THE 2000s

The two-thousands was a decade that began on January 1, 2000, and ended on December 31, 2009. People remember it for many reasons. There were good times and happy events: the growth of the Internet contributed to globalization during the decade, because it made many more things possible. There were also difficult times, for instance the Global Financial Crisis of the late 2000s.

In the world of music, there were a lot of Rap and Hip Hop artists in the charts, for example, the American rapper Eminem, who sold 32 million albums, and Robbie Williams. In cinemas, the Twilight Saga was a big hit. There were five films between 2008-2009. Fashions were bright and interesting: crop tops and low-rise pants.

By the end of the decade, the world was a different place. New medicines and inventions changed people's lives. One of the most important event of two-thousands took place in 11 September 2001.
