Examples of macro-historical analysis include Oswald Spengler's assertion that the lifespan of civilizations is limited and ultimately they decay,^[2] and Arnold J. Toynbee's historical synthesis in explaining the rise and fall of civilizations. The Battle of Ain Jalut is considered by many historians to be of great macro-historical importance,{{Citation needed|date=November 2018}} as it marked the high water point of Mongol conquests, and the first time they had ever been decisively defeated.{{Citation needed|date=November 2018}}

According to economists Robert Solow,^[3] Brian Snowdon,^[4] Jason Collins^[5] and to an article in the "Break Through & Mind Changing Idea" section of Wired (Japan),^[6][7] Oded Galor's unified growth theory is a macro-historical analysis that has significantly contributed to the understanding of process of development over the entire course of human history and the role of deep-rooted factors in the transition from stagnation to growth and in the emergence of the vast inequality across the globe.^[8] According to Wired (Japan) Galor's theory is a global theory comparable to Newton's "law of gravitation", Darwin's "evolution theory" or Einstein's "general relativity".^[6]

Macrohistory is distinguished from microhistory, which involves the rigorous and in-depth study of a single event in history.^[9] However, these approaches can be combined such as the case of studying the larger trends of post-slave societies, which include the examination of individual cases and smaller groups.^[10]
