The Terrorist Attack on September 11th, 2001
On September 11th, 2001, a horrific attack was completed by terrorists linked to an Islamic group that was founded by Osama bin Laden. Four planes were hijacked and flown into The World Trade Center located in New York City, and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. leaving almost 3,000 people dead. George W. Bush was president at the time where he soon later declared war on terrorism. I chose this event as I feel it is a pivotal moment for history. 99/11 created a shift in foreign policy in the U.S.
