HistoryExplained.com Examines the background history that is needed to understand the major economic and political problems in the world today.
From the site:
This web site contains a short explanation of the background history that is needed to understand the major economic and political problems in the world today. Those who are following the news accounts of the troubles in the Middle East, the Balkan States, Africa, Argentina and elsewhere have probably noticed that it is very difficult to understand the roots of the problems. Daily news accounts contain a lot of useful information, but they do not contain an explanation of the historical context, which is necessary to really understand what is happening. This 48 page explanation of history fills that gap. Once you have read it, you will understand for the first time what is actually happening in the world. It amounts to a new theory of history that is capable of explaining why countries behave the way that they do.
In this modern day information age, it is time to set aside historical views that are based on national myths and prejudice. This overview of history applies the same rules and standards to all countries in a fair and impartial manner.
History occurs in a single massive complex of intertwined events, but it cannot be understood when everything is jumbled together. That is why this explanation of history is written in a question and answer format. Events have been separated into different threads in order to promote understanding. This format helps to keep the analysis on track and explain one issue at a time. These threads will have to be recombined inside your mind in order to provide a full picture of what is happening in the world. The questions have been arranged in such a way that the answers will work together to provide an understanding of the overall context of history.
