[QUOTE=redback3;42428701]Where is the battle of Hastings?[/QUOTE]
Or any of the Saxon-Scandinavian Wars
Or the Crusades
The Wars of the Roses and the Hundred Years War
All of the European Middle Ages, really. It wasn't one big "Dark Age" of complete scientific and political inaction like some people believe
Where is the Oklahoma City bombing?

Much more important events than that.

Can't tell you how much the last thing pisses me off. Really, seems like the people who wrote this took stuff out of books for kids.
1989 Eastern Europe transitions from Communism & Romanian Revolution and fall of Berlin Wall?
1990 German Reunification?
1990-91' Gulf War?
2001 Invasion of Afghanistan and 2003 invasion of Iraq?
1933- Hitlers rise to power to Fuhrer?
1991-1999 Yugoslav Wars?
Creation if Israel in 1947/48/whenever?
Just a couple of very significant human events missing from this timeline in the AD section
[QUOTE=Cutthecrap;42381466]What are your sources for this?
Jesus.[/QUOTE]
I don't think Jesus gave him the timeline
I think the biggest issue with this timeline is it tries to cover too many themes and thus misses important events.
Stick to just an economic history timeline, or a military one. Or culture and/or political timeline.
Jumping between a war here then a cultural event there then an economical innovation here makes it look just really unorganized.
9/11 seems a bit small to be in that list.

Usually events so close to the present don't and shouldn't get judged as "historical events" until far after the fact is known what impact it made on history afterward, but given how extreme American society (and the rest of the world because of it) changed because of 9/11, I would think it's a significant event to put there.
The October Revolution was a pretty big deal too.

I didnt really notice a change exept for tighter airport security.
You're fairly blind, then.
