Twentieth-Century History

Twentieth-century history was marked by rapid change, global conflicts, and major social shifts. It included two world wars that reshaped nations, the Cold War rivalry between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, and advancements in technology and science. Civil rights movements fought for equality, and decolonization led to many new nations. Economies expanded, but the century also faced economic downturns and environmental challenges. It was a time of innovation, upheaval, and transformation, laying the foundation for the modern world we live in today.
