Eric hobsawm, a historian , called the 20th century 'The Ages Of Extremes'. politically ,the world saw shoots of democractic aspirations grow amidst the rise of Fascist domination which fostered ideologies of unquestioned power and hatred for other peoples.Literacy levels and average life expectancy grew immensely for all. New forms of art like movies emerged .scientific knowledge rose to new heights unlocking the secrets of atom and life . women, who constitute half the worldś population, got their right to vote in this period, starting with the west. Literally more than a hundred nations walked to independence and freedom across the world. This was also an age of great experimentation as people strove to built socialist societies based on the principles of equality and fraternity or alternatively a liberal democracy based on political liberty and capitalist economy.
