PERIOD six 1914 to Today Key Concept 6.1 Science and the Environment Rapid advances in science altered understandings of the universe and the natural world and led to the development of new technologies. These changes enabled unprecedented popula9on growth, which altered how humans interacted with the environment and threatened delicate ecological balances at local, regional and global levels. Key Concept 6.2 Global Conflicts and their Consequences At the beginning of the 20th century, a European- dominated global poli9cal order existed, which also included the United States, Russia and Japan. Over the course of the century, peoples and states around the world challenged this order in ways that sought to redistribute power within the exis9ng order and restructure empires, while those people and states in power afempted to maintain the status quo. Other peoples and states sought to overturn the poli9cal order itself. These challenges to and afempts to maintain the poli9cal order manifested themselves in an unprecedented level of conflict with high human casual9es. In the context of these conflicts, many regimes in both older and newer states struggled with maintaining poli9cal stability and were challenged by internal and external factors, including ethnic and religious conflicts, secessionist movements, territorial par99ons, economic dependency and the legacies of colonialism. Key Concept 6.3 New ConceptualizaCons of Global Economy, Society, and Culture The twen9eth century witnessed a great deal of warfare and the collapse of the global economy in the 1930s. In response to these challenges, the role of the state in the domes9c economy fluctuated new ins9tu9ons of global governance emerged and con9nued to develop throughout the century. Scien9fic breakthroughs, new technologies, increasing levels of integra9on, changing rela9onship between humans and the environment and the frequency of poli9cal conflict all contributed to global developments in which people craoed new understandings of society, culture, and historical interpreta9ons. These new understandings ooen manifested themselves in and were reinforced by new forms of cultural produc9on. Ins9tu9ons of global governance both shaped and adapted to these social condi9ons.
