    Christopher Columbus Discovers the Americas.

    This is one of the most important events in human history. It's up there with the Roman Empire, the Industrial Revolution and the World Wars in it's importance.

It was because of as many things are in history, spices. So be thankful you have taste buds, because history would be very different if you didn't.
