Historia świata Odcinek 8: Age of Extremes

In this final episode, Andrew Marr brings the story up to date with the twentieth century - our age. Marr suggests that humanity found itself propelled forward by our "technological brilliance" but limited by the consequences of our "political idiocy". Democracy confronted communism and fascism, and two world wars would underscore our political failures more than ever before. But our achievements were also astonishing - especially in the fields of science and technology. Now, more of us live longer, healthier and wealthier lives than our ancestors could ever have imagined.
