The Oxford History of Twentieth Century

The Oxford History of Twentieth Century

Michael Eliot Howard
3.6/5 ( ratings)
In 1900 Queen Victoria still ruled over the British Empire, the imperial Manchu dynasty over China and the Romanov Tsars over Russia. The cinema was in its infancy, with radio and television still to be developed. The earliest cars were on the road, but air travel was yet to come. Before antibiotics and effective vaccines against many common diseases, death rates were high. Over the course of the 20th century, the human population of the world tripled, space travel left the realms of science fiction and became reality, two cataclysmic world wars and a host of other conflicts were fought, the internal combustion engine replaced the horse as the basic means of transport and computer technology revolutionized communications.
