Eddard `` Ned '' Stark of House Stark , Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North , becomes the Hand of the King after Lord Jon Arryn 's death . He is known for his sense of honor and justice . He took part in Robert 's Rebellion after his sister Lyanna was kidnapped by Crown Prince Rhaegar Targaryen . When Ned 's father and brother went south to reclaim her , the `` Mad King '' Aerys Targaryen burned both of them alive . Ned and Robert Baratheon led the rebellion to unseat him from the throne . As the show opens , Ned has been content to remain in the north , but after the death of Lord Jon Arryn , he is convinced that it is his duty to accept the position of Hand of the King . Ned is not interested in politics , and prefers to rule with honor and follow the law . While investigating the reason for the death of Jon Arryn , he discovers that all three of Robert 's children with Queen Cersei were fathered by Cersei 's twin brother Jaime . When Ned confronts Cersei about the truth , she has him imprisoned for treason after he publicly denounces Joffrey . Ned is convinced by Varys that if he goes to his death honorably , as he is prepared to do , his daughters will suffer for it . To protect them , he sacrifices his honor and publicly declares that he was plotting to steal the throne and that Joffrey is the true king . Despite Cersei 's promise that Ned would be allowed to join the Night 's Watch in exile , Joffrey orders Ned 's execution for his own amusement and later torments Sansa by forcing her to look at her father 's head . His bones are later returned to Catelyn in the Stormlands by Petyr Baelish , who laments Ned 's downfall and that he was too honorable to seize power through force , rather insisting the throne pass to Lord Stannis Baratheron , Robert 's younger brother . Baelish 's preferred course of action , revealed only to Ned , had been to seize Cersei and her children first and rule in Joffrey 's name as Regent and Lord Protector . Ned 's execution , however , is not in vain , since he notifies Stannis of the truth of Joffrey 's parentage , and Stannis informs all of Westeros , which sets into motion the War of Five Kings against House Lannister . Robert Baratheon ( edit ) Mark Addy Main article : Robert Baratheon Robert Baratheon ( season 1 ) portrayed by Mark Addy . Robert Baratheon of House Baratheon , formerly a fierce warrior , became King of the Seven Kingdoms after leading a rebellion against Aerys II Targaryen . He was betrothed to Ned Stark 's sister Lyanna and loved her deeply , and she was kidnapped by Rhaegar Targaryen . Her father and another brother were killed when they went to King 's Landing to reclaim her , which resulted in Robert and Ned Stark 's revolt known as Robert 's Rebellion , whereupon the Targaryens were all slaughtered or routed from the Kingdoms . Since Robert 's family had closer ties to the former Royal family , this put Robert on the Iron Throne . Now , Robert has grown fat and miserable ; he has no more wars to fight , is surrounded by plotters and sycophants , hates and is bored by the constant work needed to manage the Kingdoms properly , and trapped in a political marriage to the scheming Cersei Lannister , whom he has never loved . He is unaware that none of his three children are his , but instead Jaime Lannister 's . Under his reign , the realm has been bankrupted , and Robert is deeply in debt to his wife 's family . Killed while hunting , he unknowingly leaves no rightful heir behind . His bastards are ordered dead by Joffrey , many of which are killed , and Gendry is subsequently forced to flee the capital . Jaime Lannister ( edit ) Nikolaj Coster - Waldau Main article : Jaime Lannister Jaime Lannister portrayed by Nikolaj Coster - Waldau . Ser Jaime Lannister of House Lannister is a member of the Kingsguard and an exceptionally skilled swordsman . He is the Queen 's twin brother and has carried on an incestuous love affair with her all his life , fathering all three of her living children . He truly does love his sister and will do anything , no matter how rash , to stay close to her . He is nicknamed `` Kingslayer '' for killing the previous King , Aerys II , whom he was sworn to protect . He was allowed to keep his post in the current Kingsguard as he and his influential father helped Robert win the war , but no one feels he deserves this post , which frustrates Jaime . Despite Eddard Stark 's animosity against him for forsaking his oath to protect the King during Robert 's Rebellion , Jaime has great respect for Eddard , whom he considers a great warrior and his equal . Unlike his father and sister , Jaime cares deeply about his younger brother Tyrion . In season two , Catelyn releases and sends Jaime to King 's Landing under Brienne of Tarth 's watch in exchange for a pledge to send her daughters home . On the journey , they are captured by the violent Locke , a man - at - arms under Roose Bolton , a Northern Lord . On their way to Harrenhal , now held by Bolton , the lowborn Locke cuts off Jaime 's sword hand to taunt his position and privilege . Jaime survives and is allowed to depart Harrenhal on condition that he acquits Bolton from any guilt . During his time in Harrenhal , Jaime reveals to Brienne on why he killed King Aerys II . Once freed , Jaime travels to King 's Landing with Brienne and disgraced Maester Qyburn , given by Bolton to tend to his injury , in tow . At the end of season three , they arrive at the gates and Jaime reunites with Cersei . In the fourth season , Jaime is fitted with a golden prosthetic hand and given a new sword , and is trained by Bronn in fencing with his left hand . Jaime is one of the few people in King 's Landing who believe in Tyrion 's innocence in killing Joffrey , and does his best to comfort his younger brother , while outright refusing Cersei 's order to kill Tyrion before his trial . When Tyrion is sentenced to death , Jaime frees Tyrion from captivity and arranges for him to be smuggled to Essos with Varys 's help . Jaime tells Cersei that he will travel to Dorne and bring Myrcella back . Myrcella says that she likes it in Dorne and does n't want to go back to King 's Landing . However , she eventually leaves with her uncle and Trystane , after Doran bargains to have his son take his seat on the Small Council . On the journey home , Jaime reveals his incestuous relationship to Cersei to their daughter , who then reveals she knows and is glad that Jaime is her father and hugs him , but moments later Myrcella collapses from poison and dies . In the sixth season , Jaime returns to King 's Landing with Myrcella 's body and sends Doran a letter requesting the heads of Ellaria , Obara , Nymeria and Tyene , but later hears that both Doran and Trystane were killed by the Sands . In response to Cersei 's humiliation by the Faith Militant , Jaime ponders murdering the High Sparrow and marching on the Great Sept of Baelor with the army of House Tyrell to forcibly rescue Margaery from custody . He is foiled , however , when Tommen declares an allegiance between the Faith and the Crown , and dismisses Jaime from the Kingsguard , clearly on the High Sparrow 's orders . Jaime is later sent to the Riverlands with Bronn to oversee the surrender of Riverrun . He parleys with Brynden `` The Blackfish '' Tully , to no avail , and then falsely threatens Edmure Tully with the murder of his baby son if he does not get his men to surrender the castle . The castle eventually falls to the Lannisters and Freys . Jaime briefly crosses paths with Brienne and Podrick , but allows them to leave peacefully . He returns to King 's Landing shortly after the Great Sept 's destruction , and enters the Red Keep to see Cersei being crowned Queen . In the seventh season , he commands the Lannister army , capturing Highgarden but suffering defeat when ambushed by Daenerys ' Dothraki forces and dragons . He clashes with Cersei over the threat from the Army of the Dead , and when she breaks her word over sending military support he leaves her and rides north alone . Catelyn Stark ( edit ) Michelle Fairley Main article : Catelyn Stark Catelyn Stark ( seasons 1 -- 3 ) portrayed by Michelle Fairley . Catelyn Stark of House Stark and House Tully ( née Tully ) , Lady of Winterfell , is the wife of Lord Eddard Stark . Born to the Lord and Lady of the Riverlands , she is the elder sister of Lysa Arryn , Lady of the Vale and Mistress of the Eyrie , and Lord Edmure Tully , Lord of Riverrun . After deducing that the Lannisters are responsible for the attempt on Bran Stark 's life , she travels to King 's Landing to warn Ned , and on her return trip has a chance encounter with Tyrion Lannister . Since Catelyn does not know about Tyrion 's complete innocence , she decides to take him captive because she believes that he is behind the attempt on her son 's life . She takes him to her sister , Lysa Arryn , so that he can be brought to justice but is not successful , as Tyrion is found innocent after a trial by combat . After her husband is arrested and her eldest son Robb goes to war for his release , she joins her son 's war council . Upon learning that her husband was executed by orders of King Joffrey , she vows to her son Robb that the Lannister family will pay with their lives . Throughout the second season , she aids her son Robb in the rebellion by advising him and attempting to broker alliances . While trying to form an alliance with Renly Baratheon , another claimant to the Iron Throne , she takes Brienne of Tarth into her service as an armswoman after Renly 's assassination . She frees Jaime Lannister , a valuable hostage to the Starks , in an attempt to exchange him for her captive daughters . Robb , feeling betrayed by what his mother has done , puts her under house arrest . Catelyn travels north with her son to her father 's funeral at her childhood home of Riverrun . She is killed in the Red Wedding Massacre after her desperate ( and futile ) pleas to the Freys to spare her son , threatening to slit Lady Frey 's throat if Robb dies . She keeps her promise , and is herself killed moments later when `` Black '' Walder Frey cuts her throat to the bone . In season four , it is stated that her body was stripped naked and thrown into the river after the massacre as a mockery of House Tully 's funeral traditions . Though House Stark is stripped of all lands and titles by House Lannister as a result of Robb 's death and his ultimately failed rebellion against the Iron Throne , Catelyn and her son are later avenged in the sixth season and the first episode of season seven when her eldest daughter Sansa Stark and Sansa 's half brother Jon Snow successfully overthrow House Bolton and retake Winterfell and Jon is crowned the King in the North by the remaining Northern lords , wildlings , and Knights of the Vale , restoring Stark rule in the North in the process , while her youngest daughter Arya Stark returns to Westeros , murders Walder Frey , and later uses his face to disguise herself as him to poison all his sons and male descendants at the Twins , ultimately avenging the Red Wedding and exterminating House Frey . Cersei Lannister ( edit ) Lena Headey Main article : Cersei Lannister Cersei Lannister portrayed by Lena Headey as an adult and Nell Williams as a child . Cersei Lannister of House Lannister and House Baratheon , Queen of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros , is the wife of King Robert Baratheon . Her father arranged the marriage when she was a teenager , initiating himself as a political counselor for King Robert . The Lannisters are the richest family in Westeros , which is why Robert was interested in a marriage between them . Cersei has a twin brother , Jaime , with whom she has been involved in an incestuous affair from early childhood . All three of Cersei 's children are Jaime 's . Cersei 's main character attribute is her desire for power and her deep loyalty to her father , children , and brother Jaime . Cersei learns that her husband Robert is in danger of finding out that the children he sees as his heirs to the throne are not his . Robert meets his end as the result of a boar attack on a hunting trip , before Ned Stark tells him of the truth about his children . Cersei works quickly to instate her oldest son , Joffrey , on the throne , with her as his chief political advisor and Queen Regent . Joffrey quits listening to his mother , and by the beginning of the second season her father decides Cersei does not exercise enough control over her son , and her father sends his youngest son Tyrion as an additional political advisor . Cersei and Tyrion do not get along , and constantly try to undermine each other 's authority over the crown . As of the end of the second season , Tyrion has accumulated more sway over the Iron Throne , and has shipped Cersei 's only daughter off against Cersei 's will to be married to the prince of Dorne . In season three , she takes pleasure in Tyrion 's diminished position and taunts him for being forced into a marriage pact with Sansa Stark , only to be told by her father that he intends to marry her to Loras Tyrell . At the end of the season , the two siblings ponder at their respective marriages , and Cersei reunites with Jaime in her bedchamber as he unexpectedly returns from captivity . In season four , she has Tyrion arrested after Joffrey is fatally poisoned . It is implied that she knows Tyrion 's guilt is highly unlikely , but just wants to see him dead , though Jaime refuses to carry out the order . Indeed , at Tyrion 's trial , it is obvious that Cersei has manipulated the entire procedure so that the only witnesses ( herself , Lord Varys , Meryn Trant , Grand Maester Pycelle and Shae ) give either incomplete or entirely false testimonies to implicate Tyrion and Sansa further in the murder . When Tyrion demands a trial by combat , Cersei quickly chooses Ser Gregor `` The Mountain '' Clegane as her champion to diminish Tyrion 's chances of acquittal , and has Bronn betrothed to a noblewoman so that Tyrion can not choose him as his champion . Cersei 's wish comes true when Tyrion 's champion , Oberyn Martell , is killed by Clegane , but she still refuses to marry Loras , even threatening her father with revealing the truth about her relationship with Jaime and the parentage of her children . Tywin rebuffs her threats , though he himself is killed by an escaping Tyrion soon afterwards . Cersei attends Tywin 's funeral and later orders a bounty on Tyrion 's head . Cersei and Jaime receive a message from Dorne : a small viper statue with a necklace in its fangs . Cersei tells Jaime that the necklace belongs to their daughter , Myrcella , who was sent to Dorne by Tyrion . Jaime tells Cersei that he will travel to Dorne and bring Myrcella back . Cersei meets with two hunters who have brought her a severed head , though she is disappointed to find that it is not Tyrion 's head . Qyburn lays claim to the head for his research and the two walk to a small council meeting . With the office of Hand of the King vacant , Cersei tells the council that she will stand in temporarily until Tommen chooses a new Hand . She appoints Mace Tyrell as the new Master of Coin and Qyburn as the new Master of Whisperers . When Cersei tries to appoint her uncle Kevan as the Master of War , he declines , telling her that as the queen mother she holds no power , and has no interest in serving in a council filled with her sycophants . In defiance of Cersei 's `` orders '' , Kevan states that he will return to Casterly Rock until he hears direct word from Tommen that he is required . Tommen soon weds Margaery Tyrell . Under Margaery 's influence , Tommen drops hints that he would like Cersei to return to Casterly Rock , but she refuses , and confronts Margaery , who insults her . Cersei catches the High Septon being punished for entering a brothel by her cousin Lancel , who has become a member of the Faith Militant , an extremist group that worships the Seven . Cersei talks to their leader , the High Sparrow , and instates him as the new High Septon . The Faith Militant then aggressively puncture all barrels of wine and trash Petyr Baelish 's brothel . They also arrest Margaery 's brother Loras on the grounds of his homosexuality . Tommen , at Margaery 's insistence , tries to get Cersei to release Loras , but Cersei swears she had nothing to do with it . After a trial , Loras is arrested after a prostitute named Olyvar testifies against Loras . Margaery is also arrested for lying about Loras ' sexual orientation , and both are put in dungeons . All of this delights Cersei , who goes to see Margaery in her cell and brings her a bowl of venison stew . Cersei has one final talk with the High Sparrow about the accomplishments of the pair , but he soon reveals that Lancel has confessed everything ( in season one , Cersei had sex with him in Jaime 's absence ) . Cersei is subsequently arrested for adultery , incest , and murder ( it was her plan to get Robert drunk so that he would injure himself while hunting ) . She is only visited in her cell by Qyburn , who tells her that Grand Maester Pycelle has seized power of the throne , and that Kevan is serving as hand of the king . Cersei is distraught to learn that Tommen , anguished over his wife 's and mother 's arrests , has not been eating . Cersei is also visited by a septa , who orders her to confess to her sins . Cersei refuses , and she is hit by the septa . Weakened , Cersei is forced to lick the water off the floors of the cell . She eventually agrees to reveal herself to the High Septon , confessing her incestuous relationship to Lancel Lannister but refusing to admit more serious offences , which would be harder for the Faith to prove . The High Sparrow allows her to leave captivity in favor of house arrest in the Red Keep , pending the trial , but only if she agrees to do `` atonement '' for her sins by being shaved and walking naked through the streets of King 's Landing . Cersei endures the walk with great resolve , bleeding and covered in filth as she eventually reaches the Keep , where she reunites with her uncle Kevan , now Hand of the King , and Qyburn , who introduces her to the newest member of the Kingsguard , a freakishly large , silent giant implied to be the reanimated corpse of Gregor Clegane . In the sixth season , Cersei remains under house arrest and is not allowed to attend the funeral of Myrcella , who was ultimately killed by Ellaria Sand . Though her initial plan is to demand a trial by combat and name Gregor as her champion , she is foiled when Tommen falls under the control of the High Sparrow and abolishes the practice , stripping Cersei of her trump card . In desperation , Cersei has Qyburn look into an `` old rumour '' , which turns out to be the Mad King 's wildfire caches . On the day of her and Loras 's trial , Cersei destroys the Great Sept of Baelor with the wildfire and kills hundreds of people , including Margaery , Loras , Mace Tyrell , Kevan , Lancel , the High Sparrow and the entire Faith Militant , and also has Grand Maester Pycelle killed in his chambers . With her enemies out of the way , Cersei crowns herself Queen and names Qyburn as her Hand . In season seven , Cersei consolidates her position through alliances with the Tarlys and with Euron Greyjoy , who help her to capture Highgarden , destroy much of Daenerys ' fleet and take revenge on Ellaria Sand and the Sand Snakes . She tells Jaime she is pregnant and it pleases him when she says that she will name him as the father . Cersei agrees to Tyrion 's request for a parley with the Targaryen party , and is visibly shocked by the wight that has been brought south . She agrees to send a military force north to help the fight against the Army of the Dead , but reveals to Jaime that she has no intention of keeping her word . Jaime argues , and although Cersei threatens to have him killed she takes no action against him as he leaves her to go north . Daenerys Targaryen ( edit ) Emilia Clarke Main article : Daenerys Targaryen Daenerys Targaryen portrayed by Emilia Clarke . Daenerys Targaryen is the exiled princess of the Targaryen dynasty . Also called `` the Stormborn '' , she and her brother Viserys were smuggled to Essos during the end of Robert 's Rebellion . For seventeen years , she has been under the care of Viserys , whom she fears , as he is abusive to her whenever she displeases him . In exchange for an army , Viserys marries her to the powerful Dothraki warlord Khal Drogo , making her a Khaleesi , a queen of the Dothraki . Daenerys is at first afraid of her new husband but after learning the Dothraki language , she manages to get past their barriers . She begins to understand him and genuinely falls in love with him after learning Drogo is an intelligent leader and a kind man . After embracing the Dothraki culture , she becomes stronger and rebels against her brother . She later becomes pregnant with Drogo 's son who is prophesied by the Dothraki to be the `` Stallion Who Mounts the World '' . After her brother 's death and an assassination attempt by Robert Baratheon , Drogo vows to Daenerys that he will conquer the Seven Kingdoms for her and their unborn son . However , during their journey Drogo suffers from blood poisoning due to an infected wound incurred during a fight with a Dothraki tribesman . Daenerys is forced to seek the help of healer Mirri Maz Duur to save his life using blood magic . Mirri tricks Daenerys by using her unborn son 's life as a sacrifice to heal Drogo , leaving him in a permanent catatonic state , and forcing Daenerys to end her husband 's life . Losing both her husband and son , Daenerys punishes Mirri by having her burnt at the stake . She also lays the three dragon eggs she received as a wedding gift onto Khal Drogo 's body , then steps into the burning funeral pyre . After the fire extinguishes itself , the Khaleesi and three baby dragons , named Drogon , Rhaegal , and Viserion , are found alive and unharmed . Daenerys takes the baby dragons and the remaining tribe to gather new allies and reclaim the Iron Throne . She becomes the first female Dothraki leader . In season two , she is lost in the Red Waste , a stretch of barren land . She and her khalasar eventually make it to Qarth , where the nobles are more interested in her dragons than her conquering Westeros . When her dragons are stolen by Pyat Pree , she goes into the House of the Undying and retrieves them , killing Pyat Pree . In the second season finale , she imprisons her host Xaro Xoan Daxos for having helped Pyat Pree . Her horde loot Xaro 's mansion to buy a ship . Daenerys travels from Qarth to Astapor , a city in Slaver 's Bay , where she negotiates the purchase of elite eunuch soldiers called the Unsullied . She also meets the famed knight Ser Barristan Selmy , and accepts him into her queensguard . On her departure from the city , she frees the slaves and has Drogon torch its elders . By the end of the third season , although her power has not yet been tested , she has acquired the loyalty of tens of thousands of freed slaves from Astapor and Yunkai , her remaining Dothraki brethren ( and two former Westerosi soldiers whom she encountered through the Dothraki , who advise her ) 2,000 Second Sons cavalrymen , 8,000 Unsullied elite infantry , and three rapidly growing dragons . The stay in Slaver 's Bay has made her question her motives , however , and she takes up the cause of ending slavery as well , donning the honorific `` Breaker of Chains '' as the slaves hold her to the sky , praising her as their Mhysa , or `` Mother '' . Daenerys later frees the slaves from Meereen , the last of the slave cities in Slaver 's Bay , but realizes that she is slowly losing control of her dragons , especially when Drogon shows signs of aggression towards her when she tries to break up a fight between them over food . Aware that she does not have enough men to conquer Westeros just yet , Daenerys resolves to remain in Slaver 's Bay and rule as Queen for the time being . She eventually learns of Jorah 's original purpose , which was to spy on her for Robert Baratheon , and orders him to leave Meereen on threat of execution . After she receives too many complaints about her dragons , Daenerys , locks Rhaegal and Viserion of them in the catacombs beneath Meereen before searching for Drogon . Meanwhile , Daenerys faces a new threat to her rule in the form of the Sons of the Harpy , a resistance movement against her and the Unsullied . She considers freeing her dragons , but they attempt to attack her , making her realize that they are no longer loyal to her . After Daario and Grey Worm arrest a member of the Sons of the Harpy , Mossador implores Daenerys to execute their captive , but Barristan tells her of the Mad King 's actions against his enemies , which included burning them with wildfire while laughing . He asks her not to execute the captive without a fair trial , and she agrees with him . Mossador goes against her wishes , and kills the captive Son of the Harpy . Daenerys has him publicly executed , which leads a riot to break out between the old masters and the freed slaves . At night , Daenerys finds that Drogon has returned , but when she tries to touch his face , he flies away . Soon afterward , a group of Unsullied patrolling the streets of Meereen are stopped by a crying woman who points them to an alleyway . The Unsullied head in to investigate , but it is revealed that the entire affair was a set up after they are soon cornered by a group of the Sons of the Harpy . The Unsullied attempt to fight back , but the Sons of the Harpy kill many of them . Barristan Selmy sees the commotion and tries to help , killing many of the Sons of the Harpy , but gets badly wounded , and dies . Grey Worm also sustains serious but nonfatal injuries . Daenerys is furious after learning what has happened to Barristan , and rounds up the leaders of the great Meereenese houses . She takes them into the catacombs where she randomly has one of them shoved forward . The Meereenese lord is promptly killed by dragonfire from Rhaegal , and he and Viserion eat him . Daenerys then has all the lords arrested , including her former adviser Hizdahr zo Loraq , whom she decides to marry to win over the Meereenese nobles . To respect the culture of the region , she agrees to have the fighting pits reinstated ( she had previously declined due to her distaste for killing for sport ) . Hizdahr convinces Daenerys to go to one of the pits to see the contestants battling over who will go to the final competition . Daenerys is sickened by the bloodshed , and gets up to leave , but her attention is turned by one masked competitor who defeats all of the other competitors without killing any of them . This competitor turns out to be Jorah Mormont , who is trying to win over Daenerys ' favor after being banished . Daenerys orders the Unsullied to take him away , but Jorah announces that he has brought her a gift , and Tyrion Lannister reveals himself to Daenerys . After a round of questioning , Daenerys banishes Jorah once again , but takes Tyrion on as her adviser . On the great opening of Daznak 's Pit , Jorah resurfaces as a voluntary contender on the arena , but Daenerys refuses to stop the games to spare his life . Jorah eventually prevails and saves her life by impaling with his spear an attacker from the Sons of the Harpy , who appear in legions and attack Daenerys ' guards . Cornered at the midst of the arena , defeat seems immediate when Drogon returns , killing many Sons of the Harpy despite being wounded by several of their spears . Daenerys manages to rekindle their bond and climbs his back , riding off into the distance to a stunned crowd . She roams the Great Steppe north of the city , where Drogon seems reluctant to obey her commands or even hunt for food . Strolling about on her own , Daenerys is faced with an incoming Dothraki khalasar of great numbers , and after dropping a ring to the ground to leave a trail , she is surrounded .

