post count = date of event in history

[jahannam]

this should be pretty self explanatory.
this is my 1892-nd post. in the coming weeks I'll list important events in history corresponding to my post count. since it's christmas break, I'll have time and if I miss an important date (for I will be posting in other threads) please feel free to give us what you got.
works as a timeline.

I'll start with 1892.
-the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) or Hye Heghapokhagan Tashnagtsoutyoun (hoheeta) which was founded in 1890 in Tiflis, adopted its initial program in 1892: propounding the administrative and economic freedom of Turkish Armenia.
-Rudolf Diesel invents the diesel-fueled internal combustion engine.

1893 :
W.L. Judson invents the zipper.
It was a long way up for the humble zipper, the mechanical wonder that has kept so much in our lives 'together.' On its way up the zipper has passed through the hands of several dedicated inventors, none convinced the general public to accept the zipper as part of everyday costume. The magazine and fashion industry made the novel zipper the popular item it is today, but it happened nearly eighty years after the zipper's first appearance.

1894
Hamidian Chartehr: The Armenian Massacres in 1894-1896 were the first near-genocidal series of atrocities committed against the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire. They were carried out during the reign of Abdul Hamid (Abdulhamit) II (1876-1909)[hence the name Hamidian Charter], the last sultan effectively to rule over the Turkish state. The massacres broke out in the summer of 1894 in the remote region of Sasun in southern Armenia, where the government relied on the excuse of Armenian resistance to Kurdish encroachment into the last recesses of the mountains to order the sacking of the alpine hamlets.

1907
Lord Robert Baden-Powell conducted his first Boy Scout camp on Brownsea Island in 1907.
The word scout comes from the French verb which means "to listen." Armies have long used scouts to gather information about the enemy.
a scout was someone always on the lookout for danger. He also used outdoor skills and knowledge of nature to help him in his work.
and it is worth to mention here that in 2007 there's an international scouts camp on the same exact island, celebrating the 100th anniversary. and H.A.S.G. (Haiastani Azgayin Sgaoudagan Gazmagerboutyoun) is invited to participate!
