The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

It was just a copycat of the American Revolution which in turn was a copycat of the English Revolution.

Would you say it's the invention of an important object such as paper, wheels, electrical generator, compass, steam engine, or instant ramen? Would you argue that it should be the discovery of an idea, such as electricity, penicillin, or DNA? Or maybe wars, reformations, restorations, and revolutions?

For me, my personal choice is agricultural revolution, since domestication of plants and animals changed our civilisation forever, especially in regards to hierarchies, roles, and inequalities.

Sure, uh huh. Agriculture gave us bad teeth, Celiac disease, lower back pain, mice, rats, flatulence, and a whole host of other afflictions. And Akkadians and Elamites. Feh.

Well, guess I will agree with the initial part of the big bang since that is when time, space, matter and...everything took shape.

The obvious answer is sliced bread.

Other than that, probably defeating Hitler. I'd say that's very important.

I'd agree with the Big Bang, if not for the fact the title says "world" history, and the Big Bang was rather a long time before our world, or any world, existed.

Doesn't that feel rather unimportant in the overall history?

Most likely it's some decision lost in history that significantly changed its course, major events are rippled from minor stones thrown in the pond of life.
