Adolf Hitler
The results of Hitler's actions changed the world forever. Geopolitically, economically, and technically.
The United States transformed from a one-armed weakling, into the preeminent global superpower.

Could then argue Garvrilo Princip for assassinating Ferdjnand which set in motion WW1. WW1 set the table for WW2

So much good that did them. Western Europe is shipping them over in droves now.

Gutenberg, although someone else Probably would’ve invented the printing press soon anyway.
Gavrilo Princip is a good pick. Maybe WWI finds a reason to start anyway but he’s my pick.
Martin Luther was huge but he’s a religious figure. If we can say Luther then we can also say Paul.

Charlemagne is the correct answer- united and civilized Europe and stopped the muslim incursion into Europe from Spain.
ETA: Appears I confused Martel with Charlemagne as Martel led the decisive battle before Charlemagne but Charlemagne did continue the campaigns to drive them from Spain.

If Martel could see Europe now he’d wonder why he bothered

All books were handwritten and in usually only two languages (Latin and Greek). Only the most wealthy could afford them. The printing press changed the society and culture of an entire continent within not even two generations.
