    1. They were quite selective, and of course some stuff are more oriented and selected by the country that views that event, I would have added the fall of the Berlin wall, and some other events , a lot of stuff has happened to us in the 20th century and we still haven’t seen the rest of it in the 21st century 🙂 thanks for your comment 🙂

      2. I’m a history addict too, and I would love our politicvs and some of our leaders to remember more or at least learn more from our past in order to go forward and make real progress, sometimes it seems we make two steps backwards for one step forward in our days , but that’s another topic to discuss 🙂
