The2000s (pronounced "two-thousands") was adecade that began on January 1, 2000, and ended on December 31, 2009.

The early part of the decade saw the long predicted breakthrough of economic giants in Asia, likeIndia andChina, which had double-digit growth during nearly the whole decade. It is also benefited from an economic boom, which saw the two most populous countries becoming an increasingly dominant economic force. The rapid catching-up of emerging economies with developed countries sparked some protectionist tensions during the period and was partly responsible for an increase in energy andfood prices at the end of the decade. The economic developments in the latter third of the decade were dominated by a worldwide economic downturn, which started with thecrisis in housing and credit in the United States in late 2007 and led to the bankruptcy of major banks and other financial institutions. The outbreak of thisglobal financial crisis sparked a global recession, beginning in the United States and affecting most of the industrialized world.

The decade saw the rise ofthe Internet, which grew from covering 6.7% to 25.7% of the world population. This contributed toglobalization during the decade, which allowed faster communication among people around the world;^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

Thewar on terror andWar in Afghanistan began after theSeptember 11 attacks in 2001. TheInternational Criminal Court was formed in 2002. In 2003, a United States-led coalition invadedIraq, and theIraq War led to the end ofSaddam Hussein's rule as Iraqi President and theBa'ath Party in Iraq.Al-Qaeda and affiliatedIslamist militant groups performed terrorist acts throughout the decade. TheSecond Congo War, the deadliest conflict since World War II, ended in July 2003. Further wars that ended included theAlgerian Civil War, theAngolan Civil War, theSierra Leone Civil War, theSecond Liberian Civil War, theNepalese Civil War, and theSri Lankan Civil War.

Presidential elections were held in theUnited States on November 4, 2008. TheDemocratic ticket ofBarack Obama, the juniorsenator fromIllinois, andJoe Biden, the seniorsenator fromDelaware, defeated theRepublican ticket ofJohn McCain, the seniorsenator fromArizona, andSarah Palin, thegovernor ofAlaska. Obama became the firstAfrican American to be elected to the presidency.

Incumbent Republican presidentGeorge W. Bush was ineligible to pursue a third term due to theterm limits established by theTwenty-second Amendment; this was the first election since1952 in which neither the incumbent president nor vice president was on the ballot, and the first since1928 in which neither ran for the nomination. McCain secured theRepublican nomination by March 2008, defeating his main challengersMitt Romney andMike Huckabee, and selected Palin as his running mate. TheDemocratic primaries were marked by a sharp contest between Obama and the initial front-runner, former first lady and SenatorHillary Clinton, as well as other challengers who dropped out before most of the primaries were held, including SenatorsJohn Edwards andJoe Biden. Clinton's victory in theNew Hampshire primary made her the first woman to win a major party's presidential primary. After a long primary season, Obama narrowly secured the Democratic nomination in June 2008 and selected Biden as his running mate. (Full article...)
