Mr. Doggin probably the most important

[@CoalDiamondandhisawesomeness]

That's what I was thinking

[@CoalDiamondandhisawesomeness]

Now that I think about it, remember when he said 5,000 years of history? Well, we know it's between 100,000 and 300,000 years. Because of that, I think when he meant history, he meant written history (which is technically all that history really is) and anything before that, including the agricultural revolution, is pre-history

[@matthewdoliveira9421]

The life of Napoleon deserves an honourable mention. I know he's seen as a villain to most of the world because of British propaganda, however Napoleon implemented the civil code and the army corp system which went on to be adopted by most if not all of Europe. He liberated most of the Italian states from Austrian rule and Poland from Prussia and Russia. It was also his campaign in Egypt that led to the discovery of the Rosetta stone, the key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics

[@jakeclough8090]

Pretty sure in most of those history books a greater percentage of the content was sourced from a British recollection of the events compared to a smaller percentage sourced from a French recollection...basically the British version of the events of the time is accepted, studied and broadcasted more than the French version

I am glad 9/11 was not mentioned, since that would mean radical islam and its psychotic followers achieved their goals by converting America into one huge police state, which it did in a way. I hate flying not because of fear of something happening but just the inconvenience of security lines and ridiculous procedures.

Now bringing a nail clipper can get you in the "no fly list."

[@lesnyk255]

The trouble with compiling a list like this is that the more recent the event, the harder it is to objectively say how important it is - if by "important", we mean how far into future history it will reverberate. The rise of Soviet communism dominated 20th century geopolitics, but has pretty much faded into insignificance. The JFK assassination was a nightmare for those of us who lived through it - but in terms of historical significance, does it really weigh more than the assassinations of Lincoln, Ghandi, or Caesar? I don't think we can say yet. I believe the digital revolution will be seen as a game-changer, but my guess is no better than anyone's. "The future's not ours to see..."

Great list but its more of a western view. A lot happened in asia, africa and south america. U didnt even mention slavery or the triangle trade. Many mention that this is what was most important to history, but i would like to suggest that its important for western history. Dont forget that enormous amounts of people live in asia and africa that wouldve been affected by ”asian” and ”african” history. The assassination of jfk definitely isnt as important as the opium war or the different waves of colonialism and imperialism imo.

[@azatchi9737]

[@blippitybloo]

Many of those civilizations haven't contributed much to the human species. May seem cruel to say but it's true. And where would you ever begin to include slavery? It goes back to antiquity. And slavery has been a detriment to the human condition as it stifles the creative need for technological improvements due to excess manual labor

[@blippitybloo]

@Aaron Marsh again THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU WOULD CALL A HISTORICAL LEAP. This is not hard. Most historically important to humanity. This is why it is goofy that the Norman conquest wasn't included. England has been one of the most important powers in thr world for the last 1000 years.

What specifically would you add? I think the issue is not so much with the list per se but how it is presented. And a point is well-taken re the JFK assassination. That was too specific, I think, particularly since the point he was making concerned the continuation of the Viet Nam War and how that impacted the world. I think the list is meant to talk about events or changes or processes that have impacted the world, all of humanity as a family, as evidenced today. it did seem to lose some steam as the countdown continued, getting closer to the present-day. That's understandable. It's much harder to see what's extremely important in the world when there's not much distance or hindsight.

[@Milligan777]

The emphasis is on Importance, events whose effects are still felt today. Japan an China have a very fascinating history, as do others, but they aren't as important or influential today. Think of Japan's isolationist practices, for example. An isolated country isn't going to have much organic influence 200+ years later.

[@accountthatillusetocomment3041]

1. History can be defined as a series of events that led to X conclusion. 2. It means an event that had significant impact, which is completely based on opinion and common sense, on the X conclusion. 3. Because there were a lot less people who cared about history back in 1200 BCE than now. Back then people just didn't bother to label the date of death of their king or even if a war was fought because they didn't even have a calendar, and an average person back then would just be a peasant wanting nothing but to feed his family. It's very much the opposite right now. 4. On my definition, yes that something can be history. Everything can be history. _Important_ of great significance or value. However, it is not important, as there was no good incentive to pass that importance to generations beyond.

