1. World War II
Hitler is jealous that England won world war 1
The Nazis almost took over the world.
Big technologies change.
A crime against mankind.
2. Crucifixion of Christ
It is the only way for a just and righteous God to reconcile sinful people to Himself. Jesus died, the just for the unjust in order to bring us to God.
This event is really the only event, when believed upon in faith that has made it possible for people to live eternally with their Creator in peace. So the gift of eternal life through faith in Jesus’s death and resurrection on our behalf, goes well beyond the few years of our earthly existence.
This event divided history in two. Every date is divided before Christ and after Christ. It changed the world. Christianity is the largest faith in the world. It influences everyone from the humanist atheist to modern secularist. As for believers it is the most important reason for their belief.
3. Landing on the Moon
I thought this was a major event because it was a race between the USA and Russia to land on the moon successfully and well, we did it.
This will be more important in the future because it will mark the first time that people went on a place other than earth.
In 10,000 years, only 2 things on this list will be remembered, the Moon Landing, and the first atomic warfare.
It still blows my mind we were able to achieve this. What’s next, a frigging gas giant landing?
4. Invention of the Internet
Started obesity epidemic, physical interface, pear-shaped bodies as the norm.
It has changed our lives today, it made them easier and harder in certain ways
An average person in Europe uses internet two hours a day
5. World War I
Without WW1 there would have been no ww2, korean war, vietnam war, cold war or war in the middle east.
This should be number 1
The worst thing ever
The Hell Of The World
6. September 9/11
No one can ever forget this every year at every school in America you see them talking about this event. It’s because it was so horrible and it was tragic…
Security checks at airports increased, homeland security was invented, and American Nationalism rose
This terrorist attack still effects our life now because now we can’t look at a jew without thinking “Terrorist”
7. Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
The bombing at Hiroshima showed that man could destroy himself. The bombs also were the culmination of decades of racism against Asian peoples in America which was likely an extension of the global “East-West” conflict.
Huge events to be sure, but calling them “culmination of racism against Asian people” is so much revisionist claptrap.
No offense america but you put the 9/11 bombings above this is insane yes the twin towers and the pentagon being destroyed was a tragedy but it fails in comparison to the amount of death and tragedy of the Japan bombings
8. Discovering the New World
The discovery of the americas by the europeans, it was inevitable since some civilizations there already made trips around the world (The incas made a trip to the polynesia islands and had trades with the tribus there)
But this was the thing that made USA,canada,mexico,brazil,etc and a lot of resources came from the americas (especially the potato)
A famous French explorer Christophe Colomb discovered America and new civilizations in 1492.
9. Birth of Muhammad
HE (PBUH) established the first ever welfare state in human history”The state of Madinah” which eventually became the Rashedun Caliphate.The state had equal application of rule of law ,even on the Caliph.
The state of madinah taxed upon the rich in various forms like Jakat and spent that money solely on the poor. Christian ,jewish and minorities were given the right to perform their worship with full security from the muslims under the state order established by the Prophet pbuh.
10. The Holocaust
Most tragic event. Over 6 million innocent people died and I was lucky enough to meet a survivor. I will never forget his story.
Millions died and it changed the course of history forever on how we view literally everyone.
11. Spanish Flu
Worse than the Black Death, more than 40 million people died.
12. Indian Ocean Earthquake & Tsunami
This was terrible. This earthquake and it’s resulting tsunami killed over 230,000 people, caused a train wreck in Sri Lanka and caused devastating damage in the Indian Ocean coastline areas.
