	The West African Federation
		From its beginnings, the West African Federation was in a privileged position relative to most of the rest of Africa, since it retained a close association with the European Confederation along with the smaller and more vulnerable former French colonies in the Caribbean, and in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
		Although West Africa was spared along with the rest of the African continent from the Third World War, West Africa did suffer terribly from the famine intentionally provoked by President Chang of the United States.
		West Africa's recovery from the 1982-1983 period accelerated in the 1990's, as the revival of agriculture and international trade coincided with an increase of remittances from West Africans in the European Confederation.

	History of West Eurasia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		West Eurasia is an area bounded by the Sahara and the Indian Ocean to the south, the Atlantic to the west, and the Arctic Ocean to the north.

		The earliest known such central expansion out of the steppe is that of the Indo-Europeans which spread their languages into the Middle East, India, Europe, and in the Tocharians to the borders of China.
		Throughout their history, up to the development of gunpowder all the four areas would be repeatedly menaced by the nomads from the steppe.

	Migratory Birds and Spread of West Nile Virus in the Western Hemisphere
		We present an overview of the association of West Nile virus with birds, focusing in particular on the advent and movement of the virus in the Western Hemisphere.
		West Nile virus was first isolated and identified as a distinct pathogen from the blood of a woman in the West Nile region of Uganda in 1937 (10).
		Furthermore, although the virus may remain enzootic for years awaiting environmental conditions that favor an epidemic (36), the usual pattern in southern Eurasia is one of isolated outbreaks, apparently resulting from importation of active virus by migratory birds into an area with appropriate climatic, vector, and amplifying host conditions (7).

		Only the distinct history of every concrete ethnos and super-ethnos is real, and the reason is that each of them has its own passionate energy, its own behavioral stereotypes, and its own system of values.
		The so-called "common history" is only a mechanical sum of the different super-ethnos' history knowledge, because, from the ethnological point of view, the mankind is not a phenomenological community.
		What happened in Russia at the beginning of the 20th century was the subject of the west European history at the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th century.

	Foreign Affairs - How the West Won: History That Feels Good Usually Isn't - David Frum
		Of the five major and the nine minor domesticatable animals, 13 are indigenous to Eurasia, one (the llama) is indigenous to South America, and none are indigenous to North America, Australasia, or sub-saharan Africa.
		But while writing quickly spread throughout Eurasia, it was unable to make the much shorter hop from Mexico, which had a writing system, to the Andes or the mouth of the Mississippi, where sophisticated agricultural societies could have made use of it.
		History should not be written with the intent to help: it is scholarship, not social work, and its only criterion of success is truth.

		Ancient history, in contrast, has suffered relatively little thanks to its location predominantly in history departments and the recent expansion of its place in K–12 public education as a result of the adoption of new standards based social studies curricula in various states.
		Two years earlier, West had pointed out that a textbook "should give room only to incidents and movements which the student—with the teacher's aid—can articulate with the life of to-day, or which are essential to the understanding of conditions that can be so articulated" (1920: iv).
		The history curricula outlined in the California framework was made permanent with the adoption of legislatively mandated subject matter content standards in history by the California State Board of Education in 1998.

		For Guha, agency among people in the hills is embedded in histories of interaction, conflict, and negotiation among different groups in the hills and the plains, within a long history of what used to be called "integration" or "the agrarian system," now extended by Guha to embrace the mountains as well as the plains.
		The history of the Bhils is therefore both a separate, localized, subaltern history and also a part of a history of the Bhils' connectedness to other localities of power and identity, each of which has its own internal history of agency and identity.

		Throughout their history, up to the development of gunpowder (A mixture of potassium nitrate, charcoal, and sulfur in a 75:15:10 ratio which is used in gunnery, time fuses, and fireworks) all the four areas would be repeatedly menaced by the nomads from the steppe.
		The Iron Age ((archeology) the period following the Bronze Age; characterized by rapid spread of iron tools and weapons) made large stands of timber essential to a nation's success because smelting iron required so much fuel, and the pinnacles of human civilizations gradually moved as forests were destroyed.
		In part this is linked to technological developments, such as the mouldboard plough (A farm tool having one or more heavy blades to break the soil and cut a furrow prior to sowing), that made life in once retarded areas more bearable.

		Later on, we all know the history of the French Revolution, turning against the Church, and eventually the faith of the Church with the "Cult of Reason." A generation before Frederick the Great of Prussia was an openly irreligious and heathen autocrat (though he came from a Calvinist family who ruled a Lutheran land).
		This is the ordinary domain of history; and Diamond is wrong to dismiss it as a mere reflection of differences of population densities arising from the initial domestication of different plants and animals in different parts of the world.
		As such, the Church is often presented in High School history classes and histories for popular consumption as an oppressor of totalitarian dimensions, one that smothered all free thought, all inquiry, all science, and all knowledge until the bright light of the Reformation brought tolerance and pluralism.

	Eurasia
		Eurasia is alternatively considered to be a continent, or a supercontinent composed of the continents of Europe and Asia.
		This is controversial, as many historians perceive much of Southern Europe, South Asia and West Asia as historically closer to each other than either being close to their northern counterparts, creating a very accurate South Eurasia.
		The earth sciences, with a more precise definition of continent, more frequently consider Eurasia to be a continent in and of itself.

		In the end, the principal virtue of studying fire in Caribbean history is that it emphasizes and underscores the material circumstances of lives lived there in the past.
		To be sure, most West Indians in the late 1800s lived their entire lives on a single island.
		So far as most local British officials and British planters in the islands were concerned, a withdrawal of the regular British troops, who had always been on hand or at least nearby to protect them from their own fl laborers, was, to say the least, unsettling.

		During this period West Virginia was a tropical coastal swamp covered by forests of primitive trees which lived, died, and accumulated to form thick peat beds.
		The Jurassic Period followed (213 million years ago) marked by the onset of sea floor spreading which caused a dramatic resurgence in continental drift, culminating in the gradual breakup of the supercontinent.
		The study of continental drift, it's history and the forces that cause it, constitutes the branch of geology known as Plate Tectonics.

	Did geography give Eurasia an advantage? - World History & Geography
		According to Diamond, Eurasia's advantages lay in prehistory when Eurasia was endowed by nature with a large suite of domesticable plants and animals and a long east-west orientation that facilitated the exchange of species, technologies and diseases.
		You are less convinced about his thesis that Eurasia's east-west orientation provided a relative advantage regarding the diffusion of technologies, etc. I believe you acknowledged that the axis theory does seem to apply in some instances; maize, for example.
		The key point in Diamond is that Eurasia had a larger suite of potentially domesticable animals; it did not have more plants and animals generally than the Americas (it probably had and has fewer plants, maybe fewer animals).
