2 History Slides one of early Britain and one on early Europe and my specified slides on the coat of arms
Colonial expansion
England is amongst the oldest of the European imperial powers. Her imperial expansion is often assumed to have begun with the voyages of discovery in the sixteenth century; but her experience of dominion over other lands and people, with its catalogue of war, conquest, treaty, settlement, administrative and legal innovation, and governance began not overseas, but in the British Isles. The temptation to intervene in, dominate, and if need be to conquer, the Celtic lands of Wales, Ireland and Scotland proved too strong to resist, though not always easy to accomplish. This long process of conquest and settlement lasted from the twelfth century to the eighteenth, and England drew upon her even earlier history of consolidation and domination of the Anglo-Saxon lands, with King Alfred promoted as the ancestor of an English and English—British imperial ancestry (and with reference even to ‘an ancestry at once British and Roman Imperial’).1 England was a state and nation answerable only to God. From such confidence, from this early experience of dominion or aspiration to dominion, sprang the early modern British Empire, with its complex English—British identity, and with the prime mover, England, bent on pursuing its destiny in lands outside the ‘British island of England’
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is a church located in London that was originally built as an abbey but became a royal peculiar and cathedral. It has historically been the site of coronations for English and British monarchs since 1066. The abbey was constructed in the Romanesque and Gothic styles between the 11th and 16th centuries and contains the tombs of kings, aristocrats, and notable figures in arts and sciences within its walls.
London Web Task: Royal Albert Hall
The Royal Albert Hall in London held its grand opening on March 29, 1871, conducted by Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales. Each year, the hall hosts over 350 performances for a variety of events, including classical concerts, opera, ballet, awards ceremonies, and community events.

History and Development of Tourism for MBA in Tourism
The document discusses the history of tourism from ancient times to modern day. It describes how early travel was for necessities like food and trade. Empires like the Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans helped develop travel infrastructure and make travel more common for both necessity and pleasure. The Renaissance and Grand Tour era in the 1700s saw travel increase for education and culture. Thomas Cook is considered the father of modern tourism for organizing the first package tours in the mid-1800s, making travel more accessible and standardized. Major developments in transportation like trains, planes, and hotels expanded tourism globally throughout the 1900s.
Tower of London
The Tower of London was originally built by William the Conqueror as a fortress to control rebellious Londoners after the Norman invasion. Over the centuries, it was expanded upon by many monarchs and transformed into a complex containing palaces, barracks, and prisons. The oldest and most prominent structure is the White Tower, built by William around 1078. Other notable buildings include the Bloody Tower, site of the alleged murder of the Princes in the Tower, and Traitor's Gate, where prisoners arrived by boat. The Tower has housed the Crown Jewels and been used variously as a royal residence, mint, observatory, and high-security prison.

History of tourism
The document provides a history of tourism from early travel for food and trade along fertile river banks to modern tourism. It describes how ancient empires like Egypt, Persia, Greece, and Rome helped develop travel infrastructure and make travel easier. The Renaissance and Grand Tour in the 1700s saw the rise of travel to Europe for education. Thomas Cook is considered the father of modern tourism, organizing the first package tours in the mid-1800s and making travel arrangements easier. Several milestones in transportation further advanced tourism, such as passenger trains, steamboats, airplanes, and jet airliners. International organizations now coordinate global tourism standards and practices.
The history of museums
The earliest recorded museum was in Mesopotamia in 530 BC. Libraries and museums were closely linked, such as the famous library in Alexandria, Egypt. Early museums were created by wealthy individuals to preserve artifacts for family and later the public. The first public museum was the Cabinet of Curiosities in Philadelphia in 1786, displaying portraits and mammoth bones. In the 19th century, industry funding allowed entrepreneurs to establish idiosyncratic collections. Museums continue making decisions about what to display or store, ranging from individual caprice to board judgments. P.T. Barnum's museum blended education and entertainment, retaining popularity. Modern museums strive for hands-on engagement while preserving artifacts for future generations. The future

Feudal Europe castles lesson plan
Castles served an important defensive purpose during times of conflict in feudal Europe. They typically included several key features such as a moat to prevent intruders, a drawbridge to control entry, thick curtain walls to withstand siege weapons, a gatehouse with defenses like murder holes, towers for lookouts and prisoners, and an interior with buildings for living, working, worshipping, and more. These parts worked together to make castles secure fortresses that protected medieval lords and their people.
The Fall of Constantinople
The Fall of Constantinople in 1453 marked the end of the Byzantine Empire and nearly 1,500 years of Roman rule. The once mighty Byzantine Empire had severely declined by the 15th century. The young Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II sought to conquer Constantinople and built up his forces to over 80,000 troops. Despite calls for aid, the Byzantines received little help from Western Europe. After a long siege employing naval blockades and bombarding the city walls, the substantially outnumbered Byzantine defenders were overcome and Constantinople fell to the Ottomans.
