World History

-



World history is the study of major events, people, and cultures from around the globe. It encompasses ancient history, the Middle Ages, and modern history, and covers a wide range of topics such as politics, art, science, and religion.


One of the earliest known civilizations was that of the Sumerians in Mesopotamia, who developed a form of writing and created complex systems of government and religion. The ancient Egyptians also made significant contributions to the fields of architecture, mathematics, and medicine.


In ancient India and China, advanced societies developed with unique cultures and belief systems. The Indian subcontinent saw the emergence of various dynasties, such as the Maurya and Gupta empires, and the spread of religions like Buddhism and Hinduism. In China, the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties laid the foundation for the development of Chinese civilization, and Confucianism, Taoism and Legalism emerged as important philosophical schools of thought.


The ancient Greek civilization made significant contributions in the fields of philosophy, politics, and science. Famous figures such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle had a profound influence on Western thought. The Roman Empire, which emerged around 500 BCE, expanded to become one of the largest empires in the world, and its legal and political systems continue to influence the modern world.


The Middle Ages, between the 5th and 15th centuries, saw the rise of Christianity and the spread of the Islamic empire. The Byzantine Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Islamic Caliphates were major powers of the time. The Middle Ages also saw the beginning of the European exploration and colonization of the Americas and the emergence of the Renaissance.


In the modern era, the world has witnessed major political and economic changes. The Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries led to significant advancements in technology and the rise of capitalist economies. The 20th century saw two World Wars and the Cold War, as well as the rise of communist and socialist ideologies. The end of the Cold War in the late 20th century brought about a new world order, marked by the rise of globalization and the increasing interconnectedness of nations.


In the 21st century, the world has seen major events such as the 9/11 attacks, the rise of China as a global superpower, and the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. Climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic have also had a significant impact on the world.


Throughout history, human civilization has been shaped by a wide range of factors such as politics, religion, economics, and culture. While each period has its own unique characteristics, it is important to understand the connections and continuities between different time periods in order to fully grasp the complexity of world history.

Bhutan History

Bhutan has a rich history dating back to the 7th century when it was first inhabited by the Sino-Tibetan speaking Monpa people. The country was later unified by the Tibetans in the 9th century and became known as Lhomon or "Southern Land of Darkness" due to its inaccessibility. In the 17th century, Bhutan came under the rule of the Bhutanese leader Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal who consolidated power and established the dual system of government that exists to this day with both a religious leader (Je Khenpo) and a secular leader (Druk Desi or Deb Raja). During the 18th and 19th centuries, Bhutan fought several wars with its neighbors, particularly with British India. These conflicts led to the Treaty of Sinchulu in 1865, in which Bhutan ceded control of southern regions to British India in exchange for control over its foreign relations. In 1907, Bhutan and British India signed the Treaty of Punakha which established Bhutan as a protectorate of British India and gave the British...
