How would you summarize in four or five paragraphs Hegel's lectures on the philosophy of history (http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hegel/hisindex.htm), intending your summary to modern readers not necessarily familiar with 19th century German philosophy?

"Nothing significant in human history has ever been accomplished without passion." (Hegel)
