Modern Family

history. It is the in efforts of the people that orchestrate the course of events that will eventually shape not only our modern world, but the course of human history. But why is that, throughout history, certain societies were able to dominate the historical stage, and other societies cannot help but go extinct? For example, Europe and China both had a “Golden Age”, but in the modern world, Europe becomes the “sole power”, and China lives in just a corner of the world. Same mankind, but why…
