The 1900s may refer to:
The Edwardian era or Edwardian period in Great Britain is the period covering the reign of King Edward VII, 1901 to 1910, and is sometimes extended beyond Edward's death to include the four years leading up to World War I.
The death of Queen Victoria in January 1901 marked the end of the Victorian era. Edward was the leader of a fashionable elite that set a style influenced by the art and fashions of Continental Europe—perhaps because of the King's fondness for travel. The era was marked by significant shifts in politics as sections of society that had been largely excluded from wielding power in the past, such as common labourers and women, became increasingly politicised.
Samuel Hynes described the Edwardian Era as a "leisurely time when women wore picture hats and did not vote, when the rich were not ashamed to live conspicuously, and the sun really never set on the British flag'".
The Edwardian period is sometimes imagined as a romantic golden age of long summer afternoons and garden parties, basking in a sun that never sets on the British Empire. This perception was created in the 1920s and later by those who remembered the Edwardian age with nostalgia, looking back to their childhoods across the abyss of the Great War. The Edwardian age was also seen as a mediocre period of pleasure between the great achievements of the preceding Victorian age and the catastrophe of the following war. Recent assessments emphasise the great differences between the wealthy and the poor during the Edwardian era and describe the age as heralding great changes in political and social life. Robert Tressell's popular novel The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists is a strong example of the era's social critique.
this is a video showing berlin, the german capital around the year 1900, although the last scenes are from 1914. ENJOY! P.S I´m sick of repeating it time after time, so here is the following: i just wanted to keep the title as short as possible, so i didn´t want to write " Berlin and germany in the years of 1890-1920" . therfore, i chose the year 1900 to give the viewer a general idea of about what year the footage he is watching is from. So yes, some scenes are from munich,(2) although the very most, 98% or so is indeed Berlin footage. If you own some of that footage or and want credit for it or want it removed, please send me a message and I will delete it immidiatley! Thank you.

As beauty standards change by the decade, at that point pale skin was still in, but blonde hair was out. So as you could imagine, the Edwardian beauty was a brunette with a pale complexion. Not so much the standard these days, huh? But hey, who says you need to go by the standards to ...

I came across this house on one of my winter road trips. Its was way back from the road, but the un-plowed driveway was my first hint that this location may be abandoned. And after a long walk in, SCORE! it was this amazing house. I am not going to lie, from the outside, I was worried about entering, the broken concrete walls we my first hint. But I could not resist..I had to go in. This old house, build some time around 1905 or so ( based on the news paper insulation) is rotting away slowly but surly. I could count on 2 hands how many more seasons it will last. So much structural damage is obvious, but the exploration was exhilarating. The floors were caved in from top to bottom, and the steps to the basement were inaccessible. The small artifacts left about did give some insight t...
