Revision + Exam Help
#4
Well this is GCSE's, and I am currently 16 years old.
I am doing History and I needed to revise the date's for the special events that things happened.
By the way is the thing about reading allows the person to remember 10% of something? Cause I seem to remember everything I read.
Anyway


c. 3000BC – 1000BC - Egyptians
c. 800BC – 100BC - Greeks
c. 100BC – 450AD - Romans
C.410 – Romans leave Britain, public health collapses
1348 – Black Death
1543 – Vesalius ‘Fabric of the Human Body’
1575 – Pare’s ‘Works on Surgery’
1628 – Harvey’s work on the circulation of the blood
1714 – death of Queen Anne, last monarch to claim to cure the King’s Evil
1796 – Jenner’s vaccination against smallpox
1842 – Chadwick’s report
1847 – Simpson – discovery of chloroform
1848 – Public Health Act
1875 – Public Health Act
1861 – germ theory
1867 – Lister publishes success of work with antiseptics
1878 – Koch identifies the anthrax germ
1895 – Röntgen – X-rays
1901 – Landsteiner identifies blood groups
1911 – National Insurance Act
1914-18 – First World War
1928 – Fleming (re)discovers penicillin
1942 - $80 million funding for penicillin from US government
1948 – start of NHS
1953 – description of DNA structure (Crick and Watson)
1967 – first heart transplant

Just the dates of key factors and events that I have been trying to remember, because sometimes in history papers they write stuff like "what happened during the 1300s-1700s which effected people's views on public health?"
I would explain these, but I got the exam tomorrow so I am busy running through the dates and trying to remember everything important. The most annoying this is the name of Harvey's book lol. Only people who do history will get that.
