The new beta version of MacFamilyTree included for the first time, a feature that displays events in world history. This can help you understand the lives and events of your ancestors in the context of the world around them. In this video, World History in Mac Genealogy Software MacFamilyTree, I demonstrate how to how to add your own custom events and how to use the feature when editing an event, displaying a timeline, creating a person chart, and exporting genealogy data to a website.
Hi, Jennie. Reunion 9 has similar functionality called perspective events. I published a couple of screencasts on using them:

Another Use for Perspective Events in Reunion 9
It's not implemented exactly the same, but it's there.
