20th century

This dimension groups countries by the era in which they were founded or became independent. Wikipedia defines independence as "a condition of a nation, country, or state, in which residents and population, or some portion thereof, exercise self-government, and usually sovereignty, over its territory," and the date that happened is exactly the era this dimension records. Browsing by founding era groups countries that emerged from similar historical circumstances.
