Timeline of Major Events & Trends, by Peter von Stackelberg. From +Datavisualization ch, also here. License to be confirmed

Futurist Peter von Stackelberg designed a complex timeline of social, technological, economic and political events and trends from 1750 to 2100 (small version above). Each time series shows graphs, events and categories on a common scale. He says about it: "The purpose of the timeline is to provide a visual tool for looking at events across a relatively long period of time and identify patterns and interrelationships involving a broad range of factors. Identification of patterns is particularly important when attempting to look at the future of complex social, technological, economic, and other systems."
