A brief summary of strangeness milestones is followed by a chemical nonequilibrium statistical hadronization analysis of strangeness results at SPS and RHIC. Strange particle production in AA interactions at GeV can be understood consistently as originating from the deconfined quark–gluon plasma (QGP) in a sudden hadronization process. Onset of QGP formation as function of energy is placed in the beam energy interval 10–30 A GeV/ c . Strangeness anomalies at LHC are described.
