The stellar populations in the LMC, the SMC, and the Bridge region are discussed and shown to be composed of a number of well separated generations. Asymmetries are seen in the distributions of the intermediate-age and youngest generations. The possibility is considered that all generations, apart from the oldest one, have been produced by bursts of star formation.
