The way we think about history influences how we think about the present and how we see the world, as well as how we think about reality and our own futures. Engaging and understanding the world around us requires a thorough awareness of how history impacts the present and future. We tried to compile an objective list that covers the most significant and impactful events in world history, the ones that affected the globe more than any other.
Some events take place over a few years, while others span decades. Some had a limited impact on a particular country or continent, while others expanded across the globe and touched every continent. However, we have managed to compile a list of the most significant events in world history.
