The year is 2080. Most humans now live on large satellite space stations orbiting the earth.  This is as a result of over population and pollution creating large wastelands on the planet humans once called home.  Any land still fertile is now used to produce food to feed the human population living amongst the stars.

You are an Agent with Sector 11. Your sector is part of an elite group of agents charged with the task of preserving the history of  the world so that if it is ever possible to return to earth, humans will have information that may prevent them from making the same mistakes.  Unfortunately many of the newspaper records held on earth were destroyed during rioting and war.

The agents of sector 11 have been given the mission of returning to the past, in an effort to discover the secrets behind some of the greatest or most controversial events of the 20th Century.  They cannot simply bring back newspapers from the past however, as this would cause ruptures in the time continuum which could destroy the earth for good.

Instead, agents will be equipped with the latest data recorders, and sent back in time to capture momentous events of the 20th Century. All of these events helped to change the world forever!  Each agent in sector 11 has been given a different task to perform. 

There are four agents in your section.  Each agent has been assigned a different event to research.  You must collect the information for the mission you have been assigned, decide on the relevance of the information and present a conclusion as to the validity of it. You must finally decide what really happened, and how this event changed the world. 

Your key question for this mission is: Why is it important?
