"A Year to Remember", the classic series that recalls the definitive events of the twentieth century, compiles contemporary news coverage drawn from the world-famous BBC and British Pathe archives.

The federal republic of Germany is created on May 23rd and this same year sees China become the communist rule People's Republic of China.
