Arguably the most important on the timeline, as this 'kicks off' the rest of the events. Began in Britain, and forcibly kept inside the borders to give Britain an advantage over other countries. Without this event, most of the other events on the timeline would probably never happen.

While the first successful steam engine was built in 1712, it was slower than would be optimal. A more well known inventor named James Watt, however, optimized the design for the engine. Watt's version of the steam engine was so successful that by 1800, around 500 of his engines were at work throughout Britain, in factories and mines.

The Sepoy were Indian soldiers who fought in the British army, at the time of British occupation of India. The Sepoy rebelled because a new rifle required the Sepoy to go against their religion in a few ways. To insert a cartrige into the rifle, a piece had to be bit off the end, and the cartrige was greased with pork and beef fat. That forced them to go against their religion because most Sepoy were either Muslum, who can't eat pork, or Hindu, who can't eat beef.
