The near-consensus of scholars is that there never was an Exodus from Egypt as described in The Bible, in which case there never really was a great Israelite leader called Moses. Thus, Moses had no direct impact on history, but the legendary story of Moses certainly did.
Because the story of Moses is central to the Old Testament, it is central to the subsequent development of Judaism. And without a strong belief in a glorious past and their divine right to the land of the Canaanites, the Jews might not have survived the Babylonian Exile as a coherent group determined to restore what they saw as their birthright. The second-century-BCE Maccabean conquests of Idumea and Galilee resulted in the forcible conversion to Judaism of the local populations, arguably to restore the 'Promised Land' to Jewish ownership even if those Jews were descendants of Edomites and Aramaeans.

How will Moses be remembered in History?
The Bible tells us that Moses was the great leader who took the Israelites out of Egypt but was never allowed to enter the Promised Land, spending forty years wandering in the wilderness.

History will look at the sociological and theological bases for the story of Moses and remember him through these and also the impact the Moses story had on subsequent Hebrew and Christian beliefs.
