Event(s)

1636

1636—1912: Qing Dynasty
Founded by the Manchus, an ethnic group from northeastern Asia, this was a period of relative stability and economic growth. Population increased significantly, and China became a major center of global trade. The Qing Dynasty came to an end with the abdication of the last emperor, Puyi, and the establishment of the Republic of China. The fall of the Qing marked the end of over two millennia of imperial rule in China.

She died of smallpox. He died of pneumonia after falling from a horse. They were Protestant.

1702

1702—1713: Queen Anne's War
Part of the French and Indian wars, as well as part of the larger War of Spanish Succession. Queen Anne's War was officially ended by the Treaty of Utrecht. Britain gained control of Acadia (renamed Nova Scotia), Newfoundland, and the Hudson Bay region. Spain ceded Florida to Britain.

1724

1724—1724: Drummer's War

1733

10 May 1733: The Tea Act
The Tea Act of 1773 was one of several measures imposed on the American colonists by the heavily indebted British government in the decade leading up to the American Revolutionary War (1775-83). The main purpose was to bail out the floundering East India Company, a key actor in the British economy.

1739

1739—1748: The War of Jenkin's Ear
This was a conflict that took place between Britain and Spain, and was primarily fought in the Caribbean and along the coasts of Florida and Georgia in North America. The name "Jenkins' Ear" is derived from an incident involving a British sea captain named Robert Jenkins, who claimed that his ear had been severed by Spanish coast guards in 1731. This war was about colonial possessions and trade routes.
