Answer: An air battle above the English Channel to prepare for an invasion of Britain.
It was an aerial battle as the Germans sent their air force to drop bombs on Britain.
Many civilians lost their lives and various buildings were destroyed but thanks to the leadership of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, the British people withstood the bombardment and the Royal Air Force fought back with U.S. support preventing Germany from conquering Britain.
I would say that the probable order of the cartographic events would be 1) a first attempt at a world map in the 5th and 6th centuries 2) the travels of Marco Polo 3) the Mercator projection in the mid 1500's and finally the 4) Robinson projection in 1963.
Answer:
Edward the Confessor died on 5 January 1066. He had no children. Three men wanted to be king of England. Each man thought he had the best claim to the throne. The next king of England would have to win it in a war. Who do you think had the best claim to the throne?
Explanation:
Harold Godwinson, Earl of Wessex
Harold was a powerful and rich English nobleman. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Edward named Godwinson as his successor on his deathbed. The next day, the royal council, known as the Witan, met and declared Godwinson king. An English king was proclaimed by the Witan - this gave Harold Godwinson the only claim to the throne by right.
William, Duke of Normandy
The Norman chroniclers reported that Edward had promised his distant relative, William, the throne in 1051. William was the only blood relative of Edward, but the English throne was not hereditary anyway. Claims that Edward promised the throne were probably made up by the rival sides after the event. The Bayeux Tapestry, which was made after the Conquest, shows Godwinson swearing an oath of support to William in a visit to Normandy in 1064. William was supported by the Pope.
Harald Hardrada, King of Norway, Viking warrior
Hardrada based his claim on the fact that his ancestor, King Cnut, had once ruled England (1016‒1035). He was helped by Godwinson's half-brother, Tostig.

Hence, the electricity as we know today came over a hundred years after the Industrial revolution began.
