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. Some of these moments are captured in pictures as The Epoch Times takes you back through the events that shaped 2011.
