Turning Points


The next skill is called Periodization. Simply explained it is putting events into certain major time periods. We often call this events "Turning Points". Turning Points are specific times in history in which there is a major shift in history. Sometimes these are also called revolutions, but sometimes they are only known by their defined characteristics.

The skill involves three specific strategies:
