	Colony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A colony differs from a puppet state or satellite state in that a colony has no independent international representation and the top-level administration of a colony is under direct control of the metropolitan state.
		The term "colony" came to mean an overseas district with a majority indigenous population, administered by a distant colonial government.
		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.

	Diphtheria in the Former Soviet Union: Reemergence of a Pandemic Disease
		The European Regional Office of WHO considers the outbreak nearly under control in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, the Russian Federation, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan; in the five remaining republics, control is improving, but continuing efforts are needed to stabilize the situation.
		In the Russian Federation, the resurgence was associated with a change in the predominant circulating biotype—from gravis (75% of cases 1975 to 1976) to mitis (60% of cases 1977 to 1981, 80% of cases 1982 to 1986).
		Similarly, to further raise childhood coverage, a shortened list of contraindications was adopted and the use of full-strength vaccine preparations in the primary series was increased.

	FRANCIA
		One consequence of the dominance of Latin was the universal use of the Latin alphabet, and the borrowing of Latin vocabuary for vernacular languages from Norwegian to Hungarian.
		Mexico, however, was not a European possession, except that French troops supported the Emperor Maximilian, brother of the Emperor Franz Josef of Austria.
		The lack of the former means that large capital transactions don't exist, and of the latter that a cash economy simply doesn't exist either for the daily life of most people.

		Some of the 19th-century groups were established and depended on the strength of their leaders, those which survived into the 20th century had to alter their way of life significantly, as traditional rural life evolved due to the industrial, economic and scientific progress in the larger society.

	The European Enlightenment (Mid 1600s - Late 1700s) By Miles Hodges (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		European absolutism, modeled by the French monarchy -- and mimicked by every other European monarch, including the British King George III -- was something that had no hold over the American colonists.
		European monarchs were like huge landowners, holding territory here and there -- including the people and livestock who dwelled and labored on those lands.
		Such has been the patient sufferance of the Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to expunge their former systems of government.

		A former heavyweight boxing champion in Uganda and a non-commissioned officer in the British Army there, Amin caught the attention of his superiors because of his efficient management of concentration camps in Kenya during the Mau Mau rebellion in the 1950s, where he earned the title of "The Strangler".
		The tenure of former President Park Chung Hee, who came to power in a 1961 military coup, exemplifies the kind of leader South Koreans have been forced to endure.
		European correspondents who visited Paraguay during his rule used the term the "poor man's Nazi regime" to describe the Paraguayan government.

		During the colonial period, this board was used at Touro Synagogue to prepare the dough for Matzoh (unleavened bread) used in the Passover season.
		After the Glorious Revolution of 1689 in England, the Church of England was legally established in the colony and English penal laws, which deprived Catholics of the right to vote, hold office, or worship publicly, were enforced.
		When a popular assembly, the House of Burgesses, was established in 1619, it enacted religious laws that "were a match for anything to be found in the Puritan societies." Unlike the colonies to the north, where the Church of England was regarded with suspicion throughout the colonial period, Virginia was a bastion of Anglicanism.

	Do we need a European Women's History List Disc/Mar 1998
		I should prefer to have one list, but European women (and indeed women from other areas: Middle East, Africa) feature relatively seldom that one cannot help wondering whether a separate list would not be the only way to stimulate more in-put in these areas.
		As it stands, the list is supposed to reach people in wide varieties of geographic and chronological fields but it is dominated by issues specific to American history (and often modern American).
		For this reason, the broad scope of the list may be better kept in place with an eye toward a more focused discussion on the part of those who desire it.

	The picture presented by parties of the nationalist Right in Europe is one of great complexity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Next is the Bürgerinitiative party (or the Partei Rechtsstaatliche Offensive [PRO]) of former judge Roland Schill, who enjoyed brief success with his populist campaigns against immigration and crime, even being elected senator for the Hamburg region—only to be dismissed in August 2003, after a complicated scandal.
		This is hardly surprising, given the very nature of nationalism, and that many European countries have historical grievances and territorial aspirations that are directly at odds with their counterpart parties in adjoining countries.
		It would seem that the European nationalist Right is going to be around for a long time to come—occasionally feuding, occasionally facing electoral reversals, often failing to capitalize on opportunities through lack of imagination or lack of resources—but nonetheless a force to be reckoned with.

	Introduction page
		The European empire is said to have held sway over more than 85% of the rest of the globe by the time of the First World War, having consolidated its control over several centuries.
		For that matter, other settler countries such as Canada and Australia are sometimes omitted from the category "postcolonial" because of their relatively shorter struggle for independence, their loyalist tendencies toward the mother country which colonized them, and the absence of problems of racism or of the imposition of a foreign language.
		The formation of the colony through various mechanisms of control and the various stages in the development of anti-colonial nationalism interest many scholars in the field.

		The European Commission, the European Union's executive arm, wants to offer former colonies in Africa and the Caribbean new banana import rules that would allocate sales licenses on a first-come, first-served basis.
		''The European Commission's "first-come, first-serve' proposal does not conform with international trade law and therefore cannot be a legal basis to end the banana trade dispute,'' Steven G. Warshaw, president and chief operating officer of Chiquita, said in a statement Friday.
		Chiquita's position is consistent with views expressed by the U.S., Latin American governments, producers in Africa and the Caribbean, ''by the plurality of operators within the European market, and by many EU states,'' Warshaw said.
