Features: There has always been controversy over which events should be recorded in history. For world history, this issue is even more challenging. If history is composed of a series of stories, then the problem can be resolved by describing the stories or series of stories that best depict the transformation of society from a small tribal community to the diverse and vast communities we live in today, such as the United States and countries similar to it. It is possible that this story does not directly lead from one situation to another but is divided into several parts with different developmental trends. The next question in world history becomes which part is decisive, determining where the turning point in history lies, and dividing the collective experience into different stages connected to the continuous development of world civilization.
