Short twentieth century
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Short Twentieth Century)
Created in analogy to brother era names felt to overlap specific time periods, The Short Twentieth Century is a term used by some historians to denote the period 1914—1992 (or perhaps a couple of years later - the Cold War has no exact end date), where World War I and the fall of the Soviet Union represented such significant changes in world history as to redefine the era.
