mneumonic devices help me. Or if I can find some way to relate to the details that helps. Also if I understand the big picture I can usually remember most details. Still have trouble with names. I'll know who I'm talking about but I can not remember that guy who invaded some country in some year I can remember either 2 but not 3 of those facts. Unfortunately I tend to get taken off points for making up a name in an essay question.
