World History Threads is a website made for lovers of history, politics, and writing.

We have 3 main sections…


World History Essays: An academic journal of history-related essays written by high school students from all over the world.

Our essays link historical events to modern day issues, and encourage cross-cultural dialogue and understanding.


The Living History Project: A collection of essays dedicated to capturing firsthand accounts of individuals who have witnessed pivotal moments in history.

Along with well-research historical background, these essays help our readers understand what it was like to live through important moments instead of just reading about them.
