This document is an attempt to bring various published sources together to present a timeline about World History. This is a VERY rough timeline of the events of world history. The main source is a "today in history" that I have had since the 1980s, with updates through the 1990s. I offer chronologies on topics like personal computers, gambling, space exploration, and extreme weather. Some topics are covered in too much detail, many others not enough. I am currently doing some proper research and adding detail.

References are numbered in [brackets], which are listed here. A number after the dot gives the page in the source.
