Which historical event would you want to witness?

[nightdrot]

Where to begin? Not sure that I could pick just one, but if I were forced - odd as it might sound as an American - I would pick Pearl Harbor.

While not unmindful of the suffering that day - and the many that would follow - the operational brilliance and tactical daring of the action were impressive. Few events in history have marked such an obvious turning point in history.

For balance, the other event that I would like to have attended was Japan's signing of the surrender aboard the battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945. Again, an impressive turning point.

That said, frankly, as I mention these I am immediately mindful of other events. So, as I say, my answers above would be my instant response if someone put a gun to my head. It really is hard to pick and choose.

Even harder, though, would be being forced to answer what historical figure that I would want to meet. There are dozens. I just could not answer.

[ManOnFire]

How the pyramids were made.

[Amy10223]

I would have loved to have witnessed Trump's refusal to leave the Whitehouse, and have the National Guard have to drag him out.

[Flower7]

I would like to see some slaves getting freed in the United States.

[OlderAndWiser]

The surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown.

[TheBMG]

Ghengis Khan and his domination of the Mongolian Empire. Read a lot of stuff about him.


I would like to save the killing of the royal Russian family, the Romanovs. The affects of that and the Bolshevik Revolution were exponential. Think what would have been different if communism never came about.

[ChiTown33]

King Leonidas's last stand with the 300 Spartans vs. The Persians.
Or
Alexander the great at Gaugamela.
40k Greeks against allegedly 1 million Persians

The Greeks had a habit of embellishing. I'd like to see with my own eye truly how lopsided these battles were.

[ChrisMaster69]

There are a few all battles.

waterloo
Agincourt
Battle of Tours
Zama
Kursk
Trafalgar
Spanish Armada Channel fight.

[BCRanger10]

1) The Resurrection of Christ
2) The Battles of Lepanto and Vienna
3) The end of the American Revolution
4) The fall of the Soviet Union and the Berlin Wall
5) The original release of Star Wars
6) D-Day

[AviatorTom]

If I could travel back in time and just be an observer, I'd love to see Cornwallis defeat and surrender at Yorktown in 1781 that effectively ended the American Revolutionary War and created an independent United States of America.

[MCheetah]

Future Historical Event: The collapse of the Chinese Communist Party.

[the29thhuman]

Terra-cotta soldiers (The ones that are standing made of stone)

[dtweed1996]

I’d like to witness the last day before the u. s became a union because I never understood the landing when the u. s was 13 colonies

[Northernlights25]

How could I possible choose. The Punic Wars, Alexander the Great at the Battle of Gaugamela, the Viking siege of Paris, the Crusades. Too many to count.

[FTnWo]

That is a really tough one because their are so many to choose from, I'd kinda like to see how the British hit us with everything they had and yet that flag was still standing

[EnglishEuropean]

I mean history is unfolding in front of our eyes as we speak but maybe the Battle of Britain 1940.https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y0t-RqjMH-A

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

When God parted the Red Sea. Cool miracle to have witnessed.

[Kriss46]

What really happened in the Dyatlov pass incident or how Unsinkable Sam went all the way from Germany to Britain can't choose

[Likes2drive]

The coming of Christ
The building of Stonehenge
industrial revolution

[Old_Golden]

The burning of the library of Alexandria so I could save some books

[najekim]

Back when 4 different Human species were alive at the same time.

[Solstraale]

Berlin wall being teared down

[ALewis30]

MLK Jr's Speech 1967, Woodstock 1969 or, Band Aid 1985.

[Mediterraneansoul]
