Post three key revolutionary moments in human history

[Tooting Carmen]

My list is doubtless unconventional and eccentric.

(1) Treaty of Waitangi, 1840. More-or-less the first time Europeans and New World indigenous people (in this case Maoris) sat down peacefully in order to agree on land rights and political representation.

(2) Creation of the State of Israel, 1947-48. Whatever one thinks of its subsequent misdeeds, creating a state for the long-suffering Jewish people was a very important moment. More to the point, the fact that people who had just survived the Holocaust and were now being attacked by neighbouring countries were nevertheless able to create a viable and entrepeneurial democracy was pretty remarkable.

(3) Cuban Revolution, 1959. Similarly to Israel, Cuba is also a very controversial state, but again whatever one thinks of its subsequent misdeeds, being able to be at last truly independent from the US, the instauration of free and universal public services and the closure of the numerous casinos and brothels which scarred the island was a very important moment. More to the point, the fact it has managed to survive without becoming a wholesale failed state even with the US embargo and the Communist regime's own misguided policies is pretty remarkable.

(1) Discovery of the New World

(2) Protestant Reformation

(3) American Revolution/War of Independence (this was a hard one, cuz the French Revolution is a close contender, but the American thing was the original sin, imho).

What did you think of my list?

2 and 3 are the more remarkable ones. And it is debatable how much they impacted things outside their respective hemispheres. The ones I listed had a more planetary impact.

Well I agree your examples do so in a more obvious and overt kind of way. Still, relative to their small sizes, I'd argue both Israel and Cuba have had a pretty big impact on global geopolitics.

[SneedsFeedNSeed]

I think discovery of the new world is a good one.
I'll pick some that weren't mentioned.

1. Invention of writing
2. Invention of mathematics
3. D-Day or the Battle of Stalingrad (whichever is officially the turning point of WW2)

[Rethel]

1. Creation of the World and Adam by Jehovah God
2. Death and resurrection of Jesus Christ
3. The return of Jesus, soon.

Of course, I'm over-emphasizing contemporary events because this is the Era we are living in and where events impact us the most + there is an acceleration of History, so recent events have more profound impacts than previous ones
