It seems natural to open an umbrella when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented for against rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun. Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. The first people to use it were probably the Chinese in the eleventh B.C. The umbrella spread to ancient Egypt and Babylon. At that time it was a of honor and authority, the umbrella was only for or by those in high offices. It is believed that the first people to use the umbrella as protection against rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages, 1100-1500 in Europe, the use of the umbrella disappeared completely. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. By 1680, the umbrella was used in France and later in England. By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain in most of Europe and started to become popular worldwide. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time; however, it wasn't until the twentieth century that umbrellas began to be made in a of colors.
