I rhyme with a word that could stand for a country -
A known event to a history junkie,
A weird relation to modern computers
I share beginning with angry refuters.
What am I?

A wild guess, but...
Defenestration
I rhyme with a word that could stand for a country -
Rhymes with "nation"
A known event to a history junkie,
A weird relation to modern computers
Defenestration means throwing people out of Windows
I share beginning with angry refuters.
Defense? Defenders? Not sure on this one. Deniers (as in Climate ...)

$\begingroup$ Correct answer! Nice job! Only the last line needs a little clarification. $\endgroup$– DomosedMar 25, 2019 at 20:39

$\begingroup$ Perhaps the last line is referring to rot13(qrsraqnagf/qrsrafr nggbearlf va n pbheg pnfr)? $\endgroup$– HTMMar 25, 2019 at 20:54

$\begingroup$ @PiIsNot3 I was thinking of rot13(12 Natel Zra), but that was the rot13(whel) not the rot13(qrsraqnagf) $\endgroup$ Mar 25, 2019 at 20:58

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.
shares beginning with revolters (or perhaps revolutionaries)

$\begingroup$ This is a great answer, although I question how closely your answer rhymes with the word you proposed. +1. $\endgroup$– El-GuestMar 25, 2019 at 17:49

$\begingroup$ I don't think you need to be a history junkie to know at least a few of these. $\endgroup$ Mar 25, 2019 at 17:50

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

$\begingroup$ This doesn't seem like an event, but it does seem to match a lot of the checkboxes. $\endgroup$ Mar 25, 2019 at 19:35
