Most momentous International event in your lifetime?

I was alive for the moon landing but don't remember it.

As a kid, I remember being most impacted by Watergate and Pope Paul VI dying (and subsequently John Paul I being elected and dying and JP2 being elected).

As an adult, 9/11. Up til then, fall of the Berlin wall. COVID is up there I guess. Obama being elected was a source of great pride too.
 

Terry Waite and John Mccarthy taken hostage somehow stand out for me, I don't know why but when I was a kid it was always on the news, Also the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege and sending in the SAS and throwing that gas bomb through the window,


 
Bible John unidentified serial killer in the late sixties had a huge impact on Glasgow and the Central region.
Loads of rumours of who it was but the 3 murders were never solved.
Every city and town had a Bible John got chased by the police story at the time.
