WORLD HISTORY TIMELINE 日本語
World ChronicleA world history timeline linked to famous birthdays — Japan and the world, from prehistory to 2026
What this timeline shows
World Chronicle is the history companion to Whose Birthday Today?. It shows key events from prehistory to today, with Asia, including Japan, side by side with the rest of the world, and every event is colored by region. There are pages for each era, decade and year.
It is built around birthdays: each date links to the famous people born on that day, each year page lists famous people born that year, and every birthday page links back to the year each event happened. Labels show where a period fits in AP World History and AP U.S. History.
