Its actually that between 1991 and 2001 that we merely had a full decade of relative stability in world events. Crazy shit stopped happening for a while and we have collectively imparted that things used to be "normal" on people born after 2001 but they've interpreted their own childhoods as the normal years.

I see this said about the 90s all the time but really this is not true. In the 90s there was (not an exhaustive list)

  • First Gulf War
  • Yugoslavia war
  • Rwandan Genocide
  • Oklahoma City Bombing
  • Columbine Massacre
  • Los Angeles Riots
  • The Fall Of USSR (while on one hand a good thing it also cause so much economic decline, hunger, and excess mortality in the millions to many former bloc countries)
  • Somalian War
  • US 1990 recession
  • 1997 Asian Financial crisis
  • Dot com bubble
  • Hurricane Andrew
  • 1999 İzmit earthquake

It's very common when asking any person what was the best period of time for the world for their response to be a period of time their formative years were.

The reality is history is full of horrid horrid things and nostalgia is a follie that'll trick your mind.

What about the African Great War?

Edit: ...and Sierra Leone and Liberia.

Yeah, it's less "stability in world events" and more so the west riding high off winning the cold war.
