History of China
The recorded history of China began in the 15th century BC when the Shang Dynasty started to use markings that evolved into the present Chinese characters. Turtle shells with markings reminiscent of ancient Chinese writing from the Shang Dynasty have been carbon dated to as early as 1500 BC.[1] Chinese civilization originated with city-states in the Yellow River (Huang He) valley. 221 BC is commonly accepted to be the year in which China became unified under a large kingdom or empire. In that year, Qin Shi Huang first united China. Successive dynasties in Chinese history developed bureaucratic systems that enabled the Emperor of China to control increasingly larger territory that reached maximum under the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and Manchurian Qing Dynasty.

The conventional view of Chinese history is that of a country alternating between periods of political unity and disunity and occasionally becoming dominated by foreign peoples, most of whom were assimilated into the Han Chinese population. Cultural and political influences from many parts of Asia, carried by successive waves of immigration, expansion, and assimilation, merged to create the Chinese culture.

Ancient history is the study of the written past from the beginning of human history until the Early Middle Ages[1] in Europe, the Qin Dynasty in China, the Chola Empire in India, and some less defined point in the rest of the world (for example, in the Americas). (The period following antiquity is the Imperial era in China and the period of the Middle Kingdoms in India; one might consider the end of antiquity in the Americas to be the start of the colonization of the Americas.) The goal of the modern day critical ancient historian is objectivity. The term classical antiquity is often used to refer to ancient history since the beginning of recorded Greek history in about 776 BC (First Olympiad). This coincides, roughly, with the traditional date of the founding of Rome in 753 BC, the beginning of the history of ancient Rome.

Although the ending date of ancient history is disputed, currently most Western scholars use the fall of the Western Roman Empire in AD 476, the death of the emperor Justinian I or the coming of Islam in 632 as the end of ancient European history. The span of recorded history is roughly 5,000 – 5,500 years, with Sumerian cuneiform being the oldest form of writing discovered so far. This is the beginning of history by the definition used by most historians.

United States
officially United States of America
Federal republic, North America.
It comprises 48 contiguous states occupying the mid-continent, Alaska at the northwestern extreme of North America, and the island state of Hawaii in the mid-Pacific Ocean. Area, including the U.S. share of the Great Lakes: 3,675,031 sq mi (9,518,287 sq km). Population (2002 est.): 287,602,000. Capital: Washington, D.C. The population includes people of European and Middle Eastern ancestry, African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Pacific Islanders, American Indians (Native Americans), and Alaska Natives. Languages: English (predominant), Spanish. Religions: Protestantism, Roman Catholicism, Judaism, Islam. Currency: U.S. dollar. The country's regions encompass mountains, plains, lowlands, and deserts. Mountain ranges include the Appalachians, Ozarks, Rockies, Cascades, and Sierra Nevada. The lowest point is Death Valley, Calif. The highest point is Alaska's Mount McKinley; within the coterminous U.S. it is Mount Whitney, Calif. Chief rivers are the Mississippi system, the Colorado, the Columbia, and the Rio Grande. The Great Lakes, the Great Salt Lake, and Lake Okeechobee are the largest lakes. The U.S. is among the world's leading procers of several minerals, including copper, silver, zinc, gold, coal, petroleum, and natural gas; it is the chief exporter of food. Its manufactures include iron and steel, chemicals, electronic equipment, and textiles. Other important instries are tourism, dairying, livestock raising, fishing, and lumbering. The U.S. is a republic with two legislative houses; its head of state and government is the president. The territory was originally inhabited for several thousand years by numerous American Indian peoples who had probably emigrated from Asia. European exploration and settlement from the 16th century began displacement of the Indians. The first permanent European settlement, by the Spanish, was at Saint Augustine, Fla., in 1565; the British settled Jamestown, Va. (1607); Plymouth, Mass. (1620); Maryland (1634); and Pennsylvania (1681). The British took New York, New Jersey, and Delaware from the Dutch in 1664, a year after the Carolinas had been granted to British noblemen. The British defeat of the French in 1763 (see French and Indian War) assured British political control over its 13 colonies. Political unrest caused by British colonial policy culminated in the American Revolution (1775–83) and the Declaration of Independence (1776). The U.S. was first organized under the Articles of Confederation (1781), then finally under the Constitution (1787) as a federal republic. Boundaries extended west to the Mississippi River, excluding Spanish Florida. Land acquired from France by the Louisiana Purchase (1803) nearly doubled the country's territory. The U.S. fought the War of 1812 against the British and acquired Florida from Spain in 1819. In 1830 it legalized removal of American Indians to lands west of the Mississippi River. Settlement expanded into the Far West in the mid-19th century, especially after the discovery of gold in California in 1848 (see gold rush). Victory in the Mexican War (1846–48) brought the territory of seven more future states (including California and Texas) into U.S. hands. The northwestern boundary was established by treaty with Great Britain in 1846. The U.S. acquired southern Arizona by the Gadsden Purchase (1853). It suffered disunity ring the conflict between the slavery-based plantation economy in the South and the free instrial and agricultural economy in the North, culminating in the American Civil War and the abolition of slavery under the 13th Amendment. After Reconstruction (1865–77) the U.S. experienced rapid growth, urbanization, instrial development, and European immigration. In 1877 it authorized allotment of American Indian reservation land to indivial tribesmen, resulting in widespread loss of land to whites. By the end of the 19th century, it had developed foreign trade and acquired outlying territories, including Alaska, Midway Island, the Hawaiian Islands, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam, Wake Island, American Samoa, the Panama Canal Zone, and the Virgin Islands. The U.S. participated in World War I in 1917–18. It granted suffrage to women in 1920 and citizenship to American Indians in 1924. The stock market crash of 1929 led to the Great Depression. The U.S. entered World War II after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor (Dec. 7, 1941). The explosion by the U.S. of an atomic bomb on Hiroshima (Aug. 6, 1945) and another on Nagasaki (Aug. 9, 1945), Japan, brought about Japan's surrender. Thereafter the U.S. was the military and economic leader of the Western world. In the first decade after the war, it aided the reconstruction of Europe and Japan and became embroiled in a rivalry with the Soviet Union known as the Cold War. It participated in the Korean War from 1950 to 1953. In 1952 it granted autonomous commonwealth status to Puerto Rico. Racial segregation in schools was declared unconstitutional in 1954. Alaska and Hawaii were made states in 1959. In 1964 Congress passed the Civil Rights Act and authorized U.S. entry into the Vietnam War. The mid-to late 1960s were marked by widespread civil disorder, including race riots and antiwar demonstrations. The U.S. accomplished the first manned lunar landing in 1969. All U.S. troops were withdrawn from Vietnam in 1973. The U.S. led a coalition of forces against Iraq in the First Persian Gulf War (1991), sent troops to Somalia (1992) to aid starving populations, and participated in NATO air strikes against Serbian forces in the former Yugoslavia in 1995 and 1999. In 1998 Pres. Bill Clinton became only the second president to be impeached by the House of Representatives; he was acquitted by the Senate in 1999. Administration of the Panama Canal was turned over to Panama in 1999. In 2000 George W. Bush became the first person since 1888 to be elected president by the electoral college despite having won fewer popular votes than his opponent, Al Gore. After the September 11 attacks on the U.S. in 2001 destroyed the World Trade Center and part of the Pentagon, the U.S. attacked Afghanistan's Taliban government for harbouring and refusing to extradite the mastermind of the terrorism, Osama bin Laden.

