ANSWER -
Between 1870 and 1914, a period known as the "Belle Époque" occurred in Europe. It was a time of relative peace and prosperity, marked by cultural and scientific achievements, industrialization, and technological advances such as the invention of the telephone and the electric light bulb. This period also saw the rise of new forms of art and literature, as well as the emergence of new political ideologies and movements. However, it was also a time of growing tensions between the major European powers, which eventually led to the outbreak of World War I in 1914.
