Shitty, I had planned to do 1991 and 1992 if nobody else had. Then again, knowing this group, that was a pipe dream.

Oh, really, am I coming up on any important years? I'm not too familiar with the stuff of the later 18th century until we get into the 1770s in America.

You just missed the beginning of the Seven Years' War (perhaps the French & Indian War to the layperson), and you're very close to its end date. I won't tell you either; you'll just have to go and find out for yourself. :-B
There are also numerous important revolutionary/pre-revolutionary dates in the 1760s and 70s. I actually encourage you to go and find a timeline of these if you're interested in that era of history...it really helps clarify why and how everything went down the way it did.

That is far--very far--from the only ridiculously obscure thing I know about 'Saved by the Bell'. x_x :ymblushing: :-??

If anyone wants to read something fun about historical dates go to Google, type in French Military Victories, and then hit the 'I'm Feeling Lucky' button. Click on the only link that comes up, read and enjoy. Not exactly historically accurate but still good for some giggles.

You are coming up on the Proclamation of 1763. It was one of the first few royal decisions that incited the colonists' resentment of the crown, if I'm not mistaken.

Haha, I actually really enjoyed APUSH this past year. Unlike some of my fellow classmates. :D
