This video looks at the highlights of the past 500 years in each decade.

A lot can change in 500 years. There are iconic events and people who will be remembered forever for the impact they had on human history. Some of these events only lasted a moment. Others dragged on for years. But there were highlights in history that we can’t help but look back on as signaling a major change in how we live, work, think, and even view other people. Get ready to be amazed as we take a walk down memory lane at the highlights of the past 500 years.

Over the last 50 decades, some defining moments in history have pin-balled the world into taking a different course. Whether it was a flash of a second, a rising revolution, or a single person who stood up to take a stand, these flashes altered the course that society went on.

The world, 500 years ago, was a time of unprecedented change that saw the very beginning of the modern era of science, great exploration, religious and political turmoil, and unforgettable literature.

400 years ago, the emergence of newly-invented machines became part of the daily and economic lives of many people. While people studied and relied upon the more or less unproven principles of medieval alchemy, it was during this time that a transition to the science of chemistry took place.

Highlights from 300 years ago include the beginning of the first Industrial Revolution. Modern manufacturing began with steam engines replacing animal labor. Some highlights of each decade in this century also saw the widespread replacement of manual labor by new inventions and machinery.

200 years ago, the world was defined by inventions that relied on newly harnessed means of putting electricity, steel, and petroleum to use. This spurred the growth of railways and steamships and transformed everything from farming to manufacturing.

The last 100 years ago saw two world wars, a great depression, and even a moon landing. There was no shortage of conflict and excitement in the 20th century.
