Bring key military milestones, battles and global turning points into your classroom timeline with this set of 20 chronological event markers, covering nearly a millennium of conflict and strategy from the Battle of Hastings to the modern era.

Designed as part of a buildable History timeline collection, each marker features a clear event title, date and colour-coded War & Conflict design. The compact format allows the markers to slot alongside existing historical timelines without overwhelming larger information cards, or they can be used independently to create a dedicated War & Conflict display.

Matching Display Headers:

  This gives you the flexibility to choose the layout that best suits your available display space.
