In the tradition of Channel 4's Time Traveller's Guides, here is a guide to the last century, covering conflicts, ideas, political movements, the arts, work and science and technology. In addition, there is an hour's worth of video clips from the ITN archive, extending from the last tsar of Russia to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

But before you can partake of such a feast of historical riches, we ask that you agree to the following.
