What makes an event "historic" in your opinion?
"In your opinion"... means no wrong answers!
Have you lived through any events you'd consider to be "historic", by your own definition?

A historic event is one that people will study or want to learn more about 10, 50, 100, 200 yrs., etc...from now. My list of events I recall fit my definition. Read on.
Yes, I have lived through some of these events. I was 7 yrs. old when John Kennedy was assassinated. This was the first historic event I can recall. The assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Bobby Kennedy left an imprint upon my mind from 1968. The Watergate break-in in 1972 which led to Richard Nixon's 1974 resignation was big news for my senior year high school history class.
Neil Armstrong walking on the moon in 1969 was quite remarkable.
9/11 will always be a horrific historic memory.

Well technically any event that occurred in the past is considered "historic". Aside from that I'd define a historic event as one that is memorable and effects mankind in either a very positive or very negative way.
Good question because I keep rethinking my answer....but I'm sticking with it for now.
