The year 2011 will be remembered as a seminal one of ground-shifting events throughout the world.
In Japan, the shift was quite literal: a giant magnitude-9.0 earthquake triggered a catastrophic tsunami. In the Arab world, the very foundation of long-standing regimes was shaken until a number of its totalitarian leaders fell, and are still falling.
There was the British Royal wedding, swells of anti-Communist Party sentiment in China, and the spread of the Occupy Movement from Wall Street to over 80 countries and counting. So, from revolution across the Arab world to a nuclear disaster in Japan, from the euro zone crisis to a tabloid phone hacking scandal, from Osama bin Laden to Wills and Kate, 2011 was a remarkable year.
See reuters site for more pictures.
And a multimedia showcase of some of 2011's top stories, including Japan's tragic earthquake, the Arab Spring, the demise of Osama bin Laden and Muammar Gaddafi, the shooting rampage in Norway, famine in Somalia and the Royal Wedding. Multimedia editing by Jillian Kitchener.
Here's CNN vidoes of 2011 - Part 1 and Part 2
And in Asia....
And very nice pictures from LIFE magazine.
