Which historical event do you think most influenced the world ?
What a great question ( given to me by one of my students) .
It is a large question to consider but I will give a couple of suggestions, the settlement of the Nomads, the American Civil war, the French Revolution and perhaps the Black Death devastating Europe. What do you guys think?
I think the invention of the printing press in KOREA is important (we made and used the printing press earlier than Gutenberg). Before, monks copied books word for word by hand, so making books was hard and grueling work. With the printing press, books became more common and cheaper. As a result, we can read whenver and whatever we like.
