This unit explores global developments in the 1920s and 1930s. Because of the horrors of WWI (1914-1918), people around the world made desperate searches for peace and stability. Social, political, and economic relations between women and men, rich and poor, colonizer and colonized were dramatically changed by the demands of the Great War. A resulting wave of revolution transformed prewar states, and the Russian, Ottoman, German, and Austro-Hungarian empires crumbled. The ideology of nationalism formed the foundation of this transformation as the world was shrunk by technological development. Individuals were empowered by technology to an unprecedented degree.
このユニットは、1920年代と1930年代の世界情勢を探ります。第一次世界大戦（1914-1918）の惨禍により、世界中の人々が平和と安定を求めて必死に行動していた。女性と男性、富裕層と貧困層、植民地支配者と被植民地支配者の間の社会的、政治的、経済的関係は、第一次世界大戦の要求によって劇的に変化した。その結果、革命の波が戦前の国々を変え、ロシア帝国、オスマン帝国、ドイツ帝国、オーストリア・ハンガリー帝国が崩れ去った。ナショナリズムというイデオロギーは、技術革新によって世界が縮小していく中で、この変革の土台となった。そして、技術によって個人がかつてないほど強化された。
