As informative as wikipedia is when it comes to subjects like world history, sometimes it is just to overwhelming. I find that wikipedia is chalk full of information, but there is no gradation of the information. Thus for those looking for summary, basic understanding, overviews and quick information wikipedia is sometimes daunting especially for younger students. Fortunately there are websites like History World that are excellent for all the things that wikipedia cannot accomplish when it comes to world history. The information in this website is displayed in a friendly and less 'texty' manner and gives you choices of history, comparative timelines and fun stuff like quizzes. The graphics are also informative and pleasing. If you are looking for early human civilization, the history of inventions, religion or art; a vast range is at your fingertip. A very useful resource on history to add to your bookmarks. It is now part of HinduSearchEngine.com for world religions and human civilization history.
