The History of the World
Welcome to my World History Encyclopedia. History is all around us! I have written this encyclopedia of history for adults and children. You can read the history of towns and cities in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Australia.
You can also read the history of nations in different parts of the world such as Europe, Asia, Africa and North and South America. You can also read about ancient civilisations around the world such as the Incas, the Aztecs, the Mayans, the Egyptians, the Greeks and the Romans. You can also read about Prehistoric people like the Cro-Magnons or about the prehistoric town of Catal Huyuk.
There are also sections about Roman history, the Middle Ages, 16th Century England, 17th Century England and 19th Century England.
And you can find out about life in the past from Ancient Times to the 20th Century. You can read about everyday life in Egyptian, Greek and Roman times. You can also find out about life in Saxon England, Viking life, or life in the Middle Ages and Tudor life, life in 17th century England, 18th century England, 19th century England and 20th century England. You can also read about the clothes, food, drink, houses, transport and weapons of the past. I have also written about the history of women and the history of children.
You can also find out about the origin of old sayings and where English surnames come from. There is a timeline of England as well as other countries. You can also find out which famous people come from your town or you can read brief biographies of famous people. I have also written about less well known aspects of history such as the history of toilets.
I have also looked into the dark side of history with articles about pirates, highwaymen, plague, the witch trials and the history of punishments. Finally I have written about English festivals. You can also read about the history of Christmas, Easter and Halloween.
Whether you read my World History Encyclopedia for education of entertainment I hope you enjoy it.
