|& Globalization | |

| |The Big Picture: |

| |The end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century presented a new set of global challenges. In the decades following World War II, imperial colonies in Asia and |

| |Africa gained their independence. These new nations formed democracies and took control of their own economic futures, but many nations faced problems associated with population |

| |pressure, education, infrastructure, civil war, and the rise of military governments. While decolonization dominated Africa and southern Asia, China experienced major changes |

| |after the death of revolutionary leader Mao Zedong. Under Deng Xiaoping, China’s Communist Party relaxed strict socialist policies which allowed China’s economy to boom. Elsewhere |

| |in the world, corporations and trade organizations became more internationally connected. Advances in technology sped up information allowing businesses and governments to better |

| |function across continents. This globalization marked an important transition in the modern era. In the 21st century, much of history has been defined by global terrorism and the |

| |“Arab Spring,” the embracing of human rights and democracy in the Middle East and north Africa. Issues that are current events today will soon be events in tomorrow’s history |

| |books. |
