Why Is It Important To Study The Twentieth Century History


The twentieth century is the most important to study because all the events and moments during this time period changed the way we live today. The biggest wars of all time happened during this period. World War 1 and World War two, lead into the cold war. Events like the great depression where many people were left with nothing struggling to get a little bit of food, and keeping heat in their homes during the winter. The Atomic Bomb killing 90 000 people in seconds, and now the Hydrogen Bomb was built but no one will use it because we are to afraid to. There is enough nuclear weapons on earth that if nuclear war breaks out, there will be no more history to study. But there's not only war and bombs from this century, there are amazing things like new inventions that we would think impossible. Ipods, cell phones, 500 gig computers, fridges with Television, 100 inch screens, shoes with wheels, wireless everything, from ps1 to ps3, and Xbox 360, shoes with shocks, 30 inch rims, chrome everything, bling bling, big diamonds from blood diamonds, sunglasses with music in them, The Big Mac, Wendy’s and subway, Gangster music, Emo music, movie stars, lotteries, Nintendo, everything you can imagine we have invented or is coming out in future months. All those things would never have been created without the first inventions like the first telephone, and the first radio transmission's. Turning points going from half the world being poor, to one man having more money then a whole country has.
There are so many different things that happened in the 20th century that you must study it to be more familiar with our past and how our future will evolve with the things that we invent just as it evolved with the things that were invented in the 20th century. Important information for us to know lies in history and some of the most interesting facts happened during this century.
