For my transition work into History A-Level, I'm supposed to write an essay on the following question:
“Which person or event do you think had the greatest impact in the creation of modern Britain in the period 1945-2007?”
I just wanted to ask for some suggestions of factors so that I can read up on them and know where to start. Thanks!

The Suez crisis, maybe. I remember watching a documentary about this and apparently towards the end of this is when Britain woke up and realised we weren't an empire any more.

Creation of the welfare state under Attlee.

Margaret Thatcher has shaped post-World War II modern Britain the most. Thatcher’s actions, policies, and beliefs resulted in a decisive reversal of post-1945 political consensus on aspects such as Keynesianism, nationalized industry, the welfare state, and close economic regulation. Instead, Thatcher promoted privatization, which has become her enduring legacy, as well as deregulation and flexible labor markets. Her efforts in establishing an enterprise society in Britain has had lasting impacts to date, with Thatcherism being the most pertinent force to shape modern Britain since 1945
