History
During the 1800s Britain became the 'Workshop of the World'. It was a time of Industrial Revolution.

The years after 1750 were a time of great achievement:
• Agriculture. Turnip Townshend introduced the Norfolk four-course rotation and Robert Bakewell used selective breeding to develop the New Leicester sheep.
• Industry. Richard Arkwright's Mill at Cromford heralded 'the Factory Age' of the textile industry, production of iron increased 30-fold, and production of coal increased 20-fold.
• Transport and communications. Thomas Telford built roads and canals in the 1700s, and George Stephenson and Isambard Kingdom Brunel oversaw the 'Railway Mania' of the 1800s.
At the same time there occurred a long list of scientific discoveries and technological inventions that changed society and industry.
The economic developments of the 1800s did not just change the economy – they changed the nature of life, not just in Britain, but all over the world.
The 1800s was a time of 'Industrial Revolution'.
The main changes were:
• By 1914 England had become a great trading nation with a worldwide empire, which covered a fifth of the globe.
• A 260 per cent growth in population.
• A change from agriculture to industry.
• A move from domestic industry to factory work.
• A move from water and wind power to steam engines.
• A revolution in transport and communications, from canals and pack horses, to railways and the telegraph.
• The growth of towns:
• In 1750, only about 15 per cent of the population lived in towns. By 1900 it was 85 per cent.
By 1900, London had 4.5 million inhabitants, and the biggest other towns were Glasgow: 760,000 and Liverpool: 685,000. Manchester and Birmingham had more than half a million people each. Much of the population had moved from the south-east to the industrialised coalfield areas in the north and the Midlands.

Next, we have another struggle for power, but this time in the papacy. It was known as 1-..........................of 1378, when two popes both claimed authority over the Catholic Church. Again, this caused a bit of a problem. Because of this, we need to include the Council of Constance, lasting through the years 1414-1418, which ends the aforementioned Great Schism.

Mid-Late 1400s
On more of an up note, we can also include the invention of 2-.........................by Johann Gutenberg in 1448. This invention forever changed world communication.

On a down note, while Gutenberg is printing, people are still fighting as Constantinople falls to the Turks in the year 1453, thus ending 3-.........,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
To take a break from all the fighting, we have another high point as Columbus sails in 1492. Here, I feel we should just take a moment and honor elementary school teachers all over the land by simply saying, 'Columbus sailed the ocean blue in Fourteen Hundred and Ninety Two!'

Early-Mid 1500s
As Mikelangelo was painting, others were writing. We have Martin Luther nailing his 4-..............................to the doors at Wittenberg in the year 1517. This work not only changed the religious landscape of much of Northern Europe but also caused some real trouble for its author,

In 1545, we have 5-............................a series of three meetings held by the Catholic Church in order to answer the charges of the Reformation and to dogmatically solidify its beliefs. To this day, it's considered one of the most important councils of Catholic history.

Late 1500s - Early 1600s
In 1555, with the Holy Roman Empire continuing to weaken, the Peace of Augsburg was enacted, giving the princes of Germany the right to practice Catholicism or Lutheranism as they each saw fit.

Adding to the religious and political upheaval on the continent was 6-.............................., beginning in 1568, in which the Dutch territories fought for their freedom.

Just when things seemed like they couldn't get more upside down and sideways on the continent of Europe, along comes 7-...................... of 1618 - one of the most damaging conflicts in European history, in which most of Central Europe became engulfed in a battle that began as Catholic versus Protestant but soon degraded into a race for European preeminence.

And this brings us to our last timeline entry, 8-......................... a series of several treaties finally ratified in 1648, bringing an end to both the Eighty and Thirty Years' Wars of Europe.

the Great Schism
the printing press
95 Theses
the Thirty Years' War
the Eighty Years' War,
the Council of Trent
the War of the Roses,
the Byzantine Empire
the invasion of the Spanish Armada
The Peace of Westphalia