Wales became part of the Kingdom of England in 1535. The defeat of the Spanish Invincible Fleet in 1588 by the Naval Battle of Gravoline frustrated the invasion of foreign Catholic forces.

basically eliminating the threat of Catholicism and consolidating the achievements of religious reform.

In 1640, Britain broke out the first bourgeois revolution in the world and became the pioneer of the bourgeois revolution. The Republic was proclaimed on 19 May 1649.

The restoration of the dynasty in 1660 and the "Glorious Revolution" in 1688 established the constitutional monarchy.

In 1707, England merged with Scotland. Through the Seven Years'War, Britain laid the foundation of the Sunset Empire and gained the hegemony of the sea.

It was merged with Ireland in 1801. After the Napoleonic War, Britain completed the imperial hegemony of the Sunset Empire.

From the second half of the 18th century to the first half of the 19th century, it became the first country in the world to complete the instrial revolution.

英国历史始于日耳曼人与凯尔特人，亦是后来的英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰，其源头可追溯到罗马统治时期。

英国全称为大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国，由和北爱尔兰组成，而整个英国的历史也就是由这四个区域的历史交织组成。

1535年威尔士成为英格兰王国的一部分，1588年格拉沃利讷海战打败西班牙无敌舰队使英国挫败了国外天主教势力的入侵，基本消除了天主教的威胁，巩固了宗教改革的成果。

1640年英国在全球第一个爆发资产阶级革命，成为资产阶级革命的先驱。1649年5月19日宣布成立共和国。1660年王朝复辟，1688年发生“光荣革命”，确立了君主立宪制。

1707年英格兰与苏格兰合并，通过七年战争英国奠定日不落帝国的基础，并获取了海上霸主。

1801年又与爱尔兰合并。拿破仑战争后英国完成了日不落帝国的霸业。18世纪后半叶至19世纪上半叶，成为世界上第一个完成工业革命的国家。

19世纪是大英帝国的全盛时期，1914年占有的殖民地比本土大111倍，是第一殖民大国，自称“日不落帝国”。

1922年爱尔兰共和国独立，爱尔兰北部仍留在联合王国内，即是今天的北爱尔兰。

英国历史大事：

1、英西战争

英西战争（英语：Anglo-Spanish War；西班牙语：Guerra anglo-española）（1585年–1604年）指西班牙帝国与英格兰王国之间未经正式宣战的间歇性冲突。

英西战争由多场大范围战役组成，起于1585年英国与荷兰签订楠萨奇条约，拥护荷兰抵抗西班牙帝国的统治。

1587年英国于加的斯率先夺胜，翌年于1588年格拉沃利讷海战击退西班牙无敌舰队，但1589年科伦纳·里斯本远征败北后情势逆转，西班牙在弗洛雷斯海战重振海军实力。

