Does the progressive Era refers to the years following World war 2?
No. The Progressive Era started around 1890 and lasted until the end of World War I (around 1919).
Was World War 1 during the Victorian era?
No, it wasn't. The Victorian Era lasted only during Queen Victoria's lifetime; she died in 1901. World War I began in the summer of 1914.
What was the importance of World War 1 and World War 2?
In a nutshell, World War I dissolved the empires of Europe and set the stage for some countries becoming democratic, and others following the path of socialism, fascism, and communism. Its treaties and boundaries led to bitterness that allowed Hitler to rise to power and start WWII. WWI also brought an era of prosperity in the United States and then depression that spread to the rest of the world. World War II set the stage for a divided Europe, resulted in vast technological advances in warfare, and brought the Cold War upon the world.
Which period came after the Edwardian?
The Edwardian era ended in 1910 with the death of Edward VII. Then his son took the throne (George V), then his son took the throne but for less than a year (Edward VIII) then his brother took the throne (George VI) then his daughter (Elizabeth II). As you can see it would get difficult to name eras after the king/queen when since 1910 we've had 4 of them. That's why historians call the time after Edward VII the 1st World War era, then the Inter War era, then the 2nd World War era and finally the Cold War era-after that I would assume historians would consider it the modern/present era. HOWEVER This is my idea, but I wouldn't be shocked if historians (if given time) will one day refer to the time that Elizabeth II was Queen as the 2nd Elizabethian era. BUT If you really wanted to incompass all the time since Edward VII died into one whole era by using the name of a monarch I would use "Windsor era" because the one thing all the monarchs since Edward the VII have in common is that after him they all were the "house of Windsor." If the monarchy is abolished with-in the next 50 years or so I think historians will one day do this.
Was World War 1 in Victorian times?
No, The Victorian era of the United Kingdom was the period of Queen Victoria's reign from June 1837 until her death on the 22nd of January 1901.WW1 took place between 1914-1918.
