The genius was born
Albert Einstein is born on March 14th 1879. He was born in Ulm Germany to Pauline and Hermann Enistein. This is significant because thanks to Einstein's existence, humans understand the world now in a whole new perspective, and also know lots of the answers to the mysteries of the world thanks to Albert Einstein.

Thomas Edison's breakthrough
The lightbulb is invented in 1879 and it was a very big advancement at that time. This is significant because back in those days they had to use candles and carry it around the house with them. Now that lightbulbs are here, there is no need to carry candles around and it is way more convenient, and it made people see science in a whole new approachable way. (wattereau 183) -
Statue Of Liberty
Lady Liberty is presented to America from France by the French sculptor Bartholdi. It is a very beautiful copper statue that meant a lot to the Americans when they received it as a gift of friendship. It now symbolizes freedom and democracy. This is significant because it showed America in a way that France is an allie through this token of friendship. (wattereau 36) -
Graduation
Albert Einstein graduats highschool in with lots of knowledge on math and science. Although he was a very smart man, he apparently had slacked off during his school years, but he eventually managed to pull it together. This is significant because thanks to his highschool years, Einstein had learned all that he knows about the subjects he loved, and loved making ground breaking theories on. (softschools 1) -
Submits papers
In 1905, Albert Einstein had submitted one of the first of many papers on thermodynamics at age 26. His paper included ideas on electrodynamics in moving bodies, light, molecular dimensions, and a brief introduction e=mc^2. This is significant because back in his time no one new much on physics but his papers helped give people a better understanding of what the world is like. Also, he helped other scientists further their studies thanks to Einstein's unique discoveries. (NOVA 1) -
Theory of Gravity
In 1913 Albert Einstein advanced in his searching and discovering on the laws of gravity. He continues his observations by testing the gravity he was testing with solar eclipses. This is significant because Gravity is very important to our everyday lives. Also learning more about gravity and broadcasting it will make to understand how our world works and functions, because almost everything we do involves gravity. (Softschools 1) -
World War l
1914 was when the first world war began. It was caused by disagreement on how other countries should run their countries and alliances. This is significant because it changed the way nations negotiated and viewed eachother forever. Also it changed the US foreign policy, so instead of them minding their own business, they now try to get involved as much as they can to prevent incidents like these again. (Wattereau 452) -
Theory of Relativity
In 1915 Einstein had finally completed and composed his theory on relativity. His theory describes space time, gravity, speed of light, and etc. Also how all these are linked to shared idea of the laws of physics being always the same. This is significant because it states that everything in our world is relative, whether it's space, light mass, or gravity, they all relate somehow through the laws of physics. That mind set in science is something scientists use now. (St. James 1) -
Women get the right
In 1919 women in America finally got the right to vote. It was mainly due to Susan B. Anthony's and Elizabeth Cady Stanton's continuous fight for the woman rights, but it was also thanks to all the supporters they had as well. This is significant because it marked a day where women were becoming one step closer to misogyny free world. Without thesewomen would have no say in who controls their nation.

E=mc^2.
In 1919 Albert Einstein completely finished his ground breaking theory on the mass energy equivalence, E = mc^2. This equation basically means that energy is equal to mass multiplied by the speed of light squared, and that energy and matter are the same criteria. This is significant because many modern things are based off this theory. Such things are nuclear power and mechanics, PET scans, and the atomi bomb. This theory was also one of einsteins most famous ones as well. (Fernflores 1) -
The Nobel Peace Prize
In 1921 Albert Einstein was awarded this prize for his amazing discoveries in physics. Such discoveries was his discovery in relativity, energy, space, light, and etc. This is significant because this was a very big time in Einsteins life. This was so big for him because he was given the recognition that he deserved for all of his big disciveries that literally change the world.

The Unified Field Theory
The unified theory was formulated by Einstein in 1928. This theory stated that electromagnetic, gravitational, weak, and strong field and their interactions and how they all share a unified field, and how they can all effect the matter in the universe. This is significant because it again gave people a whole new look at their world. Also it helped scientists understand quantum mechanics more, meaning more theories relative to this could be made.

The Great Depression
In 1929 the Great Depression had took place in America. This economic state was caused by the stock market crash due to low businesses. The Great Depression caused poverty, hunger, and unemployment. This is significant because it tough America exactly how to NOT run a government. Also I gave America a lot of lessons to learn from so it could be the successful nation that it is today.

The World As I See It
"The World As I See It" by Albert Einstein was published in 1934. This book was all about his achievements and discoveries in one book. Others scientists would read this book and it really helped them understand science in a whole new way. This is significant because now that Einsteins ideas and thoughts were all put into one book, everyone has all access to his perspective of the world. This book probably made Einstein very famous around the world and to other scientists.

World War ll
In 1938 world war ll took place. During this time Adolf Hitler was in rule and everything was on the verge of an anarchy. It all started when the minister of Britain declared war on Germany, and when Germany randomly attacked Poland out of no where. This is significant because it was time where lots of big event occurred, such as the holocaust. Also during world war lol it was a crucial time for lots of countries to be strong and fight for their liberty.

Death of Einstein
Albert Einstein had sadly died in 1955. He died in Princeton New Jersey due to an aortic aneurysm. His last words were "It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share, it is time to go. I will do it elegantly." This is significant because later his brain was used to be studied in labs. With the help of his autopsy they can uncover the inner workings of a geniuses brain. (Softschools 1)
