The British Empire in Darwin's eyes was not only created by kings and conquerors but also by the ambition and enterprising spirit of countless individuals. These people include businessmen, investors, immigrants, missionaries, etc. It is their various interests and demands that together form a complex relationship in which each has its own agenda.

The historical mysteries described in the "Youth Classic Culture Light Reading Series: Mysteries of History" edited by Wei Tai are mainly: connecting historical legends, folk anecdotes, stories and legends, picking through sand and gold, and finally finding out some mysteries that reveal the historical truth. But which is the real "answer"? Everyone has their own opinions and no consensus has been reached.

Solving long-standing historical problems at home and abroad is like Chen Jingrun's determination to prove Goldbach's conjecture when he was a teenager. This is undoubtedly a blessing for the future development of social sciences.

It is a huge empire spanning Europe, Asia and Africa and the crossroads of the world. The rise and fall of national destiny affects the direction of world history.

The Habsburg Dynasty, Spain, Tsarist Russia, the Napoleonic Empire, the British Empire, and the Eastern power Ottoman had inevitable collisions. In 1683, the Ottoman army besieged Vienna again and suffered a disastrous defeat; in 1821, a war of independence broke out in Greece under the rule of the Ottoman Empire; at the same time, Egypt also established its own country. Since then, more than twenty countries have broken off from the Ottoman Empire's territories in the Balkans, the Middle East, and Africa. Many of these countries quickly became colonies of European powers such as Britain, France, and Russia. Eventually, the Ottoman Empire itself collapsed after its defeat in World War I. The six-hundred-year history of world empire has become a forgotten and lamented past, while modern Türkiye has opened a new chapter as a republic. In the ups and downs of Türkiye's national destiny, Chinese readers can find the shadow of their motherland and the roots of many international current situations. That imperial era is an indelible and unavoidable historical memory in Europe, Asia, and even the entire modern world.
