The slow and steady nature with which China has evolved into what can now be termed as a globalised country is largely attributed to China’s quest to remain inward-looking for a very long time. In most historical accounts, the evolution of China from an inward-looking country to an international stage player who has a lot of influence on other countries and take influence from others have been divided into five major era.

At the turn of 19-20th centuries, capitalism has evolved into imperialism. The world was almost completely divided between the major powers. Uneven economic and socio-political development intensified. States, which entered the path of capitalist development (USA, Germany and Japan) after the others, quickly moved forward and pressed the old capitalist countries - Great Britain and France out of the global markets, aggressively seeking redistribution of colonies. The most acute contradictions have
The alliance system, imperialism, arms race, and military plans created a perfect situation for a war in Europe, which would eventually become the Great War. With Germany, Great Britain, France, and Russia being the top powers in Europe, these countries would be the front runners in the discussion of the topics mentioned above and how their participation in those topics eventually led to the Great War. The order of topics to discuss that would ultimately lead to the Great War would be Imperialism
1. Pablo Picasso and George Braque founded cubism in the early 20th century in Paris. It was an artwork to be considered as the first radical approach in expressing visual reality. According to Cubist, any perception of an object was a composite of simultaneous and different perspectives.

The first people to inhabit the state were tribes of Native Americans. Slowly, the Europeans started to move into the territory that would become Minnesota. These Europeans had the population necessary to establish Minnesota as a state in 1858. The first volume of this book explored the early history of Minnesota, to 1880. This volume, the second, will
individualism and secularism. I will discuss these concepts within the countries of England, France, and Russia, and show my point of view on each. Religion was very dominant throughout the early history in England, especially during the 16th and 17th centuries. This started to change during the late 17th century, when people started focusing more on human reason rather than religion. One of the reasons that people started losing their faith in the church is because of how the bishops were picked,

The diplomatic philosophy behind the League represented a fundamental shift from the preceding hundred years. The League lacked its own armed force and depended on the great powers to enforce its resolutions, keep to its economic sanctions,

On the topic of social changes, he says that, “the industrial revolution had far reaching social consequences, which varied across class and regions. Between the late 18th and early 20th centuries, new family and class structures emerged to
medicine in the 20th century, the medical field started to view intersexual conditions as abnormal and curable through surgery and other options. Starting in the 50s, doctors have used the “concealment-centered model” of healthcare when intersexuality is encountered. Using this model’s derivation, the “optimum of gender rearing model”, doctors “correct” the ambiguous genitals by means of surgery and hormonal treatments. Under this model, gender assignment should be done as early as possible so that
