9/11 aftermath
The aftermath of 9/11 led to profound changes worldwide. The U.S. increased security measures, created the Department of Homeland Security, and launched the War on Terror, including military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq. These efforts aimed to prevent future attacks but also sparked debates over civil liberties, privacy, and international relations. Additionally, there was a surge in patriotic sentiment, but also increased suspicion and discrimination against certain groups. Overall, 9/11 reshaped US policy, security practices, and global politics, affecting citizens' daily lives and shaping international strategies for counter-terrorism.
