This review concentrates on the oldest populations in the LMC. Specifically, the LMC has a large extent and mass, it has star clusters coeval with those in the Milky Way halo, and more work needs to be done before we are convinced that there are similarly-aged field stars in the LMC. Further, all studied fields in the Clouds are different from Milky Way halo fields. Observations with the new generation of large telescopes can clear up the uncertainties noted in this review.
