Welcome to History, the place where I will be writing about interesting events throughout history you haven’t heard of and in some cases are never talked about! They will each be separated into broad histories and categorized based on time (BC-AD for ease). Each document contains sources, my opinions, links to key terms and are subject to change over time based on new evidence or collaboration with anyone else.
