1689 - the British Parliament deposes James II, and negotiates with his daughter Mary to take over as monarch with more limited powers. This event marks the end of authoritarian monarchy in Britain, and the beginning of true Parliamentary democracy.

Over-authoritarian monarchy led to the French Revolution starting in 1789, and the Russian Revolution in 1917, both of which ended in the mass murder of the royal families, so it looks as though 1689 was a key event in assuring Britain's political stability for the next few centuries, by limiting the monarch's powers so early on.
