Major changes came to the textile industry during the 20th century‚ with continuing technological innovations in machinery‚ synthetic fibre‚ logistics‚ and globalization of the business. The business model that had dominated the industry for centuries was to change radically. Cotton and wool producers were not the only source for fibres‚ as chemical companies created new synthetic fibres that had superior qualities for many uses‚ such as rayon‚ invented in 1910‚ and DuPont’s nylon‚ invented in 1935

The wise one once said that when in the early 20th century‚ most of the continent in Europe had imperialism. I believe that imperialism was the primary cause of the conflicts in Europe that became WW1. The definition of imperialism is one territory or country taking control over a lighter one to control them. Most people‚ historians disagree on whether the primary momentum for imperialism was cultural and economic. In early twentieth century‚ Spain’s imperial power was dwindling. Although‚ most

Political instability in the 20th century started with the onset of World War 1‚ which some would call a defining moment of the century one that sowed the seeds not just of the Second World War but of Communism‚ Nazism‚ the Holocaust‚ and the Gulag‚ among others.
