American Indians lived in the American continent 10,000 years ago,
Be the cultures and many peoples, peasants or fishermen by the place in which they lived.

Columbus arrived to the Bahama Islands. It was not the first man to reach America is not the first reached by Mahitalotalsa,
He arrived to the beach before Viking Canada at least.

But he was the first to establish permanent links between America and other continents, thousands of Europeans followed him, soldiers, merchants, bishops and lay persons,
Even change the shape of the whole continent as helped diseases in triumph on the indigenous population,
It was not a Native American of any immunity against diseases and Europe numerous weapons.


In the sixteenth century did not colonize any of the European countries, North America dramatically,
But there he traveled to fishermen for fishing only and is not habitable,

However, in Florida, Vkdoss some Spaniards after the zodiac in 1513.
And some have tried to Aossoa new cities in North America, but the first was the British succeeded in establishing residence
On the shore of the current state of Virginia in 1607, and was named "Jamestown."

In South and Central America Spaniards discovered huge amounts of gold, and the news spread all over Europe.

They did not find gold, but in 1612 they found the cultivation of tobacco, a plant was originally an American Indian Americans Adkhnoha
Since centuries, but smoking has spread rapidly in Europe, and has achieved significant profits by traders. But tobacco growing need
Manpower to many, and the number of colonists few, started to import workers and then black slaves,
Like what he did Mmeltsmoa Caribbean Sea.


The land was wide and in the Virginia tobacco cultivation need to be a large area, the colonists Stay away from each other,
And one may dwell with his servants or servants miles away from his neighbor. Most of them did not care about religion,
For these reasons did not coherent society only slightly. In the second dwelling in North America, a New England was quite the opposite.

In the sixteenth century there were major problems in England between the militants and the rest of the categories,
Puritans wanted to change state law to prevent all Mikhalv religion,
It is a Catholic from the government. They were also against the king, first because it was not tough, and secondly because they were considered all believers

Adhered to the English government the right to impose taxes on the colonies in order to increase the income of the Treasury,
The most important of these taxes: tax sugar and stamp tax (stamp), because Americans believe that they were not obliged to b
Payment of any tax did not participate in the approval by the elected councils.

In 1765 the British Parliament passed the Stamp Act and the imposition of taxes
Which is required to purchase stamps colonies to be a tax on publications.

He has a painters in the colonies draw a skull and crossbones symbol of death to the right, an expression
Protest the law. These changes sparked angry reactions among the colonists who opposed it

Did not continue reconciliation between the Americans and the British have a long new laws were passed to British provoke anger and resentment
The Americans to the point that Britain sent troops to both Boston and New York, where some were killed
Citizens in what was called the Boston Massacre, which responded by protesting Americans known as the "Boston Tea Party".
Faqpt Britain rebels shut down the port of Boston and increase the authority of the British Governor and forcing colonists to

Britain and even defeated the Americans in 1781 at the Battle of Yorktown, Virginia.
Then the two parties signed the Treaty of Versailles in 1783 and was tantamount to a declaration by the end of the American Revolution.

In 1787, delegates from all occurred States

Oklahoma, Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado.

The agreement was signed on April 30, 1803 and was approved in the United States on October 20 of the same year.

When the transaction is completed Congress passed laws allowing whereby the American president to impose military rule on
Province until the establishment of a civilian government, and gave him permission to send missions to the mapping and exploration, which
Led to what became known later on a trip to the Lewis and Clark expedition.

The Americans began the westward expansion and explore new areas has contributed to the common belief among citizens
The Republic is destined to widen the west and that it is a national duty for them.

This put an end to his belief in the War of 1812, however, he returned and strengthened after the victory in the Mexican-American War in 1848.
During the process of expansion of that, the federal government's deportation and re-populate the majority of the population of American Indians.
During the expansion was a debate about whether it should be allowed Balragafi new provinces or not.








In the mid-nineteenth century, the nation was divided over states' rights and the role of the federal government
And the expansion of slavery, all of that later led to the American Civil War after the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860,
South Carolina announced its withdrawal from the Union and the independence to be the first withdrawing States.
Haktha Sabakast to other southern states and declared in 1861 formation of the Confederate States of America.

To be so formal abolition of slavery and is also eliminate any chance or the right of the States to withdraw from the Union.
Triumph has increased the power and control of the federal government.

EUROPE HISTORY:


As for Europe, a brief chronological account of its significant events begins during prehistoric times with the emergence of Homo sapiens (early man), roughly 40,000 years ago. 

Early inhabitants during the Paleolithic Age, in an effort to survive, grouped together into small societies such as bands, and subsisted by gathering plants and hunting for wild animals. early man

The practice of cultivating the soil, producing crops and raising livestock began in the Neolithic Age some 9,000 years ago; stone tools were used and people began to live in small groups, or villages. 

As man continued to journey east-to-west across Eurasia(a combination of Asia and Europe), knowledge of tools and new methods of organization arrived; civilizations flourished as metal axes and arrowheads improved survival. 

In the 8th century BC, Greece began to emerge from the Dark Ages. Classical Greek culture had a powerful influence on the Roman Empire, which carried a version of it to many parts of the Mediterranean region and Northern Europe. In short, the Greek culture provided the foundation of modern Western culture. 

