When I have to find some materials for my history studies, I usually prefer using books (especially old encyclopedias), but I also find a lot of information on the Internet. There are hundreds or even thousands of quite informative websites made by various museums, university professors, or simply individuals passionate about world history.
The most interesting history for me is that of the Ancient World. I think it is especially intriguing to read about ancient EGYPT, about classic GREECE and ROME. Among the civilizations that interest me most were also those of the MIDDLE EAST, such as MESOPOTAMIA.
Because I am fascinated by the HISTORY OF THE ARYAN RACE, not only our European history, but the history of ANCIENT INDIA as well is one of the most important subjects on the list of my studies.
Another very interesting culture was that of the Celts. For this reason I’ve searched for some good material on the Internet and at long last I’ve found the website which is called “ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THE CELTS,” and, yes, it has information on every Celtic topic you could possibly think of.
Other recommended websites about ancient cultures are these

I’ve also collected some good links about important kings, leaders, and heroes throughout history. People that especially were significant in the history of the world are JULIUS CEASAR, the great Roman dictator,
ALEXANDER THE GREAT, who conquered most of the known world during his time, CHARLEMAGNE, the famous king of the Franks, JOAN OF ARC, the girl who saved France from the English, and WILLIAM WALLACE, who fought for the freedom of Scotland. From more recent times – NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, the French military leader and emperor. I also found a website about the FRENCH REVOLUTION, which happened before Napoleon’s rise to power.
After the Ancient World my favorite subject is the MIDDLE AGES. I have found interesting websites about BYZANTIUM, and such significant event as the battle of HASTINGS, which happened in the year 1066.
Following the Middle Ages there was the RENAISSANCE, a time of cultural rebirth and revolution of thought. This was the time when such great people as LEONARDO DA VINCI, the greatest genius the world has ever known, and GALILEO, the famous Italian astronomer, lived.
