Like the United States History Atlas by the same publishers, this book is an invaluable tool for us while studying history together. Being able to pull this out and flip to a map relevant to our reading can make all the difference in our understanding the events we’re reading about. It’s painless geography, really!
Here are some questions this title will help you answer:
1. If agriculture started in the fertile crescent, where did it go from there?
2. Where were the Minoans in proximity to the Mycenaeans in Ancient Greece?
3. Hearing about the different Germanic tribes who invaded Ancient Rome is interesting, but I can’t keep them straight. Who went where?
4. What part of India did the British control in the early 1800’s?
5. Where were some of the major battles during WWI?
6. How did Europe get divided after WWII?
7. Where was the Tet Offensive during the Vietnam War?
These and so many more questions can be answered by this handy, colorful reference book.
