2000s - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Thus far, the 2000s have been marked generally with an escalation of the social issues of the 1990s, which included the rise of terrorism; stress; the rapid, exponential expansion of economic globalization on an unprecedented scale; the rapid expansion of communications and telecommunications with mobile phones and the Internet and international pop culture. |
 | | Most major political developments in the 2000s revolved around the War on Terrorism, which was triggered by the September 11, 2001 Attacks and the Moscow Theatre Siege, and led to the American war in Iraq, the Madrid train bombings, the Beslan school hostage crisis, the 2005 London bombings, and the October 2005 New Delhi bombings. |
 | | Popular video shorts of the 2000s include Star Wars Gangsta Rap, D.R.A.F.T., and the SNL skit Lazy Sunday, which was controversially removed from YouTube in early 2006. |