而英国分别在以后的1595-1596年西印度群岛远征和1597年的埃塞克斯-罗利远征决定性失败。西班牙先后在1596年和1597年派遣两支无敌舰队趁胜追击，但在恶劣的气候下遭挫。

无敌舰队战败后的十年间，西班牙加强了海军实力，对后来南美洲贵重金属的运输影响深远。而战争在1590年代走入僵局。

1602年英国与荷兰通过多佛海峡海战一度获取英吉利海峡乃至欧洲西部海域的主导权并持续两年。

1601-1604年西班牙进行了人类史上较为残酷、血腥的奥斯坦德之围，经过三年的围攻，英荷联军最终投降，西班牙军队拿下了这座城堡，使英荷西三方都想结束战争，回到和平。

1604年由腓力三世与新任英格兰国王詹姆斯一世代表签订伦敦条约后画下句点。西英协议分别停止对爱尔兰与尼德兰的军事介入，且英方放弃在公海上的劫掠行为。

缔约两方皆有达成部分目标，战后西班牙重获欧洲西部海域优势。条约整体有利于西班牙。但整起战争过程对两国财政都造成了相当程度的负担，而英国则进入40年的萎靡期。

2、蔷薇战争

蔷薇战争（又称玫瑰战争；英语：Wars of the Roses；1455年─1485年）是英王爱德华三世（1327年-1377年在位）的两支后裔：兰开斯特家族和约克家族的支持者为了争夺英格兰王位而发生断续的内战。

两大家族都是金雀花王朝王室的分支，约克家族是爱德华三世的第四子的后裔、兰开斯特家族是爱德华三世的第三子的后裔。

玫瑰战争是约克家族的爱德华三世的第五代、第六代继承人对兰开斯特家族的爱德华三世的第四代、第五代继承人的王位战争。

“玫瑰战争”一名并未使用于当时，而是在16世纪，莎士比亚在历史剧《亨利六世》中以两朵玫瑰被拔标志战争的开始后才成为普遍用语。

此名称源于两个家族所选的家徽，兰开斯特的红蔷薇Rosa gallica和约克的白蔷薇Rosa ×alba。

战争最终以兰开斯特家族的亨利七世与约克的伊丽莎白联姻为结束，也结束了法国金雀花王朝在英格兰的统治，开启了新的威尔士人都铎王朝的统治。 也标记着在英格兰中世纪时期的结束并走向新的文艺复兴时代。

为了纪念这次战争，英格兰以玫瑰（这里玫瑰实为欧洲古老蔷薇）为国花，并把皇室徽章改为红白蔷薇。

简史：公元3世纪阿勒曼尼人（日耳曼民族）迁入瑞士东部和北部，勃艮第人迁入西部并建立了第一个勃艮策王朝。公元11世纪受神圣罗马帝国的统治。1648年摆脱神圣罗马帝国的统治，宣布独立，奉行中立政策，1798年，拿破仑一世侵吞瑞士，将其改为“海尔维第共和国”。1803年，瑞士恢复联邦。1815年,维也纳会议确认瑞士为永久中立国，1848年瑞士制定新宪法，设立联邦委员会，从此成为统一的联邦制国家。在两次世界大战中，瑞士均保持中立。瑞士自1948年起一直是联合国的观察员国。在2002年3月举行的全民公决中，54．6％的瑞士选民和瑞士23个州中的12个州赞成瑞士加入联合国。2002年9月10日，第57届联合国大会一致通过决议，正式接纳瑞士联邦为联合国新的会员国。

政治：瑞士是联邦制国家，各州为主权州，有自己的宪法。联邦委员会是国家最高行政机构。联邦议会由具有同等权限的国民院和联邦院组成，是联邦的立法机构。只有两院取得一致，法律或决议才能生效。联邦委员会是国家最高行政机构，联邦委员会主席为瑞士联邦主席，是国家元首兼政府首脑。任期一年，不得连任。根据宪法规定，瑞士实行“公民表决”（即公民投票）和“公民倡议”形式的直接民主。凡修改宪法条款、签订期限为15年以上的国际条约或加入重要国际组织，必须经过公民表决并由各州通过后方能生效。
军事：瑞士实行全民兵役制度，18岁至42岁的健康男子每隔两年必须抽出3个星期时间到军队服役，服役人员也可选择一次性服役。男子的总服役时间为260天，女性有与男性同样的权利，可以持枪参加各项军事任务。瑞士军队有22万（包括8万名预备役人员和2万名新兵学员），职能为国防与防范恐怖主义。瑞士将启动军队改革计划>>>

外交：瑞士为“永久中立国”，奉行积极的中立政策。“普遍性”、“善良服务”和“国际合作”是构成其外交政策的三要素。2005年6月，瑞士公民表决批准加入《申根协定》。 《申根协定》

与中国关系：1950年9月14日，瑞士与中国建交，并互派公使。1956年1月和1957年4月中瑞各自将公使馆升格为大使馆。2003年11月，瑞士联邦主席帕斯卡尔·库什潘对中国进行工作访问。
