Get books on them desu
Like just go on amazon, read reviews and go for it
Try to get ones reviewed well by experts in the field
>>
Get general books on history, i.e. A History of Western Civilization. Really just any book used in university courses.

Damn. My high school only had AP world and AP U.S. history, and we could only either learn French or Spanish. Anyway, you should look around online for book reccomendations, so maybe you should make a thread on /lit/. If that doesn't work, go to a bookstore and look for books there. I'd encourage you to try and read books that had somewhat of an impact on history, or were written by a prominent figure. For example I just finished reading Vom Kriege.

Agreed. /askhistorians is one of the few subreddits on that site I'll ever regularly visit.
Controversially speaking, I'd go so far as to say it's even better than /his/ at what it does...It's almost like learning and understanding history makes you redpilled in and of itself.

The picture in there is just the Penguin History of Europe series. It's excellent. As a student of medieval history, I can especially recommend Chris Wickham's history of the early middle ages (The Inheritance of Rome), it is fantastic.

Use Wikipedia to get your feet wet. If you want to garner a deeper understanding, read the materials Wikipedia and college-level textbooks list as their references.
