Includes commentary from historians, rare photographs and stunning footage.<\/p>\n<p>The 1900s<br \/>\nThe Seeds of Progress<br \/>\nThe turn of the century ignites enormous changes, not only for the calendar, but also for society. Milestones include: the industrial revolution and the rise of urban living; massive immigration to the U.S.; the rise of black culture and institutions; the assassination of President McKinley; and the emergence of the U.S. as a global power.<\/p>\n<p>The 1910s<br \/>\nThe Modern Age Begins<br \/>\nAs technology moves forward and international struggles flare, warfare rises to a new, more murderous level. Milestones include: giant leaps in transportation, telecommunications, oil and steel industries; revolutions in Mexico, Ireland, Russia and Germany; the first World War; women\u00b4s suffrage movements; and the emergence of nickelodeons and jazz music.<\/p>\n<p>The 1920s<br \/>\nA Decade of Contradictions<br \/>\n&#8216;The Roaring Twenties,&#8217; as they are known, see a major polarization of people around the world\u2014people who embrace change, and those who fear it. Milestones include: prohibition leads to bootlegging and organized crime; African-American culture accelerates and membership in the KKK reaches an all-time high; Stalin and Mussolini gain power as America turns its back on international affairs; American cities boom while agriculture lags; and big spending and overproduction lead to the stock market crash.<\/p>\n<p>The 1930s<br \/>\nThe Great Depression<br \/>\nThe stock market crash of 1929 ushers in a severe economic crisis in the United States and contributes to the rise of international tension. Milestones include: U.S. unemployment tops 15 million; drought devastates the Great Plains; FDR implements his &#8216;New Deal&#8217;; Americans turn to baseball, radio and movies for entertainment and escapism; and Stalin begins to &#8216;purge&#8217; his enemies while Japan and Germany flex their military muscles.<\/p>\n<p>The 1940s<br \/>\nWar, Recovery and Rebirth<br \/>\nWith Americans still struggling through a severe economic depression, the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor leads the United States into the second global conflict of the century. Milestones include: World War II, the Holocaust and the atomic bomb; women enter the work force in large numbers; Israel declares its independence; the Baby Boom begins; and entertainment shifts to Big Bands, the jitterbug and crooners including Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra.<\/p>\n<p>The 1950s<br \/>\nPromoting the American Dream<br \/>\nThe U.S. solidifies its position as a world leader, while on the home front; the &#8216;traditional family&#8217; takes center stage. Milestones include: the arms race between the U.S. and U.S.S.R.; Senator Joseph McCarthy\u00b4s &#8216;witch hunts&#8217;; the birth of the Civil Rights movement; the rising influence of television; and Rock \u2018N Roll and the conservative\/religious reaction.<\/p>\n<p>The 1960s<br \/>\nA Global Revolution<br \/>\nInnocence is lost as America struggles on many levels, not only politically and militarily, but also socially. Milestones include: tensions reach the boiling point between the U.S. and Cuba; the assassinations of four political leaders; the Vietnam War, anti-war demonstrations and the Civil Rights movement; the Space Race; and the hippie culture and the British Invasion.<\/p>\n<p>The 1970s<br \/>\nPower Plays<br \/>\nAs the Vietnam War comes to an end, the Middle East becomes a powder keg and the Nixon Administration collapses. Milestones include: the fall of Saigon; the Watergate Scandal; Americans taken hostage in Iran; home life changes dramatically with easier access to microwaves, fast food and VCRs; and the Disco Revolution.<\/p>\n<p>The 1980s<br \/>\nA Decade of Decadence<br \/>\nDespite a series of ecological and technical disasters, the booming American economy spawns the catchphrase &#8216;greed is good.&#8217; Milestones include: the Challenger and Exxon Valdez disasters; the shootings of President Reagan, Pope John Paul II, and John Lennon; improved relations between the U.S. and U.S.S.R.; the S&amp;L Scandal and the Iran-Contra Affair; and an exploding market for cell phones, PCs and crack cocaine.<\/p>\n<p>The 1990s<br \/>\nAmerica\u00b4s Hard Drive<br \/>\nThe world becomes &#8216;smaller&#8217; in an age of instant access, but some find themselves in an age of information overload. Milestones include: the Persian Gulf War fought with computerized weapons; personal computers, beepers, cell phones and fax machines become commonplace; former communist nations make the difficult change to capitalism; shocking rise of violence and terrorism in the U.S.; athletes led by Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire become role models in American culture.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delivery system<br \/>\n===============<br \/>\nFace to face from our office<br \/>\nDownload from Dropbox link<br \/>\nCourier Service<\/p>\n<p>Payment system<br \/>\n==============<br \/>\nFace to Face<br \/>\nbkash-01716197088<\/p>\n<p>Contact<br \/>\n========<br \/>\n01919197088<br \/>\n01716197088-bkash<br \/>\n01552551768-office<br \/>\nqrtzcom@gmail.com<br \/>\nwww.quartzbd.com<br \/>\nwww.facebook.com\/quartz.bd<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":712,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[54,133,37],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-711","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-all-video-tutorials","7":"product_cat-encyclopedia","8":"product_cat-educational","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quartzbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product\/711"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quartzbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quartzbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quartzbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=711"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quartzbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/712"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quartzbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quartzbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_cat&post=711"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quartzbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_tag&post=711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
