In chronological order, the process of civilization.

If it is too much, you can choose some, and I will write down everything I know.

First of all, Greece

1 Before 3500 BC, Sumerians in Mesopotamia established the earliest civilization. After that, it experienced civilizations such as Sumerian city-state, Akkadian kingdom and the third Ur dynasty. The earliest civilization in Europe originated from the Aegean civilization and entered the civilization period around 2500 BC. It was born under the Egyptian civilization in North Africa and the two rivers civilization in the East. Crete prospered in trade with Mesopotamia and Egypt, and its culture was deeply influenced by it.

In the mycenaean era of ancient Greece, the Greek allied forces invaded Troy. Although this was Greece's victory over Asia Minor, Mycenae also inherited the Trojan wind in culture.

The Phoenicians on the east coast of the Mediterranean invented letters and introduced them to Greece. The Greeks reformed it to form the Greek alphabet, and later the Romans reformed it to form the Latin alphabet, which became the ancestor of the Western European alphabet. The Cyrillic alphabet in Russia also originated in Greece.

The ironware from Asia in Homer's time promoted the disintegration of primitive society and the formation of slavery city-states.

In ancient times, the Greeks colonized the Mediterranean coast in large numbers, and at the same time brought advanced technology and ideas from the East.

In classical times, Persia invaded Greece, that is, the famous Greek-Persian war in history, and the Greeks won, which laid the foundation for the separation of East and West.

Greek celebrities like Soren and Herodotus traveled in the two river basins and Asia and learned a lot about the East.

In the Hellenistic era, Alexander's eastward invasion not only spread the Greek cultural system, but also brought oriental civilization, such as Persian court etiquette.

Second, Rome.

During the period of1* * *, the early Romans were deeply influenced by the Idarians. According to research, many Idaho customs originated from the East, so Rome was influenced by Asia. The Romans constantly expanded their territory, fought with Carthage, and also clashed with Asian countries, such as Parthia, Bentu and Arabia, and unconsciously changed under the influence of their politics, economy and culture.

During the imperial era, Rome sent envoys to China in 166 to contact China.

Christianity was formed by absorbing some teachings of Judaism. Jews originally came from the land of Canaan, and they served God, who was omnipotent and had a far-reaching influence on Christianity. The crucifixion of Christ on the Crusaders was also influenced by some myths in the East.

In addition, the Silk Road is the main road connecting the eastern countries.

At the end of the empire, Huns from Asia came to Europe, which caused the migration of nomadic tribes and eventually led to the demise of the Roman Empire. Attila, king of Xiongnu, once surrounded Rome.

The reason is that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty invaded the Xiongnu in the north and made the Xiongnu gradually move westward.

Third, the Middle Ages.

1 Arabs expanded in the 7th and 8th centuries, and their territory reached the north of the Pyrenees. In 732, Puati in Frank was banned by Charles Martel, the court minister. From then on, this is the boundary. To the north of the mountain is Christian civilization, and to the south of the mountain is Islamic civilization. There are several huge academic centers in Iberian Peninsula, where Europeans come to learn Arabic and try to understand Islamic culture.

Arabs preserved a great deal of ancient Greek culture and avoided the disappearance of European classical culture during the decline of Roman Empire due to barbarian invasion. Arabs have played a role in connecting the past and future of European civilization, but they are also creators of culture.

The Byzantine Empire retained a large number of cultural heritages of ancient Greece, and a large number of Western Europeans came here to study Greek and Greek culture.

In the middle of the Middle Ages, the Venetians and Milanese in Italy traded frequently with the orientals, and together they introduced Asian products and cultures into Western Europe.

Kyle Poirot traveled to China, and his trip to China increased Western Europe's curiosity and desire for the East.

Fourth, modern times

1, the establishment of Ottoman Turkey hindered the communication between East and West. Western Europeans could not reach China and India by land, so they opened up new sea routes, which led to great geographical discoveries. America was discovered.

Ottoman Turkey itself attracted the interest of western Europeans.

China's philosophy spread to Europe and aroused the interest of Europeans. Leibniz and Voltaire praised the civilization of China.

The influx of Indian Brahma and Buddhism into Europe has also aroused the interest of Europeans.

The invasion of Britain, France and Holland in Asia promoted the primitive accumulation of capital, and Russia expanded its territory in Siberia in northern Asia and extended to the Pacific coast.

To sum up, 1 Mesopotamia civilization promoted the formation of Aegean civilization.
