What world events happened between 1878-1967?

Answer 1

Though the 63 years between 1882 and 1945 have a vast amount of history, I believe the following time-line summarizes key points in the development of the world as a whole. 1885 L.A. Thompson patents the roller coaster. 1885 Pharmacist Dr. John Stith Pemberton invents a carbonated beverage that would be named Coca-Cola. 1885 Benz develops first petrol-driven car, starting the most profound technical and social revolution of the modern age. 1888 George Eastman registers the trademark Kodak, and receives a patent for his camera which uses roll film. 1890 The corrugated cardboard box is invented by Robert Gair, a Brooklyn printer who developed production of paper-board boxes in 1879. 1891 James Naismith invents basketball. 1892 Rudolf Diesel applies for a patent on his compression ignition engine (the Diesel engine). 1893 The United States Supreme Court legally declares the tomato to be a vegetable. 1893 New Zealand introduces unrestricted women's suffrage. At this point women win the principle of full political equality. 1899 David Hilbert creates the modern concept of geometry with the publication of his book Grundlagen der Geometrie. 1900 Max Planck announces his discovery of the law of black body emission, marking the birth of quantum physics. 1901 Orville Wright flies an aircraft with a petrol engine at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina in the first documented, successful, controlled, powered, heavier-than-air flight. 1904 The first successful caterpillar track is made (it later revolutionizes construction vehicles and land warfare). 1905 Albert Einstein submits his doctoral dissertation On the Motion of Small Particles..., in which he explains Brownian motion. In the course of the year, Einstein publishes 4 papers, formulates the theory of special relativity and explains the photoelectric effect by quantization. 1917 Russian Revolution creates the first successful, longterm revolutionary state. 1918 End of the First World War. The Habsburg and Ottoman empires collapse; maps of Europe and the Middle East are redrawn. 1939 Outbreak of Second World War: 50 million die worldwide from 1939-45 in the world's largest and most deadly conflict, which ends the long age of imperialisms. 1945 End of Second World War; when the first nuclear bomb is detonated, mankind develops the means to destroy itself.
