(58,417 posts)I like that site, it also had a "40 maps that describe WWI" at the bottom of the page, that looked interesting, I will check it out at a later time.
Bookmarking.
Thanks for the thread, tomm2thumbs.

(22,057 posts)Please consider cross-posting this topic in the World History group. Even a great thread will disappear after a few days in GD but in World History it will be around for awhile. That way people who find it as cool as I do have a better choice of stumbling across it...
tomm2thumbs
(13,297 posts)If you are a regular there, that is... that way it has a fresh intro and maybe some insight into the link which I did not include. Would make it a better post by far!

(22,057 posts)Giving you proper credit of course. I'm going back to the website later today to read more anyway.
The Roman Empire is one of my main fascinations about history in general so its right up my alley.

(6,719 posts)Lots of fascinating information. And amazing to me to see how quickly things can move.
Also went thru the 40 maps explaining about the middle east. Again. Fascinating.
Thank you for the post. It is cool, smile.
