I think Hitler has made the biggest impact in the 20th century he almost destroy and race of people who are very religious. He curved up all of Eastern European and made them into Communist states because the Allies didn't want Germany to go to war again. He also caused the cold war; as the world for many years sat on pins and needles hoping against hope there wasn't going to be another war. He jumped started the economies of both Canada and the United States and made them into industrial nations after 10 years of depression that destroyed the economies of those two nations and other nations on the world scene at this time. He also was the catalyst to help return the Jewish People to the promise land and form the country of Israel. Hitler also plunged the world into six years of war which caused a lot of grief and destruction, but it forced the Americans to play a larger role in the world after that war to make sure that dictators like him never raise to power again.

No not Hitler. The person that made the biggest impact on the 20th century died before the dawn of the 20th century, Karl Marx.
It is estimated 100 million dead during the last century, with the cause of dead the attempt to create the Utopia Marx promised. Technological advances only increased the arrogance of mankind and made the dream of creating a perfect society seem like at last it might be possible.
History will record in the future that the during the last century human slaughter occurred on an unimaginable scale. And the cause of this slaughter was the attempt to create socialist utopias during the last century. Hopefully this madness is over.

You could make an argument for Kaiser Wilhelm II. He was the one who developed the Alliance system of the Central Powers and eventually ordered the invasion of Belgium and France. That drew a failed Austrian artist into enlisting, who was eventually injured in a gas attack and developed an anti-Semitic, ultra-Germanic world view. It also managed to kill around eleven million military age men and create a whole new world view which dictated more about modern society than you could ever imagine.
My point is we are all connected and we are bear some responsibility for happens in this world. A Second World War would have happened with or without Hitler because World War One didn't solve a damn thing. Sure things might have been different. Maybe there wouldn't have been a Holocaust for example. Who knows? What happens in this world is more than just the product of one man's evil. Back off of enhancing Hitler's boogeyman image. It does nothing to help us learn from that episode of unspeakable barbarity called WWII.

I think it was Charles Darwin.
Okay, Darwin wrote his stuff in the 19th Century, but it's full impact hit in the 20th Century. A lot of Fascist & Socialist thought was linked to poorly understood Darwinism. "The Master Race" concept is a misapplied understanding of Darwinism. Communism is supposed to have been the proper "evolution of government." And so on.
Modern medical theory is based on applied evolutionary theory.
The 20th century was the century where Science and Technology took centerstage away from Philosophy and Mercantilism and Darwinism led the way.

i think einstein made a bigger impact, than Hitler. Hitler started the world war II, but everything that happened afterwards to the creation of two super powers was all due to different indivisuals that had to cope with the war. So i wouldn't credit all of WW II to Hitler, just what Germany did and it did so much to kill people, but it didn't have an impact on the world as Einstein's theorys did.

No. It was Elvis Presley. Elvis helped to popularize the largest cultural phenomena of the 20th century, rock and roll. Though rock and roll has evolved since Elvis, how many people in the world have never heard a rock or rock and roll song? Either directly of indirectly, Elvis touched more people lives than anyone else in the 20th century and his influence continues into the 21st century.

Not, I don't . Not The Hiltler, The Jews is the one who made the biggest impact. Hitler got crazy because of their might in economy n science.
Hitler attack them, but he Lost. Some Jews go back to israel and get troble with palestine and arabic.
And U must know Jesus Christ, He was a Jew. His Taught has given effect in every side of life, till now.
So Jews are the ones