Jesus was a very, very VERY important guy. Do you always notice that BC and AD thing on specific years in history? Well, BC means Before Christ. BC was a HORRIBLE time for people. During this time, people would fight and kill each other for no reason. In the Tenth Century Jesus took a stand and wanted to end all of this. If I am correct the roman people wanted Jesus dead or Jesus wanted to kill himself to save the world or something but I am not very sure. I'm not that buffed in the life of Jesus like I am in other subjects of history. Anyways Jesus' death was known as " Christ " Christ Ended the BC time period and started AD or CE ( depending on which one you use but i may be wrong again ) which is are current time period. AD means After Christ. In this time period life became better and people finally stopped fighting and killing each other. Jesus' Life and Death was a very important thing in history.

As usual, a very euroscentric/US-scentric view on history. JFK assassination ONE of the 25 most important historical events in the WORLD? :D

[@bamabat8435]

I think, without question, the top 5 must be... 1. The advent of the spoken word 2. The discovery of fire 3. The invention of the wheel 4. The advent of the written word 5. The discovery of electricity

[@Lawnschiclettooth]

There’s always going to be subjectivity in lists of this nature. Having said that, the fact discovery of fire, Development of alphabets and writing, and agricultural Revolution weren’t listed as 1-3 would disqualify the validity of the list in my personal opinion. Those three events have shaped human history and formation of society in incredible ways

He said last 5k years??

[@dulogmaz]

We as humans exist about 5500 years lol

[@dulogmaz]

Number 1 is at the sole top spot by a big margin. Here's why: with digital industrialization we can store data much, much easier and history we make as humans can't be lost as easy as it was before it. Think about it, so many things we could be lied about for so long. As Joseph Goebbels said "Repeat a lie enough times and it becomes the truth"

A number of criticisms. 1. This list is extremely Euro-centric.With rare exception, you would think that nothing important happened any where else in the world. 2. With the exception of the space race and the internet, science short changed. What about the publication of On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection? How about Issac Newton's discoveries, the foundation of Physics and the development of Calculus? The discoveries of Einstein, Pasteur or of DNA? Henry Ford and bringing the automobile to the masses? So many world-changing technologies and only two of them mentioned. 3. You mentioned The Black Death, but not small pox that decreased the native population of the Americas by 90% by 1600. 4. You ignored literature. How about Machiavelli's The Prince or Sun Tzu's Art of War, just to mention two?

[@AlanCringLtd]

Although you will have more than a few critics claim this or that event should have been included or excluded, your list is good. I would, however, take exception to your word "events" in the title. Many of these were not events at all, but rather processes, like the Industrial Revolution. While we can perhaps cite to a specific thing that happened, often these events were just markers on larger process time lines (as you mention several times). For example, the Black Death was a consequence of the feudal model and overpopulation that inhibited technological innovation; so, once the Plague had decropped the human herd, innovation, exploration, and revision of the human mindset could proceed. Anyway, again, aside from this quibbling, the video was another of your greats.

[@list25]

Thank you Alan! And thank you for your insight on "event". We try to make the titles as descriptive as possible so that people know what they are about to watch. So any help in making titles more accurate is definitely appreciated :) - Juan

I'd say the day humans landed on the moon is fairly important. I mean we be representing every earth born creature that has ever lived over the billions of years when the astronauts stood on the moon. It was also when humans discovered something else, Earth; seen in full. Lonely in the cold dark vacuum of space. Its when people started realising that climate change could be a real issue.

What a biased list! Although Persians conquered a lot of countries but they never destroyed cultures or historical sites but when alexander conquered iran he destroyed Persepolis and many other cultural sites at the time. History shouldn’t be cherry picked and told the way you think people like...

