Overview

• At the beginning of the 20th century, Western
  nations were in control of most of the world.
  The great powers of Europe were the strongest on
  earth until they turned their machines of
  destruction on each other in two devastating
  world wars. Out of World War I came communism in
  Russia, Nazism in Germany, and the Great
  Depression worldwide. Out of World War II came a
  new military strategy killing as many civilians
  as possible and a terrible new weapon for that
  purpose, the atomic bomb. At the end of World
  War II, Europe was no longer the dominant region
  of the world.
