Your majesty, the king James VI and I of the British empire I’ve got marvelous news! I have found an amazing piece of land, and I am proposing on creating a new city to add onto our vast empire. I have considered all the advantages, and disadvantages very carefully, and I believe it is a great opportunity. It seems that the advantages are dominant over the disadvantages. This piece of land, which shall be called Europeia, after the Greek lover of Zeus, Europa, it is located on the arms of the Mediterranean, and is not that far away from the Black sea. Europeia has an easy water route to Asia, and Africa, which is fantastic for trades. There is also a water route to Britain from the Mediterranean arm, to the Bay of Biscay then to the British
In the text "The American Journey" they explained the social, economic, and political elements and how they gave advantages or disadvantages to certain kingdoms. For example in 1492, the Native Americans had a well established society they had upwards of 70 million people which was almost equal to Europe. But this was all going to change when Columbus shows up that same year. After the discovery of the western hemisphere Columbus reported his findings to the Spanish kingdom. This resulted in another reconquista, but this time against the native people of America. In 1519, the war on the Indians began with Spain and this would later result in the loss of many of the native American tribes.
During the period of 1492 to 1750, Europe experienced drastic changes during their Age of Discovery. As a result of contact and colonization, Western Europe’s economy, political, social, and military systems changed, but also maintained certain aspects that enabled them to build strong civilizations. Such changes include increased (international) trade routes, more centralized governments such as monarchies, decreased unifying influence of the Catholic Church, and increased interest in military conquest and expansion.
Greece is also known as Hellenic Republic, the first country in Europe to advance civilization, Greece is one of the most visited country in Europe locate in southern Europe near Albania, Turkey, Bulgaria, and Rep. Macedonia.
The development of Europe and Western Culture are highlighted by five key dates. The main four key dates and there are as follows:
Greece is located on the Southern part of Europe. Also, on the eastern edge of the Mediterranean Sea. Greece dominates the Sea and the southern route to the Turkish Strait because of its location west of the Aegean Sea. Greece is mostly surrounded
Greece, officially the Hellenic Republic, historically also known as Hellas, is a country in southeastern Europe, with a population of approximately 11 million as of 2015. Athens is the nation's capital and largest city, followed by Thessaloniki. Greece is strategically located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Situated on the southern tip of the Balkan peninsula, it shares land borders with Albania to the northwest, the Republic of Macedonia and Bulgaria to the north, and Turkey to the northeast. Greece consists of nine geographic regions: Macedonia, Central Greece, the Peloponnese, Thessaly, Epirus, the Aegean Islands, Thrace, Crete, and the Ionian Islands. The Aegean Sea lies to the east of the mainland, the Ionian Sea
The term empire has both positive and negative meanings towards it. Some positives of empire are its tolerance of diversity and culture, size, opportunity, and the fact that people who held a variety of beliefs, customs, and spoke different languages were recognized and embraced. On the other hand, the negative aspects of empire are the distant leaders it had, slavery, and the fact that some culture and diversity were not accepted. Anthony Pagden elaborates on the positives and negatives of European empires, along with illustrating European empires civilization and greatness in his book, Peoples and Empires (2001). Peoples and Empires defines European empire from Greece to the present.
The motives of the europeans were very selfish. The Europeans did not have a care in the world about who was living in north america. It all started with the spanish and their evil ways. As stated in the textbook, Out of Many: A History of the American People, “The Spanish created a caste system, in which a small minority of settlers and their offspring controlled lives and labor of millions of Indian and African workers” (Faragher p. 33-34). This quote completely proves my point. The spanish just came in giving orders, and acted as if they have been living in our land their whole lives. To me I feel as though the spanish are such ignorant people for doing this, because they think that they rule the world, but in reality they mean nothing
Western European people had endured a series of changes during the late medieval period. Changes can be categorized into two aspects: politically and socially. On politics, Popes were not as strong as they were due to conflicts between the state and the church. Socially, people began to live a religion- dominated life, and experienced active sexism towards women. These changes, either positive or negative, have become an undivided part of European History.

Structural unemployment may occur in the short term with the removal of trade barriers. This will have impact on large numbers of workers, as well as their families and local economies. In growth industries workers often will have difficulties to find employment.
Britain decided to leave the European Union for economic reasons in what the world has called, “Brexit”; the British Exit. The Prime Minister and many of his supporters believed that the EU was impeding on British sovereignty as well as British interests, such as trade, economic spending, and immigration. This is relevant to Americans because with the recent election, many are comparing Donald Trump’s election to be president to Britain leaving the European Union. It is said that some of Trump’s supporters believed that there needed to be a change. Those people believed that the past governments were also impeding on American sovereignty, along with American trade, economic spending and immigration. So the American “brexit” is seen as the people electing Donald Trump. But the Brexit has had many effects that are not encouraging. It has reduced global economic growth already in the short term, which could extend to the long term and effect global markets more than it has already.
in the UK due to recent lay offs of workers, it is obvious that there
People have created unions many times but not all of them were successful, specifically when we consider alliances among number of countries with different economics, political systems and culture. For instance, last century brought both the biggest collapse and the most promising union in the modern history. Although U.S.S.R has disappeared from geographical maps, some of its members joined another alliance. The European Union (EU) is an economic and political partnership that united 28 countries on the European part of Eurasia and represents a unique form of cooperation among members today.
