you just abandoned your fort and tired of the same world with the same old gobbos, so I suggest the Continue history button, after you press the start playing button ,in the lower part of the map screen a new option would be there would be like this:
[C] CONTINUE HISTORY press it, then this would appear
[A] 250 years  [B ] 500 years [C] 1000 years [D] Custom
After selecting the amount of years a warning would pop up saying about the risks of civilizations disappearing and being conquered
Y/N?
Then the history of the world would continue and if a big event happens like an civ being conquered it would pause zoom and show the description.
I don’t know what changes on the game codes would be necessary  to make it happen, it’s just an suggestion

Toady Has talked about this before. I can't find the exact quote right off hand, it was in one of the DFtalks. But basically once a world was converted for dwarf fortress mode (at the end of world gen) it would be very difficult to convert it back to history mode.

If Toady could figure out some way to only un-stasis what needs to be un-stasised and convert an un-stasised site (e.g. an abandoned fort) into a stasised one, it would be possible, but I have no doubt that that would require far more effort than it sounds like.

The history mode would never have left! Just implanting fortress events into history and letting it run where it left off does not seem so daunting as converting Fortress mode into the History mode...

i didn't knew that the world had 2 or more modes, for me it was just "the world",can you please explain i'm curious

Heard of the butterfly effect?

LOL

You may think it is funny, but having one fort that lasted a year may change the whole course of history! 

Your fort had 7 dwarves.

Those 2 miners weren't at the capitol.

Now those 2 miners couldn't mine out 50 rocks for the wall at the capitol.

Because of this, the masons had to travel over 20 more spaces in order to get the stone to set up the wall fortifiction.

This caused a 10 minute delay, allowing an assassin in who murdered a guard, before getting imprisoned, all because a fortification wasn't there.

Because the guard wasn't there, a person had to replace him.  This person would have made a cheap artifact instead, but due to the military it was delayed.

Because the artifact wasn't there, the foreign buyer didn't waste his money on it, meaning he has 2400 dwarf bucks.

Then a war comes along and because one side had 2400 more dwarf bucks, that means 500 more were in the banks because of the tax on it.

With that five hundred they bought a catapult, hitting the wall down, allowing them to storm the city.

Of course, if ANY of those things had happened differently, it would have turned out to a completely different story, they could have drafted someone else. You could have picked a different civilization.  The assassin may have been stopped by a goblin.  But no, because of what you did, you just changed history!

Except that the miners would be spawned ex nillo or however the HFS you spell it.

i believe this is already on the devlist.

hrm, not explicitly stated as such, possible candidates are vaguely worded.

i would be considerably amazed if toady did not plan on eventually allowing constant events, given his goal of a "living, breathing world"

the very thing i was looking at, though a few notes down has me wondering if this is just for animal migrations and economics, rather than actual worldgen style events.

I would want this allong with my leave the for running option

i've seen recruits entering moods while in traning,and they're where active on the military screen.

From the devlog:

•Release 5
•Changing populations, food use and other world gen stuff moved to actual play

there isn't much info related to the original question,i've read that log a thousand times and i've never saw something that looks like my suggestion
