Answer 2

Do you need/mean this year only?

The USA election. Yes, the result is going to impact the world. Egocentric? No. The chosen man will take the country in vastly opposite directions. We all know that will make or break so much of the world's agreements/peace/etc.

If we go deeper into history, there are more important events. What year are you interested in?
