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.

An Other for Ohio's Self. Cacti and scorpions and the sun bearing down. Desolation. A place for people to wander alone. To reflect. Away from everything. Gentlemen, a desert.'

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).

Quote from:   Martha Gellhorn for The Atlantic 1961
The unique misfortune of the Palestinian refugees is that they are a weapon in what seems to be a permanent war...today, in the Middle East, you get a repeated sinking sensation about the Palestinian refugees: they are only a beginning, not an end. Their function is to hang around and be constantly useful as a goad. The ultimate aim is not such humane small potatoes as repatriating refugees.

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.

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

"Under the rules of morality, we have no authority to force others to behave as we believe they should, and force American citizens to pay for it, not only with dollars, but with life and limb as well.  By the rules of common sense, the role of world policemen is a dangerous game and not worth playing."  -- Congressman Ron Paul
