- For the real timeline, see 20th century at Wikipedia.
The 20th century, defined in the calendar of Earth as the period from 1901 to 2000, was a violent and tense time on Earth, with major conflicts like World War I, World War II, the Cold War and the Eugenics Wars. The dominance gained by the United States of America during these wars would prove to be a crucial circumstance in the prehistory of the Federation.
Decades

Major events
- 1903: At Kitty Hawk on Earth, the Wright brothers conduct the first ever powered manned flight by Humans. (ENT opening credit sequence; ENT: "North Star")

- 1930s: A Civil war breaks out on the planet Xindus which would last until the 2030s. (ENT: "The Shipment")
- 1945: World War II ends with the United States of America being among the victors. The participation of the USA and its dominance over the following decades would lead to developments resonating on into the 24th century. (TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever"; ENT: "Storm Front, Part II"; TNG: "Manhunt")
- 1947: A Ferengi shuttle from the 24th century crashes on Earth near Roswell, leading to unofficial first Contact between Humans and Ferengi. The "aliens" eventually escape and the event is covered up by the USA. (DS9: "Little Green Men")

- Embarking a new era of technological warfare, World War I is fought on Earth during the early 20th century. (TOS: "Patterns of Force", ENT: "Storm Front, Part II")
- The later half of the 20th century was dominated by a cold war as well as several small conflicts in Asia called the Brush Wars. (TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever", "A Private Little War")
- The Denobulans perfect genetic engineering. (ENT: "Borderland")
- In human games, the penalty box is introduced. (TNG: "Hide and Q")
- Music styles that originated in this century include Jazz, Crooning, and Rock and roll. Composers and musicians include John Philip Sousa, Irving Berlin, and Gustav Mahler
