Colony - About Colony - KnowledgeIsFun.com The "age of imperialism" began in the 15th century with the initiation of the vast Spanish Empire in the Americas and lasted until the mid-20th century with the dismantling of the British Empire. This process is called decolonization, though the use of a single term obscures an important distinction between the process of the settler population breaking its links with the mother country while maintaining local political supremacy and that of the indigenous population reasserting themselves (possibly through the expulsion of the settler population). European countries and the United States, exploiting the weakness of China's waning imperial regime, also maintained so-called international concessions in that country, a sort of colonial enclave; the coastal towns of Macau and Hong Kong were held on long-term leases by Portugal and the United Kingdom. www.knowledgeisfun.com /C/Co/Colony.php   (1504 words)

Women in parliaments For virtually all the 189 countries mentioned in the study, it gives the foundation date of the parliamentary institution and, in the case of the 123 countries having attained sovereignty after 1945, the date of such accession, whether resulting from a decolonization process or from dissolution of the federation of which they were part. It is in countries with a long parliamentary tradition in Europe and in the Americas (disregarding here the vicissitudes of the parliamentary institution in some of them, as will be apparent from the country data) that the time lapse is the most striking, as a few examples will illustrate. On the other hand, the repeated election of women Presidents of the Assembly or a Chamber of it is to be noted in Austria, Canada, Dominica, Finland, Germany, Guatemala, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Sweden and Switzerland, together with the former SFR of Yugoslavia. www.ipu.org /wmn-e/dstrseat.htm   (5679 words)
