X. ​1992-Today


(AP Historic Period 9)

In the long twilight of the Cold War, Americans recover from the economic malaise of the 1970s, see the collapse of the Soviet Union, and face the new international threat of Mideast cultivated terrorism.  As new millennium dawns, American society faces challenges to cultural social norms, as a variety of civil rights and social movements achieve greater acceptance and voice.
