Stock markets around the world crashed, shedding a huge value in a very short time.
United States economy began shifting from a rapidly growing recovery to a slower
growing expansion, which resulted in a "soft landing" as the economy slowed
and inflation dropped.
On October 14, the DJIA dropped 95.46 points (3.8%) (a then record) to 2412.70, and
fell another 58 points (2.4%) the next day, down over 12% from the August 25 all-time
high.
On Thursday, October 15, 1987, Iran hit the American-owned supertanker, the Sungari,
with a Silkworm missile off Kuwait's main Mina Al Ahmadi oil port. The next morning,
Iran hit another ship, the U.S. flagged MV Sea Isle City, with another Silkworm missile.
Just after the 1987 market crash was the gulf war in the early 1990s.
The main cause of cause of the war can be traced back to the Iran
war where Kuwait made some monetary help to Iraq and at the end
of the war Iraq refused to pay back the debt.
So in order to help Kuwait fight the war, UN formed a coalition
force of 34 nations led by the United States against Iraq in response
to Iraq's invasion and annexation of Kuwait
Now why did the US enter into the war can be viewed in
another aspect
It
The internet was created by the U.S. military Commercially the internet started to catch on in 1995 with an
estimated 18 million users. The rise in usage meant an untapped market--an international market. Soon,
speculators were barely able to control their excitement over the "new economy."
The IPOs of internet companies emerged with ferocity and frequency, sweeping the nation up in euphoria.
Investors were blindly grabbing every new issue without even looking at a business plan to find out, for
example, how long the company would take before making a profit, if ever.
Internet companies went bankrupt, moved out of their fancy offices back to the garages where they
started.
In the year 1999, there were 457 IPOs, most of which were internet and technology related. Of those 457
IPOs, 117 doubled in price on the first day of trading.
In 2001 the number of IPOs dwindled to 76, and none of them doubled on the first day of trading.
Conspiracy theorists believe thatb 9/11 Attacks were ordered by the bush government.
One way to approach this question would be to ask whether these attacks brought benefits to this
administration.
During the downfall of the DOTCOM economy, A former American think tank called Project for the New
American Century (PNAC) argued that it is necessary for defense spending to be greatly increased if the
American peace is to be maintained, and expanded.
Slow and Expensive Process
Demand of a new Pearl Harbour
The Bush-Cheney administration endorsed a document indicating that a new Pearl Harbor would be
helpful for furthering its aims and provide opportunities.
MORE THEORIES
Bush administration was able to use the tragic events to get through Congress a
$1.35 trillion tax cut, something that looked inconceivable before 11 September.
The relaxation of fiscal policy - coupled with aggressive interest rate cuts by the
Federal Reserve - provided a strong, immediate stimulus to the economy. The rebate
made consumers feel wealthier - in the third quarter of 2001 some $40bn found its
way back to them - and they kept shopping, spurred on by patriotic appeals to
spend, spend, spend from the likes of Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and General Motors.
