The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History "Essential Questions in Teaching American History"

At the beginning of the 20th century, China was divided into sphere of influence with each powerful Western nation trying to exert as much control over it as possible. The Chinese resented foreigners control and expressed this at the beginning of the 20th century with the Boxer Rebellion. At the same time, the traditional government of China began to fail in the early years. The Chinese people, being resentful of foreigners and dissatisfied with inability of the present government to throw them out, initiated the Revolution of 1911, replacing the Chinese 2000 year old imperial system with the Republic of China headed by Sun Yat-sen.

Scholars of ancient history and IT experts at Stanford University have collaborated to create a novel way to study Ancient Rome. ORBIS, a geospatial network model, allows visitors to experience the strategy behind travel in antiquity.

A great collection of historical resources on the New Deal.

This group is dedicated to Ancient Civs, especially Egypt. I didn't want to just pinch their bookmarks as that's a bit rude (seeings I'm in this group) so I thought bookmarking their bookmarks, which will update, the best way. There are some great sites here.

Although this is an online secondary source site (which in my experience are usually superficial and dodgy) the information seems to be quite thorough and good-quality. That's probably because it's run by University College London. Many interesting and informative themes are picked up. Definitely good for student research or classwork/homework.

Has some very good articles related mostly to US history.

The site features picture essays, timelines, videos, and interactive guides to significant events in European and World history. Made From History is divided into four sections; WWI, WWII, Civil Rights, and Referenced Blog
