Here I will list out or try to list out "Greatest Events in Human History". Try to limit the same as much as possible. I may miss out something but I guess opinions may differ on the same.
- First event was use of weapons and implements for food hunting.
- Next event was discovery of fire.
- Third event was cooking food and eating. Man used to eat raw food or meat and cooking greatly increased the value.
- Fourth event was discovery of agriculture. The fact that man could grow his own food was an important step.
- Fifth event was humans stepping out of Africa. That was a big step. As we know life originated in Africa and then it spread around the world first through land mass then through boats. Much of it was undocumented.
- Sixth event was discovery of writing or rough noting of stuffs. We can say that writing in walls caves was going on for long before the discovery of writing. Related to this is the emergence of civilisations of Mesopotamia, Egypt and Harappa.
- Seventh was the discovery of religion. We know that some religions are more than 5 to 7000 years old. Religions like Hinduism or Zoroastrianism or Judaism.
- Eighth main event was discovery and the spread of Buddhism. Buddhism emerged around 2500 years ago and dominated Indian subcontinent for almost 1500 years plus before Hinduism re-emerged again under Sankaracharya and other Gurus and present temples are testimony to that which are about 1000 years old or lesser. In the meantime Buddhism also spread Eastwards to South East Asia and East Asia including Japan. Thus it spread to far reaches of the known World of the time. The Westward expansion was probably stopped by Muslims. Also documented fact is Muslims tolerated Hindus more than Buddhists and thus Hindus thrived under Muslim rule. Before Muslim rule in India there was a struggle between Hindus and Buddhists and that is vast undocumented conflict of history.
- Ninth major event was discovery and spread of Christianity which happened around 2000 years old. Christianity subsequently over hundreds of years finished off the old religions especially in Middle East, North Africa and Europe and Russian regions. Christianity also eliminated the Greek, Egypt and subsequently Roman Empires over 4-500 years.
- Tenth major event was rise of Islam which happened around 1400 years ago. Islam subsequently over hundreds of years finished off Christianity and other pagan religions in many regions around the Middle East and Africa and China and India. Rise of Islam gave rise to Crusades and Holy Wars which lasted hundreds of years.
- Eleventh major event was "takeover" of Asia Minor region by the Turks and Muslims and this small patch of land was denied access to Christians for a land-based route towards Jerusalem which was a holy place for all Christians, Muslims and Jews alike. The Turks went on towards Europe but were never able to completely take over the regions in Europe and Balkans where they faced severe resistance from the Europeans. This eleventh event gave rise to twelfth event.
- Twelfth major event was due to losses in Middle East the Europeans used knowledge gained from Arabs and Muslims to give rise to "Renaissance" and then began the voyages to far ends of earth and challenge the "flat earth" theory. It was the age of exploration and gave rise to Vasco Dama, Magellan and Columbus. Europeans began proceeding towards new lands in Americas in North, South and Central America. This gave rise to genocide of local people and establishment of new countries in particular Unites States of America which became the most powerful nation of the earth subsequently.
- Thirteenth major event was colonial exploitation and slave trade and finally takeover of lands and establishment of colonies thousands of kms from their homes by the Europeans.
- Fourteenth major event was rise of inter-European wars for getting access to resources. It was rivalries in foreign lands which led to wars near their own borders. Gave rise to several wars which culminated in Second World War and hopefully no more inter European Wars have happened since.
- Fifteenth major event happened just after Second World War and that was "freedom" granted to India, Pakistan and Israel. This paved the way for the granting of "freedom" to countries around the world in Asia, Africa.
- The Israel case was a particular severe one as it entailed the expulsion of Arabs already living in the region known as Palestine and influx of people following Jewish faith from Europe and elsewhere.
- The India - Pakistan - Bangladesh case was also severe as Pakistan was created by British to stop "Indian" expansion into Middle East and Central Asia. Pakistan was like a "wall" to Indians. But Kashmir remains unresolved as Pakistan, India and China also claimed parts of Kashmir region as their own.
- In South East Asia, Vietnam had to play a great price for freedom as when French were defeated in Indo-China, America got involved and got defeated as well not before 3 million Vietnamese and more than 50000 American people were killed. The twelfth event in human history got defeated in Fifteenth point. The westward movement of Europeans was halted in Korea (in Korean War) and Vietnam. The Americans(descendant of Europeans) did manage do drop nuclear bomb in Japan but could not do so subsequently in Korea and Vietnam as there was USSR and China which now had their own nuclear weapons.
- Sixteenth major event was American, European and Russian involvement in the Middle East. They had propped Israel as kind of "buffer state" in Middle East. Listen to what Joe Biden said in 1986. American involvement is particularly harsh like sanctions, regime change, bombing using proxies using dictators against each other and so on. Since America got defeated in Vietnam and uneasy stalemate was reached in Korea the "new world" has returned to "old world" to reconcile themselves.Asians including Chinese and Indians have proved too tough for America to handle and so they have chosen weak disunited regions like Middle East to interfere.
- Looking at above chronicle there will be no any major development in near future.
- There wont be any seventeenth major event.
- Age of Colonialism is not coming back. No country can old hold another country hostage. People from the occupied region will never accept foreign interference and dominance.
- Jerusalem will not return back to Muslims or Christians. As of now Jerusalem will remain a Jewish Capital. People from other faiths can visit Jerusalem as tourists and that is it.
- Similar is the case with Turkey and Asia Minor region. No way can Christians hope to reverse what happened in fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. They want to visit Turkey and they have to go in as tourists.
- Leaders in Europe and America may come and go but countries around the world will continue to function in loose coalition with each other. They have no other choice. "With or without you" is the motto where the countries have to function.
