20th century
The 20th century (1901-2000) has been called "The American Century" and "The Bloodiest Century", because during most of it America was fighting wars for democracy. The 20th century was the century of World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq, as well as smaller conflicts such as Rwanda and the Falkland Islands.
However, the 20th century was also a century of inventions. The electronic computer was invented in the 20th century, and popularized by pioneers like Bill Gates of Microsoft and Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak of Apple Computers. Many inventions that we take for granted today, such as antibiotics, plastic, SCUBA gear, the transistor, the microwave oven, radar, polio vaccine, the airplane, and the cellular phone appeared in the 20th Century. [1] On the other hand, some inventions, like the telegraph and the steamship, became obsolete and all but disappeared.
Presidents in the 20th century included Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and George H. W. Bush among many others.
Fox, the company in charge of Fox News, used to be called 20th Century Fox, but they changed their name shortly before the century was about to change.[1]
