Now that is a series of events which can truly be said to have consequences.
622: The Muslim era begins from the first day of the lunar year of Mohammed's flight from Mecca ('hegira').
1918: Tzar Nicholas II of Russia and his family are killed by a Bolshevik firing squad at Ekaterinburg, Siberia.
1945: The world's first atomic weapon is tested by the US at Alamogordo Air Base in Los Alamos, New Mexico.
Not sure which I'd pick out as the most significant - but each and every one has had an impact on the world I live in now.
