1
00:00:02,350 --> 00:00:09,070
We are going to learn about history. We are going to learn then about how people lived in the past

2
00:00:09,070 --> 00:00:18,649
and about some important events and people in history. But what is history? History is everything

3
00:00:18,649 --> 00:00:25,390
that happened in the past. It is very important because we can learn from the past. We can

4
00:00:25,390 --> 00:00:31,949
understand why things happen in our world and use this information to make our lives better.

5
00:00:46,659 --> 00:00:55,659
We can divide history into five main periods, prehistory and then history.

6
00:00:55,659 --> 00:01:03,659
In history, we can divide the periods into the ancient history, the Middle Ages,

7
00:01:03,659 --> 00:01:24,030
the early modern age, the modern age and the period in which we live now, the contemporary age.

8
00:01:24,030 --> 00:01:30,030
To order the most important events in a person's life, we use a timeline.

9
00:01:30,030 --> 00:01:35,030
In this example, today is year 2020.

10
00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:45,030
In year 1992, Teacher Maria was born, and in year 1968, Teacher Charo was 4 years old.

11
00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:52,030
So, Teacher Charo was 4 years old 50 years ago,

12
00:01:52,030 --> 00:01:58,030
And Teacher Maria was born 27 years ago.

13
00:01:58,030 --> 00:02:01,030
And now, when were you born?

14
00:02:01,030 --> 00:02:09,780
But in the history of the world there are many years.

15
00:02:09,780 --> 00:02:13,780
Imagine if you had to write all of them in a timeline.

16
00:02:13,780 --> 00:02:22,780
That's why we put together a hundred years and we made up a century.

17
00:02:22,780 --> 00:02:31,539
Let's go on a trip to the past.

18
00:02:31,539 --> 00:03:08,349
Prehistory started when the first humans appeared.

19
00:03:08,349 --> 00:03:12,349
Ancient history started when people invented writing.

20
00:03:12,349 --> 00:03:29,639
Some civilizations appeared, such as Romans, Greeks, or Egyptians.

21
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:46,000
The Middle Ages started in 476 A.D.

22
00:03:46,000 --> 00:04:07,229
Here we can see Johannes Gutenberg with the first printing press in the early years of the modern age.

23
00:04:07,229 --> 00:04:15,229
And it was also in the modern age when Cristóbal Colón discovered America.

24
00:04:15,229 --> 00:04:28,949
There were important changes in the 19th century.

25
00:04:28,949 --> 00:04:47,930
One of the most important was the invention of the steam engine and the steam trains.

26
00:04:47,930 --> 00:04:59,269
And this is our last stop in the trip through the past, we are in year 1969, in the Contemporary Age, in the 20th century.

27
00:05:00,269 --> 00:05:10,029
Here we are with the American astronaut Neil Armstrong who landed on the Moon for the first time.
