Features: History may not have created game theory, but it is always applying the principles of game theory. By learning game theory through history, we can master effective strategic thinking. By interpreting history with game theory, we have found another key to reading history. As a theory, game theory is derived from and abstracted from the life of human society, not created out of thin air. The source and resources of game theory come from human society, and the process of human social development and evolution is history. Using game theory to explain history has a great advantage, which is the continuity of history. This can also be considered as a form of "feedback" from game theory to history. Through the interpretation of game theory, some aspects of history that embody the principles and ideas of game theory become prominent, and the strategic wisdom contained in history is unearthed. This is what we call "gaming history."
