I've picked what seem to me to be 10 of the worst crises in this millennium, so far. Some have dates when they happened or when they started. Some are ongoing and have been with us for most of this millennium if not longer.
In some cases I could have broken down the crisis to let people vote on them by political party. For example, the Iraq War and the Great Recession were overseen by both R and D administrations. And some might think one party did badly enough to rate them among the worst, but feel differently about the other party's handling of that crisis. But I didn't - favoring, instead, listing more separate crises.
Are those all the crises this millennium? Hardly. Are they all truly crises? Up to you. Poll-maker's choice. Feel free to start your own poll if you want different choices. Or mention the crises you think should have been included and maybe I'll do another poll.
