The 1990s or Nineties was the decade between and including January 1st, 1990 to December 31st, 1999. During this time, the widespread adoption of personal computers, the Internet, and the increased economic productivity led to the equity market booms around the world, and caused an influx of wealth to the United States, Europe, and Asia.

This decade started with the fall of Communism and the United Nations liberation of Kuwait, as well as the cementation of free market capitalism in many countries worldwide, both developed and developing. During this decade, racial prejudice against minorities lost moral acceptance in the West, and the gender roles for women continued/began to change dramatically in many industrialized countries as women assumed leadership and gained power in politics, business, and every other aspect of life.

Throughout the decade multiple attempts to solve the conflict between Israeli and Palestinian territories were initiated including a near settlement in the mid-1990s with the Oslo Accords when Israel allowed the creation of the autonomous Palestinian National Authority. Also, the 165 years of British control over Hong Kong ended with the transfer of jurisdiction to the People's Republic of China. In Europe, the decade was dominated by the Yugoslav wars, which resulted in the dissolution of Yugoslavia as Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Macedonia declared their independence.  <read more>
