51 Lesser-Known But Significant Events That Most People Have Never Heard Of

ADVERTISEMENT

It’s no secret — fighting boredom is our specialty, and we recognized a long time ago that learning new and interesting insights about the world is the best way to do it. As history buffs, we love delving into remarkable moments from our past and the precious stories passed down from generation to generation. I still remember everything my grandparents told me about World War II, and I’m sure you have stories like that too.

Even so, have you ever stopped to think about the lesser-known events that have had a significant impact on the world but usually go overlooked or forgotten — our schools’ curricula frequently silent accomplices of which historical events get more recognition over others?

More often than not, we miss out on some of the most meaningful stories simply because they’re not taught in schools. They’re relegated to a small section of our books, mentioned in a line, or not included at all. And the same thing happens every day outside of school, with noteworthy but overlooked events that don’t get covered by the media, usually for lack of sensationalism or because they occur in a country far, far away from us.

Time to change that. We scoured the internet for some of the most impactful events that are often forgotten and found a goldmine of information on Reddit. This thread asked users to share which events and facts, in their opinion, make up the world’s unseen history. Thousands of users answered the call and shared their knowledge and perspectives on moments of history — both contemporary and less recent — that most people don’t know. Despite how limited our brain storage can be, some rarely mentioned events deserve their space in our memory and to be told again and again to future generations.

By exploring some of the lesser-known but significant historical events, we challenge the often limited narratives we are exposed to. From the Tulsa massacre in 1921 to the ongoing civil war in Myanmar, we’ll uncover some of the hidden history and lesser-known facts that shaped, and still do, the world as we know it.

And a vaccine for Malaria has been developed using the same technology."

This is kinda incorrect... Yes the COVID vaccine was the first widely available mRNA vaccine but the technology has been in development and clearing milestones for almost 40 years. We just happened to have cleared a lot of them right around when the pandemic started heating up. Also to address the cancer thing that people seem to be slightly confused on. mRNA vaccines are basically genetic engineering. They teach the cells to create new chemical compounds and proteins, which is how the COVID vaccine teaches the cells to create antibodies. In the case of cancer, what's to stop the mRNA from targeting specific cells via the protein markers of cancerous cells, and then just starting the natural apoptosis process (cell suicide/recycling). This is why it can be an effective and targeted solution even though traditionally vaccines were a preventative measure.

It's a good thing this mRNA stuff is in the hands of people who care more about public health than profit🤣🤣 It's so beneficial to the masses that they had to bribe and threaten people to take it, then grossly underreported the horrific "side effects". We are so lucky that all those milestones were cleared COINCIDENTALLY at the time of the pandemic. And rest assured the rich DID NOT get richer off of the suffering of the population 🤣🤣🤣

"China, despite not having any sophisticated matching system, is the world's second-largest organ transplant industry in the world. Some human rights scientists noticed that in China one could get an organ donor with a 2-week turnaround. They thought, hmmm, the US with one of the most sophisticated match systems in the world, and the wait list is YEARS - math ain’t adding up. Well, they looked into it - found out there is rampant organ harvesting from political prisoners, and the “disappeared”. Wanna guess where the majority of those organs turned out to be originating from? First the followers of Falun Dong, and secondly the Uyghur population is China’s biggest source of organ harvesting. They were able to back calc how many people must be dying a day to hit that mark compared to in the US. 2 weeks for an organ match… for Uyghur-sourced organs alone the prediction is 25-50 thousand are being murdered annually. Many are being harvested while still alive so they can continue to be a “source”. The followers of Falun Gong? Even higher numbers initially (though this may have flipped by now). And people are claiming no genocide is happening. Bone-chilling."

I did google it at the time & discovered that I am not imagining the loss of the lightning bugs, but I blocked out any specifics from my mind, I'm so heartbroken. So, for any reasons or theories about the loss of lightning bugs, you'd have to google it, sorry. I can't even handle the bad news of it today :(

"From Madagascar and currently in Madagascar rn, I confirm this...

