  It almost goes without saying that Westminster Abbey is one of the foremost sites in Europe when it comes to being steeped in history. Dating back to the reign of William the Conqueror and the Norman conquest, Westminster Abbey has traditionally been the site of royal coronations, royal weddings, and royal burials, and anyone who enters can instantly feel that they are walking in the footsteps of some of the most influential figures in history, from Henry III to Queen Elizabeth I.  
  It’s impossible to fully appreciate the Tower of London without understanding its context. Like all fortresses, it was built to control and protect its surroundings, and the history of the Tower is bound up in the mutual histories of London and the Monarchy. The unfolding saga of war, imprisonment, glory, and treason in England can all be told through the lens of the Tower, and the lives that intersected with it. 
  When people think of the British Royal family, and more specifically where they live, the first image that often pops into mind is that of stately Buckingham Palace, with its changing of the guard and the occasional royal coach leaving or entering. Others may think of the royal country estate of Windsor Castle, a favorite of both Britain’s longest-reigning and second longest-reigning monarchs. And there was a time when both royal residences played second fiddle to a much better known home, the elegant Kensington Palace.  
  Big Ben is one of the most recognizable symbols of Britain, and indeed one of the most famous structures in the world. A quintessential part of London, every movie set in London features an establishing shot of Big Ben, and many guidebooks of London have the clock tower as its cover photo. London and Big Ben are forever linked in the consciousness of the Western world.

  Argentina - Historical Roots and...

  Argentina’s economic history is deeply intertwined with its political evolution and the social transformations that have shaped its national identity. From its early days as a Spanish colony to its modern-day status as one of the largest economies in Latin America, Argentina’s economic journey reflects both its potential and its vulnerabilities. The development of Argentina’s economy has been marked by periods of prosperity, such as during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and periods of profound crisis, including the devastating economic collapse of 2001-2002. This chapter introduces the key historical milestones that have influenced the economic landscape of Argentina, providing a foundation for understanding the complex dynamics of its economic structure. 
  The story of Argentina’s economy begins with the indigenous societies that thrived on the land long before European colonization. Spanish colonization, starting in the 16th century, brought profound changes, introducing new economic systems and reshaping local trade practices. Agriculture became the dominant sector under colonial rule, with the Spanish focusing on extracting resources and establishing a trade-based economy that centered on Buenos Aires as a port for export. However, the colonial legacy of resource extraction and the absence of industrialization laid the groundwork for some of Argentina's long-standing economic challenges. 
  Upon gaining independence from Spain in 1816, Argentina faced the daunting task of creating a stable economic framework. The early post-independence years were marked by internal divisions and external conflicts, which stifled economic development. However, by the late 19th century, Argentina began to establish itself as a key global agricultural exporter. The development of railways and ports enabled the country to transport vast quantities of grain, beef, and other commodities to European markets, ushering in a period of unprecedented economic growth.