Of the great civilizations to develop in Europe, the previously mentioned Roman Empire certainly had the most lasting influence. During its often tumultuous 500-year period of innovation, it changed the continent and had a profound and lasting influence on the development of modern architecture, language, law and religion. 

After its collapse, the Eastern Roman Empire survived (285-1450) as the Byzantine Empire. In Western Europe, a wide series of tribes and tribal alliances moved into positions of power in the remnants of the former Roman Empire; small kingdoms were established, and the geography of Western Europe was about to change. 

The Kingdom of the Franks was a southeastern European territory inhabited and ruled by the Franks. They would evolve into the Kingdom of France, and parts of it would morph into the Holy Roman Empire, a forerunner to the Germany we know today. 


Anglo-Saxons soon crossed (what is now) the English Channel to southern Britain and established a series of kingdoms in what would eventually develop into the Kingdom ofEngland by AD 927; 100 years later the Kingdoms of Poland and Hungary would also take shape. 

The Viking Age in Northern Europe and Scandinavia spanned the late 8th to mid-13th centuries. With little interest in land acquisition, the Scandinavian (Norse) Vikings aggressively explored Europe for trade and riches. The Vikings also reached Iceland,Greenland, Newfoundland and Anatolia (Turkey). 

The Normans (a Viking people) gave their name to Normandy, a region in northern France. Initially emerging in the first half of the 10th century, they had a significant impact on many parts of Europe, from the Norman conquest of England to southern Italy and Sicily. europe clip art

By the end of the 15th century, great powers emerged in Europe, with England, France, The Netherlands, Portugal and Spain playing predominant roles in global affairs from the 15th century onward, especially after the beginning of colonialism. 

The European colonial period, the 1500s to the mid-1900s, was the era when the European powers mentioned above established colonies in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Between the 16th and 20th centuries, European nations, at various times, controlled the Americas (north and south), most ofAfrica, Oceania and large portions of Asia. 

As people craved freedom across the globe, the European colonial era began to fall apart. Specifically the British Empire, the first genuinely global empire, began to lose its powers in Africa, India and much of the Middle East, and they soon crumbled away. 

Also damaging to the continent were World Wars I and II, as they were largely focused upon Europe. The enormous costs of both wars greatly contributed to a decline in Western European dominance in world affairs, and some Eastern European countries have not yet fully recovered. 

After the Berlin Wall came down on November 9, 1989, and after the fall of the Soviet Unionin 1991, Europe certainly changed for the better. European cultures and factions soon integrated, the Council of Europe was formed and the European Union (EU) blossomed in Western Europe. 

Today, it's safe to say that Europe is a major economical and political center of power. As for its people, they are an innovative, optimistic and resilient group who changed our world for the better more than once, and surely they will do it again. In fact, you can take that to the bank!

EUROPE POLITICAL MAP

Europe political map
Political maps are designed to show governmental boundaries of countries, states, and counties, the location of major cities, and they usually include significant bodies of water. Like the sample above, bright colors are often used to help the user find the borders. 


EUROPE MAP:

Europe is the planet's 6th largest continent AND includes 47 countries and assorted dependencies, islands and territories. Europe's recognized surface area covers about 9,938,000 sq km (3,837,083 sq mi) or 2% of the Earth's surface, and about 6.8% of its land area. 

In exacting geographic definitions, Europe is really not a continent, but part of the peninsula of Eurasia which includes all of Europe and Asia. However, it's still widely referred to as an individual continent.

The European continent, bordered by numerous bodies of water, is separated from Asia by Russia's Ural Mountains and by the Caspian and Black Seas. It is separated from Africa by the Mediterranean Sea.


EUROPE GEOGRAPHY FACTS:

For additional geography details please use the yellow navigation bar at the top of this page. Note that some stats shown below are found in European Russia, even though that landmass is geographically considered a part of Russia, an Asian country.
  • Ukraine is Europe's largest country
  • The Vatican is Europe's smallest country
  • Germany is Europe's largest country by population
  • The Vatican is Europe's smallest country by population
  • Europe's highest point is Mt. Elbrus in Russia
  • Europe's lowest point is the Caspian Sea bordering Russia

  • (If European Russian is excluded, the highest and lowest stats shown below apply to continental western Europe)
  • Europe's highest point is Mt. Blanc in France and Italy
  • Europe's lowest point is Lemmefjord in Denmark

EUROPE GEOGRAPHY NOTES:

european russia
The Russian landmass west of the Ural Mountains is commonly referred to asEuropean Russia in most educational atlases, and by the vast majority of geography experts. It is not a separate country, but rather called that because of its longterm political, cultural and geographical blending with the bordering European countries. For reference purposes it is shown above, however, the entire country (as a whole) is still considered part of the continent of Asia. 

European Russia comprising roughly 3,960,000 sq. km (1,528,560 sq. miles) and spans across approximately 40% of Europe. Its Eastern border is defined by the Ural Mountains and in the South it is defined by the border with Kazakhstan. Note that nearly 77% of the entire Russian population (about 110,000,000 people out of an approximate total Russian population of 141,000,000) lives in European Russia.
