A view of world history in 13 parts by John Roberts. 12: The Decline of the West In the first half of this century, a stable world of optimism, sanity and progress seemed to go mad. Men lost faith in the civilisation of the West.
Its old heartland - Europe - was wracked by civil wars (1914-18,1939-45) and leadership passed to America.
Russia became separated from it and hostile. Economic failure, the rolling up of colonial empires, fragmentation in the arts and new discoveries in science and in the new science of the mind - psychology - all added to the unease. And in the East, Japan - first militarily, then economically - became a superpower.
But is the day of the West really done?

A profile of one of the century's greatest musicians. Adrian Cedric Boult , founder-conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, was born 100 years ago today. Behind the public image of this great champion of British music as 'an English gentleman with a Colonel Blimp moustache' lies a more complex figure: an acknowledged master of conducting technique and a crusader for new music who believed it was immoral to parade his emotions before the public. The programme features rare archive film including excerpts from Elgar's Introduction and Allegro for Strings (1963) and the BBC Symphony Orchestra playing Beethoven's Fifth Symphony in 1935.
