1990

The year 1990 was like a super busy time for the world! It was the start of a brand new decade, the 1990s. Think of it like the first day of school, but for a whole ten years! Lots of important things happened that changed how people lived and how countries worked together. It was a year of big beginnings and exciting changes that still matter today.

In 1990, some countries decided to become one big happy family. Germany, which had been split into two parts for a long time, became one country again! It was like two best friends who had been separated finally getting to play together all the time. Yemen also joined up to become one country. These were huge moments, showing that sometimes coming together is the best way forward.

Get ready for a WOW fact! In 1990, scientists sent a giant, amazing telescope called the Hubble Space Telescope way up into space. It's so powerful it can see stars and galaxies that are super, super far away, even farther than you can imagine! It's like having the best binoculars ever, but for looking at the entire universe, helping us learn more about space than ever before.

Did you know that the internet, which you might use to watch videos or play games, was just starting to get going in 1990? A clever person named Tim Berners-Lee built the first website and the first computer that could share websites. It was like the very first tiny seed of a giant tree that would grow into the amazing internet we use today. It was a very important step for sharing information!
