How we explain it

Children can open this short lesson before they practice.

  1. Put events in order by their years: smaller years came first.
  2. Anchor dates help: Norman conquest 1066, Luther’s 95 Theses 1517, Haiti’s independence 1804, Berlin Conference 1884.
  3. If you don’t know a year, think about what came before it, such as empires before revolutions.

Example: Which happened first: Haiti declares independence or the Norman conquest of England? The Norman conquest was in 1066. Haiti declared independence in 1804. 1066 is earlier. Answer: the Norman conquest of England
