Answer EITHER A or B. A) Northern Europe is a large flat plain. Discuss ONE way that this plain has affected the history of Europe. OR B) Identify ONE geographical reason why Great Britain was the leading nation during the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Explain why this factor was important. (CIRCLE THE LETTER OF THE QUESTION YOU ARE ANSWERING) >> That was a good one, George. I will give it as a bonus question to my Cambridge class tomorrow.
