Year One. No Year Zero. See the world as it stood—Rome ascendant, Han enduring, trade routes stirring—one year at a time.
Welcome to WORLD HISTORY CE, a clear, map-driven journey through the Common Era. We start in Year 1 and move forward step by step, highlighting the people, power shifts, beliefs, and connections that shaped our world—without drowning you in minutiae.
Who was born, who died, and what shifted at the margins A global snapshot with Rome and Han as anchors Trade, faith, and daily life across regions How small events in Year One echo through later centuries
Why this series? History gives context. We use concise timelines, maps, and primary-source perspectives to make the past legible—and useful—today.
Join the journey Comment with what surprised you about Year One, and tell me which region you want mapped next.
