Boston Tea Party Henry Lemendik 8b About The Boston Tea Party was an act of direct action protest by the American colonists against the British Government in which they destroyed many crates of tea belonging to the British East India Company and dumped it into the Boston Harbor. The incident, which took place on December 16, 1773, was a key event in the growth of the American Revolution and remains an iconic event of American history. Background Europeans developed a taste for tea in the 17th century. When tea became popular in the British colonies in North America, Parliament sought to eliminate foreign competition by passing an act in 1721 that required colonists to import their tea only from Great Britain and the East India Company. Because Parliament heavily taxed this tea and charged the East India company tarrifs, ...
HISTORY PRECOLONIAL AMERICA Before the first Europen settlers came, various groups of interrelated cultures lived there. Such as the Tingits, the Nootka, the Yurok and many more. Indigenous people mostly fished, because there vas a vast stock of fish. But they also relied upon agriculture, hunting and trapping. They built stable villages, and lived either in birchcovered wigwams or in rectangular longhouses. Later the indigenous people were called indians, by Christopher Columbus who thought that he had reached to India. COLONIAL AMERICA As far as people know were the Vikings first European settlers to visit America. but in 1492, an Italian sailor called Christopher Columbus reached southern America when he was looking for a sea route from Europe to India. He is called to be the man who discovered America. In 1607 two very different groups of English people came to America. a group of farmers began a...
The United States of America. History. For thousands of years America was unknown to Europe. There lived only the native people, who had come from Siberia many thousand years ago by a land bridge. They had spread over the country, varying enormously from nomadic food gatherers to fishing societies. Then the Vikings visited Canada around AD 1000, but they did not stay. In 1492 Christopher Columbus discovered America while trying to reach India. He named the native people Indians, because he though he had reached India. He didn't stay either and in the sixteenth century the first Europeans to settle in America were the Spanish, the English and the French. The first village founded by the English settlers was in Virginia in 1607. It was called Jamestown. They didn't have good relations with the Indians and many of them died. But Pocahontas, the daughter of an Indian chief, became their friend and helped them....

Sissejuhatus Tee on naturaalne, aromaatne, värskendav ja vastavalt valmistusviisile kas rahustav või ergutav jook, mida saadakse teepõõsa lehtedest. Laiemalt nimetatakse teeks ka teistest taimedest või nende segudest kuumas vees leotamise teel saadud jooke. Tee on legendaarne jook, sest see ei ole mitte ainult jook, vaid ka meelelahutus, tervisele kasulik, ning sellel on suur kultuurne aspekt. Ilma teeta oleks Ameerika Ühendriigid võib-olla ikka veel osa Ühendkuningriikidest. Nimelt otsustas Inglismaa tõsta makse teele, nign see muutus Ameerikas väga kalliks. Ameeriklased otsustasid, et meil ei ole neid Britte vaja ja korraldasid suure meeleavalduse, mille nimeks on saanud Boston tea party. Selle tulemusel ...
Hiljuti USAs aset leidnud sündmuste ülevaade Obama kirjutas alla seaduseelnõule, mis suurendab USA võlalimiiti President Obama kirjutas alla Kongressi mõlemast kojast läbi pääsenud seaduseelnõule, mis laseb valitsusel laenata rohkem raha, et maksta sotsiaalkindlustushüvitisi ja riigitöötajate palkasid. Seega on riigi rahandusministeeriumil võimalus laenata $17.2 triljoni piirini, ilma et sellega kaasneksid eelarvekärped muude valdkondade arvelt nagu Obama juhitud tervishoiureform (BBC News, 13.02.2014). Samuti kirjutas president alla eelnõule, mille raames taastatakse nooremate veteranide hüvitised varem kehtinud tasemele.

London History The Romans AD 43- AD 410 The Romans finally invaded Britain in AD 43 from Kent. The Romans lead by Julius Caesar attempted to invade Britain twice before that in 55 and 54 BC but the invasions were unsuccessful. They made their way to the river Thames and sailed up it. The Romans knew it was important to control a crossing point at the river Thames, so they decided to build a settlement on the north bank. Although small settlements had been built on the banks of the Thames, the Romans were the ones who built the first city. They called their city Londinium. The Roman engineers noticed that the point where the swampy river narrowed would make an ideal crossing point, they built London Bridge. Less than 20 years later the native Iceni tribe, led by Queen Boudicca, rose up against the Romans in revenge for mistreatment and burnt Londinium to the ground. The well disciplined Roman army defeated her forces and Londinium was r...