Ser Jorah Mormont of House Mormont is an exiled knight in the service of Daenerys Targaryen and the son of Jeor Mormont of the Night 's Watch . To fund his wife 's extravagant lifestyle , he sold poachers on his land to slave traders , which is illegal in the Seven Kingdoms . Rather than face punishment by Lord Stark , he fled to Essos and learned the lifestyle of the Dothraki who embrace him as one of their own and know him as `` Jorah The Andal '' . Jorah serves as an adviser to the Targaryens on both political and cultural matters of both the Seven Kingdoms and Essos . Jorah is actually spying on the Targaryens for Lord Varys in exchange for a pardon on his crimes . But after learning more about Daenerys , Jorah falls in love with her and decides to protect and help her regain the Iron Throne . After she is widowed , he remains with her and becomes the first knight of her Queensguard . He serves Daenerys as an adviser throughout the second season and tries to help her claim her birthright as queen of the Seven Kingdoms . In season three , he plays an important part in the capture of Yunkai , together with Unsullied commander Grey Worm and Daario Naharis , Lieutenant and leader of the Second Sons . Led by Daario , the trio infiltrates the city and kills a number of Yunkish guards to open a gate , ensuring the capture of Yunkai . Jorah later assists Daenerys and her army in conquering Meereen , and later informs her of Joffrey 's death , but at the same time dissuades her from invading King 's Landing , since she is not strong enough to take all of Westeros yet . When Daenerys appears to begin a romantic relationship with Daario , Jorah voices his disapproval . Daenerys eventually discovers that Jorah 's original mission was to spy on her for the `` usurper '' Robert Baratheon , which led to her and her unborn son almost being killed by the wine merchant in Vaes Dothrak , and exiles him from Meereen on the threat of death . Jorah subsequently departs alone . He runs into Tyrion Lannister in Volantis , kidnapping him to deliver to `` the Queen '' , meaning Daenerys . Sailing through the ruins of Valyria , the couple are assaulted by stone men long decayed by greyscale , and Jorah is seemingly infected by the disease as one of the stone men touches his hand . He drags Tyrion safely to land , where the couple are captured by pirates . Tyrion convinces them to take them to Meereen to be sold as slaves in the fighting pits , where they are bought by master Yezzan zo Qaggaz , and successfully escape during a tourney . Upon seeing Jorah again , Daenerys orders him taken away . Tyrion manages to convince her of his worth and urges her to take him as her adviser , upon which he advises her , correctly in his opinion , to have Ser Jorah banished for his treason , having concealed the true nature of his service to her although he had several chances of doing so . Jorah is exiled a second time , and returns to Yezzan , wishing to fight in the pits before the Queen to see . He does so , and eventually emerges as the victor ; brandishing his spear , he impales an assassin from the Sons of the Harpy about to stab Daenerys , and protects her as she is forced to flee into the pit as more harpies emerge . They are eventually saved by Drogon , who absconds Daenerys on his back , and Jorah resolutely decides to track her into the wild to wherever she has gone , joined by Daario Naharis , while Tyrion stays behind to govern Meereen . They track her to Vaes Dothrak and witness Daenerys kill all the khals and take control of the Dothraki . Daenerys , however , learns of Jorah 's greyscale infection , and orders him to find a cure and then rejoin her cause . At the Citadel in Oldtown , Samwell Tarly defies orders to subject Jorah to a dangerous and painful cure . It is successful and Jorah returns to Daenerys , who revokes his banishment . Jorah goes north of the Wall with Jon Snow to capture a wight . He refuses Jon 's attempt to gift him Longclaw , the Mormonts ' ancestral valerian steel sword , as he had brought dishonour on the Mormont name . Petyr `` Littlefinger '' Baelish ( edit ) Aidan Gillen Main article : Petyr Baelish Petyr Baelish ( seasons 1 -- 7 ) portrayed by Aidan Gillen . Lord Petyr Baelish , nicknamed `` Littlefinger , '' is the Master of Coin in King Robert Baratheon 's Small Council . He grew up with Catelyn Tully and fought Ned 's brother Brandon for her hand . Petyr is a master manipulator who knows the ongoing affairs within the Seven Kingdoms thanks to his spies . While Petyr at first is assumed to be an ally of Ned , he secretly resents him for marrying Catelyn and so he betrayed him when he tried to arrest Joffrey and Cersei . Despite that , Petyr aims to take the Iron Throne to punish the powerful nobles who used to look down on him . In the second season , he convinces Catelyn to release Jaime in exchange for her daughters and brokers an alliance between House Lannister and House Tyrell . He then returns to King 's Landing with the Tyrell army in time to rescue the city . For his efforts , he is made Lord of Harrenhal , though the castle is held by Northmen . In season three , he discovers Ros is secretly working for Varys and gives her to Joffrey to be killed before departing to the Eyrie , where he is to marry Lysa Arryn to secure her loyalty to the Iron Throne . He will thence be Lord Paramount of both the Vale ( as Lysa Arryn 's consort ) and the Riverlands ( after the downfall of the Tullys at the Red Wedding ) , though he has yet to see Harrenhal . In season four , Littlefinger returns in secret to the area around King 's Landing . He has spent weeks in the Vale , and is confirmed to be getting married to Lysa . Petyr helps Olenna Tyrell orchestrate the assassination of King Joffrey at his wedding to Margaery , something Olenna wanted very badly as it would save her granddaughter from Joffrey 's beastly nature . This serves to strengthen his new alliance with House Tyrell . Petyr also gets Sansa Stark -- Ned and Catelyn 's eldest surviving daughter -- out of King 's Landing by ordering court fool and former knight Dontos Hollard to bring her to him . Under the guise of making payment , Petyr has Dontos killed by his archers to silence him . He also begins acting as a mentor for her , and promises Sansa she is safe with him . When asked what he wants by her , he simply says `` everything '' . When they arrive in the Vale , it is revealed that he and Lysa have been having an affair for quite some time , and that it was Lysa who poisoned Jon Arryn on Petyr 's request . Petyr and Lysa marry that same day , and loudly consummate their marriage . However , Petyr later confides to Sansa that the reason he had Joffrey killed was to avenge Catelyn , and goes as far as to kiss her , with Lysa looking on unnoticed . When confronted by Lysa , who in a rage attempted to kill Sansa , Petyr kills Lysa instead , calmly pushing her through the Moon Door -- a hole in the floor looking down hundreds of feet to the rocks below the Eyrie , and the preferred method of execution in the Vale of Arryn , incidentally -- to her death on the rocks below . Sansa stands up for Petyr when he is questioned by other lords and ladies of the Vale on the matter of Lysa 's apparent `` suicide , '' and confirms that Lysa did indeed kill herself , however , and he is cleared of all charges . As the new Lord Paramount of the Vale , Petyr then begins talking the lords and ladies into supporting Lysa 's sickly and mentally challenged son , Robin Arryn , though it is implied that his real intention is for Robin to die . In the fifth season , Petyr and Sansa depart the Eyrie for a place that Petyr promises Sansa that Cersei will never find her , leaving Robin in the care of Yohn Royce . At an inn Podrick Payne along with Brienne of Tarth sees Petyr and Sansa eating in the back of the inn , guarded by knights . Brienne approaches and pledge her life to Sansa but Petyr accuses her of Renly Baratheon 's murder , Brienne explains that Renly was killed by a shadow with Stannis 's face . Sansa tells Brienne that she does n't want her protection , and asks her to leave . Petyr attempts to have his guards take Brienne into their custody , but she flees with Podrick , stealing a horse and releasing several others . Petyr arranges a marriage between Sansa Stark and Ramsay Bolton so that Sansa can return to Winterfell , though Ramsay brutally rapes Sansa on their wedding night despite Ramsay 's promise to never harm her . After dropping Sansa off at Winterfell , he leaves for King 's Landing , where he provides a prostitute named Olyvar for Cersei to convict Loras Tyrell of his homosexuality . He also promises to march North with the strength of the Vale in his back to depose whatever victor comes out of the struggle between Roose Bolton and Stannis Baratheon , and swears to Cersei to bring her Sansa 's head if he succeeds . In return , Cersei promises to make him Warden of the North in addition to already claimed titles of Lord of Harrenhal and Lord Paramount of the Vale . However , Baelish later betrays Cersei by providing Olenna Tyrell with information about her affair with Lancel Lannister , which Olenna then uses to have Cersei arrested by the High Sparrow . In season six , after hearing of Sansa 's escape from Winterfell , Baelish rides North to her aid and apologises for having underestimated Ramsay , but Sansa refuses to believe him and sends him away . However , Baelish later receives a call for help from Sansa to aid her and Jon Snow in retaking Winterfell from Ramsay , and he and the Vale Knights arrive in time to smash the Bolton army and secure victory for the Starks . He later approaches Sansa and admits that he desires to sit on the Iron Throne with Sansa as his Queen , but she turns him down . As Jon is declared the new King in the North , Baelish glares sinisterly at Sansa , clearly intending to take action against them . In the seventh season , he remains at Winterfell , where he continues to mentor Sansa in political intrigue . He sees Arya as a threat and through manipulation and poisoned words he encourages Sansa and Arya to think the worst of each other . He does not see the threat from Bran , who can see all of his past actions . Baelish is startled to be put on trial for treason and murder . Sansa accuses him of murdering Jon and Lysa Arryn and setting family member against family member . Bran tells that the dagger with which he was nearly killed was Baelish 's , and that Baelish put a knife to Ned Stark 's throat . Arya waits for Sansa 's judgement and then slit 's Baelish 's throat . Viserys Targaryen ( edit ) Harry Lloyd Main article : Viserys Targaryen Viserys Targaryen ( season 1 ) portrayed by Harry Lloyd . Viserys Targaryen is the exiled prince and heir of the Targaryen dynasty . Known as `` The Beggar King '' for his search for an army to recapture his throne . A narcissist , he is arrogant and self - centered , caring only about himself and looking down on others especially to his sister Daenerys . In exchange for an army to help regain the Iron Throne , Viserys marries off his sister to the powerful Dothraki warlord Khal Drogo and follows his horde 's journey to the Dothraki capital to ensure Drogo will keep his end of the bargain . But as they journey , it becomes evident that Viserys does not have leadership skills to reclaim the throne as his arrogance and disrespect for the Dothraki does not win him any hearts . Furthermore , Daenerys , who he has always threatened throughout his life , starts to stand up to him . Realizing that Daenerys is loved by the Dothraki and her and Drogo 's unborn son is prophet to unite the world , Viserys realizes that it is not he but Daenerys who will reclaim the Iron Throne . In a fit of drunken rage , he threatens Drogo to give him his army now or he will kill his unborn son . Having enough of his behavior , Drogo kills Viserys by giving him a `` Golden Crown '' ; molten gold poured over his head . Daenerys listlessly watches her brother 's agonizing death , proclaiming that he was n't a true dragon , as `` fire can not kill a dragon '' . Daenerys later names one of her dragons Viserion , as a tribute to Viserys . Jon Snow ( edit ) Main article : Jon Snow ( character ) Jon Snow portrayed by Kit Harington . Kit Harington Jon Snow of House Stark and the Night 's Watch is the secret son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark , though raised as the bastard son of Lyanna 's brother , Ned Stark . In the first season , Jon joins the Night 's Watch . Jon is a talented fighter , but his sense of compassion and justice brings him into conflict with his harsh surroundings . Ned claims that Jon 's mother was a wet nurse named Wylla . His dire wolf is called Ghost due to his albinism and quiet nature . Jon soon learns that the Watch is no longer a glorious order , but is now composed mostly of society 's rejects , including criminals and exiles . Initially , he has only contempt for his low - born brothers of the Watch , but he puts aside his prejudices and befriends his fellow recruits , especially Samwell Tarly , after they unite against the cruel master - at - arms , Ser Alliser Thorne . He chooses to take his vows before the Old Gods of the North , and to his disappointment he is made steward to Lord Commander Jeor Mormont rather than a ranger . He eventually realizes that he is being groomed for command . He saves Mormont 's life by slaying a wight , a corpse resurrected by the White Walkers . In return , he receives Longclaw , the ancestral blade of House Mormont . When Eddard is arrested for treason , Jon is torn between his family and his vows . After Eddard 's execution , he tries to join Robb 's army but is convinced to come back by his friends . Shortly after , he joins the large force Mormont leads beyond the Wall . Jon is part of a small scouting party in the second season . When the party is overtaken by wildlings , Jon is ordered to appear to defect and join the wildlings so he can discover their plans . On affirming his loyalty to the King - Beyond - the - Wall , Mance Rayder , he travels toward the Wall with the wildlings and is seduced by one , the flame - haired Ygritte . Upon crossing the wall , he refuses to behead a farmer whose escape might alert the Night 's Watch of their coming , and is subsequently branded an enemy of the wildlings . Ygritte shields him from her comrades but ultimately confronts and injures Jon when he stops to drink . He manages to escape back to the wall , injured by three arrows , where he reunites with his comrades and informs the commanders of Mance Rayder 's plans . Jon subsequently resumes his training at the Wall and suggests an expedition to Craster 's Keep in order to kill the Night 's Watch mutineers who may tell Mance of the Wall 's weak defences if caught . Jon 's request is granted and he bands together a group of rangers to aid him , among them the new recruit Locke , who has actually come to kill Jon on Roose Bolton 's orders . Jon successfully attacks Craster 's Keep and kills the mutineers , while Locke is killed by Hodor during an attempt to kill Bran , who was captive at Craster 's Keep . However , Jon 's proposal to barricade the entrance to Castle Black to stop the wildlings from entering is denied . He survives the wildling attack on Castle Black , personally killing Styr and taking Tormund Giantsbane prisoner . In the aftermath , he departs Castle Black to hunt down Mance Rayder , giving his sword to Sam . He quickly locates Mance on the pretence of parleying , but he is found out . Before he is killed , however , Jon is saved by the timely arrival by Stannis Baratheon , who places Mance and his men under arrest , and accompanies Jon back to Castle Black . Jon later burns Ygritte 's body in the woods . In season five , Stannis attempts to use Jon as an intermediary between himself and Mance , hoping to rally the wildling army to help him retake the North from Roose Bolton and gain Jon 's support in avenging his family . Jon fails to convince Mance , and when Mance is burned at the stake by Stannis ' red priestess Melisandre , Jon shoots him from afar to give him a quick death . After that Jon is chastised by Stannis for showing mercy to Mance . Stannis shows Jon a letter he received from Bear Island , stating that former Lord Commander Jeor Mormont 's relatives will only recognize a Stark as their King . Ser Davos tells Jon that the Night 's Watch will elect a new Lord Commander that night , and that it is almost assured that Ser Alliser will win . Stannis asks Jon to kneel before him and pledge his life to him , and in exchange he will legitimize Jon , making him Jon Stark , and giving him Winterfell . In the great hall , Jon tells Sam that he will refuse Stannis 's offer , as he swore an oath to the Night 's Watch . After Ser Alliser and Denys Mallister are announced as possible candidates , Sam gives a speech imploring his brothers to vote for Jon , reminding them all how he led the mission to Craster 's Keep to avenge Commander Mormont 's death and how he led the defense of Castle Black . After the voting is complete , the ballots are tallied and show a tie between Jon and Ser Alliser . Maester Aemon casts the deciding vote in favor of Jon , making him the new Lord Commander of the Night 's Watch . To lessen the animosity between the two , Jon makes Ser Alliser First Ranger . Melisandre takes an interest in Jon , visiting him in his quarters and trying to have sex with him . Jon refuses , out of respect for Ygritte and his Night 's Watch vows . Jon makes plans to give the wildlings the lands south of the wall , known as `` the gift . '' He wants the Night 's Watch and the wildlings to unite against the threat of the White Walkers . These more liberal views are not taken well by the men of the Night 's Watch , in particular Ser Alliser and a young boy named Olly , whose village was massacred by wildlings . Jon then makes a trip north of the Wall to the wildling village of Hardhome , where he hopes to get the wildlings to join his cause . However , before many of them can get on boats to leave , a massive group of White Walkers arrives on the scene . A massive battle ensues , in which many wildlings are killed . The last remaining Night 's Watchmen and wildlings , including Jon , depart from Hardhome , defeated . As they return to the Wall , they are let in by Ser Alliser Thorne , who disapproves of his drastic action of joining forces with the wildlings . Shortly after , Jon sends Sam and Gilly to safety in Oldtown , approving of their relationship and Sam 's motives of keeping her safe . He is later approached by Davos asking for men , and later Melisandre , whose silence confirms Stannis 's defeat . That evening , Jon is met by Olly who claims that a range has arrived with knowledge of Jon 's uncle Benjen . However , Jon discovers that he has been fooled and a group of mutineers , led by Ser Alliser Thorne , stab Jon repeatedly , with Olly dealing the final blow , leaving him to die in the snow . In the six season , Jon 's body is discovered and protected by Davos and his loyal brothers . After the mutineers are dealt with , Jon is resurrected by Melisandre and has the mutineers executed before resigning from the Night 's Watch . Shortly afterwards , he is reunited with Sansa , who fled for the Wall to escape from Ramsay Bolton . Though initially reluctant , Jon decides to take Winterfell back from Ramsay after Ramsay sends him a threatening letter demanding Sansa 's return on threat of murdering Rickon . Securing help from several Northern houses , Jon attacks Winterfell and manages to overcome the Bolton army thanks to the Knights of the Vale , though Rickon is killed in the process . Jon breaches Winterfell and almost kills Ramsay , but takes him prisoner and leaves Sansa to finish him . In the aftermath , Jon is named the new King in the North by the Northern Lords . In season seven , Jon refuses to be as ruthless as Sansa and other lords expect , letting the children of the treacherous Northern Lords who had fought for the Boltons keep their ancestral homes . Believing that the North is not strong enough to stand alone against the White Walkers and their army , he goes to Dragonstone to persuade Daenerys Targaryen to help . She is hospitable and interested in an alliance but his refusal to bend the knee to her as a condition of the alliance is a sticking point . Jon meets Theon and wants to kill him but restrains himself because Theon had eventually helped Sansa to escape the Boltons . Later Jon appears to forgive Theon , telling the conflicted Theon that he can be both Greyjoy and Stark . Jon decides that the only way to convince Daenerys and the other houses of Westeros of the White Walker threat is to capture a wight and display it in the south . He takes a group of comrades north of the Wall and they capture a wight but are surrounded by an army too large to fight . Jon orders a raven to be sent and they wait on an island while thousands of wights line the shore waiting for the water to freeze . Daenerys arrives and most of the party climb on her dragon and are saved , but they are forced to leave while Jon is still fighting . Expecting to die , he is saved by the arrival of his uncle Benjen who sacrifices himself to send Jon to safety . Jon wakes on Daenerys ' ship , and tells her he will bend the knee . They make love . Meanwhile at Winterfell Sam and Bran share pieces of information until they both realise that Jon is the legitimate son of Rhaegar Targaryen and his willing bride Lyanna Stark , and that this makes him the rightful heir to the Iron Throne . Sansa Stark ( edit ) Sophie Turner Main article : Sansa Stark Sansa Stark portrayed by Sophie Turner . Sansa Stark of House Stark is the first daughter and second child of Eddard and Catelyn Stark . She was also the future bride of Prince Joffrey , and thus the future Queen of the Seven Kingdoms as well . Her direwolf is called Lady , she is the smallest of the pack . Sansa is naive and wants to live the life of a fairy tale princess and is unwilling to see the harsh realities of the kingdom 's politics and rivalries . Her fantasy begins to shatter when Lady is killed , and the situation continues to worsen when her father is arrested for treason . She becomes a hostage to the Lannisters in order for them to have a legitimate claim for the North . Her naïveté is finally shattered when King Joffrey executes her father despite promising her that he would spare him . Sansa is forced to put up an act or endure Joffrey 's cruelty . Throughout the second season , she suffers under Joffrey 's abuse until Tyrion puts a stop to it . By the season two finale , Joffrey breaks his engagement with Sansa to marry Margaery Tyrell . However , she is still a hostage ; but Petyr Baelish promises to help her return to Winterfell . In season three , she is married to Tyrion to secure the Lannisters the North should Robb Stark die . The marriage is unhappy and yet to be consummated , and after Robb 's death -- upon which Joffrey insists to be given his head to present to Sansa , a request coldly ignored by his grandfather -- she is unable to speak to him . In season four , Sansa has been mourning her family for weeks and is starving herself in depression . She attends Joffrey 's wedding with Tyrion and witnesses Joffrey 's death . Dontos Hollard immediately spirits her away from the wedding , moments ahead of Cersei 's orders to have her and Tyrion arrested . Dontos brings Sansa to a ship concealed in fog , and she is greeted by Petyr Baelish . Under the guise of making payment , Petyr has the fool killed by his archers , with Petyr explaining that killing Dontos was the only way to ensure his silence -- her disappearance when Joffrey died , the execution of her father , deaths of her family and years of torment at the king 's hand , will all be considerable motive for Sansa helping Tyrion murder Joffrey . Currently , a thousand of the City Watch are searching for her , Cersei thirsts for vengeance , and Tyrion himself stands trial . Sansa is assured she has finally escaped King 's Landing and is safe with Lord Baelish , who takes her to her Aunt Lysa for shelter . Lysa takes Sansa in warmly and has her betrothed to her son , Robin . However , Sansa realises the worst is far from over when Lysa , who is smitten with Petyr , accuses Sansa of trying to seduce him , and she discovers that Robin is a spoiled and rude child , slapping him at one point . When Petyr unexpectedly kisses Sansa , Lysa becomes enraged and nearly pushes Sansa through the castle 's Moon Door , but Petyr intervenes by pacifying Lysa and then pushing her through the Moon Door to her death before Sansa 's eyes , making Sansa realise that Petyr may have romantic or lustful feelings for her . Sansa speaks up for Petyr when he is questioned about his involvement in Lysa 's death , but Sansa reaffirms Petyr 's claim that Lysa killed herself due to her own instability and insecurities . Afterward she told Petyr that her reason to protect him in the hearing was because she knew he was the only person she could count on to protect her , demonstrated by his initiative in getting her out of King 's Landing while everyone else in power there only wanted to use her as a pawn . In season five , she and Petyr leave the Eyrie for a place Petyr promises where Cersei will never find her . At an In , Brienne of Tarth materializes unexpectedly and declares herself for Sansa . Petyr doubts that Sansa would want a sworn shield who let both of her previous masters die , even when Brienne reveals the true , somewhat unbelievable circumstances of Renly 's death . Sansa seems inclined to agree , pointing out that Brienne was present at Joffrey 's wedding , to which the warrior replies that neither of them wanted to be there . Sansa rejects Brienne 's offer of service and watches as she handily defeats the guards and escapes . Petyr tells her that he has arranged for her to be married to Ramsay Bolton , the son of Lord Roose Bolton . This will put her back in Winterfell , which the Boltons now occupy as a reward for their role in the deaths of Robb and Catelyn . Though Ramsay initially seems interested in Sansa , his psychopathic nature quickly shows through , and Sansa is disgusted . She is also antagonized by Myranda , the kennelmaster 's daughter , who is in a sexual relationship with Ramsay . Myranda frequently makes veiled threats to Sansa , and shows her what has become of Theon Greyjoy , who was Eddard Stark 's ward and whom she grew up with . Sansa is horrified to find that after Ramsay emasculated him , he has taken on a submissive , sullen persona called Reek . After Sansa and Ramsay are wed , he brutally rapes her while forcing Reek to watch . Later , Sansa attempts to talk to Reek , who is unresponsive to her attempts to make him act like his old self by repeatedly calling him Theon instead of Reek . At one point , Reek mistakenly lets slip that her younger brothers , Bran and Rickon , are alive , when she had assumed that they were dead . This realization gives Sansa hope in the midst of her unfortunate situation . As Stannis Baratheon 's army sneaks up on Winterfell and is greeted by the bulk of the Bolton forces , Sansa manages to escape her chamber but is stopped by Myranda , who threatens her with a bow . Reminding Sansa that she has nothing left to live for in Ramsay 's custody , she is unexpectedly saved by Reek , who breaks his spell of subjugation by throwing Myranda over the bannister . The Bolton 's return to Winterfell and , knowing the dire consequences Ramsay would have in place for the both of them when he finds Myranda 's body , the couple flee to the wall in terror , where they make the jump off the ledge . In the sixth season , Sansa makes it to the Wall with help from Brienne and Podrick and reunites with Jon , while Theon returns home . After Jon receives a threatening letter from Ramsay demanding Sansa back , Sansa and Jon decide to fight back against Ramsay and retake the North . Sansa briefly meets with Petyr Baelish , but turns him down for his role in handing her to the Boltons . Realizing that with their meager forces they are still outnumbered , Sansa writes to Baelish for help and he arrives in time with the Vale Knights to smash the Bolton army and help Jon secure victory . After Ramsay is killed , Baelish admits to Sansa that he wants her to rule alongside him as his Queen , but Sansa turns him down . When Jon is named the new King in the North , Sansa notices Baelish glaring at her . In season seven , Sansa finds some of Jon 's decisions infuriating but remains loyal to him . She maintains her support of Jon even when he leaves Winterfell against her advice and the Northern Lords ' objections , and even when some of them hint that they 're ready to drop their support of Jon and name her their ruler . Sansa is overjoyed to see Arya and Bran return to Winterfell , though she is unnerved by how much they have changed : Bran 's loss of humanity and Arya 's ruthlessness . Petyr Baelish sees Arya as a threat to his influence with Sansa and attempts to drive a wedge between the sisters . He appears at first to be succeeding but at some point the three Starks realise what Baelish is doing . Sansa pretends to believe Baelish as he insinuates that Arya is plotting her murder . Then to his surprise she accuses him of various crimes in front of the Northern Lords , before finding him guilty and allowing Arya to execute him .

He sends Theon to the Iron Islands hoping that he can broker an alliance with Balon Greyjoy , Theon 's father . In exchange for Greyjoy support , Robb as King in the North will recognize the Iron Islands ' independence .

He is killed in the Red Wedding Massacre , after witnessing the murder of his pregnant wife and their child . Lord Bolton personally executes Robb , stabbing him through the heart while taunting that `` the Lannisters send their regards '' , in fact a promise made to Jaime ( who had no knowledge of Bolton 's impending treason ) when leaving for the Twins .

Despite his position , he remains loyal to Eddard and is good friends with his sons Robb and Jon . While he has never questioned his position , he soon begins to have doubts after Tyrion tells him he is nothing more than a servant to the Starks and not everyone respects him . Nevertheless , Theon initially remains loyal to Robb after he goes to war with the Lannisters and supports his decision to have the North secede from the Seven Kingdoms and form their own kingdom . He is sent to the Iron Islands in Season 2 to seek a Stark alliance with the Greyjoys . However , his father criticizes Theon for accepting the northern lifestyle and rejects Robb 's proposal . Wishing to prove to his father that he is a true Ironborn , he joins his family 's invasion of the North . To gain the respect of his men , he ignores his orders to raid the shores and captures Winterfell . The situation worsens for Theon when he is forced to kill his old mentor Ser Rodrik Cassel and fakes the deaths of Bran and Rickon Stark to the people of Winterfell after they escape by killing two orphans . Regretting what he has done and with no help coming from his family , Theon decides to die fighting with his men defending Winterfell from a Stark force led by Roose Bolton 's bastard son . However , he is betrayed by his men due to Robb 's offer of clemency and safe return to the Iron Islands if they give up Theon . Theon is taken captive and kept in an unknown castle , where he is briefly tortured , but later manages to escape with the help of a serving boy who claims to works for his sister Yara . He is brought back to the very castle he escaped from , the serving boy proving to actually be his captor and torturer , Ramsay Snow , Lord Bolton 's sadistic bastard . Theon is subsequently brutally tortured , flayed and eventually emasculated by Ramsay , who forces him to rename himself Reek , and beats him until he submits to his new name ( before his emasculation he told Ramsay that he regretted betraying Robb and calls Ned Stark his `` real father '' ) . Theon 's penis is sent in a box to his father , with Ramsay threatening to mutilate Theon further unless the Ironmen retreat from the North , which Balon refuses . He states that as Theon defied him by attacking Winterfell , claiming him a `` fool '' and `` not a man anymore '' , to which Yara responds she intends to save her brother of her own accord . In season 4 , Theon has been freed from his restraints by Ramsay , but is forced to work for him as a servant and answer to the name Reek . Roose Bolton later orders Ramsay to launch an attack on Moat Cailin , an Ironborn - occupied fortress that is preventing him from entering the Northern lands , and to take Theon with him . Before they leave , however , the Dreadfort is attacked by Yara and a group of men , but Theon refuses to flee with her , believing it may be another trick on Ramsay 's part , forcing Yara to leave without him . As a reward , Ramsay gives Theon a bath and asks for his help in taking Moat Cailin . Theon masquerades as himself and tricks the Ironborn into opening Moat Cailin , leading to them all being flayed by the Bolton army , and subsequently accompanies the Boltons to Winterfell . In Winterfell , he rekindles his relationship with Sansa , who is to be married to Ramsay . On their wedding night Sansa is raped by Ramsay , who forces Theon to watch .

Euron boards Yara 's ship and captures her as Theon watches . He taunts Theon and challenges him to rescue Yara , but Theon jumps into the sea instead . Theon is found by some Iron Islanders , supporters of Yara who are disgusted with Theon for running away when his sister was taken . He returns to Dragonstone and meets Jon , who is furious at Theon 's many betrayals and only lets him live because of his eventual help for Sansa . Later Theon tells Jon how hard it was to be torn between his Greyjoy and his Stark allegiances . Jon , softening to Theon , tells him he is both Stark and Greyjoy . Theon meets Euron at the parley in the Dragonpit , an Euron taunts him that he still has Yara . When the few remaining Iron Islanders on Dragonstone announce they are planning on sailing off to be independent pirates , Theon urges them to help him to free Yara instead . Their leader is contemptuous and beats Theon , but Theon refuses to stay down , fights , and eventually prevails . The Iron Islanders , a dozen or so men , agree to help Theon rescue Yara .

During the King 's visit to Winterfell , he accidentally came across Cersei and Jaime Lannister engaging in sex , following which Bran is shoved from the window by Jaime , permanently crippling his legs . An assassin tries to kill Bran , but Summer , the direwolf companion , kills the assassin . Bran , when he awakens , finds that he is crippled from the waist down , forced to be carried everywhere by Hodor , and he can not remember the events immediately before his fall . Slowly , he realizes that he has gained the ability to assume Summer 's consciousness , making him a warg or a skinchanger . After his older brother , Robb , is crowned King in the North , Bran becomes Robb 's heir and the Lord of Winterfell . After Theon Greyjoy captures Winterfell , Bran goes into hiding . To cement his claim on Winterfell , Theon kills two orphan boys and tells the people of Winterfell that Bran , and his younger brother Rickon Stark , are dead .

He testifies when Sansa puts Baelish on trial that Baelish betrayed Ned and sent the assassin to kill Bran .

Vicious and cruel , he has a short temper and believes he can do anything he wants . He is also a coward when confronted by those who are n't afraid of him . Joffrey is also unaware that King Robert is not his real father -- who , in reality , is Jaime Lannister . After Robert 's death , the Lannisters make Joffrey the King against his father 's will , and Joffrey becomes a cruel ruler and a Puppet King used by his mother . Joffrey makes a mistake when , against Cersei 's and Sansa 's wishes , he refuses to honor his promise of sparing Ned ; instead , Joffrey has him executed . His act worsens the situation with the Lannisters ' war effort as Jaime is captured by the Starks and his uncles Renly and Stannis have challenged his claim to the Iron Throne . He frequently orders his Kingsguard to beat Sansa . His cruelty and ignorance of the commoners ' suffering makes him unpopular after he orders the City Watch to kill all of his father 's bastard children in King 's Landing which would later lead to a riot where he is almost killed . When Stannis attacks King 's Landing , Joffrey serves only as a figurehead and avoids the heavy fighting . When the battle eventually turns in Stannis ' favor , Cersei calls her son into the safety of the castle , damaging the morale of his army . The battle is only won by his grandfather Tywin and the forces of House Tyrell . To cement the alliance between their families , Joffrey 's engagement to Sansa is annulled so he can marry Margaery Tyrell . Upon the end of Season 3 , the marriage is yet to take place , and rifts are growing between Joffrey and his uncle and grandfather , who are ( in their respective ways ) rebutting his cruelty . He also seems to take little interest in his bride , but is amazed and altered by her ways of winning the people 's favor , in which he takes part . In Season 4 , Joffrey finally marries Margaery , but he dies at the wedding after being poisoned , and his uncle Tyrion is accused and arrested . It is confirmed , however , he was poisoned by Olenna Tyrell , with assistance from Petyr Baelish and Dontos Hollard , as she wanted to protect Margaery from the physical and emotional abuse that Joffrey had very clearly inflicted on Sansa . Olenna later confides to Margaery that she would never have let her marry `` that beast '' . Following Joffrey 's funeral , his younger brother and heir , Tommen , is crowned King .

