What was the most important single year after ww2?

1996 - year of the birth of one SkullsNRoses.

How long it take you to add that list?

Either 1969, or 1983...
The moon landing, a triumph of science and technology and proof that mankind's future lies among the stars.

Or the internet and it's following computer revolution.
Information available to you, everywhere, at the touch of a button. I'm leaning more towards internet, because it will be an integral part of any future mission into space and is the backbone of our modern way of life.

If this poll had included the WWII years, it's 1942... birth year of the electronic computer. So far humanity's greatest achievement.

Closely followed by the invention of the internal combustion engine.

The year I was born.

‘68 saw the RFK & MLK assassinations, the Chicago Dem Convention, the LBJ decision not to run, the election of Nixon, and the escalation of the Vietnam war. ‘69 comes in a close second.

Im gonna say 2001 because we were attacked on home soil and security all around went from being super relaxed to being very serious. I remember going to football games and there was no security you walked right through. Now you go through metal detectors and like 20 cops. Air ports are like a military base now.

They also started recording everyones info under the patriot act. They have a list of every civilians info they can access you emails listen to your phone calls read your texts. They can even watch you through your phone camera. Some TVs have cameras they can see you through that.

USA use to be very laid back and everything was off the grid so to speak.

I picked the year I met my husband

1947 when India was handed back and the great, British empire began to crumble

I no tell.

Well I'm an American and I could say years that were important in U.S. history but 2020 definitely changed the world. Everyone has been impacted by the pandemic throughout almost the entire planet.

None of them were important.

2016. The culmination of technology and social media's power. Foreign actors influencing American politics. The end of the Bush/Clinton era, the onset of Trump, the beginning of extreme identity politics.
