World History Periodization

     Too help make the study of World History easier this course has been broken into six time periods.

    The six historical periods, from approximately 8000 B.C.E. to the present, provide a temporal framework for the course.  The dates for these periods were chosen due to their relation to the historical patterns that have occurred in each of the designated periods.  The chart below identifies the name of each period and when it took place.
