Interactive World History with Maps and Timelines

There are so many more ways to study world history than looking at textbooks and class displays.  This site  addresses other tools historians use to investigate world history, such as the frameworks of geography and chronological timelines. A geographical area can be used to explore commonalities across political borders
to discover the effect of trade, disease, and migration.
