We've been learning about history and its events that changed and shaped our modern world, but rarely have I contextualized this information with a geographic map marking these events. This is where you come in!

You are going to make 10 pins demarking an event in history, preferably one we've learned this year, by its geographic location. You have an entire year and an entire world to choose from so I don't want to hear about this being difficult! 

At each pin I expect to see: 
The named geographic location and the event in context. Follow up that with a brief description of this historical event. I do NOT require a source for these pins but that also means I will grade more harshly for wrong placements or wrong information. Being that this is an end-of-the-year project, grammar, spelling, and any other basic errors WILL be graded. I also expect to see professional, clear writing. This means complete sentences.

I will be placing 5 pins throughout this map as an example of how yours should look. You may not choose these events but you may choose the same locations (being that history tends to overlap geographically speaking). ]]> 2022-10-26 01:05:22 UTC https://padlet.com/educvasc8917/f7obuikpb96hru84/wish/2356385325 educvasc8917 https://padlet.com/educvasc8917/f7obuikpb96hru84/wish/2356392076 This thin neck of land between the two inlet seas marks the Antonine Wall--the further north the Romans ever managed to conquer on the British Isle. Though it is a feat in itself, it was only manned for roughly 2-3 decades before falling back south to Hadrian's Wall after repeated harassments from northern Caledonian raiders. ]]> 2022-10-26 01:10:18 UTC https://padlet.com/educvasc8917/f7obuikpb96hru84/wish/2356392076 educvasc8917 https://padlet.com/educvasc8917/f7obuikpb96hru84/wish/2356399334 Although we don't know for sure the exact location of this ancient city, modern historians and archaelogists have placed the city (founded after Alexander's final victory before his soldiers mutinied to return home) just south of the modern city of Jhelum.]]> 2022-10-26 01:16:04 UTC https://padlet.com/educvasc8917/f7obuikpb96hru84/wish/2356399334 educvasc8917 https://padlet.com/educvasc8917/f7obuikpb96hru84/wish/2356406356 This location marks the three pyramids of Giza (the name of the ancient city now incorporated and surrounded by the larger city of Cairo), the oldest of which being built roughly around 2570 BCE and marking the oldest known structures making up the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. ]]> 2022-10-26 01:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/educvasc8917/f7obuikpb96hru84/wish/2356406356 educvasc8917 https://padlet.com/educvasc8917/f7obuikpb96hru84/wish/2356412866 This marker designates the aiming point settled by the US military for their test drop of the first ever use of an atomic bomb in warfare. Hiroshima was chosen for two reasons: It was a city with many factories important for the Japanese war effort, and it was a compact city which made it a perfect candidate for how the bomb's devastation would play out. ]]> 2022-10-26 01:25:51 UTC https://padlet.com/educvasc8917/f7obuikpb96hru84/wish/2356412866 educvasc8917 https://padlet.com/educvasc8917/f7obuikpb96hru84/wish/2356426836 December 5th, 1956, Nelson Mandela (as well as 155 others mostly consisting of the African National Congress), leader of the African National Congress and Commander-in-Chief of the national army was arrested by the South African Apartheid government and subsequently put on trial for treason.