He is taciturn and brutal , but not without compassion . He is protective towards Sansa after she is captured by the Lannisters . After Joffrey becomes King , Sandor is made a member of the Kingsguard . Although he is still faithful to Joffrey , he frequently defends Sansa from Joffrey 's attempts to shame and physically abuse her . During the siege on King 's Landing , when wildfire is used to destroy Stannis ' ships , Sandor succumbs to his fear of fire and abandons the fight , insulting Joffrey as he leaves . Before fleeing the city , he seeks out Sansa and offers to take her along . She refuses but she recognizes that he had been afraid in the battle . Sandor is later captured by the Brotherhood Without Banners , and is reunited with Arya at the Inn of the Kneeling Man . He is acquitted from murdering Mycah in a trial by combat with the leader of the Brotherhood , Beric Dondarrion , and released . Taking Arya Stark prisoner , he travels to the Twins hoping to ransom her , but arrives just as the slaughter of the Starks at The Red Wedding begins and rides off with a shocked Arya in tow . When she attacks a pack of Frey soldiers and stabs one of them to death , he intervenes on her behalf and disposes of the rest . Sandor then decides to take Arya to the Vale instead , to ransom her to her Aunt Lysa Arryn .

Nicknamed `` The Imp '' or `` Halfman '' , Tyrion Lannister of House Lannister is the younger brother of Cersei and Jaime Lannister . He is a dwarf ; and his mother died during his birth , for which his father , Tywin Lannister , blames him . While not physically powerful , Tyrion has a cunning mind and often uses to his advantage the fact that others constantly underestimate him . In Season Three , Tyrion is given the job of Master of Coin , a role that he is unprepared and inexperienced for . Tyrion is commanded by his father to marry Sansa Stark ; however , on the wedding night , Tyrion refuses to consummate his marriage and instead lets Sansa sleep alone , promising not to touch her unless she wanted him to . The death of her brother Robb , in which Tyrion took no part , causes a further rift between the couple and between Tyrion and his father , who he claims ca n't distinguish between his interests and his often - praised ideal of devotion to family . Tywin bitterly claims that he had wanted to drown Tyrion upon birth , but stayed himself for the sake of duty . In season 4 , Tyrion welcomes Prince Oberyn Martell of Dorne to King 's Landing for Joffrey 's wedding to Margaery Tyrell , though Oberyn implies to Tyrion that his true purpose is to seek vengeance for his sister , who was murdered by Ser Gregor Clegane on Tywin 's orders . When Joffrey is fatally poisoned , Tyrion is framed and arrested . Tyrion , however , implies that Cersei knows of his innocence and just wants him dead . At Tyrion 's trial , he demands a trial by combat . Tyrion is approached by Oberyn , who volunteers to be his champion in order to fight Cersei 's champion , Ser Gregor Clegane . When Oberyn loses the fight and is killed , Tyrion is sentenced to death . Jaime , however , frees Tyrion and arranges for him to escape King 's Landing .

They arrive in Pentos , where Varys manages to convince Tyrion to travel with him to Meereen and aid Daenerys Targaryen in retaking the Iron Throne . Tyrion is bound and gagged by Jorah Mormont , who says that he will take him to Daenerys . Daenerys takes them both to her home in the Great Pyramid of Meereen and asks Tyrion why he is here . Tyrion tells her everything , including Varys ' plan . He initially counsels her to stay in Meereen , but Daenerys makes it plain to him that her eyes are still on Westeros . Tyrion tells Daenerys how hard it will be to win the love of both the common people and the nobles . He later joins her at the opening celebrations of Daznak 's Pit , where Jorah unexpectedly reappears to defeat every other foe on the arena . As the Sons of the Harpy attack , Tyrion manages to survive by fleeing to the midst of the arena , where they are rescued by Drogon , while Daenerys is spirited away on his back . In season 6 , Tyrion struggles to maintain peace in Meereen , particularly when the Sons of the Harpy burn the entire Meereenese Navy , stranding them in Slaver 's Bay . Following an alliance with Theon and Yara Greyjoy , Tyrion advises Daenerys to break up with Daario so that she may pursue a marriage alliance in Westeros .

Tywin Lannister ( edit ) Charles Dance Main article : Tywin Lannister Tywin Lannister ( season 1 -- 5 ) portrayed by Charles Dance . Lord of Casterly Rock , Shield of Lannisport and Warden of the West , Tywin of House Lannister is a calculating , ruthless , and controlling man . He is also the former Hand of King Aerys II . He is the father of Cersei , Jaime , and Tyrion . After Eddard Stark 's arrest , Joffrey names him Hand of the King once more , but after Jaime is taken captive by the Starks , Eddard is unexpectedly executed by Joffrey , and Renly and Stannis Baratheon challenge Joffrey 's claim to the throne ; Tywin elects to remain in the field commanding his forces until he wins his war , and in the meantime gives the position of Hand of the King to Tyrion . Tywin continues the war through Season 2 at Harrenhal where he criticizes his commanders for losing and underestimating the Stark army led by King Robb Stark . While there , he forms an unlikely friendship with his cup bearer , unaware that she is actually Arya Stark . Originally , he was about to attack Robb 's forces while they are distracted by the Greyjoys seizing Winterfell , but changes his mind and helps the defenders of King 's Landing drive Stannis Baratheon 's forces away . He assumes his position of Hand of the King once again and arranges for Joffrey to marry Margaery Tyrell to secure an alliance between the Lannisters and Tyrells . In the third season , as Hand of the King , he fortifies his position as de facto leader of the Seven Kingdoms , and he successfully defeats Robb Stark , the King in the North , by forging an alliance with the lords Frey and Bolton , who betray and kill Stark and his men . The crown subsequently pardons and rewards them with Riverrun and the North , respectively , though Tywin is criticized by Tyrion for winning the war through such an unscrupulous scheme . He also has to deal with an increasingly belligerent Joffrey , who chides his grandfather as a coward who `` hid under Casterly Rock '' while Robert Baratheon led the rebellion against Aerys Targaryen , and complicated relations with his children as he forces them into marriage alliances with Sansa Stark and Loras Tyrell , to secure the support of the Tyrells and Lannister dominion in the North ( now Sansa 's heirdom , as all her brothers are presumed dead ) . In the fourth season , Tywin is present at the royal wedding where Joffrey dies , and has King 's Landing closed off to prevent Sansa from escaping ( although she escapes with help from Petyr Baelish and Dontos Hollard ) . He grooms Joffrey 's younger brother , Tommen , to becoming the new King , and appears determined to make sure Tommen becomes a much better King than Joffrey was . The presence of Prince Oberyn Martell of Dorne poses a new problem , however , as he resurfaces the Martell -- Lannister antagonism over the rape and murder of his sister Elia by Gregor `` The Mountain '' Clegane during the Robert 's Rebellion ; Oberyn believes the deed was done on Tywin 's order . Tywin denies the allegations and promises Oberyn justice in exchange for Oberyn serving as one of the judges at Tyrion 's trial . At the trial , when several supposed witnesses give false statements regarding Tyrion 's supposed guilt , Tywin promises Jaime in private that if Tyrion is found guilty and pleads for mercy , he will exile him to the Night 's Watch but only if Jaime ceases to be a Kingsguard and takes his place as heir to House Lannister . However , Tyrion loses his composure , lashes out at Tywin and demands a trial by combat , to Tywin 's anger . When Tyrion 's champion , Oberyn , loses the fight and is killed , Tywin sentences his son to death . Later , when Jamie helps Tyrion escape , Tyrion discovers that Tywin was having an affair with Shae , Tyrion 's former lover , who falsely testified against him at his trial . Tywin is ambushed by Tyrion while in a privy , wielding Joffrey 's crossbow . Tywin attempts to reason with Tyrion , swearing that he would never have had him executed , but also -- upon Tyrion showing regret for Shae 's death -- taunts him as `` afraid of a dead whore '' . In rage , Tyrion shoots Tywin twice in the chest , killing him . His body is discovered shortly afterwards , and a grand funeral is held in the Sept of Baelor . As revealed by Davos Seaworth , he was 67 years old . Tywin 's death heralds instability in the Seven Kingdoms , with the arrival of the Sparrows in the capital , and rivalry rising between Cersei , who aspires to her father 's position but lacks many of his statesmanlike qualities , and the Tyrells . The Boltons also lose the potential Lannister military support just when they are faced with Stannis Baratheon planning to take Winterfell on his way to the Iron Throne .

Before the events of the series , he earned his knighthood by smuggling fish and onions to the besieged Stannis Baratheon and his army during Robert Baratheon 's rebellion . Before knighting him , Stannis removed the last joints from four fingers on his right hand as punishment for his years of smuggling ; believing these joints bought his family a better future , Davos keeps them in a pouch around his neck for luck . In Season 2 , he loyally supports Stannis ' claim on the throne and his honesty and willingness to voice his unaltered opinion makes him Stannis ' most trusted adviser , though Stannis often dislikes what he hears . An agnostic , he does n't accept the priestess Melisandre and her god R'hllor but does not object to her because Stannis is also a follower of R'hllor . He fights in the Battle of the Blackwater , where his ships are caught in a giant explosion of wild fire . His son Matthos is killed and Davos is thrown out to sea . He is picked up by the pirate Salladhor Saan , who returns him to King Stannis . Upon attacking Melisandre for the loss of his son , he is imprisoned and later condemned to death for releasing Gendry . Stannis had intended to sacrifice the boy to R'hllor and hence regards Davos ' actions as treason , but Davos shows him a letter from Maester Aemon from the Night 's Watch , detailing the death of Lord Commander Jeor Mormont and Samwell Tarly witnessing the growing army of White Walkers . Stannis pardons Davos upon Melisandre 's request , as she claims R'hllor calls them to travel to the Wall to help the Night 's Watch protect the kingdom from the White Walkers . In season 4 , Davos is still at odds with Stannis for releasing Gendry ( as Stannis claims that Robb Stark and Joffrey Baratheon are dead thanks to Gendry 's blood ) and failing to find him a suitable army , but Davos decides to write a letter to the Iron Bank of Braavos so that they may provide them with the currency to purchase an army to aid the Night 's Watch against the 100,000 strong wildling army led by Mance Rayder . Despite the Iron Bank 's reluctance to back Stannis , Davos manages to convince them and they acquire the loan . Davos then tracks Salladhor Saan to aid them in exchange for gold . He and Stannis arrive at the Wall in time to save Jon Snow from Mance Rayder . In season 5 , Davos remains at the Wall with Stannis to help him in his campaign to retake the North from Roose Bolton . Davos is aware that the Night 's Watch will choose a new Lord Commander and believes that Ser Alliser Thorne will win . He tries to convince Jon Snow to accept Stannis 's offer of legitimization since Thorne will most likely punish Jon for showing Mance Rayder mercy during the execution . Later , Davos departs from the Wall with Stannis , to help him take Winterfell . As the army becomes snowbound , he is returned to the Wall on Stannis ' command , sharing a heartfelt moment with Shireen , where he thanks her for learning him to read and promises to be back within days . Arriving at the Wall , he unsuccessfully tries to convince Jon of their cause , when the couple is suddenly joined by a lone Melisandre , whose sullen demeanour is enough to tell Jon and Davos that Stannis and Shireen are dead . In season 6 , after Jon is killed in a mutiny , Davos leads Jon 's loyal friends against the mutineers led by Alliser Thorne and they achieve victory thanks to the wildlings ' help . Davos later persuades Melisandre to attempt to resurrect Jon , which she succeeds in doing , and becomes one of Jon 's top lieutenants in his campaign to retake Winterfell from the Boltons , successfully persuading Lyanna Mormont to supply them with men . He takes part in the Battle of the Bastards and survives , but in the process learns that Shireen was actually burned at the stake by Melisandre . He confronts her about it in front of Jon and she admits her role in Shireen 's death , and he demands permission from Jon to execute Melisandre , though Jon has her exiled instead . Davos later joins the Northern Lords in proclaiming Jon the new King in the North . In season 7 Davos travels with Jon to Dragonstone . He helps Tyrion Lannister to sneak into King 's Landing for a meeting with Jamie Lannister . While in King 's Landing he seeks out Gendry and finds him in a smithy , and brings him back to Dragonstone . Samwell Tarly ( edit ) John Bradley Main article : Samwell Tarly Samwell Tarly ( season 1 -- present ) portrayed by John Bradley . Samwell Tarly of House Tarly and the Night 's Watch is the eldest son and former heir of Lord Randyll Tarly , is a new recruit to the Night 's Watch . He was sent to the Wall by his father , who disowned him for his cowardice . He becomes Jon 's best friend after Jon conspires with the others in their trainee class to go easy on him . While not a warrior , he is very smart and insightful . He is inducted into the Stewards and assigned to Maester Aemon . He travels beyond the Wall in place of Aemon and falls in love with Gilly , one of Craster 's daughter - wives . Later in Season 2 , he finds obsidian `` Dragon glass . '' At the end of the season he becomes a witness to the numerous army of White Walkers and Wights marching to the Fist of the First Men . He manages to escape with a few Night 's Watch Men including Lord Commander Jeor Mormont , and they make it back to Craster 's Keep . Escaping the slaughter of the Nights Watch mutineers -- which ended in Lord Mormont 's death -- Sam is attacked by a White Walker when making a fire but manages to kill it using the Dragonglass . Alongside Gilly , he manages to cross the Wall and return to Castle Black to bring news of Mormont 's death and reunite with Jon . In season 4 , fearing for Gilly 's safety , Sam takes her to work in an inn in Mole 's Town , but later regrets his decision , especially after Mole 's Town is attacked by wildlings ( though he is unaware that Gilly was spared by Ygritte ) . He reunites with Gilly , however , when she returns to Castle Black unharmed , and he locks her in the food storage for her safety when the wildlings attack , kissing her for the first time . Sam himself participates in the battle , at one point shooting a huge Thenn through the head with a crossbow and holding the dying Pyp in his arms . In the aftermath , he discovers Janos Slynt to have hidden himself in the food storage with Gilly , and is given Jon 's sword to look after as Jon leaves Castle Black to hunt down Mance Rayder . He is later present at the burning of the bodies of those who were killed in the battle for The Wall . In season 5 , he expresses concern that if Ser Alliser Thorne is elected the new Lord Commander of the Night 's Watch , Gilly and the other wildlings will be executed . At Mance Rayder 's execution he comforts Gilly as she could n't bare to watch . Sam is reading a book on previous Lord Commanders while Princess Shireen Baratheon teaches Gilly how to read . He also learns how the young princess survived Greyscale and that Gilly also had sisters who perished from the disease . At the choosing for the 998th Lord Commander of the Night 's Watch , Jon Snow reveals Stannis 's offer of legitimization to Sam . Jon states that it was always his dream to be Lord of Winterfell , but he reveals that he will decline the king 's offer , much to Sam 's surprise . When Maester Aemon asks if there are any more candidates wishing to run against Ser Alliser Thorne and Ser Denys Mallister , Sam puts Jon 's name forward as a candidate . Janos Slynt mocks Sam by calling him `` Slayer '' and pointing out his love for Gilly being similar to Jon 's love for Ygritte , and Sam retaliates by publicly mocking Slynt for hiding in the pantry with Gilly and her baby during the wildling attack . Sam reminds all of the black brothers present that Jon was Jeor Mormont 's personal steward , that he led the force to deal with the mutineers at Craster 's Keep , and took command of Castle Black 's garrison during the wildling attack when Thorne was wounded . Sam 's speech ultimately results in Jon being chosen as the new Lord Commander of the Night 's Watch . Events at the wall go on as normal , until the death of Maester Aemon of old age . Sam is present at the maester 's death . Shortly afterward , he catches two Night 's Watchmen attempting to rape Gilly . He attempts to defend her , but the two harshly beat him , and he is only saved by Jon 's direwolf , Ghost . While tending Sam 's wounds , Gilly has sex with Sam . He later leaves with her , convincing Jon that he will aid the Watch much more as a trained maester in Oldtown . His self - confessed motive , however , is to spirit Gilly and her baby -- now named `` Sam '' after her lover -- away to safety , of which Jon approves . In season 6 , Sam and Gilly briefly stop at Horn Hill , where Sam contemplates leaving Gilly and little Sam with his family , but after an uneasy reunion with his father , Sam decides to take Gilly and the baby with him , and steals the House Tarly Valyrian steel sword , Heartsbane , to learn the secrets behind Valyrian steel . He reaches the citadel in the season finale . In season 7 Sam is a skivvy for the Archmaester , collecting chamber pots and rescribing old scrolls . He meets Jorah Mormont , nearly lost to the disease greyscale , and cures him using a painful and risky treatment in defiance of the Archmaester 's orders . Sam is frustrated that the Archmaester will not take the White Walker threat seriously . Eventually he helps himself to scrolls he thinks may be important from the library and heads back north with Gilly and little Sam . Gilly finds in a High Septon 's diary that Prince Rhaegar annulled his marriage to Ella Martell of Dorne ; Sam ignores this at first but by the time he reaches Winterfell and meets Bran he has read for himself that the High Septon went on to marry Rhaegar to Lyanna Stark in secret . Sam and Bran put their information together to conclude that Jon Snow was born legitimate , named Aegon Targaryen , and the rightful heir to the Iron Throne . Margaery Tyrell ( edit ) Natalie Dormer Main article : Margaery Tyrell Margaery Tyrell ( season 2 -- 6 ) portrayed by Natalie Dormer . Margaery of House Tyrell is the only daughter of Lord Mace Tyrell , and has recently married the late King Robert 's brother , Renly Baratheon , as part of House Tyrell 's support for his bid to seize the Iron Throne from King Joffrey . Somewhere in her mid to late twenties , she is surprisingly canny and cunning . She is aware of her husband 's homosexual orientation and inclinations towards her brother . Despite her knowledge of this , she actively attempts to become pregnant as to secure the alliance between their families . When Renly is killed , the Tyrells ally with House Lannister and she is planned to marry to King Joffrey . In a departure from her characterization in the novels , where her personal motivations are unclear , Margaery 's naked ambition is made obvious . Upon arriving at King 's Landing , she offers Sansa to marry her brother Loras , but the plot is thwarted and Sansa is married to Tyrion Lannister to secure the North should Robb Stark die . At the end of Season 3 , her marriage to Joffrey is impending , though her influence over him appears to grow , causing friction between her and Queen Regent Cersei . Cersei coldly implies she could have her killed at any time . In season 4 , Margaery and Joffrey are married , but Joffrey dies at the wedding after being poisoned . Since Margaery still can not become queen this way , she is betrothed to Joffrey 's younger brother and heir , Tommen , and visits him one night in his chamber to get to know him better . She is among the many people in King 's Landing who believe Tyrion Lannister is not responsible for Joffrey 's death , and her grandmother , Olenna Tyrell , confirms to her that it was she who orchestrated it , leaving Margaery visibly shocked , until Olenna claims that it was to protect her from Joffrey 's abuse ( which he had quite clearly inflicted on Sansa while she was betrothed to him ) . Margaery is later present at Tyrion 's trial , where she is visibly uncomfortable at the possibility of Tyrion being punished for the crime her grandmother committed . After Tyrion kills Tywin and escapes , Margaery attends Tywin 's funeral . Margaery marries Tommen soon afterward , as Tommen is now the king . The wedding suffers no problems , and Margaery finally becomes a queen . After consummating the marriage with Tommen , Margaery , who has him completely in her thrall , suggests that Tommen send Cersei back to Casterly Rock . Tensions between Cersei and Margaery increase as Cersei confronts her about Tommen . Margaery insults Cersei , angering her . Cersei then has Margaery 's brother , Loras , arrested by the extremist religious movement the Sparrows for homosexual activities . At a trial , Margaery testifies that Loras is not guilty . However , when evidence is procured , Loras gets arrested , along with Margaery , as she lied in her testimony . The High Sparrow reveals that she and Loras will face trial , but that they may receive the `` mother 's mercy '' if they were to confess their crimes . Margaery later feigns surrender to protect her family , and joins Tommen in making an alliance with the Faith . On the day of Cersei 's trial , however , Margaery is killed in the explosion which destroys the Great Sept of Baelor . Stannis Baratheon ( edit ) Stephen Dillane Main article : Stannis Baratheon Stannis Baratheon ( season 2 -- 5 ) portrayed by Stephen Dillane . Stannis Baratheon of House Baratheon , Lord of Dragonstone , is the elder of Robert Baratheon 's younger brothers . A brooding , humorless man known for a hard and unyielding sense of justice , he is obsessed with slights real and imagined . With Robert dying , Ned sends him a letter appointing him as the legitimate heir and becomes another challenger for the Iron Throne after his nephew Joffrey becomes King . By Season 2 , he has fallen under the influence of Melisandre , a priestess of R'hllor . After Robert 's death , Stannis claims himself the true heir to the Iron Throne as Cersei 's children are illegitimate and names himself King of the Seven Kingdoms . However , most of the Baratheon bannermen support the claim of the more charismatic Renly . When Renly is mysteriously slain , many of Renly 's bannermen immediately swear allegiance to Stannis . He then attacks King 's Landing by sailing up the Blackwater Bay . However , due to Tyrion 's plan using wild fire and reinforcements by the Lannisters and Tyrell Cavalry , he loses the Battle of Blackwater . Despite this setback , he is convinced to continue fighting by Melisandre , and is further convinced by her magic as she lets him see a vision of a battle in the flames . He acquires one of Robert 's bastards , Gendry , from the Brotherhood Without Banners and plans to sacrifice him to further his quest for the Iron Throne . After Davos questions his course of action , Stannis has three leeches drawn with Gendry 's blood and throws them into a fire , calling for the death of Robb Stark , Balon Greyjoy and Joffrey Baratheon . Upon the news of Robb 's death , Davos releases Gendry to prevent him from being burned . Stannis subsequently sentences his Hand to death but is swayed by Melisandre , who encourages him to travel North to aid the Night 's Watch against the threat emerging from beyond the Wall . In season 4 , Stannis hears of Joffrey 's death and chastises Davos again for releasing Gendry and not finding him a suitable army , prompting Davos to write to the Iron Bank of Braavos in Stannis 's name to help pay for an army . The Iron Bank very nearly refuses Stannis ' request , even subtly belittling him in the process , but Davos manages to convince them that Stannis is easily the only one they can turn to since Tywin Lannister is nearing old age . Stannis and his army arrive at the Wall shortly after the Battle for Castle Black , interrupting a supposed parley between Jon Snow and Mance Rayder . Stannis learns that Jon is Ned Stark 's son , and on Jon 's advice , he places Mance and his men under arrest . He is later present at the funeral of the Night 's Watch brothers who died during the Battle for Castle Black . In season 5 , Stannis begins plans to retake the North from Roose Bolton , hoping to recruit Mance 's wildling army , if Mance will bend the knee to him . Mance refuses , and Stannis orders him burned at the stake . Although Stannis was not pleased that Jon interfered with Mance 's execution , he presents Jon an enticing offer . If Jon bends the knee and swears his loyalty to Stannis , the king will legitimize him as Jon Stark , making him the Lord of Winterfell . Stannis , after receiving a message from Lyanna Mormont , knows that having a Stark on his side is the best chance of rallying the Northerners to his cause . Stannis departs from the Wall soon afterward , on a mission to take Winterfell from the Boltons . However , his party is delayed by a large snowstorm that ravages the North , and Ramsay Bolton and his men sabotage his supplies by burning them . He eventually agrees , most reluctantly , to sacrifice his daughter to the Lord of Light , sending Davos to the Wall to find supplies as he knows he would never approve of this most drastic action . Conferring with his daughter before her sacrifice , he admits that he will hate himself forever , but goes through with the act , witnessing tearfully as his daughter succumbs . The next day , the blizzard has lifted , though half his army , including all the sellswords have mutinied , taking all the horses to join the Boltons . Selyse is found hanged in a woods , having broken and relented the sacrifice of their child in the last minute and taken her own life . Stannis decides to finish the march on Winterfell by foot , where his greatly diminished army is greeted by a massive cavalry force led by Ramsay which defeats him . Fending off remaining Bolton soldiers in a nearby grove , Stannis succumbs by a tree , where he is greeted by Brienne of Tarth , reminding him of his fratricide . Stannis accepts responsibility and tells Brienne to fulfil her duty , and she lifts her sword and swings . Melisandre ( edit ) Carice van Houten Main article : Melisandre Melisandre ( season 2 -- present ) portrayed by Carice van Houten . Also known as `` The Red Woman '' , a priestess of R'hllor in service to Stannis Baratheon . Melisandre has prophetic powers that give her partial knowledge of future events . Unlike many other people in Westeros with access to prophecy , Melisandre has absolute faith in her own interpretation . Melisandre believes Stannis is the chosen one who will convert the people of Westeros into followers of R'hllor . She convinces Stannis of this by using various methods , including seduction . Many , most notably Stannis ' trusted adviser Davos Seaworth , believe she is leading their king astray . She has magical powers which help her survive Maester Cressen 's attempt to kill her with poison . She also gives birth to a shadow demon which is sent to kill Renly Baratheon and tries to convince Stannis to sacrifice Gendry , the bastard son of Robert Baratheon , because he has king 's blood , claiming R'hllor will reward the gift with an easier path to the Iron Throne . After Gendry 's escape , she intercepts a letter from the Night 's Watch , seeing the prophetic `` Other '' as the force behind the White Walkers ' march on the wall , and insists that Stannis takes up the cause of stopping them . She dismisses `` this war of five kings '' ( now actually three ) as unimportant and insists that Stannis take the help of Davos Seaworth , despite his betrayal . In season 4 , Melisandre accompanies Stannis , Davos and their army to the Wall , narrowly saving Jon Snow from Mance Rayder . At the funeral of the Night 's Watch brothers who fell during the Battle for Castle Black , Melisandre exchanges a knowing glance with Jon . In season 5 , she remains at the Wall with Stannis and shows interest in Jon . She attempts to seduce Jon , but he refuses to have sex with her . Eventually , she departs from the Wall with Stannis and Davos on their mission to take Winterfell . When a large snowstorm delays them , Melisandre suggests that Stannis sacrifice his daughter Shireen , but Stannis refuses . After a Bolton raiding party kills many of the horses and burns their supplies , he eventually gives in and allows the priestess to burn his only child . Melisandre declares soon after that the blizzard has been lifted , but after half of Stannis ' forces desert him , dismayed and disgusted , she rides for the Wall , where she is accosted by Jon and Davos . In season 6 , after persuasion by Davos , Melisandre attempts to resurrect Jon , who was killed in a mutiny , and succeeds , restoring her faith in the Lord of Light . She remains at Jon 's side through his campaign to retake the North from the Boltons , and witnesses the Bolton banners being lowered to the ground as in one of her visions . However , she is accused of murdering Shireen by Davos . With obvious regret , she admits what she did , but pleads with Jon not to execute her , claiming that she can help in the coming battle against the Night King . Remembering her role in resurrecting him , Jon does not execute Melisandre , but has her exiled from the North . In season 7 she arrives at Dragonstone and urges Daenerys to make an ally of Jon Snow . She tells Varys she is leaving Westeros but that she will return , as it is her destiny to die there . Jeor Mormont ( edit ) James Cosmo Main article : Jeor Mormont Jeor Mormont ( season 1 -- 3 ) portrayed by James Cosmo . Jeor Mormont , the 997th Lord Commander of the Night 's Watch , is the estranged father of Ser Jorah . He gave up his lands to serve the Night 's Watch . His son 's shaming of their house weighs heavily on him . He personally requests that Jon Snow be made his personal steward , and gives him the Hand - and - a-Half sword ( also known as a bastard sword ) of their house , Longclaw . He has the pommel reshaped into a wolf 's head . To investigate the return of wights , the disappearance of several Rangers , and rumors of a wildling army , Jeor leads an expeditionary force beyond the Wall in Season 2 . In Season 3 , after returning to Craster 's Keep , he is slain by Rast in the ensuing mutiny , but manages to strangle him before succumbing to his wounds . His death ignites Maester Aemon 's call for the lords of Westeros to aid the Night 's Watch , which convinces Stannis Baratheon the time is ripe to fight the onslaught of the White Walkers . His corpse is apparently desecrated afterwards , as in season 4 , Karl Tanner is shown drinking wine from a skull he claims is Jeor 's . Bronn ( edit ) Jerome Flynn Main article : Bronn ( character ) Bronn ( season 1 -- present ) portrayed by Jerome Flynn . Bronn is a sellsword with a sardonic sense of humor . He initially serves under Catelyn Stark and aids her in arresting Tyrion Lannister and taking him to the Vale to stand trial for the murder of Jon Arryn and attempted murder of Bran Stark . During the trial , Bronn realises that Tyrion will most likely be executed by the insane Lysa Arryn despite the impossibility of his guilt , and volunteers to fight for Tyrion when he demands a trial by combat . Bronn defeats Lysa Arryn 's champion and becomes Tyrion 's companion and protector , accompanying him back to King 's Landing . After they arrive , Bronn 's service to Tyrion earns him a position as Commander of the City Watch after Janos Slynt is revealed to be accepting bribes from the Lannisters . When Stannis Baratheon attacks the city by sailing up the Blackwater Bay , he shoots a flaming arrow to a ship containing wild fire which destroys half of Stannis ' fleet , and kills several of the attackers in defence of the city . However , Bronn is stripped of his position after Tywin Lannister takes his seat as Hand of The King , but is knighted taking the name Ser Bronn of the Blackwater for his service . He subsequently demands more gold for protecting Lord Tyrion and remains his confidante , though discord is increasing between the two . When Tyrion is forced to marry Sansa Stark , Bronn claims he desires her sexually , which Tyrion takes as a grave insult . In Season 4 , Tyrion pays him to train Jaime Lannister in fencing with his left hand , as well as get Shae out of King 's Landing , which he assures was completed . Bronn later implores Jaime to visit and help Tyrion after he is accused of murdering Joffrey , telling Jaime that Tyrion originally named him as his defender while on trial in the Vale before Bronn volunteered . Bronn is later betrothed to a rich woman by Cersei in order to stop Tyrion from naming him as his champion . Bronn visits Tyrion in his cell to inform him , and tells him that he most likely would not have been prepared to fight Ser Gregor Clegane , Cersei 's champion , anyway . He bids Tyrion farewell and they part ways as friends . In Season 5 , Bronn is taking a stroll with his betrothed , Lollys Stokeworth , just outside Castle Stokeworth . Lollys talks at length about the upcoming wedding , but Bronn seems uninterested about discussing it . He does comfort Lollys when she talks about her sister Felyse , saying that mean people will always get what they deserve . The two are interrupted when they see Jaime near the castle . Jaime intends to bring Myrcella Baratheon back from Dorne to King 's Landing and wants Bronn to help him . He also reveals that Cersei has arranged for Willas Bracken to wed Lollys instead of him , which angers Bronn , as he and Cersei had an agreement . Jaime tells Bronn that he will get a much better girl and a much better castle once they return from Dorne . Bronn and Jaime infiltrate the Water Gardens and find Myrcella with Trystane Martell , but are intercepted by the Sand Snakes , Oberyn Martell 's bastard daughters , who seek to kill Myrcella as revenge against Cersei for Oberyn 's death . Bronn sustains a cut while fighting Tyene Sand before they are all arrested by the Dornish guard . While in custody , Bronn almost dies from poison due to Tyene 's blade being coated in it , though she gives him the antidote . Though he struck Trystane during the struggle , Bronn is ultimately spared and allowed to return to King 's Landing with Jaime , after Areo Hotah strikes him across the face in retribution for harming Trystane . In season six , he accompanies Jaime to the Riverlands to retake Riverrun from Brynden Tully for the Freys , and returns to King 's Landing afterwards . In season seven he accompanies Jamie to capture Highgarden , reminding Jamie that he is still owed a highborn wife and a castle by the Lannisters . When the baggage train and force of soldiers he and Jamie are travelling with is attacked by Daenerys ' Dothraki and dragons he attempts to use a scorpion ( giant crossbow ) to shoot down Daenerys ' dragon . One of his shots wings the dragon but does not kill it , and the scorpion is destroyed by fire . Bronn sees Jamie about to make a suicidal charge at Daenerys and shoves him into the water just as the dragon is about to incinerate him . In King 's Landing Bronn leads Jamie down into the lower levels of the Red Keep , ostensibly to practice with swords , before revealing he had been asked by Tyrion to bring Jamie to a meeting . Cersei describes this as treason , but Jamie takes no action against Bronn . Varys ( edit ) Conleth Hill Main article : Varys Varys ( season 1 -- present ) portrayed by Conleth Hill . Varys , sometimes called The Spider , is a major character in the second , third , fourth and fifth seasons . He initially appeared as a recurring character in the first season and debuted in `` Lord Snow '' . Varys is bald and tends towards fat , due to his castration . Varys is a eunuch and the Master of Whisperers on the king 's small council . He is the Master of Whisperers , the King 's foremost spymaster and intelligence agent . He holds no inherited title , castle or lands in Westeros , but is called `` Lord '' as a courtesy due to his position on the council , which traditionally is made up of high lords . He is a skilled manipulator and commands a network of informants across two continents . He often puts on the public persona of being nothing more than a pudgy man well suited to the pleasantries of court life ; humble , obsequious , fawning , and a little effeminate . This is simply a facade that Varys has developed , which often leads those who do not know him well to underestimate him as a cheerful and vapid flatterer . In reality he is a cunning and ruthless manipulator of court politics , on - par with Master of Coin Petyr `` Littlefinger '' Baelish , with whom he frequently spars . Unlike Baelish , Varys insists that his goals are to achieve what he honestly feels is best for the realm , though of course , what he and the current king feel is best might be two separate things . Varys was born across the Narrow Sea in Lys . He was born a slave , and as a child he traveled with a troupe of actors all around the different Free Cities until a sorcerer in the city of Myr made an offer Varys ' master could n't refuse . Varys was sold to the sorcerer , who gave him a potion that made him unable to move or speak but did n't dull his perceptions or sense of pain , and emasculated him ( cutting off his testes and penis both ) to use his sexual organs in a magical ritual , burning them in a brazier . Afterward the sorcerer had no use for Varys and threw him in the streets to die . Instead Varys resolved to live no matter what : begging , stealing , and selling the sexual use of what parts remained to him , doing anything to survive . He also became an excellent thief , but soon learned that stolen information was often a far more valuable commodity than any physical goods , and he worked his way up from the slums of Myr . He became a master spy and information trafficker , and his influence and reputation grew so great that he eventually found himself as a member of the small council in the Seven Kingdoms . His experience at the hands of the sorcerer had also left him with a bitter hatred for magic and its practitioners . Varys 's true loyalties remain a mystery , though he claims to serve `` the realm '' , and abhors the suffering and political instability brought by the war . After Littlefinger 's confidante Ros is severely beaten by Joffrey 's guards and he fails to intervene , Varys takes her into his service as a spy . Littlefinger finds out and has her killed , taunting Varys that he could n't protect her . Varys affirms his course as a means to prevent chaos befalling the realm , claiming that Littlefinger `` would see the Seven Kingdoms burn , if he could be king over the ashes . '' Varys later informs Tyrion that Cersei has discovered his relationship with Shae . Though he claims he will not lie for him , he implores Tyrion to send Shae away for her own safety . Varys later testifies against Tyrion at his trial for murdering Joffrey , but when Tyrion is convicted , Jaime enlists Varys 's help in smuggling Tyrion out of King 's Landing to Essos . As Varys prepares to go back , he hears the tolling bells , making him realise that Tyrion 's escape has been discovered ( along with his murder of Tywin ) , so he stays on the boat with Tyrion . In Season 5 , he and Tyrion arrive in Pentos , where he convinces Tyrion to travel with him to Meereen and aid Daenerys Targaryen in retaking the Iron Throne . Travelling to Volantis , Varys and Tyrion discuss the former 's brief tenure as Hand of the King . Tyrion laments not leaving King 's Landing with Shae when he had the chance , but tells Varys that he enjoyed serving as Hand . Varys eventually surfaces in Meereen , where he confers with Tyrion about the future of the city and the Seven Kingdoms . In season 6 , after helping Tyrion broker an alliance with the slave masters , he departs Meereen to find new friends in Westeros , and secures help from Olenna Tyrell and Ellaria Sand to aid Daenerys . In season 7 he is challenged by Daenerys over having served Robert Baratheon after Robert took her father 's throne , and over his role in the attempt on her life in season 1 . She pardons him . Varys is told by Mellisandre that both she and he are destined to die in Westeros . Shae ( edit ) Sibel Kekilli Shae ( season 1 -- 4 ) portrayed by Sibel Kekilli . Shae is a young camp follower in whom Tyrion Lannister takes particular interest . She is from Lorath , one of the Free Cities across the Narrow Sea . Tyrion falls in love with her and in order to hide her from his father , Tyrion appoints Shae to be Sansa 's handmaiden . As her handmaiden , Shae is the only person Sansa trusts and confides to her about her problems and what she really thinks about the Lannisters . In turn , Shae becomes protective of Sansa and attempts to help her in any way she can . In Season 3 , she becomes jealous of Tyrion after his marriage to Sansa and is confronted by Varys , who urges her to leave the Seven Kingdoms , which she refuses to do , thinking that Tyrion has something to do with Varys talking to her . In Season 4 , Tyrion is forced to send Shae away from King 's Landing on a ship after her presence is discovered by Cersei and his father is told , insulting her in the process . Shae , however , does not leave King 's Landing , and resurfaces at Tyrion 's trial for murdering Joffrey , where she falsely claims that both Tyrion and Sansa were responsible for Joffrey 's death . It is revealed , however , that Shae was having an affair with Tywin . After Tyrion is freed by Jaime , he finds Shae sleeping in Tywin 's bed , making him realise the horrible truth . Shae attempts to kill Tyrion with a knife , but he strangles her to death both in self - defence and out of anger for her betrayal .

