The World History Timeline, is a free website for people who are looking to study the history of different regions of the world from 3500 BC up until 2005 AD.

This website, covers almost 1500 interactive map experiences in different locations of the world. It also helps easily identify the different dynasties and rulers, the civil wars and world wars, and also helps us identify the current happenings of today’s world.

Once clicked on a particular region, the map shows a timeline of that continent and what were the major events that took place in the history of that continent or subregion.

This can be very helpful for students who can understand the history of a region or empire more clearly and visually than portrayed in books. For example, if someone wants to study the empire of rome, he can click on Europe, and go back to the Roman Civilization.

Once a particular region has been selected during the timeline that the person wants to examine during the Roman Empire. This empire can then be thoroughly examined from topics ranging from the economy and society, to government, warfare and law, to the religion that dominated that region or the culture that prevailed. It also points out the technology and science that was created and can be accredited to that particular timeline. These information are written or cited from scholarly articles and journals, which verifies the legitimacy of the content presented to the viewers.

This makes it a good tool for history majors, as well as for people who are interested in learning the maps or geography of the region being examined. This tool, which is easily accessible and fun to play around with can be very helpful for people who just want to brush up on their history, or are really looking to find something they have been searching for all along.
