For me it is the “fall of the Berlin wall” and the celebrations after the border openings.

When hitler killed himself in the bunker. I would have been fascinated to witness how a guy responsible for millions of deaths somehow considered himself the victim and was forced to commit suicide. He was an evil bastard and a coward unwilling to face the consequences of his actions.

Take his bullets and poison away. Let the Russians deal with him.

I’d actually prefer to witness a fair trial. Just because I’d actually like to know how he’d try to defend and explain what he did. It might have given us the chance to study him and what led to him becoming that way.

I’m pro studying people like psychopaths and sociopaths to better understand what it takes to be or become one to prevent horrible outcomes.

We should spend way more time on studying and understanding murderers and the source of their actions.

Why shouldn’t it count?

Because it wasn’t that long ago.

But it’s still considered a major historic event. The Berlin wall falling was even more recent and definitely historic.
