OneWorld History makes world history open, accurate, and fair to every people in it — on one globe and one timeline. Learn more
OneWorld History is building one place to explore the whole human story: guided tours, nation and empire histories, maps of how borders changed, data charts and sourced event cards, all on one globe and one timeline.
Our mission is to make world history open, accurate and fair to every people in it. Personal members help keep the catalog growing and will get the full library as it opens.

A note on the borders. Maps follow a European political-map convention and are approximate. Indigenous territories often overlapped and were shared, and Indigenous nations did not disappear when these maps stop drawing them.
Residential schools. This layer marks places where children were taken from their families, for the years each site operated, with location precision shown per site. No photographs or records of deaths are shown. Support: National Indian Residential School Crisis Line, 1-866-925-4419 (24 hours).
AI-assisted, human-reviewed. OneWorld History text, charts and some images were drafted with AI tools and reviewed by people; sources are cited on each card and chart. It can still contain mistakes and is not a substitute for a textbook or a teacher.
