The chronological divisions are the ancient world: civilizations and religions (4000 BCE-AD 500); expanding zones ofexchangeandencounter(500-1200);globalinteractions(1200-1650);thefirstglobal age (1450-1770); an age of revolutions (1750-1914); a half century of crisis and achievement (1900-1945); and the 20th century since 1945.
