Game of Thrones and Vikings cannot compete with the real story - how much more dramatic is truth? World History in Video currently has twelve documentaries on the Vikings, and over a thousand on history in general. You can select from several themes, from War and violence to Family history, the Middle Ages and many many more. There are featured playlists on popular themes. It is also possible to search by name, place, narrator, or language. Each video includes a transcript and links to related documents or other material.
The documentaries cover all historical periods up to the present, although the emphasis is on Western and American history, people, and events.
