It looks like no one at Babylon Bee knows anything that happened between the fall of Constantinople and the 20th century.
You forgot a couple: 1066, England mostly invaded by William the conqueror; 1845, Potato Famine mostly bad for Ireland.
Most people completely happy under Soviet rule, and almost no one complains.
Well, as good Medievalist friends tell me, Nothing much happened after 1500.
AD 1912: The RMS Titanic has mostly smooth maiden voyage across the Atlantic Ocean.

Yes, only insignificant events like the French Revolution and the Age of Enlightenment and the founding of America, and the Industrial Revolution, events which had no impact on the future at all.
Well, they would’ve reported that poor Henry the Eighth, a great romantic, fell in love. But he had some unfortunate marital problems with most of his wives.
I’m sure CNN would point out the fact that they WERE white women.
Yeah no kidding.
Thats what you get for not teaching history anymore.
1776-1787 - the american colonies break away from Britain in a mostly peaceful revolution
1861-65 - the southern stages fail to leave the union, in a mostly peaceful civil war
Ah, yes, the Godless Endarkenment, the French Reign of Terror (which inspired the Communist revolution), and the coal mine and assembly line enslavement of the Industrial Revolution, not to mention the wars and genocide of the 20th century, or the infanticide of modern America. OK, so the development of a middle class and of modern medicine are good things, but sometimes the spiritual and intellectual construct of the Medieval universe looks pretty good.
Can you PROVE that it didn’t happen? - Criswell (Plan 9 From Outer Space)
Britain and France play a mostly peaceful “Dodge Ball” match at Waterloo, Belgium! Germany was the Umpire. Britain won but Participation trophies were given to all.
1975: Cambodia has a mostly peaceful transition of power to Pol Pot. Eyeglass sales fall precipitously.
Love it...
Sure
If they were running “stories” on what a warmongering country the usa is
1937 AD: Hindenburg Has Mostly Pleasant Flight
This is brilliant: one of the most hilarious things I have seen in a while...
Thanks for posting it.
Those people at The Babylon Bee are talented!
