Title: World History Post by: LordVaderRulez on September 19, 2009, 01:47:12 am If you need help of would like to know more about world history, let me know and I can help you.
Subjects I can lecture on (I can do a lot more, these are just the ones I enjoy): Rise and spread of Islam Vietnam War (About the war and about the effects back home). Any US election Persian Gulf War Hebrew Civilization The Troubles (coming soon) Title: Re: World History Post by: Maplen13 on September 19, 2009, 01:58:37 am Hmmm... I've had some bit of history learning,
especially it made me like the Arabs more, since they made the best of Science, and how Mesopotamia was one of the cradle civilizations that supposedly held moses. Plus about the Spaniards invaded South America for spices naming it, as "Latin America" Or how Japan actually got it's motivation of making newer technologies from William Adams an Englishman. Or how the silk road revolutionized the roman empire with the east. Even about the czar of Russia in the forgot the name, but who revolutionized Russia as a force to be reckoned with on Shipping, and how he made St. Petersburg plus defeating the Sweden Empire. Or how Russia influenced with the U.S the splitting of Korea into North/South Korea. Or the Russian Invasion of Afghanistan. Or even the Islamic Empire stretching from the east to the west, even in the Philippines, where Christianity meets Islam, very big clashes. Or how china's first emperor when died, had an army of clay soldiers to be buried with him. Or how the great Roman Empire rose to power then split into two which then in the long run, collapsed after countless invasions, people leaving, corruption, and etc. Even about the Mongolian Warriors on the Effect in Korea, Japan, China, the Roman Empire, and the Islamic Empire. But all in all, I don't really know World History, only Contemporary history. :( Title: Re: World History Post by: LordVaderRulez on September 19, 2009, 02:04:37 am Well if you have any questions or something you would like to know feel free to ask.

Title: Re: World History Post by: Maplen13 on September 19, 2009, 09:44:16 am ah... thats is really interesting to learn about... but I more confined into larger civilization's history that actually made revalance.

Title: Re: World History Post by: Maplen13 on September 19, 2009, 09:57:15 am Most of them I know.... can you tell me more on how Latin America formed? Other than the Spaniards Invaded it.

Title: Re: World History Post by: Maplen13 on September 19, 2009, 10:02:46 am Thanks, I'm just doing Asian History here, in the Basic Curriculum. WHY MUST I BE TORTURED BY BASIC KNOWLEDGE!!
Title: Re: World History Post by: LordVaderRulez on September 19, 2009, 10:23:59 am Man has lived in Latin America as far back as 7000 B.C. living there lives as sendetary trades. How they origanlly got there if I remember a little while back to my 5th grade studies was due to an Ice Age which allowed early humans to travel down to the "New Lands" as the European colonists would call it. Through lots of research I have found little information regarding the state of Latin America before the great civilizations of such as the Mayans or Incas. None the less these civilizations accomplished great amounts of things and would be as knowledgeable as larger Empires such as Rome.
Sadly during the Age of Exploration European explorers would destroy and mass murder various Latin American peoples and their civilizations evantully leading to the Spain and Portugal conquest and invasion of Latin America. Information on various Latin America civilizations: Incas Formed: By Quechua native Americans in the 15th century Amount of civilians at it's height: 5 - 11 million Achievements: Impressive highway system Invention of various musical insturments Large and well ran goverment I;ll add some more later I got to go Title: Re: World History Post by: Trijhak on September 19, 2009, 06:58:50 pm I can discuss british history. Like, when the Romans Invaded, when the Saxons invaded, when the Viikings Raided, our medieval ages (though mainly the Plague/Black Death), and Henry VII-Bloody Mary so far. (that last one was very major at the time, the continous religious switching, the burning and one of the most well-known of enlgish monarchs, Henry VIII, then Edward VI, then Mary I (AKA Bloody mary))
So pretty much up to 1500 years ago to 500 years ago of britsh history.. britsh history in the 1000s is also very gory until around the 170s somewhere. History is my new best subject at school BTW. Title: Re: World History Post by: LordVaderRulez on September 19, 2009, 07:31:21 pm I can also discuss one of my favorites, Native American history. I would be more then glad to do so as little Native American history is taught today.
Title: Re: World History Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on September 22, 2009, 08:36:55 pm I can kick in my two cents worth about the past half a century with some accuracy, since I lived through it!
