History section summary

“It feels like all the complicated knowledge has been sorted out!”_From a parent review
Open your eyes to understand the world and discover real knowledge beyond textbooks!
The third volume of the 'Wide and Shallow' series, which children read first and recommend to their parents!

Studying history has always been complicated and difficult, so it ends up being just memorization.
So, after the training course was over, it was common for them to drift apart.
However, to understand the times we live in now, studying history, especially modern and contemporary history, is essential.
'The Land is Wide and Shallow' magically weaves together the major threads of history into a single story, and was well-received by adults.
The "Cha Sa-jang's Wide and Shallow Land" series has been reborn as a thrilling story by taking advantage of its strengths.
Now, children who have been exposed to books before their parents through word of mouth are excitedly recommending books to their parents.
Let's read together and talk about it together.
This book will be a great study memory for parents and children.

Young readers who have understood the meaning of "means of production" and "characteristics of capitalism" through Alpha's turbulent story in Volumes 1 and 2 will also encounter core knowledge of modern and contemporary history, such as the Great Depression, communist revolution, World War II, the Cold War, and détente, in Volume 3, and will naturally absorb the grand flow of history.
This is a natural step toward transitioning to the economics section of Volume 4, and is essential knowledge for understanding this era.


Humanity has developed through trial and error, and the answers to solving real-world problems have always been hidden in history.
A world dominated by economics, a world still rife with violence and war.
To navigate the rough waters of life without getting lost, you need a proper guide.
The historical insights that children encounter while reading this book will serve as a compass for their lives.


An instant bestseller
Selected as a 2022 Boy's Korea Outstanding Children's Book
Established as a cultural book that satisfies both parents and children

"The Broad and Shallow Land of the President" received attention from parents and various media outlets and became a bestseller immediately after its publication.
At its core, it is based on the trustworthiness of a successful adult book series, as well as the inevitability that what children need most today is a humanistic mindset.
When dealing with a single historical or economic event, there was no book that helped me move beyond memorizing numbers, names, and information about it, to understanding the hidden meaning and developing a perspective on the world.
In that respect, the "Cha Sa-jang's Wide and Shallow Land" series serves as an excellent teacher and debater.
The intense intellectual experience this book leaves behind will be more thrilling and interesting than any other entertainment.
