LEAST Favorite Time / Event of History

[Saint Zanders]

Hi there again! Some of you may have seen my previous fourm post asking for your favorite time or event in history. I wasn’t expecting the amount of replies I got. To be honest, I ask these questions as a part of my project in one of my classes. I’m meant to reach out to forums and make posts, and since I’m not very social, I feel that reaching out through means of history makes it easy and doable for me.

So this next question is simple, as will the others to come after! What’s your least favorite event or time period?

The questions below aren’t something you have to answer of course, but I’m extremely interested in learning more about your least favorites!
• Why is the event or time period your least favorite?
• What are some facts?
• Whether this event is one that is “relatively good” or “relatively bad”, how do you think the world would have changed without it / if things had been majorly different in this event / period?

My least favourite event will be my death.

The event is my least favourite because it will result in me not living anymore.

It will change world for the worse. I believe I have a positive impact on it, and my death would significantly hinder my impact.

Do you mean as in a period of time I wold least like to be in, or as in a period of time I just don’t care about?

If it’s the former I’d hate to live pretty much anytime before the present. If it’s the latter, my knowledge of history is awfully Eurocentric. So my “least favorite“ is non-European/near east history, although I’ve been looking into it more and more.

I see. A very well thought out topic and explanation. Thank you.

Brexit

[The Emerald Legion]

The rise of Abrahamic faiths.

[Valentine Z]

The Rohingya Crisis in Burma. Nothing makes me more disgusted at my own country than this. Granted, there are many more wars and riots that littered our history, but this is just shitty.

I wish it would end soon.

The rise of Abrahamic faiths.

Yeah, that's a pretty harsh one. For me, I think I'm gonna say, the arrival of Columbus into the Americas.
It marked the enslavement/ colonization of the majority of the native population of one continent, and the genocide of another.

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

Rise of the Nazis.

Good one.

For me personally, the Great Leap Forward has to be the most hated historical event. Especially the part with the sparrows. People under Maoist China killed exterminated the Eurasian Tree Sparrow in mainland China, which, along with other events, caused a famine in which somewhere between 18 and 65 million people died.

18 to 65 million. Not counting all the sparrows. Totalitarianism - not even once.

[Marxist Germany]

The period of Muhammeds life, whereby he united the Arabian peninsula under one rule and formed islam; which would cause the deaths of millions of people in the islamic wars of conquest in Europe and India.

[Kasa Tkoth Sphere]

Tentatively nominating the Black Death, with the 1918 influenza pandemic in second place. Each likely caused more deaths than the entirety of WW2, and almost certainly more than any genocide or famine in history. Disease really sucks, guys.

This, except my death and not the sheep, sorry sheepie.

[Grotesque Spore Creatures]

Stalin's rule in the USSR. So many died (even though Hitler and Mao were bad too, and other leaders I likely left out)

[Samadhi]

The past two months since my brothers death. I've been having a hard time of everything. Nothing makes sense. And I feel like I'm wasting a huge opportunity because I can't decide what I want to do. I really miss him.

Sorry to hear that. And wasting time, it might also be time needed to grief. That is time hardly wasted.

Yeah but if I want a career I have to start now.

[Stellar Colonies]

World War 1 and the bloody shadow it has casted over everything since.

[Blistal]

The Fall of the Soviet Union, despite the nation having a grip on Eastern Europe and installing fear all over the world due to their massive amount of nuclear arsenal, the civilians of the nation did not deserve the catastrophic economic effects that happened throughout the aftermath of the 90s. Families were much worse off than they were pre-1991

Agreed. I'm astonished that there are still people out there supporting the ideas of authoritarianism and totalitarianism, given the horrors produced by those styles of governance.

But that's literally you.

The Partition of India led to the largest human migration in history as Hindus fled to India and Muslims fled to Pakistan. Millions were killed, around 14 million displaced, and it has exacerbated religious conflicts as well as the conflict between India and Pakistan, particularly in Kashmir.

Least favorite as in "horrible and should have never happened?" Nazi Germany, Great Leap Forward, USSR

Least favorite as in "one I really am not interested in?" I never really was interested in the French Revolution tbh. IDK why, just never really could get engaged in that section in history class.

Are you seeing a grief counselor? If not you should. It helped me get through my grandma's death when I was 16.

[Geneviev]

Nazi Germany, for obvious reasons. Everything that happened then was evil and I'm disgusted by my own ancestor's involvement in it.

I'm sorry.
If you need someone to talk to, I'm here.
