Christopher F asked:
Someone asked not long ago for the ten most significant events in the world since 1993. Various answerers offered various lists, as you would expect. I’m telescoping this question into a period of similar duration in the not-too-distant past. Interpret “important” or any other words in this question any way you want. Thanks.
