MAJOR EVENTS OF 2013

In this essay I’ll be telling the major events of 2013 which I think changed the face of the

earth. Bad things happened during the year of 2013 and that really changed the way the world

will operate.

One major event was the death of Nelson Mandela. He changed how blacks and African-

Americans are treated today. He protested against racially that divided South Africa. He was

sent to prison for his actions. Nelson Mandela was there for about three decades. Once he was

free, he became the first South African president they ever had. He was a man very committed

for social justice and peace to be everywhere in the world. He died at the age of 95.

The second major event that changed the face of the earth was the Kenya mall shooting.

This caused for some people to die for no reason. This was caused because of terrorist who

probably had nothing better to do in their lives but to kill innocent people. Their families lost

members that were very dear to them. The shooting was a major event because the mall the

shooting happened in was a popular mall which had a lot of people in it everyday with tourist,

Americans, Africans and all the other kind of races were in there. After that security was

increased to prevent this from happening again.

Another major event of 2013 was the Spain train crash. This train was going 190km/hr

when it was suppose to be going 80km/hr. They said the speed of the train was twice the limit.

All the carriages went off the tracks and that caused for about 170 people to be wounded. This

was the worst train rail accident in Spanish history. The train driver said he was distracted and

this caused the crash to happen.

In conclusion these were some of the major events of 2013. They really changed the

face of the earth and how it will operate now. It might even probably change the minds of

people to help prevent or focus so bad things like the Spain train crash or the Kenya mall shoot

will never happen again.
