The best way to understand history (and do well on the Advanced Placement exams in AP US history, AP European history and AP World History as well as regents or other end of course exams) is to begin with learning the facts, dates, names, places, events, and quotes of history. Once you understand the basic facts, its time to start putting the facts together into trends, developments and themes. These are what make up excellent essays. This site will help you learn the facts and get the analysis necessary to do well on multiple choice questions and on essay questions.
