While I agree with the Age of Imperialism to 1914, I would have posited that 1914-1991 would be the European Civil War, which took a global form, as the events of 1914 lead not only to those in 1939, but also created the Soviet Union, which dominated the post War environment until it fell in 1991. Entire essays could be written on this aspect. The Age of Peace was but a lull while the world took stock of what had happened with the loss of symmetrical power and turned towards one of asymmetrical power. From a philatelic collection stand point, the "Age of Terror" might be apt as it is also the rise of privatisation of the postal services, and rise of IGPC, Stamperija and possibly others and the fleecing of their wallets. dkennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05542543752747235704noreply@blogger.com
