History of Spain - Visigothic kingdoms in Iberia, jumped the Strait of Gibraltar, and by 718 dominated most of the peninsula. The Moorish advance into Europe was stopped at Poitiers (France) in 732. The rulers of Al-Andalus were granted the rank of Emir by the Umayyad Caliph in Damascus. After the Umayyad were overthrown by the Abbasids, Abd-ar-rahman I declared Cordoba an independent emirate. Al-Andalus was rife with internal conflict between the Arab Umayyad rulers, the Berber (North African) commoners and the Visigoth-Roman Christian population. In the 10th century Abd-ar-rahman III declared the Caliphate of Cordoba, effectively breaking all ties with the Egyptian and Syrian Caliphs. The Caliphate reached its peak around the year 1000, under Al-Mansur (a.k.a. Almanzor), who sacked Barcelona (985) and other Christian cities. After Almanzor's death the Caliphate plunged into a.
History of France - their successes, in 845 the Vikings ransacked Paris. Charles the Simple (898-922), whose territory comprised much of the France of today, was forced during his reign to concede to the Vikings a large area on either side of the Seine River, downstream from Paris, that was to become Normandy. The Carolingians were subsequently to share the fate of their predecessors: after an intermittent power struggle between the two families, the accession (987) of Hugh Capet, duke of France and count of Paris, established on the throne the Capetian dynasty which with its Valois and Bourbon offshoots was to rule France for more than 800 years. The Carolingian era had seen the gradual emergence of institutions which were to condition France's development for centuries to come: the acknowledgement by the crown of.
Giant sequoia - Redwood, Sequoiadendron giganteum, is one of a number of species of gymnosperm tree known as redwoods, classified in the Family Cupressaceae (in a part of this family formerly segregated as Taxodiaceae). Even though these trees are among the tallest in the world they have some of the smallest cones. These cones can only germinate in mineral soils and possibly only soils derived from metamorphic rock. Periodic fire, large amounts of water, and the climatic conditions that exist at 5-8 thousand feet are vital conditions for sequoia. Without fire shade-loving species will crowd out young sequoia and sequoia seeds will not germinate. When full grown, these trees typically require several hundred to nearly a thousand gallons of water and are therefore often concentrated near drainage areas. "General Grant" from Sequoia and Kings.
Denis of Portugal - the present day. Dinis main priority of government was the organization of the country. He pursued his father's policies on legislation and centralization of power. Dinis promulgated the nucleus of a Portuguese civil and criminal law code, protecting the lower classes from abuse and extortion.

He ordered the construction of numerous castles, created new towns, and granted privileges of city to several others. With his wife, princess Isabella of Aragon, Dinis worked to improve the life of the poor and founded several social institutions.

Aragon - Fraga). History From 1035 until 1479 Aragón was also the name of an independent kingdom ruling not only the present administrative region but also from 1137 Catalonia, and later the Balearic Islands, Valencia, Sicily, Naples and Sardinia (see Catalan-Aragonese Empire). The real center of this kingdom was Barcelona, since it was the Catalan counts that inherited the Aragonese Crown and not the other way around. Present-day historians usually call the kingdom the "Catalan-Aragonese Confederation" or, some of them, simply "Catalonia-Aragon". Barcelona was the center of what was in many ways a Mediterranean Empire, rulling the Mediterranean Sea and setting rules for the entire sea (for instances, in the Llibre del Consolat del Mar (in Catalan).

The White Plague - planted by the IRA goes off. Driven insane by loss, he plans a genocidal revenge, creating a plague that kills only women, and releases it in Ireland (for supporting the terrorists), England (for oppressing the Irish and giving them a cause), and Libya (for training them); he then demands that the governments of the world quarantine those countries and let the plague run its course, so they will lose what he has lost; if they don't, he has more plagues to release. Note: Wikipedia contains spoilers Two interesting notes- This novel preceded the "scare" of AIDS, Ebola, and SARS by many years, in envisioning a global pandemic disease. Additionally, the ease in which O'Neill designs the plague he unleashes foresees the future in which diseases can be custom designed and tailored.
Colonial America - (the Aztec) and of the Andes (the Inca). Portugal, which had begun charting the far shores of the Atlantic Ocean before Spain began, was limited by the Treaty of Tordesillas to the lands east of Brazil.

Robert Tannahill - remember and likely nothing was about to happen to change that state of affairs. At least four socio-ideological forces were interacting in Scotland at the time to produce social tension, civil strife and experience of foreign conflict: these were firstly the martial heritage and tradition of mercenary soldiering (the Scotsman as soldier/hero), secondly the Covenanters (radical Presbyterianism, both pro and anti Union), thirdly Jacobinism (the preservation/restoration of the Steuarts) and finally international, social and class conflicts connected with the new arrangements resulting from the industrial revolution. From at least the middle of the 16th century up to the present day tensions from one or all of these forces have mingled with pro and anti-English sentiments to manifest themselves in outbursts of differing intensity: from the destruction of Catholic religious icons, to.

List of French monarchs - the Kingdom of Western Francia at the Treaty of Verdun in 843. This view is somewhat problematic in layman's terms, however, in part due to the existence of centuries-old tradition that considers the beginnings of France to lie in the Merovingian Frankish kingdom established under Clovis I. This kingdom was founded in the 5th century, and its rulers deposed in the 8th century. This tradition itself is based in part on the need of the post-Carolingian Capetian kings to strengthen their claims to the throne. Over time, these claims became part of the French national identity. Since the 1990s, the very question of nationality, especially for nations who consider their foundations to be in the period from the 5th to 9th centuries, has come under fire. This re-examination has already resulted.
