Russian often claimed to be an heir to : Roman and Byzantine empire
They made this claim based on the continuity of orthodox church in Russia after the fall of Constantinople in 1453 , and based on their ambition to rule in European continent

ace solo 50 años, en Estados Unidos, los negros, ese era su nombre, no afroamericanos, eran linchados por fanáticos blancos. En los Estados del Sur, el Ku Klux Klan quemaba sus propiedades y bombardeaba sus iglesias, y las cruces de esta organización racista ardían amenazantes por las noches; la segregación racial se practicaba en universidades y escuelas, en las estaciones de autobuses y trenes todavía había salas separadas para las dos razas, también estaban segregados los lavabos públicos. La abrumadora mayoría blanca, algo que también pertenece ya al pasado, mantenía a los negros como ciudadanos de segunda violentando los derechos humanos y la doctrina de la libertad sobre la que se había construido el país; la policía utilizaba la máxima brutalidad e incluso el crimen contra los negros; eran frecuentes las desapariciones de luchadores por los derechos civiles mientras hacían campaña por Estados sureños como Alabama y Misisipi, que luego aparecían torturados y asesinados, a manos de los mismos sheriffs encargados de mantener el orden. Un negro había muerto desangrado en Alabama porque el conductor, blanco, de la ambulancia que acudió a la llamada se negó a recogerle.
The basic principals of Uniformitarianism were enough to give geologists a sequencial history of the earth but absolute dating using isotope data from igneous rocks gathered using several different techniques (strontium/rubidium, parent/daughter isotope decay rates) and with the combination of these two geologists were able to develop the geological time scale.

The Canadian Shield, one of the world’s largest geologic continental shields, centred on Hudson Bay and extending for 8 million square km (3 million square miles) over eastern, central, and northwestern Canada from the Great Lakes to the Canadian Arctic and into Greenland, with small extensions into northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and New York, U.S. The Canadian Shield constitutes the largest mass of exposed Precambrian rock on the face of Earth. The region, as a whole, is composed of ancient crystalline rocks whose complex structure attests to a long history of uplift and depression, mountain building (orogeny), and erosion. Some of the ancient mountain ranges can still be recognized as a ridge or belt of hills, but the present appearance of the physical landscape of the Canadian Shield is not so much a result of the folding and faulting and compression of the rocks millions of years ago as it is the work of ice in relatively recent geologic time. During the Pleistocene Epoch (2.6 million to 11,700 years ago), the vast continental glaciers that covered northern North America had this region as a centre. The ice, in moving to the south, scraped the land bare of its overlying mantle of weathered rock. Some of this material was deposited on the shield when the ice melted, but the bulk of it was carried southward to be deposited south and southwest of the Canadian Shield. The resulting surface consists of rocky, ice-smoothed hills with an average relief of 30 metres (100 feet), together with irregular basins, which are mostly filled by lakes or swamps. In places the old mountain ranges may be recognized by hills several hundreds of meters in height. The northeastern portion, however, became tilted up so that, in northern Labrador and Baffin Island, the land rises to more than 1,500 metres (5,000 feet) above sea level. :)
