Following the instructions below, download a graph file of your Facebook network, pop it into Gephi, and play around with some of its features: https://persuasionradio.wordpress.com/2010/05/06/using-netvizz-gephi-to-analyze-a-facebook-network/ (the process is explained step-by-step in the embedded slideshow). Note that to install Gephi, you may need to install the Java development kit as well: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html.

Martin Grandjean also has a great introduction to Gephi on his blog, with two data sets concerning Europe’s League of Nations in the 1920’s. Try to construct the networks as indicated: http://www.martingrandjean.ch/gephi-introduction/
Alternatively, or in addition:
- Using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Peloponnesian_War, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delian_League, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peloponnesian_League, create a network that shows the relationships between Greek poleis at the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War. You should focus on poleis allied to the major cities (Athens, Sparta), and the hostilities between major states.
