Publisher's Synopsis
A Short History Of The World by H.G. Wells is a comprehensive overview of the history of humanity, from the earliest civilizations to the beginning of the 20th century. Wells covers a wide range of topics, including the development of agriculture, the rise of empires, the spread of religion, and the growth of science and technology. He also explores the impact of major historical events such as the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Industrial Revolution. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to readers of all ages and backgrounds. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the historical forces that have shaped our world.Great conquerors appear in the dim light of that distant time and pass, Tushratta, King of Mitanni, who captured Nineveh, Tiglath Pileser I of Assyria who conquered Babylon. At last the Assyrians became the greatest military power of the time. Tiglath Pileser III conquered Babylon in 745 B.C. and founded what historians call the New Assyrian Empire. Iron had also come now into civilization out of the north; the Hittites, the precursors of the Armenians, had it first and communicated its use to the Assyrians, and an Assyrian usurper, Sargon II, armed his troops with it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
