This book aims to give the reader a clear sense of history by focusing on historical trends, and tries to reduce the large number of specific dates and names to memorize. Much of the book focuses on events of 1900s, which play a greater relevance to the reader. The book also aims to let the reader acquire better understanding of events that are happening today. As an informed citizen, the reader will be able to make sense of current news and issues, develop his/her own opinions, and find useful guidelines in his/her life. In addition, this book can expand the reader’s reading, listening, and vocabulary skills. Another aim of the book is to provide sufficient historical background on different cultures to help the reader cope with the challenges of a fast-moving world. Globalization and improvement in communications and transportation have expanded job opportunities abroad and increased international trading and traveling.
