1) the nuclear bomb, which dominated postwar politics.

2) Hitler invading Russia, which destroyed Germany as a great power, allowed Russia to emerge as a great power, and resulted in the Iron Curtain and virtually all postwar conflict.

3) The transfer of all the wealth of the European colonial powers to the USA. Untouched by war but rich from selling weapons to the winners, the US became the world's most powerful nation while Britian ended up broke and the rest of Europe smashed to bits.

The most important thing to come out of the war is so subtle that most people aren't even aware of it. The fact is, big business learned how to control this nation. They learned how to manipulate politicians for their own gain and they learned how to manipulate the work force. Employing women at half the wages of men was a simple sell. Women were enticed with independence and the government was sold on having additional tax revenue. Every scare tactic and every fanatical movement has big business at its root. Our current immigration problem was fostered by moguls and politicians are frankly too scared to do anything about it. Has anyone ever wondered why a politician blows millions to get a job that only pays thousands? The days of Andrew Carneige are over. World War II made a lot of businessmen wealthy and powerful, and they intend to stay that way, even if it means cuttin' granny's throat.

There were several but I think the first was the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese. This gave the USA a clear path into the war regardless of the isolationists. Another was when old Adolph screwed up and invaded Russia. Another was D Day. Another was the defeat of the Germans at the battle of the bulge. Tell me, how does one determine which of these were the MOST IMPORTANT. They were all important.

In tactical terms, in the Pacific, the Battle of Midway, where the Japanese navy was defeated for the first time. This was the first victory for America in the Pacific, and spelled the eventual end for Japan.

Western front was D-day
Eastern front was stalingrad, that was the end for Germany, although hitler got a second shot at Kursk, there was bad morale due to Stalingrad...

In terms of change, the nuclear bomb, no sweat...
