World History Links
'history' in academic study is either the study of the past or the product of
our attempts to understand the past, rather than the past itself.
History World- See the most significant events in the history of America and Africa, located in
Google Earth and Google Maps
- HistoryWorld is a general-knowledge website, designed for anyone above the age
of about twelve with an interest in history. It approaches history in a way that
is traditional but until recently unfashionable - as a narrative, making full
use of chronology. 'What happened next?' is for all of us a fascinating
question, and one of direct relevance in this context. At the heart of history
there is inevitably a sequence of events.
World History Association- The WHA is the foremost organization for the promotion of world history through
the encouragement of teaching, research, and publication. It was founded in 1982
by a group of teachers and academics determined to address the needs and
interests of what was then a newly emerging historical sub-discipline and
teaching field. The new world history emerged out of the shift in higher
and secondary education away from a sole emphasis on national and regional
histories toward broader cross-cultural, comparative, and global approaches.
History Channel- Site built on the past of both the world and the U.S.
- Has sponsered videos, tutorials, and articles on specific events in history.
- Place also to find books and materials on serveral subjects.
