December 31 is the hinge on which centuries swing. Empires shiver on frozen rivers, constitutions get signed, lights switch on, bridges open, balls drop, wars end on paper, regimes fall, currencies launch, and a quiet memo about “pneumonia” starts a global plot twist. This Echoes volume gathers fifty moments that happened on the final day of the year—military gambles in snow and smoke, inventions that rewired the night, political handovers, and cultural finales that taught us how to say goodbye.
Inside you’ll find crisp, historically faithful line-art pages (no shading, white backgrounds) crafted for immersive coloring, plus bite-size summaries that keep the facts straight and the drama intact. It’s history at the exact moment the calendar takes a breath.
