          Rhymes with "nation"




          A known event to a history junkie,




          The Defenestration of Prague

          Antikythera?




          I rhyme with a word that could stand for a country -




          Inglaterra, which is England in Spanish. Got this one from a rhyming dictionary, I don't know how Antikythera is actually pronounced.




          A known event to a history junkie,




          Antikythera mechanism is an Ancient Greek artifact




          A weird relation to modern computers




          It's considered an extremely early version of an analogue computer




          I share beginning with angry refuters.




          "Anti" as a prefix seems to fit this

          I rhyme with a word that could stand for a country -




          revolution rhymes (partially) with nation which is synonymous with country




          A known event to a history junkie,




          there were several prominent revolutions in the world history




          A weird relation to modern computers




          computer revolution: https://www.encyclopedia.com/history/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/computer-revolution




          I share beginning with angry refuters.

          Antikythera?




          I rhyme with a word that could stand for a country -




          Inglaterra, which is England in Spanish. Got this one from a rhyming dictionary, I don't know how Antikythera is actually pronounced.




          A known event to a history junkie,




          Antikythera mechanism is an Ancient Greek artifact




          A weird relation to modern computers




          It's considered an extremely early version of an analogue computer




          I share beginning with angry refuters.




          "Anti" as a prefix seems to fit this
