Post-9/11 America

Post-9/11 America refers to the period following the September 11,, 2001 terrorist attacks, which significantly changed national security, foreign policy, and everyday life. The U.S. increased security measures, created the Department of Homeland Security, and launched military interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq. These actions aimed to prevent future attacks but also sparked debates about civil liberties and international relations. The era is marked by heightened awareness of terrorism, evolving security practices, and a shift in the societal sense of safety and national identity. Despite ongoing challenges, the country continues to adapt to a new security landscape shaped by those events.
