Places in History is an ongoing venture by HistoryWorld to place in geographical context the events of greatest significance or fame in world history. As yet only two continents, Africa and America, are available
A click on any placemark in the Google map will bring a popup listing chronologically the main events that have taken place there. A further link, from any event, will lead to background information on that event. Usually the link will be to the appropriate paragraph in one of the narrative histories in HistoryWorld. If the event does not yet feature in HistoryWorld, the link will go to a related article, most often in Wikipedia.
Each map also has a link to a related timeline of the region.
