History of the world

centuries, Europe’s grasp on the world has strengthened and tightened increasingly, the “Western” influence becoming one that is looming and inevitable. Europe’s pre-eminence emerged almost accidentally, the product of an incidental group of conditions in the world economic system that Europe and America were able to properly exploit. This western influence that they exhibited was one that gleamed of new technologies and modernization, expecting the eastern world to quickly adopt their version…

In his article, “Why Study World History?”, Jerry Bentley discusses the great benefits of historical study, though at one point he heavily focuses on the impact historical study has on three key qualities of wisdom. He discusses the uses of these skills and their benefits to those who seek to improve them. These qualities of wisdom, cognitive skill, intellectual flexibility, and use of judgement, are highly regarded not only in the field of history, but in all aspects of life. The first quality…

many issues in this world. I went to four, or five different schools in three different counties; moreover, I took all kind of different world history classes. First, in world history we always talk about war. Wars take over in our world. Second, people always blame other counties for their problems.

One of the biggest linguistic effects of…

hat nuclear warfare had. Nuclear power is much more powerful than the heavy artillery that World War I fighters used while in the trenches. The Holocaust of Jewish people by the Nazis is exclusive to World War II while the Ottoman Empire’s, or Turkey’s, genocide of Armenians was exclusive to World War I6. The sequence in which the two World Wars took place varies greatly. World War I started when Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, as the country wanted to reaffirm its right to…

As political and industrial revolution scoured across Europe in the 19th century, governments and businesses began to take a particular interest in a continent of Africa. Due to the challenges it presented in previous centuries, it was not susceptible to imperial conquest similar to the Western Hemisphere in the 16th century. With the outset of the Industrial Revolution, along with its subsequent aspiration for raw materials and potential markets, a new set of motivations helped shape the…

World War II was the most destructive war and holds the record of the most people killed in a war. The estimate of how many people is 60 million and is still going up.

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand started everything (Greenspan, 2014). He was the Archduke of Austria. The United States entered the war in 1917. President Wilson went…

Nevertheless, not taking history doesn’t mean that we can’t learn from recent tragedies and events, and it doesn’t mean we can’t learn the lesson on how different things can lead to others. Remember, almost every person in the United States has the internet right at their fingers, whether it be via phone or computer; you even are on the internet just to read this paper. I’ve never learned about World War I, World War II, or ISIS in history class and I already know a lot about it.…
