I'll end it there. Some of these may be out of order dates aren't my strongest suit, but in general it should be accurate.
Its not a surprise that the United States Of America has had a large affect on the worlds history as they have been a super power for the last 60 years
60 years isn't really that much, but okay... Surely the US influenced the last 100 years but there happened many things in the several thousands years before
(im britsh so I only care about british and europes history not americas
That's funny, since America is part of British, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch history. Oh, and you're welcome. You know, for that part of America's history when we saved your butts from Hitler. But you don't care about that...

Er...no. While America was integral in WWII the British held their own for over a year while the American populace hummed and hawed over the idea of another "European" war. In fact, if Japan had not allied with Germany the Americans most likely would never have joined the Allied efforts in Europe. Furthermore, I'd like to point out that Britain was supplied mainly by the Commonwealth for the duration of the war.

Well way to be ignorant about your own history. Britain COLONIZED America!
The black death in eurpope it killed 60% of the population!
Err... Had the US not become involved it was very likely that Germany would have maintained control of the seas, and as such would have had sufficient ships to invade England. With so many British troops already in Europe it is very plausible that England would have lost a land war on their own ground. This is partly why the British pushed so hard for the US to land their troops in England and also why so many merchant marines and US Navy vessels participated in hunting and destroying the German fleet.

No-one saved anyones butts. Yanks have this delusion that they won the war (again) and Europeans have this delusion that we would have been just fine.
Hitler did far more damage to his chances that anyone else. He overstretched himself, was delusional and suspicious of even his closest friends and relatives. Hitler lost the war more than we all won it.
9/11 is not at all a major historical event. It's just that americans are super-sad that terrorism got to their doorstep. They still don't give a rats *** about terrorism in other countries.
