Barack Obama has swept to victory to become the first black president of the United States. Addressing jubilant crowds in Chicago, he said that 'change has come to America' - but what will an Obama presidency mean for the rest of the world?

• Obama and the world
• What changes lie ahead?
• World leaders' reactions

• Obama's victory speech
• Why Obama won / Why McCain lost

338-163 electoral votes.
61.1 - 54.5 million votes.

It's a landslide.
