Spanish Civil War (1936 - 39) precipitated by a military revolt led by General Franco against the Republican government. Inferior military capability led to the gradual defeat of the Republicans by 1939, and the establishment of Franco's dictatorship.
Franco's insurgents (Nationalists, who were supported by fascist Italy and Nazi Germany) seized power in the south and northwest, but were suppressed in areas such as Madrid and Barcelona by the workers' militia. The loyalists (Republicans) were aided by the USSR and the volunteers of the International Brigade, which included several writers, among them George Orwell

Ist and 2nd World Wars isn't bad for a start. Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo. Millions dead in the trenches. Treaty of Versailles and the reparations demanded from Germany which brought it's economy to its knees and paved the way for Hitler and the 3rd Reich. Holocaust. Building of the bridge over the River Kwai. Japanese excesses. Development and use of the Atom Bomb.

Be sure to add this to your list.......December 2, 1942, Enrico Fermi has the first controlled nuclear fission chain reaction....ever since that time, the world has never been the same. Every foreign policy has had the cloud of nuclear holocaust hanging over it....from that time on, global suicide and extinction of the human race was a real possibility.....true story.
