Good websites to help me in HL IB Contemporary history???

[Nashla1]

Hi everyone,

I am currently in the DP in the 11th grade. Unfortunately, lately I've been kind of struggling in my contemporary history class (HL). Right now we are focusing on WWI and WW2 (the causes, effects, dictators, battles, etc.) What are some good websites I can use to understand these topics?

Thank you.

To be honest, the best choice would be to find which historians your teacher is using for historiography for these units, and read their work. It will also not only give you a good sense of what was happening, but also can get you to add very nice historiography and critical analysis into your essays.
