Hello,
I would say the end of the Cold War. We had a big stalemate around the world and crack pot fanatics were kept in their place or in the confines of their own borders. The end of the Cold War opened up a Pandora's Box and these demons have been let loose on the world and in good time may have biological and nuclear capability. This scenario is on going as has yet to be played out to the fullest but sometime in the future we may once again pine for the good old days of the Cold War where the world was dangerous but more restraint and common sense prevailed.
Cheers,
Michael

WWII - no question. It has changed everything.
We started with pretty basic aircraft and other technology and ended up with atomic weapons, radar, jets, guided rocketry, and much more... It also totally and forever changed the political and social landscape of the world... Human experimentation by the Japanese and Germans (and then taken over by the Soviets and USA) led to the massive medical advances we have now...
The list goes on and on.......
