History of Alaska - Russian Alaska.
Main article: Russian Alaska
The first written accounts indicate that the first Europeans to reach Alaska came from Russia. The legend holds that a Russian settlement was established as early as 1648, when Semyon Dezhnev, a Siberian explorer, and Fedot Alekseev, a Russian merchant, began exploring the region, though there is little existing evidence to back this claim up. Vitus Bering, a Danish navigator in the service of the Russian Navy aboard the < ...

| | | | | 18th: Encyclopedia II - History of mathematics - 18th century As we have seen, knowledge of the natural numbers, 1, 2, 3,..., as preserved in monolithic structures, is older then any surviving written text. The earliest civilizations, in Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, and China, knew arithmetic.
One way to view the development of the various number systems of modern mathematics is to see new numbers invented to answer questions about arithmetic performed on older numbers. In prehistoric times, fractions answered the question: what number, when multiplied by 3, gives the answer 1. In India and China, ...

| | | | | 18th: Encyclopedia II - Irish poetry - The 18th century The 18th Century perhaps marks the point at which the two language traditions reach equal weight of importance. In Swift, the English tradition has its first writer of genius. Poetry in Irish now reflects the passing of the old Gaelic order and the patronage on which the poets depended for their livelihoods. This, then, is a period of transition writ large.

| | | | | | 18th: Encyclopedia II - Georgian Dublin - 18th Century Property Developers While the rebuilding by the Wide Streets Commission fundamentally changed the streetscape in Dublin, a property boom led to additional building outside the central core. Unlike twentieth century building booms in Dublin (which by general agreement were disastrously mismanaged) the eighteenth century developments were carefully controlled. The developing areas were divided into precincts, each of which was given to a different developer. The scope of their developments were restricted, however, with strict controls imposed on style of residential building, design of buildings and location, s ...

| | | | | 18th: Encyclopedia II - History of the Jews in Ireland - 18th Century In 1746 a bill was introduced in the Irish House of Commons "for naturalizing persons professing the Jewish religion in Ireland". Another was introduced in the following year, agreed to without amendment, and presented to the Lord Lieutenant to be transmitted to England; but it never received the royal assent. These Irish bills, however, had one very important result; namely, the formation of the Committee of Diligence, which was organized by British Jews at this time to watch the progress of the measure. This ultimately led to the organizat ...

The metropolitan of Moscow was henceforth also the Archimandrite of the Lavra. Elizabeth particularly favoured the Trinity and anually proceeded afoot from Moscow to the cloister. Her secret spouse Alexey Razumovsky accompanied her on such journeys and commissioned a baroque church to the Virgin of Smolensk, the last major shrine to be erected in the lavra. Another pledge of Elizabeth's affection for the monastery is a white-and-blue baroque belltower, which, at 88 meters, was the tallest structure built in Russia up to ...

Many Slovenians emigrated to the USA at the turn of the 20th century, mostly due to economic reasons. Those that settled in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania came to be called Windish.

| | | | | 18th: Encyclopedia II - History of Russo-Turkish wars - 18th Century Russia had managed to secure a favorable international situation by signing a few treaties with Iran in 1732-1735 (which was at war with Ottoman Empire in 1730-1736) and supporting the accession to the Polish throne of Augustus III in 1735 instead of the French protégé Stanislaw I Leszczynski, nominated by pro-Turkish France. Austria was Russia's ally since 1726.
The casus belli was the raids of the Crimean Tatars on Ukraine in the end of 1735 and the Crimean khan's military campaign in the Caucasus. In 1736, the Rus ...

Accents, that had been in common use by printers for a long time, were finally adopted by the Académie, and many mute consonants were dropped.
estre → être (to be)
monachal → monacal (monastic)
Many changes suggested in the fourth editions were later abandoned along with thousands of neologisms added to it. ...

His father-in-law, Charles Chaboillez, oversaw the Lower Red River trading post. McTavish also hired his nephew William McGillivray to learn the business, but the young man had to prove his worth by starting out near the bottom of the ladder. Over several years, McGillivray demonstrated considerable business acumen, and in 1788 he acquired the share owned by Peter Pond when Pond chose to retire. Simon McTavish was an ...

Edward Gibbon had referred to it as a "singular mutilation" practised only by Jews and Turks and as "a painful and often dangerous rite" ...(R. Darby) [10]
In 1753 in London there was a proposal for Jewish emancipation. It was furiously opposed by the pamphleteers of the time, who spread the fear that Jewish emancipation meant universal circumcision. Men were urged to protect:

Although he was born in Germany, he played a defining role in the music of the UK. His orchestral music (such as the Water Music, and the Music for the Royal Fireworks) and his choral music (particularly the Messiah) virtually set the British taste in music for the next 200 years. Today, they remain amongst the most popular concert works; still account for significant album sales; and ar ...
