There is an increasing realisation that our knowledge of world history – and how it all fits together is far from perfect. World History app aims to fill the big gaps in our historical knowledge that is easy to read and assumes little prior knowledge of past events.

Learn World History contains two quizzes in one app. First you can get a sense of the order of historical events by using the Which Came First quiz in which you choose the first of two events to happen. Then learn exact dates with the When Did It Happen quiz where you have to identify a specific year when an event occurred.


Historians draw conclusions from past approaches to history but in the end they always write in the context of their own time current dominant ideas of how to interpret the past and even subjective viewpoints.
