World history, for the purposes of H-WORLD, is defined broadly to include history beyond the national level. Thus defined, it includes comparative, interactive, transregional and planetary studies of history. It includes but is not limited to history of ancient and modern "civilizations." It includes "big history," which reaches back before human evolution, and also includes contemporary global history. World history can even be intensely local, when it focuses on global forces influencing the life of a given community, or when an individual or community is taken as a metaphor for larger issues. In any of its definitions, world history emphasizes connections among historical phenomena.
