Major battles in American military explained with the use of animation.

"History Animated is a fantastic resource for teachers of US History. The animations will make great supplements to classroom instruction. The animations are a significant improvement over drawing or pointing to places on a map. The site currently features animations on the Pacific War, the Civil War, the Revolutionary War and the Battle of Britain.

"If a picture is worth a thousand words, a good animation is worth ten thousand. After reading book after book about the Pacific War and finding only complicated maps with dotted lines and dashed lines crisscrossing the pages, we decided to depict the key naval and land battles using animation technology."

Excellent collection of animated and interactive maps about the history of the U.S., Europe, Latin America, and Africa.

I'm loving animated historical maps at the moment, and there are an increasing number available around the place. This one focuses on American involvement in the Pacific during World War and the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. Lots of fun!

WWII propaganda film animated.Category:Film & Animation

he Pioneers Violin, 1971, directed by B. Stepantsev, Soyuzmultfilm. A Nazi soldier tries to force a young Soviet boy scout to play a German song on his violin. Instead he defiantly plays the [then] Soviet national anthem, The International, and is shot by the Nazi. Fyodor Khitruk: Patriotic themes existed and were included into the plan of Goskino (the State Film Committee)...We werent pushed to make films based on these themes, but the political repertoire was put together by what they approved or did not approve, as in feature films and literature. The Pioneers Violin probably wasnt promoted by somebody. They didnt write the scripts on Vasiliev Street [Goskino]. As I remember, Boris Stepanstev who made this film, made it honestly thinking it was needed.Category:Film & Animation

Useful animated map showing geographical extent of Chinese government across historical periods.

I've found this animated atlas useful for when I'm introducing a new unit to show the students the "grand sweep" of history. It's Euroasian-centric and some of the details are wrong, but the students seem to benefit from such a visual display.
