Europe

Politically, the greatest impact was his defeat and disbandment in 1806 of the Holy Roman Empire (roughly, today's Germany, Austria-Hungary, northern Italy and Poland) that had existed since the days of Charlemagne. His final defeat by - among others - the British, started the rise of that country to the major world player it would remain until WW 2.

Other major changes that affected most of Europe were his ending of the power of almost all near-absolutist rulers and instituting the rule of law in all countries that he occupied. His Code Napoleon is even today the basis of civil law in most of Western Europe. Many of those countries first saw an organized system of education and of merit-based civil service start under his rule. The decimal system has become standard by his order in continental Europe. Modern 'nationalism', the concept of loyalty to one's own nation instead of only to its ruler, started in the early 19th century as a direct reaction to his rule.

The European nation that has had much land reclaimed from the sea is the Netherlands. Much of the nation is below sea level and is protected by a vast system of dikes that hold the water back.

The Mistral is a cold wind from the north-west that blows down through France to the Mediterranean Sea.

The Titanic left from Southampton, England for Cherbourg, France and then to Queenstown, Ireland.

Sleep in the afternoon is siesta. In Spain people stay up late; Spanish opera or operetta and other entertainment begins late in the evening after people have had fun with drinks and tapas and good food. Naturally, the Spanish start work fairly late, and break for lunch in the afternoon, following which they go home, or at least to bed, and relax for quite a long time. Later they arise and make their way back to work, where they get through various activities in the cool of the late afternoon and early evening. Some time later they leave the workplace in order to revisit the tapas and drinks and, if they're in the mood, various kinds of entertainment. Try to tell them they've got it wrong. I wouldn't dare.

Europe is a continent that consists of several countries, just like Asia or Africa. Each country has it's own unique culture, and a part of that is their language. The reason continents like North-America or South America speak the same language is because European countries like England and Portugal colonized these continents during the 19th century. The original population, like the indians, had tribes that controlled geographical areas with unique culture and language, much like European countries.

Denmark is bigger than Switzeland.

Portugal is the leading European producer of tin.

Some of the most famous are the Mount Pelee Volcano (still active), St-Pierre Ruins, and the Volcanological Museum. Note:In 1902 the former capital city (St-Pierre) was destoyed in about 3 minutes by a volcano (Mount Pelee). Out of about 30,000 people, only 1 survived. The night before he had been thrown in jail for drunkness. The thick cell walls prevented him from being killed. Also he travelled with a circus for a while afterwards (I don't know how he escaped).

Europe and Africa come closest together at the Strait of Gibraltar.

The Czech Republic.

The southern part of England primarly London is the most diverse it contains more than half of all foreign people that live in Europe

The driving distance is about 380 km (236 miles) - roughly 3.5 to 4 hours of driving time.

Norway, Sweden, Denmark.

Germany, with a population of 82,210,000.

Russia is the country in Europe with the largest population (141,950,000) but it extends across Asia too, and so is not entirely in Europe.

Just counting the European portion of Russia it is still the most populous at 110,000,000.

Germany, after Russia, with 82,000,000. However Russia is not fully in Europe so Germany would be the most populated country fully in Europe, meaning France, 65,000,000, would be the second most populated country wholly in Europe. (not counting its territorial population.)

Cuba, Spain, and the Dominican Republic are all sovereign nations.

Puerto Rico is an organized territory of the United States of America and is not currently a sovereign nation, although it does have some forms of international status.
