A Fascinating Comic History of the World

Who are India’s “untouchables”? Why were the Athenians and Spartans so different in temperament? What are the historical ties between Christianity and Judaism? Did Spain and Portugal once divide the entire world between them? How did the British monarch gradually lose power? This book draws back the curtain on world history, from the ancient civilizations of Asia and Africa to medieval Europe, the English bourgeois revolution, the American War of Independence, and the French Revolution. The histories of nations, complex and ever-changing, are brought to life through hilarious anecdotes and vivid hand-drawn cartoons. We hope that after reading this book, you’ll laugh out loud and come away with a basic understanding of how today’s world came to be.
