I watched an old film from 1900, it was daily life in Berlin Germany.
It showed a few kids playing in a park and I couldn’t help to think to myself “they had no idea how many hardships they would have in their life.”
Imagine all the problems Germany faced in the 20th century.
World War 1, the economic problems of the 20s, Nazi era, World War 2, Germany divided, possibly being in communist east Germany.
Then late in the century Germany reunification.
Or maybe Russia.
Russia losing 1905 war against Japan, World War 1, Russian revolution, Russian civil war, communist takeover, famines and gulags, Would war 2, after Stalin things become less bad but still very authoritarian, economic decline of 70s and 80s, collapse of Soviet Union but corruption and economic woes in 1990s.
Imagine someone being born in the year 1900 and dying in the year 2000.
Which country in the world would be the most unfortunate to be born in.
