Build a chronological timeline. For each entry give: date (as precise as the evidence allows), what happened, who was involved, and a source. Distinguish confirmed facts from disputed or reported-but-unconfirmed events.
After the timeline, add: (1) the 3 pivotal moments that changed the trajectory, (2) any gaps where the record is unclear, and (3) conflicting accounts of the same event with each side's source. Do not fill gaps with speculation; mark them as unknown.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
