I'd say social change was #1. The rest is like newspapers -- important on the surface and in the moment but rarely as lasting in their effects.

I believe, that wars and revolutions are overrated. Take the USA - its massaged into its current format by constant influx of immigrants, into a fertile land with enormous raw material resources. The immigrants are not average citizens from their countries, they are a selection of more aggressive, opportunistic, desperate specimen. The others usual stay put. Our societies are formed long term by evolution through input of climate changes, overpopulation, search for gold as metaphor for greed and ambition. Look at Hitler, Stalin, Alexander the Great, Caesar (the first), Heraklit, Ghandi or Paris Hilton. I don't think, it makes a difference, that they existed or not in the long term. I am not so sure about Bush and Cheney so. (One thing will bring a huge change in the next 100 years and that is the transition of power from the desperate to it clinging white old males to women of all colors. For the first time in human history, the physically weaker, but intellectually more developed species, women - will take over power.)
