With the emergence of capitalism and its expansion to the world, large-scale industries "take natural forces as industrial purposes, adopt machine production, and implement the widest division of labor", thus making competition universal and making cross-regional, cross-ethnic and transnational exchanges inevitable.
Marx and Engels pointed out that large-scale industry "created world history for the first time, because it made every civilized country and everyone in these countries rely on the whole world to meet their needs, because it made every civilized country and everyone in these countries rely on the whole world to meet their needs, because it eliminated the natural isolation of countries in the past", and all countries in the world really had close economic, political and cultural ties, and human history really became.
Basic characteristics of world history
1, capitalist economic development, defeated feudalism politically and then formed the world system.
2. The national liberation movement of oppressed nations and people against colonial rule.
3. The rise and development of the workers' movement and the international socialist movement.
4. Ideological changes. The first clue is the most complicated and the main clue, which restricts other clues. It also includes colonial aggression, contradictions in capitalist countries and international relations.
These four contents can also be regarded as the historical trend of the four major advances in modern times. From 17 to 18 century, the general feature of the development of world history is that the world is in the workshop handicraft period and the early bourgeois revolution era. The general trend is the further disintegration of feudal system and the establishment of capitalist system.
The relationship between world history and China history.
1. The history of China is only the history of this region in East Asia, and it is a part of the whole world history.
However, in the general domestic historical research, the history of China is often reflected by the concept of "subject", so the history of China and the history of the world is no longer a subordinate relationship, but a subject-object relationship, which is probably the position and angle that most China people are used to.
At the same time, in the modern west, the eastern society and the history of the eastern society were generally accepted in the image of the Chinese Empire and the post-Eastern Empire era, and such China history became the "object" of scholars accustomed to the position of western social history. They studied the history of China from the perspective of "the other" and anthropology.
2. The history of China is an important part of world history. The history of China is nearly 4 100 years from the Xia Dynasty. It is about 224 1 year from the Qin Dynasty, the first unified dynasty in China. It occupies an indispensable position in world history.

What are the similarities between world history and China history?
1, all experienced the development stages of human history in primitive society, slave society and feudal society.
2. Both have established brilliant empires in history, such as the Roman Empire and the Alexander Empire in world history. China's Daqin Empire, Datang Empire.
