I wanna be historically aware. What are some extremely important events that I should know about and can somebody link me to some online lessons?

Germany isn't a real country and has no right to exist
>>366764
That time Commodus fought a midget in the Circus Maximus was pretty dope
>>366771
Sounds like a troll, but this is in many ways true.
>>366764
countries that aren't 1000 years old have no rights to exist
>>366784
Not a troll I want to look like a pseudo-intellectual and know about the history of humanity (preferable AD, not too interested in ancient civilizations).
>>366784
It could be argued for every country that exists today through the unification of smaller states
>>366771
Go away Edward, you've been dead for decades.
Buy yourself an encyclopedia on history.
>>366791
But German unification is way too modern and a unified Germany poses a lot of threats to Europe
>>366809
Italy is only ten years younger and they didn't even have the benefit of being part of a 1000 year long cultural union
>>366820
USSR
Peter the great
Catherine the great
Kievan rus
>>366822
But a unified Italy poses no threat to europe

As in the unification of the principalities into Russia?
Probably the Northern Crusades and the wars against the Mongols.
>>366841
Any strong country with expansionistic intentions poses a threat to the status quo. Napoleon wasn't a german soldier.
>>366963
Economically, Germany United is too big to be just another European country but too small to be a regional hegemon. It sours german foreign policy indefinitely
>>366764
You don't become aware through "events," but rather through broad and deep reading of high quality books supplemented by journal articles and documentaries and works of fiction from and about the era.
>>366993
Pretty simple solution to that. Give the Rheinland to France, give Bavaria independence.
>>366771
Fight me IRL.
>>367860
>Rhineland to France
>giving an ethnically german area to france
>>367924
Give it a couple of decades and it won't be ethnically German anymore. Plus, the Rhine is the natural geographic border of France.
>>367927
>muh natural borders
Louis XIV pls
>>367927
>the natural geographic border of France.
Fuck off
>>367927
frog detected
>>366993
isnt it essentially dictated by eu/nato policy anyways?
>>366764
Reading about the cold war will fill you in pretty well on the world's current state.
>>366771
>yfw Germany as a unified country is less than 30 years old
>>366764
The teaching company has loads of lectures you can buy (or pirate)
>>366764
Here's my high school US History teacher giving essentially the entire APUSH course:
