The first step in interpersonal communication is to exchange names, and then to understand each other's life experiences. To understand the situation of a country, we must first know its name, then know its position on the earth, and then explore its life experience-the process of historical evolution.
The history of various countries provides us with these basic knowledge contents.
According to the research results of anthropologists, paleontologists, geologists, archaeologists and historians, it is generally believed that human beings were born somewhere in the world about three or four million years ago. Today, more scholars and experts believe that human beings were born somewhere in East Africa (some people think they were born somewhere in Asia). Subsequently, it spread to other regions. Before entering the civilization period, mankind experienced a long period of ignorance and barbarism. About 10 thousand years ago, people knew how to farm and raise livestock, and gradually began to live a settled life.
Settled life enables human culture to gradually accumulate and be passed down from generation to generation. Finally, the culture has accumulated to a certain extent, and mankind has finally jumped into the stage of civilized society.
"State" is a form of political organization after human beings entered the stage of civilized society. According to the textual research of existing historical materials, some of the earliest city-states of mankind were born in the lower reaches of the two rivers in West Asia (roughly in today's Iraq) and the Nile River in Africa (in today's Egypt) five or six thousand years ago. Later, many city-states appeared in the Indus Valley in South Asia, the Yellow River Valley in East Asia and the Aegean Sea in South Europe.
More than 5,000 years later, with the development of history, human footprints have spread all over the world. Today, the world belongs to more than 200 countries and regions. Among them, independent countries 193 (as of the end of 1999).
Today's 193 country is not ancient. These countries are the result of the evolution of world history to today.
To understand these countries, we must know the process of their formation and evolution. The historical pursuit of the country explains the evolution of these 193 countries on the earth for thousands of years. Simple and clear.
What is mainly described here is the evolution process of these countries. Of course, the historical evolution of any region, any nation and any country is multifaceted, involving economy, politics, society and culture. However, political evolution and change have played a key role in history. What the history of various countries conveys to you is the information about the political evolution and changes of these countries.
