World Almanac's Ten Most Influential People of the Second Millennium
In 2000, the World Almanac published The Ten Most Influential People of the Second Millennium as listed by Pulitzer Prize-winning author and second-generation historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr..

Φ The inclusion of Nicolaus Copernicus by Unsere Besten as German, revered as a national hero in Poland, caused controversy, and was denounced there as reminiscent of the Nazi campaign to recast him as a German during the Occupation of Poland in the Second World War.

Ψ It has generally been accepted that Christopher Columbus was Genovese, although doubts have persistently been voiced regarding this. His name in Italian is Cristoforo Colombo, in Spanish is Cristóbal Colón, in Catalan it is Cristòfor Colom and in Portuguese Cristóvão Colombo. Columbus is a Latinized form of his surname. The Latin roots of his name can be translated "Christ-bearer, Dove". Columbus' signature reads Xpo ferens ("Bearing Christ").

Ω Abraham Lincoln is listed in The 100 as an "honorable mention."

The list has been criticised as being heavily biased towards North-Western Europe and reflecting traditional US Anglophilia.
