Biggest Events in Human History
List that contains immense events through human history.
It's important because the Allies started to think that the Treaty of Versailles wasn't a good idea.
Tens of millions died, and it created much of the modern world and politics we know today.
The deadliest war in human history slowed human progress by killing so many people.
The first instance of modern warfare that still has lasting effects on today's politics and society.
Empires fell in this war. And all that just because a Serbian fired a bullet.
Without WW1, there would have been no WW2, Korean War, Vietnam War, Cold War, or war in the Middle East.
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.
The event that caused history to be divided as we know it and who sparked a following that has lasted and flourished into the modern world. Christianity as a movement has inspired countless historical figures and shaped civilizations. And that is an objective view.
If you consider the prospect of salvation offered to an entire race, then Christ wins hands down without competition.
It was a noticeable start to the very rapid development of the human race and society. It paved the way for inventions that shape our daily lives and the world around us.
Introduced a whole new way of communicating, entrepreneurship and business, entertainment, and finding information.
Started the obesity epidemic, physical inactivity, pear-shaped bodies as the norm.
It has changed our lives today. It made them easier and harder in certain ways.
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 "the culmination of racism against Asian people" is so much revisionist claptrap.
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 tragic.
Security checks at airports increased. Homeland Security was invented. American nationalism rose.
The 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 everyone.
This is the mass genocide of 6 million people. This has to be considered in the top ten. No question.
For the first time, SpaceX has landed the Falcon 9, bringing us closer to chances of developing technology to go back to the Moon and even to Mars. It was a huge day.
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 event will gain even more significance in the future. It marks the first time that humans ventured to a place other than Earth.
The Newcomers
He (PBUH) established the first-ever welfare state in human history, "The State of Madinah," which eventually became the Rashidun Caliphate. The state had an equal application of the rule of law, even on the Caliph. The State of Madinah imposed taxes upon the rich in various forms, like Zakat, and spent that money solely on the poor. Christians, Jews, 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).
In the state, women got the right to keep property completely under their own authority. They also had the right to choose any profession and education within the criteria of performing Hijab. Every citizen, including women, had the right to criticize, accuse, and ask for accountability face-to-face with their Caliph without being punished. Muhammad (PBUH) declared freeing a slave as one of the most noble deeds a person could do. Even if someone had to keep a slave, Muhammad (PBUH) ordered them to treat those slaves equally to family members.
As the birth of Muhammad (PBUH) marked the start of a new humane and just phase of human civilization, this event should be placed in the first position.
Rightly so, this has been voted as the highest in the 1001-2000 millennium. The advent of the printing press brought reading to the masses. Could ideas like democracy have spread, revolutions have happened without this?
This affected everyone in the world.
It set in stone the relations between the U.S., Russia, and the rest of the world. Russia and the U.S. may be seen as vastly different today if it wasn't for the war.
An indirect conflict between two sides: the East, USSR, and the West, the United States.
Positive or negative, it was the start of the New World. Without it, we would likely not be as advanced as we are now.
Honestly, it should be number 1. It introduced things like jobs, changed the way we survive, and was the key to a functioning civilization. Without it, our lives would be very different, and humans may have never advanced past hunting animals in tribes.
How was this not on here? Without it, we would still be nomads!
The Muslims conquered the capital of the Roman Empire. More specifically, it was the Turks, who were once considered backward and who were displaced by the Mongols.
The first big, fancy (for the most part) ship failed, many died, and the captain, who was going to retire, died on his last voyage.
After that, they made safer ships.
The Black community was able to gain more rights and allowed them to lead more successful lives.
The happiest moment in world history.
Worse than the Black Death, more than 40 million people died.
This was terrible. This earthquake and its resulting tsunami killed over 230,000 people, caused a train wreck in Sri Lanka, and caused devastating damage in the Indian Ocean coastline areas.
