Fifteen Major Events of 2020
Hello everyone,
The year 2020 has shown us something that we never had seen ever before. Keeping the CoVID-19 aside, many other events took place that might make you hate this year. Here are the 15 events which took place in 2020, which will be always remembered throughout life. This generation will keep on telling their grandchildren that — “We have survived the year 2020.”
Personally and ironically, this year was one of the best years of my life because I learned a lot of things this year. I became wiser this year than in the year 2019. Perhaps, lockdown taught me, so I should thank that period that came in my life. But, some people did not like a single moment of this year 2020. Many laborers had to move to their native villages and this exodus harassed them enough to curse 2020. Even I wrote that ‘2020 sucks’ without knowing that I can make my own life better because I was not in a condition like those laborers — and that’s why it became one of the best years of my life.
Now, let’s talk about the major events that took place in the year 2020.
JANUARY 2020
1) Australian Bushfires
The bushfire spread more as 2020 came, but this fire started in the previous year 2019. This had made a vast impact on the biodiversity and native animals living there. According to a report, 47 million acres of forest burned down in bushfire, 34 people died, and approximately 3 billion animals including birds and reptiles. The Australian Bushfire ended in May 2020 leading to displacing thousands of homes. The images from the Australian Bushfire melted everyone’s heart across the world.
2) Fear of World War III (January 3)
General Qassem Soleimani
We were just had entered the year 2020 and it brought the fear of World War III. The United States did an Air Strike outside Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. The second-most important person of Iran, General Qassem Soleimani was assassinated in that Air Strike. This arose the possibility of war between the US and Iran as both countries are enemies. This war might have led to World War III. But, in the end, everyone was at peace somehow. This was the peace before the storm because something more dangerous was waiting for us.
3) CoVID-19 (January 9)
The Coronavirus was begun to spread in the year 2019 but on January 9, World Health Organization (WHO) announced an entirely novel virus spreading in Wuhan, China. It spread in 218 countries infecting 8,31,99,813 individuals (still counting) and the death toll reached 18,15,126 as this has been written.
It is still counting and spreading effectively. Another Corona strain also had emerged in the UK with 70% more effective in spreading and mutated spike protein. Wishing that this will end soon.
