The General History of the World published by Cambridge University in the United Kingdom is divided into three parts: ancient history, medieval history, and modern history. Modern History was edited by Lord Acton, with a total of 14 volumes, and was published in the early 20th century. Several decades later, in the 1950s, Cambridge University Press published "The New Cambridge Modern History of the World" edited by Sir Clark. The new edition is still 14 volumes, with a total of about 8 million words, covering more than 400 years of world history from the Renaissance to the end of World War II, that is, from 1493 to 1953. National history, regional history, and thematic history are intertwined and discussed, and are written by famous scholars from English-speaking countries. The new edition reflects their recent research results, contains many new materials, and has more substantial content. It represents the higher academic level of the West and has greater influence.
