globel.neocities.org is a website where I try to create a page for every single country on planet Earth. I don't cite sources anywhere on any of my pages nor can guarantee the validity of what's being said, globel is meant to be treated as a personal project and a personal project only. That being said, I will try to remain respectful of the cultures, countries, religions and ideologies I will attempt to represent.

Africa

Egypt is and has always been highly dependent on the Nile river which flows from the entire south to the north of the country, separating it in two.

Europe

When Spain sent out Christopher Colombus to the Americas and he came back telling the Spanish crown that he had reached Asia, or the Indies, they believed him. It was only after Amerigo Vespucci, a cartographer, landed in Brazil and realized that the descriptions of Asia and what he saw wasn't adding up. His findings in his book Mundus Novus made it clear that Columbus had reached a new continent, not Asia.

South America

Argentina('s elite) was very wealthy due to being able to export tons and tons of beef, wheat and wool produced on the extremely fertile Pampas grasslands.
