History - Notable Periods of History

This deck contains notable periods throughout history.

Data gathered from wikidata by doing the following:

• Take all items that have start and end dates (with start dates before the year 2000)
• Sort them by amount of sitelinks (as a proxy for "notable")
• Manually filter through them for historically relevant events (skipping things like sport events and TV shows)

Later edit: for those interested, here is the wikidata query that was used. Note that this also generates a lot of garbage, with entries like "20th century", TV shows and sporting events wikidata query
