In China, since the 1950s, mainly due to the beginning of professional division of history, the Chinese and world history, people used to lift the world history, almost as foreign historical appellation. Indeed, the world is the history of Chinese historical excluded, and history of China, the history of foreign countries and all other history.About the history of the world, still not completely consistent opinion.
