What is the most important year in history

1993

1453 best year of world

1066

1492

Constantine

This is how I know Veeky Forums is retarded. There is no such thing as an "important" year. Every decision that a person made/makes has a ripple effect that will change certain courses in history. Certains decisions made may seem important but in reality more was going on in the background.

From August 480 BC to August 479 BC three battles took place that would lead directly to the creation of western civilization

Battle of Thermopylae
Battle of Salamis
Battle of Plataea

Had any of these battles gone badly for the Greeks (Thermopylae was a tactical defeat, but bought the Greeks time and was a devastating PR victory) they would have been subjugated by the Persians and gone the way of the Ionian Greeks, and western culture as we know it would have been snuffed out in its crib.

I suscribe

Yeah expect instead of Greeks ruling, an empire from west which worked much like the empire in east. Moreover, despotic monarchies with feudalism would take over most of Europe, which was a model that was similar to Persians instead.

Why

1162, Genghis Khan's birth basically reshaped the world and restructured social classes throughout Eurasia as well as incurred the black death

This actually

636. The 7th century in general.

~12000 bc

1992

Only highrank Freemasons know the importance of this date

1803

>Reconquista was finished, moors kicked out of Iberia
>Peace of Étaples between England and France
>Columbus becomes the first westerner since the vikings to set foot in the new world
>Tens of thousands of Jews are expelled from Spain
>Casimir IV Jagiellon dies

I can't really think of a single year other year in history that has that many important things happening at once.

Perhaps actually 1848

He's probably referring to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the independence of nations that were previously part of Russia.

Flawed idea in and of itself, but if we rephrase it to "which year is most important for the state of the world today" then my vote goes to 1789. No French revolution, no napoleon, no Napoleon means no Vienna congress, no liberal nationalism and no 1848. Without these there'd be no aggressive nationalism as that which led up to WWI, and I don't think it is very controversial to argue that WWI set the foundation for the 20th century and where we are today.

2016, screencap this

>1791
Mozart died.. so did music

You're kinda forgetting that these monarchies would eventually be replaced with the current western style of government we see in Europe. The kind that allows more freedom and democracy than any other style around the world. May not have happened if Persia (a despotic monarchy as you say) had conquered Greece and Europe.

Whatever year Jesus Christ was born.

1066, as norman bureacracy is what sets England on the way to being a world power

Hey you, you there. Fuck you.

I Would add the spanish grammar of Nebrija too, it is considered the first grammar of a modern european language

1348 --> black death

1453, 1066, 732

201 BC with Rome defeating Carthage, making them the undisputed masters of the western Mediterranean.

1867/8 are imo two of the most eventful years around the world. The events of which shaped the next 60 years for better or worse.
Prelude to 1867/8
This could work.

Alternatively 1330s had major shifts around Europe.

The persians werent going to subjugate them that hard, they would still have their freedom, their laungage, their religion, persians were known for being easy on their vassals. All the greeks had to do was to pay taxes, considering their huge wealth at the time, that wouldnt have been a problem.

The latest year, because that's the one year when we can try to fix things.

Either

>1066
French domination of England turned it from a backwater shithole into a relevant european power which later birthed the current hegemon (America)
It also changed English language from some retarded elven-tier speech into the romance language we're using right now

>1766
Birth of the current hegemon
Nuff said

>1789
French Revolution, which killed feudalism and basically invented nationalism, socialism and German unity, three things that would shape the next centuries

False

4.6 billion BC.

2016

>greeks in charge of paying denbts

Fun fact: he originally said this quote in 2015. So did Justin Trudeau. So 2015 is the most important year.

>All the greeks had to do was to pay
some things never change

April 20, 1889
The day our Fuhrer was born

2020, the year the world will look at anime for 3 weeks.

1914

4004 BC or Nisan 17, 32 AD. Hard to choose.

Why exactly?

What did the Normans bring us (the British) that we didn't have before?

I would say 1066 was a semi-important year in British history, not THE most important year in history EVER

They United Britain, and they sowed the seeds for the 100 years war, an incredibly influential conflict.