He forces Theon to become his new servant , who is now called Reek , and beats him until he accepts the name .

His cunning makes him a valuable ally , but his unpredictable nature makes him a dangerous one . In Season 2 , Roose has declared for the King in the North and serves as a chief member of Robb Stark 's war council . In secret , Roose feels the Stark cause is lost due to the fact Robb never once listened or heeded his advice , and so acts to secure Bolton predominance in the North -- he sends his bastard son Ramsay to take Winterfell from the Ironborn ( for his own amusement , Ramsay burns the castle to the ground and flays the defenders after offering them safe passage ) , and afterwards claims the Ironborn destroyed the castle and apparently killed Robb 's younger brothers Bran and Rickon . In Season 3 , Roose works with Walder Frey at Tywin Lannister 's request to betray the Starks at Edmure Tully 's wedding at the Twins . The ambush results in the destruction of the Stark forces by Bolton and Frey men , and deaths of all three Starks and Northern lords present in Walder Frey 's hall -- Roose personally kills the King in the North with a single stab through the heart , chiding that `` the Lannisters send their regards '' . For his loyalty he is named Warden of the North by the crown ( although Tywin Lannister intends to reclaim the title by marrying his son Tyrion to Sansa Stark , the presumed heir to Winterfell ) . In Season 4 , Roose and his men return to the North where he chastises Ramsay for having tortured Theon , as he was a valuable hostage .

With help from Ramsay and Theon Greyjoy , Roose manages to drive the remaining Ironborn out of the Northern lands , and Roose legitimizes Ramsay as his true son . The Bolton 's make their way to Winterfell , although they still face opposition from the Northerners -- who are furious with the Boltons for betraying the Starks -- and Stannis Baratheon , who aims to rally the North as a springboard against House Lannister rule and bring the Boltons down in the process . Roose has Ramsay married to Sansa Stark the true heir of Winterfell . As Stannis eventually nears , snowbound trapped by a blizzard , he approves of Ramsay 's raiding of the Baratheon camp , where they successfully destroys most of their supplies and siege engines , diminishing Baratheon chances of taking the North . Stannis ultimately perishes in the ensuing battle , but Sansa escapes from Winterfell with Theon 's help . Roose threatens Ramsay with being disinherited if Sansa is not found .

After Lancel confesses of his and Cersei 's affair and of her role in Robert Baratheon 's death , the High Sparrow turns on the Queen mother and has her arrested and imprisoned . When Cersei decides to plead for mercy , the High Sparrow listens to her confession of adultery and , on the condition that she stand for trial for her other sins , permits her to return to the Red Keep but only after she performs a walk of Atonement , in which her hair is cut and she must walk naked through the mob .

