Great Events from History—The 20th Century: 1901-1940

Continuing the series Great Events from History, these volumes bring up the world's most important events and developments from 1901 through 1940. The current installment, at six volumes, provides extended coverage of more than 1,000 major events worldwide between 1901 and 1940.Lengthy essays (2-3 oversize pages apiece) provide in-depth analysis and bibliographical resources; worldwide focus includes coverage not only of Western core curricula but also of Middle Eastern, Asian, African, and Latin American events. Every essay has an annotated, up-to-date bibliography. Lavishly illustrated and supplemented with sidebars that quote from key "primary source documents” the chronological arrangement (not regional) facilitates the student comparison of and access to simultaneous events across the globe.
