United States - Prehistory. American history began with the migration of people from Asia across the Bering land bridge some time prior to 12,000 years ago, possibly following large animals that they hunted into the Americas. These Native Americans left evidence of their presence in petroglyphs, burial mounds, and other artifacts. It is estimated that 2–9 million people lived in the territory now occupied by the U.S. before that population was diminished by European contact and the foreign diseases it brought ( ...

During the period 1945-1975, Keynesian economic theory guided politicians throughout Western Europe and this was particularly influential in Belgium. After the war, the government cancelled Belgium's debts. It was during this period that the well-known Belgian highways were built. At night, their street lights make them easily seen from space. In this sphere of economics, World War II marks a turning point. Because Flanders had been widely devastated during the war and had been largely agricultural since the Belgian uprising, it benef ...

In August 1830, stirred by a performance of Auber's La Muette de Portici at the Brussels opera house La Monnaie (Dutch: De Munt), the Belgian Revolution broke out, and the country wrested its independence from the Dutch, aided by French intellectuals and French armed forces. The real political forces behind this were the Catholic clergy, which was against the protestant Dutch king, William I, and the equally strong liberals, who opposed the royal authoritarianism, and the fact that the Belgians were not represented propo ...

Mammoth Cave is developed in thick Mississippian-aged limestone strata capped by a layer of sandstone, making the system remarkably stable. The cave currently known to comprise of over 360 miles (579 kilometers) of passageway, with new discoveries and connections adding several miles per year to this figure. The sandstone prevents water infiltrating the caves from above, thereby preventing the formation of stalactites and stalagmites. However, the sandstone capping layer has been dissolved and eroded at many locations within the park, ...

Several "wild" tours venture away from the developed parts of the cave into muddy crawls and dusty tunnels. The Echo River Tour, one of the cave's most famous attractions, used to take visitors on a boat ride along an underground river. The tour was discontinue ...

When the Portuguese merchant Fernao Pires de Andrade met Chinese officials through an interpreter at Pearl River estuary in 1517 to negotiate trade with Canton (Guangzhou), the sailors landed at a so-called "Tuen Mun Island" and killed some local villagers. This "Tuen Mun island" and village has been interpreted as proof of the maritime trading decline of the aforementioned "Tuen Mun area". Kowloon first appeared in a military text of the Jiajing era.

After the end of World War II and the communist takeover of mainland China in 1949, hundreds of thousands of people emigrated from mainland China to Hong Kong, which had been an important entrepôt. However its position declined greatly after the United Nations ordered a trade embargo against the People's Republic of China as a result of the Korean War. Luckily, some of the new immigrants brought with them skills and capital, while others became a vast pool of cheap labour. At the same time, many foreign firms moved their offices from Shanghai to Hong Kong. This helped Hong Kong achieve its first eco ...
