According to this news article, the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was the number one news story of the century.
Yes, I do think that the dropping of the atomic bombs was the biggest news story of the century. I don't think that there could be a bigger news story than this. The war was going on for so long and America needed a way to just end the war. The dropping of the bombs had finally ended the war. The ending of the war was really big news. But the one thing that I think that should have brought the most attention to the people of the world was the number of lives it had killed. It had killed hundreds and thousands of innocent lives, including women and small children.
On the list of events, there would be a few things I would change. According to this list, the Great Depression ranked #10. In my opinion, I think that the Great Depression was a very serious time. People look at America as such a great country. For it to go into poverty was a very serious issue. People had next to nothing at that time. I think that it should be moved up and be ranked as #2. Another event that I would change is the identification of the AiDS disease. This disease is very deadly and it should be taken very seriously. It surprised me that it was ranked #25. I think that it should have been ranked in at least in the top 5. Another thing that I would change is when Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier. This was ranked #44. This was a major change for the colored people in America. For years, colored people was discriminated just because they were different. It was finally time for them to shine. Somebody had to make a difference. I would put this event in the top 20 events.
