The overall stellar metallicity scale as a function of age for both Magellanic Clouds reveals that they have followed a different pattern of enrichment when compared to each other as well as to the Galactic disk. In addition, an investigation into the abundances of two key elements, oxygen and europium, shows that the detailed nucleosynthesis history of these systems is unique in comparison to any Galactic population yet studied.
