| | | | | Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - Merthyr Tydfil - The Roman invasion The Romans had arrived in Wales by about 47-53CE and established a network of forts, with roads to link them. They had to fight hard to consolidate their conquests, and in 74 CE they built an auxiliary fortress at Penydarren, overlooking the River Taff (Taf). It covered an area of about 3 hectares, and formed part of the network of roads and fortifications. Remains of this fortress were found underneath the football ground where Merthyr Tydfil FC play. A road ran north-south through the area, linking the southern coast with mid-Wales via Brecon. Parts of this and other roads, including one known as ...

| | | | | Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - Merthyr Tydfil - The coming of Christianity The Latin language and some Roman customs and culture had become established, despite the withdrawal of the Roman army. The Christian religion was introduced, perhaps by monks who found their way up the valleys from Ireland and France.
Against this background, some petty kingdoms came slowly into existence. Welsh legend has it that a local chieftain arose, later to be known under the name of King Arthur. More legend than fact is known about him, but one story has it that he was Ambrosius Aurelianus, a Romanised Briton. He proba ...

Its name was altered to Burgh between 992 and 1005 after Abbot Kenulf had made a wall round the minister, but the town does not appea ...

| | | | | Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - Economic history of Britain - Foreign investment Foreign trade thus tripled in volume between 1870 and 1914, although (again) most of the activity occurred among the industrialized countries, or between them and their suppliers of primary goods or their new markets. In 1913, only 11 percent of the world's trade took place between primary producers themselves. Britain ranked as the world's largest trading nation in 1860, but by 1913 it had lost ground to both the United States and Germany: British and German exports in that year each totalled $2.3 billion, and those of the United States exceeded $2.4 billio ...

| | | | | Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - Economic history of Britain - 20th Century
Economic history of Britain - Overview.
By the time of Queen Victoria's death in 1901, other nations, including the United States and Germany, had developed their own industries; the United Kingdom's comparative economic advantage had lessened, and the ambitions of its rivals had grown. The losses and destruction of World War I, the depression in its aftermath during the 1930s, and decades of relatively slow growth eroded the United Kingdom's preeminent international position of the previous century. The Great De ...

Cleckheaton - Early History.
Like much of England, the Spen Valley was heavily wooded and this is supported by some of the names in the area, Birkenshaw and Oakenshaw mean birch and oak grove respectively and the well used -hurst and -royd suffixes suggest clearings in the forest.
Human habitation occurred thousands of years ago and Mesolithic and Neolithic remains have been found in various places. Roman remains have been found in the valley and it is thought that the roads from York to Chester and from settlements in Halifax and Wakefield ran through ...

| | | | | Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - Economic history of Britain - Breakdown of Pax Britannica and New Imperialism In a scramble for overseas markets between the Franco-Prussian War and World War, Europe added almost 9 million square miles (23,000,000 km²) — one-fifth of the land area of the globe — to its overseas colonial possessions. Ushering out the cavalier colonialism of the mid-Victorian era, the age of Pax Britannica, the late nineteenth century Romantic Age was an era of "empire for empire's sake". But scholars debate the causes and ramifications of this period of colonialism, dubbed "The New Imperialism" to distinguish it from earlier ...

Mohammad Reza Pahlavi - Deposition of his father.
Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, which broke the Nazi-Soviet non-aggression pact, had a huge impact on Iran. Iran had technically declared neutrality, though the country had maintained good relations with Nazi Germany and was seen as a potential member of the Axis, and thus a pre-emptive invasion was staged by Great Britain and the Soviet Union. In the proceeding occupation, the Allies forced the Shah to abdicate in favour of his son, M ...

By the end of the 14th century, foreign trade, originally based on wool exports ...
