Reflection
This particular timeline is about the War of the Spanish Succession, which was a result of Philip V receiving the throne bestowed by Charles II.
Prior to making this timeline, my friend and I discussed on how it will look like, and this discussion of ours helped me create this effective layout. Also, since this assignment requires us to include links that will elaborate the information in the boxes, I referred to how my friends did it, and was able to do it myself by creating little blocks that indicate 'click for more information.'
The challenging part of this work is to make it 'interactive.' To accomplish this, I first played with the colors and shapes. I also had to find good and reliable sources to elaborate information from the book. The sources must also vary, in which I was able to accomplish in the end by using both pictures and videos.
The most significant thing I have learned from doing this work is the importance and effects of interracial factors. The war was sparked because a Spanish throne was given to a French. A lot of later wars and today's issues are also results from interracial factors. If not dealt with properly, a small argument can turn into a big, big fight.
If I were to do this work again, I would find a bigger variety of sources to elaborate each and every box, so that more interaction may occur. Also, without time constraints, I would read about this war from outside sources and combine and summarize them with information from the book so that the events will be more specific.
