One way to find out is to develop a time line of events.

Page 4: from the Roman Empire to the European Union Is there a connection between the Roman Empire and the decision in the 20 th Century for most European countries.

How to develop a time line

• Draw a line (horizontal or vertical along the page on your book.

• Space events evenly. (if there is 200 years between one event and another then 500 years until the next event, the spaces should represent that difference.

1300 1500 1600 20002010

Page 5: from the Roman Empire to the European Union Is there a connection between the Roman Empire and the decision in the 20 th Century for most European countries.

Who were the Ottoman’s• They were from Turkey• They decided that many of the smaller less

organised countries such as Romania, Hungary, Egypt, Iran and many others were easy pickings. They did not bring as many changes to the rest of Europe as the Roman’s did. They were however very cruel rulers and to this day the descendant’s of those invaded people are still weary of the Turkish

• nation.

But how long will this freedom last what can they do to make sure that this is the last time they are invaded and controlled by larger nations. War is destructive not just to the environment but also to the economy and community life of the people affected.
