       Here is a list of ten events that changed the reality of the struggle of world powers throughout history from the fall of civilizations and the establishment of others on the ruins:

                   1)- Battle of The Trench

                           

  •           After the establishment of the state of Islam emerging in Medina. And after the expulsion of the Prophet Muhammad to the Jews of Bani Nadeer because of their betrayal. Bani Nadeer'is leaders moved to Khyber. They began inciting the tribes against the Prophet and provoking them against him. So a delegation of them leaded to Quraish to tempt them the war against Muslims, that this is an opportunity to eradicate them.


  •         Quraish responded to their request, and mobilized four thousand men. Then Bani Nadeer moved from Quraish to Ghatfan to tempt them to fight Muslims. Ghatfan went out with 6,000 fighters. Total , 10,000 fighters against Muslims. And Muslims then three thousand fighters. The Prophet consulted his companions, clever one " his name was Salman " pointed to digging the trench. The siege intensified. The Prophet Muhammad start breaking the alliance through the physical presentation. After this offers he and muslims won the war and became the strongest and the greatest empire for hundreds of years.


         2)-  The Industrial Revolution

           

  •         The Industrial Revolution was the transition to new manufacturing processes in the period from about 1760 to sometime between 1820 and 1840. In 1712 James Watt made the steam machine used to rotate mills and saws which was previously managed by waterfalls, and made the establishment of factories anywhere not necessarily next to water sources. Watt participated in the creation of a technological innovation center that became the cornerstone of the British economy and the industrial revolution in 1775. Resulting in the entry of iron and steam products in several fields such as steamboats, steam rail locomotives and steam vessels.


         3)-  The Invention of Dynamite

              

  •         The Swedish scientist Alfred Nobel wanted to invent what could help in the excavation in the mountains, the extraction of stones and the opening of dams and roads. Those arduous operations required considerable time and effort.  And because the necessity is the mother of invention, these hardships were the first spark of the dynamite work idea. The invention of Nobel has been a resounding success and has made a lot of money for him. But his invention, whose main purpose was to help humanity and saving a lot of time, effort and money, used in wars and to harm all humankind. And everyone knows that modern warfares has caused destruction "Modern wars that mean explosives".


           4)-  Oil Field Discoveries    

              

  •          In the United States of America, as part of the search for salt (which was used in refrigeration operations at that time) under the surface of the earth, the workers found a sticky  black liquid, comes out from salt wells. The pharmacist, Samuel Kerr, took some of this liquid and  start oil refining in his laboratory. That was the first oil refining in the history. He found that it can be used in lighting instead of using candles made from animals fat. Thus the importance of petroleum was discovered in 1845.  In 1848, the first modern oil well was drilled on the Absheron Peninsula north-east of Baku, by Russian engineer F.N. Semyenov. The production of oil was two thousand barrels in 1859 and about 3 million barrels in 1926. It was then used as fuel instead of coal. Oil discoveries continued till it became the world's leading source of energy. Because of oil, wars started , countries were looted and occupied to control oil, and because of oil, some of poor countries turnned into wealthy countries with huge wealth.


           5)- World War II

              

  •           World War II is one of the largest military battles between armies in various parts of the world in history. It began on July 7, 1937 in Asia and on 1 September 1939 in Europe, and ended in 1945 with the surrender of Japan. World War II is the most comprehensive and costly war in human history, because of the breadth of the war and the multiplicity of theaters of battles and fronts. The parties of the conflict were numerous (armed forces from 70 countries engaged in naval and ground battles). Around 60 million human beings were killed, military and civilians.


          6)- Invention of Computer

              

  •           In the Second World War, the Germans relied on an encoder called "ingma", which enabled them to circulate orders and information. Where messages were converted to different alphabets or a particular order, messages were rearranged to the original message in a similar device to the receiver. It was difficult for anyone to intercept those messages. Germany was sending its encrypted messages over the radio heard by everyone and can only be understood by the recipient through his machine. Britain wanted to penetrate this. So they formed a band of experts and scientists in mathematics and cipher. After two years of work, they discovered a device that can decode messages, then called the "bomb" to its huge magnitude. This discovery was the first computer to be developed to conquer all aspects of life.



           7)- The fall of The Islamic Caliphate

              

  •          The fall of the Ottoman Caliphate caused to fall the last real state representing the Muslims. They no longer live in an Islamic group led by a successor who was legally selected  to work with the Book of Qura'n "Muslims' constitution" and the Sunnah "Rules"  of His Messenger Muhammed.They are divided into fifty-five torn states, no weight and no power. After fourteen centuries that Muslims lived under one banner in periods of weakness and strength. But now no longer. The brigade was torn apart and replaced by national brigades, which resulted in a lot of division and wars among Muslims. It resulted in much division and wars among Muslims when intolerance of the land became the ruler.


           8)- Guerrilla

              

  •         Guerrilla warfare is a form of fighting between armed groups and regular forces or a foreign occupier, and this is a military approach used by the weaker party to overcome a strong opponent. It is also known as the flea war. Because of its sudden nature and the speed of hit and run. Guerrilla warfare became a common tradition among the world's liberation movements in the 20th century, where armed groups are always predominant. That because regular armies are unable to cope with this pattern of conflict.


           9)- The Invention of The Internet

               

  •            Internet is an instant broadcast capability around the world, a mechanism for the dissemination of information and a means of cooperation and interaction between individuals and their computers regardless of geographical location. The Internet was based on the idea that there would be many independent networks with optional design from ARPANET as a leading  network in the use of packet exchange technology. But quickly included space beam networks, terrestrial wireless networks and other networks.
