Base of key events of mankind

Question

data mining

Good time,
I'm interested in the following question: where can I find open data on various events in history, such as the largest wars, the most significant epidemics, etc.? I am engaged in methods of predicting the future, something is working, but I need as much data as possible for statistics. It can be in any form, even a web page, I will parse it.
I suspect that there is no centralized database in the public domain, but maybe someone knows where to find at least part of it? So far, I have been able to find only crumbs, for example, on Wikipedia - a list of the largest epidemics, a list of the most destructive earthquakes, etc. Few, very few.

Let me clarify a number of points:
0. We are talking about the entire planet, not just tied to Russia.
1. The period of history - the more the better, but the last couple of centuries are of the greatest interest.
2. Type of events - again, any significant from the point of view of humanity itself, both negative (wars, all types of cataclysms, man-made disasters, economic crises, political crises, revolutions) and positive (discoveries that changed the world, the end of wars and conflicts etc.). The main thing is that the data should be divided into groups of events.
3. Whenever possible, metrics are needed to sort events by importance, which will make it possible to make several levels of detail (10 wars with the highest number of losses, 20 wars, 30 wars ...). Yes, for discoveries in science or the emergence of social movements, this will no longer work.

I will be grateful for the tips)

Answer 1

Where to find in the form of a base I do not know. But the wiki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1792 has a good description for each year. In the English version, the data is superbly structured and can be parsed automatically. By searching for keywords - I think you can make a similar base in the draft.
I think if you look carefully and make a good list of keyword coefficients, you can also make the importance of events. You can also use the event citation index in search engines.
In short, it’s quite possible to pull it off the wiki. If you need specific advice - write.

Answer 2

Of course, you can’t argue with the wiki, but there is also this - www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001196.html , more concise

Answer 3

Once I watched a series of films from the BBC 100 days that changed the course of history, there are all the most important events of the twentieth and nineteenth centuries.
