20062007

20062007 refers to the period spanning the calendar years 2006 and 2007. In historical writing, the two-year interval is used to examine events that began or unfolded across both years, encompassing politics, economics, science, and culture.

International politics featured conflicts and shifts. In 2006, the Second Lebanon War and North Korea's nuclear test marked regional tensions; ongoing wars persisted in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Hamas rose to power in Palestinian elections. In 2007, the Annapolis Conference aimed to restart Israeli-Palestinian talks amid persistent instability.

Technological and economic developments included several landmark changes. Google acquired YouTube in 2006, and Twitter was founded in the same year. Nintendo released the Wii in 2006, and Windows Vista arrived in 2007. The Blu-ray versus HD DVD competition continued, reflecting broader shifts in media formats. Early signs of financial fragility appeared in 2007, foreshadowing the global crisis that followed.

On the science front, NASA's New Horizons was launched to Pluto in 2006, and Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet by the IAU later that year. The IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report appeared in 2007, intensifying climate-change discourse. In popular culture, major releases such as The Da Vinci Code (2006) and Transformers (2007) drew global audiences.

Sports and media activity also defined the period. The 2006 FIFA World Cup was hosted by Germany, and international cricket featured the 2007 Cricket World Cup in the West Indies. Online platforms continued to grow, reshaping media consumption and communication across 2006–2007.
