Best Answer

Too many to list, but a quick few: The American Revolution, it established the United States as an independent country. The Industrial Revolution, it contributed largely to making the United States a more urban, industrialized nation. The Civil War, it divided the country both figuratively and literally over many issues, many slavery. It resulted in the greatest loss of American life in history, and established America as anti-slavery. Pearl Harbour, it threw America into World War 2, it resulted in millions of American lives lost, the creation of the atomic bomb, and the formation of the Soviet Union. September 11th, it resulted in the downfall of Saddam Hussein, a global recession, and the war in Iraq.