2014

>go

What's the least important year in history?

Current year

~33 A.D.

As far as ripples in the pond go, this was the biggest fucking stone.

>2016
>still believing Christianity was the cause of anything and the "basis of Western culture" instead of a mere symbol of political adherence that could have been replaced by anything else that would have been around

...

Easily 1492.
>Start of the age of colonialism/imperialism and of global empires, something that the World had never seen before. No more isolated cultures, the World became integrated.
>Began the Western Hegemony over the World, that lasts to this day
>Began the Great Divergence, with the West getting far ahead from the rest of the World on scientific and social development.
Sadly this era is coming to an end, and the West, if it even survives, will lose prominence to other civilizations.

Probably 1772 or 1789

1444

what a dumb question

>Easily 1492.
Ameritard detected.

>Start of the age of colonialism/imperialism and of global empires, something that the World had never seen before. No more isolated cultures, the World became integrated.
>Began the Western Hegemony over the World, that lasts to this day
>Began the Great Divergence, with the West getting far ahead from the rest of the World on scientific and social development.

What the fuck are you talking about?

The West was far ahead way before 1492 and CC discovering America was not that important and not the start of imperialism.

Where did you learn history? Oh america right.

>English speaking world...
>1066...
>The norman kings spoke a version of French...

They are pretty much blown out of proportion. Persian Empire was a loose unit that even if the Greeks were conquered would not have lost their unique culture and identity.

1914 pretty much most important year except perhaps from 1962, at least for Europe.

more like the 133 BC of america

>Current year man can't accept the current year

The irony is delicious

1776

1789. The french revolution is the single most important event in modern history.

>The West was far ahead way before 1492
>Europe being ahead of anything before 1500
Being raped by turks over and over again don't make anything advanced

12,000 BC

No, the French revolution was an extreme and barbaric form of doing what the Americans and English did in a much better way.
The French Revolution wasnt necessary to put an end to the last remains of Ancient Regime and Feudal economy.

1492 is the most important year of the last 2000 years at least.

why 1962

>mfw I understand that

1492

that was an inevitable nothing particular was decided then

>normies get off my ???? reeeeeeeeee

Maybe 312 AD, I know Rome went back and forth between Christian emperors and pagan ones but I don't think Christianity would have ever gotten as big if Constantine didn't do it first

>Bernie was Marius
>Hillary was Sulla
>Trump was Caesar

Really activates my almonds

The American revolution wasnt a revolution, stop comparing it to the French one
And no one cares if it was a barbaric shitshow, fact is it killed feudalism and birthed nationalism and socialism, thus paving the way for everything important that would happen in the 19th and 20th centuries

DELET THIS
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Any year from Hadeon Eon.

The french revolution formed the modern society in which we live in, the american and english did not. Read a book.

1914

1066 was the formative year for the english people and, by extension, the world.

I think year 0(not BC, just year 0) because without year 0 we'd have nothing :/

476

> because without year 0 we'd have nothing :/
K, retard

Prove me wrong, fgt.

He's right though. The west was already far ahead of the Middle East in that era thanks to repeated nomad rape + increasing urbanization and the weakening of feudalism, and it wouldn't be long before they also surpassed East Asia in wealth and development.

Of course if they never crossed the seas in search of an alternate route to India and East Asia they probably wouldn't have developed nearly as well as they did, so I agree 1492 was very important.

Also 1492 had some other important events listed here

we start with year 1

No. We do not. Year zero is day one-to-365(/6). Year one begins exactly one year following day one.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_(year)
"Year zero does not exist in the Anno Domini (or Common Era) "
Or are we all talking about a different calendar ?

For real? So they just skip an entire year?
Fucking bullshit, man. Year one it is, then!
Also, you're still a fgt.

When you count things, do you start with Zero?

The same principle applies to years.

I am a fgt because i only now it from a quiz in Persona 4
And not from any education

You're also a fgt because you're butchering the English language.
Also for giving a toss about what some loony on the internet says. Fucking fgt.
