3,500 years ago, the Mycenaeans, the Greek ancestors who were good at sailing and commerce, entered the historical stage on the islands and peninsulas of the Aegean Sea. Although they experienced a "dark period" of decline, they prospered again after the 9th century BC and developed into Greek city-states led by Athens and Sparta. Alexander's conquests then created the first "globalization" era. In the 2nd century BC, Rome conquered Greece, but the history of Greece did not end with the decline of the ancient Greek city-states. Instead, the Greek civilization further expanded its influence due to the admiration of Rome, laying the foundation for the development of modern science, art, politics, and law. In the Greek-speaking, Christian Byzantine Empire, classical Greek and Roman culture was inherited and developed, and was the envy of the Western world for hundreds of years. Although the fall of Constantinople at the end of the Middle Ages was lamentable, from the Greek merchants of the Ottoman Empire to the Greek Revolution that led the wave of modern national independence, to modern Greece that dominates the merchant shipping industry, the Greeks are still thriving at the intersection of Asia and Europe.

In the author's opinion, the American independence wave from the late 18th to the 19th century brought about the original "split" of the Americas. The American Revolution of Independence was successful, and it quickly established a unified and democratic national system and began to expand into its western interior. However, many Latin American countries fell into dictatorship, secession, civil war, or economic stagnation after independence. When the United States gradually rose in the 19th century, it began to seek hegemony in the Americas, and then became the world's leading force in the 20th century. Regrettably, Latin America has rarely been able to enjoy the righteous deeds of the United States on the world stage since World War I. The general background behind the revolutionary causes of Che Guevara and Castro and Colombia's drug war that we are familiar with is the 20th century America where the hegemony of the United States and the struggle of Latin America went hand in hand.

Throughout the 18th century, the core areas of the Old World faced local shortages of land-intensive products. The East and the West are on generally similar economic development paths, and the West has no obvious advantage.

Introduction to "On Heroes, Hero Worship and Heroic Deeds in History": Thomas Carlyle was a giant in the British literary world in the 19th century. In our country's theoretical works, he is a representative figure of the criticized idealist heroic view of history. In that era when all schools of thought were in darkness and all flowers were withering, people adopted a critical attitude towards him, and few of his works were translated and published. People know very little about his life and thoughts, and their criticism of his wrong ideas cannot be profound. For this reason, the following is a brief introduction and explanation of Carlyle's life story.

What is "the land of Israel"? It is neither the contemporary state of Israel as a nation-state nor the historical Jewish kingdom that emerged from the Fertile Crescent. It is a historical concept that has been continuously accumulated and added to Zionism in different historical periods. Its borders are constantly floating, providing historical legitimacy for the territorial expansion of the contemporary State of Israel. After the publication of "The Fictional Jewish Nation", Schlomer Sander did not expect that in the early 21st century there would be so many critics citing historical rights to defend Zionist colonial activities. This book is a response to these questions. How was the "Land of Israel" fictionalized as a shifting territorial space that should be ruled by the Jewish people? To answer this question, Sander starts with historical evidence, details the Jewish exile myth from the Old Testament period to the establishment and expansion of the modern state of Israel, and deconstructs the Jewish concept of "historical rights" to the Land of Israel and related nationalist narratives. Sander believes that the purpose of the so-called legal-historical logic of the Jewish people is to construct the moral legitimacy of territorial seizure. I did not realize that my country had no borders since its founding, but only mobile modules that always provided the possibility of expansion... What unveiled the mystery of this land was not the death of God, but the nationalization of God, which turned the land into a soil that the new Jewish nation could trample and build as it pleased. --Shlomer Sander

"War and Peace" is a novel written by Russian writer Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy and his representative work. It was written between 1863 and 1869. The work centers on the Patriotic War of 1812 and reflects major historical events from 1805 to 1820. Taking the experiences of the four nobles Balkans, Bezukhov, Rostov and Kuragin as the main line, it connects many events and characters in the alternate description of war and peace. The author cross-describes two lives and two clues of "war" and "peace" to form a magnificent encyclopedia-style epic. The basic theme of "War and Peace" is to affirm the just resistance of the Russian people in this war and to praise the patriotic enthusiasm and heroism of the Russian people in the war. But the keynote of the work is religious benevolence and humanitarianism. The writer opposed the war and gave deep sympathy to the suffering of all parties in the war.
