Important dates in European history


Wednesday 5 March 2008 @ 8:43 pm


Whilst researching my doctoral thesis on the disassociation of ambidextrous monozygotic siblings in the Third Reich, it occurred to me that there are very few sources available, online or otherwise, which offer a summary of the really important dates in European history.

I would therefore like to make the following proposals, subject to the caveat that these refer specifically to “Europe” in the geopolitical sense, and not the geographical or purely (God Help Us!) political:

  1. March 16th,  1972
  2. September 12th, 1648
  3. The first week in August, 1921 and 1922
  4. May 16th OR 17th, 1811

My apologies for length. I realise these may be a little controversial, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch: this should be a collaborative project.

Your comments?

    I would add June 3rd 1978… Big date… ;-)
    PS: Am really sorry. Want to be very smart and witty, but those dates don’t mean very much to me… Sorry

    PPS: maybe you should award ME the €50. So I can get me a REAL education… :-)

    June 3rd is an interesting one, but I would never have chosen 1978.
