Blank Timeline 1500-1900

For those of you who would like a simple timeline to keep track of overlapping events in different parts of the world, I've created a document and it can be located here.

It's in PDF format and if you'd like to print it back to back you'll need 5 sheets of paper in all.  I recommend a heavy paper so that you can color and write without worry about bleed-through.

Print pages 1-4, then refeed paged 2,3,4 and print pages 5-8.

To use the timeline, just color in a horizontal row which begins and ends with the corresponding dates for the duration of a lifespan or monarchy, etc. and lable the event directly on the colored segment.  For a single date, mark a symbol on the timeline and write it in the space below the chart.

You can color code the dates on your timeline by region, if you wish.
