5 The 20th century was the period between January 1, 1901 [1] and December 31, 2000, [2][3] inclusive. It was the tenth and last century of the 2nd millennium. It is distinct from the century known as the 1900s (sometimes written 19XX), which began on January 1, 1900 and ended December 31, [1] [2][3] 2nd millennium The century had the first global-scale wars between world powers across continents in World War I and World War II.Nationalism became a major political issue in the world in the 20th century, acknowledged in international law along with the right of nations to self-determination, official decolonization in the mid-century, and nationalist-influenced armed conflicts – including two World Wars.

6 The century saw a major shift in the way that many people lived, with changes in politics, ideology, economics, society, culture, science, technology, and medicine. The 20th century may have seen more technological and scientific progress than all the other centuries combined since the dawn of civilization. Terms like ideology, world war, genocide, and nuclear war entered common usage. Scientific discoveries, such as the theory of relativity and quantum physics, profoundly changed the foundational models of physical science, forcing scientists to realize that the universe was more complex than previously believed, and dashing the hopes (or fears) at the end of the 19th century that the last few details of scientific knowledge were about to be filled in. It was a century that started with horses, simple automobiles, and freighters but ended with high-speed rail, cruise ships, global commercial air travel and the space shuttle. Horses, Western society's basic form of personal transportation for thousands of years, were replaced by automobiles and buses within a few decades. These developments were made possible by the exploitation of fossil fuel resources, which offered energy in an easily portable form, but also caused concern about pollution and long-term impact on the environment. Humans explored space for the first time, taking their first footsteps on the Moon. world war genocide nuclear war theory of relativity quantum physics freighters high-speed rail cruise ships commercial air travel space shuttle fossil fuel environment space Moon

7 Mass media, telecommunications, and information technology (especially computers, paperback books, public education, and theInternet) made the world's knowledge more widely available. Advancements in medical technology also improved the welfare of many people: the global life expectancy increased from 35 years to 65 years. Rapid technological advancements, however, also allowed warfare to reach unprecedented levels of destruction. World War II alone killed over 60 million people, while nuclear weapons gave humankind the means to annihilate itself in a short time. However, these same wars resulted in the destruction of the Imperial system. For the first time in human history, empires and their wars of expansion and colonization ceased to be a factor in global affairs and left an increasingly globalized and cooperative world in their wake. The last time major powers clashed openly was 1945, and since then, violence has seen an unprecedented decline. [4] paperback books public educationInternet medical technology nuclear weapons [4] The world also became more culturally homogenized than ever with developments in transportation and communications technology, popular music and other influences of Western culture, international corporations, and what was arguably a true global economy by the end of the 20th century. culturally homogenized popular music global economy

8 Summary Technological advancements during World War I changed the way war was fought, as new inventions such as machine guns, tanks, chemical weapons, grenades, and military aircraft modified tactics and strategy. After more than four years of trench warfare in western Europe, and 20 million dead, those powers who had formed the Triple Entente(France, Britain, and Russia, later replaced by the United States and joined by Italy) emerged victorious over the Central Powers (Germany, Austria- Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire). In addition to annexing much of the colonial possessions of the vanquished states, the Triple Entente exacted punitive restitution payments from their former foes, plunging Germany in particular into economic depression. The Tsarist regime of emperor Nicholas II was overthrown during the conflict, Russia became the first communist state, and the Austro- Hungarian and Ottoman empires were dismantled at the war's conclusiontankschemical weaponsgrenadesmilitary aircrafttrench warfareTriple EntenteCentral PowersAustria- HungaryOttoman EmpireNicholas IIAustro- HungarianOttoman

Soviet Union [5] World War II deaths At the beginning of the period, Britain was the world's most powerful nation, [6] having acted as the world's policeman for the past century. Fascism, a movement which grew out of post-war angst and which accelerated during the Great Depression of the 1930s, gained momentum in Italy, Germany and Spain in the 1920s and 1930s, culminating in World War II (1939 – 1945), sparked by Nazi Germany's aggressive expansion at the expense of its neighbors. Meanwhile, Japan had rapidly transformed itself into a technologically advanced industrial power. Its military expansion into eastern Asia and the Pacific Ocean culminated in a surprise attack on the United States, bringing it into World War II. After some years of dramatic military success, Germany was defeated in 1945, having been invaded by the Soviet Union from the east and by the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Free France from the west. The war ended with the dropping of two atomic bombs on Japan. Japan later became a U.S. ally with an economy based on the manufacture of consumer goods and trade. Germany was divided between the Western powers and the Soviet Union; all areas recaptured by the Soviet Union (East Germany and eastward) were essentially transitioned into Soviet puppet states under communist rule. Meanwhile, Western Europe was influenced by the American Marshall Plan and made a quick economic recovery, becoming major allies of the United States under capitalist economies and relatively democratic governments.

