The most important event of the 20th century?

[Selivan]

The most important event of the 20th century is
1.
The Great October Socialist Revolution ...
in Russia in 1917
-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
Why?
The answer is very simple:
The entire 20th century is a confrontation between "Capitalism" and "Socialism"
All the other "Scientific, Military, Cultural" discoveries are just the consequences of the Revolution in Russia ...

The following:
================================================== ========
2.
The defeat of Nazism in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, when the Soviet people, having lost 27 million citizens, liberated Europe, destroyed Hitler, and also killed the "fascist ideology"

2.1. Victory in the Second World War 1939-1945 coalition: USSR, UK and America
(France included in this list by Stalin!)
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
3. The Americans invented the atomic bomb
This deepened the contradictions between the USSR and the US
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
4. Exit to Space
- The First Sputnik, which launched the USSR
- The First Person in Space, who was a citizen of the USSR
- The First Man on the Moon, who was a US citizen

The most important event in the 1900's was probably the defeat of Hitler.

The next most important was probably the fall of the USSR.

Thus 2 totalitarian states have fallen.

China and N.Korea remain as totalitarian states unfortunately.

Fortunately, the idea of Communism was preserved in China ..

And what is "Communism"?

By the way ...
I'm not a Communist, but I know Marxism ...

Pearl Harbor-1941--forcing the US into WW2 which started:
-- the greatest destruction and re-construction--ever...of not only cities--but also countries--politically and independece
--the rockets FOR the space program
--the hurried-advances-development of:
.....manufacturing/radar/farming--food storage/food preservation/flight/jets/technology/science/etc
--many wars between communism/socialism/etc
it still shapes our lives and the world

WW2 shape the world-
the Korean and Vietnam wars were shaped by WW2

WW2 was the impetus for scientific and military discovery---how do you figure otherwise??!!??

No, Jan III Sobieski saving Europe from Islamic Ottoman Turks in the Battle of Vienna.
