World History Word Search
This world history word search covers five thousand years in forty words, from the ancient pyramids to the Cold War: empire and dynasty, revolution and treaty, the Silk Road, the Crusades and the United Nations.
World history follows the connections between peoples. The Silk Road was not one road but a web of caravan routes that, from about 130 BC, carried Chinese silk west and horses, glass and silver east, along with ideas; Buddhism reached China that way. The same routes carried plague, and the Black Death of the 1340s moved from Central Asia along trade lines to the ports of the Mediterranean. After 1492, crops, animals and diseases crossed the Atlantic in both directions, so corn and potatoes fed Europe while horses and smallpox reached the Americas.
The steam engine began the Industrial Revolution in Britain in the late 1700s, and a world of farmers started turning into a world of cities. Two world wars followed in the 1900s. The United Nations was founded in 1945 by 51 countries and now has 193 members, and the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union ended soon after the Berlin Wall fell in November 1989.