How the fuk is the assassination of JFK on the list? Even the American Civil War is a bit of a stretch. In my opinion, better ones would have been: The barbarian invasions, The Punic wars, The bronze age collapse, The discovery of america, The discovery of the sea route to india, The suez canal, The stoping of the chinese treasure fleets, The crusades, The siege of Vienna, The battle of Poitiers, And maybe even the opium wars,

[@d.m.173]

Same!

[@manicmute9440]

Facts! You poor thing.

[@Scooter1995-q5z]

Just a few I would have included on this list although I did enjoy this guys :) The thirty years war - led to notion of each to their own with peace of Westphalia and permanent split between Protestantism and Catholicism. Catholic churches influence weakened and France and habsburgs able to assert great power in wake of the war. Permanent thereafter decline of the Holy Roman Empire and sparking enlightenment principles through contemporary thinkers such as Hobbes and Descartes. The Columbian exchange - although Columbus didn't technically 'discover' the Americas his legacy lasted and increased interest in the already empowering empires of Portugal and Spain who had sought new routes to the east after the emergence of the Ottomans and their subsequent attempts at infiltrating Indian ocean trade. The exchange of goods and cultures brought about great changes in the way europeans saw themselves on the world stage and were given access to huge deposits of resources and other things such as silver, gold, potatoes, maize, cocoa and sugar cane. With the Americas culture forever shifting away from its tribal based roots with new animals such as the domesticated horse and cow and with new economic systems of governance with eventually national identities emerging as ( in large part at least ) a result of European subjugation and social ordering.

Where is the battle for middle earth?

Does something have to be verified to have actually occurred to be on this list? Because there are a few that have some serious question marks.

[@craigstewart1532]

It amazes me how narrators can be so poor in the pronunciation of the words in their video. Angelican? Reeformation?

Good video but feels pretty America biased. And i personally think the printing press should be higher up, seems to me it led up to several events that were up above it, such as the enlightenment and the french and american revolutions.

[@matthewclifford4661]

While I see your point, the video seems to be in a chronological order. Tbh, it would be higher up on mine, too.

We wouldn't have gone to Vietnam. And November 23,1963 he was on his way to a luncheon with future NASA officials and media .

[@blackbolt5243]

#25 is a joke. The Persians had far more sophisticated art, literature, governments, and culture than the Greeks. Both the Greeks AND the Romans were influenced heavily by Persian customs and innovations. Much of what people believe to be of “Roman” origin is actually Persian in nature. The early road systems, as well as cataphracts, are just two examples. Also, the Greeks did not “thrive” after the Greco-Persian wars - quite the opposite actually. They used Persian Emperors as backers to fuel their civil wars, which weakened them enough for Alexander to take over.

[@BanjaraHillbillies]

It's Anglican. ANG-li-can. As in from England. Not "Angelican". Thanks.

[@frankmenchaca9993]

No mention of Abraham nor of Gautama Buddha. Nothing of the Renaissance, the age of flight or electricity. Many believe WW2 began with the Japanese invasion of China in 1937. Without the agricultural revolution, we would still be hunting and gathering. And that's not saying anything about an opposable thumb or bipedalism.

[@chickenstripz1961]

Sir Isaac Newton discovering gravity and the Mayans figuring out the stars and inventing calendars should be on this list.

[@benjaminchacko3709]

For people who don't understand, the list isn't based on most importance but rather which came first in historical order. That's why it starts with things like Greece and slowly shifts to things the the Industrial Revolution

[@persianpatriotpp2762]

This is wrong. The Persians were very tolerant and would let the Greeks do their culture Also nothing about achaemenid Persia? It ruled 46% of the population and had the first human rights declaration and the first mail system. Also it had influenced the middle East very heavily and also Europe. And nothing about farming? Calendars? Scripts? Fire? These were the most important human inventions!
