Before studying world history in a textbook

To be honest, world history is very confusing is.
The reason was explained in an easy-to-understand manner.

Why should world history be learned not by "memorizing the year" but by "connecting beads"?

If you understand the reason why world history is difficult to understand, you will be prepared to hope for the lesson, and it will be easier to remember when you remember it. If the link above disappears, it will be a problem, so I will explain why it is difficult to understand even on this site.

Perhaps you can understand it in one shot by looking at this table.

After the first emergence of humankind and the birth of civilization, I went to Europe when I thought that classes in the Middle East would start and study the Middle East as it is, and as soon as I started studying in Europe, I returned to the time when Indian civilization began ... Anyway, it is difficult to remember the flow by going back and forth, and as a result, it is a subject that only remembers the year.

This is the reason why studying world history is complicated.

In the case of world history, it is necessary to understand the connections and influences between countries, so textbooks are written in a format that makes it easier to follow the connections and influences than the flow. In such a form, it is difficult to follow the flow of world history except by memorizing the year.

It should be easier to understand to some extent just by checking the flow divided by region as shown in this table in advance. If you put a sticky note for each region on the textbook and read the textbook only for the part of the same color, you may get a different view.

And one more.
The best thing to do when studying world history in a textbook is to read the explanation part of the chapter.

The textbook I have is Yamakawa World History, but in the case of Chapter 1, for example, under the title "Orient and the Mediterranean World"

It starts with the sentence, and after writing about the Orient civilization and the Aegean civilization that was influenced by it, the situation in Europe after the collapse of the Aegean civilization is written.

And finally, the Roman civilization that was born in Europe

The very important contents are summarized. The explanation of each chapter is a simple sentence of only about 20 lines, but I think that the flow is written concisely and it will be easier to remember at once.

It will be easier to understand if you study world history while checking the flow of each region of the japamala connection, so please check it.
