The 1990s

The 1990s was a transformative decade characterized by major technological advancements, particularly the rise of the Internet and personal computers, which changed how people communicated and accessed information. It saw the end of the Cold War, leading to significant geopolitical shifts and the emergence of the United States as a global superpower. Pop culture flourished with iconic music genres like grunge and hip-hop, and influential television shows and movies gained popularity. Economically, many countries experienced growth, but the decade also faced challenges like the dot-com bubble and the looming threat of terrorism, notably marked by the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
