Can you name one day in each of the last 10 decades that stands out the most in world history?

Question

I mean this decade is a stand-out September 11, 2001.
What would the other decades have as their one day that whole world (not just the USA) knows all about. So what about the 1990s, 1980s, 1970s, etc?

Answer 3

Good question. I am sure you want the exact dates which is really difficult. So, I am thinking on the decades with leisure to see what I can recall of 20 Century historical events. Trying to make a list of the decades without the use of reference material.



Ironically, The 20th Century began in conflict with the Philippines declaring war on the US in which the insurgent conflict lasted until 1913 during which time, Japan defeated Russia. First time an Asian country bested a European one. Again the US is involved with an "insurgency." The first lasted nearly ten years. This one already into its 5th year. then, of course, 1914 began WWI. . . .



Definitely an interesting question for reflection. And then the 1920s brought the World Depression. Let's see. What else. . . .

Answer 4

1900s - Death of Queen Victoria

1910s - World War I starts

1920s - Wall Street crash, causing the Depression

1930s - World War 2 starts (unless you are American)

1940s - World War 2 ends, cold war starts

1950s - Rock and Roll starts

1960s - The Beatles, man on the moon

1970s - Margaret Thatcher becomes first female UK Prime Minister

1980s - John Lennon Shot, Reagan becomes US president

1990s - Princess Diana dies

2000s - 9/11 (you've got this already)



EDIT: I just KNEW an American would say World War 2 started in the 1940's - It started on September 3rd 1939 for people in Britain and Western Europe. The USA remained neutral until bombed at Pearl Harbour in 1941.
