Answer:

London 17th Century

Explanation:

In 1600 Westminster was separate from London. However in the early 17th century, rich people built houses along the Thames between the two. In the late 17th century many grand houses were built west of London. Meanwhile, working class houses were built east of the city. So as early as the 17th century London was divided into the affluent west end and the poor east end.

In the early 17th century a piped water supply was created. Water from a reservoir traveled along elm pipes through the streets then along lead pipes to individual houses. However, you had to pay to be connected to the supply.

In 1600 people in London walked from one street to another or if they could afford it they traveled by boat along the Thames. However, from the early 17th century you could hire a horse drawn carriage called a hackney carriage to take you around London.

In the 1680s the streets of London were lit for the first time. An oil lamp was hung outside every tenth house and was lit for part of the year. The oil lamps did not give much light but they were better than nothing at all.

During the 17th century towns grew much larger. That was despite outbreaks of plague. Fleas that lived on rats transmitted the bubonic plague. If the fleas bit humans they were likely to fall victim to the disease. Unfortunately, at the time nobody knew what caused the plague and nobody had any idea how to treat it.

Plague broke out in London in 1603, 1636 and in 1665. Each time it killed a significant part of the population but each time London recovered. There were always plenty of poor people in the countryside willing to come and work in the town. Of course, other towns, as well as London, were also periodically devastated by the plague. However, the plague of 1665, which affected London and other towns, was the last. We are not certain why.

Why is it difficult for third parties to win?
notsponge [240]
In most cases in a race for a position, it is a democrat versus a republican. Take the 2012 Presidential Election. The incumbent, Barack Obama, faced off against Mitt Romney. However, Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico, also ran. One of the reasons he didn't do so well is he wasn't a main part candidate.
