World History

The World History group is interested in the history of different places and times worldwide: British, European, Asian, African: the list is endless. Members are invited to offer short presentations on appropriate topics, with multiple contributors per meeting, plus sufficient time for discussion. We hope that all members contribute over the course of the topic. The present subject is a particular decade in history, namely the 1620s. As a postscript to our meetings, we have “Anniversaries”, namely quick-fire events, births and deaths occurring that day in history.
For details of the future schedule, visit IGO Calendar and select World History from the dropdown list.
