The Most Important People Of The Twentieth Century

It never hurts to look back at our recent history and try to say exactly which people shaped it the most. Whether it be good or bad, some people have had an impact on the world and how we see it today. It’s almost impossible to imagine our current world without taking into account what the actions of these few individuals have done to shape it.

Without further ado, let’s dive right into some of the most important people of the last century – for better or for worse.

Albert Einstein
It’s hard to imagine what point science would be at if it weren’t for the insights that Albert Einstein gave us. Not only did he help shape the world, he also helped shape how we view the world and understand the processes that happen on its surface on a daily basis.

Nelson Mandela
Fighting the apartheid regime in South Africa is always a good thing. He probably singlehandedly ended one of the worst atrocities to happen to the African continent, which is reason enough to put him on this list.

Winston Churchill
The man who is most known for standing up to Germany during World War II, Churchill will always be remember for his bravery and his no-nonsense attitude.
