ALAN TAYLOR | FEBRUARY 25, 2021 | 40 PHOTOS | IN FOCUS
A century ago, Russia was enduring a terrible famine, the Irish Free State was created,
U.S. President Warren Harding was inaugurated, the Tulsa Race Massacre took place in Oklahoma
A new machine called a “dishwasher” was introduced,
New York’s Madison Square Garden was home to “the world’s largest indoor swimming pool,” and much more.
Please take a moment to look back at some of the events and sights from around the world 100 years ago.
