What's your favorite moment in history

What event do you like to talk or learn about. Which moment in history do you find most interesting?

I'm getting interested in history. I hated history class but I like learning new things on my own .

I don't now were to start, so maybe if you guys throw in a couple of topics I can start from there.

 

How about when people walked from russia to alaska? That was pretty cool. I think they took some shrooms on the way too.

 

end of WW2
and Russia won,.. am i right

 

The founding of the US. The leading people disliked each other, disagreed about several important things (like slavery), but still managed to come together and get the new idea of the a whole country run without aristocracy to work.

 

my favorite political moment in history in my own life would have to be when j.f.k. won the nomination. i was quite young but i remember feeling a tremendous uplift when it was announced.

furthere back i would have to say ghandi winning india's independence from great brittan.

when the norther piutes at pyramid lake kicked the butts of the army of drunken bastards sent out to kill them, would be another certainly.

or when african colonies gained independence from their european empires, there was so much hope then.

or the end of aparthied in south africa.

when a train load of ordinance bound for viet nam blew up in the yard at roseville. i was working for the railroad at the time and got more overtime then i've ever seen in my pocket before or since. too bad the kind of computers we have now didn't exist then. that's what i would have bought with it. wanted to then, but even the first kits for 8 bit machines hadn't hit the market yet.

first man on the moon of course. the resignation to avoid impeachment of nixxon. the american withdrawal from saigon.

jimi carter's recognition of and refusal to slaughter the sandanistas.

oh there's a lot of em.

i would have to say the defenistration of prauge

prodestants rushed into a building in prauge and threw the catholic ministers, (bishops i think) out of a 2nd story window

To defenistrate means to throw out of a winhdow, and even since i learnt about this it has become one of my favorit words

 

That moment where a few cavemen figgured out how to start a fire with a couple of sticks.

 

That's my favourite word too! We should party.

Off the top of my head, I don't have a fave moment in history...I'll be back when I've had time to think.

 

I'll second that.

 

I have deduced that you are white. And it's terribly naive of you to believe it was the working class that came together and made a country absent of aristocracy.

 

Julius Ceaser taking control of Rome. Definatley a major world event. Almost as important as the fall of Rome was.

 

When the lost Pharoah of Egypt Ahkenaten was banished from Egypt because he wanted to become monotheistic, claiming the worship of the numerous deities (Annunaki, one of whom is Enlil also called Yahweh, Allah, and Osiris) was foolish and they should become monotheistic and worship the sun because it was reference to the all knowing God, the supreme, higher up then the lesser gods we still worship today. Then of course he taught Moses which led to the Exodus, but then after that the Babylonians took over and mingled in their LAWS and RULES and basically ruined everything Moses was trying to teach.

Maybe that explains why the world is so fucked up today.

 

The 1920s.
The 1960s
The Edwardian Era.
The Early 1970s.
World Wars I and II.
Renaissance.
Dark Ages.

 

just remembered another one and don't know why i didn't think of it before.

when the nortern piutes kicked the buts of the army of drunks from verginia city that were going to rob them of pyramid lake.

My favorite moment in history is the time when Samson was alive in Ancient Israel. The Spirit of G-d came over Samson and he did this. The Spirit of G-d came upon Samson and he did that. And he did these things mostly because he wanted the love of a good woman. Delilah the daughter of a Philistine. Like Romeo and Juliette but with enormous spiritual and physical strength. HIS power lent to a mere man.
MikeJeffersBorn1953
These things really happened. Documented history.

 

The Berlin Air Drops that the US did and most never heard about. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/bomb/peopleevents/pandeAMEX49.html

 

i loved the 70's. movements, rights, fights, protests, and of course my favourite band ever Led Zeppelin in it's prime.

 

The Post-war era: 1945-1975.

A mixture of good & bad but never dull & never disappointing!.
