Features: This book is divided into six volumes: Ancient, Medieval, Modern (Upper), Modern (Lower), Modern, and Contemporary. The historical coverage extends from primitive society to the beginning of 1996. The Ancient volume is organized chronologically, with chapters dedicated to the history of various countries or regions, starting from the beginning of the ancient world. For countries after the 4th century BC, chapters are organized based on horizontal historical connections. The Medieval volume adopts a systematic approach that combines regional and thematic coverage. The Modern (Upper) volume primarily covers the British bourgeoisie revolution, the American War of Independence, the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, the Lyon and Silesian workers' uprisings in France and Germany, the British Magna Carta movement, the birth of Marxism, and the Second International, the Paris Commune, major capitalist countries in the late 19th century, and late 19th-century countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The Modern (Lower) volume focuses on the two World Wars after the human world entered the 20th century, the October Revolution in Russia that established socialist states, and the scientific and technological revolution that transformed human economic and social life as well as ideological concepts. The Contemporary volume is based on an analysis of the fundamental contradictions in the post-war world, reflecting the development process and characteristics of this interconnected yet contradictory unified whole. It also covers the political, economic, military, scientific and technological, popular movement, and foreign relations situations and trends of various types of countries.
