NOTE: This is a work in progress. It only includes events through August 1775.
The United States of America has a short but world-famous history. As countries go, the USA is young (about 400 years old compared to England at about 1500 years). But we've had lots happen in that time. Here is a timeline highlighting some important events beginning with Columbus landing in what became North America. It continues through the end of the American Revolution. Click on an event to see a very brief explanation. Most events have links to other pages with more information (click on the title when the event bubble pops up). Notice that beginning about 1774, the top band of the timeline spreads out more to allow more room for all the events that occur.

Here are some important dates/periods. Click on the date and wait a second or two for the timeline to redraw.
