Look, this exercise gives you the freedom to choose any historical event.
A historical event is something that marks the existence of humanity in some way. It may be the election of a president, the rapprochement between enemy countries (like Korea), it can be a scientific discovery, the cure of a disease, a sporting event like the Olympics. It could be the fall of the Berlin wall.
Anyway, it has a multitude of possibilities!

Good luck!
