Ocean Changes in 5000 Years

About This Novel

70% of the earth is covered by the ocean. The history of human conquest of the ocean can be traced back to at least 5,000 years. The ocean is not only a channel for trade and exchanges between different nations and civilizations, but also a battlefield for violence and killing. Many countries have prospered and declined because of the ocean. In modern times, the process of world history has been accompanied by the ups and downs of major maritime countries. So, what forces are controlling the changes in the ocean? Regarding the answer to this question, this book shows two clues: one is the development of science and technology - from wooden paddle sails to steam ships, from large ships and cannons to submarines and aircraft carriers, from conventional power to nuclear power; the other is the development of sea power - from ancient sea power, modern sea power to modern sea power, which is represented by the rise and fall of great powers and the historical process of guiding changes in the ocean. By showing the cross-influence of two clues, this book attempts to reveal how sea power shapes the course of world history, influences the destiny of countries, and affects the global political, economic and military patterns after the emergence of a country, especially after the modern geographical discovery. It is a popular world history book with rich content and a broad perspective.
