The 19 Century experienced enormous progress and growth – especially for the Industrializing nations of Europe and North America. This “progress” was certainly discriminatory – this “progress” was not spreading to everywhere in the world, leaving gaps, and not at the same speed, th
leaving more gaps. We saw nations forming and empires crumbling. We saw Democracies grow and autocracies fall. As a result of the 19 century, for the first time in human history, we have a significant stratified world – A world of “Haves” and Have Nots.” Industrialization was altering the “Haves” environments, economies, politics, and societies. The “Haves” advancing technologies and other achievements were changing th
people’s beliefs and attitudes. The 19 Century was certainly a century of Revolutions & Evolutions. A world, in which, we see the “Haves” also partake in the exploitation of the “Have Nots.” The race between the “Haves” to gain the advantage and the “Have Nots” being exploited and th
desiring to be in the “elitist Haves” is going to create a collision that creates the entire 20 century to today. It is with the watershed moment of th
th
the 20 Century , that we can see where the 19 century had taken us and also see where it has taken us and is taking us until today. We will th
begin our journey at the summit of the 20 century – World War I. Understanding the technologies that connected us into a single world and our search for world order since, are both better understood by understanding World War I.
