21st Century Turning Points in U.S. History (2000 - 2020)

21st Century Turning Points in U.S. History (2000 - 2020) have been the most transformative two decades in American history. America entered the 21st century on a high note. It dominated the world as the only superpower, won a convincing war in Iraq, the economy was flourishing and the Internet promised a whole new way of life. However, the tranquility soon ended with a terrorist attack on 9/11... An existential threat brought about climate change and deep political polarization. But it also saw the emergence of winner take all tech giants Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook and Tesla which ushered in an amazing time of technological innovation. In the political/social arena a black president was elected and social media redefined how Americans connected with each other. These two decades ended with a devastating viral pandemic which is yet to fully play out.
