Wait, do you mean history in all time, starting with the Big Bang, or since Earth came into existence, since the first multi-cellular beings, or since the first humanoids, or since humans became Home Sapiens Sapiens, or "history" from according to the bible (in which case I wouldn't know)?TikiShades said:
The day two years ago when my #@%$*& time machine blew apart,without me even getting to test it...
As someone-said before, the outcome of the greco-persian wars. Greek culture and philsophy survived, the Romans conquered Greece and exported Greek and Roman ideas around the world. When the Roman Empire collapsed, "Barbarian" culture would have an influence on Europe, and from where Germanic-Nordic individualism would have a pervading influence in the formation of western conceptions of Justice (Magna Carta- no man is above the law),the idea of trail by Jury (Anglo-Saxon idea)and help develop capitalism.
In the middle-ages, Aristotle's work was re-discovered in the crusades, Saint Aquinas modified them to justify Gods existence (his belief) and this had a profound influence on Christian faith. The Catholic church kept Greco-Roman ideas and culture alive until the Renaissance where it burst into the mainstream with the decline of feudalism, caused by the Black Death.
Greek and Roman attitudes, crucially the pursuit of knoledge and reason re-emerged in the Renniscane and from that we get science, and the western understanding of science and technology allowed westerns to spread their ideology across the world. Britain spearheaded the globalisation of western ideology in the 18th and 19th century.
Meanwhile that same respect for the reason, combined with western beliefs about justice, in particular social justice would lead to the differing views on political ideology once it became clear that the Monarch had no "divine" right to rule. (French Revelution, English Civil War) These differing political ideology's would shape the course of the 20th century- 2 world wars and a Cold War later and American makes sure Liberal Democracy wins... and yeah science continues and we have reached the present day...
So my top are, in chronological order as history is "one thing after the other"-
1)Greek-Persian War-Greeks win
2)Roman Empire
3)Collapse of Roman Empire and Dark Ages
4)Roman Catholic Church
5)Black Death
6)Rennisance and Enlightenment (science)
7)British Empire (nb- British influence on the world due to her navy, not necessarly the "Empire")
8)Rise of America in the 20th Century
9)?
10)?
9 and 10 haven't happened yet lol, maybe thats for the future- i'm guessing that Global Warming and the successful colonisation of space, thus ensuring humanities long term survival, would be next?

then we wouldnt of had the cold war
then we wouldnt have advances in technology.
then we wouldnt of....wait imagin a world where that never happened?
right then maybe it would look like the 60s and we had laser beams and plasma weapons and robots!
wait ive been playing too much fallout.
but yeah world war 1>WWII>Coldwar>advance in technology> the computer your on.
I'd have to say the day I found out girls would actually go out with me. Either that or my birthday but 50 people got there before me so I'll have to get in line
How? Also, I said it first on this threadlwm3398 said:but i invented you too. it's a mutual relationship,meaning that we came into existence at the same time,neither one of us before the other. thus,neither one of us is ninja'd.Lexodus said:I. Invented. YOU.lwm3398 said:
Really... so the big bang? No? okay? Beginning of evolution? No again? Fine! Hmm... Ah yes, creation of the wheel? Really! No? Wow, rome falling perhaps... okay... have it your wayD_987 said:
Mine is either the big bang (you know the thing, the creation of the universe?) or the fall of the roman empire after the 'civil wars' and conquering s.
The big band and evolution are actually scientific theories and are not historical events at all - sure there's some proof, but its still debatable; the only solid historical event you possess is the fall of the Roman empire; and I disagree, as the Empire was never going to last - history has proved they never do.arc101 said:
