Why does the world look the way it does today? Why did some countries become superpowers while others didn't? Why does Europe have so many nations? Why does international law exist? Why is the modern world organised the way it is? Behind many of history's biggest turning points lies something surprisingly simple: a piece of paper. A treaty. A contract. An agreement that changed the course of millions of lives. But why did these agreements succeed, fail, or have consequences that nobody could have predicted?
Join Nico, a French artist, entrepreneur and history buff, for the latest session in his fascinating series exploring the defining moments that shaped the modern world. Together, we'll examine seven of history's most influential treaties and contracts; from the founding of the Roman Empire to the creation of the European Union, and discover how each one transformed politics, borders, culture and everyday life. Along the way, we'll compare these pivotal moments with China's own historical milestones, asking how different civilisations have shaped their futures through negotiation, compromise and power. Whether you love history or simply want to better understand today's world, you'll leave seeing the past, and the present, from a completely new perspective.
为什么今天的世界会变成现在这样?为什么有的国家成为超级大国,有的却没有?为什么欧洲有这么多国家?国际法又是怎么形成的?现代世界的结构,其实背后藏着一些看起来很简单的东西:一张纸,一份条约,一项协议。但问题是,这些协议为什么有的能成功,有的会失败?为什么有的影响深远到改变历史走向,而有的却埋下了完全意想不到的后果?
加入法国创业者、历史爱好者 Nico 的系列分享,一起回看七份改变世界走向的关键契约。从罗马帝国的建立,到欧盟的形成,这些协议如何一步步改变政治格局、国家边界、文化结构以及普通人的日常生活。同时,我们也会对比中国历史中的一些关键节点,看看不同文明是如何通过谈判、妥协与权力博弈来塑造自己的未来。无论你是历史爱好者,还是只是想更清楚理解今天世界的运行逻辑,这一场都会让你对“过去”和“现在”的理解换个角度看。
