The legacy of 9/11

On September 11, 2001, Al-Qaeda's attacks on the United States shocked the world. America responded with the War on Terror, a global struggle that caused wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. You will experience how this led to stricter security measures and far-reaching anti-terrorism legislation. Human rights violations also occurred in the Guantánamo Bay detention camp.

Impact on international politics

Terrorism became a major theme in international politics. This led to increased attention to national security, but also sparked discussions about privacy and civil rights. You will discover how anti-terrorism legislation in the Netherlands has been stretched and how the Jetten cabinet has plans to ban the glorification of terrorism. What political and personal price do we pay for security?
