Povijest #20: Kronologija svjetske povijesti

Povijest #20: Kronologija svjetske povijesti

The penultimate volume of the History edition opens up a vast panorama of world history from 1190 to the present day, encompassing the Middle Ages, the Modern Age, and the Modern Era.

The book, like a chronological mosaic, guides the reader through key moments that shaped civilizations. In the Middle Ages (1190–1500), the world awakens under the Crusades, while the Third Crusade brings conflicts between Richard the Lionheart and Saladin. Mongol invasions shake Asia and Europe, and the Renaissance flourishes in Italy, heralding a new era. The Black Death (1347–1351) decimates the population, changing social and economic relations.

The New Age (1500–1800) brings the Age of Discovery: Columbus arrives in America in 1492, and Magellan circumnavigates the globe. The Reformation tears Europe apart, while the Spanish and Ottoman empires struggle for supremacy. The Enlightenment gives birth to ideas of freedom, and the American (1776) and French Revolutions (1789) change the political landscape.

The modern era (1800–present) is marked by the Industrial Revolution, which transforms societies. The First and Second World Wars (1914–1918, 1939–1945) bring unimaginable devastation, followed by the Cold War (1947–1991), the space race, and decolonization. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 heralds globalization, while the 21st century brings the digital revolution, terrorism, and climate challenges.

Concise and vivid, this book combines historical milestones with cultural and scientific advances, offering insight into the complex tapestry of human history, from medieval fortresses to modern metropolises, and an invitation to think about the future.
