A.D. 2015: RicOlie2 suddenly realizes how long it's been since he last updated this thread.

 LOL, I stopped after awhile because there was almost no interest in this thread and I things were getting busy.

 I'm interested! If this thread didn't exist then I would have created my own. Not necessarily about specific events tied to the date, but a history discussion thread nonetheless.

 Well, it's nice to have someone taking interest for a change. Of course, I've had several people pop by, but none have really been interested in a real conversation about the history.

I only began to take a serious interest in history a couple years ago, having been failed entirely by the public school system in that regard, and did an overview of world history during my two years of homeschooling. It's amazing how little I knew before then. Over those two years, I made a colour-coded timeline of history in Excel, covering several thousand years and organized further by continent. It has its biases, but it touches on most important things (and I believe has almost 7000 different events, with brief descriptions).
