✦ Synopsis


So, you know about history’s biggest events… but do you know the story behind them?

Knowledge is power – we’ve all heard that before and seen it proven right. Because of this, learning a bit of history can help us not make the same mistakes in the future. History, after all, is one big series of lessons we can apply to our present to avoid repeating the biggest errors ever made.

The main problem is that sometimes history can get… kind of boring (sorry, historians!). But we’re changing that for good.

Divided into 54 incredibly engaging and well-told stories representing the biggest and most influential events that have taken place throughout modern history, The Encyclopedia of Very Important Events Through Modern History compiles humorous, inspiring, tragic and even disastrous stories that shaped the world to become – for better or for worse – what we know it as today.

Discover the truth that led to the most massive events in history, such as:

  • Isaac Newton and his apple – you know the story, right? But what if I told you the whole tale was a LOT more complex than simply a falling fruit?
  • You may be aware that WWI began with an assassination, but did you know that it was a wrong turn by a driver that set the stage for the world’s second bloodiest war? Yikes!
  • And we all know how messy a divorce can get… but what about a divorce that caused a literal religious war across an entire nation and set half the country on fire… literally!

This book will help you unlock the entire truth behind the largest events in history so get ready; it’s a fascinating read.
