Features: The World History published by Cambridge University Press in the UK is divided into three parts: Ancient History, Medieval History, and Modern History. The Modern History is edited by Lord Acton, consisting of 14 volumes, published at the beginning of this century. After several decades, in the 1950s, Cambridge University Press published the New Cambridge Modern History, edited by Sir Clark. The new edition remains 14 volumes, totaling approximately 8 million words, covering the history of the world from the Renaissance to the end of World War II, i.e., over four hundred years from 1493 to 1945. It interweaves discussions of national histories, regional histories, and thematic histories, with contributions from renowned scholars from English-speaking countries. The new edition reflects their latest research findings, includes much new material, and is more comprehensive, representing the higher academic standards of the West and having significant influence.
