The World Trade Organization is in my artifacts because of their impact in keeping peace in international trade and helping countries all around the world.
9/11
On September 11, 2001 the terrorist group Al-queda hijacked airplanes and crashed them into the pentagon, world trade centers, and in a field in pennsylvania that was supposed to be heading to the US Capitol.
I used this event to further stress the importance of diplomatic relations between countries and the importance of world peace. The attack against America was ruthless and was even celebrated.
