The content of this book is a grand tour through world history starting some 10,000 years ago. The aim of this grand tour is to understand the present world we are living in. The aim is not to record events that have taken place in history although a broad description of some of the most important events are included. Explained will be throughout this book that world history has created a modern world culture-empire that started some half a century ago. The world culture- empire is joined by every human being and every state in the present world. Explained will be that this development inevitably leads to a saturation point of world history. This saturation point is now. The key content of the world culture-empire is the ever-growing value of individualism of human beings. In the world-culture empire, there are serious disagreements about the levels of individualism that are tolerable. This has culminated into a great divide within this world culture-empire, a divide that inevitably leads to this point of saturation. Along the way in going through world history in this book, 7 fundamental principles of world history are identified. The 7 principles provide a basic understanding of the fundamentals of world history. This book is an observation of world history. The author does not take any form of stand or opinion about the development of world history and its culmination in present times. The development of world history is a natural and inevitable development that can be understood without taking stands or having opinions at any level of humanity, individual level, group level, state level, or global level. This book was also published under the title 'Fundamentals of World History'.
