A crisis is a situation which is difficult, unexpected, or an emergency. It is often an important "turning point", where a decision must be taken, affecting many people. Very often, this decision must be taken in relatively little time. The word is related to the Greek "������" (krisis). Examples include the sudden threat of war, or the occurrence of a natural disaster.
