However, the file is formatted such that if you print choosing to “flip on the long edge,” the pages will be oriented correctly.įeel free to choose the version below which best suits your needs. The pages themselves are mainly the same except the cover and the “Before 1600” page. Therefore, I created a vertical “portrait” version as well. However, since not everyone has a binding machine, I figured most people will probably just put the pages in a 3 ring binder. What I really love about this format is that it gives you a 2-page spread that lets you view more of the timeline at once. Therefore, I initially created a landscape version of this timeline. Since I own and LOVE my binding machine ( read my review here), I opted to bind mine along the short edge of the paper. I also decided to create two different version of the timeline. To cover those events which happened before 1600, I created a page without dates for “Before 1600.” Note that if you choose to use my list of important events in American History, they are color-coded to match the timeline. Since there is a lot of American history to document, I opted to only cover 10 years per page. Since there is not a lot of American history that is documented before European colonization, I decided to start my timeline at 1600. “Important events” is basically a catch-all for everything else. “Achievements” covers advancements and other successes of the human race. “Judicial system” events covers judicial decisions and other events having to do with the Supreme Court. “Economics” covers events like the Great Depression or the creation of the minimum wage. “Politics” covers things like presidential elections and acts of Congress. As someone whose American history knowledge is a little weak, I decided to compile a list of American history events before I decided on my categories.Īfter going through various history references to create my list of the most significant events in American history, I decided on 6 categories: politics, economics, judicial system, conflicts, achievements, and other important events.
The reader that requested the American history timeline suggested rather than geographical region, I make divisions for type of events. When I created the world history timeline all those years ago, I decided to break it up by world region. A blank United States history timeline sounded like a fantastic idea. It is still one of my favorite educational resources that I’ve ever put together. A LONG time ago, I created a blank work history timeline. The reason why I created that list was because a reader asked if I could create a blank American history timeline. A few weeks ago, I posted a list of over 200 of the most important events in American History.
