History
1 answer:
Jlenok [28]3 years ago
5 0

The history of writing in Britain begins with the Anglo-Saxons in the fifth century AD. With ties to Scandinavia and other North Seas cultures, ancient Anglo-Saxon writing, called futhorc, was a runic language. Flexible, new runes were routinely added such that, although it first appeared in England with 26 characters, by the time of its demise (by the 11th century AD), it had 33.

In the seventh century AD, the Latin alphabet introduced by Christian missionaries had begun to take hold. By 1011, a formal list of the Old English alphabet was made and included all of our present letters except J, U (or V)* and W. The ampersand and five uniquely English letters, designated <span>ond, wynn, thorn, eth </span>and ash, were included.

What was the effect of signing of the atlantic charter
Shkiper50 [21]
The signing of the Atlantic Charter was one of the first steps toward the establishment of the United Nations.

Winston Churchill (Prime Minister of the United Kingdom) and Franklin Roosevelt (President of the United States) met aboard naval ships off the coast of Newfoundland in August, 1941.  In the document that they issued, which became known as the Atlantic Charter, these leaders said that they thought it "right to make known certain common principles in the national policies of their respective countries on which they base their hopes for a better future for the world." 

In 1942, twenty-six Allied nations signed what was then termed a “Declaration by United Nations.”  The nations collectively promised their support for the Atlantic Charter’s principles -- things like the right of <span>peoples to choose their own form of government, and international cooperation to work for improvement in life and working conditions for everyone around the world.</span>
