BP in history means: Before Present.

Here's Wikipedia's Definition:

BP years is a time scale used in Archaeology, geology, and other scientific disciplines to specify when events in the past occurred. Because the "present" time changes, standard practice is to use CE 1950 as the arbitrary origin of the age scale. For example, 1500 BP means 1500 years before 1950, that is, in the year 450 CE.

It also stands for British Petroleum, a British energy company.
