The Modern World

1600 TO THE 21ST CENTURY

Even though most of the History of the United States timeline packet focuses on events from 1600 to the present, some of you asked for a modern world timeline.  NOW IT'S HERE!

This is the most extensive of all the packets, it references more than 800 topics (check out the index), but it can still be used with children of all ages. Like our other materials, this packet may be used as the basis of your history curriculum or combined with other materials. As always, students will love learning and reciting the multi-sensory History in Action.

The world as it was in the 1600s does not seem modern to us today, but the things that happened then set the
stage for great changes that would produce our modern world. The world as we know it would not exist without the agricultural revolution of the 1700s, the industrial revolution and the medical advances of the 1800's, the struggles to achieve national independence and individual liberty from the 18th to the 21st century, as well as numerous wars, some of them worldwide.

As you study the history of the world for the past 400 years, you will want to become familiar with the places where events occurred and the nations that have come into existence. Americans sometimes take for granted the freedom that was provided for us under the Constitution more than two hundred years ago. You will learn that there is no other country that has had more liberty than we have enjoyed. You will find out about people who have yearned to have similar peace and prosperity but were not able to do so because of rulers and tyrants who wanted to expand their own power and maintain personal control.

You will meet many individuals who have made a difference. Some of them were honorable, others caused much misery and destruction. The more you learn about geography, forms of government, and people who have shaped the events of history, the better you will understand our world.
