The Tuesday morning of September 11, 2001 marked the largest terrorist attack in the History of the United States, with effects that spread well beyond New York, Washington and the rural area of Pennsylvania, where the hijacked aircraft crashed.
President George W. Bush proclaimed the War on Terror, paving the way for two large-scale conflicts that resulted in the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives and the spending of several trillion dollars from the American economy and the affected countries.
The instability caused by the attacks and military offensives around the world created a radically different scenario than what Bush promised, where new threats emerged and peace through the Rule of Law crumbled completely.
