1901 — Australia’s six colonies form a federation
The Commonwealth of Australia came into existence when six British colonies joined in a federation. New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania became states under a federal constitution. The change followed years of conventions, political negotiations, and referendums about how power should be shared. A Commonwealth government took responsibility for specified national matters while the states retained their own governments and substantial powers. Federation established the institutional framework of modern Australia, although connections with Britain continued. The new political arrangement also excluded many people from full participation, including Indigenous Australians and others affected by discriminatory policies.

1959 — Cuban Revolution
The Cuban Revolution (1953–59) was an armed revolt conducted by Fidel Castro's 26th of July Movement and its allies against the authoritarian government of Cuban President Fulgencio Batista. The revolution began in July 1953, and continued sporadically until the rebels finally ousted Batista on 1 January 1959, replacing his government with a revolutionary socialist state. The 26th of July Movement later reformed along communist lines, becoming the Communist Party in October 1965. The Cuban Revolution had powerful domestic and international repercussions. In particular, it reshaped Cuba's relationship with the United States. Efforts to improve diplomatic relations have gained momentum in recent years.
