A wild guess, but...

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.

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
