what are so good books to get an overview of history if I know literally nothing about it? (homeschooled by my mom who doesn't believe in history)
>>24811530Your mother is right, history is fake and gay.
>>24811530>doesn't believe in historyBased mother. There is no past. There is no future. There is only now and now is forever.
>>24811530It doesnt exist. We don't know our history. Best you can find is some recent governments latest creation myth story.Its all hopeless.
will durant's story of civilization
>>24811530Public school history is super abbreviated>start with Mesopotamia >immediately jump to Greeks>immediately jump to Rome around the end of the Republic>Augustus takes over>shit happens>then Constantinople takes over, converts to Christianity>then it collapses (brainlets think that Christianity had a lot to do with it, despite Julian the Apostate made everything worse and a series of absentee emperors who refused to do anything as Rome was attacked)>then the Dark Ages>then the Renaissance>then the rise of the British Empire>then the founding of America>all the major wars of the 19th and 20th century>World War II >Cold War/civil rights>probably VERY brief discussion of how we got hereUsually by that time we ran out of time, in American history we didn't even get to the farm labor guy in California, Cesar Romero or whatever his name was
>>24811760>>then Constantinople takes over, converts to Christianityclose
>>24811530Posting online about how your life is so sad and you are a retarded anime girl for pity points from a bunch of anonymous strangers has got to be the weirdest fetish.
Kek my wife is determined to homeschooling our child at least up to 6th grade. I was a straight A student for my entire school run but even I think it's kind of a risky idea. At best she learns alot and becomes a female autist.
>>24811813She is going to become a giga slut as soon as the leash comes off friend. Hope you're ready for this. Also give me her digits when she does. I'd like to get early in the line before her snatch is completely worn out.
>>24811825Believe me that's a massive concern. Not sure how I'll find the balance of demonization of sexuality and acceptance I'm order to make her decent. Shit both my sisters ended up prudes with 4 or less partners their entire life. Took my wives virginity too
>>24811530>Cambridge Ancient History >Cambridge Medieval History >Cambridge Modern History Get started there alot
>>24811530robert graves' Claudius books gave a pretty good idea if Rome around the time of christ

>>24811530if you can decode British humidity circa 1920, look up "1066 and all that" By sellars and yeatman. they decide history is only the parts you can remember.
>>24811813Public schools in Canada are appallingly bad. What amazes me is not how little the students learn, but that they learn anything at all.
>>24811530>what are so good books>homeschooled by my momwe know
>>24811825That's why they used to marry them off as soon as they were old enough to leave the home

>>24812002GOT EEEEM holy shit i didn't even notice it when i read it. Good eye anon.
read plato before you read historythen start with the greeks (and romans). assuming you are white of course, if not start with whatever your national historiography is.
>>24811831I remember having a homeschooled girl when she was 20 eat my ass regularly. She is now married to a pastor with 4 kids. Hilarious slut. Drank my piss too.
>>2481153048 Laws of Power is pretty fun
>>24811530based mom
You are not missing out on public school my man. Failed experiment. Only works in a homogeneous society.I don't know fuck all about world history and can not refer any books to you and I went to school.
>>24812157>assuming you are white of coursehe is indian
>>24812157>read plato before you read historyisn’t that just the same as being homeschooled by your mom who doesn’t believe in history?
