World history, difficult and vast? Learn it with keywords!
What comes to mind when you think of "world history"? Difficult? Boring? A lot to memorize? Especially when you think of the seemingly tedious origins of civilization and the distant, Western-centric world history, it's hard to imagine it being interesting.
Is there any subject in the humanities that's as daunting to begin as history? Teenagers, especially those already busy with their schoolwork, are likely to find themselves thinking this way.
I know it's good to develop my thinking skills and build up background knowledge to prepare for the CSAT or essay writing, but I'm daunted by the thought, "How can I possibly cover all that?"


From world history to oriental history and third world history, all in one volume
《World History Lessons Starting from Page 1》 was created for such young people.
We've carefully selected only 200 keywords that you need to know in world history, from the origins of civilization to modern history.
In addition, we have faithfully organized the book to provide a balanced view of history, moving away from the structure of existing world history books that focus on Western history, and encompassing Eastern history and the Third World.
When you have a little spare time to read during your studies, or when you have a question about world history while studying, just take one minute and read one page.


It is composed of seven topics: Oriental history, people, Western history, history of civilization, big history, and urban and technological history, so you can feel the core contents of world history being clearly organized in your head.
Additionally, each keyword is provided with a one-line summary, so you can quickly grasp the content by reading just this sentence, along with a wealth of helpful information.

Time to understand world history, the foundation of all history.
In our country, world history education is at a very weak level compared to Korean history.
So, you may be wondering why you should study world history, which is not directly related to college entrance exams.
But Korean history is also a part of world history.
Moreover, the development of all history and scholarship is in line with the flow of world history.
This means that only when you understand world history can you truly study the humanities.

Of course, "World History Class Starting from Page 1" is also useful for preparing for entrance exams that test creativity, including essay writing.
The days of going to a good university just by memorizing well and doing well on tests are over.
Perhaps the most essential virtue for young people living in the 21st century is the ability to think for themselves. After all, what machines and science cannot match is human creativity.


So how can we cultivate this creativity? By carefully examining and fully understanding existing, important information, you'll encounter questions that arise, and as you work to resolve them, a creative attitude will naturally develop.
A helpful guide to help you through this process is “World History Lessons Starting from Page 1.”

Well then, shall we embark on a journey into the fun and interesting world of world history?
