Why Choose Our Timeline ?

  • Visual Quality : Our timeline is enriched with carefully selected visuals to authentically reflect historical events.

  • Unique Decoration : Whether for a classroom, office, bedroom, or living room, our timeline adds a touch of culture to your living space.

  • Learning : Ideal for homeschooling or classroom education, it serves as a pedagogical tool to engage students in the history of our nation.

What is Our Goal ?

Our goal : To summarize the history of the United Kingdom, by key periods, from the year 43 to 2020, in a single poster.

We had to make difficult choices to determine which events should be included while maintaining a fluid and coherent chronology.

We have nevertheless adhered to this format, which is not perfect and very constraining, but allows us to encompass the entire history of the United Kingdom at a glance.

This timeline also aims to (humbly) educate the youth, who are sometimes too ignorant of our history, about the key events in the History of the United Kingdom.

Why Chronologically ?

We are convinced that studying history chronologically allows for understanding events in their entirety, in their context, analyzing their causes and consequences, and developing a critical analysis of History.
