前言
Dramatic events in the contemporary world——wars, revolutions, terroristattacks, catastrophic natural disasters, economic crises and the endless stream of dailynews often obscure the long historical processes that have created the societies in whichwe live and the problems with which we cope. The mass media pay little attention to thebroader historical patterns and contexts that give deeper meaning to the swiftly movingevents of our era. This new edition of A History of the Modern World may be seen as themost recent version of a continuing search for historical perspectives on the complex,often bewildering, events of our age. It thus carries a guiding assumption that the events,cultures, and conflicts of the contemporary world are always evolving out of the long,complex histories of diverse peoples, ideas, institutions, social mores, economicexchanges, and struggles for political power.These multiple levels of human history have created modem societies and exertedwide influence on people and cultures around the world. This book therefore describes thehistories of specific nations and people and emphasizes landmark events such as wars andrevolutions, but it also stresses broad historical trends that have developed deep below themost prominent historical events and created what we now call "the modern world." Ournarrative explores the rise of nation-states and the conflicts that have shaped the worldover the last several centuries, yet it links such transitions and events to the wider histori-cal influence of the evolving global economy, the development of science and technology,the rise of industry, the significance of religious traditions, the origin and diffusion of newideas, the changing mores of family and social life, and the complex relations betweenWestern cultures and other cultures around the world.
