1. The concept of global history was formed in 1950s and 1960s. It was first put forward by European and American scholars, among which American historian L? s？ Stavri and Anoos (the authors of A General History of the World) are the most representative. The basic feature of the "global view of history" formed since 1950s and 1960s is to treat the history of human society as a whole. The "global view of history" breaks through the traditional historical framework of western European centralism represented by Frank, and examines history from the overall development and unity of world history. Its research field of vision includes not only the history of Europe, but also the vast areas of Asia, Africa and Latin America that rose after World War II. As Stavri Anoff, a western historian, said in his General History of the World, its "main characteristics are: it studies the history of the whole world rather than the history of a certain country or region; Pay attention to all mankind, not limited to westerners or non-westerners. " 2. Because the historical view of civilization covers the historical view of globalization and modernization to a great extent, it is a more macroscopic historical view. In the past, our understanding of history was one-sided, and we mistakenly thought that only war, revolution and regime change were history. In fact, other human activities in the past-economic, social, spiritual and cultural activities-also constitute history. It is a progressive history of studying human material civilization, spiritual civilization and political civilization. This is the viewpoint of the history of civilization. "A history of human social development is essentially the evolutionary history of human civilization."
