Gapminder

Use Gapminder to explore the statistics of countries around the world, including those related to GDP, life expectancy, IMR, healthcare, literacy rate, and technology. Check specific countries or click on certain "Baubles" on the graph to isolate the countries you want to view. Hit the 'play' button to see how countries have changed through history. Don't forget to think about historical events that affected these countries, socially and economically like; the Industrial Revolution, WWI, WWII, the Great Depression, Vietnam, etc. Think about how what is happening the world now (Mexican drug wars, uprisings in the Middle East and Africa) and how these could be affecting countries in those areas.
