This may help you:\nhttp://www.zum.de/whkmla/histatlas/europe/eu1550large.GIF\n\nThat is a map of Europe from 1550.  That lists 32 different divisions.  That is not an exact number though, it may depend on the exact year and what exactly you are considering to be "Europe."

I was also taught that there were 7:\n\nNorth America, South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, Antarctica, Australia.\n\nI was a student in American schools. I have also heard of the "Eurasia" concept of combining Europe and Asia.  In truth Europe and Asia are ONE continent but because of cultural and physical reasons (meaning Race), early Europeans who first listed the continents wanted to distinguish themselves from Asians and declared Europe a separate continent.

yes, I am certainly aware of this.  North America has 3 countries, Central America has 7 or 8 (I forget) and South America has a lot (sorry, I don't know that either).\n\nI think it all started when we called ourselves The United States of America.  We were already refered to as "The Americans" in England (since England owned the Colonies and Canada I guess it was a natural thing to do when refering to the far away place.  We still do it today when we speak of African or Asian people).\n\nIt isn't so much of a stereotype as it is a missuse of words.

That is a heck of a question.  First of all, that covers 150 years of history!!!\n\nSo the answer is, lots happened!\n\nI can only do this for you...\n\nI hope you know what years you are looking for! (If not, you'll have to cross check by typing in "Elizabethan and Jacobean" and seeing what years they were in. There's only so much I can do!)

Yes, that's true. There are currently 207 countries in the FIFA, but only 191 in the United Nations.

Good question. I think Europe and Asia were separate but did not slam into each other as hard as India has slammed into Asia. Also India is still called a Sub-Continent  by some. Also some people do not think of Austrailia as a continent but as an island. 9 continents, I don't know about that. Just 7 that we have now.

The 13 colonies were all founded by European countries. Basically, the more land you had, the richer you were. So land in the Americas was important. \n\nThe Europeans came for :\n\nGold/Wealth\nGod (to spread their religion)\nGlory of the country.\n\nThey were aslo hoping to establish trade.\n\nJamestown, the 1st colony was established in, 1609.\nThe pilgrims came in the mayflower in 1620

1630 to 1865, that's a long time, I guess the answer is Yes.\nTry:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/17th_century\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/18th_century\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19th_century\n\nalso, try to get the impact of renaissance along the 17th century up to the 19th century. i can tell you that in south east asia, it played a huge impact especially by christianity. islam made a big difference during the 10th century up to the 16th century and hiduism and buddhism were before that. the understanding of god's role also influenced the politics of the countries in those region. all the best!
