Europe has such an expansive history.

Countries and places have a history, a story, and a culture.

We may have to have a geo-political regrouping or major geo-political changes.

I am not naturally inclined to history or geography - maybe that's why I like to sing about it, because it helps me remember.

I had this feeling that, somehow, we ought to be teaching not just the history of particular nations or particular regions, but the history of humanity.

Yet, upon the whole, the space I traversed is unlikely to become the haunt of civilized man, or will only become so in isolated spots, as a chain of connection to a more fertile country; if such a country exist to the westward.

I'm not a historian. I'm a politician. What is important for us is that the countries of the region and the people grow closer to each other, and that they are able to prevent aggression and injustice.

Losing has nothing to do with geography.

I'm somewhat horrified because I don't think the young people today even know what history is. Some of them don't' even study History at school anymore or Geography and they don't know where one place is from another.

History is another country and might be full of fascinating incidents and places to go visit - but as a destination for emigration, it has some problems!
