100 years in 10 minutes


This video clip assembles brief vignettes of the major events of the past 100 years, compressing them into 10 minutes.







There's some nasty stuff in there. I hope the next 100 years are better - but given humanity's track record, I won't hold my breath . . .

    That is well done, and I agree, not holding my breath over here either!

    90+% of the significant events are in some way connected to war. Most of the rest are natural disasters. Only a few are acts of innovation.
    What was that music?

    Well, they scattered a few good things amongst the violence. All a matter of concentration; they could have chosen more of the good and fewer bad.
