What were the 5 biggest tragedies and the 5 biggest triumphs of the 1990s?panda

Tragedies:

-Hutus massacre hundreds of thousands of Tsutsis (sp?) in Rwanda.

-Serbs massacre everyone in the former Yugoslavia.

-Former eastern Bloc nations descend into chaos, organised crime and sex slavery due to crude imposition of free market.

-Failure of last plausible efforts to secure Israeli-Palestinian peace thanks to Hamas suicide bombings and murder of Yitzahk Rabin by Zionist extremists.

-Consolidation of religious extremist influence in many countries, from Pakistan to the United States.

Triumphs:

-Much poverty and starvation is overcome during the 1990s.

-End of decades old Cold War, beginning in late 80s.

-General post Cold War drive for a new, ethical 'world order' results in democracy in countries such as South Africa and Cambodia, the freeing of East Timor, the end of the brutal Pinochet government in Chile. Long conflicts are properly resolved in many cases.

-General economic prosperity in many Western countries, rising standard of living in emerging, newly-industrial countries such as Malaysia, Brazil, India and Czech Republic.

-Rise of internet and communications technology underpins much of this productivity, freedom and open-ness.
