Table of time I: 3500 BC - 1900

Mar 31, 2011 14:12


I was making some research about world history today, and I thought it could be interesting to do something like a "chronological table" of important events through history. So, here you go the first part. My knowledge may be very limited, since here in Italy we really do not study much other than European history... but I will try my best. I will only put there important things (IMHO), consider that this is done in a very Hetalia-way, so think of it in a very Hetalia-way you too.

NOTE ABOUT COLORS USED: wars are marked in red; important poeple in green, important facts in purple, and facts regarding a nation in blue. Mistakes are common there. XD
