From the origin of mankind to the formation of a multipolar world in the 1970s, this book lasted for hundreds of thousands of years.

The World Before 1500 consists of 4 parts and 20 chapters, which comprehensively introduces the history of independent development of various regions and nationalities in the world from the origin of human beings to the eve of European expansion.

The world after 1500 * * has four parts and 30 chapters. Based on 1500 is an important turning point in human history, the author proposes that the study of world history should start from 1500. The author thinks that before this, all ethnic groups had a relatively parallel history, but after 1500 years, with the successful navigation of Columbus and Magellan and the discovery of the new continent, there was real direct communication between countries and regions in the world.

The General History of the World deeply analyzes the political system, economic development and social conditions of the Confucian world represented by China, the Muslim world represented by Arabia, and other countries in Asia, Africa and Europe, while analyzing the westerners' overseas career and changing the way of human life. This explains why Europe is the center of external expansion, not other world civilizations such as Asia and Africa. When analyzing the roots of European expansion, the author blames it on militant Christianity. In the author's view, Christianity is full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit to change heresy. From the very beginning, it emphasized that it was a world religion. When Christian leaders carried out the command of "traveling around the world and spreading the gospel to everyone", they adopted a powerful method. Another reason for the expansion of the west is their new level of intelligence. The European Renaissance, which originated in Italy, further affirmed human dignity and creativity. Renaissance, chemical revolution, life science revolution, industrial revolution and socialist revolution broke out constantly in the European continent, which made Europeans at that time represent the latest achievements and the most advanced level of mankind in politics, economy, science and technology and ideology. Europe, which is developing rapidly in the technological revolution and social revolution, has the conditions for overseas expansion. At the end of 15, Europe was only one of the four civilized centers in Eurasia, but by the end of 18, it had completely controlled the foreign shipping routes and formed a world trade that could make huge profits on a global scale. It conquered the vast areas of North and South America and Siberia, and then conquered countries in Asia, Africa and other vast areas, forming global hegemony.
