Does anyone know how I can find out the history of a country during a specific year?

Asked by bellusfemina (821points) March 24th, 2010

I need to know how I can find out what was going on in the country of Turkey during or around the year of 437 A.D. Maybe if you know of a site that has some sort of timeline, it would be helpful.

One trick is to know that Turkey didn’t exist in 437 A.D. Try looking up a book (or web site) on the history of Byzantium, the Byzantine Empire, and the late Roman Empire.

Well thanks Zaku for putting me in my place. History was never my favorite subject.

@Zaku gave you a pretty good clue as to how to find the information you seek. Why so snarky?

I just meant to answer, not to put anyone in their place or be snarky.

And it was a good answer.

@Zaku I hope you didn’t think I was saying you were being snarky; I was saying that to the OP who seems to have done a bunk.

@janbb I wasn’t sure. No worries. It’s easy to misapprehend the tone of text. Thanks.
