IH Homework

Hi everyone,

Here is an IH homework which I am doing! The topic for this is: The timeline of Singapore during the pre-1819 to 1824 when the British set up a settlement here

The timeline:

13th century- At that time, Singapore was formally known as Temasek, and at that point of time Sung Nila Utama spotted the island & named it Singapura

14-15th century-At that time, Chinese traders came to Singapura & there was also some Chinese living on the island at that point of time

the end of the 14th century-a Malay chief Parameswara from Palembang in Sumatra murdered the local ruler & made himself the new ruler of Singapura

1511-Melaka was captured by the Portuguese and they burnt down a Malay outpost at the mouth of present-day Singapore River

Ever since then, Singapore became a much quieter place and reduced its significance of trae in the world
