Timelines are a temporal form of data visualization and, depending on the tool, allow for varying degrees of detail and complexity.

Complex Timelines

"Conflicts of the World," a more complex timeline than the one above, was created with Tableau Public, a popular tool used for creating multiple types of data visualization.
