2005 - That year in History
Some of the notable events that I remember from 2005:
- George W. Bush is inaugurated in Washington, D.C. for his second term as the 43rd President of the United States
- The first free Parliamentary elections in Iraq since 1958 take place.
- Pope John Paul II dies; over 4 million people travel to the Vatican to mourn him.
- Pope Benedict XVI (Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger) succeeds Pope John Paul II, becoming the 265th pope.
- The International Olympic Committee awards the 2012 Summer Olympics to London.
- Four terror attacks (3 on the London Underground and 1 on a bus) rock the transport network in London, killing 52 (not including the 4 bombers) and injuring over 700.
- Controversial drawings of Muhammad are printed in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten.
- The 2005 Bali bombings kill 26 people and injure more than 100.
