Well as a 14 year old boy, Joseph Smith was searching which church to join. He went to many many churches and after reading James 1:5 he decided to ask God himself which church he should join. Young Joseph went into a grove miles away from home and knelt down to ask God. When he began to pray a dark spirit (the devil) came upon Joseph and he felt as though he was being completely taken over. He called upon God to save him, and as he did, a light appeared and in the light were the 2 personages. These 2 personages were God the Eternal Father and Jesus Christ, who then told Joseph to join none of the churches and that the restored gospel of Jesus Christ would be brought forth again through Joseph Smith.
Long story short, the Major event that Joseph Smith did... was restore the true gospel of Jesus Christ.
