The class struggle which derived in the forming of a worker's movement during the middle of the 19th century, the Russian Revolution in 1917 which gave more strentgh and conciousness to the Worker' movements, World War I and World War II, which produced great structural changes in terms of country borders and generated great immigration movements, and finally, in my opinion, the Imperialist attitude of the U.S. in wanting to take over the natural resources of countries like Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as the will of its leaders to impose their way all over the world.

The surrender to German at he end of WWII marked the end of European dominance in world politics by calling time on the old European Empires and heralding the age of American trans Atlantic world order and Russian influence as a growing soviet empire and world power.
The dropping of A-bombs by the USA on Japan at the close of WWII asserted the USA’s technologic and aggressive advantage and signalling the beginning of the arms race and the Cold War with the Soviet Union
The discovery of DNA provoking new ages for medical, biological and social sciences
The fall of the Berlin Wall marking the end of the NATO vs. Soviet, American Capitalist vs. Soviet Communist confrontation.
The attack on the World Trade Centre towers in New York the act of aggression and violence by a fundamentalist, minority, Islamic group which provided American and allies with the necessary excuses to launch an aggressive campaign against non-conformist regimes, ideologies and peoples around the world in an attempt to bring about global conformity and subservience to the political, military, economic and social principles of Western Christian Capitalism.

You can tell the last person is really into history and political science!
Ok...not in order.
1) Sanitation/public health - helped many people survive the flu season.
2) The world hits 1 billion people. In 1999, we hit 6 billion; India shortly after hit 1billion people. Huge!
3) the information age
4) The car - huge changes in lifestyle and subsequently, the environment and our resources
5) civil rights movement - it sets the stage for a world wide discussion of rights

Starting in 1901 (start of 20th century) I would list:
1 The weapons buildup and alignment of nations in Europe and the resulting war (WW1). Millions dead, conflicts unresolved proving only victory ends war.
2 The failure of the League of Nations and Europeans to stop spread of Fascist and Nazi doctrines; LoN failures to stop Japanese expansion. Appeasement (all of it) results in continuation of first world war (WWII) and Holocaust.
3 Development of nuclear weapons/power. Ends war and shows science to be both useful as a weapon as well as being a benefit to mankind.
4 Cold War/Space Race resulting in man walking on Lunar surface for first time. Gives us all hope we can eventually get "out there".
5 Fall of Soviet Empire. Results in mass freeing of peoples and, hopefully, shows communism doesn't work (although people still try it).
