It had to be when Jesus Christ died on a cross for our sins. That one man, doing that one selfless act, changed the world.

It all depends on your perspective. In the grand scheme of things our world is but a blue speck in a giant universe where all sorts of chaotic occurrences are happening all the time. That said, nothing since birth of the universe has been as significant to all matter in existence since that was the origin of everything in our world and that means everything in the universe was directly affected by this one event... Now whatever happened or how it happened is one of those questions that can be argued for an eternity and likely we will never really know but it had to be the most significant event ever.

In 1776, the colonies signed the Declaration of Independence. That led to the adoption of the Constitution that begat a country ruled by the people and started a whole movement for freedom that would guarantee to a great part of the world the right to worship or not. To follow their own pursuits without the permission of an overbearing king who insisted on being treated as if he were a god It inspired other countries to seek that freedom as well and the world would never be the same. The right to travel as wished, to vote for whomever the people thought best for the job.
Without that freedom the world would be nothing like it is today. That freedom spawned a massive movement of people who could pursue any endeavor they chose and so a great deal of research came to be that otherwise could not have existed without the freedom to dream, to imagine and to pursue those dreams.
Without that we would most likely still have a country ruled by a king or queen and we would be obligated to fulfill their every selfish wish.

The Nanking Massacre was horrific, the difference is it happened over around a 6 week period I would think. The Holocaust was also horrific, it happened over a longer period of time so it's used as the biggest example of such horrific events. Why would you be upset that people are aware of the Holocaust? It is used as an example of something we can never let happen again, so that something like the Nanking Massacre can never happen again too

It could be argued that the creation of this planet and the creation of life on this planet was the most important.
It could be argued that when eve bit the apple and launched humanity was the moment.
It could be argued that when Christ was born.
It could be argued that it was when Christ suffered in the garden.
It could be argued that it was the moment He was resurected. (gets my vote)
It could be argued that it was the moment the USA won its independance and became a country. (also gets my vote)
It could be argued that this magic moment is yet to come. When God comes again will be the most important moment in history. The reason why? Thats when we will at last have world peace which will put an end to world hunger and will offer us a chance to really prosper. After all we won't have so much government to support or military.
So if its all the same to you I will argue that the most important moment in history is in fact not in history. Its in our future.
If I had to pick just one and it had to be in the past and it had to be something that really changed things in a measureable scientiffic way. I would choose the invention of fire. With fire man has moved mountians and built civilizations. And destroyed tthem as well. Fire gave us men on the moon. Food that was cooked, and preserved. Fire gave birth to chemistry and most of the other sciences. Yes even the science of math can trace its roots to fire.
However I 'll stick with the second coming if I can.

I believe the single most important event in the history of mankind was when the russians first sent a man into space. Think about how amazing it is to leave ones planet. I you believe in evolution like me, then think about how animals probably don't even realize what space is. Even mankind, a couple thousand years ago had trouble visualizing space, and what it was like. Then we reached it, outside our own atmosphere, something we had longed to do for centuries.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. That says it all. Nothing since that time would have occurred and becomes moot. Have a nice day.