11 World War II left about 60 million people dead. When the conflict ended in 1945, the United States and the Soviet Union emerged as the major world powers. Allies during the war, they soon became hostile to one other as the competing ideologies of communism and democratic capitalism occupied Europe, divided by the Iron Curtain and the Berlin Wall. The military alliances headed by these nations (NATO in North America and Western Europe; the Warsaw Pact in Eastern Europe) threatened each other with total war throughout the Cold War (1947 – 91). The period was marked by a new arms race, and nuclear weapons were produced in the tens of thousands, sufficient to end most human life on the planet had a large-scale nuclear exchange ever occurred. The size of the nuclear arsenals is believed by many historians to have staved off war between the two, as the consequences were too great to bear. The policy of massive nuclear attack, knowing a similar counterattack would be forthcoming, was called mutually assured destruction(MAD). However, several proxy wars, such as the Korean War (1950 – 1953) and the Vietnam War (1957 – 1975), were waged as the United States implemented its worldwide "containment" policy against communism.

Meanwhile, the wars empowered several nations, including the UK, USA, Russia, China and Japan, to exert a strong influence over many world affairs. American culture spread around the world with the advent of Hollywood, Broadway, rock and roll, pop music, fast food, big-box stores, and the hip-hoplifestyle. Britain continued to influence world culture, including the "British Invasion" into American music, leading many rock bands (such as Swedish ABBA) to sing in English. The western world and parts of Asia enjoyed a post-World War II economic boom. After the Soviet Union collapsed under internal pressure in 1991, the communist governments of the Eastern bloc were dismantled, followed by awkward transitions into market economies. decolonization rock and roll big-box stores hip-hopBritish Invasion ABBA post-World War II economic boom Eastern bloc Following World War II the United Nations was established as an international forum in which the world's nations could discuss issues diplomatically. It has enacted resolutions on such topics as the conduct of warfare, environmental protection, international sovereignty, and human rights. Peacekeeping forces consisting of troops provided by various countries, with various United Nations and other aid agencies, have helped to relieve famine, disease, and poverty, and to suppress some local armed conflicts. Europe slowly united, economically and, in some ways, politically, to form the European Union, which consisted of 15 European countries by the end of the 20th century. European Union In the last third of the century, concern about humankind's impact on the Earth's environment made environmentalism popular. In many countries, especially in Europe, the movement was channeled into politics through Green parties. Increasing awareness of global warming began in the 1980s, commencing decades of social and political debate. environment Green parties global warming

14 Due to continuing industrialization and expanding trade, many significant changes of the century were, directly or indirectly, economic and technological in nature. Inventions such as the light bulb, the automobile, and the telephone in the late 19th century, followed by supertankers, airliners, motorways, radio, television, antibiotics, frozen food, computers and microcomputers, the Internet, and mobile telephones affected people's quality of life across the developed world. Scientific research, engineering professionalization and technological development drove changes in everyday life. light bulb supertankers airliners antibiotics frozen food microcomputers mobile telephones quality of life

15 At the beginning of the century, discrimination based on race and sex still existed in general society. Although the Atlantic slave trade had ended in the 19th century, the fight for equality for Africans in the white society of North America, Europe, and South Africa continued. During the century, the social taboo of sexism fell. By the end of the 20th century, women had as many rights as men in many parts of the world, and racism had come to be seen as abhorrent. [7] Atlantic slave trade sexism [7] The number of people killed during the century by government actions was in the hundreds of millions. This includes deaths caused by wars, genocide, politicide and mass murders. The deaths from battles, fire bombings and nuclear bombs used during the two world wars alone have been estimated between 50 and 80 million. Political scientistRudolph Rummel estimated 262,000,000 deaths caused by democide, which excludes those killed in war battles, civilians unintentionally killed in war and killings of rioting mobs. [8] According to Charles Tilly, "Altogether, about 100 million people died as a direct result of action by organized military units backed by one government or another over the course of the century. Most likely a comparable number of civilians died of war-induced disease and other indirect effects." [9] It is estimated that approximately 70 million Europeans died through war, violence and famine between 1914 and [10]Rudolph Rummel democide [8] Charles Tilly [9] [10]

