The First World War changed the direction of the century more than WWII. The Great War set the stage for the next one.

I think WWII was more important than WWI, that's for sure.

It depends how far into the past you consider to be "modern", and how wide or narrow of a window you are allowing for the word "event". World War II could be thought of as hundreds of thousands, or even millions of events.

Nope.
The advent of personal electronic computers. Not even remotely close.
You could argue the internet and I wouldn't disagree.
And soon(less than 20 years) it'll be none of the above as AI starts to truly grow.

Part of me agrees with you. The PC and the internet are such profound shifts.
But there is much more to examine beyond tech shifts... political and philosophical developments can be just as important.
I honestly think the Copernican revolution is the greatest single shift in any field

Most important event in modern history was the creation of the first nuclear bomb codenamed Trinity, which was the result of the Manhattan project. It began the nuclear age from then and a whole new field of science.
Yeah, the world would have sucked & be dangerous for half of the world's population if Nazis won ww2, but life would continue. Nuclear age has changed the world and potentially put the entire human population (and all life) on the line. Not only for bombs but energy, nuclear waste and future of space exploration/travel.
Either that or the formation of the scientific process. Problem is the formation of scientific process is not a single event so I can't really count that..

obsessed with WW2
1935-45 world history was too fascinating
the speed at which human civilization evolved, wow
on the grand scheme of things (science, technology, medicinal, political, religion), yes by a long shot the most pinnacle time period in human history.

true... but ww2 birthed the technology that ended world wars.
Nukes were the paradigm shift.
