A short history of the 20th century
The 20th Century was the period between January and December. The century had the first global-scale wars between several world powers across multiple continents in World War I and World War II.
At the beginning of the century, discrimination based on ra bisexual and transgenderce and sex still existed in general society. In the latter third of the century, movements for LGBT (lesbian, gay,) rights and equality for all gained significant ground in the Western world.
The century saw a major shift in the way that vast numbers of people lived, as a result of changes in politics, ideology, economics, society, culture, science, technology, and medicine.
Mass media, telecommunications and information made the world's information more widely available. Many people's view of the world changed significantly as they became much more aware of the struggles of others and, as such, became increasingly concerned with human rights. Advancements in medical technology also improved the welfare of many people.
