In 500 years, what will history books say about the 20th century?

Answer 1

The 20Th century gave the western man a clear example of where he was headed.
On August 1914 witnessed the kind of horror that man is able to start but is unable to stop.

1939 to 1945 World War II resulted in the deaths of over 60 million people, making it the deadliest conflict in human history.

On August 6, 1945, a B-29 Superfortress, the Enola Gay, dropped a nuclear weapon dubbed Little Boy on Hiroshima, destroying the city. On August 9, a B-29 named Bockscar dropped the second atomic bomb, dubbed Fat Man, on the port city of Nagasaki.

The 20th century was also witness to the failure of communism, an experimental system of government, characterized by the government control of all the economic resources. That system resulted in one of the most oppressive systems in human history.

There was also the Vietnam War which occurred from 1959 to April 30, 1975 in Vietnam.

In spite of those multiple examples and evidence (and many others), of what humans are capable of doing, they did not learn.
