National trauma
** ALT1:... that national trauma can shatter the social life of an entire country? Source: "Something terrible, deplorable, or abnormal has happened, and social life has lost its predictablity". Arthur G. Neal, National Trauma and Collective Memory: Extraordinary Events in the American Experience
 * ... that wars, battles, assassinations and natural disasters can all cause national trauma? Source: See the multiple sources for the "examples" section
 * Reviewed: only my 2nd DYK nomination
 * Comment: The "recently expanded" criteria may be borderline due to the holidays enforcing some time away from this article. I finished updating tonight, so that is clearly in the last seven days. The article was at 360 characters before I started and is at 8,442 now so it is a large enough expansion.  The problem is I started a complete re-write of the previous article on December 1 and only finished adding examples tonight.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg - Length, Earwigs, and QPQ Exempt check. Various cites in the article indicate that the events listed in the hook are causes of national trauma.  In regards to the date, I'm willing to give it a pass, this is your second DYK and I see no other major issues.  Original hook approved.  Mifter (talk) 03:33, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
