20. Why are Timelines Important?
Why should we study them?
We need to know that history has an order.
History is organized chronologically.
Once you understand and know about events
chronologically – We can begin to
explain/ examine historical relationships.   
Knowing about TIMELINES, we can begin to look at/answer these questions:
Which King or Queen came before who?
Which battle was when?
Were the Greeks more ancient than the Egyptians?
Could King Henry VIII have met Florence Nightingale?
