Description
Book Introduction
What an interesting world history!
A war story outside the frame, told by tvN's "Naked World History."

Nothing in this world just happens.
Everything is connected, whether we see it or not.
We call the accumulation of these events 'history.'
And events in history repeat themselves in similar ways.
Therefore, if we study world history more deeply, we can develop the ability to anticipate and prepare for what may happen in the future.

This book is a compilation of war-related events covered in the storytelling world history program “Naked World History” aired on tvN.
It reveals the history of war beyond the frame we have never seen before, including moments that made a significant mark on world history as well as surprising facts that we have never encountered before.
From the 116-year-long Hundred Years' War between France and England to the ongoing Ukrainian War, the history of wars that shook the world unfolds in three dimensions.
In particular, due to time constraints, we have organized in detail even the content that could not be shown on the broadcast, so you can see everything from the real cause of the war to the hidden side of the war that we did not know about.
If you've found history difficult, or world history boring, you might want to read "Naked World History: War" as if you were listening to a story that you can understand without having to memorize it.
The moment you open the book, it will guide you beyond knowledge to experience.

Publisher's Review
A war that never ends, a war that must end
A thrilling historical exploration unraveling the story behind the war.


Nothing in this world just happens.
Everything is connected, whether we see it or not.
We call the accumulation of these events 'history.'
However, the history we learn in class is centered around major events that are visible to the eye.
As a result, history came to be seen as something to be memorized and boring.
If we add to this the interesting stories that have been unseen to us but have caused the world to shake, history becomes an interesting and exciting event.
Rudyard Kipling, author of The Jungle Book, said, “History taught in the form of stories is never forgotten.”

『Naked World History: War Edition』 is a collection of war-related events covered in [Naked World History], which aired on tvN, with that intention.
It reveals the history of war beyond the frame we have never seen before, including moments that made a significant mark on world history as well as surprising facts that we have never encountered before.

From the 116-year-long Hundred Years' War between France and England to the ongoing Ukrainian War, the history of wars that shook the world unfolds in three dimensions.
In particular, due to time constraints, we have organized in detail even the content that could not be shown on the broadcast, so you can see everything from the real cause of the war to the hidden side of the war that we did not know about.
Furthermore, the history of war, which has been written from the perspective of the victors, is interpreted in various ways from the perspectives of the losers and victims.
If we look at the history of mankind, it can be said to be a 'history of war', with constant strife, disputes, conflicts, and wars.
Why does the world constantly engage in war? By reading "The Naked World History: War," you'll understand why wars occur and why they must end.


From the war that lasted over 100 years
Up to the ongoing Ukrainian war,
An engaging and informative non-contact world history study


In 15th-century France, there was a rumor that a shepherdess from the countryside who could neither read nor write suddenly went to the battlefield one day, saved her country from crisis, and became a hero.
That girl is Joan of Arc.
How could a shepherdess who had never even held a sword become a heroine in a bloody war? The surprising truth is that Joan of Arc, once hailed as a saint, was later branded a witch and burned at the stake in front of a large crowd.
What war did Joan of Arc fight in, and why did she have to meet such a death?

In 1839, Britain and the Qing Dynasty went to war over the drug opium.
The Qing people were so addicted to opium that they even sold their wives and children to get money to buy opium.
But did you know that the Opium Wars that engulfed the Qing Dynasty began over a mere cup of tea?

The Middle East has been the place with the most incidents and accidents throughout modern and contemporary history.

There is a country that has been the origin of many wars and conflicts in the Middle East, and has shed the most blood.
Israel and Palestine.
The reason the two countries fought a brutal war in the 21st century, over a century later, was because of a ridiculous international real estate scam perpetrated by Britain.
What on earth is going on?
