Macrohistory

Macrohistory is the study of large-scale historical processes and trends that shape societies over long periods. It seeks to understand how major events, patterns, and structures—like economic systems, political changes, or cultural shifts—interact and influence the course of human history. Rather than focusing on individual events or figures, macrohistory analyzes overarching narratives and phenomena that connect different times and places, offering insights into the evolution of civilizations and the interdependence of cultures. This approach helps us comprehend the big picture of human experiences and the complex factors driving historical change.
