At the turn of the second millennium A.D., the established world order began to crack at the seams. At the beginning of the third of October, 1990 there was a merger of the two Germanies - the GDR became a part of the FRG. The world correctly regarded it as a defeat of the USSR in the Cold War. And exactly 21 years later there was an event that finally put an end to the old world order. On that day, two F-35B fighter-bombers, piloted by pilots from the 242nd Fighter Attack Squadron of the U.S. Marine Corps Aviation, which is stationed in Japan at Iwakuni Air Base, landed and then took off from the Japanese helicopter carrier Izumo, thus turning it into an aircraft carrier. So, the 75-year post-World War II era is over.
