global history

Global history is the study of how different societies, cultures, and civilizations throughout the world have interacted and changed over time. It explores major events, movements, and connections—such as trade, exploration, conflicts, and cultural exchanges—that have shaped human history on a worldwide scale. By understanding these global processes, we gain insight into how diverse societies influenced each other and how our interconnected past informs current global issues. It encourages looking beyond national histories to see the broader patterns and shared experiences that unite human history across continents.
