The epidemic of the "Black Death", also called the black plague or bubonic plague, throughout Europe and Asia, has become one of the most famous events in history. This plague killed 30-60 percent of the entire population of Europe at that time, which ranged from 75 to 200 million people. Population growth did not continue until a century later, and the global population did not recover until the 17th century. The deep religious, social, and economic turmoil caused by the black plague was inevitable.

Historians argue that all events that took place in the twentieth century led to World War I (1914-1918). This event was caused by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand II, heir to the throne of Austria, by the Yugoslav nationalist, Gavrilo Princip, in June 1914.

The October Revolution or the Bolshevik Revolution was a socialist Revolution – and at the same time successful, in the world.

The Renaissance sparked the rebirth of civilization after the Black Plague, ridding ignorance and giving birth to the development of mathematics and astronomy.

The Industrial Revolution is often depicted with large-scale machinery industry, the explosion of new inventions, and the beginning of the modern age. The Industrial Revolution first started in 1760 in Great Britain. The exact cause of the Industrial Revolution is not known. However, this event is generally considered to be the impact of the Renaissance, and spread throughout Europe after the French Revolution. As a result, the last traces of feudalism disappeared and the era of modern capitalism began.

Imagine a world without doctors or modern medicine. Very scary, right? It's hard to believe the fact that centuries ago there were still many beliefs that illness was caused by evil spirits or as divine punishment for sinners.

Many think that the American Civil War had implications only in the United States. In fact, the victory of the Union over the Confederacy was a setback for the pro-slavery group at the time. After the Union victory, the republic of the United States was restored and slavery made illegal – a blow to the global slave trade and absolute monarchy. This event is also the deadliest war the United States has ever experienced.
