https://retred.org is a repository of (right now historical) events. There wasn't a good place where you can view and (soon will be able to add/edit) historical facts, not to mention cutting it up in various ways to see how things relate.

this is such a great idea!

it would be great to be able to choose a series of events (e.g. d-day or the Beatles tour in 1967) and see the progression of events across a map in the order they happened.

or to get a cross section of all the events that happened on a given date around the world or in a chosen area.

edit: after exploring further I realise some of this is already possible. again, a great idea!

Thanks - as you say, if you search for a thing you will see the events with lines between them showing the progression of events in chronological order.

You can use the time bar on the top to alter the date range, and there are "favourite" era's selectable at the drop down down the bottom.
