Decades

While reflecting on all the weirdness of the past week I realized that we’re in for several more decades of historical weirdness:

  • 2009-2015: The Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War (16 October 1859 – 6 November 1865)
  • 2014-2018: The Centennial of the Great War (1 August 1914 – 11 November 1918)
  • 2025-2039: The 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution (19 April 1775 – 30 April 1789)
  • 2039-2045: The Centennial of the Second World War (1 September 1939 – 2 September 1945)

And then it starts again with the Bicentennial of the Civil War.

Will anybody even remember the United States by then?
