The Crisis of the Old Order

The Crisis of the Old Order refers to a period of instability and change, primarily during the early 20th century, when traditional structures of power, such as monarchies and colonial empires, began to collapse. Factors like World War I, economic upheaval, and the rise of new ideologies (like communism and fascism) challenged the established norms. Societal upheavals, including the demand for rights and national independence, further eroded the old political frameworks. This shift led to the creation of new political systems and movements, reshaping the global landscape and setting the stage for modern society.
