in promotional service during 1939—and subsequent F-series units that accelerated the industry's shift from steam to diesel traction by demonstrating superior fuel efficiency, lower maintenance costs, and consistent performance in heavy-haul operations. Over its production run, the 567 series equipped tens of thousands of locomotives, systems, and stationary generators, fundamentally reshaping railroading economics and operations while influencing later EMD designs like the 645 series.

Events

Europe

In 567, the Lombards, under King Alboin and allied with the Avar khaganate, decisively defeated the Gepids in the Battle of Sirmium, leading to the destruction of the Gepid Kingdom in the Pannonian Basin and facilitating Lombard expansion westward. This victory displaced the Gepids, who had controlled much of modern Romania and Serbia, and positioned the Lombards to vacate Pannonia for Italy the following year amid pressures from Avar dominance. By that year, the Avars had consolidated control over the Hungarian plain after subjugating local Slavic and Germanic groups, establishing a khaganate that extended influence into the and threatened Byzantine frontiers in the region. In the Frankish Merovingian kingdoms, , king of and much of western , died without a surviving male heir on an unspecified date in 567, prompting the redistribution of his territories among surviving brothers: annexed and , while and received portions of and other lands, exacerbating chronic divisions within the realm. This event underscored the instability of partible inheritance under Salic custom, contributing to ongoing internecine conflicts among the brothers. Meanwhile, in the Iberian Peninsula, Visigothic forces under King Leovigild began reconquering Byzantine-held territories in western Spain, reversing earlier Justinianic gains and consolidating Gothic authority amid weakening Eastern Roman defenses post-plague and Lombard threats elsewhere.

Asia

In 567, the Hephthalite Empire, which had dominated much of Central Asia including regions of modern-day Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan, was decisively defeated by a military alliance between the Sasanian Empire under Khosrow I and the Western Göktürk Khaganate led by Ishbara Qaghan. This campaign, building on diplomatic ties forged around 557, involved coordinated attacks from the west and north, culminating in the collapse of Hephthalite power after prolonged warfare that fragmented their nomadic confederation. The Sasanians subsequently incorporated Bactria and surrounding territories into their realm, securing eastern frontiers and tribute routes, while the Göktürks expanded influence over Sogdiana and the Tarim Basin, reshaping power dynamics across the Eurasian steppes. The Hephthalites' downfall ended their role as a buffer state and trade disruptor, facilitating renewed Silk Road commerce under Sasanian and Turkic oversight, though remnant Hephthalite principalities persisted in isolated enclaves like Chaghaniyan until later absorption. In East Asia, the Northern Zhou dynasty under Emperor Wu (r. 561–578) pursued expansionist policies amid the Northern and Southern Dynasties' fragmentation, launching probes against the southern Chen dynasty following internal Chen succession struggles after Emperor Wen's death in 566. These efforts, including alliances with the rump Western Liang state, aimed to exploit Chen's vulnerabilities but yielded limited territorial gains by year's end, as Northern Zhou prioritized consolidation against northern rivals like Northern Qi.

Religion

In the Frankish kingdom, the Second Council of Tours convened, issuing canons that enforced clerical celibacy by decreeing excommunication for any priest found cohabiting with his wife and extended the liturgical observance of Christmas through Epiphany as a unified festive period. In the Byzantine Empire, John III Scholasticus, Patriarch of Constantinople since 561, pursued ecclesiastical reconciliation by organizing a compromise between Chalcedonian orthodox Christians and Monophysites, aiming to bridge doctrinal divides over Christ's nature amid ongoing theological tensions. In , under the dynasty, former Buddhist monk Wei Yuansong submitted a memorial to Emperor Wu (r. 561–578) urging the abolition of , arguing it drained resources through excessive temple wealth and monastic exemptions from labor and taxation, thereby initiating debates that foreshadowed the dynasty's later suppression of the in 574.

Births

Saint Fursey, an Irish monk and missionary known for establishing monasteries in and northern , is traditionally dated to have been born circa 567 in or near , , to a noble family; he died around 650 after visions of the afterlife and evangelistic work praised by contemporaries like . Historical records from this era rarely specify exact birth years for individuals outside imperial or royal lineages, and no other prominent figures are verifiably attested as born in 567. Primary sources such as Bede's Ecclesiastical History document Fursey's activities from the 630s onward but omit precise chronology for his early life, reflecting the hagiographic nature of such accounts reliant on later vitae.

Deaths

Cunimund, the last king of the , was killed during the – War by , king of the , leading to the ' defeat and subjugation by the Avars.
