The starting point and development of compiling historical maps in different countries are different, and great progress has been made so far.

① General historical map.

There are Britain's Muir Historical Atlas (1956) and The Times World Historical Atlas (1978), France's La Ruse World Historical Atlas (1978), and the Soviet Union's Atlas of Soviet History Teaching (No./kloc Volume 3, 1950), American Atlas of World History (1976), German Atlas of World History (Volume 1,1976; Volume II 1978), World Historical Atlas of Italy (198 1), Historical Atlas of Africa (1985), Historical Atlas of South Asia (1978) and Historical Map of Japan.

Among them, The Times Atlas of World History in Britain has a great influence. More than 0 versions of 10 have been translated, and the Chinese version was published in 1982 (see photo).

It is a large-scale atlas of world history since ancient times, including paper, maps, tables and maps. The paper is not only an explanation of the map, but also a high summary of history.

The details of the atlas are not enough, and there are still many places in China that need to be revised and improved.

② Special historical map.

There are World Archaeological Atlas (1975), Soviet Party History Atlas (1976) and World War I Atlas (1970).
