Klappentext zu „Fifty Things You Need to Know About World History “
What are the key 50 events you really need to understand to grasp the developments of our world? In this highly entertaining read Hugh Williams distils world history into an insightful overview. By selecting fifty key people, places, battles, objects and events, he casts a clear eye over the way the world has developed and how we live today.
Injecting life into familiar historical landmarks as well as bringing lesser-known events to the forefront, Hugh shapes the fifty things into themes as all-encompassing today as they were over two thousand years ago: wealth, religion, conquest, discovery and freedom.
The Fifty Things include...
Origin of Species
Model T Ford
The Russian Revolution
Plato
Conquest of Mexico
Mao Tse Tung
Crucifixion of Jesus
Via Egnatia
Worldwide web
Ozymandias
9/11
Nelson Mandela
Coronation of Charlemagne
American Declaration of Independence
Franco-Prussian War
Mahabharata
The Black Death
And many more...
