The Decades of Biggest Change 1875-1945

Course to be taught in the future. Web pages to be completed later.

Modern times had seen change but nobody had seen as much change as those who lived between 1875 and 1945 –- just 7 decades! From horses to automobiles. From mail to telephones. From candlelight to electricity. From dirt roads to airports. From townhall theaters to home radios.

As a child you would have been reading about the gunfighters of the Old West. At 70 years old, you would be reading about the atomic bomb.

Decade by decade, session by session, we will be reliving the seven decades of the biggest changes in world history.