To give more info, we are your typical predatory government state, with high corruption, not a lot of development projects, etc. I am not a huge fan myself of donating money to NGOs as it is often a band-aid solution, that isn’t sustainable, and exacerbates corruption in countries like mine (source: my international development BA and personal experience). But having been to the south myself, and seeing how scarce the resources are. Supporting NGOs that actively distribute food while waiting for the government to take responsibility is the humane thing to do. I linked an NGO that I know is helping out by giving food to the south.

It’s in French: Action contre la faim [action contre la faim] action contre la faim.

The situation: Madagascar is bigger than France in terms of surface which is a fact that not a lot of people realize. We are a biodiversity hotspot, as diverse as Costa Rica, and the south is our very own desert. It’s hard to access, as road infrastructures are poor, and it’s a very dry area, we are on the brink of the first climate change-induced famine. And there is in general no infrastructure such as schools, healthcare, etc. Hope you have a blessed day, it’s so nice to see people care, and one thing that could help is tourism, it’s a beautiful country, I am hoping you guys can google the south of Madagascar, and maybe hop on a flight and boost our local economy. Jokes aside, it’s worth it."

I lived in Cambodia for 9 years. Sadly, most young Cambodian people don't know much about the genocide. It is not taught in local schools.

If we had one of equal strength today it would be catastrophic and, I'm pulling a number out of my a*s here, the death toll would probably be in the millions because of how much most of the developed world depends on power. Hospitals, aircraft, etc. That's on the more extreme end of the course, we get hit by smaller solar flares often and don't even realize."

We nearly missed a Carrington level of magnitude solar flare back in 2012. If it had hit Earth, society would just fall apart and millions I believe will die due to many problems. Navigation will be tough as our satellites responisble for GPS may be knocked offline so even using most of modern technology won’t do anything. Our power grid would’ve also suffered and estimates for fixing it would be really expensive. We would still be fixing up the power grid if the storm had hit us 10 years ago

"It’s not that people don’t know about Hurricane Katrina, it’s that people don’t realize that there are still people who live with its impacts, to this day, and many of their people might not have even been accounted for (Aka, missing). Many of the victims may have been swept out into the ocean, and many of them were bussed to various parts of the country. Many of these people were children separated from their parents, and never heard from again. let that marinate. I’m not saying this to spread conspiracy theories, I’m saying this because we tend to think that New Orleans rebuilt, that people died and that the dust settled.

They also don't realize that coastal Mississippi was the "unnamed land mass between Louisiana and Alabama where Katrina actually made landfall. Many of the homes and businesses were washed away in the surge, which reached 30 feet in Bay St. Louis. It actually broke the Interstate 10 bridge that crosses the Pascagoula River, which was closed for weeks, forcing the interstate traffic inland. The alternate route was Highway 90 along the coast, but one entire lane of a low bridge at the lower Pascagoula River was also washed out with huge strips of asphalt standing on end. It took me nearly two hours to commute the normal 30-minute drive to work for weeks.

A lot of countries absolutely depend on fertilizer from Russia to even achieve subsistence-level farming, mostly in Africa and the Middle East, but in India.

"The northern white rhinoceros or northern white rhino used to be found in several countries in East and Central Africa south of the Sahara. Since 19 March 2018, there are only two known rhinos of this subspecies left, which makes the subspecies functionally extinct. The two female rhinos live in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya and are protected round-the-clock by armed guards."

"Halifax Explosion also called the Halifax explosion of 1917 or the Great Halifax Explosion, devastating explosion on December 6, 1917, that occurred when a munitions ship blew up in the harbor of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Nearly 2,000 people died and some 9,000 were injured in the disaster, which flattened more than 1 square mile (2.5 square km) of the city of Halifax. Shortly before 9:00 am. Many people were blinded by the shattering glass everywhere. To this day Nova Scotia sends a Christmas tree to the city of Boston in thanks for the aid provided after the explosion."

