For hundreds of years, the world has been dominated by the West, and people have been arguing about why the West has so much power. If civilization determines all this, how should civilization be defined and how should it be measured? More importantly, how will civilization determine the direction of the world in the 21st century? This book is written to answer these questions. In this book, world-renowned historian Ian Morris presents the analysis that underpins the claims of How Long Will the West Dominate? He spanned the history of human civilization for 16,000 years and used a series of reliable archaeological evidence, historical data, and modern social data to design a "social development index" that can quantify civilization. He scored Eastern and Western civilizations in different times and spaces in terms of energy acquisition, social organization capabilities, war capabilities, and information technology. He quantitatively described many factors that determine economic and social development trends, so as to pursue the past, present, and future of world civilization. At the end of the book, Morris's data and stories present us with a surprising prediction: the social development of the East will catch up with the West by 2103. Whether for readers who are concerned about the development of contemporary China or the trajectory of tomorrow's world, the analytical ideas and predictions of this book will become a powerful guide to the real future.

In 1853, Tsar Nicholas I invaded the Danube Principalities that are now Romania due to religious disputes. Subsequently... The Crimean War, which lasted for 18 months, caused huge human losses, completely rewritten the political landscape of Europe, and profoundly affected the modernization processes of Russia and Turkey. Figgis quotes extensively from Russian, French, British, and Ottoman Empire documents to comprehensively demonstrate how nationalist sentiments, imperial power struggles, and religious conflicts affected countries' involvement in the war. From kings and ministers, reporters and writers reporting on the war, to officers and soldiers on the battlefield, and women and children in the siege, Figes not only restores the panoramic view of the war from multiple perspectives, but also provides a new entrance for today's understanding of the "Eastern Question" in the 19th and 20th centuries, the relationship between Christians and Muslims in the Black Sea region, and the world rift between Russia and the West.

McNeil's "A Brief History of the World" uses civilization as a unit to write about the interaction of global civilizations, turning the previously isolated and isolated world history into a dynamic and interactive world history, and drawing an interactive network diagram of human civilization. This is considered the beginning of the study of world history. The book is divided into four parts and thirty chapters, starting from the origin of human beings and ending at the beginning of the 21st century.

In the early morning of December 7, 1941, Honolulu residents who were accustomed to military exercises woke up to the noisy sound of artillery fire as usual. They did not realize that a magnificent symphony that staked the fate of the country had already been played... The arrogant Japan declared an undeclared war on the United States. The two giant ships of Pearl Harbor soared into flames, and the unsinkable legend disappeared into the towering black smoke. The Japanese army then became overwhelming. The overwhelming sun flag became the messenger of death on the vast ocean, and the Japanese soldiers were regarded as monsters by their opponents, leaving behind the myth of invincibility. However, the Japanese army's "Victory Disease" gave the US military an opportunity. The Japanese fleet tried to lure the main force of the U. S. Military into a trap and annihilate it in one fell swoop, completely unaware that the movement had been grasped by the U. S. Military. In the end, all the participating aircraft carriers were buried at the bottom of the sea at Midway Island, and the strategic initiative was handed over to others. From Pearl Harbor to Midway, unprecedented fierce naval battles shook the foundations of the participating nations. The battle situation in these six months not only determined the direction of the Pacific War, but also affected the entire situation of World War II. If the balance of history moves even a little bit, the world we know will be completely different. "The Burning Ocean" writes about the gripping initial stage of the Pacific War. From it, we can not only appreciate the strategizing behind Roosevelt and Churchill's chatting and laughing, Yamamoto Isoroku's arrogant gamble, but also the despair of the pilots who narrowly escaped death when faced with the relics of their fallen comrades, and the despair of the fleet commander when he received unfavorable information just after issuing an order. When we rise and fall with the characters in the book, history is no longer out of reach.
