[QUOTE="mirana, post: 10341236, member: 79705"]A major recession, Reagan and Thatcher's Cold War policies with extreme arms escalation between US and USSR, CIA training jihadists and Soviet war in Afghanistan, Soviet Nuclear false alarm incident which almost triggered full-scale nuclear war, Contras, invading Grenada and bombing Libya, Apartheid, The Troubles/N. Ireland Conflict, AIDs Epidemic, and (my favorite) the Satanic Panic... Obviously many, manyyy other wars and conflicts globally. Lots of smaller events through the decade that were horrible. Assassinations. Humans are gonna human. :( Kids are usually tuned out to most things unless they're experiencing them directly, but I remember worrying about nuclear war and AIDs and the environment amongst other major moments. I still have nostalgia for the good parts! I try to remember it all comes together though.[/QUOTE]