They are a consequence of growing international shareholding and trade and are particularly important for companies that have dealings in several countries . They are progressively replacing the many different national accounting standards . They are the rules to be followed by accountants to maintain books of accounts which are comparable , understandable , reliable and relevant as per the users internal or external . IFRS , with the exception of IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies and IFRIC 7 Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29 , are authorized in terms of the historical cost paradigm . IAS 29 and IFRIC 7 are authorized in terms of the units of constant purchasing power paradigm . IFRS began as an attempt to harmonize accounting across the European Union but the value of harmonization quickly made the concept attractive around the world . However , it has been debated whether or not de facto harmonization has occurred . Standards that were issued by IASC ( the predecessor of IASB ) are still within use today and go by the name International Accounting Standards ( IAS ) , while standards issued by IASB are called IFRS . IAS were issued between 1973 and 2001 by the Board of the International Accounting Standards Committee ( IASC ) . On 1 April 2001 , the new International Accounting Standards Board ( IASB ) took over from the IASC the responsibility for setting International Accounting Standards . During its first meeting the new Board adopted existing IAS and Standing Interpretations Committee standards ( SICs ) . The IASB has continued to develop standards calling the new standards `` International Financial Reporting Standards '' . In the absence of a Standard or an Interpretation that specifically applies to a transaction , management must use its judgement in developing and applying an accounting policy that results in information that is relevant and reliable . In making that judgement , IAS 8.11 requires management to consider the definitions , recognition criteria , and measurement concepts for assets , liabilities , income , and expenses in the Framework . Criticisms of IFRS are ( 1 ) that they are not being adopted in the US ( see US GAAP ) , ( 2 ) a number of criticisms from France and ( 3 ) that IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies had no positive effect at all during 6 years in Zimbabwe 's hyperinflationary economy . The IASB offered responses to the first two criticisms , but has offered no response to the last criticism while IAS 29 was as of March 2014 being implemented in its original ineffective form in Venezuela and Belarus . Contents ( hide ) 1 Objective of financial statements 2 Qualitative characteristics of financial information 3 Elements of financial statements 4 Recognition of elements of financial statements 5 Capital Concept and capital maintenance 5.1 Concepts of capital 5.2 Concepts of capital maintenance and the determination of profit 6 Requirements 7 Criticisms 8 Adoption 8.1 Australia 8.2 Brazil 8.3 Canada 8.4 European Union 8.5 Ghana 8.6 India 8.7 Japan 8.8 Montenegro 8.9 Nepal 8.10 Pakistan 8.11 Russia 8.12 Singapore 8.13 South Africa 8.14 Taiwan 8.15 Turkey 8.16 Zimbabwe 9 See also 10 References 11 Further reading 12 External links Objective of financial statements ( edit ) Financial statements are a structured representation of the financial positions and financial performance of an entity . The objective of financial statements is to provide information about the financial position , financial performance and cash flows of an entity that is useful to a wide range of users in making economic decisions . Financial statements also show the results of the management 's stewardship of the resources entrusted to it . To meet this objective , financial statements provide information about an entity 's assets and cash flows . This information , along with other information in the notes , assists users of financial statements in predicting the entity 's future cash flows and , in particular , their timing and certainty . The following are the general features in IFRS : Fair presentation and compliance with IFRS : Fair presentation requires the faithful representation of the effects of the transactions , other events and conditions in accordance with the definitions and recognition criteria for assets , liabilities , income and expenses set out in the Framework of IFRS . Going concern : Financial statements are present on a going concern basis unless management either intends to liquidate the entity or to cease trading , or has no realistic alternative but to do so . Accrual basis of accounting : An entity shall recognise items as assets , liabilities , equity , income and expenses when they satisfy the definition and recognition criteria for those elements in the Framework of IFRS . Materiality and aggregation : Every material class of similar items has to be presented separately . Items that are of a dissimilar nature or function shall be presented separately unless they are immaterial . Offsetting : Offsetting is generally forbidden in IFRS . However certain standards require offsetting when specific conditions are satisfied ( such as in case of the accounting for defined benefit liabilities in IAS 19 and the net presentation of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets in IAS 12 ) . Frequency of reporting : IFRS requires that at least annually a complete set of financial statements is presented . However listed companies generally also publish interim financial statements ( for which the accounting is fully IFRS compliant ) for which the presentation is in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financing Reporting . Comparative information : IFRS requires entities to present comparative information in respect of the preceding period for all amounts reported in the current period 's financial statements . In addition comparative information shall also be provided for narrative and descriptive information if it is relevant to understanding the current period 's financial statements . The standard IAS 1 also requires an additional statement of financial position ( also called a third balance sheet ) when an entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively or makes a retrospective restatement of items in its financial statements , or when it reclassifies items in its financial statements . This for example occurred with the adoption of the revised standard IAS 19 ( as of 1 January 2013 ) or when the new consolidation standards IFRS 10 - 11 - 12 were adopted ( as of 1 January 2013 or 2014 for companies in the European Union ) . Consistency of presentation : IFRS requires that the presentation and classification of items in the financial statements is retained from one period to the next unless : it is apparent , following a significant change in the nature of the entity 's operations or a review of its financial statements , that another presentation or classification would be more appropriate having regard to the criteria for the selection and application of accounting policies in IAS 8 ; or an IFRS standard requires a change . Qualitative characteristics of financial information ( edit ) Fundamental qualitative characteristics of financial information include : Relevance Faithful representation Enhancing qualitative characteristics include : Comparability Verifiability Timeliness Understandability Elements of financial statements ( edit ) The elements directly related to the measurement of the statement of financial position include : Asset : An asset is a resource controlled by the entity as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity . Liability : A liability is a present obligation of the entity arising from the past events , the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow from the entity of resources embodying economic benefits , i.e. assets . Equity : Nominal equity is the nominal residual interest in the nominal assets of the entity after deducting all its liabilities in nominal value . The financial performance of an entity is presented in the statement of comprehensive income , which consists of the income statement ( Statement of Profit / Loss ) and the statement of other comprehensive income ( usually presented in two separate statements ) . Financial performance includes the following elements ( which are recognised in the income statement or other comprehensive income as required by the applicable IFRS standard ) : Revenues : increases in economic benefit during an accounting period in the form of inflows or enhancements of assets , or decrease of liabilities that result in increases in equity . However , it does not include the contributions made by the equity participants ( for example owners , partners or shareholders ) . Expenses : decreases in economic benefits during an accounting period in the form of outflows , or depletions of assets or incurrences of liabilities that result in decreases in equity . However , these do n't include the distributions made to the equity participants . Results recognised in other comprehensive income are limited to the following specific circumstances : Remeasurements of defined benefit assets or liabilities ( as defined in the standard IAS 19 ) Increases or decreases in the fair value of financial assets classified as available for sale ( with the exception of impairment losses ) ( as defined in the standard IAS 39 ) Increases or decreases resulting from the application of a revaluation of property , plant and equipment or intangible assets Exchange differences resulting from the translation of foreign operations ( subsidiary , associate , joint arrangement or branch of a reporting entity , the activities of which are conducted in a country or currency other than those of the reporting entity ) according to the standard IAS 21 the portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge ( or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation , as this is accounted similarly ) that is determined to be an effective hedge The statement of changes in equity consists of a reconciliation of the changes in equity in which the following information is provided : total comprehensive income for the period , showing separately the total amounts attributable to owners of the parent and to non-controlling interests ; for each component of equity , the effects of retrospective application or retrospective restatement recognised in accordance with IAS 8 ; and for each component of equity , a reconciliation between the carrying amount at the beginning and the end of the period , separately disclosing changes resulting from : profit or loss ; other comprehensive income ; and transactions with owners in their capacity as owners , showing separately contributions by and distributions to owners and changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control . Cash flow statement Operating cash flows : the principal revenue - producing activities of the entity and are generally calculated by applying the indirect method , whereby profit or loss is adjusted for the effects of transaction of a non-cash nature , any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments , and items of income or expense associated with investing or financing cash flows . Investing cash flows : the acquisition and disposal of long - term assets and other investments not included in cash equivalents . These represent the extent to which expenditures have been made for resources intended to generate future income and cash flows . Only expenditures that result in a recognised asset in the statement of financial position are eligible for classification as investing activities . Financing cash flows : activities that result in changes in the size and composition of the contributed equity and borrowings of the entity . These are important because they are useful in predicting claims on future cash flows by providers of capital to the entity . Notes to the Financial Statements : These shall ( a ) present information about the basis of preparation of the financial statements and the specific accounting policies used ; ( b ) disclose the information required by IFRSs that is not presented elsewhere in the financial statements ; and ( c ) provide information that is not presented elsewhere in the financ Statement of Cash Flowsial statements , but is relevant to an understanding of any of them . Recognition of elements of financial statements ( edit ) An item is recognized in the financial statements when : it is probable future economic benefit will flow to or from an entity . the resource can be reliably measured In some cases specific standards add additional conditions before recognition is possible or prohibit recognition altogether . An example is the recognition of internally generated brands , mastheads , publishing titles , customer lists and items similar in substance , for which recognition is prohibited by IAS 38 . In addition research and development expenses can only be recognised as an intangible asset if they cross the threshold of being classified as ' development cost ' . Whilst the standard on provisions , IAS 37 , prohibits the recognition of a provision for contingent liabilities , this prohibition is not applicable to the accounting for contingent liabilities in a business combination . In that case the acquirer shall recognise a contingent liability even if it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required . International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) are designed as a common global language for business affairs so that company accounts are understandable and comparable across international boundaries . They are a consequence of growing international . Capital concept and capital maintenance ( edit ) Concepts of capital ( edit ) Par . 102 . A financial concept of capital is adopted by most entities in preparing their financial statements . Under a financial concept of capital , such as invested money or invested purchasing powerds , capital is synonymous with the net assets or equity of the entity . Under a physical concept of capital , such as operating capability , capital is regarded as the productive capacity of the entity based on , for example , units of output per day . Par . 103 . The selection of the appropriate concept of capital by an entity should be based on the needs of the users of its financial statements . Thus , a financial concept of capital should be adopted if the users of financial statements are primarily concerned with the maintenance of nominal invested capital or the purchasing power of invested capital . If , however , the main concern of users is with the operating capability of the entity , a physical concept of capital should be used . The concept chosen indicates the goal to be attained in determining profit , even though there may be some measurement difficulties in making the concept operational . Concepts of capital maintenance and the determination of profit ( edit ) Par . 104 . The concepts of capital in paragraph 102 give rise to the following two concepts of capital maintenance : ( a ) Financial capital maintenance . Under this concept a profit is earned only if the financial ( or money ) amount of the net assets at the end of the period exceeds the financial ( or money ) amount of net assets at the beginning of the period , after excluding any distributions to , and contributions from , owners during the period . Financial capital maintenance can be measured in either nominal monetary units or units of constant purchasing power . ( b ) Physical capital maintenance . Under this concept a profit is earned only if the physical productive capacity ( or operating capability ) of the entity ( or the resources or funds needed to achieve that capacity ) at the end of the period exceeds the physical productive capacity at the beginning of the period , after excluding any distributions to , and contributions from , owners during the period . The concepts of capital in paragraph 102 give rise to the following three concepts of capital during low inflation and deflation : ( A ) Physical capital . See paragraph 102&103 ( B ) Nominal financial capital . See paragraph 104 . ( C ) Constant item purchasing power financial capital . See paragraph 104 . The concepts of capital in paragraph 102 give rise to the following three concepts of capital maintenance during low inflation and deflation : ( 1 ) Physical capital maintenance : optional during low inflation and deflation . Current Cost Accounting model prescribed by IFRS . See Par 106 . ( 2 ) Financial capital maintenance in nominal monetary units ( Historical cost accounting ) : authorized by IFRS but not prescribed -- optional during low inflation and deflation . See Par 104 ( a ) Historical cost accounting . Financial capital maintenance in nominal monetary units per se during inflation and deflation is a fallacy : it is impossible to maintain the real value of financial capital constant with measurement in nominal monetary units per se during inflation and deflation . ( 3 ) Financial capital maintenance in units of constant purchasing power ( Capital Maintenance in Units of Constant Purchasing Power ) : authorized by IFRS but not prescribed -- optional during low inflation and deflation . See Par 104 ( a ) . Capital Maintenance in Units of Constant Purchasing Power is prescribed during hyperinflation in IAS 29 : i.e. the restatement of Historical Cost or Current Cost period - end financial statements in terms of the period - end monthly published Consumer Price Index . Only financial capital maintenance in units of constant purchasing power ( Capital Maintenance in Units of Constant Purchasing Power ) in terms of a daily index per se can automatically maintain the real value of financial capital constant at all levels of inflation and deflation in all entities that at least break even in real value -- ceteris paribus -- for an indefinite period of time . This would happen whether these entities own revaluable fixed assets or not and without the requirement of more capital or additional retained profits to simply maintain the existing constant real value of existing shareholders ' equity constant . Financial capital maintenance in units of constant purchasing power requires the calculation and accounting of net monetary losses and gains from holding monetary items during low inflation and deflation . The calculation and accounting of net monetary losses and gains during low inflation and deflation have thus been authorized in IFRS since 1989 . Par . 105 . The concept of capital maintenance is concerned with how an entity defines the capital that it seeks to maintain . It provides the linkage between the concepts of capital and the concepts of profit because it provides the point of reference by which profit is measured ; it is a prerequisite for distinguishing between an entity 's return on capital and its return of capital ; only inflows of assets in excess of amounts needed to maintain capital may be regarded as profit and therefore as a return on capital . Hence , profit is the residual amount that remains after expenses ( including capital maintenance adjustments , where appropriate ) have been deducted from income . If expenses exceed income the residual amount is a loss . Par . 106 . The physical capital maintenance concept requires the adoption of the current cost basis of measurement . The financial capital maintenance concept , however , does not require the use of a particular basis of measurement . Selection of the basis under this concept is dependent on the type of financial capital that the entity is seeking to maintain . Par . 107 . The principal difference between the two concepts of capital maintenance is the treatment of the effects of changes in the prices of assets and liabilities of the entity . In general terms , an entity has maintained its capital if it has as much capital at the end of the period as it had at the beginning of the period . Any amount over and above that required to maintain the capital at the beginning of the period is profit . Par . 108 . Under the concept of financial capital maintenance where capital is defined in terms of nominal monetary units , profit represents the increase in nominal money capital over the period . Thus , increases in the prices of assets held over the period , conventionally referred to as holding gains , are , conceptually , profits . They may not be recognised as such , however , until the assets are disposed of in an exchange transaction . When the concept of financial capital maintenance is defined in terms of constant purchasing power units , profit represents the increase in invested purchasing power over the period . Thus , only that part of the increase in the prices of assets that exceeds the increase in the general level of prices is regarded as profit . The rest of the increase is treated as a capital maintenance adjustment and , hence , as part of equity . Par . 109 . Under the concept of physical capital maintenance when capital is defined in terms of the physical productive capacity , profit represents the increase in that capital over the period . All price changes affecting the assets and liabilities of the entity are viewed as changes in the measurement of the physical productive capacity of the entity ; hence , they are treated as capital maintenance adjustments that are part of equity and not as profit . Par . 110 . The selection of the measurement bases and concept of capital maintenance will determine the accounting model used in the preparation of the financial statements . Different accounting models exhibit different degrees of relevance and reliability and , as in other areas , management must seek a balance between relevance and reliability . This Framework is applicable to a range of accounting models and provides guidance on preparing and presenting the financial statements constructed under the chosen model . At the present time , it is not the intention of the Board of IASC to prescribe a particular model other than in exceptional circumstances , such as for those entities reporting in the currency of a hyperinflationary economy . This intention will , however , be reviewed in the light of world developments . Requirements ( edit ) Main article : Requirements of IFRS IFRS financial statements consist of ( IAS1. 8 ) a Statement of Financial Position a Statement of Comprehensive Income separate statements comprising an Income Statement and separately a Statement of Comprehensive Income , which reconciles Profit or Loss on the Income statement to total comprehensive income a Statement of Changes in Equity ( SOCE ) a Cash Flow Statement or Statement of Cash Flows notes , including a summary of the significant accounting policies Comparative information is required for the prior reporting period ( IAS 1.36 ) . An entity preparing IFRS accounts for the first time must apply IFRS in full for the current and comparative period although there are transitional exemptions ( IFRS1. 7 ) . On 6 September 2007 , the IASB issued a revised IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements . The main changes from the previous version are to require that an entity must : present all non-owner changes in equity ( that is , ' comprehensive income ' ) either in one Statement of comprehensive income or in two statements ( a separate income statement and a statement of comprehensive income ) . Components of comprehensive income may not be presented in the Statement of changes in equity . present a statement of financial position ( balance sheet ) as of the beginning of the earliest comparative period in a complete set of financial statements when the entity applies the new standard . present a statement of cash flow . make necessary disclosure by the way of a note . The revised IAS 1 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009 . Early adoption is permitted . Criticisms ( edit ) In 2012 the US Securities and Exchange Commission Staff issued a 127 - page report of potential issues with IFRS that would need to be addressed before adoption by the United States . The staff of the IFRS Foundation provided a detailed answer on the main criticisms in the SEC staff report . A number of criticisms were voiced in the beginning of 2013 in the French media to which the IASB Board member Philippe Danjou responded in his document ' An Update on International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRSs ) . ' It is widely acknowledged that IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies had no positive effect during the six years it was implemented during hyperinflation in Zimbabwe . This led people to ask the purpose of IAS 29 . As of March 2014 , IAS 29 was being implemented in its original ineffective form in Venezuela and Belarus . It was suggested to the IASB in 2012 that IAS 29 should be corrected to require daily indexation which would result in effective constant purchasing power accounting and would stabilize the non-monetary economy during hyperinflation . The IASB has offered no response to date ( March 2014 ) to this criticism and has not yet altered IAS 29 to require daily indexation . Adoption ( edit ) IFRS are used in many parts of the world , including the South Korea , European Union , India , Hong Kong , Australia , Malaysia , Pakistan , GCC countries , Russia , Chile , Philippines , South Africa , Singapore and Turkey , but not in the United States . It is generally expected that IFRS adoption worldwide will be beneficial to investors and other users of financial statements , by reducing the costs of comparing alternative investments and increasing the quality of information . Companies are also expected to benefit , as investors will be more willing to provide financing . Companies that have high levels of international activities are among the group that would benefit from a switch to IFRS . Companies that are involved in foreign activities and investing benefit from the switch due to the increased comparability of a set accounting standard . However , Ray J. Ball has expressed some skepticism of the overall cost of the international standard ; he argues that the enforcement of the standards could be lax , and the regional differences in accounting could become obscured behind a label . He also expressed concerns about the fair value emphasis of IFRS and the influence of accountants from non-common - law regions , where losses have been recognized in a less timely manner . To assess progress towards the goal of a single set global accounting standards , the IFRS Foundation has developed and posted profiles about the use of IFRSs in individual jurisdictions . These were based on information from various sources . The starting point was the responses provided by standard - setting and other relevant bodies to a survey that the IFRS Foundation conducted . Currently , profiles are completed for 124 jurisdictions , including all of the G20 jurisdictions plus 104 others . Eventually , the plan is to have a profile for every jurisdiction that has adopted IFRSs , or is on a programme toward adoption of IFRSs . Australia ( edit ) The Australian Accounting Standards Board ( AASB ) has issued ' Australian equivalents to IFRS ' ( A-IFRS ) , numbering IFRS standards as AASB 1 -- 8 and IAS standards as AASB 101 -- 141 . Australian equivalents to SIC and IFRIC Interpretations have also been issued , along with a number of ' domestic ' standards and interpretations . These pronouncements replaced previous Australian generally accepted accounting principles with effect from annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005 ( i.e. 30 June 2006 was the first report prepared under IFRS - equivalent standards for June year ends ) . To this end , Australia , along with Europe and a few other countries , was one of the initial adopters of IFRS for domestic purposes ( in the developed world ) . It must be acknowledged , however , that IFRS and primarily IAS have been part and parcel of accounting standard package in the developing world for many years since the relevant accounting bodies were more open to adoption of international standards for many reasons including that of capability . The AASB has made certain amendments to the IASB pronouncements in making A-IFRS , however these generally have the effect of eliminating an option under IFRS , introducing additional disclosures or implementing requirements for not - for - profit entities , rather than departing from IFRS for Australian entities . Accordingly , for - profit entities that prepare financial statements in accordance with A-IFRS are able to make an unreserved statement of compliance with IFRS . The AASB continues to mirror changes made by the IASB as local pronouncements . In addition , over recent years , the AASB has issued so - called ' Amending Standards ' to reverse some of the initial changes made to the IFRS text for local terminology differences , to reinstate options and eliminate some Australian - specific disclosure . There are some calls for Australia to simply adopt IFRS without ' Australianising ' them and this has resulted in the AASB itself looking at alternative ways of adopting IFRS in Australia . Brazil ( edit ) Brazil has already adopted IFRS for all companies whose securities are publicly traded and for most financial institutions whose securities are not publicly traded , for both consolidated and separate ( individual ) company financial statements . Canada ( edit ) The use of IFRS became a requirement for Canadian publicly accountable profit - oriented enterprises for financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011 . This includes public companies and other `` profit - oriented enterprises that are responsible to large or diverse groups of shareholders . '' European Union ( edit ) In 2002 the European Union agreed that from 1 January 2005 International Accounting Standards / International Financial Reporting Standards would apply for the consolidated accounts of the EU listed companies . In order to be approved for use in the EU , standards must be endorsed by the Accounting Regulatory Committee ( ARC ) , which includes representatives of member state governments and is advised by a group of accounting experts known as the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group . As a result , IFRS as applied in the EU may differ from that used elsewhere . Parts of the standard IAS 39 : Financial Instruments : Recognition and Measurement were not originally approved by the ARC . IAS 39 was subsequently amended , removing the option to record financial liabilities at fair value , and the ARC approved the amended version . The IASB is working with the EU to find an acceptable way to remove a remaining anomaly in respect of hedge accounting . The World Bank Centre for Financial Reporting Reform is working with countries in the ECA region to facilitate the adoption of IFRS and IFRS for SMEs . Whilst the IASB set the effective dates for the new consolidation standards IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements , IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities at 1 January 2013 , the ARC decided to delay the mandatory effective date for the companies listed in the European Union by one year . The standards therefore only became effective on 1 January 2014 . The European Commission has launched a general analysis of the impacts of 8 years of use of international financial reporting standards ( IFRSs ) in the EU for preparers and users of financial statements from the private sector . The study will include an overall assessment of whether the Regulation 1606 / 2002 of the European Parliament and the Council ( ' IAS Regulation ' ) has met the two-fold initial objectives of ensuring a high degree of transparency and comparability of the financial statements of European companies and an efficient functioning of the market , in comparison with the situation before IFRS implementation in 2005 . It will also include a cost - benefit analysis and an assessment and analysis of the benefits and drawbacks brought by the IAS Regulation for different stakeholder groups . Ghana ( edit ) Ghana transitioned from the Ghana Accounting Standards ( GAS ) to adopt the IFRS on January 1 , 2007 . As of 2008 and beyond , a legislative injunction has been imposed on the Bank of Ghana to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS ; thereby making it mandatory for all public entities in the country . India ( edit ) The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ( ICAI ) has announced that IFRS will be mandatory in India for financial statements for the periods beginning on or after 1 April 2016 in a phased manner . There is a roadmap issued by MCA for adoption of IFRS . Reserve Bank of India has stated that financial statements of banks need to be IFRS - compliant for periods beginning on or after 1 April 2011 . The ICAI has also stated that IFRS will be applied to companies above INR 1000 crore ( INR 10 billion ) from April 2011 . Phase wise applicability details for different companies in India : Phase 1 : Opening balance sheet as of 1 April 2011 * i . Companies which are part of NSE Index -- Nifty 50 ii . Companies which are part of BSE Index -- Sensex 30 a . Companies whose shares or other securities are listed on a stock exchange outside India b . Companies , whether listed or not , having net worth of more than INR 1000 crore ( INR 10 billion ) Phase 2 : Opening balance sheet as of 1 April 2012 * Companies not covered in phase 1 and having net worth exceeding INR 500 crore ( INR 5 billion ) Phase 3 : Opening balance sheet as of 1 April 2014 * Listed companies not covered in the earlier phases * If the financial year of a company commences at a date other than 1 April , then it shall prepare its opening balance sheet at the commencement of immediately following financial year . On 22 January 2010 , the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the road map for transition to IFRS . It is clear that India has deferred transition to IFRS by a year . In the first phase , companies included in Nifty 50 or BSE Sensex , and companies whose securities are listed on stock exchanges outside India and all other companies having net worth of INR 10 billion will prepare and present financial statements using Indian Accounting Standards converged with IFRS . According to the press note issued by the government , those companies will convert their first balance sheet as of 1 April 2011 , applying accounting standards convergent with IFRS if the accounting year ends on 31 March . This implies that the transition date will be 1 April 2011 . According to the earlier plan , the transition date was fixed at 1 April 2010 . The press note does not clarify whether the full set of financial statements for the year 2011 -- 12 will be prepared by applying accounting standards convergent with IFRS . The deferment of the transition may make companies happy , but it will undermine India 's position . Presumably , lack of preparedness of Indian companies has led to the decision to defer the adoption of IFRS for a year . This is unfortunate that India , which boasts for its IT and accounting skills , could not prepare itself for the transition to IFRS over last four years . But that might be the ground reality . Transition in phases Companies , whether listed or not , having net worth of more than INR 5 billion will convert their opening balance sheet as of 1 April 2013 . Listed companies having net worth of INR 5 billion or less will convert their opening balance sheet as of 1 April 2014 . Un-listed companies having net worth of Rs5 billion or less will continue to apply existing accounting standards , which might be modified from time to time . Transition to IFRS in phases is a smart move . The transition cost for smaller companies will be much lower because large companies will bear the initial cost of learning and smaller companies will not be required to reinvent the wheel . However , this will happen only if a significant number of large companies engage Indian accounting firms to provide them support in their transition to IFRS . If , most large companies , which will comply with Indian accounting standards convergent with IFRS in the first phase , choose one of the international firms , Indian accounting firms and smaller companies will not benefit from the learning in the first phase of the transition to IFRS . It is likely that international firms will protect their learning to retain their competitive advantage . Therefore , it is for the benefit of the country that each company makes judicious choice of the accounting firm as its partner without limiting its choice to international accounting firms . Public sector companies should take the lead and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ( ICAI ) should develop a clear strategy to diffuse the learning . Size of companies The government has decided to measure the size of companies in terms of net worth . This is not the ideal unit to measure the size of a company . Net worth in the balance sheet is determined by accounting principles and methods . Therefore , it does not include the value of intangible assets . Moreover , as most assets and liabilities are measured at historical cost , the net worth does not reflect the current value of those assets and liabilities . Market capitalisation is a better measure of the size of a company . But it is difficult to estimate market capitalisation or fundamental value of unlisted companies . This might be the reason that the government has decided to use ' net worth ' to measure size of companies . Some companies , which are large in terms of fundamental value or which intend to attract foreign capital , might prefer to use Indian accounting standards convergent with IFRS earlier than required under the road map presented by the government . The government should provide that choice . Japan ( edit ) The minister for Financial Services in Japan announced in late June 2011 that mandatory application of the IFRS should not take place from fiscal year - ending March 2015 ; five to seven years should be required for preparation if mandatory application is decided ; and to permit the use of U.S. GAAP beyond the fiscal year ending 31 March 2016 . Montenegro ( edit ) Montenegro gained independence from Serbia in 2006 . Its accounting standard setter is the Institute of Accountants and Auditors of Montenegro ( IAAM ) . In 2005 , IAAM adopted a revised version of the 2002 `` Law on Accounting and Auditing '' which authorized the use of IFRS for all entities . IFRS is currently required for all consolidated and standalone financial statements , however , enforcement is not effective except in the banking sector . Financial statements for banks in Montenegro are , generally , of high quality and can be compared to those of the European Union . Foreign companies listed on Montenegro 's two stock exchanges ( Montenegro Stock Exchange and NEX Stock Exchange ) are also required to apply IFRS in their financial statements . Montenegro does not have a national GAAP . Currently , no Montenegrin translation of IFRS exists , and because of this Montenegro applies the Serbian translation from 2010 . IFRS for SMEs is not currently applied in Montenegro . Nepal ( edit ) In Nepal the Accounting Standards Board ( ASB ) is in charge of standard setting . Nepal closely models its Financial Reporting Standards ( FRS ) according to the IFRS , with appropriate changes made to suit the Nepalese context . It has issued Nepal Financial Reporting Standards in 2013 . The 2013 version of standards almost resembles IFRS with slight modification . Pakistan ( edit ) All listed companies must follow all issued IAS / IFRS except the following : IAS 39 and IAS 41 : Implementation of these standards has been held in abeyance by State Bank of Pakistan for Banks and DFIs IFRS - 1 : Effective for the annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2004 . This IFRS is being considered for adoption for all companies other than banks and DFIs . IFRS - 9 : Under consideration of the relevant Committee of the Institutes ( ICAP & ICMAP ) . This IFRS will be effective for the annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 . Russia ( edit ) The government of Russia has been implementing a program to harmonize its national accounting standards with IFRS since 1998 . Since then twenty new accounting standards were issued by the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation aiming to align accounting practices with IFRS . Despite these efforts essential differences between Russian accounting standards and IFRS remain . Since 2004 all commercial banks have been obliged to prepare financial statements in accordance with both Russian accounting standards and IFRS . Full transition to IFRS is delayed but starting 2012 new modifications making Russian GAAP converging to IFRS have been made . They notably include the booking of reserves for bad debts and contingent liabilities and the devaluation of inventory and financial assets . Still , several differences between the two sets of account still remain . Major reasons for deviation between Russian GAAP and IFRS / US - GAAP ( e.g. when the Russian affiliate of a larger group need to be consolidated to the mother company ) are the following : Booking of payables in the general ledger according to national accounting standards can only be made upon receipt of the actual acceptance protocol ( good 's receipt ) . Indeed , in Russia , in contrast to IFRS and US - GAAP , the invoice ( outgoing or incoming ) is not an official tax or accounting document and does not trigger any booking . There is also no provision to book in the General Ledger any expense for goods and services that according to a contract are effectively received but for whom documents are still not exchanged . There is no possibility under Russian GAAP to recognise the good - will as an intangible asset in the balance sheet of a company . This has a major consequence when a company is sold . Indeed , if a company ( or part of it ) is sold at a higher value than its book value ( i.e. to account for the good - will value ) , the selling party need to pay tax at the relevant profit tax rate ( 20 % in 2013 ) on the difference in value between selling and accounting value and the buyer has no possibility to amortize the cost and deduct it from present and future revenues . There is no equivalent of IAS 37 in the Russian GAAP . Loans and monetary securities are not discounted , so the present value of such financial assets is not discounted for the relevant interest rates at the different maturities of the loans . Singapore ( edit ) In Singapore the Accounting Standards Committee ( ASC ) is in charge of standard setting . Singapore closely models its Financial Reporting Standards ( FRS ) according to the IFRS , with appropriate changes made to suit the Singapore context . Before a standard is enacted , consultations with the IASB are made to ensure consistency of core principles . South Africa ( edit ) All companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange have been required to comply with the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards since 1 January 2005 . The IFRS for SMEs may be applied by ' limited interest companies ' , as defined in the South African Corporate Laws Amendment Act of 2006 ( that is , they are not ' widely held ' ) , if they do not have public accountability ( that is , not listed and not a financial institution ) . Alternatively , the company may choose to apply full South African Statements of GAAP or IFRS . South African Statements of GAAP are entirely consistent with IFRS , although there may be a delay between issuance of an IFRS and the equivalent SA Statement of GAAP ( can affect voluntary early adoption ) . South African Statements of GAAP were withdrawn by the Financial Reporting Standards Council ( FASC ) per the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants ( SAICA ) for financial years commencing on or after 1 December 2012 . Taiwan ( edit ) Adoption scope and timetable ( 1 ) Phase I companies : listed companies and financial institutions supervised by the Financial Supervisory Commission ( FSC ) , except for credit cooperatives , credit card companies and insurance intermediaries : A. They will be required to prepare financial statements in accordance with Taiwan - IFRS starting from 1 January 2013 . B. Early optional adoption : Firms that have already issued securities overseas , or have registered an overseas securities issuance with the FSC , or have a market capitalization of greater than NT $10 billion , will be permitted to prepare additional consolidated financial statements in accordance with Taiwan - IFRS starting from 1 January 2012 . If a company without subsidiaries is not required to prepare consolidated financial statements , it will be permitted to prepare additional individual financial statements on the above conditions . ( 2 ) Phase II companies : unlisted public companies , credit cooperatives and credit card companies : A. They will be required to prepare financial statements in accordance with Taiwan - IFRS starting from 1 January 2019 B. They will be permitted to apply Taiwan - IFRS starting from 1 January 2013 . ( 3 ) Pre-disclosure about the IFRS adoption plan , and the impact of adoption To prepare properly for IFRS adoption , domestic companies should propose an IFRS adoption plan and establish a specific taskforce . They should also disclose the related information from 2 years prior to adoption , as follows : A. Phase I companies : ( A ) They will be required to disclose the adoption plan , and the impact of adoption , in 2011 annual financial statements , and in 2012 interim and annual financial statements . ( B ) Early optional adoption : a . Companies adopting IFRS early will be required to disclose the adoption plan , and the impact of adoption , in 2010 annual financial statements , and in 2011 interim and annual financial statements . b . If a company opts for early adoption of Taiwan - IFRS after 1 January 2011 , it will be required to disclose the adoption plan , and the impact of adoption , in 2011 interim and annual financial statements commencing on the decision date . B. Phase II companies will be required to disclose the related information from 2 years prior to adoption , as stated above . Jump up ^ To maintain the consistency of information declaration and supervision with other companies , the early adopted companies should still prepare individual and consolidated financial statements in accordance with domestic accounting standards .

Turkey ( edit ) The Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency and Capital Markets Board of Turkey translated IFRS into Turkish in 2002 . Banks and Turkish companies listed on the Istanbul Stock Exchange are required to prepare IFRS reports since then . The Turkish Accounting Standards Board ( called the Public Oversight Authority after 2011 ) also translated IFRS in 2005 . The new Commercial Code came into force in 2012 . The Public Oversight Authority is the only authorized board regarding auditing and financial reporting standards . Most businesses authorized by the Council of Ministers in addition to banks and Turkish companies listed on the Istanbul Stock Exchange are required to prepare IFRS reports since 2012 .

