im trying to start learn about world history but im confused where to start.any figure?
>aristoteles?
>julius caesar?
>einstein?
>hitler?
Why would you pick a figure if you're trying tolearn about world History? Wouldn't you rather pick up some sort of general texts on specific issues? like Europe in the Post-War/Middle Ages/whatever, for example
can you tell me what is that.i have no idea what is that sorry

The era right before the American and french revolutions is a good start.

No, you should obviously start with the neolithicum and the agricultural revolution

Get an encyclopedia that generally covers history, or even history encyclopedia for kids. Then get deeper or choose a period into your liking.

I don't think there's anything inherently wrong about learning about the prominent figures in history, because you'll learn about their context to, leading to a broader understanding of the period.
But that's just my pleb opinion.

I've started reading about the nazi germany with "The Rise and Fall" as my introductory book. You might give that a shot. It's a journalistic account though and from what ive seen most historians dont consider it a great history book

As opposed to learning about potato prices in 17th century or African tribe names?
