"The Ming dynasty began in 1368, and lasted until 1644 A.D. Its founder was a peasant, the third of only three peasants ever to become an emperor in China. He is known as Hongwu Emperor, and led the revolt against the Mongols and the Yuan Dynasty. He was constantly worried about conspiracies against himself, and despite the many moral homilies he gave, favored violence in dealing with any one suspected of plotting against him or associated with the conspirators.

Seems to give thorough and accurate definitions of terms related to Classical history. Seems to be neglecting the reality that Asia had Ancient History too, but that's a minor oversight. Only a couple of billion people lived there anyway... Would be great for preliminary student research and definitions.

I'm being lazy. I've been going through and saving these sites individually but I'm sick of looking at them. I'll come back later and finish the job. There are heaps of sites there on ancient history.

I usually don't add secondary sources (I've found books are much more comprehensive - secondary websites seem usually quite simplistic in their treatments) but thought this might be useful for people working with younger classes doing preliminary research or activities on ancient civilisations.

A series of links to Chinese history collections, provided by the National Library of China. There are a few dead links and the Chinglish can be amusing, but seems as though there are some useful sources in there for Chinese history.

Just checked this site out for Medieval History maps. The site is only in Beta phase at the moment and only covers up to the end of Ancient History. i.e. 500AD

Has quite a bit of modern information (which isn't too bad though suffers from the usual brevity and superficiality which afflicts internet secondary sources) and some primary documents if you follow the links.

This looks very cool. Quite big (2G) but maybe you can talk to the ICT department... I saw a similar thing for Ancient Rome on Google Earth but you need a powerful computer to run it and my laptop wasn't up to the job. Gen-Y is so visual, things like this can be great tools.
