Fortunately it will not be only the euro crisis that will consign 2011 to the archives of history Arab spring is certainly the complex of events that has left the most mark on the past 12 months and which, in addition to the turnaround in Tunisia from where it started, led to the deposition of Mubarak in Egypt andkilling of Gaddafi and the end of his regime in Libya. Where will it go and how will it end there Arab spring no one knows yet, but it will certainly enter the history books.
As shows the FIRSTonline gallery most important events of 2011, the euro crisis and the Arab spring are certainly the most important facts of an unforgettable year but not the only ones of great importance. Also the tsunami and the earthquake in Japan with thousands of dead and the end of nuclear they mark a turning point in the history not only of Asia but also of the world energy industry. It was also sensational the killing of Osama bin Laden which marks an epochal turning point in the fight against international terrorism exactly 10 years after the massacre of the Twin Towers. But let's not forget about the tenth birthday of bric (which became Brics in the meantime), of the consolidation of Brazil and Argentina in South America and discussed Putin's electoral victory in Russia. It also marks the end of an era premature death di Steve Jobs, the amazing Apple founder who changed our lives, while the media event of the year remains the wedding at the court of England between William and Kate.
Our gallery brings the turbulent 2011 back to life and many images will remain in the collective memory but, even when the curtain has fallen, let us not forget that in the past year Italy celebrated the 150th anniversary of its unity. An asset whose importance can never be appreciated as now.
