I have selected a few videos that bring to life different perspectives on world history. I share them with you here hoping that they can also help with review of concepts from our studies of Global History.

Global Regents Review in 11 Minutes
Okay, I am going to be real with you, this video is real boring BUT 1) it is only 11 minutes AND 2) it literally covers every Regents Global vocab word and major topic, SO watch it...MORE than once!!!!!!!!! Enjoy (as mush as possible :).
History of the World in 7 Minutes
This video is a great review of all of the major turning points in world history.
History of the World in 2 Minutes
The video moves very quickly and is done completely in pictures set to music, no text. It is an incredibly powerful and visually stunning portrayal of the triumphs and defeats of humankind. It does make a rather dark statement about our future if we continue treating the environment poorly.
History of the World in 5 Minutes
This video shows 100 different artifacts that span both time and place. It does not do a very good job of explaining where any of the artifacts are from or their significance, but it is interesting to watch for artifacts that you recognize and can associate with your knowledge of global history.
Interactive Map of the Religions of the World Spreading
This video shows a map and a timeline of the 5 major religious beliefs from our study of global history: Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The video is also set to music which is kind of cheesy and can be distracting so you may want to turn down the volume on your computer.

Crash Course History
Imagine if Tim from Brainpop were a real person that you gave 100 cups of coffee to and then sent him to Harvard. What would you get? John Green. A real life person who presents 42 different areas from Global History and presents them in short videos lasting anywhere from 9-14 minutes. Be warned, they are cheesy, he is a major nerd, and they move super fast...but...they are a very good and compact review. Click the title for the link.
