The Gateway to World History, a mega site.

I have found a very interesting website for studying countries. It brings you to a World Fact Book home page and you can pick your country of choice and find out tons of information. It is maintained (as you may note) by the CIA which makes the information (to me) that much more interesting. ~Angela

historical info on the Korean War.
Free Educational Materials are available for teaching about the Korean War, including class sets of a special 52 page issue of Cobblestone Magazine on the Korean War. Included are Historical photos from the National Archives. Since these are in class sets, you might consider ordering one for your support group library or co-op class, or at the least, sharing with other home school moms to make the most of these resources.
