The twentieth century was marked by a period of change. With inventions such as the light bulb, the automobile, and the telephone at the end of the previous century, the quality of life has increased for many, while this progress has not only continued in the twentieth century, but has been essential for major changes in the global political landscape. The United States has had major economic and political gains; By 1900, the United States was the world's leading industrial power in terms of production. [1] Africa, Central America, South America and Asia also gradually moved towards greater autonomy. With the creation of new independent states in former European possessions, the balance of power throughout the twentieth century began to shift out of Europe.

The 20th Century began on January 1, 1901 and ended on December 31, 2000. It was a period that was notable for the numerous technological advances, achievements of civilization and twists in power. However, these years can be described as the "epoch of the great massacres", as it was never killed so much as in the conflicts that occurred in the period. European scientists Giovanni Arrighi and Eric Hobsbawm wrote about the period, which they also titled their books, but from different perspectives: The Long Twentieth Century and The Age of Extremes: The Short Twentieth Century, 1914-1991, respectively. [1] It is also associated with the American Century. [Lacks sources] The twentieth century was marked by a period of change.

In Europe, changes have begun as well. The British Empire reached the height of its power. German Empire and Kingdom of Italy, which came into existence as unified nations in the late nineteenth century, sought to grow in power, economy, and influence. With nationalism in full force at this time, the European powers competed against each other for land, military strength and economic might. Asia and Africa, for the most part, were still under the control of their European conquerors as a consequence of neo-colonialism. Exceptions existed, however, as in China and Japan. In addition, the Empire of Japan and the Russian Empire were at war with each other in 1905. The Russo-Japanese War was one of the first instances of a European power being defeated by an Asian nation. . The war itself reinforced Japanese militarism and developed Japan's status growth by power on the international stage. Tsarist Russia, on the other hand, did not deal well with defeat. The war exposed the country's military weakness and growing economic setback. The United States was an element of growing influence in world politics during the nineteenth century. They made their presence known on the world stage by challenging the Spanish in the Spanish-American War, winning colonies of Cuba and the Philippines as protectorates. Now, with growth in immigration and a resolution of a national unity issue through the bloody American Civil War, the United States was also emerging as an industrial power plant, rivaling Britain, Germany and France.
