or their mothers, right?

  Actually, in your example, Hitler's mother can't really claim she is the person responsible for Hitler's actions, unless she was there with Hitler as his senior advisor or strategist or something. Well, unless she specifically raised him (bred him?) to be some great cruel dictator or warmonger, in that case... or should we blame WWII on the Vienna Academy of Art, for not accepting him?

    Why? What does intent have to do with causation?

      Because the question was 'Who are the 100 people who most changed the world?', as in 'who are the 100 people who directly changed the world?'. I think this is understood in the question. Everyone named was directly involved in the change they made, as in they made/changed/invented/came up with whatever it is they did. So what if they had a mother? Everybody else in the whole world had one too.

      Intent doesn't have to do with causation. What I'm saying is that actually doing whatever it is that caused some effect does.
