Explain the end of History concept
What is Many analysts expected major shifts in human affairs when the Cold War terminated. Some thought about an “end of history” concept; democracy would sweep the world and the need to query basic political institutions was over. It would be a more peaceful era since democracies did not fight each other. A related argument emphasized that consumer capitalism would spread a prosperity that no one wanted to jeopardize. Such predictions cannot be proved.
