标题:Events to Shake, or Gently Rattle, the World in 2025
正文：We approach an interesting juncture in 2025: the end of the first quarter of the 21st century. The first 25 years of any century feel a bit foundational. Consider the first 25 years of the 1900s: Orville and Wilbur Wright’s flight in Kitty Hawk, N.C., in 1903 ushered in the golden age of air travel. In 1917, the Bolsheviks stormed the Winter Palace, the seat of the czarist government in St. Petersburg, paving the way for Russia to enter the Soviet era. Just two years later, in 1919, the Treaty of Versailles redrew Europe, precipitating Adolf Hitler’s rise to power and, ultimately, World War II.
