Lanna and the World: the same year, elsewhere
A 29-row parallel timeline with Lanna on top, then its neighbours, Buddhist roots, Asia, Europe and the Americas. Drag the year line to read "This year around the world", zoom from millennia to decades, jump by era or to "Same time" moments, and filter to the powers that reached for Lanna. Every event has sources.
How to use it
Drag on the chart or use the slider to move the year line; use zoom, era and Same-time buttons to jump; toggle row groups; tap a dot for details, sources and links to our Lanna articles.
What it teaches
Lanna was never alone: what the rest of the world was doing in the same years, and which powers reached for this land.
