Those examples are few of many that make up the several astonishing features. This paper will examine ten characteristics that accomplish the adequate appreciation of this formidable place. Environment, Location, and regions are important topics to include when elaborating the characteristics of an area. I will discuss how this city has welcoming features. More popular topics for anywhere will always include politics, People, and religion. These few things can often make or break a city’s…

failure, the great powers of Europe (France, Sweden, Spain, and Denmark) began to intervene directly in the war. In 1630, the German Protestants finally received the support they had prayed for, as into the fray marched the “Lion of the North”, King Gustavus Adolphus of the Swedes, determined to free the German princes from what he, and they, saw as the tyranny of the Catholic Emperor.

countries involved had the opportunity to sign the Peace of Westphalia, which gave us Alsace. Soon after this we engage in another war, The War of the League of Augsburg, which lasted for 9 years and one we lost. With the Treaty of Ryswick, we lost most of our land.

Just north of the harbor lies a rocky beach with large cliffs only tens of meters from the sea, depending on tide level. Cliffs along the coast of southern California are prone to landslides due to their rock composition (mostly sedimentary) and high erosion rates from the sea but become increasingly stressed from overlying man-made structures and landscaping practices.…
