Most important year in history.

[afleitch]

Yes just one

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

1917

[Хahar 🤔]

ca. 2380 BC (short chronology)

[12th Doctor]

ca. 2380 BC (short chronology)

Urukagina being a figure that we have all heard of.


Anyway, I say 1944.

[Alexander Hamilton]

1775

[Хahar 🤔]

ca. 2380 BC (short chronology)

Urukagina being a figure that we have all heard of.

His not being remembered doesn't make him any less important.

[12th Doctor]

ca. 2380 BC (short chronology)

Urukagina being a figure that we have all heard of.

His not being remembered doesn't make him any less important.

But not being remembered because your civilization was wiped out does.  I really don't think much of a direct link exists between the rights he granted and the rights we have now.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Years are like potato chips, you can't have just one.  Let me start by picking the most important year of each of the past twenty-five centuries.

20th - 1917
19th - 1848
18th - 1763
17th - 1648
16th - 1517
15th - 1453
14th - 1347
13th - 1291
12th - 1171
11th - 1066
10th - 919
9th - 843
8th - 732
7th - 622
6th - 534
5th - 406
4th - 330
3rd - 212
2nd - 132
1st - 30
1st BC - 49 BC
2nd BC - 146 BC
3rd BC - 221 BC
4th BC - 336 BC
5th BC - 480 BC

Group this into blocks of five centuries:
16th to 20th - 1648
11th to 15th - 1347
6th to 10th - 732
1st to 5th - 330
5th to 1st BC - 221 BC

And the winner is: 221 BC: Unification of the disparate peoples of China under the Qin State to forge one nation out of many.

[??????????]

1066 set the stage for the state of the modern world IMHO.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

There's not such thing as most important single year.

[k-onmmunist]

21st (so far) - 2001
20th - 1929
19th - 1815
18th - 1776
17th - 1648
16th - 1517
All time - 1929

[JSojourner]

I'm not sure if it was 33 A.D. or not, but I would say the year Jesus Christ was crucified and risen from the dead. 

[Stranger in a strange land]

There's not such thing as most important single year.

Agreed. Also, I have difficulty deciding whether the American, French, or Russian Revolution was most important. It's further complicated by the fact that the Russian Revolution almost certianly wouldn't have occurred without the French, and the French probably wouldn't have occurred without the American.

[Tetro Kornbluth]

Whatever year Writing was invented. Or whatever year someone first came up with the idea of Private Property. Either will do.

[Mechaman]

64,998,665 BC, the year the dinosaurs were wiped off the planet by a bigass asteroid.

[ChrisJG777]

I say 1991 is the most important year in history. 

[afleitch]

1764 and the invention of the spinning jenny

[Lief 🗽]

4000 BC (or so) when God created man.

[big bad fab]

I'm not sure if it was 33 A.D. or not, but I would say the year Jesus Christ was crucified and risen from the dead. 

I second.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     1844

[Democratic Hawk]

31 BC

[k-onmmunist]

     1844

Out of interest, why?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     1844

Out of interest, why?

     It is the year Nietzsche was born. I was thinking about putting another Nietzsche-related year, but I couldn't decide between 1882, 1885, & 1886, so I just went with the year of his birth.

[Хahar 🤔]

I find it hard to imagine that Nietzsche is so much more important than anyone else that his birth alone makes the most important year.

[Vepres]

6,499,997,991 B.C. give or take a few hundred million years.

This was when the Earth was formed, without which none of us would exist.
