Short twentieth century

Encyclopedia : S : SH : SHO : Short twentieth century

---

Created in analogy to brother era names felt to overlap specific time periods, The Short Twentieth Century is a term used by some historians to denote the period 1914—1989 (or perhaps a couple of years later - the Cold War has no exact end date), where World War I and the fall of the Soviet Union represented such significant changes in world history as to redefine the era.
