Do you mean events, or just things? There are a lot of things that ment a lot for the world and it inhabitants. A small selection is below. Tell me if you mean this kind of stuff...
1
BOOM! Hiroshima and nagasaki. It introduces the cold war. Since this event the world knows Nuclear Bombs. Well, I know, the bombs were there before this event, but from then they were really active.

Computers of course, like, 'Death of distance', 'Footloose'.

It's hard to say something "changed" the world because that's relying on the thought that the world was destined to go one single path, a ludicrous statement in my humble opinion. That being said I think this was one of biggest things to happen in the world:
America declaring independence from England

Things that changed the WORLD. I mean, what did this mean for Luxembourg? Not much really.
Cars on the other side, are something the whole world uses, and so they have changed the world and can be mentioned as a worldchanging thing.

You do realize America has the only nation to break away from their mother country, survive a civil war, and still come out with the same government right? America has changed plenty of things, what if America hadn't joined in WWII? I doubt you could make the Luxembourg comment contemplating that enough. Henry Ford revolutionized the automobile industry, he was American, just one American I chose to name as an example.
America is a beacon of freedom, at its founding it was the only free country from a rule of monarchy. America was the nation in which the atomic bomb was created, as said earlier the atomic weapons changed the world.
Plus, the American revolution is what inspired the French to have their revolution (although that one didn't end well), so if you wanted an international cause and effect, there you go.

Yes, your examples are good, but I think that other nations did a good job as well. Or at least something that changed the world. For the Netherlands: VOC is the company that took Dutch indies and other parts of the world. The Dutch were the most powerfull in the 17th Century. The 'Beeldenstorm' took place in the Netherlands, which started the Protestant Church. The 'Poldermodel', which was an early version of democracy, of course somewhat different then the old greek one, but a more modern one. And, ever heard of Michiel de Ruyter, or Stuyvesant?
Just saying the US is good in what it does, but ain't no fucking holy nation, although Americans would see that differently in times.

Judaism and for those who say well its not so significant, without Judaism you don't have Christianity or Islam, so thats one of the main things if not at the top that changed the world.

I'm fairly certain the idea of Protestantism was started my Martin Luther, a German, technically I, personally, would give the credit to him then.
I never said it was.

You are right, he was a german, but he had succes in the Netherlands. In Germany he was not succesfull. Although he should get the credits, you should know the separate religion (or how I should call it) started in the Netherlands. Therefore I mentioned it.
