AFA History From the introduction of football at Public Schools and Oxford and Cambridge Universities around 1838, to the legalisation of professionalism in 1885, the game had been an amateur sport, administered by old boys of well-known Public Schools. AFA Clubs were entitled to enter FA Cups and FA Amateur Cups, and the AFA won highest recognition with representation on the FA Council, the International Selection Committee, and the Amateur Cup Committee. This decline was also reflected within the AFA where there was little development of club facilities or the quality of AFA football – leaving that to individual clubs, and a limited representative game schedule. www.afars.co.uk /history.htm   (1977 words)

Great Britain. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 Following the devastating Sept., 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States, the British government became the most visible international supporter of the Bush administration in its war on terrorism. The wartime alliance of Great Britain, the USSR, and the United States led to the formation of the United Nations and brought about the defeat of Germany (May, 1945) and Japan (Sept., 1945). The League of Nations, in which Britain was a leader, declined rapidly by failing to take decisive action, and British prestige fell further because of a policy of nonintervention in the Spanish civil war. www.bartleby.com /65/gr/GreatBri.html   (7942 words)
