A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Islamic gunpowder empires fell into decline and European imperialism brought much of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and almost all of Africa under colonial rule.

He wrote several novels, including "Der Weg zur Sonne" (1906) and "Krieg" (1907).

People were hospitalized after watching the movie and one woman, after seeing it, woke up one night, went out on the street in her nightshirt and screamed "Now I am going to die!

Released in 1919, before ''The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari'' (early 1920), it might have become a prototype of German Expressionism, German Expressionist cinema if it had been widely seen." Reinert married actress Thea Steinbrecher in 19 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
