Summary "The Great Events by Famous Historians, Volume 02" by Rossiter Johnson, Charles F. Horne, and John Rudd is a historical account compiled in the early 20th century that presents an extensive yet accessible overview of key events in world history. The collection emphasizes significant milestones, showcasing the expertise of renowned historians and organized in a chronological format for clarity. This volume appears to cover pivotal moments such as the Athenian empire's rise, the conquests of Alexander the Great, and the intricate dynamics of ancient Rome, reflecting the powerful interplay of cultural and political forces throughout the ages. The opening of this volume begins with an outline narrative by Charles F. Horne that sets the stage for deeper explorations into ancient civilizations, particularly focusing on Greece, Persia, and Rome. Horne discusses the cyclical nature of these powers, their cultural development, moral decline, and the shifting dynamics that characterized their historical trajectories. He underscores the contributions and failures of each civilization, highlighting critical turning points like the Persian Wars and the rise of democratic ideals in Athens under Pericles. As the narrative unfolds, it introduces historical figures such as Alexander and significant events such as the Punic Wars, meticulous in tracing the causes and consequences of these moments that shaped the course of history.
