The '''20th century''' (1901-2000) is the century in which most of us were born. It has been called "The American Century" and "The Bloodiest Century", because during most of it [[America]] was fighting wars for [[democracy]]. The 20th century was the century of [[World War I]], [[World War II]], [[Korea]], [[Vietnam]], and [[Iraq]], as well as smaller conflicts such as [[Rwanda]] and the [[Falkland Islands]].
However, the 20th century was also a century of inventions. The electronic [[computer]] was invented in the 20th century, and popularized by pioneers like [[Bill Gates]] and [[Microsoft]]. The [[automobile]], invented in the nineteenth century, was popularised, and the [[refrigerator]], and many other items that the world takes for granted today. On the other hand, some inventions, like the [[telegraph]] and the [[steamship]], went out of style and were forgotten.
Presidents in the 20th century included [[William McKinley]], [[Gerald Ford]], and [[George H. W. Bush]] among many others.
Fox, the company in charge of [[Fox News]], used to be called [[20th Century Fox]], but they changed their name shortly before the century was about to change.[http://www.hollywoodlostandfound.net/stories/studiologos/page3.html]
The 20th century came between the [[19th century]] and the [[21st century]], that we are in now.
