Timelines

As an IR major, history is a big part of what my studies focus on. Today I came across a pretty cool site that has something to do with history, though it is more of a general overview than a source of specific information. Timelines is a really cool site that contains..guess. Yeah, timelines. I found this to be quite the interesting source of information. According to the page, it contains hundreds of history related timelines. Want to know about when certain things happened related to the Tuetonic Knights? They have that. What about the Irish-British conflict? Thats there too. Or maybe you wanted to know that Russia's first McDonalds opened in February of 1990? There is clearly a large variety of information right here at your fingertips. The one disappointing aspect of the site is that there is not a lot of information about specific events. If you wanted to learn specific information besides events related to the second crusade, you would have to do that research on your own. That said, the downside isn't that horrendus. In addition to the information presented I have already pointed out, the content is searchable. If you are looking to find out when a specific event happened, you can search for it, making the site more useful. If you are interested in history, or when certain things happened, this site is worth checking out.
