There are 5 choices to pick, they happened within recent memory in the last 75 years, and these world history events were indeed world-changing. But, the poll is which one is the greatest one. Note I cast the first vote (the 2nd choice), feel free to vote for one.
1. The end of WWII (May 7 and Sep 2, 1945) vs Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. WWII was marked with violence and horror: D-day, the Holocaust, Japanese vs Chinese, Nazis vs Soviets, atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and Japanese-American internment.
2. The first of 6 moon landings (Jul 20, 1969 and 1970-72) by US NASA - the first man was Neil Armstrong. But the space race began on Oct 7, 1957 with the Soviet space agency's launch of Sputnik I, the first artificial satellite.
3. The end of the cold war (Nov 9, 1989) by the fall of the Berlin wall to unify a city, country, continent, world and humanity, along with the fall of the Soviet Union (Dec 26, 1991), the USSR had the Chernobyl accident (Apr 25, 1986).
4. The terrorist attacks (Sep 11, 2001) on the World Trade Center in NYC and the Pentagon near Washington DC began the war on terror with the US armed forces in Afghanistan and then Iraq to deposed Saddam Hussein's regime.
and 5. the COVID-19 pandemic (Jan 1, 2020-) started in Wuhan, China and it spread globally over the course of 5 months, the biggest disease outbreak since the 1918 flu pandemic and the HIV/AIDS pandemic first discovered in 1981.
