Features: This book is a national-level planning textbook for general higher education under the "Tenth Five-Year Plan," and the fourth volume of the four-part World History series edited by Qishi Rong. This volume systematically elaborates on history from the end of World War II to the beginning of the 21st century. The editors have focused on incorporating recent research and teaching achievements into the original six-volume World History: Modern History Edition (Volume 2), combining macro and micro perspectives, as well as the vertical development of history and the horizontal connections among countries and regions, to grasp the overall process and development patterns of world history as a whole. In terms of content, relevant historical facts about Canada, Australia, and other countries have been appropriately supplemented, along with the latest developments and reforms of UN peacekeeping operations. The proportion of post-war science and technology and culture has also been increased, aiming to provide readers with a comprehensive outline of contemporary world history. This book is primarily intended for undergraduate history courses in higher education institutions and can also serve as an authoritative reference for historians studying world general history. Accompanying this volume, the World History: Ancient History Volume (Volume 1), World History: Modern History Volume (Volume 2), and World History: Modern History Volume (Volume 3) will be published by our press in the coming one or two years.
