The Fall Of Rome
There is no specific date for the actual day Rome fell.

were trying to destory the empire, and the rulers were too young not strong enough to sustain this empire. I picked this event because I believe Rome was one of the greatest empires in history. It was so great but like all good things, it had come to an end. -

Prince Siddhartha founds Buddhism
When Prince Siddhartha escaped from his palace, he saw things that will change his life and others forever. He saw a dead man, a poor man, a mother giving birth, and a sick man. This made him realize how cruel and sad the world truly is. He left to meditate in the forest and stayed there to reach enlightenment. When he reached the stage of enlightenment, he was known as the Buddha. Today there are about 376 million Buddhists in the world. -

European Renaissance
The Renasissance began during the 15th and ended during the 17th Century. It was a time of changes and a "revival" of learning. The Catholic Church was changing because of all the rebelious leaders like John Calvin and Martin Luther and art was something new and unlike anything before. The European Renasisance was a time for changes in everyday life. I picked this event because I thought the Renaissance was something Europe desperately needed. The picture I chose was a painting from then. -

Gutenberg printed the first book, the Gutenberg Bible. This was a major accomplishment and would change writing forever. I thought this invention was imoprtant because it was a start of something new. It was amazing, and without it, we wouldn't have many things we have today. -
