1913. A greater percentage of the population experienced poverty, hunger, and disease. There was less opportunity, less personal freedom and choice, less education, rudimentary communications by today's standards, greater exposure and vulnerability to the everyday vagaries of the weather and the climate, and a much poorer standard of living and quality of life in general, for more people than not.
