September Eleven

The Black Death

Israel is formed

In my Opinion, the most significant event in History is:

The Death of Christ

This is because it has affected the most people out of all the events. It has effected not only the two billion Christians in the world, But also all of those who have had conflicts with them.

One of the greatest ever political powers of Medieaval times arose from this event, and it has resulted in a huge amount of battles due to Religous Differences, and, from a Christian point of view, It is the event in which God himself came to earth.
