Because it was for the first time in history in the 20th century that the world became aware of itself, through the media, of what a place it was. People became aware of foreign lands in a big way, people became aware of news events throughout the world. Although the internet has revolutionised this now I didn't have Internet access in the 20th century, but I was far more aware of my surroundings than my forebears had had. Given that the 20th century has the two greatest global conflicts WW1 &WW2 which affected millions & millions of people is obviously significant. I am sure there are other important factors....

Why do we call the 1900s the 20th century?

It is because there have been 1900 years gone and we are in the next 100 years. 1900, marked the 1900th year and so the end of the 19th century. The 20th century started in 1901 and ended in 2000, not from 1900 to 1999. The year 2000 indicated 20 hundred years, so 20 centuries. So any time during the period from 1901 to 2000 was the 20th group of 100 years and so the 20th century. The 1st century ran from 1 to 100, the 2nd from 101 to 200 and so on, so the 20th was from 1901 to 2000.
