The Russian Revolution -1917:

The Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan occurred in 1979 when the Soviet Union intervened in Afghanistan, leading to a long and protracted conflict. This event had significant implications for the region and the Cold War dynamics between the United States and the Soviet Union.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia was accepted as the successor of the state of the Soviet Union.

Attack on US trade towers -  2001

On 11 September 2001, nineteen hijackers hailing from a number of Arab countries took control of four American commercial aircraft shortly after takeoff and flew them into important buildings in the US. One airliner each crashed into the North and South Towers of the World Trade Centre in New York. A third aircraft crashed into the Pentagon building in Arlington, Virginia, where the US Defence Department is headquartered. The fourth aircraft, presumably bound for the Capitol building of the US Congress, came down in a field in Pennsylvania. The attacks have come to be known as “9/11”.
