I really have to say WWII. At that point we were at the nuclear age and humanity could actually, for the first time, truly destroy itself. I think Hitler also posed a greater threat to the whole of the world than perhaps anyone ever. Everything prior was a problem/crisis that just rolled into another problem/crisis that sooner or later would have been resolved. "Life would have gone on," in other words. There's a way to look at WWII, and America's decisive entry into it, in which it is the climax of maybe all of western human history to that point.
