I don't think you can really narrow things down in this way. So let's get all parochial; 1708, the year that Abraham Darby I moved to Coalbrookdale and changed the iron industry (and ultimately everything else) forever. I spent much of my childhood near Coalbrookedale.

I say 1991 is the most important year in history.  Tongue
Agreed.  Me graduating High School was an amazing feat.

My answer is 1788 (or 1791).

480 BC was the year Themistocles truly saved the West. Without his victory at Salamis... I shudder to think of the consequences. The ideas we take for granted would be utterly destroyed, or would have taken a much different form.

21st C. = 2001
20th C. = 1945
19th C. = 1815
18th C. = 1776
17th C. = 1629
16th C. = 1529
15th C. = 1492
14th C. = 1302
13th C. = 1206
12th C. = 1127
11th C. = 1054

Rome's apex and collapse are important as is the rise of the Tang Dynasty, but I don't feel like doing anymore.
