5 historical events

My choices for historical events:

World War 1
Obama's inauguration
911- world trade center falls
First video game for public- Pong
the great depression

911- the al Qaeda attacked U.S. soil with consecutive suicide crashings of hijacked airplanes into the world trade center buildings in new york city. this took place on September 1th, 2001 around nine in the morning. the reason this event is so significant is because it started americas war on terror and sparked intense national pride for america. the enemy was such a confusion to america that it targeted afganastan and then moved to iraq. President bush sent troops in to find and take out "weapons of mass destruction" that were never confirmed to actually exist, and osama Bin ladden who was the leader of the al Qaeda and Saddam Hussien, the president/dictator of iraqi became huge targets as well, as they had involvement in the attacks. eight years later, we're still in iraq because the ilsamic resistance to the u.s.a. osama bin ladden has yet to be found, but Hussien was found and killed.
