War and Economics

In the beginning of 20th century, wars happened. The world war 1 kicked off the unfortunate series of disasterous events that happened one after another. The black thursday, the world war 2 and many more happened after this. The world was like a spoiled child before this. The world is so used to the comfortable lives that nobody was ready for those events. The introduction of photography forced people to take note of the harsh reality in the front line. The public was so indulged in past glory and prosperity that they caught expectedly and unready by the Great Depression. Till 21st century, wars still go on. Humans, one of the most belligerent species on the planet, continually raise wars against each other. The Iraq war, the Jasmine rebellion, the Rebellion against Gadaffi and much more happened in less than 15 years of 21st century. Economy crashed once again. The international depression and the unbearable inflation made everyone panic just like the Great Depression. The exposure to world greatest natural disasters also happen in less than 10 years in 21st centruy. Haiti, Sichuan, Japan, Bali and India all experience merciless backfires of nature. The industrialism in the past put too much strain on our Earth and countries one by one fall victim of the Earth vengeance. Humans, defeated again and again, but got back to their feet. I guess in the future, people will label this period Neo-Renaissance, or new-rebirth.
