The '''20th century''' (1901–2000) 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]], the Iran-Iraq War, 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]] of [[Microsoft]] and [[Steve Jobs]] and [[Steve Wozniak]] of [[Apple Computer]]s. Many inventions that we take for granted today, such as [[antibiotics]], [[plastic]], [[SCUBA]] gear, the [[transistor]], the [[microwave oven]], [[radar]], polio [[vaccine]], the [[airplane]], and the [[cellular phone]] appeared in the 20th Century.<ref>http://www.enchantedlearning.com/inventors/1900a.shtml</ref>
