This timeline includes a summary of the headline information from 1947-1964, covering the decade of Conservative government. As a summarised timeline, it clearly outlines the major headlines of the 1950s. It is colour-coded into: Political, Labour Party, Economy, Social, Foreign, Scandal, Acts. In A-level British History, it is essential to have a comprehensive knowledge of key events, statistics, and people throughout each decade of study. I found this timeline very useful for briefly recapping the headline events of the 1950s before going into my A-level exam.
