Introduction to the study of modern world history (lecture 6): From the perspective of countries, regions or the whole world, the process of world modernization presents a wave-like development, with highs and lows, prosperity and crises. When the crisis comes, it will often bring great destructive power and cause historical retrogression. However, crisis also means challenges, potential new opportunities and often the arrival of new opportunities.
Therefore, studying the causes of the crisis, summing up the experience and lessons in dealing with the crisis, and seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages are one of the important topics in the study of the world modernization process, especially in today's global crisis caused by the subprime mortgage financial crisis in the United States, which has become the focus of international academic circles, governments and even the public.
2. "This is the meaning of war."
This is the meaning of war. Published by Hunan People's Publishing House on June 20 13 by Yuan Tengfei. It is a series of "Yuan Tengfei's War Series".
Yuan Tengfei admits that he loved the history of war since he was a child, especially reading, and 70% of his accumulated knowledge is about the history of war. When he was lecturing in a high school class, he couldn't talk about the history of war because of the limitation of the high school syllabus and the fact that the students didn't take this exam, so he felt dissatisfied every time he talked about the history of war. It is really a great event for me to publish a book about the history of the Anti-Japanese War this time.
Modern mode is the continuation of history. Modern disputes are a repeat of history. Understand the history of war, you can see through the changing truth of the international situation! In today's world, although peace is dominant, local conflicts are still inevitable. Today's international pattern is a continuation of World War II, and most of today's international disputes can be found in World War II. Therefore, in order to see through the truth of the current international situation, it is a more reliable method to study the history of World War II.

5. The coldest winter is a book published by Chongqing Publishing House on 20 10. The writer is david harbour Stam.
In the smoke-filled 20th century, why did the Korean War alone make Americans unable to bear to speak but unable to forget? This time it is no longer awkward, but a comprehensive review. Kim Il Sung "wanted to touch the land in the south with a bayonet" and almost ignited the war of "World War III"; The vulnerability of Li Chengwan's army forced the United States to fight naked under the banner of the United Nations; The strategic intention behind Stalin's inaction made Mao Zedong face a difficult choice whether to send troops to North Korea. David Halberstam has been brewing for more than 40 years, and it took 10 years to complete the last command of his life-the coldest winter.
The Korean War was cruel to all the participants. Halberstam described and analyzed the war of "dying for a draw" after World War II, and drew a series of thought-provoking new conclusions about history and future from a unique angle.
