Western Civilization has been shaped by the many people and events that have witnessed its transformation from the dawn of the early modern period in 1500 up to the present day. The present word view has been formed by many events including the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, and the Cold War. The Cold War had the most profound effect upon the world today and in years past, most specifically in regards to globalization. The world is a much smaller place, figuratively speaking, to live than years ago. As a result, nearly every country is interdependent upon the others. Trade, communications, transportation, and foreign relations have all had an influence globally, and in return have been influenced by the numerous events shaping civilization today.
