SUMMARY: In 1989, with the Cold War ending, the Earth seemed on the brink of a Golden Age. By 2053, 30% of the human population had been annihilated, and the planet was hovering on the edge of collapse into premodern conditions. In 2063, First Contact with extraterrestrial life was made, for the first time. In 2083, a planetary-wide world government was established for the first time, in partnership with our new allies. And in 2161, Earth became the capital of an interstellar federation of sentient species that has since grown to be the most powerful democracy in the explored Galaxy. It is hard to imagine a more momentous era to live through, or one that challenged so many preconceptions and expectations. This paper will provide an overview of these pivotal decades, giving students an introduction to the crucible that forged modern Humanity.
