Well, it sounds like you could write a book on the topic. How about if YOU decide how to break it out. I suggested a time line, maybe you could put something like that together? Choose the events or trends and the dates, put them in order from oldest to most recent. Other people might have different things to add to the same date ranges. Eventually it might be very interesting to compare and combine time lines between the two threads. I am hoping that there are some history buffs that are willing to chime in with general world events: the rise and fall of civilizations, and the like.
