History

There's overlap in some of these cases, because the web pages applied in more than one area and/or era.

Some of the links I've put in here aren't as much about the history of a time or place or people as their culture during some time in the past. When that's the case, I've noted it.

Not only are there many dozen links to a wide variety of pages on the First Nations, but there are 49 essays on the histories and cultures of individual Nations/Peoples.

Japan

Like a lot of geeky white boys, I'm a big Nipponophile. I've always found the history of Japan fascinating; first, as a kid and teenager, the samurai era (what geeky kid wouldn't be interested in a culture where "honor" and "duty" weren't concepts to laugh at, but ideals to take seriously), and later most of the rest of the country's history and culture. These are some of the links I've found on the Web that I've found interesting or informative or somehow good. (As with the India section, some of these sites have large numbers of links, rather than primary documents. I will, eventually, get to them)
