Age of Extremes

"Age of Extremes" refers to a period marked by significant upheaval and transformation, typically involving intense political, social, and economic turmoil. Historically, this phrase often describes the early 20th century (roughly 1914–1945), characterized by World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II. These events disrupted normal life, shifted global power dynamics, and challenged existing societies. Despite chaos, this era also prompted profound innovations and reforms, shaping modern politics, technology, and international relations. It’s a time of intense conflict but also of critical change that defined the modern world.