16 After gaining political rights in the United States and much of Europe in the first part of the century, and with the advent of new birth control techniques, women became more independent throughout the century. birth control Rising nationalism and increasing national awareness were among the many causes of World War I (1914 – 1918), the first of two wars to involve many major world powers including Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Russia/USSR, the United States and the British Empire. World War I led to the creation of many new countries, especially in Eastern Europe. At the time, it was said by many to be the "war to end war".USSR British Empirewar to end war Civil wars occurred in many nations. A violent civil war broke out in Spain in 1936 when General Francisco Franco rebelled against the Second Spanish Republic. Many [who?] consider this war as a testing battleground for World War II, as the fascist armies bombed some Spanish territories. civil war Francisco Franco Second Spanish Republicwho?

17 The economic and political aftermath of World War I and the Great Depression in the 1930s led to the rise of fascism and Nazism in Europe, and subsequently to World War II (1939 – 1945). This war also involved Asia and the Pacific, in the form of Japanese aggression against China and the United States. Civilians also suffered greatly in World War II, due to the aerial bombing of cities on both sides, and the German genocide of the Jews and others, known as the Holocaust. In August 1945, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed with nuclear weapons. Great Depression Nazism aerial bombing of cities genocide the Holocaust Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed with nuclear weapons During World War I, in the Russian Revolution of 1917, 300 years of Romanov reign were ended and the Bolsheviks, under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin, established theworld's first socialist state, precipitating the founding of the Soviet Union and the rise of communism. After the Soviet Union's involvement in World War II, communism became a major force in global politics, notably in Eastern Europe, China, Indochina and Cuba, where communist parties gained near- absolute power. This led to the Cold War and proxy wars with the West, including wars in Korea (1950 – 1953) and Vietnam (1957 – 1975).

19 The Cold War had caused an arms race and increasing competition between the two major players in the world: the Soviet Union and USA. This competition included the development and improvement of nuclear weapons and the Space Race. The Soviet authorities caused the deaths of millions of their own citizens in order to eliminate domestic opposition. [11] More than 18 million people passed through the Gulag, with a further 6 million being exiled to remote areas of the Soviet Union. [12] Soviet [11] Gulag exiled Soviet Union [12] The civil rights movement in the United States and the movement against apartheid in South Africa challenged racial segregation in those countries. civil rights movement apartheid The two world wars led to efforts to increase international cooperation, notably through the founding of the League of Nations after World War I, and its successor, the United Nations, after World War II. League of Nations Nationalist movements in the subcontinent led to the independence of India and Pakistan. Gandhi's non-violence and civil disobedience influenced many political movements around the world, including the African American civil rights movement in USA, and freedom movements in South Africa and Burma. The creation in 1948 of Israel, a Jewish state in the Middle East, by the British Mandate of Palestine fueled many regional conflicts. These were also influenced by the vast oilfields in many of the other countries of the mostly Arab region. Israel British Mandate of Palestine oil Arab The end of colonialism led to the independence of many African and Asian countries. During the Cold War, many of these aligned with the United States, the USSR, or China for defense.The end of colonialism Cold War After a long period of civil wars and conflicts with European powers, China's last imperial dynasty ended in The resulting republic was replaced, after another civil war, by a communist People's Republic in At the end of the 20th century, though still ruled by a communist party, China's economic system had largely transformed to capitalism.

Led mainly by students and intellectuals, the protests occurred in a year that saw the collapse of a number of communist governments around the world. Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 The revolutions of 1989 released Eastern and Central Europe from Soviet supremacy. Soon thereafter, the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia dissolved, the latter violently over several years, into successor states, many rife with ethnic nationalism.

