AP History maps: every unit of AP World, APUSH and AP European History
Maps for every unit and period of the three AP History courses. Each unit links the historical maps of its years, which show every state and empire on the map, and the guided atlases that cover it, with chapters, causes and consequences and a map quiz. Open any year on the interactive map, or ask the history guide to show and explain a topic before you write about it.

Questions
Are these maps useful for AP World History map questions?
Yes. Each map lists every state and empire in the region that year and opens on the interactive map, where you can check exactly where a state was and how its borders changed between units.
Do the atlases follow the AP course?
The atlases are written as history, not as an exam course. This page shows which atlas covers which unit and period, so you can read the right chapters and take their map quizzes.
Can I ask questions about an AP topic?
Yes. Ask the history guide any question, for example to explain the causes of the First World War or to compare two empires, and it answers in plain words and draws the answer on the map.
