HOW DID WE GET HERE?

HOW DID WE GET HERE?

A Journey Through Power, Politics, History, and the World We Inherited

Why does the world work the way it does? Who made the rules? And who benefits from them?

Every country has a history. Every political system has an origin. Every border has a story. And behind almost every major event shaping our world today is a series of decisions, conflicts, negotiations and struggles for power.

But how much do we really understand about the world we have inherited?

In How Did We Get Here?, Benedict .O (Bennykings) takes readers on an engaging journey through the history and mechanics of the modern world.

From the creation of national borders and the legacy of colonialism to democracy, dictatorship, global superpowers and international economic relationships, this book explores how the world came to be what it is today.

Written in an accessible, conversational style, this is not another complicated political science textbook. It is an invitation to question what we have always accepted, connect historical events to present-day realities, and understand the forces shaping our future.
