Modern History
For this assignment you will create a chronological timeline that focuses on the revolutions throughout the world. Focus on key events, leaders, trends, etc. when
creating the timeline, and be sure to order dates correctly. The timeline should only
include the key highlights of revolutions that have been studied over the last few weeks
(please do not include any dates after the nineteenth century).
Timelines should have a minimum of 15 dates, and the quality of date choices is more important than the exact number. Excessive detail is not necessary, and if exact dates
are not known, an estimate is not a problem. When possible be sure to also include the
month and date in addition to the year of an event. For each item on the timeline, you
should include the event, the date, and a brief description of the event. Use any format,
but ensure that the timeline is attractive, professional, and easy to follow/read. The
page setup can be portrait or landscape. Feel free to add pictures, clip art, color, etc.
The timelines found in the textbook are useful, but feel free to use any source. Cite all
sources. This information should be included on the bottom of the last page of your
timeline. Any timelines received without citations will receive a zero.
