History

What are your favorite "long century" dividers?

(see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_nineteenth_century )

Mine so far:

1643-48: Ming -> Qing transition, end of 30y war (treaty of Westphalia), Galileo dies and Newton born
1789: French revolution, dawn of formalized chemistry (Lavoisier)
1911-17: Xinhai revolution, WW1, Russian revolution, theories of relativity
2020-23: COVID, end of pax americana, AI passing Turing test

The big one is 1492-2025.
Though it’s more of a short millennium than a long century.
