Agree or disagree but what is amazing is that two of the three are related to Anglo culture (this does not mean white people but British culture for the ill informed). 1066 being the start of what would become modern England and Anglo culture with the Norman Invaders. https://twitter.com/ClastonB/status/1307869636743122944
The third obviously the first "revolution" to really change a nation for the better and give people liberty until maybe the end of the Cold War for a lot Eastern Bloc nations. And without the first neither of the following events are possible.
Say what you will about British Imperialism but the world would be more of a hellscape than it is without the Brits conquering a quarter of the world. Also note to end thread older I get & more I learn I think that revolution is a bad term for the United States's independence...
The better term and less often used is War for Independence. The American Revolutionary was birthed from the enlightenment like it's French counterpart but it was a conservative one in nature. It did not seek to completely expunge everything Britain had gave us...
It was based on many of the political principals that were popular in Britain at the time it's just we weren't being allowed to have those rights. We kept Britain's common law and emulated many pieces of their parliamentary government...
Thus War for Independence is probably the best term. @CottoGottfried
