World History Events is designed for event-centred research. It searches the existing historical database and presents matching records in a consistent event-first sequence.
The primary order is event, followed by year, month, day and name2. Year searches request the complete matching set before exact duplicate removal. Name1, place and description are displayed as supporting context for each result.
Choose a country first, then select one of its available years. The existing General, General Sub-Set, Event, name2 and name1 cascades continue to work as before.