For the soil , see Soil fertility . Infertility Specialty Urology , gynecology Frequency 113 million ( 2015 ) Infertility is the inability of a person , animal or plant to reproduce by natural means . It is usually not the natural state of a healthy adult , except notably among certain eusocial species ( mostly haplodiploid insects ) . In humans , infertility is the inability to become pregnant or carry a pregnancy to full term . There are many causes of infertility , including some that medical intervention can treat . Estimates from 1997 suggest that worldwide about five percent of all heterosexual couples have an unresolved problem with infertility . Many more couples , however , experience involuntary childlessness for at least one year : estimates range from 12 % to 28 % . '' 20 - 30 % of infertility cases are due to male infertility , 20 - 35 % are due to female infertility , and 25 - 40 % are due to combined problems in both parts . In 10 - 20 % of cases , no cause is found . The most common cause of female infertility is ovulatory problems which generally manifest themselves by sparse or absent menstrual periods . Male infertility is most commonly due to deficiencies in the semen , and semen quality is used as a surrogate measure of male fecundity . Women who are fertile experience a natural period of fertility before and during ovulation , and they are naturally infertile for the rest of the menstrual cycle . Fertility awareness methods are used to discern when these changes occur by tracking changes in cervical mucus or basal body temperature . Contents ( hide ) 1 Definition 1.1 World Health Organization 1.2 United States 1.3 United Kingdom 1.4 Other definitions 1.5 Primary vs. secondary infertility 2 Effects 2.1 Psychological 2.2 Social 3 Causes 3.1 Immune infertility 3.2 Sexually transmitted infections 3.3 Genetic 3.4 Other causes 3.5 Females 3.6 Males 3.7 Combined infertility 3.8 Unexplained infertility 4 Diagnosis 5 Treatment 5.1 Medical treatments 5.1. 1 In vitro fertilization 5.1. 2 Intracytoplasmic sperm injection 5.2 Tourism 6 Epidemiology 7 Society and culture 7.1 Ethics 7.2 Developing countries 8 See also 9 References 10 Further reading 11 External links Definition ( edit ) `` Demographers tend to define infertility as childlessness in a population of women of reproductive age , '' whereas `` the epidemiological definition refers to `` trying for '' or `` time to '' a pregnancy , generally in a population of women exposed to '' a probability of conception . Currently , female fertility normally peaks at age 24 and diminishes after 30 , with pregnancy occurring rarely after age 50 . A female is most fertile within 24 hours of ovulation . Male fertility peaks usually at age 25 and declines after age 40 . The time needed to pass ( during which the couple tries to conceive ) for that couple to be diagnosed with infertility differs between different jurisdictions . Existing definitions of infertility lack uniformity , rendering comparisons in prevalence between countries or over time problematic . Therefore , data estimating the prevalence of infertility cited by various sources differs significantly . A couple that tries unsuccessfully to have a child after a certain period of time ( often a short period , but definitions vary ) is sometimes said to be subfertile , meaning less fertile than a typical couple . Both infertility and subfertility are defined as the inability to conceive after a certain period of time ( the length of which vary ) , so often the two terms overlap . World health Organization ( edit ) The World Health Organization defines infertility as follows : `` Infertility is `` a disease of the reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse ( and there is no other reason , such as breastfeeding or postpartum amenorrhoea ) . Primary infertility is infertility in a couple who have never had a child . Secondary infertility is failure to conceive following a previous pregnancy . Infertility may be caused by infection in the man or woman , but often there is no obvious underlying cause . '' United States ( edit ) One definition of infertility that is frequently used in the United States by reproductive endocrinologists , doctors who specialize in infertility , to consider a couple eligible for treatment is : a woman under 35 has not conceived after 12 months of contraceptive - free intercourse . Twelve months is the lower reference limit for Time to Pregnancy ( TTP ) by the World Health Organization . a woman over 35 has not conceived after 6 months of contraceptive - free sexual intercourse . These time intervals would seem to be reversed ; this is an area where public policy trumps science . The idea is that for women beyond age 35 , every month counts and if made to wait another 6 months to prove the necessity of medical intervention , the problem could become worse . The corollary to this is that , by definition , failure to conceive in women under 35 is n't regarded with the same urgency as it is in those over 35 . United kingdom ( edit ) In the UK , previous NICE guidelines defined infertility as failure to conceive after regular unprotected sexual intercourse for 2 years in the absence of known reproductive pathology . Updated NICE guidelines do not include a specific definition , but recommend that `` A woman of reproductive age who has not conceived after 1 year of unprotected vaginal sexual intercourse , in the absence of any known cause of infertility , should be offered further clinical assessment and investigation along with her partner , with earlier referral to a specialist if the woman is over 36 years of age . Other definitions ( edit ) Researchers commonly base demographic studies on infertility prevalence on a five - year period . Practical measurement problems , however , exist for any definition , because it is difficult to measure continuous exposure to the risk of pregnancy over a period of years . Primary vs. secondary infertility ( edit ) Primary infertility is defined as the absence of a live birth for women who desire a child and have been in a union for at least 12 months , during which they have not used any contraceptives . The World Health Organisation also adds that ' women whose pregnancy spontaneously miscarries , or whose pregnancy results in a still born child , without ever having had a live birth would present with primarily infertility ' . Secondary infertility is defined as the absence of a live birth for women who desire a child and have been in a union for at least 12 months since their last live birth , during which they did not use any contraceptives . Thus the distinguishing feature is whether or not the couple have ever had a pregnancy which led to a live birth . Effects ( edit ) Psychological ( edit ) The consequences of infertility are manifold and can include societal repercussions and personal suffering . Advances in assisted reproductive technologies , such as IVF , can offer hope to many couples where treatment is available , although barriers exist in terms of medical coverage and affordability . The medicalization of infertility has unwittingly led to a disregard for the emotional responses that couples experience , which include distress , loss of control , stigmatization , and a disruption in the developmental trajectory of adulthood . Infertility may have psychological effects . Partners may become more anxious to conceive , increasing sexual dysfunction . Marital discord often develops , especially when they are under pressure to make medical decisions . Women trying to conceive often have depression rates similar to women who have heart disease or cancer . Emotional stress and marital difficulties are greater in couples where the infertility lies with the man . Older people with adult children appear to live longer . Why this is the case is unclear and may dependent in part on those who have children adopting a healthier lifestyle , support from children , or the circumstances that led to not having children . Social ( edit ) In many cultures , inability to conceive bears a stigma . In closed social groups , a degree of rejection ( or a sense of being rejected by the couple ) may cause considerable anxiety and disappointment . Some respond by actively avoiding the issue altogether ; middle - class men are the most likely to respond in this way . In the United States some treatments for infertility , including diagnostic tests , surgery and therapy for depression , can qualify one for Family and Medical Leave Act leave . It has been suggested that infertility be classified as a form of disability . Causes ( edit ) Immune infertility ( edit ) Antisperm antibodies ( ASA ) have been considered as infertility cause in around 10 -- 30 % of infertile couples . In both men and women , ASA production are directed against surface antigens on sperm , which can interfere with sperm motility and transport through the female reproductive tract , inhibiting capacitation and acrosome reaction , impaired fertilization , influence on the implantation process , and impaired growth and development of the embryo . Factors contributing to the formation of antisperm antibodies in women are disturbance of normal immunoregulatory mechanisms , infection , violation of the integrity of the mucous membranes , accidental rape and unprotected oral or anal sex . Risk factors for the formation of antisperm antibodies in men include the breakdown of the blood ‐ testis barrier , trauma and surgery , orchitis , varicocele , infections , prostatitis , testicular cancer , failure of immunosuppression and unprotected receptive anal or oral sex with men . Sexually transmitted infections ( edit ) Infections with the following sexually transmitted pathogens have a negative effect on fertility : Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae . There is a consistent association of Mycoplasma genitalium infection and female reproductive tract syndromes . M. genitalium infection is associated with increased risk of infertility . Genetic ( edit ) Main article : Genetics of infertility A Robertsonian translocation in either partner may cause recurrent spontaneous abortions or complete infertility . Mutations to NR5A1 gene encoding Steroidogenic Factor - 1 ( SF - 1 ) have been found in a small subset of men with non-obstructive male factor infertility where the cause is unknown . Results of one study investigating a cohort of 315 men revealed changes within the hinge region of SF - 1 and no rare allelic variants in fertile control men . Affected individuals displayed more severe forms of infertility such as azoospermia and severe oligozoospermia . Other causes ( edit ) Factors that can cause male as well as female infertility are : DNA damage DNA damage reduces fertility in female ovocytes , as caused by smoking , other xenobiotic DNA damaging agents ( such as radiation or chemotherapy ) or accumulation of the oxidative DNA damage 8 - hydroxy - deoxyguanosine DNA damage reduces fertility in male sperm , as caused by oxidative DNA damage , smoking , other xenobiotic DNA damaging agents ( such as drugs or chemotherapy ) or other DNA damaging agents including reactive oxygen species , fever or high testicular temperature . The damaged DNA related to infertility manifests itself by the increased susceptibility to denaturation inducible by heat or acid and / or by the presence of double - strand breaks that can be detected by the TUNEL assay . General factors Diabetes mellitus , thyroid disorders , undiagnosed and untreated coeliac disease , adrenal disease Hypothalamic - pituitary factors Hyperprolactinemia Hypopituitarism The presence of anti-thyroid antibodies is associated with an increased risk of unexplained subfertility with an odds ratio of 1.5 and 95 % confidence interval of 1.1 -- 2.0 . Environmental factors Toxins such as glues , volatile organic solvents or silicones , physical agents , chemical dusts , and pesticides . Tobacco smokers are 60 % more likely to be infertile than non-smokers . German scientists have reported that a virus called Adeno - associated virus might have a role in male infertility , though it is otherwise not harmful . Other diseases such as chlamydia , and gonorrhea can also cause infertility , due to internal scarring ( fallopian tube obstruction ) . Females ( edit ) Further information : Female infertility The following causes of infertility may only be found in females . For a woman to conceive , certain things have to happen : vaginal intercourse must take place around the time when an egg is released from her ovary ; the system that produces eggs has to be working at optimum levels ; and her hormones must be balanced . For women , problems with fertilisation arise mainly from either structural problems in the Fallopian tube or uterus or problems releasing eggs . Infertility may be caused by blockage of the Fallopian tube due to malformations , infections such as chlamydia and / or scar tissue . For example , endometriosis can cause infertility with the growth of endometrial tissue in the Fallopian tubes and / or around the ovaries . Endometriosis is usually more common in women in their mid-twenties and older , especially when postponed childbirth has taken place . Another major cause of infertility in women may be the inability to ovulate . Malformation of the eggs themselves may complicate conception . For example , polycystic ovarian syndrome is when the eggs only partially developed within the ovary and there is an excess of male hormones . Some women are infertile because their ovaries do not mature and release eggs . In this case synthetic FSH by injection or Clomid ( Clomiphene citrate ) via a pill can be given to stimulate follicles to mature in the ovaries . Other factors that can affect a woman 's chances of conceiving include being overweight or underweight , or her age as female fertility declines after the age of 30 . Sometimes it can be a combination of factors , and sometimes a clear cause is never established . Common causes of infertility of females include : ovulation problems ( e.g. polycystic ovarian syndrome , PCOS , the leading reason why women present to fertility clinics due to anovulatory infertility . ) tubal blockage pelvic inflammatory disease caused by infections like tuberculosis age - related factors uterine problems previous tubal ligation endometriosis advanced maternal age immune infertility Males ( edit ) Further information : Male infertility The main cause of male infertility is low semen quality . In men who have the necessary reproductive organs to procreate , infertility can be caused by low sperm count due to endocrine problems , drugs , radiation , or infection . There may be testicular malformations , hormone imbalance , or blockage of the man 's duct system . Although many of these can be treated through surgery or hormonal substitutions , some may be indefinite . Infertility associated with viable , but immotile sperm may be caused by primary ciliary dyskinesia . The sperm must provide the zygote with DNA , centrioles , and activation factor for the embryo to develop . A defect in any of these sperm structures may result in infertility that will not be detected by semen analysis . Antisperm antibodies cause immune infertility . Combined infertility ( edit ) In some cases , both the man and woman may be infertile or sub-fertile , and the couple 's infertility arises from the combination of these conditions . In other cases , the cause is suspected to be immunological or genetic ; it may be that each partner is independently fertile but the couple can not conceive together without assistance . Unexplained infertility ( edit ) Main article : Unexplained infertility In the US , up to 20 % of infertile couples have unexplained infertility . In these cases abnormalities are likely to be present but not detected by current methods . Possible problems could be that the egg is not released at the optimum time for fertilization , that it may not enter the fallopian tube , sperm may not be able to reach the egg , fertilization may fail to occur , transport of the zygote may be disturbed , or implantation fails . It is increasingly recognized that egg quality is of critical importance and women of advanced maternal age have eggs of reduced capacity for normal and successful fertilization . Also , polymorphisms in folate pathway genes could be one reason for fertility complications in some women with unexplained infertility . However , a growing body of evidence suggests that epigenetic modifications in sperm may be partially responsible . Diagnosis ( edit ) Main article : Fertility testing If both partners are young and healthy and have been trying to conceive for one year without success , a visit to a physician or women 's health nurse practitioner ( WHNP ) could help to highlight potential medical problems earlier rather than later . The doctor or WHNP may also be able to suggest lifestyle changes to increase the chances of conceiving . Women over the age of 35 should see their physician or WHNP after six months as fertility tests can take some time to complete , and age may affect the treatment options that are open in that case . A doctor or WHNP takes a medical history and gives a physical examination . They can also carry out some basic tests on both partners to see if there is an identifiable reason for not having achieved a pregnancy . If necessary , they refer patients to a fertility clinic or local hospital for more specialized tests . The results of these tests help determine the best fertility treatment . Treatment ( edit ) See also : Male infertility § Hormonal therapy Treatment depends on the cause of infertility , but may include counselling , fertility treatments , which include in vitro fertilization . According to ESHRE recommendations , couples with an estimated live birth rate of 40 % or higher per year are encouraged to continue aiming for a spontaneous pregnancy . Treatment methods for infertility may be grouped as medical or complementary and alternative treatments . Some methods may be used in concert with other methods . Drugs used for both women and men include clomiphene citrate , human menopausal gonadotropin ( hMG ) , follicle - stimulating hormone ( FSH ) , human chorionic gonadotropin ( hCG ) , gonadotropin - releasing hormone ( GnRH ) analogues , aromatase inhibitors , and metformin . Medical treatments ( edit ) Medical treatment of infertility generally involves the use of fertility medication , medical device , surgery , or a combination of the following . If the sperm are of good quality and the mechanics of the woman 's reproductive structures are good ( patent fallopian tubes , no adhesions or scarring ) , a course of ovarian stimulating medication maybe used . The physician or WHNP may also suggest using a conception cap cervical cap , which the patient uses at home by placing the sperm inside the cap and putting the conception device on the cervix , or intrauterine insemination ( IUI ) , in which the doctor or WHNP introduces sperm into the uterus during ovulation , via a catheter . In these methods , fertilization occurs inside the body . If conservative medical treatments fail to achieve a full term pregnancy , the physician or WHNP may suggest the patient undergo in vitro fertilization ( IVF ) . IVF and related techniques ( ICSI , ZIFT , GIFT ) are called assisted reproductive technology ( ART ) techniques . ART techniques generally start with stimulating the ovaries to increase egg production . After stimulation , the physician surgically extracts one or more eggs from the ovary , and unites them with sperm in a laboratory setting , with the intent of producing one or more embryos . Fertilization takes place outside the body , and the fertilized egg is reinserted into the woman 's reproductive tract , in a procedure called embryo transfer . Other medical techniques are e.g. tuboplasty , assisted hatching , and Preimplantation genetic diagnosis . In vitro fertilization ( edit ) IVF is the most commonly used ART . It has been proven useful in overcoming infertility conditions , such as blocked or damaged tubes , endometriosis , repeated IUI failure , unexplained infertility , poor ovarian reserve , poor or even nil sperm count . Intracytoplasmic sperm injection ( edit ) ICSI technique is used in case of poor semen quality , low sperm count or failed fertilization attempts during prior IVF cycles . This technique involves an injection of a single healthy sperm directly injected into mature egg . The fertilized embryo is then transferred to womb . Tourism ( edit ) Main article : Fertility tourism Fertility tourism is the practice of traveling to another country for fertility treatments . It may be regarded as a form of medical tourism . The main reasons for fertility tourism are legal regulation of the sought procedure in the home country , or lower price . In - vitro fertilization and donor insemination are major procedures involved . Epidemiology ( edit ) Prevalence of infertility varies depending on the definition , i.e. on the time span involved in the failure to conceive . Infertility rates have increased by 4 % since the 1980s , mostly from problems with fecundity due to an increase in age . Fertility problems affect one in seven couples in the UK . Most couples ( about 84 % ) who have regular sexual intercourse ( that is , every two to three days ) and who do not use contraception get pregnant within a year . About 92 out of 100 couples who are trying to get pregnant do so within two years . Women become less fertile as they get older . For women aged 35 , about 94 % who have regular unprotected sexual intercourse get pregnant after three years of trying . For women aged 38 , however , only about 77 % . The effect of age upon men 's fertility is less clear . In people going forward for IVF in the UK , roughly half of fertility problems with a diagnosed cause are due to problems with the man , and about half due to problems with the woman . However , about one in five cases of infertility has no clear diagnosed cause . In Britain , male factor infertility accounts for 25 % of infertile couples , while 25 % remain unexplained . 50 % are female causes with 25 % being due to anovulation and 25 % tubal problems / other . In Sweden , approximately 10 % of couples wanting children are infertile . In approximately one third of these cases the man is the factor , in one third the woman is the factor , and in the remaining third the infertility is a product of factors on both parts . Society and culture ( edit ) Perhaps except for infertility in science fiction , films and other fiction depicting emotional struggles of assisted reproductive technology have had an upswing first in the latter part of the 2000s decade , although the techniques have been available for decades . Yet , the number of people that can relate to it by personal experience in one way or another is ever growing , and the variety of trials and struggles is huge . Pixar 's Up contains a depiction of infertility in an extended life montage that lasts the first few minutes of the film . Other individual examples are referred to individual subarticles of assisted reproductive technology Ethics ( edit ) There are several ethical issues associated with infertility and its treatment . High - cost treatments are out of financial reach for some couples . Debate over whether health insurance companies ( e.g. in the US ) should be required to cover infertility treatment . Allocation of medical resources that could be used elsewhere The legal status of embryos fertilized in vitro and not transferred in vivo . ( See also Beginning of pregnancy controversy ) . Pro-life opposition to the destruction of embryos not transferred in vivo . IVF and other fertility treatments have resulted in an increase in multiple births , provoking ethical analysis because of the link between multiple pregnancies , premature birth , and a host of health problems . Religious leaders ' opinions on fertility treatments ; for example , the Roman Catholic Church views infertility as a calling to adopt or to use natural treatments ( medication , surgery , and / or cycle charting ) and members must reject assisted reproductive technologies . Infertility caused by DNA defects on the Y chromosome is passed on from father to son . If natural selection is the primary error correction mechanism that prevents random mutations on the Y chromosome , then fertility treatments for men with abnormal sperm ( in particular ICSI ) only defer the underlying problem to the next male generation . Many countries have special frameworks for dealing with the ethical and social issues around fertility treatment . One of the best known is the HFEA -- The UK 's regulator for fertility treatment and embryo research . This was set up on 1 August 1991 following a detailed commission of enquiry led by Mary Warnock in the 1980s A similar model to the HFEA has been adopted by the rest of the countries in the European Union . Each country has its own body or bodies responsible for the inspection and licensing of fertility treatment under the EU Tissues and Cells directive Regulatory bodies are also found in Canada and in the state of Victoria in Australia Developing countries ( edit ) hide This section has multiple issues .

( September 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Infertility is often not seen ( by the West ) as being an issue outside industrialized countries . This is because of assumptions about overpopulation problems and hyper fertility in developing countries , and a perceived need for them to decrease their populations and birth rates . The lack of health care and high rates of life - threatening illness ( such as HIV / AIDS ) in developing countries , such as those in Africa , are supporting reasons for the inadequate supply of fertility treatment options . Fertility treatments , even simple ones such as treatment for STIs that cause infertility , are therefore not usually made available to individuals in these countries . Despite this , infertility has profound effects on individuals in developing countries , as the production of children is often highly socially valued and is vital for social security and health networks as well as for family income generation . Infertility in these societies often leads to social stigmatization and abandonment by spouses . Infertility is , in fact , common in sub-Saharan Africa . Unlike in the West , secondary infertility is more common than primary infertility , being most often the result of untreated STIs or complications from pregnancy / birth . Due to the assumptions surrounding issues of hyper - fertility in developing countries , ethical controversy surrounds the idea of whether or not access to assisted reproductive technologies should comprise a critical aspect of reproductive health or at least , whether or not the distribution and access of such technologies should be subject to greater equity . However , as highlighted by Inhorn the overarching conceptualisation of infertility , to a great extent , disguises important distinctions that can be made within a local context , both demographically and epidemiological and moreover , that these factors are highly significant in the ethics of reproduction . An important factor , argues Inhorn , is the positioning of men within the paradigm of reproductive health , whereby because rates of general infertility mask differences between male and female infertility , men remain a largely invisible facet within the theorisation and discourse surrounding infertility , as well as the related treatments and biotechnologies . This is particularly significant given that male infertility accounts for more than half of all cases of infertility and moreover , it is evident that the attitudes and behaviours of men have profound implications for the reproductive health of both individuals and couples . For example , Inhorn notes that when couples in Egypt are faced with seemingly intractable infertility problems - due to a range of family and societal pressures that centre around the place of children in constituting the gender identity of men and women - it is often the women who is forced to seek continued treatment ; this continues to occur , even in known instances of male infertility and that the constant seeking of treatment frequently becomes iatrogenic for the women . Inhorn states that infertility often leads to `` marital demise , physical violence , emotional abuse , social exclusion , community exile , ineffective and iatrogenic therapies , poverty , old age insecurity , increased risk of HIV / AIDS , and death '' Significantly , Inhorn demonstrates that this phenomenon can not simply be explained by a lack of knowledge , rather it occurs in a complex interaction between the centrality of children in the male gender identity as a symbol of maturity and the relative lack of power of women in Egyptian society , whereby they effectively become scapegoats for a culturally accepted narrative as a site of blame for the lack of childlessness . It should be emphasised that this is not simply an issue of `` women oppressed by men '' but rather , that men and women both share the burden of this narrative , but in different , unequal and highly complex ways . Therefore , while the notion that reproductive health is a ' women 's issue ' , may have powerful social currency , especially within popular discourse and indigenous systems of meaning , the reality of infertility suggests that medical and health paradigms have a significant part to play in challenging the validity of this entrenched belief . Moreover , the effectiveness of any therapeutic intervention , medical or otherwise will be contingent on such outcomes and has an important part to play in the alleviation of gendered suffering , especially the burden imposed on women , who continue to suffer disproportionately from the effects of infertility . High costs may also be a factor and research by the Genk Institute for Fertility Technology , in Belgium , claimed a much lower cost methodology ( about 90 % reduction ) with similar efficacy , which may be suitable for some fertility treatment . At the 1994 United Nations International Conference on Population and Development ( ICPD ) in Cairo , the prevention and treatment of infertility was accepted into the program of action for reproductive healthcare . Infertility has shown to have a greater effect on developing nations than on birth rates or population control , but also on a social level as well . Reproduction is a large aspect of life for many cultures within developing nations , and infertility can lead to social and familial problems such as rejection or abandonment as well as personal psychological issues . Currently , fertility treatment options and programs are only available through private health sectors in developing nations and little - to - no treatment is available through public health sectors . The fertility treatment options offered through the private sectors are often costly or not easily accessible . Additionally , counseling is considered an essential aspect of fertility treatment , and due to lack of education and resources such forms of therapy remain scarce as well . While quality fertility care is not readily available in developing nations ( such as sub-Saharan African countries ) , a standard procedure of care could be easily implemented for a low cost as a basic intervention . The lack of fertility treatment is problematic , and high birth and population rates are every reason to implement treatment options rather than reject them .

Physicians should investigate women with unexplained infertility , recurrent miscarriage or IUGR for undiagnosed CD . ( ... ) CD can present with several non-gastrointestinal symptoms and it may escape timely recognition . Thus , given the heterogeneity of clinical presentation , many atypical cases of CD go undiagnosed , leading to a risk of long - term complications . Among atypical symptoms of CD , disorders of fertility , such as delayed menarche , early menopause , amenorrhea or infertility , and pregnancy complications , such as recurrent abortions , intrauterine growth restriction ( IUGR ) , small for gestational age ( SGA ) babies , low birthweight ( LBW ) babies or preterm deliveries , must be factored . ( ... ) However , the risk is significantly reduced by a gluten - free diet . These patients should therefore be made aware of the potential negative effects of active CD also in terms of reproductive performances , and of the importance of a strict diet to ameliorate their health condition and reproductive health .

Women seeking medical advice for this particular condition should be screened for celiac disease . Adoption of a gluten - free diet could have a positive impact on fertility in this group of patients. ( ... ) According to our results , non-diagnosed untreated CD constitutes a risk factor significantly associated with infertility in women . When comparing studies that enrolled patients previously diagnosed with CD , this association is not as evident as in the former context . This could be related to the effect that adoption of a gluten - free diet ( GFD ) may have on this particular health issue .

It was during this time that the early chordates developed the skull and the vertebral column , leading to the first craniates and vertebrates . The first fish lineages belong to the Agnatha , or jawless fish . Early examples include Haikouichthys . During the late Cambrian , eel - like jawless fish called the conodonts , and small mostly armoured fish known as ostracoderms , first appeared . Most jawless fish are now extinct ; but the extant lampreys may approximate ancient pre-jawed fish . Lampreys belong to the Cyclostomata , which includes the extant hagfish , and this group may have split early on from other agnathans . The first jawed vertebrates probably developed during the late Ordovician period . They are first represented in the fossil record from the Silurian by two groups of fish : the armoured fish known as placoderms , which evolved from the ostracoderms ; and the Acanthodii ( or spiny sharks ) . The jawed fish that are still extant in modern days also appeared in late Silurian : the Chondrichthyes ( or cartilaginous fish ) and the Osteichthyes ( or bony fish ) . The bony fish evolved into two separate groups : the Actinopterygii ( or ray - finned fish ) and Sarcopterygii ( which includes the lobe - finned fish ) . During the Devonian period a great increase in fish variety occurred , especially that of the ostracoderms and placoderms , as well as lobe - finned fish and early sharks . This has led to the Devonian being known as the age of fishes . It was from the lobe - finned fish that the tetrapods evolved , the four - limbed vertebrates , represented today by amphibians , mammals , reptiles and birds . Transitional tetrapods first appeared during the early Devonian , and by the late Devonian the first tetrapods appeared . The diversity of jawed vertebrates may indicate the evolutionary advantage of a jawed mouth ; but it is unclear if the advantage of a hinged jaw is greater biting force , improved respiration , or a combination of factors . Fish do not represent a monophyletic group , but a paraphyletic one , as they exclude the tetrapods . Fish , like many other organisms , have been greatly affected by extinction events throughout natural history . The Ordovician -- Silurian extinction events led to the loss of many species . The late Devonian extinction led to the extinction of the ostracoderms and placoderms by the end of the Devonian , as well as other fish . The spiny sharks became extinct at the Permian -- Triassic extinction event ; the conodonts became extinct at the Triassic -- Jurassic extinction event . The Cretaceous -- Paleogene extinction event , and the present day Holocene extinction , have also affected fish variety and fish stocks .

The diagram is based on Michael Benton , 2005 . Conventional classification has living vertebrates as a subphylum grouped into eight classes based on traditional interpretations of gross anatomical and physiological traits . In turn , these classes are grouped into the vertebrates that have four limbs ( the tetrapods ) and those that do not : fishes . The extant vertebrate classes are : Fish : jawless fishes ( Agnatha ) cartilaginous fishes ( Chondrichthyes ) ray - finned fishes ( Actinopterygii ) lobe - finned fishes ( Sarcopterygii ) Tetrapods : amphibians ( Amphibia ) reptiles ( Reptilia ) birds ( Aves ) mammals ( Mammalia ) In addition to these are two classes of extinct jawed fishes , the armoured placoderms and the spiny sharks . Further information : Vertebrate paleontology and List of transitional fossils § Invertebrates to Fish Fish may have evolved from an animal similar to a coral - like sea squirt ( a tunicate ) , whose larvae resemble early fish in important ways . The first ancestors of fish may have kept the larval form into adulthood ( as some sea squirts do today ) , although this path can not be proven . Vertebrates , among them the first fishes , originated about 530 million years ago during the Cambrian explosion , which saw the rise in organism diversity . The lancelet , a small , translucent , fish - like animal , is the closest living invertebrate relative of the olfactoreans ( vertebrates and tunicates ) . The early vertebrate Haikouichthys , from about 518 million years ago in China , may be the `` ancestor to all vertebrates '' and is one of the earliest known fish . Somewhat dated view of continuous evolutionary gradation ( click to animate ) The first ancestors of fish , or animals that were probably closely related to fish , were Pikaia , Haikouichthys and Myllokunmingia . These three genera all appeared around 530 Ma . Pikaia had a primitive notochord , a structure that could have developed into a vertebral column later . Unlike the other fauna that dominated the Cambrian , these groups had the basic vertebrate body plan : a notochord , rudimentary vertebrae , and a well - defined head and tail . All of these early vertebrates lacked jaws in the common sense and relied on filter feeding close to the seabed . These were followed by indisputable fossil vertebrates in the form of heavily armoured fishes discovered in rocks from the Ordovician Period 500 -- 430 Ma . The first jawed vertebrates appeared in the late Ordovician and became common in the Devonian , often known as the `` Age of Fishes '' . The two groups of bony fishes , the actinopterygii and sarcopterygii , evolved and became common . The Devonian also saw the demise of virtually all jawless fishes , save for lampreys and hagfish , as well as the Placodermi , a group of armoured fish that dominated much of the late Silurian . The Devonian also saw the rise of the first labyrinthodonts , which was a transitional between fishes and amphibians . The colonisation of new niches resulted in diversification of body plans and sometimes an increase in size . The Devonian Period ( 395 to 345 Ma ) brought in such giants as the placoderm Dunkleosteus , which could grow up to seven meters long , and early air - breathing fish that could remain on land for extended periods . Among this latter group were ancestral amphibians . The reptiles appeared from labyrinthodonts in the subsequent Carboniferous period . The anapsid and synapsid reptiles were common during the late Paleozoic , while the diapsids became dominant during the Mesozoic . In the sea , the bony fishes became dominant . The later radiations , such as those of fish in the Silurian and Devonian periods , involved fewer taxa , mainly with very similar body plans . The first animals to venture onto dry land were arthropods . Some fish had lungs and strong , bony fins and could crawl onto the land also . Jawless fish ( edit ) A modern jawless fish , the lamprey , attached to a modern jawed fish Lamprey mouth Main article : Agnatha Jawless fishes belong to the superclass Agnatha in the phylum Chordata , subphylum Vertebrata . Agnatha comes from the Greek , and means `` no jaws '' . It excludes all vertebrates with jaws , known as gnathostomes . Although a minor element of modern marine fauna , jawless fish were prominent among the early fish in the early Paleozoic . Two types of Early Cambrian animal apparently having fins , vertebrate musculature , and gills are known from the early Cambrian Maotianshan shales of China : Haikouichthys and Myllokunmingia . They have been tentatively assigned to Agnatha by Janvier . A third possible agnathid from the same region is Haikouella . A possible agnathid that has not been formally described was reported by Simonetti from the Middle Cambrian Burgess Shale of British Columbia . Many Ordovician , Silurian , and Devonian agnathians were armoured with heavy bony - spiky plates . The first armoured agnathans -- the Ostracoderms , precursors to the bony fish and hence to the tetrapods ( including humans ) -- are known from the middle Ordovician , and by the Late Silurian the agnathans had reached the high point of their evolution . Most of the ostracoderms , such as thelodonts , osteostracans , and galeaspids , were more closely related to the gnathostomes than to the surviving agnathans , known as cyclostomes . Cyclostomes apparently split from other agnathans before the evolution of dentine and bone , which are present in many fossil agnathans , including conodonts . Agnathans declined in the Devonian and never recovered . The agnathans as a whole are paraphyletic , because most extinct agnathans belong to the stem group of gnathostomes . Recent molecular data , both from rRNA and from mtDNA strongly supports the theory that living agnathans , known as cyclostomes , are monophyletic . In phylogenetic taxonomy , the relationships between animals are not typically divided into ranks , but illustrated as a nested `` family tree '' known as a cladogram . Phylogenetic groups are given definitions based on their relationship to one another , rather than purely on physical traits such as the presence of a backbone . This nesting pattern is often combined with traditional taxonomy , in a practice known as evolutionary taxonomy . Evolution of jawless fishes . The diagram is based on Michael Benton , 2005 . The cladogram below for jawless fish is based on studies compiled by Philippe Janvier and others for the Tree of Life Web Project . ( † = group is extinct ) Jawless fish Hyperoartia ( lampreys ) ? † Euconodonta ( eel like animals ) unnamed † Pteraspidomorphi ( jawless fishes ) ? † Thelodonti ( jawless fishes with scales ) unnamed ? † Anaspida ( jawless ancestors of lampreys ) unnamed † Galeaspida ( jawless fishes with bone head shields ) unnamed ? † Pituriaspida ( armoured jawless fishes with large rostrums ) † Osteostraci ( bony armoured jawless fish with bone head shields ) Jawed vertebrates → continued in section below Conodonts ( edit ) Conodonts ( extinct ) resembled primitive jawless eels Conodonts resembled primitive jawless eels . They appeared 495 Ma and were wiped out 200 Ma . Initially they were known only from tooth - like microfossils called conodont elements . These `` teeth '' have been variously interpreted as filter - feeding apparatuses or as a `` grasping and crushing array '' . Conodonts ranged in length from a centimeter to the 40 cm Promissum . Their large eyes had a lateral position , which makes a predatory role unlikely . The preserved musculature hints that some conodonts ( Promissum at least ) were efficient cruisers but incapable of bursts of speed . In 2012 researchers classified the conodonts in the phylum Chordata on the basis of their fins with fin rays , chevron - shaped muscles and notochord . Some researchers see them as vertebrates similar in appearance to modern hagfish and lampreys , though phylogenetic analysis suggests that they are more derived than either of these groups . Ostracoderms ( edit ) Ostracoderms ( extinct ) were armoured jawless fishes Ostracoderms ( shell - skinned ) are armoured jawless fishes of the Paleozoic . The term does not often appear in classifications today because it is paraphyletic or polyphyletic , and has no phylogenetic meaning . However , the term is still used informally to group together the armoured jawless fishes . The ostracoderm armour consisted of 3 -- 5 mm polygonal plates that shielded the head and gills , and then overlapped further down the body like scales . The eyes were particularly shielded . Earlier chordates used their gills for both respiration and feeding , whereas ostracoderms used their gills for respiration only . They had up to eight separate pharyngeal gill pouches along the side of the head , which were permanently open with no protective operculum . Unlike invertebrates that use ciliated motion to move food , ostracoderms used their muscular pharynx to create a suction that pulled small and slow moving prey into their mouths . The first fossil fishes that were discovered were ostracoderms . The Swiss anatomist Louis Agassiz received some fossils of bony armored fish from Scotland in the 1830s . He had a hard time classifying them as they did not resemble any living creature . He compared them at first with extant armored fish such as catfish and sturgeons but later realizing that they had no movable jaws , classified them in 1844 into a new group `` ostracoderms '' . Ostracoderms existed in two major groups , the more primitive heterostracans and the cephalaspids . Later , about 420 million years ago , the jawed fish evolved from one of the ostracoderms . After the appearance of jawed fish , most ostracoderm species underwent a decline , and the last ostracoderms became extinct at the end of the Devonian period .

