Eureka! TV | 1980 – 1990: Solidarity

Communism collapses in Central Europe. The industrial nations are faced with unemployment and new forms of poverty. The African continent is a disaster area, and fundamentalism spreads in the Arab nations. Drugs become a powerful force of corruption and destabilisation. Within a decade, nearly 10 million people are stricken with the AIDS virus. Pollution threatens the future of the planet.
