What are some important history dates about the PC?

Important dates in world history?

• And the history of the Americas? Byzantium/Russian/Eastern European history? The Islamic World history? African history? And what are the most important in East Asian history? Okay, I know that's A LOT of histories up there (and I’m not expecting an answer to all of it, of course!) but the thing is the MOST IMPORTANT dates...no one ever seems to pinpoint the dates she's looking for. It's impossible to get an A. Thanks for all the help, ~I really appreciate the answers~ The time frame she gave us was 500 AD to 1600 AD...that's what makes it even harder :( If you actually come up with the dates she'll be looking for, I applaud you and will award you with some points...yay! :)
