Title- The U.S Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
August 16, 1945, in effects to end World War II the U.S dropped the first atomic bomb on Japans city Hiroshima. The massive explosion destroyed 90 percent of the population in the area that was hit. Three days later the U.S dropped another bomb on the city of Nagasaki which was soon followed by the surrender of Japan's Emperor Hirohito due to the massive damage from the bombs.
I believe that this a important event of the century because it ended World War II which had a huge effect on many. Also this impacted so many lives and was a big cost made by the U.S. And I think that even today people in that area are still recovering from this damage.

Title- President John F. Kennedy Assassinated in Dallas
On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was traveling through Dallas,Texas were he was then shot by Lee Harvey Oswald. The shots not only seriously hurt Kennedy but wounding also the Texas Governor John Connally. The next day on November 23, President Johnson made a proclamation declaring November 25 to be a national mooring day for the died president.
I think this is a important event of that century because it was a moment where America lost its leader. It also was a wake up call that assignations can come out of anywhere. I also think that because Kennedy was such a popular president it effect so many.

On July 20, 1969 astronant Neil Armstrong was named the first man to walk on the moon. The famous words spoken as he took the steps were,"One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."The astronauts made the mission on the now famous Apollo 11.
I think tis is a important event of that century because it marked a big milestone for the U.S. And this was a mission that was so new and the first of its kind it actually work. It also change the way people go after their changes and motivated many to follow there dreams.
