link to some history

i found an amazing site with WAY to much information to absorb. there are a world of links to help you understand any historical era you wish to brush up on.

http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/modsbook.html

on the left is a green column with different topics. i found the sections with socialism, imperialism, US power and 20C Latin America the most useful.



here are a few of the links that i found the most intriguing! they are very simple and clear summaries and outlines of topics discussed or referred to in class. i promise, all are informative, short and easy to read :)
