Depending on the criteria, these events might qualify for my top three:
- Soviet H-bomb
- JFK assassination
- Moon landing
- Nixon's resignation
- Oil embargo
- Reagan's election
- 9/11
- Great recession
- Covid19
The first item on the list is there because it, and the fall of China to the Communists were the two events I remember and halfway understood which had world impact. The others are fairly self-explanatory. The list is notable for nothing on civil rights, Vietnam, or feminism; those were less definable as events than most of the others (although neither the pandemic nor the Great Recession were less definable than the others.
