But I did learn a lot from Wikipedia. Wikipedia been that site everyone picks on for being 'unreliable' when it's information is often more up to date than other sources and often has reliable data. It's not perfect no but it's nowhere near as bad as people say it is. For casual reading because you're interested in history it's perfect because it's easy to read and navigate and generally has everything you want to know. Beside history books are often really biased and/or just simply wrong and borderline propaganda in some cases. |

As Frederick the Great said, Wikipedia is decent. Unless you're ready to use money, public domain books are your best bet. Unfortunately they are quite ancient (public domain books are published before 1921, I think.) I get these books from Project Gutenberg most of the time. They have quite a range of books so I'd clearly recommend that. Famous military history texts (On War and Infantry Attacks come to mind) are usually available online for download. There is a site for homeschool history curriculums called Heritage History. They offer an online library with public domain books as well. Don't expect books about modern historical events though. The latest they have is WWI. Of course, these books are often biased. They also have the tendency to tell stories and gloss over the details, so while history books help me get a clearer big picture, details go to Wikipedia. For example, expect these books to tell how a battle influenced history, but they won't talk much about the tactics, the numbers, or any events unworthy of note really. Some don't even consider the other side's perspective. For Karl IV: get interested in history with those biased, undetailed history books and get the details from Wikipedia. Note: not advertising here. Just giving advice based on my experience. |

Der Kaiserreich Napoleon Bonaparte Karl IV Frederick the Great Laurent de GouvionAs I walked along the road one day Kicking up stones along the way, I saw a bird of unusual size Who had a large beak and small, beady eyes. He strutted about and ruffled his wings Then he did the most ominous thing. He let out a screech and puffed out his chest I wanted to run from this evil pest. As this bird's mighty exterior did appear The inside of my chest was filled with fear. He put one talon forward, the other one next This troublesome bird was making me vexed. I then did something that was a great chance. I kicked a stone at him to stop his advance. He then chased the stone, oh joy of great joys! I felt myself one of the luckiest boys! Around the corner I ran, straight to my home, Leaving that bird confused and alone. Don't befriend a turkey (for that's what he was) Or he will attack you simply because.

Turkey Hindi Peru gobble-gobble Bird Poem Ah, the quaint Vespuccian custom of slaughtering native birds to remember the day which a certain group of helpful natives (soon to be genocided by said Vespuccians) sent food to their settlers to fend off starvation. Did the Natives realise the harmful side-effects of helping those settlers, I wonder? |
