I believe anything that is printed.
You raised a tough question to answers, but in a nut shell yes they happened, they are factual, because they occur in the history books. Interestingly enough, if you look at each of your examples, all there conclusion draws the world closer to Globalization. If you were to ask "Why they happened?" like Why the Civil War happened? or like "Why Hitler invaded Poland?" or "Why the Stock Market crash?", then you just opened yourself a can of worms. Because they are so many points of veiws of the past and each with an invested ideaology, if someone mentions how he interprets the past his in for a long drawn out brouhaha over things in the past he had no control over in the first place. So you understand why I don't want to give any "Why's" things happened.
Why the Stock Market crash? Coffee

What are you rambling about? Did I ask you to give any "whys"? I just asked if you're willing to employ the same skepticism to these events that you do to the moon landing. What about the moon landing, specifically, makes you unwilling to say whether it happened or not? It is a historical event just like the ones I mentioned that you say "in a nutshell, happened" (what does that mean anyway? what about outside a nutshell, is the answer still as simple?). And again, because I am dumbfounded by this response...I never asked for "whys" Non-sequitur Man. And I never asked about globalization. Are you tripping?