"Almost every river that is being used for irrigation the world over is running deficits. Almost all of them to varying degrees of deficit. Some of them are being mentioned here like the Syr Darya which leads to the Aral sea, but Colorado in America is responsible for about 10% of the entire world's GDP. It used to flow into Mexico and now it's starting to come up short in Nevada. Much more geopolitically important rivers like the Nile and Indus are hitting much of the same deficits. As the climate is changing this is going to lead to literally billions of people being food insecure as the former flood plain which fed their farms disappear. Grapes for example come primarily from California and Peru. They are a very water intense crop. They will quite soon cost so much to produce that they will no longer be marketable. Foods like bananas or coconuts will be more affordable and take up their space in supermarkets. We need to remember the political upheaval of the Arab Spring that got started from an East Mediterranean drought. The plague and the lockdowns caused supply shocks we all still suffering from. Demand for food will be constant however the supply of the capital needed i.e. farmland, as well as the supply of labor i.e. farmers, is going to disappear in the next few decades. If nations don't start transitioning to green housing and net zero irrigation then there will be a constant conflict as we have seen the last few years almost everywhere."

"Chang Kai Shek intentionally broke the flood walls of the yellow river during the Japanese invasion of China in WWII. The Japanese were invading from the north and circling in on Wuhan, the capital at the time. Shek was advised that breaching the river should flood the invaders. This was an incorrect assumption. The yellow river in China has a long history of changing courses, and they failed to predict that recourse correctly. It instead flooded mostly to the south, flooding and killing millions, and destroying homes and cities. Also, the yellow river is very silty from the dirt in the mountains, and covers over a 3rd of all the farmland in China with a thick layer of clay, destroying the farmland for decades. This led to mass deaths and general lawlessness in the chunk that was flooded. Oh, and the floods didn’t even really bother the Japanese. They retreated for a little bit, took another path to Wuhan, and captured it a few months later anyway. So Shek just murdered millions of his own people in possibly the worst known backfire in human history."

“Babi Yar (Russian: Ба́бий Яр) or Babyn Yar (Ukrainian: Бабин Яр) is a ravine in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv and a site of massacres carried out by Nazi Germany's forces during its campaign against the Soviet Union in World War II. The first and best documented of the massacres took place on 29–30 September 1941, killing some 33,771 Jews. The decision to murder all the Jews in Kyiv was made by the military governor Generalmajor Kurt Eberhard, the Police Commander for Army Group South, SS-Obergruppenführer Friedrich Jeckeln, and the Einsatzgruppe C Commander Otto Rasch. Sonderkommando 4a as the sub-unit of Einsatzgruppe C, along with the aid of the SD and Order Police battalions with the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police backed by the Wehrmacht, carried out the orders.[2][3][4] Sonderkommando 4a and the 45th Battalion of the German Order Police conducted the shootings. Servicemen of the 303rd Battalion of the German Order Police at this time guarded the outer perimeter of the execution site.”

"Long-haul trucking in the US is dying. No one wants to do it because it pays poorly, and no one wants to get into it because the pay is really bad, and depending on which company you try to go thru the benefits are also awful. I knew 2 guys that tried to become truckers. One gave up because he said 50% of truckers are drunk or on drugs and he didn’t want to be involved when it comes out. The other got a job that paid way more than just driving a box truck around the city. It’s definitely going to be a problem when the current truckers are too old to keep going. Everything is going to get expensive and everyone will be super confused about why the poor got poorer."

We don't use trains for several logistical reasons. But this is why i think the major trucking highways should have self driving truck only lanes. Safer if the trucks don't have humans doing stupid things in front of them. But the trucks never enter the cities. They have a parking zone like a rest stop where a human driver takes over to handle the city driving and deliveries. Then it goes back to the parking zone and proceeds to it's next destination.

A series of famines that come about due to economic changes (collectivization of agriculture) in China between 1958 and 1961 ranged between 15 million and 55 million. The range itself is scary."

They eat it and poop out monomers, so to say, and afterwards the mealworms are still safe to eat so you don't lose them as a potential foodsource.
