What is the beginning of modern world history?
The modern history of the world began with the Russian October Revolution of1917165438+1October 7. The reason for this is the following:

1. The victory of the October Revolution in Russia established the first socialist country in the world and opened a new era of human history and social development. After hundreds of years of capitalist rule, mankind began to move towards a brand-new society-* * * capitalism.

The victory of October Revolution opened a new chapter in world history, and the modern history of the world began. From then on, the social essence of capitalism began to appear in the world.

The victory of the October Revolution ushered in a new era in human history, and paved the way for the proletarian revolution and the national liberation movement in colonial and semi-colonial countries all over the world.

The modern history of expanding the information world is the human history after the October Revolution, and it is the history of capitalism and socialism developing together and learning from each other. First, it began in the history of human civilization, and after the steam technology revolution and the electric power technology revolution, it made another great leap in the field of science and technology.

The October Revolution in Russia gave birth to the first socialist country in the world, and a new social form-socialist society appeared. The Soviet Union has made great achievements in socialist construction, but it has also paid a heavy price. The capitalist world achieved temporary relative stability in the 1920s, but an unprecedented world economic crisis broke out in 1929.

In order to get rid of the crisis, the United States implemented Roosevelt's New Deal with the state regulating the economy as the main content, and Germany, Italy and Japan tried to find a way out by establishing fascist dictatorship and external expansion.

After World War I, a new system of international relations was established, namely the Versailles-Washington system. In 1930s, the fascist countries of Germany, Italy and Japan provoked the Second World War in order to destroy the Versailles-Washington system, dominate the world, frantically expand their armies and prepare for war, and constantly invade and expand. The war ended in the complete failure of fascism.

The world is becoming an indivisible whole. Under the impetus of economic globalization, the historical process is gradually internationalized, and the development models of all countries in the world are nationalized and diversified. The contradictory unity of globalization and diversification constitutes a complex situation, in which all countries in the world are interdependent and competitive. While human society has made unprecedented progress and great development, it has also experienced unprecedented suffering.
