Five Things to Erase from History

Mr. Gordon Sellar, of welcome to eclexys, posted this question a few days ago in a posting entitled Forget About It!:
    "You've been given the choice of having 5 memories removed from the world's collective memories. If you forget them, it will be as if they never happened. Which 5 do you choose?"

Without much thought, I'd choose:
    1. 1933 - Hitler's Rise to Power

    2. 1917 - The Bolshevik Revolution

    3. 1789 - The French Revolution

    4. 1453 - The Fall of Constantinople

    5. 1053 - The Mutual Anathema between the Eastern and Western Churches
