As we all know, historical figures played a huge part in the making of our history. Their impacts are hugely different from one another, and thus, they made the world what it is today. Here are some famous historical figures that shaped the world. Imagine what life would be like without them.

Without Issac Newton, we would discover gravity much later, thus delaying the progression of scientific improvement.

Without William Shakespare, the greatest plays and stories would not have been created. 

Without Charles Darwin, the science of evolution of all species would not be discovered until much later. 

Without Nicolaus Copernicus, people would choose to believe in religion that earth is the center of the universe much longer than it should be.

Without Benjamin Franklin, the discovery of electricity would be much later than it was supposed to be.

Without George Washington, America would take much more time to gain its independence, or it would still remain in the Commonwealth.

Without Susan B. Anthony, the women’s suffrage movement would never have made it that far.

Without Adolf Hitler, the Second World War would probably have never happened. The geography of European countries would not have changed during that time. The recovery of the Great Depression in the USA would recover much slower. NATO and the Marshall plan would never exist. etc. 

Without Robert E. Kahn and Vint Cerf, our improvement on the internet would have slowed, or never happened. 

Without Sergey Brin, our beloved Google would never exist. Or, it would take on another name.
