摘要
Dividing history by stages is different from the evolution of social formulation.Modern world history was not the history of capitalist society.Dividing history by stages should be based mainly on the development of social economy besides politics,ideology and culture.Modern world history was the history that mankind entered industrial society and that industrial society developed with mankind.Thus modern world history should have begun in 1760s and ended in 1940s.
