"View of history of science and technology?" Supporter Phil and the audience were all stunned, as if they had never heard of this new term... right?

Li Yuan explained: "You should all know that in the past, there was a heroic view of history, that is, heroes create history! It is best to have great men descended from heaven! For example, heroes and great men in the history of various countries and ethnic groups, etc. But in modern historical research

, the heroic view of history has basically been eliminated. Is it the era created by heroes, or the heroes created by the era?"

"Yeah, I know that."

"In the study of modern history, many schools have also emerged. I will not introduce the similarities and differences of each school in detail here. But it is basically recognized that the following theories are. For example: modern world history! The West first appeared

The Renaissance began the Enlightenment Movement, and then through the Industrial Revolution, modern factories appeared; and through the Great Voyage, the New World was discovered. Later, through colonization of the world, Western countries accumulated a large amount of primitive capital, which promoted the Industrial Revolution. And through various countries'

The bourgeois revolution, including the independence movement in the North American colonies, gave birth to the advanced social system of the West and began the process of global hegemony. Then came the ebb and flow of great powers rising one after another. Through World War I, World War II and the Cold War, the final

The winner is you, the United States. Isn’t that right?”

"Yes!" Phil nodded in confusion, "Is there any problem here?"

"Then let me summarize - if any country wants to become a big country, it must first be open-minded, that is, Renaissance or similar cultural movements. The second is to accumulate raw capital. It seems that the only way is colonization or invasion. Chapter 1

Third, the industrial revolution. This point needs no further introduction. The last step is to establish a modern social system."

"Is that so?" Phil felt even more strange. Isn't this common sense?

"In other words, you must follow this order. Modern technology appears naturally in this process."

"Uh-huh."

"But here comes the problem - according to the current international order, international law and the common moral values ​​of all mankind, it is absolutely impossible to invade or colonize, otherwise it will become the public enemy of all mankind. Isn't that right?"

"Yes! That must be it!"

"Then without invasion or colonization, it would be impossible to accumulate enough original capital, and it would be impossible to proceed to the next step in sequence. In other words, it would be impossible to enter modern industry and modern technology? As for developed countries in Europe and the United States, because they have already gone through capital before

In the accumulation stage, there is no such problem now. Countries like India, Brazil, South Africa and China, that is, third world countries with huge size, are actually severely restricted by this step and have basically become

Developed countries that cannot modernize? Is that so?”

"Haha. It sounds like...your logic should be fine." Phil laughed dryly. (The whole audience laughed)

In fact, in developed countries in Europe and the United States, many people, whether they are elites or ordinary people, hold the same view. That is why we cannot say this publicly, right?

There is a saying that the Yalta system after World War II, also known as the United Nations system, has indeed brought great progress to all mankind. But on the other hand, it has also set up various thresholds, making those late-developing countries face a hell of a difficulty.

Those oil-producing countries in the Middle East have nothing to do with it. Even if their GDP reaches the standards of developed countries, they are nothing more than a group of local tyrants. But if they want to fully enter the standards of a modern industrial power? They will immediately face the suppression of the entire system...
