16 Examples of How Women of Different Nationalities Have Changed in the Past 100 Years

For the past 100 years, we have changed quite a lot compared to our ancestors. It’s the conclusion scientists have arrived at. For example, people of today are taller and thicker than people of the past. And we also look much younger. This is thanks to the development of medicine, quality of food, and many other factors.

We at CHEERY decided to check it. For this, we’ve compared photos of people of different nationalities: the photos on the left were taken around 100 years ago, and the right ones are modern.

Of course, it’s hard to say how much women of certain nationalities have changed by just looking at 2 photos. But it’s really fascinating to see how much faces, hair, clothes, and makeup have changed in 100 years.

There are more than 220 different nationalities in the world. We’ve only compared 16 of them. What other nationalities would you like to see comparisons of?
