I'd like to ask all flaired historians this: Within your particular area of expertise, could you describe/explain what you regard as the most important event/occasion/etc within that time frame?

Sorry, we don't allow throughout history questions. These tend to produce threads which are collections of trivia, not the in-depth discussions about a particular topic we're looking for. If you have a specific question about a historical event or period or person, please feel free to re-compose your question and submit it again.
