Changes

In old times people in different parts of the world kept separate histories because they did not meet each other very often. Some groups of people never met each other. The rulers of [[Medieval]] [[Europe]], [[Ancient Rome]] and [[Ancient China]] each thought that they ruled the only important parts of the [[world]] and that other parts were "[[barbarian]]". But they were still connected, even if they didn't realize it.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Silk Ties: The Links Between Ancient Rome & China {{!}} History Today|url=https://www.historytoday.com/archive/silk-ties-links-between-ancient-rome-china|access-date=2020-10-24|website=www.historytoday.com}}</ref>

The term "''historically"'' is used to say that something has been a certain way during most of its history. For example, a historically female [[university]] is a university which has had a student body that was mostly or entirely female for most of its history. The term is often used for historically female and historically black ([[African Americans|African American]]) schools.
