Its actually that between 1991 and 2001 that we merely had a full decade of relative stability in world events. Crazy shit stopped happening for a while and we have collectively imparted that things used to be “normal” on people born after 2001 but they’ve interpreted their own childhoods as the normal years.
I see this said about the 90s all the time but really this is not true. In the 90s there was (not an exhaustive list)
First Gulf War
Yugoslavia war
Rwandan Genocide
Oklahoma City Bombing
Columbine Massacre
Los Angeles Riots
The Fall Of USSR (while on one hand a good thing it also cause so much economic decline, hunger, and excess mortality in the millions to many former bloc countries)
Somalian War
US 1990 recession
1997 Asian Financial crisis
Dot com bubble
Hurricane Andrew
1999 İzmit earthquake
It’s very common when asking any person what was the best period of time for the world for their response to be a period of time their formative years were.
The reality is history is full of horrid horrid things and nostalgia is a follie that’ll trick your mind.
