Actually, yes, because on further reflection I will stick to the Seven Years War, which led to the English dominated North Americas which led to the American Revolution. If WW2 left basically the world dominated by Communist and non-communist nations, the beginning of the fall of colonialism and 3rd World nonallignment, the Seven Years War led to the ultimate spread of democracy. This was the major developementin the endingof the worldwide slave trade, something more pernicious than communism. Even colonialism had some good points in retrospect. Best JWC

Exactly how many people did it affect at the time or a few years afterword, what you meant by ultimate spread probably meant that many other factors contributed.

According to my mother Armagedon is happening now as we speak.
For myself I'd have to aggree that WW2 was the most affecting so far to date, my mother ( on the other hand) who can quote you every word , passage, verse, and page in the bible says that Armagedon has been going on for a long time now and we just don't know because we are all living the lie of the sinners world.
( needless to say the phone conversation I had with her that day gave me a MAJOR headace)
Also wasn't the cold war very affecting also?

cold war, yes very afftecting. Though there wasn't any actual fighting between the americans and the russia people. I do think that there were some smaller countrys around russia or somethings like that were affected with military force. yeah...

Maybe no actual fighting between us and teh Russians, but there were Soviet advisors in certain central American countries dureing the drug wars, and when I was on the Nimitz we came real close to cutting a russian tin can in half

If you are referring to WW2 as around 1932-1946 then no. However if it is WW2 from 1939-1946 then yes. However the Cold war was important but thier would have not been a Cold War if there was not an WW2 and there would not be a WW2 if the Great War never happened.

Ok then how about the American Revolution as the most affection ona world wide scale?
think about it, if America hadn't declared independence from England, Then we as a country would never have come out as the leader of the free world.
