Europe Questions

As I said in class, not all of these will be things you will find directly in the book, however, by the end of the weekend I would like you to be able to explain each of them using one or two short statements.  Do a little research and you’ll get there.  Feel free to collaborate with your classmates. Final work must be yours.

Questions:

  1. What are the physical boundaries of France?
  2. Under which tribe did France emerge as a nation?
  3. What about Paris’ location and geography made it a perfect place for a city?
  4. What effect will Roman Catholics in Name Only (RCNO) have on the morality of the French?  (This is more of a personal opinion question, but put some good thought and support behind your answer.
  5. What effect will the large migration of Muslim immigrants from the Middle East have on France?  Try to find a news article title from the last year that might give some answers.
  6. What effect will the Swiss Alps have on the economy of Switzerland?
  7. Why would Switzerland desire neutrality in international wars and affairs?
  8. What has allowed Switzerland to become a wealthy nation despite is low amount natural resources and small size?
