About the book: year / Dear readers! I would like to draw your attention to the fact that this is just a text version of the textbook, which is naturally not suitable for full use for educational purposes! For obvious reasons, it is impossible to create an illustrated version in fb2 format. Please download full PDF (illustrated) or multimedia (according and video) versions from LIBRUSEC or other repositories. This textbook is a module of the single cycle "World History for Schoolchildren". It serves as an organic continuation of the textbook “Primitiveness” of the first year of studying history, but is also designed for independent use by school and gymnasium students seeking to deepen their knowledge. Attention! Due to the increasing number of misunderstandings, the author is forced to emphasize that the textbook is used in the third year of history education. The textbook can also be used for self-education. The author urges teachers not to use the textbook in a “truncated” form, not to try to “improve” it, or to use it for teaching younger or older students. Carefully tuned specifically for the third year of studying history at school, the methodological apparatus of the textbook completely excludes this kind of “innovation” and will not only not give the planned increase in the level of knowledge, but will also lead to its decline. The author asks teachers to consult him personally on all questions and is ready to provide any assistance1. The author gives his permission to publishers and individuals to freely reproduce and distribute this textbook in both printed and electronic form, both on a commercial and non-commercial basis during the current academic year. Written notice to the copyright owner is required. No violation of the integrity and immutability of the textbook is permitted without the knowledge and direct consent of the copyright owner.
