Chapter 20
This time frame was such a monumental and important era in history in my opinion. A lot changed and a lot of stigmas formed. The first world war started in 1914. This was what really jumpstarted the 20th century. Strayer says, "It was essentially a European Civil War with a global reach" This later provoked the spread of world communism. The Great Depression then followed this and the Holocaust which has had a lasting impact on society to this day. World War II was included in this time frame. After World War I, it was hard to return to normal life especially veterans and civilians. They set up homes called "Homes for heroes" These houses had normal and traditional family values. In 1922, Adolf Hitler became known and his philosophies in civilizations still scarred people today. World War II eventually brought down the declining Ottoman empire. This led to the map of the middle east that we all known today. In the West, economic downturn was prevalent in society. In Europe and America, unemployment reached 30% by 1932.
