Historical events during 3000 BC - 1500 AD Timeline

The precursors of the Trojan war had its roots in the activities of gods, a common theme in mythology. The Trojan war lasted 10 years. After the war, some of the major characters, that survived, went on to live other stories and adventures.

This is important because it's a big part of what we study in schools especially English classes leading up to the odyssey and other mythological stories.

Like today, many Ancient Romans strived to earn a living by writing. Some would read their work in public, like a musician performing on the street, or like an author promoting a new release in a bookstore today. Fortunately, many of these writers were talented, and much of their work has survived, at least in translations.
Ex. Livius Andronicus adapted Homer’s The Odyssey for a Latin audience in 240 B.C., marking the beginning of key Roman works.

I believe this is important because in our culture we still study Latin and translate it from the original works especially for religious purposes.

The earliest encyclopedic work to have survived to modern times is the Naturalis Historia of Pliny the Elder, a Roman statesman living in the 1st century AD. His work compiled of 37 chapters covering: natural history, architecture, medicine, geography, geology, and of the world around him. He stated in the introduction that he had over 20,000 facts from 2000 works by over 200 authors, and added many others from his own experience. The work was published around AD 77-79, although he never finished proofing the work before his death in AD 79.

The publishing of the encyclopedia is important to the way the world is studied and also to the stills we are taught in schools around the world.

The Guild set standards and protected their members, like our modern labor laws. This provided fair pricing and quality of workmanship which protected the consumer and the maker of the product. The guild protected the workers with proper working conditions and made sure their work hours were regulated with monitoring.

The Guild is an important subject considering there still isn't labor laws in some countries, myself as a worker, would probably not feel safe working where there is no safety standards in a company.

The Magna Carta, signed by King John of England, has been subject to a great deal of historical exaggeration. However, as a symbol of the sovereignty of the rule of law, it was of fundamental importance to the constitutional development of England. Four original copies of the Magna Carta of 1215 exist today: one in Lincoln Cathedral, one in Salisbury Cathedral, and two in the British Museum.

This law forced the kings to follow the same rules as the rest of the subjects, which is a huge step regarding the equality of the people.

English was a popular language next to French. As it was taught in elementary schools people started to use English more. Textbooks, literature, and daily use of reading were translated to English. By then almost everyone knew the language and even some people weren't learning french.

English being dominate over french is important to me because I speak English and I want people to understand me if I go somewhere foreign so I really appreciate that my language is popular.

Greek/Persian Wars, a series of wars fought by Greek states and Persia over a period of almost half a century. The fighting was most intense during two invasions that Persia launched against mainland Greece between 490 and 479. The Greek triumph ensured the survival of Greek culture and political structures long after the demise of the Persian empire. The league had mixed success, and in 449 BC the Peace of Callias finally ended the hostilities between Athens and its allies and Persia.

The Greek/Persian wax is an important time in period showing how two colonies can hate each other and go into war but end up still living next to each other and adapting to the ways of the other colony.

The assassination of Julius Caesar was the result of a conspiracy by many Roman senators that he wanted to be dictator. Led by Romans, they stabbed Julius Caesar to death in the Theatre of Pompey in March, 44 BC. Caesar was the dictator of the Roman Republic at the time, having recently been declared dictator perpetuo by the Senate. This declaration made several senators fear that Caesar wanted to overthrow the Senate in favor of tyranny. The conspirators were unable to restore the Roman Republic. Which the assassination led to the Liberators' civil war and, ultimately, to the Principate period of the Roman Empire.

I think this is important because now day conspires mess with a lot of peoples minds especially during political outgoings like debates and disagreements.

Charlemange's role as a zealous defender of Christianity, he gave money and land to the Christian church and protected the popes. As a way to acknowledge Charlemagne’s power and strength, his relationship with the church, Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne emperor of the Romans in December, 800 AD, at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. As emperor, Charlemagne proved to be a talented diplomat and able administrator of the vast area he controlled. He promoted education and encouraged the Carolingian Renaissance, and instituted economic and religious reforms.

In now days the Pope is still strongly respected and I think this is important in out history because if you are a saint and follow the rules you should be reigned as emperor from the honorable Pope.

The Crusades were a series of religious wars between Christians and Muslims started primarily to secure control of holy sites considered sacred by both groups. In all, eight major Crusade expeditions occurred between 1096 and 1291. The first Crusade consisted of the Crusaders and their Byzantine allies attacking Nicaea, now Turkey, the Seljuk capital in Anatolia. The city surrendered in late June.

This is an important thing to know about in our history because religions are often fought about or against, which in america is your rights to choose whatever religion you want, but other countries are bound to repeat the past if they don't leave each other alone about their religion.
