4) Fools Gold: Expeditions to map and discover lucrative sea routes such as the North –West passage, laying claim to the Arctic in the name of Queen Elizabeth I and the hope of finding gold to pay for such ventures, only succeeded in unearthing worthless black rock which built a nice wall. 5) Another Planet : Visualising an almost ‘alien’ style landscape from an early nineteenth century imagination, from stories and legends of the horrific failures of man to explore such inhospitable regions, can only enhance the view that perhaps nature will
Writer Alden Vaughn, who wrote a book New England Frontier: Puritans and Indians, 1620-1675, which this book is really explicit toward the Puritans and Indians. He feels like one was unified, visionary, disciplined, and dynamic while the other was divided, self-satisfied, undisciplined, and static. Also saying that the Puritans and Indians couldn’t live side by side with no penetration of more fragmented and passive by the more consolidated and active. (202,13) From what Tompkin already knew she knew that what Vaughn was saying was not true. The vision that Vaughn was given to his readers it’s not like that anymore.
In this article A. A. Gill tries to illuminate and comment on the downside to Scandinavian moment as he calls it. He starts by listing all the good things about Scandinavia in a very sarcastic way. The talks about a painting called, The Scream, which sold for $120 million and became the face of the North: “...became the ghostly face of the Scandinavian invasion blowing out of the North.” And then refers to the time where the brutal Vikings ruled over the North as a complete contrast to the Scandinavian people today. He then lists some other things like: “open marriages, Abba, Legos, Swedish fish, cell phones, and Volvos.” Which are supposed to symbolise some of the things the Scandinavians have popped up with since their savage nature changed.
He was self motivated by profits to become the largest and only American Fur company, owning 99.9% of the stock and going out of his way to crush rivals, monopolizing the industry. His managerial abilities were great, allowing him to expand and get furs essentially for nearly nothing,
America was in a recession and gave off the impression that it was no longer the superpower that was once feared and respected. It would come to the surprise of everyone that a hockey game would be the reason that fueled Americans to become excited and proud to wave the flag again. The symbols taken from the 1980 Miracle on Ice played an important role in boosting the morale of a torn nation and gave hope to the future of American culture.

Canada and immigration policies have never really gone together until the last twenty to twenty five years. Only then did Canada realize that immigration isn’t a bad thing and that we were mistreating the people that wanted to come to Canada. Think of back when the Canadian Pacific Railway was being built. WE promised these people so much only if they came to work here, and we tricked them. The land that promised them this stuff was obviously not the promise land.
In accounts over the years, it seems more commonly accepted that this was simply misunderstanding, due to Europeans not being exceptionally open minded to a foreign culture. “The discovery of the Americas did not begin with Christopher Columbus. It began thousands of years earlier, when human beings first crossed into the new continents and began to people them.” (Brinkley) It seems that respect for this statement wasn't expressed very diplomatically by some European settlers. I find this common thread of misunderstanding throughout accounts to be a quite chilling reflection of the situation's actuality. Is this directly connected to the misunderstanding which led to the slaughter of many?
The reliability of the cited fact is doubtful, let alone the justifiability of the assumption that the Canada’s arctic region where the arctic deer reside has also experienced the sea ice melting. It is entirely possible that globe warming has caused the antarctic region’s ice to melt or anywhere else’s, but the Canada’s arctic region remains intact or solid enough to allow the arcticc deer to travel over.
The nation now has a $51 billion wedding industry, which employs over 800,000 people.”[] This is important to Canadian identity because we were the fourth country to recognize and legalize same sex relationships. It shows that we were and still open to new ideas, especially in the quality among all Canadians. 1998 Ice Storm Between January 4-10th 1998, a deadly ice storm slowly crept its way into destruction, a never before witnessed in Canadian eye, which labeled the greatest natural disaster in Canadian history. It involved three different storm fronts, the Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec, and the Atlantic coast with almost 100mm of precipitation impacts. Destroying anything and everything that it could get its hands on.
The 1930s were characterized by a growing influence of fascism in Europe. Whilst several European superpowers just about unanimously headed towards the abolition of the Treaty of Versailles, Czechoslovakia slowly drifted into political isolation. On top of being the only democracy in Central and Eastern Europe from 1933 to 1938, Czechoslovakia had an extremely deficient military force at its disposal, which made it impossible to compete with neighbouring countries in terms of military strength or political influence. This might be the reason why the Czechoslovakian government did not issue any protests or comments when the German army occupied Austria on 11th March 1938 and, by doing so, grossly violated several peace treaties. In addition,
