About History of Nations:
Please note that much of the history data on this site is from public domain text at the United State Department of State Background Notes. This information has been modified (extensively in many cases) to make the information more accurate, reduce pro-American bias, and to keep each national history current. In addition, several other public domain sources have been used with considerable modification for articles as well. Although the text at the State Department site is in the public domain, nothing at this site is in the public domain. The unique changes made to the text is copyrighted and if you reproduce it without permission you may be held legally liable for copyright infringement. If you want to data dump public domain history text, go to the State Department site listed above.
The text of this site did NOT originate at any online user contributed encyclopedia. Many of the articles are similar because many of these user contributed encyclopedias and History of Nations have seeded national histories from the same public domain text. Although many have been confused about this fact, History of Nations is not a mirror of the content of these encyclopedias and does not have to link to these encyclopedia articles and does not have to comply with any licensing requirements.
