This is a fantastic post- you should keep doing these for more centuries! (The 1300s are especially eventful.) I've spent years studying world history, and I still have trouble keeping a lot of it straight. Posts like these would be great resources for people just getting into world history. (Just as a self plug- I actually literally just posted a list of good books to read to start studying world history. I always feel really awkward promoting myself, but it's super relevant this time around.)
