180 1 year 1 month 1 to 19001February 3 1 this period is called19. The most remarkable thing in this period is the technological and economic progress made by the industrial revolution in Western Europe and North America. Furthermore, various natural science disciplines, such as physics, chemistry, biology, geology and so on. , gradually formed, and influenced the birth or reconstruction of social sciences (including sociology, anthropology, history, etc.). On the other hand, these industrialized countries have successfully colonized most parts of the world through powerful productive forces and weapons, destroyed the existing social and economic systems of many ancient civilizations such as China, Indian and Turkish, and forced these countries to "modernize".

In addition, the rise of nationalism has enabled most European nations to establish their own modern countries and start to establish and preserve their own history and culture.

In society, a large number of social contradictions occur constantly, which makes the socialist forces gradually expand, the most famous of which is Marxism, which deeply triggered the cold war in the next century.

In art, the popular neoclassical art in the last century was gradually replaced by romanticism. Later, stimulated by the scientific and industrial revolution, Europe began to develop towards realism, hoping to capture various situations and people in real life through painting, literature, music and photography, among which Impressionism is the most famous.

Europe

People in industrialized countries began to explore every corner and tribe of the world in an all-round way. On the other hand, evolutionism and nationalism gradually made them feel the superiority of "white burden", which further laid the groundwork for genocide in the first half of the 20th century.

North America

With the turmoil in the world, the United States also fired the first shot to conquer the United States. In 70 years, the territory of the United States has expanded from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. With the gold rush, the establishment of the Statue of Liberty and the development of the western railway, it can be said that the United States is striding towards the future. While other American rulers such as France, Britain and Spain are assembling their main forces in Europe, the United States is also eager to move around emerging democracies. Has launched the invasion of Mexico, Haiti, Cuba and other countries. Religiously, Baptists in the United States began to split, and Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses and Freemasons fought against the Catholic forces of the colonists in this hot land of the United States. But God is fair. When the United States entered Central America, for the same reason, a rebellion led by southern planters broke out. Since then, the United States has started the worst war in history. In the end, the northern army won in the name of liberating slaves. This emerging country, if not the rebellion in the south, the United States is fully capable of holding Mexico and thus opening the door to South America. At the end of 19, due to the rapid development of the United States, its strength far exceeded that of other European powers that expanded at the same time. Europeans began to immigrate to the United States on a large scale. Although the United States was still weak at the beginning of this century, and even embarrassing incidents such as the British burning down the White House occurred, by the end of 19, the United States undoubtedly became the leader of the Americas. The word "American" has completely replaced the English word "American".

China

19th century is the century of innovation in China. During this period, the Opium War, Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Tongzhi Uprising and Boxer Uprising broke out in China successively. The closed-door Qing court began to hear the voice of "learning from the West and learning from the East", and western thoughts and academics began to flood into China on a large scale. It must be mentioned that, like Vietnam, the war broke out in the footsteps of Catholic priests.

Japan

After the Tokugawa era 100 years, Tokugawa, Japan, which had been closed to the outside world for a long time, encountered the same problems as China, such as political conservatism, outdated ideas and oppression of feudal consciousness, which seriously hindered the progress of the nation. /kloc-in the middle of the 0/9th century, an American warship came to Edo Bay. Although they only asked to go ashore for trade, the narrow-minded Japanese overthrew the Tokugawa era because of this armored warship. Soon after, the Emperor's family, which had long existed in name only, advocated western learning and the Meiji Restoration Movement, which changed Japan's fate, began. From "innovation" to "Meiji Restoration",1the dominant position of Japanese culture for more than 200 years will be completely changed in this century.

Korean peninsula

/kloc-In the early 20th century, this policy actually hindered the development of North Korea, because its purebred ancestors rejected Catholicism. Influenced by the success of Japan's political reform, the Korean royal family began to follow Japan's example and advocated "pro-China reaching Japan". Due to the influence of the "two-shift system", the actual power of kingship is greatly reduced, and most of the information is in the hands of two classes or even untouchables. The kingship can't see the strength of Japan after the reform, and of course it can't suppress the voices of the bottom people. Finally, this low oppression triggered the "East Learning Party Incident", followed by the Japanese New Army. The future of the Korean royal family, where to go, has since been controlled by the powers.
