Spread of Christianity
http://themedievalages.weebly.com/the-christian-world.html (both pic and Info) The spread of Christianity started in Rome. However it started in Judea about 2000 years ago. The Jews hated the Roman rule at this time and when Jesus came along he appealed more to the lower class of people. Eventually the majority of citizens followed him and the spread started to go faster and faster. Many people became a deciple and started traveling and telling about Jesus. -
9/11
http://www.history.com/topics/9-11-attacks I chose this event because this is one of the only attacks that have happened in the US. Also because I was alive for it. What happened was that members of an Islamic exterminate group crashed planes into the twin towers. Also the pentagon. Over 3 thousand people were killed. I do not know why this happened. As a result the U.S. government increased security.
