I know it's not an option, but 1880-1980 had to be mindblowing

1869-1969. Post civil war through the industrial era, WWI, WWII, Great Depression, Cold War and saw us walk on the moon.

A lot of advancement in a short period of time. Humans went thousands of years with no electricity and then from the first commercial power station in the US in 1882 to the moon in less then 100 years.

Second option, easily. Industrialization was the biggest change to human existence.

My great grandmother saw an automobile for the first time when she was ten years old. Her father wouldn't let her get close to it because he thought it would blow up. In her seventies she flew to Hawaii on a 747 with one of her grandchildren.

If I remember right I think Winston Churchill was in the last cavalry charge and lived long enough to see a man on the moon

I came here to post this. Antebellum society to the onset of the atomic age is pretty wild.

It’s insane that this was accomplished in about 35-40 years if that
