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 Asian 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 --> 00:02:05,069
teacher Maria was born 27 years ago and now when were you born but in the

13
00:02:05,069 --> 00:02:10,189
history of the world there are many years imagine if you have to write all

14
00:02:10,189 --> 00:02:18,789
of them in a timeline that's why that's why we put together a hundred year and

15
00:02:18,789 --> 00:02:44,590
we made up a century. Let's go on a trip to the past. Prehistory started when the

16
00:02:44,590 --> 00:03:02,189
first humans appeared. Ancient history started when people invented writing.

17
00:03:02,189 --> 00:03:31,939
Some civilizations appeared such as Romans, Greeks or Egyptians. The Middle

18
00:03:31,939 --> 00:03:52,180
is started in 476 AD. Here we can see Johannes Gutenberg with the first

19
00:03:52,180 --> 00:04:00,479
printing press in the early years of the modern age. And it was also in the modern

20
00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:18,079
age when Cristóbal Colón discovered America. There were important changes in

21
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:23,060
the 19th century. One of the most important was the invention of the

22
00:04:23,060 --> 00:04:41,170
steam engine and the steam trains and this is our last stop in the trip through the past

23
00:04:42,129 --> 00:04:48,689
we are in year 1969 in the contemporary age in the 20th century

24
00:04:50,449 --> 00:05:00,050
here we are with the american astronaut neil armstrong who landed on the moon for the first time
