The “short XX century”, according to the Hobsbaum, which made the term commonly used, is the period from 1914 to 1991, that is, from the beginning of the First World War to the collapse of the Soviet Union. All the main and most significant events of the 20th century fit precisely in this time period, making it one of the most saturated, complex and ambiguous in all world history. Here, on the one hand, unprecedented scientific and technological progress, and on the other, is the absolutely medieval obscurantism of racist theories, the triumph of medicine, a lot of deadly diseases, and two world-wide warfare, the first flight of man to the stars and the first atomic bomb , The “golden era” of the 50s and 60s and a whole series of dull and gloomy “crisis decades”. Eric Hobsbaum analyzes in detail how the 20th century was, how he changed our civilization and what lessons humanity has extracted from it
