Socialist Event Time-line?

[StoneFrog]

I was wondering if there existed such a thing? I know it would be invaluable to people wanting to learn, with a list of some of the major events and achievements that the left has made. If there isn't one should we start one? With a list of reading sources that covers the event.

I already started a thread sort of like this, in which I tried to compile what I considered the 25 most important events in the struggle against capitalism in the last 150+ years:

Attaching sources will be a bit more work, but I will try.

Hope this starts you off! :)
