Crossroads in history aren't gonna be known for a long time. Most people wouldn't realize that the "now" is gonna be the most important thing of their life.
In late 1980s constituent republics of the Soviet Union started declaring sovereignty over their territories or even independence citing Article 72 of USSR Constitution, which stated that any constituent republic was free to secede. Nobody at the time realized it was the crossroad for the Soviet Union and of course, few years later, it collapse.
I can say the same for the Roman Empire, Persian Empire, Alexander's Empire, etc etc. But I'm not gonna research the facts into what caused its fall.
The point is, you can't just stop right in the middle of history and go, oh yeah, we're at a crossroad right now. Those kind of thing aren't known until few decades later.
