'''World history''' or '''global history''' as a field of [[historiography|historical study]] examines [[history]] from a global perspective. It emerged centuries ago; leading practitioners have included [[Voltaire]] (1694–1778), [[Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel|Hegel]] (1770–1831), [[Karl Marx]] (1818–1883), [[Oswald Spengler]] (1880–1936), and [[Arnold J. Toynbee]] (1889–1975). The field became much more active (in terms of university teaching, text books, scholarly journals, and academic associations) in the late 20th century.
