EUROPE

“History is not just about dates and quotations…It’s about everything. It’s about life history. It’s human…We have to teach it that way. We have to read it that way. It’s about art, music, literature, money, science, love – the human experience.”  – David McCullough 

 Wander the continent of castles, cathedrals, and chocolate. Europe is located completely in the northern hemisphere. There are 44 capital cities within its boundaries, but there are 50 countries if those lying partially in Asia are counted. It is the richest of all the continents. The Vatican City, the smallest country in the world, is completely surrounded by the city of Rome. France entices the most tourists to visit each year. Europeans consume 50% of the world’s chocolate.

Fables and fairytales delight and instruct the children of this region. Princesses, knights in shining armor, dragons, castles, and magic inspire a rich world of fairytales.
