Historical timelines organize past events in chronological order to help understand the sequence and relationships between events, periods, or specific topics. They can be broad, like a general history of humanity, or specific, like the timeline of a particular war or the development of technology. Timelines visually represent this information, aiding comprehension and analysis of historical data.
