How does the yellow river affect people?
The Huang River affects the people that lived near it because over time loess builds up in the river it forming dams, so that caused the river to change its course many times. But when the river suddenly changes course, farms and towns are destroyed. And the Huang river also has many horrible floods. So in a result they call the Huang river "the River of Sorrow".
Where did the last Victorian Frost Fair in 1814 take place?
Britain's final Frost Fair began on 1 February 1814 and, like the preceding Frost Fairs, it was held on the frozen Thames River in London. The river was frozen so solidly that with herds of donkeys were led out onto the frozen waterway for donkey rides and market sales, and lamb was roasted on the ice, with its meat sold as "Lapland Mutton". After this event, winters did not become so cold again. When the new London Bridge was built, it had fewer supporting piers, which allowed the water to flow more freely. Therefore the Thames did not freeze over enough to allow crowds of thousands to wander about on its surface.
During 1777 British General Burgoyne attempted to implement a plan for dividing the colonies by capturing what?
Hudson River Valley
Did they have alcohol in Elizabethan times?
Shakespeare talks about people drinking mead. It was an alcoholic drink made from honey and water which was fermented with yeast. I'm sure the most common drink was water though. Actually I thought water was very dangerous at those times, so it was only drunk if desperate. True with the mead though! Thanks!
How many times has britain been invaded in the past?
In historic times, the Thames and the Rhine were the same river, and there was no English Channel. So people crossed over to England on foot, without any idea of invasion. After the English Channel started to widen, the first known invaders were the Romans, followed by the Angles and Jutes, then the Saxons. The Norman conquest of 1066 is the last officially-recognised invasion. But events after 1950, continuing to the present day, will eventually be recognised as an invasion in the full sense.
