European civilization in the 27 years from 1789 to 1815 belonged to Napoleon's century. Napoleon was an unprecedented dictator, but paradoxically, he devoted his life to seeking order for France after the liberal riots. After his death, he once again became a son of the revolution, an enemy of absolutism and aristocracy, a symbol of the riots, and a moderate spokesman who constantly demanded freedom. Hegel believed that he was a world force with the meaning of transforming fragmentation into wholeness and chaos into profoundness. This zeitgeist is necessary to maintain order and end individualism, abuse of freedom and broken rule. From this perspective, Napoleon was a progressive force. Europe moved forward for half a century under his 15-year rule.

This book uses an integrated approach to describe all aspects of Italian life during the Renaissance. The term "Renaissance" in this book refers only to Italy. In essence, the Renaissance was an economic expansion achieved by a few smart people manipulating the majority of simple people. Renaissance culture was an aristocratic culture built on the backs of the poor. The politics of the Renaissance were commercial oligarchs and military dictatorships replacing the republic. Morally, it was a pagan rebellion that corrupted the moral standards of religious theory, indulged human instincts, and used the wealth of industry and commerce as they pleased. The Renaissance restored classical culture and ended the thousand-year dominance of Eastern spirituality in Europe. It also spread the seeds of enlightenment to France, England, Germany, Flanders and Spain. Conceptual, moral and artistic trends continued to flow northward from Italy for a century. Between 1500 and 1600, all Western European countries recognized her as the mother of the new scientific, artistic and humanistic civilization.

Starting from the distant Byzantium and Islam, this book gives a general introduction to each of the four medieval civilizations or aspects of each era: Byzantium, Islam, Judaism and Western Europe, and gives as much analysis as possible of the confluence and excitement of these four cultures during the Crusades. Medieval times are a state and a period: in Western Europe we should end with Columbus; in Russia it continues to the time of Peter the Great (during 1725); in India it continues to our own time. This era left behind precious religious, economic, artistic and literary legacies.

The Roman Empire created by Caesar brought order, prosperity and peace to the Mediterranean world for about two hundred years. For two centuries it resisted barbarian invasions and broadcast its classical cultural heritage across the West. The growth of Christianity is not so much the cause of the decline of the Roman Empire as it is the result of the decline of the Roman Empire. The victory of Christ is the destruction of Rome. However, the fact is not that simple. When Christianity conquered Rome, the captured Rome captured its conquerors, and the political power and governance were transferred from the overthrown empire to the powerful pope.
