What to Focus On

  • The Cold War ended in 1991 with the breakup of the USSR.
  • The USA emerged as the world’s only superpower after 1991.
  • Many believed the USA would lead a peaceful and democratic global order.
  • Terrorism targets civilians and civilian infrastructure.
  • It is a method of political action, not a belief system.
  • Early terrorist groups were often localized.
  • Anti-American terrorism grew steadily before 9/11.
  • The attacks spread across different regions of the world.
  • Civilian deaths were central to the impact of these attacks.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The Cold War ended because the USA defeated every opponent after 1991 and the new world order became peaceful and harmonious.

Terrorism is only violence by small rebel groups, not by states.

All violent movements are either fully terrorist or fully freedom fighters, so the label is always simple.
