In 1898 the first popular Sans Serif font was produced, Akzidenz-Grotesk, and that sort of changed things. It went on to influence Miedinger's creation Helvetica. You may have heard of it. Also, in 1919 you had the opening of the Bauhaus school.

Not to mention all the early avant-garde music emerging in the early 20th century, with
Arnold Schoenberg, his
Second Viennese School, and his pupils
Anton Webern and
Alban Berg. Some great stuff happening there.

I don't know if I'd want to have lived during the time of Robespierre and his Reign of Terror. That's actually the origin of the word "terrorism" and it's definition.
