Traumatic Events in History

A true story from the battlefield of teaching.

Me: In 1914 an event took place in Europe that would change the world. It caused the kind of global trauma that transformed the way people thought about themselves and the world at large. Who knows what event I'm talking about?

Students: The Titanic!!

Not 1914, not in Europe and not that significant. But there was a cheesy Hollywood movie about it, so they know about that one.
