September 11 attacks: 25 years of global political and cultural shifts
As the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks approaches, various perspectives reflect on the profound global and domestic changes triggered by the event. The attacks, carried out by 19 Al-Qaeda terrorists, resulted in the deaths of 2,977 people, including 343 firefighters from the New York Fire Department.
Politically, the attacks prompted the Bush administration to initiate the War on Terror, which included the invasion of Iraq. This shift in international policy has been analyzed for its long-term consequences on global security and state sovereignty.
Culturally, the event left a lasting mark on media and society. In the immediate aftermath, Marvel Comics published a special tribute issue of Amazing Spider-Man #36 on November 14, 2001, featuring characters reacting to the tragedy. In New York, the phrase ‘Never Forget’ became a symbol of national unity and resilience, though reflections continue on how the city and the world have evolved in the decades since.
