1910s
Titanic's fateful era
The 1910s are the years from 1910 through 1919, or more loosely the era around those years.
The decade saw World War I, the Russian Revolution, and the final years of the Edwardian era: Fashion in the 1910s still favored long skirts and corsets.
Pronounced "nineteen-tens."
