What is the most impactful event that occurred in the 1990's that changed the shape of the world to get what we have today?

I think it would be the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Nothing beats that because all of a sudden the US became a complete single unipolar powerhouse. All the nation states including India that had closed economies had to shift towards open economies as they realized that system was not working out.

You had McDonalds all the way in Russia. That is how you knew capitalism truly won over communism.

I cannot imagine any other event of the 1990's that shook the world as much as the dissolution of the soviet union.

Today that event still impacts the world as Russia in its present form is too small to fight for itself and thus fell into the sphere of influence of China.

Is there any other major event of the 1990's that had as great an impact?

The Ukraine Russia was today is the carry over of the soviet dissolution.

It will likely end with Russia dissolving as well in the end.

The dissolution of Russia would be the final nail in the coffin for the aftermath of the dissolution of the soviet union.
