We will begin at the dawn of civilization, examining early empires such as ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, and explore how great civilizations developed across the world in places like China, India, Greece, Rome, and Persia. Along the way, we will investigate how different societies interacted with each other in order to form alliances or wage war; trace the paths of cultural diffusion as ideas spread across continents; look at how technological advances influenced life and warfare; consider economic developments such as mercantilism, industrialization, globalization; analyze political systems like monarchy, democracy, communism; delve into religious movements such as Christianity and Islam; investigate environmental changes due to human activity or natural occurrences; discuss social issues like poverty and inequality – all while highlighting key individuals who made their mark on world history.

We will then shift our focus to the Medieval world, exploring the rise of feudalism, the Crusades, guilds, and universities. We will also look at world events of the Renaissance, Reformation, and Enlightenment periods, including the exploration of the Americas and colonization by European powers. Finally, we will examine world events from the 19th century to the modern day – from imperialism and world wars to economic globalization, decolonization, technological advances, human rights movements, and more. Along the way, we will look at world leaders, world powers, and world events that have shaped our world today.

Through this journey, we hope you gain an appreciation for our shared global heritage.
