The Last Century 1900 2000 Dive into the new century on a wave of invention, as the Wright brothers take to the skies and a radio signal crosses the Atlantic. It s also the end of the Victorian era and the beginning of the end of China s Manchu dynasty. Talking pictures take off and the first skyscraper rises up. Before half the century has gone, two world wars have occurred. Postwar events include the space race, revolutions in Cuba, China and Iran, and the end of apartheid in South Africa. HISTORY OF THE WORLD runs from the birth of civilization to modern times, a timespan ranged consecutively across four books. Major events and epochs, and cultural and scientific advances from all over the world are juxtaposed, showing what was happening in different places at the same time.