The two most anterior pharyngeal arches are thought to have become the jaw itself and the hyoid arch , respectively . The hyoid system suspends the jaw from the braincase of the skull , permitting great mobility of the jaws . Already long assumed to be a paraphyletic assemblage leading to more derived gnathostomes , the discovery of Entelognathus suggests that placoderms are directly ancestral to modern bony fish . As in most vertebrates , fish jaws are bony or cartilaginous and oppose vertically , comprising an upper jaw and a lower jaw . The jaw is derived from the most anterior two pharyngeal arches supporting the gills , and usually bears numerous teeth . The skull of the last common ancestor of today 's jawed vertebrates is assumed to have resembled sharks . It is thought that the original selective advantage garnered by the jaw was not related to feeding , but to increased respiration efficiency . The jaws were used in the buccal pump ( observable in modern fish and amphibians ) that pumps water across the gills of fish or air into the lungs in the case of amphibians . Over evolutionary time the more familiar use of jaws ( to humans ) , in feeding , was selected for and became a very important function in vertebrates . Many teleost fish have substantially modified their jaws for suction feeding and jaw protrusion , resulting in highly complex jaws with dozens of bones involved . Jawed vertebrates and jawed fish evolved from jawless fish , and the cladogram below for jawed vertebrates is a continuation of the cladogram in the section above . ( † = group is extinct ) Jawed vertebrates † Placodermi ( armoured fishes ) unnamed Acanthodians and Chondrichthyes ( cartilaginous fishes ) Bony fishes Actinopterygii ( ray - finned fishes ) < dominant class of fish today Lobe - finned fishes ? † Onychodontiformes ( lobe - finned ) Actinistia ( coelacanths ) unnamed † Porolepiformes ( lobe - finned ) Dipnoi ( lungfishes ) unnamed † Rhizodontimorpha ( predatory lobe - finned ) † Tristichopteridae ( tetrapodomorphs ) Tetrapods ( four - legged animals ) Placoderms ( edit ) Evolution of the ( now extinct ) placoderms . The diagram is based on Michael Benton , 2005 . Placoderms ( extinct ) were armoured jawed fishes ( compare with the ostracoderms above ) Further information : Placodermi and List of placoderms Placoderms , class Placodermi ( plate skinned ) , are extinct armoured prehistoric fish , which appeared about 430 Ma in the Early to Middle Silurian . They were mostly wiped out during the Late Devonian Extinction event , 378 Ma , though some survived and made a slight recovery in diversity during the Famennian epoch before dying out entirely at the close of the Devonian , 360 mya ; they are ultimately ancestal to modern vertebrates . Their head and thorax were covered with massive and often ornamented armoured plates . The rest of the body was scaled or naked , depending on the species . The armour shield was articulated , with the head armour hinged to the thoratic armour . This allowed placoderms to lift their heads , unlike ostracoderms . Placoderms were the first jawed fish ; their jaws likely evolved from the first of their gill arches . The chart on the right shows the rise and demise of the separate placoderm lineages : Acanthothoraci , Rhenanida , Antiarchi , Petalichthyidae , Ptyctodontida and Arthrodira . Spiny sharks ( edit ) Spiny sharks ( extinct ) were the earliest known jawed fishes . They resembled sharks and were indeed ancestral to them . Further information : Acanthodii and List of acanthodians Spiny sharks , class Acanthodii , are extinct fishes that share features with both bony and cartilaginous fishes , though ultimately more closely related to and ancestral to the latter . Despite being called `` spiny sharks '' , acanthodians predate sharks , though they gave rise to them . They evolved in the sea at the beginning of the Silurian Period , some 50 million years before the first sharks appeared . Eventually competition from bony fishes proved too much , and the spiny sharks died out in Permian times about 250 Ma . In form they resembled sharks , but their epidermis was covered with tiny rhomboid platelets like the scales of holosteans ( gars , bowfins ) . Cartilaginous fishes ( edit ) Radiation of cartilaginous fishes , derived from work by Michael Benton , 2005 . Further information : List of transitional fossils § Chondrichthyes , and List of prehistoric cartilaginous fish Cartilaginous fishes , class Chondrichthyes , consisting of sharks , rays and chimaeras , appeared by about 395 million years ago , in the middle Devonian , evolving from acanthodians . The class contains the sub classes Holocephali ( chimaera ) and Elasmobranchii ( sharks and rays ) . The radiation of elasmobranches in the chart on the right is divided into the taxa : Cladoselache , Eugeneodontiformes , Symmoriida , Xenacanthiformes , Ctenacanthiformes , Hybodontiformes , Galeomorphi , Squaliformes and Batoidea . Bony fishes ( edit ) Further information : Osteichthyes , List of transitional fossils § Bony fish , and List of prehistoric bony fish External video Chordate Evolution and Bony Fish YouTube Bony fishes , class Osteichthyes , are characterised by bony skeleton rather than cartilage . They appeared in the late Silurian , about 419 million years ago . The recent discovery of Entelognathus strongly suggests that bony fishes ( and possibly cartilaginous fishes , via acanthodians ) evolved from early placoderms . A subclass of the Osteichthyes , the ray - finned fishes ( Actinopterygii ) , have become the dominant group of fishes in the post-Paleozoic and modern world , with some 30,000 living species . The bony ( and cartilaginous ) fish groups that emerged after the Devonian , were characterised by steady improvements in foraging and locomotion . Lobe - finned fishes ( edit ) Further information : Sarcopterygii and List of lobe - finned fishes The Queensland lungfish is a lobe - finned fish that is a living fossil . Lungfish evolved the first proto - lungs and proto - limbs . They developed the ability to live outside a water environment in the middle Devonian ( 397 - 385 Ma ) , and have remained virtually the same for over 100 million years . Phylogenomic analysis has shown that `` the closest living fish to the tetrapod ancestor is the lungfish , not the coelacanth '' . Lobe - finned fishes , fish belonging to the class Sarcopterygii , are mostly extinct bony fishes , basally characterised by robust and stubby lobe fins containing a robust internal skeleton , cosmoid scales and internal nostrils . Their fins are fleshy , lobed , paired fins , joined to the body by a single bone . The fins of lobe - finned fish differ from those of all other fish in that each is borne on a fleshy , lobelike , scaly stalk extending from the body . The pectoral and pelvic fins are articulated in ways resembling the tetrapod limbs they were the precursors to . The fins evolved into the legs of the first tetrapod land vertebrates , amphibians . They also possess two dorsal fins with separate bases , as opposed to the single dorsal fin of ray - finned fish . The braincase of lobe - finned fishes primitively has a hinge line , but this is lost in tetrapods and lungfish . Many early lobe - finned fishes have a symmetrical tail . All lobe - finned fishes possess teeth covered with true enamel . Lobe - finned fishes , such as coelacanths and lungfish , were the most diverse group of bony fishes in the Devonian . Taxonomists who subscribe to the cladistic approach include the grouping Tetrapoda within the Sarcopterygii , and the tetrapods in turn include all species of four - limbed vertebrates . The fin - limbs of lobe - finned fishes such as the coelacanths show a strong similarity to the expected ancestral form of tetrapod limbs . The lobe - finned fish apparently followed two different lines of development and are accordingly separated into two subclasses , the Rhipidistia ( including the lungfish , and the Tetrapodomorpha , which include the Tetrapoda ) and the Actinistia ( coelacanths ) . The first lobe - finned fishes , found in the uppermost Silurian ( ca 418 Ma ) , closely resembled spiny sharks , which became extinct at the end of the Paleozoic . In the early -- middle Devonian ( 416 - 385 Ma ) , while the predatory placoderms dominated the seas , some lobe - finned fishes came into freshwater habitats . The coelacanth is another lobe - finned fish that is a living fossil . It is thought to have evolved into roughly its current form about 408 million years ago , during the early Devonian , and has not essentially evolved further from its ancient form . In the Early Devonian ( 416 - 397 Ma ) , the lobe - finned fishes split into two main lineages -- the coelacanths and the rhipidistians . The former never left the oceans and their heyday was the Late Devonian and Carboniferous , from 385 to 299 Ma , as they were more common during those periods than in any other period in the Phanerozoic ; coelacanths still live today in the oceans ( genus Latimeria ) . The Rhipidistians , whose ancestors probably lived in estuaries , migrated into freshwater habitats . They in turn split into two major groups : the lungfish and the tetrapodomorphs . The lungfish 's greatest diversity was in the Triassic period ; today there are fewer than a dozen genera left . The lungfish evolved the first proto - lungs and proto - limbs ; developing the ability to live outside a water environment in the middle Devonian ( 397 - 385 Ma ) . The first tetrapodomorphs , which included the gigantic rhizodonts , had the same general anatomy as the lungfish , who were their closest kin , but they appear not to have left their water habitat until the late Devonian epoch ( 385 - 359 Ma ) , with the appearance of tetrapods ( four - legged vertebrates ) . Tetrapods are the only tetrapodomorphs that survived after the Devonian . Lobe - finned fishes continued until towards the end of Paleozoic era , suffering heavy losses during the Permian - Triassic extinction event ( 251 Ma ) . Ray - finned fishes ( edit ) Ray - finned fishes , class Actinopterygii , differ from lobe - finned fishes in that their fins consist of webs of skin supported by spines ( `` rays '' ) made of bone or horn . There are other differences in respiratory and circulatory structures . Ray - finned fishes normally have skeletons made from true bone , though this is not true of sturgeons and paddlefishes . Ray - finned fishes are the dominant vertebrate group , containing half of all known vertebrate species . They inhabit abyssal depths in the sea , coastal inlets and freshwater rivers and lakes , and are a major source of food for humans . Timeline ( edit ) Preceded by Proterozoic Eon Phanerozoic Eon Paleozoic Era Mesozoic Era Cenozoic Era Cambrian Ordovician Silurian Devonian Carboniferous Permian Triassic Jurassic Cretaceous Paleogene Neogene 4ry Pre Devonian : origin of fish ( edit ) Cambrian Cambrian ( 541 -- 485 Ma ) : The beginning of the Cambrian was marked by the Cambrian explosion , the sudden appearance of nearly all of the invertebrate animal phyla ( molluscs , jellyfish , worms and arthropods , such as crustaceans ) in great abundance . The first vertebrates appeared in the form of primitive fish , which were subsequently greatly diversified in the Silurian and Devonian . Pikaia External video Pikaia gracilens animation The Burgess Shale Pikaia , along with Myllokunmingia and Haikouichthys ercaicunensis immediately below , are all candidates in the fossil record for the titles of `` first vertebrate '' and `` first fish '' . Pikaia is a genus that appeared about 530 Ma during the Cambrian explosion of multicellular life . Pikaia gracilens ( pictured ) is a transitional fossil between invertebrates and vertebrates , and may be the earliest known chordate . In this sense it may have been the original ancestor of fishes . It was a primitive creature with no evidence of eyes , without a well defined head , and less than 2 inches ( 5 centimetres ) long . Pikaia was a sideways - flattened , leaf - shaped animal that swam by throwing its body into a series of S - shaped , zig - zag curves , similar to movement of snakes . Fish inherited the same swimming movement , but they generally have stiffer backbones . It had a pair of large head tentacles and a series of short appendages , which may be linked to gill slits , on either side of its head . Pikaia shows the essential prerequisites for vertebrates . The flattened body is divided into pairs of segmented muscle blocks , seen as faint vertical lines . The muscles lie on either side of a flexible structure resembling a rod that runs from the tip of the head to the tip of the tail . Haikouichthys Haikouichthys ( fish from Haikou ) is another genus that also appears in the fossil record about 530 Ma , and also marks the transition from invertebrate to vertebrates . Haikouichthys are craniates ( animals with backbones and distinct heads ) . Unlike Pikaia , they had eyes . They also had a defined skull and other characteristics that have led paleontologists to label it a true craniate , and even to be popularly characterized as one of the earliest fishes . Cladistic analysis indicates that the animal is probably a basal chordate or a basal craniate ; but it does not possess sufficient features to be included uncontroversially even in either stem group . Myllokunmingia Myllokunmingia is a genus that appeared about 530 Ma . It is a chordate , and it has been argued that it is a vertebrate , It is 28 mm long and 6 mm high , and is among the oldest possible craniates . Conodont Conodonts ( cone - teeth ) resembled primitive eels . They appeared 495 Ma and were wiped out 200 Ma . Initially they were known only from tooth - like microfossils called conodont elements . These `` teeth '' have been variously interpreted as filter - feeding apparatuses or as a `` grasping and crushing array '' . Conodonts ranged in length from a centimeter to the 40 cm Promissum . Their large eyes had a lateral position of which makes a predatory role unlikely . The preserved musculature hints that some conodonts ( Promissum at least ) were efficient cruisers but incapable of bursts of speed . In 2012 researchers classify the conodonts in the phylum Chordata on the basis of their fins with fin rays , chevron - shaped muscles and notochord . Some researchers see them as vertebrates similar in appearance to modern hagfish and lampreys , though phylogenetic analysis suggests that they are more derived than either of these groups . Ostracoderms Ostracoderms ( shell - skinned ) are any of several groups of extinct , primitive , jawless fishes that were covered in an armour of bony plates . They appeared in the Cambrian , about 510 million years ago , and became extinct towards the end of the Devonian , about 377 million years ago . Initially Ostracoderms had poorly formed fins , and paired fins , or limbs , first evolved within this group . They were covered with a bony armour or scales and were often less than 30 cm ( 0.98 ft ) long . Ordov - ician Ordovician ( 485 -- 443 Ma ) : Fish , the world 's first true vertebrates , continued to evolve , and those with jaws ( Gnathostomata ) may have first appeared late in this period . Life had yet to diversify on land . Arandaspis Arandaspis are jawless fish that lived in the early Ordovician period , about 480 -- 470 Ma . It was about 15 cm ( 6 in ) long , with a streamlined body covered in rows of knobbly armoured scutes . The front of the body and the head were protected by hard plates with openings for the eyes , nostrils and gills . Although it was jawless , Arandaspis might have had some moveable plates in its mouth , serving as lips , sucking in food particles . The low position of its mouth suggests it foraged the ocean floor . It lacked fins and its only method of propulsion was its horizontally flattened tail . As a result , it probably swam in a fashion similar to a modern tadpole . Astraspis Astraspis ( star shield ) is an extinct genus of primitive jawless fish related to other Ordovician fishes , such as Sacabambaspis and Arandaspis . Fossils show clear evidence of a sensory structure ( lateral line system ) . The arrangement of these organs in regular lines allows the fish to detect the direction and distance from which a disturbance in the water is coming . Arandaspis are thought to have had a mobile tail covered with small protective plates and a head region covered with larger plates . A specimen described by Sansom et al. had relatively large , lateral eyes and a series of eight gill openings on each side . Pteraspidomorphi Pteraspidomorphi is an extinct class of early jawless fish . The fossils show extensive shielding of the head . Many had hypocercal tails to generate lift to increase ease of movement through the water for their armoured bodies , which were covered in dermal bone . They also had sucking mouth parts and some species may have lived in fresh water . Thelodonts Thelodonts ( nipple teeth ) are a class of small , extinct jawless fishes with distinctive scales instead of large plates of armour . There is debate over whether these represent a monophyletic grouping , or disparate stem groups to the major lines of jawless and jawed fish . Thelodonts are united by their characteristic `` thelodont scales '' . This defining character is not necessarily a result of shared ancestry , as it may have been evolved independently by different groups . Thus the thelodonts are generally thought to represent a polyphyletic group . If they are monophyletic , there is no firm evidence on what their ancestral state was . These scales were easily dispersed after death ; their small size and resilience makes them the most common vertebrate fossil of their time . The fish lived in both freshwater and marine environments , first appearing during the Ordovician , and perishing during the Frasnian -- Famennian extinction event of the Late Devonian . They were predominantly deposit - feeding bottom dwellers , although some species may have been pelagic . The Ordovician ended with the Ordovician -- Silurian extinction event ( 450 -- 440 Ma ) . Two events occurred that killed off 27 % of all families , 57 % of all genera and 60 % to 70 % of all species . Together they are ranked by many scientists as the second largest of the five major extinctions in Earth 's history in terms of percentage of genera that became extinct . Silurian Silurian ( 443 -- 419 Ma ) : Many evolutionary milestones occurred during this period , including the appearance of armoured jawless fish , jawed fish , spiny sharks and ray - finned fish . While it is traditional to refer to the Devonian as the age of fishes , recent findings have shown the Silurian was also a period of considerable diversification . Jawed fish developed movable jaws , adapted from the supports of the front two or three gill arches Anaspida Anaspida ( without shield ) is an extinct class of primitive jawless vertebrates that lived during the Silurian and Devonian periods . They are classically regarded as the ancestors of lampreys . Anaspids were small , primarily marine agnathans that lacked heavy bony shield and paired fins , but have highly exaggerated hypocercal tails . They first appeared in the early Silurian , and flourished until the Late Devonian extinction , where most species , save for lampreys , became extinct . Unusually for an agnathan , anaspids did not possess a bony shield or armour . The head is instead covered in an array of smaller , weakly mineralised scales . Osteostraci Osteostraci ( `` bony shields '' ) was a class of bony - armored jawless fish that lived from the Middle Silurian to Late Devonian . Anatomically speaking , the osteostracans , especially the Devonian species , were among the most advanced of all known agnathans . This is due to the development of paired fins , and their complicated cranial anatomy . The osteostracans were more similar to lampreys than to jawed vertebrates in possessing two pairs of semicircular canals in the inner ear , as opposed to the three pairs found in the inner ears of jawed vertebrates . Most osteostracans had a massive cephalothorac shield , but all Middle and Late Devonian species appear to have had a reduced , thinner , and often micromeric dermal skeleton . They were probably relatively good swimmers , possessing dorsal fins , paired pectoral fins , and a strong tail . Spiny sharks Spiny sharks , more formally called `` Acanthodians '' ( having spines ) , constitute the class Acanthodii . They first appeared by the late Silurian ~ 420 Ma , and were among the first fishes to evolve jaws . They share features with both cartilaginous fish and bony fish , but they are not true sharks , though leading to them . They became extinct before the end of the Permian ~ 250 Ma . However , scales and teeth attributed to this group , as well as more derived jawed fish , such as cartilaginous and bony fish , date from the Ordovician ~ 460 Ma . Acanthodians were generally small shark - like fishes varying from toothless filter - feeders to toothed predators . They were once often classified as an order of the class Placodermi , but recent authorities tend to place the acanthodians as a paraphyletic assemblage leading to modern cartilaginous fish . They are distinguished in two respects : they were the earliest known jawed vertebrates , and they had stout spines supporting all their fins , fixed in place and non-movable ( like a shark 's dorsal fin ) , an important defensive adaptation . Their fossils are extremely rare . Placoderms Placoderms , ( plate - like skin ) , are a group of armoured jawed fishes , of the class Placodermi . The oldest fossils appeared during the late Silurian , and became extinct at the end of the Devonian . Recent studies suggest that the placoderms are possibly a paraphyletic group of basal jawed fishes , and the closest relatives of all living jawed vertebrates . Some placoderms were small , flattened bottom - dwellers , such as antiarchs . However many , particularly the arthrodires , were active midwater predators . Dunkleosteus , which appeared later in the Devonian below , was the largest and most famous of these . The upper jaw was firmly fused to the skull , but there was a hinge joint between the skull and the bony plating of the trunk region . This allowed the upper part of the head to be thrown back and , in arthrodires , allowed them to take larger bites . Guiyu oneiros Guiyu oneiros , the earliest known bony fish . It has the combination of both ray - finned and lobe - finned features , although analysis of the totality of its features place it closer to lobe - finned fish . Andreolepis The extinct genus Andreolepis includes the earliest known ray finned fish Andreolepis hedei , which appeared in the late Silurian , around 420 Ma .

