The 20th century was a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs. Mankind landed on the moon. We invented and discovered. We also suffered countless wars, including two of the most catastrophic in history: WWI and WWII. But as Confucius said, "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

With the bad comes the good, and there's no better century to showcase this than the timeline from 1900 to 1999. The 20th century was marred by fear but lifted by revolution and peaceful protest. From the Cold War to the many assassinations of beloved public figures, from the Civil Rights movement to Indian independence, the world changed in so many ways in these 100 years.
