Changes

I love World history for several reasons.  The more we understand other religions the better we can deal with world conflicts.  I also like studying the discovery of knowledge and great inventions.  Do you know what civilization invented the wheel?  Bread?  Mathematics?  Chocolate?  Finally, the greatest military feats are found in World history, so if you like military history then you’ll love World history.  Your challenge is to find what you like about World history, and then connect everything else to it.  Find ways to relate World history to you, and enjoy it.

I like to learn how mankind progressed in understanding the unseen, such as truth and gravity and God.  In mathematics, mankind progressed from the discovery of geometry (Greeks) to the concept of “zero” (Indians) to calculus (English).  In economics, mankind progressed from wage and price controls (Romans) to the “invisible hand” of the free market (English), which then unleashed tremendous prosperity.  Government progressed from rulers who claimed to be gods (Egyptians), to monarchies (Middle Ages), to constitutional republics (United States).  What are we progressing towards now?  Use history to predict the future.

World history is also fascinating because there are many mysteries and controversies about it.  How did the Egyptians build the pyramids?  In what language did Jesus preach?  Why did Islam grow so rapidly?  Who was right, the Catholics or the Protestants?  Is modern Israel a fulfillment of biblical prophecy?  Is democracy compatible with Islam?
