Great debates can be made with alternate histories about most cases. Would love to hear some examples.

    Hastings, not even close.

    England’s history as we know it was shaped by that battle. It begat the true codification of England as not just a nation, but a Christian monarchy, unified, able to expand, which they hella did.

    English is the world’s dominant language thanks to that battle, along with many of well, the post-Roman foundations that most of Western civilization would later be built on.
