I want to learn more about countries and where they are on maps?

Question

I want to take more interest in other countries and be able to picture them on the world map. My knowledge is very basic and I think I should be more aware of world affairs.

I have a small globe at home, but can anyone recommend a good beginner's book or website that is a good introduction.

Answer 1

Just start with google or wikipedia, trying to find out about Asia, Europe, Africa, and Australia. And afterwards you may go deeper into those subjects by choosing website which gets you more specific information,

Answer 2

http://www.infoplease.com/countries.html

In this site you can have so many informations about all the countries from the world.

You should go step by step, Let's start with the continents; We have seven continents: http://cache.eb.com/eb/image?id=89959&re...

After you know the continents you can learn about the countries from Europe:

http://europa.eu/abc/european_countries/...

In this site you can see all the european countries and also their history, so you have to go there and click and all the countries so like this you will learn about them all.

After Europe you can go to Asia:

You could mess around in flickr.  People put their photos on the map, so you can click on them, on the map, then get an idea of what some of the monuments and landmarks are.  It's all interactive and can be fun, that way.
