(WIP. How did your current country come to be? What were the country's previous incarnations? Was the country part of a union with a neighbour? Which events shaped the way the country is today?)
The history of Charkov begins when the believed first settlers arrived around 2500BCE. When the first permanent settlements formed around 175BCE, it set the stage for a long history with much bloodshed, but also many prosperous times.
Prehistory
Pre-Humanity (10 000 000BCE - 2500BCE)
The modern shape of the region first formed roughly 10 million years ago. Before humans arrived, the region was mostly filled with forests and mountains. Rivers slowly carved through the Earth to create the vast valleys seen today.
Settlement
Pre-Civilization (2500BCE - 175BCE)
The first inhabitants of the Charkov region arrived around 2500BCE. Very little is known about these people, apart from the fact that they were nomads who usually used stone tools, although there is evidence that a couple hundred years before the first settlements some of these tribes learnt to craft metal tools.
First civilization (175BCE - 0CE)
This time period showed the first permanent settlements form. During this time, many of the tribes slowly learnt how to forge metal tools, developed agriculture that could survive the climate, and formed small kingdoms. [WIP]
