133 Palestine left behind in paradigm shift (1/4)

During few years before and after Hijri 1400 (i.e. 1980AD), many big incidents took place in the Islamic world, such as the Egyptian Israel Peace Treaty in1979, the Iranian Revolution by Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979, too, the outbreak and the termination of the Iran-Iraq war in 1980 and 1988 respectively, the USSR invasion into Afghanistan and withdrawal in 1980 and 1989 respectively.

 

And the world history has also been turbulant during the last two decades of the 20th century. In 1980s the socialism regime in the USSR began to tear off. Its indication was appeared in the area between the border of the capitalism and the socialism. The collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1987 and the German unification in 1990 symbolized the end of the USSR regime. Thus, the USSR collapsed in 1991. The USSR was defeated by capitalism in European front and by Islamic Jihadist in Central Asian front. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which was born at the Russian Revolution in 1917, boasted that socialism would prevail in all over the world in the near future. But they disappeared into history within less than 80 years. Capitalism, in which the United States occupied the top seat, dominated the world.
