Lenin, followed closely by Hideki Tojo.

Lenin's impact is really immeasurable. As much as I hate him, he really is one of the defining figures of the 20th Century -- an ultimate catalyst for historical events.

Tojo is because of World War II and the buildup, of course.

No Tojo, no American involvement in the war (at least not in 1941, it may have come later).
