>>1241674
crusades were a meme, I would replace that with the printing press or renaissance fulfilling the beginning, the middle and the end formula

darn
I would go for a top five:
Fall of the Western Roman Empire in AD 476
Establishment of the Caliphate in AD 632
Travels of Marco Polo in AD 1276-1291
Black Death in AD 1348-1350
Gutenberg movable type printing press & printing of the 42-line Bible in AD 1440-1450
To get the Reinassance underway you would also need the rediscovery of the Greek and Latin classics, but it was a lengthy process rather than a single event.
Marco Polo was not the only explorer nor the first, but he definitely was THE inspiration for all men of ambition looking to reach Asia one way or the other, and other exotic lands, the personification of the Age of Discovery to come.

1/3. Poor form, see me after class.
>Coronation of Charlemagne
>Battle of Tours
>Black Death
This list is objective and immaculate.
Black Death.
The catastrophic death toll directly leads to the social, economic and religious changes that shape the next few centuries.
