Kind of an interesting aggregation but Wikipedia is a lot of information to try and consume for a "brief history" I do like the tree view, but I don't like having to open up the different sections, I think I should be able to get what I'm looking for on the landing page. Also, and this is subjective but something about the UX makes it feel like an overwhelming amount of information, especially the health and environment section. I would want it to feel like something I could absorb in a few minutes.

How are you generating the trees?

Yes, the 'Health and environment' section is quite overwhelming, mostly due to COVID-19. That's why I close each section initially, this way you open only the sections that interest you.

I modify the tree from Wikipedia slightly to get a less cluttered overview.[1]