20 As the century began, Paris was the artistic capital of the world, where both French and foreign writers, composers and visual artists gathered. Movies, music and the media had a major influence on fashion and trends in all aspects of life. As many movies and much music originate from the United States, American culture spread rapidly over the world saw the glamorous coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, an iconic figure of the century. coronation of Queen Elizabeth II Visual culture became more dominant not only in movies but in comics and television as well. During the century a new skilled understanding of narrativist imagery was developed.Visual culture Computer games and internet surfing became new and popular form of entertainment during the last 25 years of the century. In literature, science fiction, fantasy (with well-developed fictional worlds, rich in detail), alternative history fiction gained unprecedented popularity. Detective fiction gained unprecedented popularity between the two world wars. fantasy alternative history Detective fiction Tango was created in Argentina and became extremely popular in the rest of America and Europe. Blues and jazz music became popularized during the 1910s and 1920s in the United States. Blues went on to influence rock and roll in the 1950s, which only increased in popularity with the British Invasion of the mid-to-late 1960s. Rock soon branched into many different genres, includingheavy metal, punk rock, and alternative rock and became the dominant genre of popular music. This was challenged with the rise ofhip hop in the 1980s and 1990s. Other genres such as house, techno, reggae, and soul all developed during the latter half of the century and went through various periods of popularity.Tango Blues jazz rock and roll British Invasionheavy metal punk rock alternative rock popular musichip hop house techno reggae soul

Streamlined forms inspired by machines became commonplace, enabled by developments in building materials and technologies. Before World War II, many European architects moved to the United States, where modern architecture continued to develop. modern architecture Victorian era building materials The automobile increased the mobility of people in the Western countries in the early-to-mid-century, and in many other places by the end of the 20th century.

23 Science advanced dramatically during the century. There were new and radical developments in the physical, life and human sciences, building on the progress made in the 19th century. [14] Big Science flourished, especially after the Second World War, as funding for science increased. Mathematics became ever more specialized and abstract. physical life human [14] Big Science Second World War Mathematics [edit]edit New fields of mathematics studying the theory of computation were developed. The work of Alan Turing, including the Turing machine, and of John von Neumann was seminal. mathematics theory of computation Alan Turing Turing machine John von Neumann G ö del's incompleteness theorems were formulated and proven.G ö del's incompleteness theorems Physics [edit]edit New areas of physics, like special relativity, general relativity, and quantum mechanics, were developed during the first half of the century. In the process, the internal structure of atoms came to be clearly understood, followed by the discovery of elementary particles. physics special relativity general relativity quantum mechanics atoms elementary particles It was found that all the known forces can be traced to only four fundamental interactions. It was discovered further that two forces, electromagnetism and weak interaction, can be merged in the electroweak interaction, leaving only three different fundamental interactions. forces fundamental interactions electromagnetism weak interaction electroweak interaction Discovery of nuclear reactions, in particular nuclear fusion, finally revealed the source of solar energy. nuclear reactions nuclear fusion solar Radiocarbon dating was invented, and became a powerful technique for determining the age of prehistoric animals and plants as well as historical objects.Radiocarbon dating prehistoric historical

24 A much better understanding of the evolution of the universe was achieved, its age (about billion years) was determined, and the Big Bang theory on its origin was proposed and generally accepted. universe age Big Bang The age of the solar system, including Earth, was determined, and it turned out to be much older than believed earlier: more than 4 billion years, rather than the 20 million years suggested by Lord Kelvin in [15] solar system Earth Lord Kelvin [15] The planets of the solar system and their moons were closely observed via numerous space probes. Pluto was discovered in 1930 on the edge of the solar system, although in the early 21st century, it was reclassified as a plutoid instead of a planet proper, leaving eight planets. space probes Pluto plutoid No trace of life was discovered on any of the other planets in our solar system (or elsewhere in the universe), although it remained undetermined whether some forms of primitive life might exist, or might have existed, somewhere.

