Here's the timeline(according to each religion): 70-110AD: Canonical Gospels are written 320AD: Christian church founded by Constantine the Great, Emperor of the Roman Empire which transformed it into the Holy Roman Empire 611AD: Mohammed begins receiving the Koran 622AD: Founding of Islam 650AD: Text of Koran established 1095-1270AD: Christian Crusades to Holy Land 1453AD: Ottomans conquer Christian Constantinople, rename it Istanbul 1815-1900AD: Christian colonization of No Africa & Middle East 1918: Ottoman Empire divided among European powers 1919-1984: Liberation of countries from colonial rule 1948: Arab-Israel War uwacadweb.uwyo.edu
