    This article discusses alternative narratives for understanding the history of the 20th century beyond the traditional Cold War framework. It suggests considering additional themes like decolonization, social and economic development, and globalization. Recognizing these perspectives could help historians move past overly simplistic East/West binaries to gain deeper insights into the modern era. The article argues for consigning rigid Cold War views of the last century to history to allow for more nuanced interpretations of this complex period.
