Bronze Age is a time when people used bronze, a metal made from copper and tin. It began around 3300 BCE in some regions. Bronze was used to make tools, weapons, and decorative objects.

Important civilizations such as Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt developed during this period. Cities grew larger, and trade networks expanded across regions. Writing systems like cuneiform and hieroglyphs were also developed during this time.

Bronze Age artifacts have been found in Europe, Asia, and Africa. This period ended when iron became more widely used for tools and weapons.
