History Maps [Shared]

Once upon a time, I loved reading picture books at the local library. Today, I'm still fascinated about stories that happened "a long, long time ago" from "lands far, far away". When I decided to study History again, I wanted to create something to help me. This was how HistoryMaps started.

History is Fun
Learning History involves remembering dates, places, people, and events (who, what, where and when). Remembering things for the sake of remembering is boring! I thought there has to be a better way to learn, remember what I've learned...and make it fun!