25 One of the prominent traits of the 20th century was the dramatic growth of technology. Organized research and practice of science led to advancement in the fields of communication, engineering, travel, medicine, and war. The number and types of home appliances increased dramatically due to advancements in technology, electricity availability, and increases in wealth and leisure time. Such basic appliances as washing machines, clothes dryers, furnaces, exercise machines,refrigerators, freezers, electric stoves, and vacuum cleaners all became popular from the 1920s through the 1950s. The microwave oven became popular during the 1980s. Radios were popularized as a form of entertainment during the 1920s, which extended to television during the 1950s. Cable television spread rapidly during the 1980s. Personal computers began to enter the home during the 1970s – 1980s as well. The age of the portable music player grew during the 1960s with the development of 8-track and cassette tapes, which slowly began to replace record players. These were in turn replaced by the CD during the late 1980s and 1990s. The proliferation of the Internet in the mid- to-late 1990s made digital distribution of music (mp3s) possible. VCRs were popularized in the 1970s, but by the end of the 20th century, DVDs were beginning to replace them. home appliances washing machines clothes dryers exercise machinesrefrigerators electric stoves vacuum cleaners microwave oven 8-track cassette record digital distribution VCRs The first airplane was flown in With the engineering of the faster jet engine in the 1940s, mass air travel became commercially viable. jet engine air travel The assembly line made mass production of the automobile viable. By the end of the 20th century, billions of people had automobiles for personal transportation. The combination of the automobile, motor boats and air travel allowed for unprecedented personal mobility. In western nations, motor vehicle accidents became the greatest cause of death for young people. However, expansion of divided highways reduced the death rate. assembly line motor boats divided highways The triode tube, transistor and integrated circuit revolutionized computers, leading to the proliferation of the personal computer in the 1980s and cell phones and the public-use Internet in the 1990s. triode tube transistor integrated circuit

Semiconductors were put to use in electronic objects. Semiconductors Thousands of chemicals were developed for industrial processing and home use. chemicals The Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union gave a peaceful outlet to the political and military tensions of the Cold War, leading to the first human spaceflight with the Soviet Union's Vostok 1 mission in 1961, and man's first landing on another world the Moon with America's Apollo 11 mission in Later, the firstspace station was launched by the Soviet space program. The United States developed the first (and to date only) reusable spacecraft system with the Space Shuttle program, first launched in As the century ended, a permanent manned presence in space was being founded with the ongoing construction of the International Space Station.

The first orbiting space probe, Sputnik 1, was launched by the Soviet Union in Over time, a massive system of artificial satellites was placed into orbit around Earth. These satellites greatly advanced navigation, communications, military intelligence, geology, climate, and numerous other fields. Also, by the end of the 20th century, unmanned probes had visited the Moon, Mercury,Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and various asteroids and comets. The Hubble Space Telescope, launched in 1990, greatly expanded our understanding of the Universe and brought brilliant images to TV and computer screens around the world.

31 The dominant use of fossil sources and nuclear power, considered the conventional energy sources. fossil sources nuclear power Widespread use of petroleum in industry both as a chemical precursor to plastics and as a fuel for the automobile and airplane led to the geopolitical importance of petroleum resources. The Middle East, home to many of the world's oil deposits, became a center of geopolitical and military tension throughout the latter half of the century. (For example, oil was a factor in Japan's decision to go to war against the United States in 1941, and the oil cartel, OPEC, used an oil embargo of sorts in the wake of the Yom Kippur War in the 1970s). airplane OPEC Yom Kippur War The increase in fossil fuel consumption caused air pollution, global warming, and global climate change. fossil fuel global warming climate change Pesticides, herbicides and other toxic chemicals accumulated in the environment, including in the bodies of humans and other animals.Pesticides herbicides toxic chemicals Overpopulation and worldwide deforestation diminished the quality of the environment.Overpopulation deforestation quality of the environment

33 Communications and information technology, transportation technology, and medical advances had radically altered daily lives. Europe appeared to be at a sustainable peace for the first time in recorded history. The people of the Indian subcontinent, a sixth of the world population at the end of the 20th century, had attained an indigenous independence for the first time in centuries. China, an ancient nation comprising a fifth of the world population, was finally open to the world in a new and powerful synthesis of west and east, creating a new state after the near-complete destruction of the old cultural order. With the end of colonialism and the Cold War, nearly a billion people in Africa were left in new nation states after centuries of foreign domination The world was undergoing its second major period of globalization; the first, which started in the 18th century, having been terminated by World War I. Since the US was in a dominant position, a major part of the process was Americanization. The influence of China and India was also rising, as the world's largest populations were rapidly integrating with the world economy. globalization Americanization Terrorism, dictatorship, and the spread of nuclear weapons were some issues requiring attention.
