Features: This book adopts a large-scale chronological chart format, aiming to reflect the general outline of world historical changes from ancient times to the modern era. Using the spatial scope of historical events (i.e., the major regions of the world) as the horizontal axis and chronological order as the vertical axis, it systematically records historical developments. The historical events covered include politics, economics, military affairs, diplomacy, law, culture, and science and technology. The basic historical content is recorded by region and country. Culture and science and technology are separately listed in dedicated columns, featuring important events, figures, theories, writings, inventions, creations, schools, as well as significant scientific and cultural achievements and the spread of religion.
