    defeat of the Japanese by Korean Admiral Yi-Soon-Shin in the late 1590s (can't remember the exact date). If Japan won, all of Asia today would be under complete Japanese control. If that happened, Asia today would not be called Asia but "Japan." Imagine that.

    That's one hell of an assumption falcon22. Empires don't always last.

    The aryan invasion isn't that important, persian war is a bit more paramount since it decided the fate of partitioning the turks and europe. Big fan of socrate but no way is he on this list. Alexander was a great man but does not deserve this list either. Recently saw the movie "apocalypto", the only thing columbus did was arriving just in time to prevent a native from being beheaded, life will move on without America.

    You forgot to add television. TV is the single most important invention as far as i am concerned, its very influencial and informative. The internet is sort of following the same paradigm. In fact TV fosters two things on that list; language and democracy.

    Good deal. We have these new fandangled computers, we've got some cars to help us get around without the need to have access to grass and water to feed the horses. We're getting pretty advanced these days, and I find it all extremely exciting!

    Chatha:

    The Aryan invasions directly impacted languages spoken by over 2 billion people and the people they descended from.

    The Persian War decided the fate of Europe and Asia.

    Alexander the Great basically changed the shape of Greece, the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia.

    Socrates -founded philosophy-, basically.

    And Columbus opened the way for European inhabitation of the Americas.

    G.F. had a point... I should have written something like "space travel" for a more significant recent event.

    I may be breaking a commandment, but there is no Prince to reprimand me. Besides, this is a good topic.

    I don't know about number event but the polish russian war of the 1920 has to be up there because it prevent comunism from gaining a foot hold in europe (yes poland was behind the iron curtain domated by the ussr but that happened becuase the us and uk decieded to turn their backs on their ally poland and most countries did what ever theyt could to lessen solviet control and get out from behind the iron curtain) oh and for another big one the invention of the pointy stick

    Well there are some interesting messages here. However, the single most important event was ......Believe it or not Cooking!
    1.9 million years ago man discovered cooking increased the supply of calories. Our brains got bigger and the rest really is just history.
