Following the 9/11 attacks in 2001, one major global event was the initiation of the War on Terror, which included the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001.

This invasion marked a significant escalation in U.S. military involvement in the Middle East and had lasting implications for global politics and security.
