Uus ühiskond ja uus riik: Ameerika ühendriikide tekkimine Esimese inglasena tahtis kolooniat Põhja-Ameerikasse luua inglasest meresõitja Walter Raleigh aastal 1585, kuid see õnnestus hoopis 1607.aastal Chesapeake’I lahes maabunud Londoni kolonistid. Esimene asula nimetati kuninga järgi Jamestowniks, terve koloonia Virginiaks. 1609 rajasid koloonia hollandlased, neid juhtis Henry Hudson (tema järgi nim. Hudsoni jõgi). Hollandlased lõid veel 1613 Uus-Amsterdami(New York). 1638 loodi rootslaste poolt Uus-Rootsi, mille vallutasid hollandlased. Euroopast välja rändamise põhiline põhjus oli lootus, leida siit suurt varandust ilma midagi tegemata. (Eurooplased poleks ilma indiaanlasteta hakkama saanud). 1620 suurenes väljaränne usulistel ja poliitilistel põhjustel. Puritaanid asusid elama Uus-Inglismaale (Kanada), katoliiklased Marylandi ja prantsuse hugenotid Carolinasse. Inglise riigivõimud saatsid kolooniatesse ka kriminaal...

Tallinn English College CANADA Report Karin Kristen Tapupere 8.b Instructor: Tiiu Martma Intro: Canada is a country occupying most of northern North America, extending from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west and northward into the Arctic Ocean. It is the world's second largest country by total area and its common border with the United States to the south and northwest is the longest in the world. The land occupied by Canada was inhabited for millennia by various groups of Aboriginal people. Beginning in the late 15th century, British and French expeditions explored, and later settled along, the Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763 after the Seven Years' War. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. It is a bilingual and mult...

Foreword Bridging rivers, gorges, narrows, straits, and valleys always has played an important role in the history of human settlement. Since ancient times, bridges have been the most visible testimony of the noble craft of engineers. A bridge can be defined in many ways, but Andrea Palladio, the great 16th century Italian architect and engineer, hit on the essence of bridge building when he said "...bridges should befit the spirit of the community by exhibiting commodiousness, firmness, and delight." In more practical terms, he went on to explain that the way to avoid having the bridge carried away by the violence of water was to make the bridge without fixing any posts in the water. Since the beginning of time, the goal of bridge builders has been to create as wide a span as possible which is commodious, firm, and occasionally delightful. Spanning greater distances is a distinct measure ...
