Summary "The Great Events by Famous Historians, Volume 21" by Charles F. Horne is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume compiles narratives from renowned historians about significant global events from 1910 to 1914, chronicling crucial happenings like the establishment of the House of Governors in the United States and the various movements toward democracy around the world, emphasizing their impacts and interconnectedness. At the start of this volume, the editor introduces the five years preceding World War I as a time of remarkable progress, underscoring a global trend toward humanitarianism and democracy. The opening portion delves into several key events, including the formal establishment of the House of Governors in the U.S. in 1910 and the blossoming suffrage movements, alongside the upheaval in countries like Mexico, Persia, and the developments in South Africa. The narratives shed light on how local and international actions during this time shaped the socio-political fabric of the world, setting the stage for future conflicts and changes. The writing blends a reflective analysis of these events with their immediate historical context, presenting an engaging overview of this transformative era.
