Rome — From Republic to Fall of Constantinople (509 BC – 1453 AD)

The full arc of Roman civilization: the Republic's expansion from a city-state, the Empire at its peak under Trajan, the East-West split, the fall of the Western Empire, and the long decline of Byzantium until the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople.

The Ottoman Empire (1299–1923)

The rise and fall of the Ottoman Empire: from Osman I's tiny beylik in northwest Anatolia to the vast empire spanning three continents, and its final dissolution into the Turkish Republic.

The Black Death (1346–1353)

The spread of the bubonic plague across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. From the siege of Kaffa in Crimea (1346) to Moscow (1353). One of the deadliest pandemics in human history, killing an estimated 25–50 million people — roughly 30–60% of Europe’s population.

Brazil — From Colony to Empire (1500–1828)

The territorial history of Brazil, from Cabral's landing (1500) through Portuguese colonization, the Dutch invasion, independence as an empire (1822), and the Cisplatine War that created Uruguay (1828).

Europe
