A Short History of the World, by H.G. Wells, Part 10

Apr 20, 2026

Let’s continue our theme month of “Long-time Favorites” with more from this quickstep march through the history of our world. This time, the revolutionary teachings of Jesus, the rise of the Christian church, barbarian hordes, and the final fall of the Roman Empire, all in less than hour. Short indeed!
