Abstract
The terrorist attacks that took place in September 9, 2001 on the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon have radically transformed not only the foreign policy of the United States, but also
affected the domestic and political prospects of the nation. In this perspective, this research
highlights as well as evaluates the significance and the nature of major landmarks in the
American history starting from the bombings of 9/11. This study explores the conception of
terrorism, war, U.S. military and political response, and attempts to find convincing answers
to raised inquiries concerning this unfortunate incident, it also provides the reader with an
insight into the main alterations evoked by 9/11 assaults from various angles. In this regard,
and since the present research deals mostly with historical referencing, both analytical and
descriptive approaches are employed to fulfill its objectives. According to the findings of the
study, 9/11 was indeed a turning point for the American population alongside the government
from different aspects. In essence, military procedures have demonstrated a critical move by
launching the global “War on Terror” against Afghanistan and Iraq under the supervision of
President George W. Bush. Thus, the attacks have reshaped the political framework of
American administration in addressing both domestic and external challenges, leaving traces
and lessons that still have an impact up till the present time.
