An extensive list of people, places, and things that are important to the AP Euro curriculum.

This site is put together by an AP Euro teacher.  He has put together 56 short videos to help explain various topics that we have studied or will study.  It looks like he is adding on to it every once in a while.  The content is good, but realize that the topics are limited and does not cover the entire course as of yet

The Idiot's Guide is written by a European History teacher and really puts the topics of study in a much easier read.  He uses plain language and gets to the point.  Throughout the book he has different interesting points that are oddities, but make history a bit more intriguing.  In the homework schedule I have put the corresponding pages to our textbook so that you can possibly read this book first before diving into the homework.  It DOES NOT replace our textbook since it is a bit light on detail in some areas.

A wonderful website established by the British government.  There is an abundance of links to information to an absurd amount of events that are covered in AP Euro.  Highly recommended that you take a look at this site to further your understanding of certain people and events in AP Euro.

Possibly an easier way to introduce the topics of European History that will be taught.  Hank is a former AP Euro student from Redondo Beach High School, but uses another textbook and discusses each chapter in separate podcasts that last for about an hour.  Don't pay attention to the chapter, pay attention to the title of the chapter.  In other words, The Protestant Reformation is listed as Chapter 14, but in our textbook it is Chapter 13

Tom Richey is an AP European History teacher in South Carolina.  A couple of years ago he started putting lectures online for students.  His site has a series of chats, video lectures, and other helpful material.  He has a bit of a southern accent.  He is a good guy and well-respected in the land of AP Euro

John Green is better known for his novels involving teenage characters such as The Fault in Our Stars, Paper Towns, and Looking for Alaska.  However, he has put together an inordinate amount of videos for a lot of different topics.  This link takes you to videos that are specific to European History in chronological order.  He talks extremely fast, but it is entertaining.
