Produktbeschreibung

As the 20th century began, America stood at the threshold of an era marked by rapid transformation, not only in its physical landscape but in the very fabric of its culture, economy, and national identity. The turn of the century was a time of profound change, a moment when the ideas of the 19th century collided with the ambitions and innovations that would define the next hundred years. The optimism of the Gilded Age, driven by industrialization, had given way to a new sense of urgency in the Progressive Era. The United States, emerging from the shadow of the Civil War and Reconstruction, was eager to affirm its position as a global leader, not only in terms of military and political power but in its technological and economic influence.

This was an age in which the ideals of Manifest Destiny were slowly being replaced by a new sense of American exceptionalism, fueled by the confluence of an increasingly industrialized society and the intellectual currents of modernity. At the turn of the century, the United States was experiencing a period of significant social, political, and economic shifts that would lay the foundation for the country's transformation into an industrial powerhouse. It was also a time when many of the thinkers, politicians, and innovators who would shape the century's future were beginning to emerge, each with their own vision of America's potential and its place in the world.
