Did World History arise suddenly in the late-20th-century U.S., either because of individuals such as William McNeill or movements such as the World History Association? Or did world history arise more gradually throughout the 20th century through rethinking of universal and Eurocentric histories?
Katja Naumann takes the latter approach, emphasizing the gradual establishment of world-historical criteria from 1920 to 1970, for instance through “general education.”
