The 20th century was the most dazzling and turbulent century in human history. During this century, humanity miraculously transformed the world, yet history also entered an unprecedented phase of contradiction, conflict, and transformation. Statistics show that over 373 armed conflicts and localized wars occurred worldwide during this 100-year period, resulting in over 100 million deaths and economic losses exceeding $5 trillion. It can be said that the wars of the 20th century pushed the intensity of warfare to its historical peak. "Wars of the Century" studies war, understands war, and prompts further reflection on the issues of war and peace by looking back at the major wars that took place in the 20th century.
