    Rise through Force: European Hegemony and the Military Revolution With the dawn of the second millennium (C.E.), the bulk of Europe existed as a relative backwater and there was little foreseeable evidence that this fragmented conglomerate of fiefdoms would eventually surge forth to control a better part of the known and unknown world. But surge forth it did, and by the twentieth-century the West , for better or worse, had come to dominate and influence societies around the globe. As the ubiquity of Western culture and influence stands as an unprecedented historical benchmark, the question naturally arises: How did it come to pass, that a relatively unsophisticated mass of warring polities should change the entire course of human history to a degree previously unimaginable and unforeseen?…

    After reading “How China Became Capitalist” I realized not only how much I didn’t know about China, but also the history of that region. I’ve been to Thailand twice, once to just to backpack through certain areas by myself. Looking back, I did all the things a tourist would do, but never learned anything about the history of the country I enjoyed visiting. This book gave a nice summary of the economics of China and completely changed what I thought their history would be.…

    To the McNeills, what drives history are the intricate overlapping webs of interaction, which have drawn humans together since the birth of history. As these small webs are nourished, they thicken and intertwine, moulding hunter-gatherers into agricultural societies and forging towering empires into the world of today. The McNeills’ overview of history ultimately retells the story of the past through a dynamic medium with the growth of the world web as its motor. Their greatest strengths, and what truly strengthens their recording of history, is their ability to bypass the trap of focussing on the great men of political history and instead view the past through a variety of lens — chiefly social history. They facilitate this assessment by providing…

    The quote “World History is nothing more than the history of the British Empire and the American century,” proves to be accurate in many ways, but is fundamentally untrue. Colonization within Asia, Africa, and Latin America allowed the ideologies of the British and American empires to infiltrate the countries. Moreover while many nations have followed the economic and political models set forth by the British and American empires, each nation has a basic history that is characterized and individual to that nation. Due to the advanced technologies in the Britain and America, the two countries were able to reach economic prosperity quicker than other nations.…

    Global Interaction

    History is comprised of alliances and oppositions, both of which can be achieved only through interactions amongst other empires, kingdoms, or other geographical areas. However, there is much more relevance to global interactions than simply that. Global interactions are the prime source of cultural diffusion, or the spread of ideas, beliefs, and cultural activities from one group of people to another. This often leads to adaptations of new traditions, religions, languages and many other practices. Although very common in the 21st century, global interactions were very infrequent and uncommon in the past, either due to the geographical proximity or fear of the unknown.…

    For more than 3,000 years, different dynasties have controlled China, and each time a dynasty weakens, the dynasty is overthrown and the next ruling family will determine be determined by who wins out in the ensuing chaos and war;however the rebels have completely changed that. They ended more than 3000 years of culture and history by overthrowing the Qing dynasty, causing China to enter a new stage of instability and chaos..” Mansa Musa quickly agreed, “it is the best of interest for a country to be ruled by a monarch; although some monarchs are inefficient rulers, most of them are qualified for the job and allow for their countries to thrive economically and socially, despite the condition of their people.” Tupac straightened up in his chair and glanced at Liu Bang, “In all honesty, the monarchy was doomed in China, as the western nations invaded and humiliated the chinese, causing the people to clamor for change, ultimately leading to the Revolution of 1911 and the establishment of the republic.” Pol Pot looked at Tupac Amaru and nodded in agreement, Pol Pot took big gulp of wine, exhaling deeply when he…

    Student Protestors

    The leaderships’ response to the spring 1989 popular demonstrations before and after the night of June 4 was completely unnecessary and extreme. There is no justification for the slaughter of unarmed civilian protestors. The students and other protestors play a key role in the lead up to the events that unfolded, but the slaughter of hundreds if not thousands was completely uncalled for. But, no compromises were willing to be completely agreed on, multiple times, because there was always a small group of minority extremists that insisted to continue on. Declaring martial law and calling the student protestors counterrevolutionaries is too extreme of a measure to impose upon their own unarmed citizens.…

    The bedrock of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) carries the firm imprint of its architect, Mao Zedong. Revered to the extent of a semi-divine individual, he ruled with irrefutable authority and possessed an extraordinary cult of personality. The mark of the Great Helmsman, which was altogether political, cultural, and ideological, had dramatically defined the country. However, his tenure was contingent on his own mortality. Mao’s death in 1976 spurned a political crisis in which the question was no longer whom but Mao?…
