Valiant Hearts has a lot of historical info about WW1. If you like puzzle games then I'd recommend it.

Valiant Hearts, any Total War game that's not Warhammer (I learned so much about the Germanic tribes in TW: Attila. Fascinating people), Battlefield 1 campaign (lol I know), Call of Duty 1- 3, Civilization.

I'd recommend some Total War mostly. You got Classical Antiquity with Rome 1/2, Medieval times with Medieval 2, fall of Rome/Migration of Germanic Tribes in Attila (as well as Justinian's conquests/Charlemagne in the dlc), and Sengoku Jidai in Shogun 2 (along with the rise/fall of the samurai as DLC). I'd avoid the Empire/Napoleon total war games.

Battlefield 1

The implication was that OP wanted a game that actually represented the history it was set in, not just a modern game with a different skin.

The Viking Conquest DLC for Mount and Blade: Warband.

And as Luci and Gats have said: Total War.

The wargame series is also cool if you're a fan of the cold war

I think he's thinking of the Auzzie campaign

Assassin's Creed and its sequel were fairly decent at teaching history, moreso the second one. However, I'm sure you've already played them.
