The year 1991 was the second year of the decade and the 1990s, the 1991st year of the Common Era, the 991st year of the 2nd Millennium as well a the 91st year of the 20th Century.

Much was going on; be in politics, arts and entertainment, music or geology. The year 1991 began on a Tuesday according to the Gregorian Calender, and was a year during the 20th Century.

The year 1991 is usually considered the final year of the Cold War which had been going on since the late 1940s. The Cold War was sparked after World War One (WWI), as a continuing state of political conflict, military tension, proxy wars, and economic competition continued to exist, spiraling the world into peril. The Cold War was between the Communist World -- comprised primarily of the Soviet Union (modern day Russia) and its satellite states and allies -- and the Western World - comprised of the United States and its allies. During the year, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics collapsed into fifteen sovereign republics.

In archeology: fourteen ships were discovered at Abydos in Egypt; cores and samples taken from a roof in Pueblo Bonito were dated to be from ancient times, circa A.D. 1082.

In architecture: One Canada Square in London became the tallest building in England, with a height of 770 feet (230 m) above ground level, containing 50 storeys. It no longer holds that title as in late 2010, the United Kingdom built Shard London Bridge now standing at 245 metres (or 804 ft), which remains under construction as of 2011. The Tianjin Radio and Television Tower in Tianjin, China was completed. The Carnegie Hall Tower in Manhattan, New York, United States was also completed. In Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S., the West Tower of the Stardust Resort and Casino was completed.

In art: on April 14th in the Netherlands thieves stole 20 paintings worth $500 million from the Van Gogh Museum Amsterdam. Less than an hour later they were found in an abandoned car near the museum. 1991 was also the year of the opening of the Irish Museum of Modern Art. Michael De Caso invents Rectoversion. The prestigious United Kingdom Turner Prize, was awarded to artist Anish Kapoor. Damien Hirst, and English artist, created his famous art piece, The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living.

In aviation: on January 16th, Eastern Air Lines is annexed after 64 year of operation. Many of its remaining assets were parceled out to American and Continental; two other huge air line companies of the time.
