Events

Specific dated occurrences in political history: revolutions and the uprisings that began them, moments of independence, partition and state formation, elections, major diplomatic conferences and international proceedings, and civic milestones in the extension of rights. Organized into five subcategories by event type, from Revolutions and Popular Uprisings through Civil Rights, Suffrage and Founding Milestones, distinct from the broader movement or the recurring mechanism a given dated event may exemplify.
