History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from Phoenician Civilization to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.
The Phoenicians have gone down in history as the original seafarers of the world. It's interesting to note that they were considered a lost civilization until archeologists and etymologists discovered ancient writings from Phoenicia that revealed vital information about the civilization. They existed from 1500-300 B.C. influencing what would be the origins of maritime trade. The Phoenicians would establish colonies through riches and territories gained through maritime trade and wished one of their trading cities to be a formidable enemy to Ancient Rome.
Their name Phoenicia is believed to come from the Greeks referencing the purple dye that they specialized in that was highly coveted. The alphabet and trading tactics of the Phoenicians influenced the Greeks, Egyptians, and other ancient civilizations around them almost as much as their trade did. Even mentioned in the Bible, modern-day Lebanon is believed to be what is left of the Phoenician civilization. I am not

History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from Mongolian Empire to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.
The Rise and Fall of the Mongolian Empire is such a fascinating story that it reads like fiction. It seems quite fantastic that a few militant tribesmen could create an empire that conquered most of the then-known world in the space of fewer than two hundred years. It is an epic drama that deserves its place on any movie screen.
The terrifying control wrought by Genghis Khan and his descendants gives us a stern warning about the damage that a single-minded dictator can cause. It's a trend that we have seen throughout history although not quite in the spectacular manner of the Mongolian Empire.

History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from Aztec Empire to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.
The Aztec Empire began its humble beginnings in the Valley of Mexico and went through at least four rulers before they could call their civilization an empire. Their practices were centered on their religion, which involved daily human sacrifices to help appease their gods. However, their social order is quite different from the European way that we are all most familiar with. Leadership and slavery are not hereditary for them. Slaves had rights and benefits while being nobility and a merchant were hereditary social classes. The demise of the Aztec Empire was tragic, as they welcomed the Spaniards with open arms, but the latter replied with hostility.

History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from History of Ethiopia to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.
Ethiopia's rich and wonderful history has been traced to four million years ago, based on the oldest hominid discovered by the respected American paleoanthropologist Tim D. White in 1994. First known as Abyssinia, this landlocked East African country and its empire were founded in the thirteenth century by the formidable nobleman Yekuno Amlak who claimed to be descended from the renowned Queen of Sheba and the last Aksumite king Menelik I. Enriching its vibrant, often violent history, was the country's deep-rooted faith in an ancient form of Christianity. As rulers and leaders rose and fell, wars were fought to keep the Christian faith at the heart of the land. The struggle for power came to a fraught end, along with the empire in 1974.

History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from History of Sweden to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.
The country of Sweden has a peculiar history. It started with them being a part of Scandinavia (which they still are) and their struggles within that group of countries. Sweden also has their Vikings and their history with Christianity. Another point of interest is their neutrality during World War I and II. But Sweden is more than just its history. There is still the matter of their art and culture, and how they've progressed in the political, social, and agricultural aspects of their society.

History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from History of Scotland to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.
Scotland-its very name evokes a myriad of emotions. It's the country of romance, history, war, and hardship. It's the country of brave men dressed in kilts, playing the haunting music of the bagpipes, and raising gooseflesh on those who hear them. It's the country of crags and lochs, giant stags and of whisky distilled using water from deep peat bogs.
The uniqueness of Scotland and the independent spirit of its people has been the cause of much conflict with its English neighbors over the centuries. The refusal of the Scots to give up their culture and amalgamate with those of their conquerors left deep resentment and frustration, but undeniably, the Scottish people are admired for their stubborn passion for their own culture. No one, however unemotional, can pretend to be untouched by the history of Scotland and its brave people.

History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from Native American History to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.
Native American history and culture is unique and beautiful. Having endured dire circumstances and oppressive colonization, they have fought for generations to keep their spirit alive. Fighting, though, is not the legacy that they will leave this world. A love for nature, community and beautiful traditions encompass a lot of the Native American identity and teach us in a modern world that is much too westernized and toxic that old civilizations really knew what they were doing.

History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from Battle of New Orleans to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.
The Battle of New Orleans was fought as the climax of the British's Gulf Campaign between Britain and the United States of America on January 8, 1815. The conflict began five months earlier than the War of 1812 when the United States and its indigenous allies fought against the United Kingdom and its allies who were trying to recolonize the country. Brevet Major General Andrew Jackson led his troops to a triumphant victory. The United States victory at the Battle of New Orleans is noted in history as a symbol of American democracy and the end of old-fashioned European ideas about aristocracy and entitlement. The Battle of Orleans was the last armed engagement between the two warring nations.

History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from Minoan Civilization to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.
Who were the Minoans? This ancient Bronze Age civilization has left historians and archaeologists puzzled. While other Bronze Age civilizations follow a typical pattern, the Minoans were such an advanced culture that some experts believed that they could be the lost tribe of Atlantis, which was a mystical city described by Plato and, apparently, populated by half gods/half men.
And why did Minoan culture disappear in the space of a few hundred years? Was it a volcano? Deforestation? Invasion by a greater force? The answers must be painstakingly found from the dust in archaeological sites, and the results are fascinating.

History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from Battle of Verdun to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.
The Battle of Verdun was planned by German General Erich von Falkenhayn, who wanted to weaken the French army by causing heavy casualties. He believed that the British army, combined with the French army, could severely impact the outcome of the war. The other allies of the British were the Italian and the Russian armies. By then Russia had already been immobilized, and Italy was unlikely to cause any serious threat to the Central powers. That left out France and eliminating the French army would create an advantage for the Germans. Through the battle at Verdun, Falkenhayn wanted to bleed France white.
The Battle of Verdun became a symbol of the horrors of trench warfare and the destructiveness of war. It brought the armies of both sides to the brink of collapse. Several French villages were completely destroyed and remain uninhabitable to this date.
