This site is written about chocolate history in chronological order. There are many cultures by now. And chocolate history is the same as it. Chocolate affected many cultures and traditions, and even international economics. And a lot of famous people have to do with chocolate.

Chocolate made by cacao. There are several species of cocoa trees. According to this website, they are very delicate and sensitive plants, and need protection from wind and sun.

These are Christopher Columbus, Aztec Chocolate, Solid Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Belgian Pralines, Chocolate War and Chocolate Information. I knew about the Chocolate War for the first time. According to this site, the Chocolate War refers to the dispute between Britain, Ireland and Denmark and other chocolate-producing nations in the European Union. France, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Italy and others refused to recognize chocolate produced by these three nations, proposing it should be banned.
