19101913

19101913 is a way to refer to the historical interval spanning the years 1910 to 1913. It is commonly treated as part of the prewar era that shaped the decades leading up to the First World War, marked by nationalist movements, imperial retrenchment, and rapid modernization.

During this period, major geopolitical changes unfolded. The Balkan Wars of 1912–1913 rearranged territorial control in Southeast Europe, contributing to rising tensions among great powers. Albania declared independence in 1912, while the Ottoman Empire lost significant territory. In East Asia, the Xinhai Revolution of 1911 culminated in the establishment of the Republic of China in 1912, ending imperial rule in that region. In the Americas, the Mexican Revolution continued, and the 1913 coup of Victoriano Huerta led to the assassination of democratic leader Francisco I. Madero, a turning point in Mexican politics.

Technological and cultural developments also characterized the era. The sinking of the Titanic in 1912 highlighted both advances in transportation and the vulnerabilities of the time. Industrial modernization accelerated, with innovations in production methods and engineering, including early mass-production techniques that would shape the industrial landscape. In Europe, complex alliance systems and growing nationalism contributed to a volatile international climate.

The 1910–1913 interval is thus viewed as a transitional phase, setting the stage for the broader upheavals of the subsequent decade and the onset of World War I.
