Summary: "The Greatest Story in the World, Period III: The Development of the Modern World" by Horace G. Hutchinson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume serves as the culmination of a three-part series focusing on significant historical events and figures from the past five centuries, particularly emphasizing the role of the Anglo-Saxon race in shaping the modern age. It addresses topics ranging from colonial expansion and conflicts to cultural and technological advancements that influenced the course of history. At the start of the book, Hutchinson outlines the profound transformations that occurred at the end of the 15th century, focusing on the adventures of explorers like Christopher Columbus and Vasco da Gama, who paved the way for global exploration and trade. The opening portion discusses Columbus's so-called discovery of America, which, while monumental, is placed in context by recognizing the prior and arguably greater navigational achievements of da Gama. The author sets the stage for a thorough discussion of the interconnected stories of the Old and New Worlds, the colonization efforts of European powers, and the ensuing cultural exchanges and conflicts that defined this transformative period of history.
