From AGS-SPS and Onwards to the LHC

Abstract

I review the history of the efforts using heavy ion collisions to make new forms of matter. I discuss both the development of the theoretical ideas about such new forms of matter, as well the past, present and planned experimental efforts. I also highlight the development of this activity in both India and China.
