About World HistoryLearn More

The history of the world or the history of humanity is inferred to be singular, but it is actually formed from a collection of histories. The history of the world is less predictable than before and is understood more after the emergence of different "history of the world", such as the emergence of two world powers, the United States and the Soviet Union; Decolonization of Asia and Africa in the 20th century; or older than that: the emergence of European imperialism in the 19th century; The industrial, political and social revolution of the late 18th century onwards; or even the century of geographical discoveries, etc., and the creation of a world market from the 16th century onwards. Of course, the importance of Europe is emphasized in all of these.
