    European History

    Anyone know of a good website and/or book, relating to European History(specifically, from the 1500's to 2000). Preferably one with important dates shown prominenty.

    Or, maybe some of you guys could just post important events off the top of your head.

    October 31st, 1517 - Start of the Protestant Reformation

    Since you're looking to cram and not to learn, anything I can say won't help you.

      In this forum, that's the most likely. You'll have to figure out the order for yourself.

        European history, eh? Western Europe? Central? Eastern? All of it?

        That's not a small category.

          This is a wide topic, and it isn't exactly easy to know where to begin with. Maybe you should be more specific, and cut your question into a few sub questions ? (such as "what were the important events druing the renaissance ?" "What were the important events during the enlightenment ?" etc etc.)

              That's a bloody big area to cover given the amount of changes that happened...

              http://www.friesian.com/philhist.htm is good, covers not just Europe and does pretty much all time periods...complicated to understand though.

              http://homepages.tesco.net/~plk33/pl...storyFiles.htm has timeline things for each country.

                1302 AD the most important one I guess. The Day we kicked some serious French butt.

                Not a unique thing to do, I know, but it is for us (annyones for that matter )
                Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                  Okay, off the top of my head, with some date confirmation via Google:

                  1588 - Spanish Armada fails spectacularly in an attemped Spanish invasion of England. Drake overheard thanking God for the weather.

                  1618-1648 - "Thirty Years War." Tough to explain in a small blurb. Pretty much everybody in Central Europe fought everybody else, on and off, for 30 years.

                  1639-1651 - English Civil War(s). Nasty stuff. King versus Parliament (led by Cromwell). Parliament wins, but Cromwell was such a bastard they eventually brought a King back.

                  1707 - Act of Union. Scotland & England become the United Kingdom (James VI of Scotland becomes James I of England).

                  1789 - French Revolution

                  Just a few tidbits that came to mind... but there is an awful lot more to it.

                    Everyone has to have their turn to whoop some French ass. Some get fewer turns than others.

                          Erm...how about:

                          June 6th 1944: Allied forces under the command of U.S. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower invades German occupied France.

                          How's that for important??
