News:
Read the international sections of the papers. Most current events deal with issues that started in the past. Reading about them, provides familiarity with current conditions around the world and the relevance of world history in our lives. I strongly recommend The Economist as a news source with fabulous writing. Good World News Sources:
Headlines from Around the world!
