The First Black President Gets Elected

Barack Obama, who was slowly making his way up in the political world, was a respected Democratic senator of Illinois when he ran for President. Then on November 4, 2008, he was elected as the very first African-American man, taking on the role as 44th President of the United States. And not only would he go on to win in 2008, he would subsequently win once more 4 years later in 2012 for his second term as the leader of what is said to be the most powerful nation in the world.

The Death Of Osama Bin Laden

Osama bin Laden was the original leader, as well as founder, of the Islamist terrorist group Al-Qaeda. This was also the same group behind the horrible attacks on the twin towers known as 9/11. He played a huge role in the attack, and America searched 10 years for him, finally catching him in his compound in Pakistan where he was in hiding. He was killed on May 2, 2011, caught by one of the most undeniably elite American Navy Seals units, who brought his dead body back to Afghanistan for positive identification before burying him at sea, less than 24 hours after he was killed.
