Time: Great Events Of The 20th Century

The Story

Since 1923, one magazine -- TIME -- has taken the pulse of the century week by week, and the result is an unparalleled chronicle of our times. Now, the editors of TIME have opened their archives to create this lasting portrait of one of history's most turbulent and memorable eras. From the death throes of Hitler's Nazi Reich to the birth pains of Israel, from the advent of the Iron Curtain to the toppling of the Berlin Wall.
