This second volume in the ten-part series
The 20th Century examines the 1910s, a decade best known for the cataclysmic events involving World War I. The documentary starts with an analysis of the manufacturing growth that rang in the new decade, with special consideration of the Ford Motor Company. However, this growth eventually becomes overshadowed by the "Great War," which involved nations all over the globe. Other issues discussed include women's suffrage, labor unrest, and the popularity of jazz music. The 1910s: Modern Age Begins gives a broad overview of a crucial decade filled with war, peace, and unparalleled changes. ~ John Schietinger, All Movie Guide
