George Washinton/Founding fathers in general - not only for founding the USA, but also for providing the democratic model that inspired the French revolution and democracy in Europe.
Napoleon I - for shaping Europe
Lenin - for founding the first Communist government, without him, there wouldn't have been a cold war in the same way
Beveridge - for founding the NHS and the modern welfare state, used in many European countries
Keynes - for influencing almost all policy decisions since in the developed world
Elizabeth I - at the time, had a huge influence over large parts of the world, and responsible in a large part for the British Empire
Henry VIII - as for shaping history, about the only monarch everyone in England has to study. Founded the Church of England and created the split from Rome
James I/VI - creating the United Kingdom
The Wright Brothers - a lot wouldn't have happened without flight, though it may have been discovered a few years after anyway
Einstein/the team at Los Alamos - the Atomic bomb has a lot of influence in history
Lincoln - for abolishing slavery
Hitler - WWII was a pretty important historical event
Archduke Ferdinand's assassin - ditto with WWI
That's about all I can think of, I'm sure there's many I would put but I've forgotten.Smile
For though he was master of the world, he was not quite sure what to do next
But he would think of something
