To use this with current versions of react-router (v4) you need to use a switch element. This is how I got mine to work:

// Routes
const routes = (
    <Router history={History}>
        <App>
            <Switch>
                <Route exact path="/" component={Home} />
                <Route path="/about" component={About} />
                <Route path="/courses" component={Courses} />
                <Route path="/teachers" component={Teachers} />
                <Route component={NotFound} />
            </Switch>
        </App>
    </Router>
);

To see errors, press Cmmd+Shift+i on a Mac and Ctrl-Shift-i on Windows. I recommend doing this on Google Chrome or Firefox since I think you have to install things when using other browsers.
