Handover of Hong Kong
The handover of Hong Kong, or the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong (also called "the Handover" or "the Return" in mainland China) was when the country that controlled Hong Kong was changed from the United Kingdom to China. The handover happened on 1 July 1997. Before this day, British Hong Kong was controlled by the United Kingdom as a colony and a British Dependent Territory. After the handover, Hong Kong became a special administrative region (SAR) of China.
The handover was the end of British control of Hong Kong. They governed over it for 156 years. Because the number of people living in Hong Kong was 6.5 million in 1997, it was the majority of people (97%) living in all British Dependent Territories. Some people think that the handover was the end of the British Empire.
The United Kingdom controlled many parts of India by the 1830s. Their goal in this land was to grow cotton so that they didn't have to buy so much from the United States. They were not able to grow cotton, but they found out that they could grow poppies in India and turn them into opium. The British smuggled opium into China so that they could buy tea. This was one of the reasons the Opium Wars happened, when Britain and China fought with each other. After the Opium Wars, the two countries signed three different treaties with the Qing Empire, who controlled China at the time.
Britain was given the power to control the land of Hong Kong in these treaties:
Even though the British did not control the New Territories forever, this part of Hong Kong was developed as quickly as the other parts of Hong Kong. Because there was not enough land and natural resources in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, a lot of infrastructure was also built in the New Territories. When Britain and China began talking about what would happen to Hong Kong after 1997, many people thought it was very hard to separate the New Territories and the rest of Hong Kong and only give the New Territories back to China.

Snow in Florida
The U.S. state Florida does not get snow very often. Most of the time, major cities in Florida do not get snowfall that can be measured. Some areas in the far north are able to get snow more often. The National Weather Service says that the Florida Keys and Key West have not gotten a snow flurry in more than 300 years. In Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Palm Beach, only one snow flurry was recorded. This happened in January 1977. Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or Palm Beach have not had a snow flurry before or after that.
Florida's climate is low latitude and subtropical. Temperatures that are cold enough to have snowfall do not happen long. Frost is more likely to happen than snow because it needs a temperature of 32°F or 0°C, less than 2 m or 7 ft above sea level, no clouds in the sky, and a relative humidity of 65% or more. For snow to happen in Florida, a polar jet stream must go south through Texas and the Gulf of Mexico. A cold front has to stop around the south part of Florida and curve northeast to add very cold air into clouds.
The earliest known time Florida got snow was in 1774. People in Florida thought it was "extraordinary white rain." The first White Christmas in the northeast part of Florida was on December 23, 1989.

Book of the Consulate of the Sea
The Book of the Consulate of the Sea or Book of the Consulate of Sea is a 15th-century maritime commercial law treaty. Is a compendium of maritime law that governed trade in the Mediterranean for centuries. Of Catalan origin, it was translated into many languages and served as the basis for current international maritime law.i
The text serves as disclosure of the practice in the sea, commenting on the uses and customs as a manual. Considered an excellent primary source on the customs of the time, it collects a lot of information on the legal systems of the time in Europe. The"editio princeps" is in the Catalan language, and was printed in Barcelona in 1484, reprinted again ten years later. The first Italian translation is of 1519, it is the work of Antonio Blado and the second at Venice by Giovanni Battista Pederzano (1549), and then by Francesco Lorenzini (1564). If there are more than twenty editions in Italian and others in English, French, German, Dutch, and Spanish.
According to Chiner and Chacon, the Ordinances of the Ribera (i.e. seaside) (" Ordianationis Ripairiœ "), written in 1258, did not yet encode the maritime customs of Barcelona, and that the first reference to "Sea consuls" appears in Barcelona in 1282, just one year before the Consulate of the Sea was created in Valencia. Also note that the consuls of Barcelona had no independence assigned later on in the "Book of the Consulate of the Sea". Customs collected in the book would be in part coming from a Barcelona origin, but many would have been created and consolidated in Valencia, from which have been copied to the subsequently created consulates. According to Arcadi Garcia Sanz, the main difference between the consulates of Barcelona and Valencia would be the fact that the latter had from the start a "royal jurisdiction", and therefore has influenced so strongly in the other consulates in the fifteenth century.

Peace of Riga
The Peace of Riga, or The Treaty of Riga, (Polish:"Traktat Ryski)" was signed in Riga on March 18th 1921, by Second Polish Republic, Soviet Russia, and Soviet Ukraine. The treaty ended the Polish-Soviet war.
The Borders between Poland and Soviet Russia changed by the treaty stayed the same until World War II. They were changed by the Yalta Conference and the Potsdam Conference.
World war I changed the imperial borders of Europe. in 1918 after the Russian Revolution, they had unclaimed Poland in the treaty of Brest-Litovsk and WW1 ended when Germany surrendered. Poland was re-created after over 100 years of being split up by three countries.
The Russian civil war gave Poland the chance to regain the land controlled by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth that was taken by Russia during the split up of Poland. Meanwhile, the Soviet leaders wanted to respond to the leader of Poland, Józef Piłsudski's, moves into Ukraine, by attacking Poland, which the Soviets saw as a land bridge to Western Europe, that they could cross to expand Communism to the west. This started the Polish-Soviet war and ended in a victory for Poland after the battle of Warsaw, which made both sides, want to end the war. More defeats after the defeat near Warsaw made the Soviets want to end the war. The Poles, under pressure by the League of Nations, also wanted to end the war after they had taken a lot of land and their army was tired.
Peace talks started in Minsk on August 17th 1920, but since the Polish counter-attack moved closer, they moved to Riga, and continued on September 21st. The Soviets suggested two solutions, one on the 21st of September, and a second on the 28th, the Poles suggested another solution on October 2nd. Three days after, the Soviets, suggested a change to the polish offer, and the Poles accepted. An end to the war was signed on the 12th of October, and war actually ended on the 18th of October 1920. The leading negotiators were, Jan Dąbski from Poland and Adolph Joffe from the RSFSR(Soviet Russia). The Soviets did not let the non-communist Ukrainian leaders to be in the negotiations.
The Soviets' military problems made them give up lots of the land they were arguing over. But to lots of other people it looked like Poland lost the war. Most of the polish negotiators were members of the National Democrats, who were Piłsudski's political enemies. The National Democrats did not want more than a third of the people living in the bigger Poland to be non-Polish, so they agreed to get less land than they would have gotten, even though many Poles would be left on the Soviet side of the border.
