History Animated
If, like me, you have a few students and teachers who fancy themselves fill-in-the-blank war buffs, if the Civil War, World War II, and the Revolutionary War are part of your curriculum, you’re going to want to share HistoryAnimated.
The site brings to life those dashed and dotted line maps to depict key naval and land battles using graphics, text, sound, and animations. So much more effective and so much more scalable than those static pull-down shade maps! Not every battle is included, but the folks at HistoryAnimated appear to be adding battles on a regular basis.

In addition to the animated maps (with their play commands and timelines), you’ll find descriptions of events with sources, photographs of the major players, and links to recommended books and films.
No registration is necessary to use, but registered users get alerts regarding additions and updates.
