Features: The content of this book: In 1896, Lord Acton planned to compile "The Cambridge Modern History" and made the following remarks on this bold attempt: Now we have a rare opportunity to record all the knowledge that the 19th century will leave us, so that most people can benefit greatly from it. In this century, we cannot write a definitive conclusion; but since we have mastered all the materials and every question can be resolved, we can also write traditional history and demonstrate the milestones we have reached in the process of generational transition.