Axis scale : millions of years ago . The Devonian Period is broken into the Early , Middle and Late Devonian . By the start of the Early Devonian 419 mya , jawed fishes had divided into four distinct clades : the placoderms and spiny sharks , both of which are now extinct , and the cartilaginous and bony fishes , both of which are still extant . The modern bony fishes , class Osteichthyes , appeared in the late Silurian or early Devonian , about 416 million years ago . Both the cartilaginous and bony fishes may have arisen from either the placoderms or the spiny sharks . A subclass of bony fishes , the ray - finned fishes ( Actinopterygii ) , have become the dominant group in the post-Paleozoic and modern world , with some 30,000 living species . Sea levels in the Devonian were generally high . Marine faunas were dominated by bryozoa , diverse and abundant brachiopods , the enigmatic hederelloids , microconchids and corals . Lily - like crinoids were abundant , and trilobites were still fairly common . Among vertebrates , jawless armoured fish ( ostracoderms ) declined in diversity , while the jawed fish ( gnathostomes ) simultaneously increased in both the sea and fresh water . Armoured placoderms were numerous during the lower stages of the Devonian Period but became extinct in the Late Devonian , perhaps because of competition for food against the other fish species . Early cartilaginous ( Chondrichthyes ) and bony fishes ( Osteichthyes ) also become diverse and played a large role within the Devonian seas . The first abundant genus of shark , Cladoselache , appeared in the oceans during the Devonian Period . The great diversity of fish around at the time have led to the Devonian being given the name `` The Age of Fish '' in popular culture . The first ray - finned and lobe - finned bony fish appeared in the Devonian , while the placoderms began dominating almost every known aquatic environment . However , another subclass of Osteichthyes , the Sarcopterygii , including lobe - finned fishes including coelacanths and lungfish ) and tetrapods , was the most diverse group of bony fishes in the Devonian . Sarcopterygians are basally characterized by internal nostrils , lobe fins containing a robust internal skeleton , and cosmoid scales . During the Middle Devonian 393 -- 383 Ma , the armoured jawless ostracoderm fishes were declining in diversity ; the jawed fish were thriving and increasing in diversity in both the oceans and freshwater . The shallow , warm , oxygen - depleted waters of Devonian inland lakes , surrounded by primitive plants , provided the environment necessary for certain early fish to develop essential characteristics such as well developed lungs and the ability to crawl out of the water and onto the land for short periods of time . Cartilaginous fishes , class Chondrichthyes , consisting of sharks , rays and chimaeras , appeared by about 395 million years ago , in the middle Devonian During the Late Devonian the first forests were taking shape on land . The first tetrapods appear in the fossil record over a period , the beginning and end of which are marked with extinction events . This lasted until the end of the Devonian 359 mya . The ancestors of all tetrapods began adapting to walking on land , their strong pectoral and pelvic fins gradually evolved into legs ( see Tiktaalik ) . In the oceans , primitive sharks became more numerous than in the Silurian and the late Ordovician . The first ammonite mollusks appeared . Trilobites , the mollusk - like brachiopods and the great coral reefs , were still common . The Late Devonian extinction occurred at the beginning of the last phase of the Devonian period , the Famennian faunal stage , ( the Frasnian - Famennian boundary ) , about 372.2 Ma . Many fossil agnathan fishes , save for the psammosteid heterostracans , make their last appearance shortly before this event . The Late Devonian extinction crisis primarily affected the marine community , and selectively affected shallow warm - water organisms rather than cool - water organisms . The most important group affected by this extinction event were the reef - builders of the great Devonian reef - systems . A second extinction pulse , the Hangenberg event closed the Devonian period and had a dramatic impact on vertebrate faunas . Placoderms mostly became extinct during this event , as did most members of other groups including lobe - finned fishes , acanthodians and early tetrapods in both marine and terrestrial habitats , leaving only a handful of survivors . This event has been related to glaciation in the temperate and polar zones as well as euxinia and anoxia in the seas . Devonian ( 419 -- 359 mya ) : The start of Devonian saw the first appearance of lobe - finned fish , precursors to the tetrapods ( animals with four limbs ) . Major groups of fish evolved during this period , often referred to as the age of fishes . See Category : Devonian fish . o n i n Early Devonian Early Devonian ( 419 -- 393 Ma ) : Psarolepis Psarolepis ( speckled scale ) is a genus of extinct lobe - finned fish that lived around 397 to 418 Ma . Fossils of Psarolepis have been found mainly in South China and described by paleontologist Xiaobo Yu in 1998 . It is not known for certain which group Psarolepis belongs , but paleontologists agree that it probably is a basal genus and seems to be close to the common ancestor of lobe - finned and ray - finned fishes . Holoptychius Holoptychius is an extinct genus from the order of porolepiform lobe - finned fish , extant from 416 to 359 Ma . It was a streamlined predator about 50 centimetres ( 20 in ) long ( though it could grow up to 2.5 m ) , which fed on other bony fish . Its rounded scales and body form indicate that it could have swum quickly through the water to catch prey . Similar to other rhipidistians , it had fang - like teeth on its palate in addition to smaller teeth on the jaws . Its asymmetrical tail sported a caudal fin on its lower end . To compensate for the downward push caused by this fin placement , Holoptychius 's pectoral fins were placed high on the body . Ptyctodontida The ptyctodontids ( beak - teeth ) are an extinct monotypic order of unarmored placoderms , containing only one family . They were extant from the start to the end of the Devonian . With their big heads , big eyes , and long bodies , the ptyctodontids bore a strong resemblance to modern day chimaeras ( Holocephali ) . Their armor was reduced to a pattern of small plates around the head and neck . Like the extinct and related acanthothoracids , and the living and unrelated holocephalians , most of the ptyctodontids are thought to have lived near the sea bottom and preyed on shellfish . Petalichthyida The Petalichthyida was an order of small , flattened placoderms that existed from the beginning of the Devonian to the Late Devonian . They were typified by splayed fins and numerous tubercles that decorated all of the plates and scales of their armour . They reached a peak in diversity during the Early Devonian and were found throughout the world . Because they had compressed body forms , it is supposed they were bottom - dwellers that chased after or ambushed smaller fish . Their diet is not clear , as none of the fossil specimens found have preserved mouth parts . Laccognathus Laccognathus ( pitted jaw ) was a genus of amphibious lobe - finned fish that existed 398 -- 360 Ma . They were characterized by the three large pits ( fossae ) on the external surface of the lower jaw , which may have had sensory functions . Laccognathus grew to 1 -- 2 metres ( 3 -- 7 ft ) in length . They had very short dorsoventrally flattened heads , less than one - fifth the length of the body . The skeleton was structured so large areas of skin were stretched over solid plates of bone . This bone was composed of particularly dense fibers -- so dense that exchange of oxygen through the skin was unlikely . Rather , the dense ossifications served to retain water inside the body as Laccognathus traveled on land between bodies of water . Middle Devonian Middle Devonian ( 393 -- 383 Ma ) : Cartilaginous fishes , consisting of sharks , rays and chimaeras , appeared about 395 Ma . Dipterus Dipterus ( two wings ) is an extinct genus of lungfish from 376 -- 361 Ma . It was about 35 centimetres ( 14 in ) long , mostly ate invertebrates , and had lungs , not an air bladder . Like its ancestor Dipnorhynchus it had tooth - like plates on its palate instead of real teeth . However , unlike its modern relatives , in which the dorsal , caudal , and anal fin are fused into one , its fins were still separated . Otherwise Dipterus closely resembled modern lungfish . Cheirolepis Cheirolepis ( hand fin ) was a genus of ray - finned fishes . It was among the most basal of the Devonian ray - finned fishes and is considered the first to possess the `` standard '' dermal cranial bones seen in later ray - finned fish . It was a predatory freshwater fish about 55 centimetres ( 22 in ) long , and based on the size of its eyes it hunted by sight . Cladoselache Cladoselache was the first abundant genus of primitive shark , appearing about 370 Ma . It grew to 6 feet ( 1.8 m ) long , with anatomical features similar to modern mackerel sharks . It had a streamlined body almost entirely devoid of scales , with five to seven gill slits and a short , rounded snout that had a terminal mouth opening at the front of the skull . It had a very weak jaw joint compared with modern - day sharks , but it compensated for that with very strong jaw - closing muscles . Its teeth were multi-cusped and smooth - edged , making them suitable for grasping , but not tearing or chewing . Cladoselache therefore probably seized prey by the tail and swallowed it whole . It had powerful keels that extended onto the side of the tail stalk and a semi-lunate tail fin , with the superior lobe about the same size as the inferior . This combination helped with its speed and agility , which was useful when trying to outswim its probable predator , the heavily armoured 10 metres ( 33 ft ) long placoderm fish Dunkleosteus . Coccosteus Coccosteus ( seed bone ) is an extinct genus of arthrodire placoderm . The majority of fossils have been found in freshwater sediments , though they may have been able to enter saltwater . They grew up to 40 centimetres ( 16 in ) long . Like all other arthrodires , Coccosteus had a joint between the armour of the body and skull . In addition , it also had an internal joint between its neck vertebrae and the back of the skull , allowing it to open its mouth even wider . Along with the longer jaws , this allowed Coccosteus to feed on fairly large prey . As with all other arthrodires , Coccosteus had bony dental plates embedded in its jaws , forming a beak . The beak was kept sharp by having the edges of the dental plates grind away at each other . Bothriolepis External video Bothriolepis -- Animal Planet Bothriolepis ( pitted scale ) was the most successful genus of antiarch placoderms , if not the most successful genus of any placoderm , with over 100 species spread across Middle to Late Devonian strata across every continent . Pituriaspida Pituriaspida ( hallucinogenic shield ) is a class containing two bizarre species of armoured jawless fishes with tremendous nose - like rostrums . They lived in estuaries around 390 Ma . The paleontologist Gavin Young , named the class after the hallucinogenic drug pituri , since he thought he might be hallucinating upon viewing the bizarre forms . The better studied species looked like a throwing - dart - like , with an elongate headshield and spear - like rostrum . The other species looked like a guitar pick with a tail , with a smaller and shorter rostrum and a more triangular headshield . Late Devonian extinction : 375 -- 360 Ma . A prolonged series of extinctions eliminated about 19 % of all families , 50 % of all genera and 70 % of all species . This extinction event lasted perhaps as long as 20 Ma , and there is evidence for a series of extinction pulses within this period . Late Devonian Late Devonian ( 383 -- 359 Ma ) : Dunkleosteus External video Dunkleosteus -- Animal Planet Dunkleosteus is a genus of arthrodire placoderms that existed from 380 to 360 Ma . It grew up to 10 metres ( 33 ft ) long and weighed up to 3.6 tonnes . It was a hypercarnivorous apex predator . Apart from its contemporary Titanichthys ( below ) , no other placoderm rivalled it in size . Instead of teeth , Dunkleosteus had two pairs of sharp bony plates , which formed a beak - like structure . Apart from megalodon , it had the most powerful bite of any fish , generating bite forces in the same league as Tyrannosaurus rex and the modern crocodile . Titanichthys Titanichthys is a genus of giant , aberrant marine placoderm that lived in shallow seas . Many of the species approached Dunkleosteus in size and build . Unlike its relative , however , the various species of Titanichys had small , ineffective - looking mouth - plates that lacked a sharp cutting edge . It is assumed that Titanichthys was a filter feeder that used its capacious mouth to swallow or inhale schools of small , anchovy - like fish , or possibly krill - like zooplankton , and that the mouth - plates retained the prey while allowing the water to escape as it closed its mouth . Materpiscis External video The mother fish -- Nature Materpiscis ( mother fish ) is a genus of ptyctodontid placoderm from about 380 Ma . Known from only one specimen , it is unique in having an unborn embryo present inside , and with remarkable preservation of a mineralised placental feeding structure ( umbilical cord ) . This makes Materpiscis the first known vertebrate to show viviparity , or giving birth to live young . The specimen was named Materpiscis attenboroughi in honour of David Attenborough . Hyneria Hyneria is a genus of predatory lobe - finned fish , about 2.5 m ( 8.2 ft ) long , that lived 360 million years ago . Rhizodonts Rhizodonts were an order of lobe - finned fish that survived to the end of the Carboniferous , 377 -- 310 Ma . They reached huge sizes . The largest known species , Rhizodus hibberti grew up to 7 metres in length , making it the largest freshwater fish known . Fish to tetrapods ( edit ) Further information : Tetrapod § Evolution , and List of transitional fossils § Fish to Tetrapods A cladogram of the evolution of tetrapods showing some of the best - known transitional fossils . It starts with Eusthenopteron at the bottom , indisputably still a fish , through Panderichthys , Tiktaalik , Acanthostega and Ichthyostega to Pederpes at the top , indisputably a tetrapod ( show ) From fins to limbs Illustration showing shows how much the hindlimb attachments in lobe - finned fishes need to change in transitioning from lobe - finned fishes ( A ) to early tetrapods ( B ) if the fish was to become a terrestrial animal . Comparison between the fins of lobe - finned fishes and the legs of early tetrapods : 1 . Tiktaalik 2 . Panderichthys 3 . Eusthenopteron 4 . Acanthostega 5 . Ichthyostega ( hindleg ) The first tetrapods are four - legged , air - breathing , terrestrial animals from which the land vertebrates descended , including humans . They evolved from lobe - finned fish , appearing in coastal water in the middle Devonian , and giving rise to the first amphibians . The group of lobe - finned fishes that were the ancestors of the tetrapod are grouped together as the Rhipidistia , and the first tetrapods evolved from these fish over the relatively short timespan 385 -- 360 Ma . The early tetrapod groups themselves are grouped as Labyrinthodontia . They retained aquatic , fry - like tadpoles , a system still seen in modern amphibians . From the 1950s to the early 1980s it was thought that tetrapods evolved from fish that had already acquired the ability to crawl on land , possibly so they could go from a pool that was drying out to one that was deeper . However , in 1987 , nearly complete fossils of Acanthostega from about 363 Ma showed that this Late Devonian transitional animal had legs and both lungs and gills , but could never have survived on land : its limbs and its wrist and ankle joints were too weak to bear its weight ; its ribs were too short to prevent its lungs from being squeezed flat by its weight ; its fish - like tail fin would have been damaged by dragging on the ground . The current hypothesis is that Acanthostega , which was about 1 metre ( 3.3 ft ) long , was a wholly aquatic predator that hunted in shallow water . Its skeleton differed from that of most fish , in ways that enabled it to raise its head to breathe air while its body remained submerged , including : its jaws show modifications that would have enabled it to gulp air ; the bones at the back of its skull are locked together , providing strong attachment points for muscles that raised its head ; the head is not joined to the shoulder girdle and it has a distinct neck . Until the 1980s early transitional lobe - finned fishes , such as the Eusthenopteron shown here , were depicted as emerging onto land . Paleontologists now widely agree this did not happen , and they were strictly aquatic . External video Tetrapod Evolution Animal Planet 1 2 3 4 5 Evolution fish with fingers Transitional fossils -- YouTube The Devonian proliferation of land plants may help to explain why air - breathing would have been an advantage : leaves falling into streams and rivers would have encouraged the growth of aquatic vegetation ; this would have attracted grazing invertebrates and small fish that preyed on them ; they would have been attractive prey but the environment was unsuitable for the big marine predatory fish ; air - breathing would have been necessary because these waters would have been short of oxygen , since warm water holds less dissolved oxygen than cooler marine water and since the decomposition of vegetation would have used some of the oxygen . There are three major hypotheses as to how tetrapods evolved their stubby fins ( proto - limbs ) . The traditional explanation is the `` shrinking waterhole hypothesis '' or `` desert hypothesis '' posited by the American paleontologist Alfred Romer . He believed limbs and lungs may have evolved from the necessity of having to find new bodies of water as old waterholes dried up . The second hypothesis is the `` inter-tidal hypothesis '' put forward in 2010 by a team of Polish paleontologists led by Grzegorz Niedźwiedzki . They argued that sarcopterygians may have first emerged unto land from intertidal zones rather than inland bodies of water . Their hypothesis is based on the discovery of the 395 million - year - old Zachełmie tracks in Zachełmie , Poland , the oldest ever discovered fossil evidence of tetrapods . The third hypothesis , the `` woodland hypothesis '' , was proposed by the American paleontologist Gregory J. Retallack in 2011 . He argues that limbs may have developed in shallow bodies of water in woodlands as a means of navigating in environments filled with roots and vegetation . He based his conclusions on the evidence that transitional tetrapod fossils are consistently found in habitats that were formerly humid and wooded floodplains . Research by Jennifer A. Clack and her colleagues showed that the very earliest tetrapods , animals similar to Acanthostega , were wholly aquatic and quite unsuited to life on land . This is in contrast to the earlier view that fish had first invaded the land -- either in search of prey ( like modern mudskippers ) or to find water when the pond they lived in dried out -- and later evolved legs , lungs , etc . Two ideas about the homology of arms , hands and digits have existed in the past 130 years . First that digits are unique to tetrapods and second that antecedents were present in the fins of early sarcopterygian fish . Until recently it was believed that `` genetic and fossil data support the hypothesis that digits are evolutionary novelties '' . However new research that created a three - dimensional reconstruction of Panderichthys , a coastal fish from the Devonian period 385 million years ago , shows that these animals already had many of the homologous bones present in the forelimbs of limbed vertebrates . For example , they had radial bones similar to rudimentary fingers but positioned in the arm - like base of their fins . Thus there was in the evolution of tetrapods a shift such that the outermost part of the fins were lost and eventually replaced by early digits . This change is consistent with additional evidence from the study of actinopterygians , sharks and lungfish that the digits of tetrapods arose from pre-existing distal radials present in more primitive fish . Controversy still exists since Tiktaalik , a vertebrate often considered the missing link between fishes and land - living animals , had stubby leg - like limbs that lacked the finger - like radial bones found in the Panderichthys . The researchers of the paper commented that it `` is difficult to say whether this character distribution implies that Tiktaalik is autapomorphic , that Panderichthys and tetrapods are convergent , or that Panderichthys is closer to tetrapods than Tiktaalik . At any rate , it demonstrates that the fish -- tetrapod transition was accompanied by significant character incongruence in functionally important structures . '' . From the end of the Devonian to the Mid Carboniferous a 30 million year gap occurs in the fossil record . This gap , called Romer 's gap , is marked by the absence of ancestral tetrapod fossils and fossils of other vertebrates that look well - adapted for life on land . Transition from lobe - finned fishes to tetrapods ~ 385 Ma Eusthenopteron External video Eusthenopteron -- Animal Planet Genus of extinct lobe - finned fishes that has attained an iconic status from its close relationships to tetrapods . Early depictions of this animal show it emerging onto land , however paleontologists now widely agree that it was a strictly aquatic animal . The genus Eusthenopteron is known from several species that lived during the Late Devonian period , about 385 Ma . It was the object of intense study from the 1940s to the 1990s by the paleoichthyologist Erik Jarvik . Gogonasus Gogonasus ( snout from Gogo ) was a lobe - finned fish known from 3 - dimensionally preserved 380 million - year - old fossils found in the Gogo Formation . It was a small fish reaching 30 -- 40 cm ( 0.98 -- 1.31 ft ) in length . Its skeleton shows several tetrapod - like features . They included the structure of its middle ear , and its fins show the precursors of the forearm bones , the radius and ulna . Researchers believe it used its forearm - like fins to dart out of the reef to catch prey . Gogonasus was first described in 1985 by John A. Long . For almost 100 years Eusthenopteron has been the role model for demonstrating stages in the evolution of lobe - finned fishes to tetrapods . Gogonasus now replaces Eusthenopteron in being a better preserved representative without any ambiguity in interpreting its anatomy . ~ 385 Ma Panderichthys Adapted to muddy shallows , and capable of some kind of shallow water or terrestrial body flexion locomotion . Had the ability to prop itself up . They had large tetrapod - like heads , and are thought to be the most crownward stem fish - tetrapod with paired fins . ~ 375 Ma Tiktaalik A fish with limb - like fins that could take it onto land . It is an example from several lines of ancient sarcopterygian fish developing adaptations to the oxygen - poor shallow - water habitats of its time , which led to the evolution of tetrapods . Paleontologists suggest that it is representative of the transition between non-tetrapod vertebrates ( fish ) such as Panderichthys , known from fossils 380 million years old , and early tetrapods such as Acanthostega and Ichthyostega , known from fossils about 365 million years old . Its mixture of primitive fish and derived tetrapod characteristics led one of its discoverers , Neil Shubin , to characterize Tiktaalik as a `` fishapod '' . 365 Ma Acanthostega A fish - like early labyrinthodont that occupied swamps and changed views about the early evolution of tetrapods . It had eight digits on each hand ( the number of digits on the feet is unclear ) linked by webbing , it lacked wrists , and was generally poorly adapted to come onto land . Subsequent discoveries revealed earlier transitional forms between Acanthostega and completely fish - like animals . 374 -- 359 Ma Ichthyostega External video Ichthyostega -- Animal Planet Pierce et al. Vertebral Architecture 1 2 3 4 5 -- YouTube Until finds of other early tetrapods and closely related fishes in the late 20th century , Ichthyostega stood alone as the transitional fossil between fish and tetrapods , combining a fishlike tail and gills with an amphibian skull and limbs . It possessed lungs and limbs with seven digits that helped it navigate through shallow water in swamps . 359 -- 345 Ma Pederpes Pederpes is the earliest known fully terrestrial tetrapod . It is included here to complete the transition of lobe - finned fishes to tetrapods , even though Pederpes is no longer a fish . By the late Devonian , land plants had stabilized freshwater habitats , allowing the first wetland ecosystems to develop , with increasingly complex food webs that afforded new opportunities . Freshwater habitats were not the only places to find water filled with organic matter and choked with plants with dense vegetation near the water 's edge . Swampy habitats like shallow wetlands , coastal lagoons and large brackish river deltas also existed at this time , and there is much to suggest that this is the kind of environment in which the tetrapods evolved . Early fossil tetrapods have been found in marine sediments , and because fossils of primitive tetrapods in general are found scattered all around the world , they must have spread by following the coastal lines -- they could not have lived in freshwater only . Fossil Illuminates Evolution of Limbs from Fins Scientific American , 2 2 April 2004 . Post Devonian ( edit ) The Mesozoic Era began about 250 million years ago in the wake of the Permian - Triassic event , the largest mass extinction in Earth 's history , and ended about 66 million years ago with the Cretaceous -- Paleogene extinction event , another mass extinction that killed off non-avian dinosaurs , as well as other plant and animal species . It is often referred to as the Age of Reptiles because reptiles were the dominant vertebrates of the time . The Mesozoic witnessed the gradual rifting of the supercontinent Pangaea into separate landmasses . The climate alternated between warming and cooling periods ; overall the Earth was hotter than it is today . Carbon - iferous Carboniferous ( 359 -- 299 Ma ) : Sharks underwent a major evolutionary radiation during the Carboniferous . It is believed that this evolutionary radiation occurred because the decline of the placoderms at the end of the Devonian period caused many environmental niches to become unoccupied and allowed new organisms to evolve and fill these niches . Coastal seas during the Carboniferous c. 300 Ma The first 15 million years of the Carboniferous has very few terrestrial fossils . This gap in the fossil record , is called Romer 's gap after the American palaentologist Alfred Romer . While it has long been debated whether the gap is a result of fossilisation or relates to an actual event , recent work indicates the gap period saw a drop in atmospheric oxygen levels , indicating some sort of ecological collapse . The gap saw the demise of the Devonian fish - like ichthyostegalian labyrinthodonts , and the rise of the more advanced temnospondyl and reptiliomorphan amphibians that so typify the Carboniferous terrestrial vertebrate fauna . The Carboniferous seas were inhabited by many fish , mainly Elasmobranchs ( sharks and their relatives ) . These included some , like Psammodus , with crushing pavement - like teeth adapted for grinding the shells of brachiopods , crustaceans , and other marine organisms . Other sharks had piercing teeth , such as the Symmoriida ; some , the petalodonts , had peculiar cycloid cutting teeth . Most of the sharks were marine , but the Xenacanthida invaded fresh waters of the coal swamps . Among the bony fish , the Palaeonisciformes found in coastal waters also appear to have migrated to rivers . Sarcopterygian fish were also prominent , and one group , the Rhizodonts , reached very large size . Most species of Carboniferous marine fish have been described largely from teeth , fin spines and dermal ossicles , with smaller freshwater fish preserved whole . Freshwater fish were abundant , and include the genera Ctenodus , Uronemus , Acanthodes , Cheirodus , and Gyracanthus . Stethacanthidae As a result of the evolutionary radiation , carboniferous sharks assumed a wide variety of bizarre shapes -- including sharks of the family Stethacanthidae , which possessed a flat brush - like dorsal fin with a patch of denticles on its top . Stethacanthus ' unusual fin may have been used in mating rituals . Apart from the fins , Stethacanthidae resembled Falcatus ( below ) . Falcatus Falcatus is a genus of small cladodont - toothed sharks that lived 335 -- 318 Ma . They were about 25 -- 30 cm ( 10 -- 12 in ) long . They are characterised by the prominent fin spines that curved anteriorly over their heads . Orodus Orodus is another shark of the Carboniferous , a genus from the family Orodontidae that lived into the early Permian from 303 to 295 Ma . It grew to 2 m ( 6.6 ft ) in length . Permian Permian ( 298 -- 252 Ma ) : Acanthodes Acanthodes are an extinct genus of spiny shark . It had gills but no teeth , and was presumably a filter feeder . Acanthodes had only two skull bones and were covered in cubical scales . Each paired pectoral and pelvic fins had one spine , as did the single anal and dorsal fins , giving it a total of six spines , less than half that of many other spiny sharks . Acanthodians share qualities of both bony fish ( osteichthyes ) and cartilaginous fish ( chondrichthyes ) , and it has been suggested that they may have been stem chondrichthyans and stem gnathostomes . The Permian ended with the most extensive extinction event recorded in paleontology : the Permian - Triassic extinction event . 90 % to 95 % of marine species became extinct , as well as 70 % of all land organisms . It is also the only known mass extinction of insects . Recovery from the Permian - Triassic extinction event was protracted ; land ecosystems took 30M years to recover , and marine ecosystems took even longer . Triassic Triassic ( 252 -- 201 Ma ) : The fish fauna of the Triassic was remarkably uniform , reflecting the fact that very few families survived the Permian extinction . A considerable radiation of ray - finned fishes occurred during the Triassic , laying the foundation for many modern fishes . See Category : Triassic fish . Perleidus Perleidus was a ray - finned fish from the Early Triassic . About 15 centimetres ( 5.9 in ) in length , it was a freshwater predatory fish with jaws that hung vertically under the braincase , allowing them to open wide . Perleidus had highly flexible dorsal and anal fins , with a reduced number of fin rays , which would have made the fish more agile in the water . Pachycormiformes Pachycormiformes are an extinct order of ray - finned fish that existed from the Middle Triassic to the K - Pg extinction ( below ) . They were characterized by serrated pectoral fins , reduced pelvic fins and a bony rostrum . Their relations with other fish are unclear . Pholidophorus Pholidophorus was an extinct genus of teleost , around 40 centimetres ( 16 in ) long , from about 240 -- 140 Ma . Although not closely related to the modern herring , it was somewhat like them . It had a single dorsal fin , a symmetrical tail , and an anal fin placed towards the rear of the body . It had large eyes and was probably a fast swimming predator , hunting planktonic crustaceans and smaller fish . A very early teleost , Pholidophoris had many primitive characteristics such as ganoid scales and a spine that was partially composed of cartilage , rather than bone . The Triassic ended with the Triassic -- Jurassic extinction event . About 23 % of all families , 48 % of all genera ( 20 % of marine families and 55 % of marine genera ) and 70 % to 75 % of all species became extinct . Non-dinosaurian archosaurs continued to dominate aquatic environments , while non-archosaurian diapsids continued to dominate marine environments . Jurassic Jurassic ( 201 -- 145 Ma ) : During the Jurassic period , the primary vertebrates living in the seas were fish and marine reptiles . The latter include ichthyosaurs who were at the peak of their diversity , plesiosaurs , pliosaurs , and marine crocodiles of the families Teleosauridae and Metriorhynchidae . Numerous turtles could be found in lakes and rivers . See Category : Jurassic fish . Leedsichthys Along with its close pachycormid relatives Bonnerichthys and Rhinconichthys , Leedsichthys is part of a lineage of large - sized filter - feeders that swam the Mesozoic seas for over 100 million years , from the middle Jurassic until the end of the Cretaceous period . Pachycormids might represent an early branch of Teleostei , the group most modern bony fishes belong to ; in that case Leedsichthys is the largest known teleost fish . In 2003 , a fossil specimen 22 meters ( 72 feet ) long was unearthed . Ichthyodectidae This fossil Ichthyodectidae from the Lower Jurassic is one of the best conserved fossil fishes worldwide The family Ichthyodectidae ( literally `` fish - biters '' ) was a family of marine actinopterygian fish . They first appeared 156 Ma during the Late Jurassic and disappeared during the K - Pg extinction event 66 Ma . They were most diverse throughout the Cretaceous period . Sometimes classified in the primitive bony fish order Pachycormiformes , they are today generally regarded as members of the `` bulldog fish '' order Ichthyodectiformes in the far more advanced Osteoglossomorpha . Most ichthyodectids ranged between 1 and 5 meters ( 3.3 and 16.4 ft ) in length . All known taxa were predators , feeding on smaller fish ; in several cases , larger Ichthyodectidae preyed on smaller members of the family . Some species had remarkably large teeth , though others , such as Gillicus arcuatus , had small ones and sucked in their prey . The largest Xiphactinus was 20 feet long , and appeared in the Late Cretaceous ( below ) . Cret - aceous Cretaceous ( 145 -- 66 Ma ) : See Category : Cretaceous fish . Sturgeon True sturgeons appear in the fossil record during the Upper Cretaceous . Since that time , sturgeons have undergone remarkably little morphological change , indicating their evolution has been exceptionally slow and earning them informal status as living fossils . This is explained in part by the long generation interval , tolerance for wide ranges of temperature and salinity , lack of predators due to size , and the abundance of prey items in the benthic environment . Cretoxyrhina Cretoxyrhina mantelli was a large shark that lived about 100 to 82 million years ago , during the mid Cretaceous period . It is commonly known as the Ginsu Shark . This shark was first identified by a famous Swiss Naturalist , Louis Agassiz in 1843 , as Cretoxyhrina mantelli . However , the most complete specimen of this shark was discovered in 1890 , by the fossil hunter Charles H. Sternberg , who published his findings in 1907 . The specimen consisted of a nearly complete associated vertebral column and over 250 associated teeth . This kind of exceptional preservation of fossil sharks is rare because a shark 's skeleton is made of cartilage , which is not prone to fossilization . Charles dubbed the specimen Oxyrhina mantelli . This specimen represented a 20 - foot - long ( 6.1 m ) shark . Enchodus Enchodus is an extinct genus of bony fish . It flourished during the Upper Cretaceous and was small to medium in size . One of the genus ' most notable attributes are the large `` fangs '' at the front of the upper and lower jaws and on the palatine bones , leading to its misleading nickname among fossil hunters and paleoichthyologists , `` the saber - toothed herring '' . These fangs , along with a long sleek body and large eyes , suggest Enchodus was a predatory species . Xiphactinus External video Xiphactinus -- YouTube Xiphactinus is an extinct genus of large predatory marine bony fish of the Late Cretaceous . They grew more than 4.5 metres ( 15 feet ) long . Ptychodus Ptychodus is a genus of extinct hybodontiform shark that lived from the late Cretaceous to the Paleogene . Ptychodus mortoni ( pictured ) was about 32 feet ( 9.8 metres ) long and was unearthed in Kansas , United States . The end of the Cretaceous was marked by the Cretaceous -- Paleogene extinction event ( K - Pg extinction ) . There are substantial fossil records of jawed fishes across the K -- T boundary , which provides good evidence of extinction patterns of these classes of marine vertebrates . Within cartilaginous fish , approximately 80 % of the sharks , rays , and skates families survived the extinction event , and more than 90 % of teleost fish ( bony fish ) families survived . There is evidence of a mass kill of bony fishes at a fossil site immediately above the K -- T boundary layer on Seymour Island near Antarctica , apparently precipitated by the K -- Pg extinction event . However , the marine and freshwater environments of fishes mitigated environmental effects of the extinction event , and evidence shows that there was a major increase in size and abundance of teleosts immediately after the extinction , apparently due to the elimination of their ammonite competitors ( there was no similar change in shark populations across the boundary ) . Cenozoic Era Cenozoic Era ( 66 Ma to present ) : The current era has seen great diversification of bony fishes . Over half of all living vertebrate species ( about 32,000 species ) are fishes ( non-tetrapod craniates ) , a diverse set of lineages that inhabit all the world 's aquatic ecosystems , from snow minnows ( Cypriniformes ) in Himalayan lakes at elevations over 4,600 metres ( 15,100 feet ) to flatfishes ( order Pleuronectiformes ) in the Challenger Deep , the deepest ocean trench at about 11,000 metres ( 36,000 feet ) . Fishes of myriad varieties are the main predators in most of the world 's water bodies , both freshwater and marine . Amphistium Amphistium is a 50 - million - year - old fossil fish that has been identified as an early relative of the flatfish , and as a transitional fossil . In a typical modern flatfish , the head is asymmetric with both eyes on one side of the head . In Amphistium , the transition from the typical symmetric head of a vertebrate is incomplete , with one eye placed near the top of the head . Megalodon External video Megalodon Giant Shark -- National Geographic ( full documentary ) Megalodon battle History Channel The Nightmarish Megalodon Discovery Megalodon is an extinct species of shark that lived about 28 to 1.5 Ma . It looked much like a stocky version of the great white shark , but was much larger with fossil lengths reaching 20.3 metres ( 67 ft ) . Found in all oceans it was one of the largest and most powerful predators in vertebrate history , and probably had a profound impact on marine life . Prehistoric fish ( edit ) See also : Lists of prehistoric fish External video Fossil Fishes American Museum of Natural History Prehistoric fish are early fish that are known only from fossil records . They are the earliest known vertebrates , and include the first and extinct fish that lived through the Cambrian to the Tertiary . The study of prehistoric fish is called paleoichthyology . A few living forms , such as the coelacanth are also referred to as prehistoric fish , or even living fossils , due to their current rarity and similarity to extinct forms . Fish that have become recently extinct are not usually referred to as prehistoric fish .

In this sense it may have been the original ancestor of fishes . It was a primitive creature with no evidence of eyes , without a well defined head , and less than 2 inches ( 5 centimetres ) long . Pikaia was a sideways - flattened , leaf - shaped animal that swam by throwing its body into a series of S - shaped , zig - zag curves , similar to movement of snakes . Fish inherited the same swimming movement , but they generally have stiffer backbones . It had a pair of large head tentacles and a series of short appendages , which may be linked to gill slits , on either side of its head . Pikaia shows the essential prerequisites for vertebrates . The flattened body is divided into pairs of segmented muscle blocks , seen as faint vertical lines . The muscles lie on either side of a flexible structure resembling a rod that runs from the tip of the head to the tip of the tail .",

From left to right : Sven Vollfied ( back ) , Train Heartnet , Rinslet Walker ( back ) , Eve . Train Heartnet ( edit ) Train Heartnet ( トレイン ハート ネット , Torein Hātonetto ) , also known as Black Cat ( 黒 猫 , Kuro Neko ) , is the protagonist and a Sweeper partnered with Sven . Train is a lighthearted , courageous man who is highly skilled with a gun . The 23 year old 's distinguishing features are a choker with a tiny bell attached to it and the XIII tattoo he has on the left side of his chest . Two years earlier Train was a Chronos Number , a ruthless assassin and Number XIII of the group . He has a large amount of killing intent that he honed from his days as a Chronos member , and as a result he often has sudden mood swings , going from carefree to serious in an instant , especially when Creed is mentioned . This personality stems from being orphaned at 10 years old after the assassin Zagine Axeloake kills his parents , takes Train in and teaches him how to kill with efficiency . Zagine eventually dies and tells Train that he needs to be the strongest in order to survive . After that , Karl took Train in and he became an assassin for Chronos . Having been killing and exposed to death since early childhood , Train becomes very bleak and unsmiling until he leaves Chronos . He eventually meets Saya , a carefree sweeper , who slowly changes Train into a `` stray cat '' that does not blindly follow orders . He decides not to kill anymore , and after Creed kills Saya , he leaves to become a Sweeper and searches after him . He wields Hades ( ハーディス , Hādisu ) , a black and gold revolver made out of Orichalcum weighing 2.5 kg , with the numeral XIII engraved into its side and a red tassel attached to its hand grip that stretches out like a leash . He possesses 20 / 20 vision and is an extremely skilled marksman , able to accurately shoot down bullets from other guns , and hit the same place with a number of bullets at exactly the same time . He is ambidextrous , but naturally left - handed ; using his left hand increases his speed and accuracy . He can also shoot a number of bullets while in the air to accelerate him into a spinning slash , `` Black Claw '' , that leaves four large slash marks . He also uses specialty bullets created by Sven , including the Burst Bullet , which produces an extremely large amount of damage , and bullets that freeze or paralyze opponents . His gun is made out of the strongest metal called Orichalcum , which allows him to use the gun to deflect bullets and guard against other attacks . When his body becomes infected with nanomachines he manages to manipulate them into creating static electricity , allowing him to focus the electricity into the barrel of Hades , turning it into a railgun . However , he loses this ability after one last maximum shot in the final fight with Creed . Yabuki chose the name Train because it brings about the image of him freighthopping . In the original one - shot version , Stray Cat , Train was a famous Sweeper that gave that life up to become a Delivery Man . Additionally , he could use Tao to turn his chi into bullets fired from his pistol with a taijitu symbol on it , or into a blade coming from its barrel . Train came in first place in all three of the series ' character popularity contests . Voiced by : Takashi Kondō ( Japanese ) ; Jason Liebrecht ( English ) Voiced by : Minami Takayama ( Japanese ) ; Luci Christian ( English ) ( kid ) Sven Vollfied ( edit ) Sven Vollfied ( スヴェン ボル フィード , Suven Borufīdo ) is a sweeper and Train 's partner . The 30 - year - old follows a strict code of chivalry : he is always respectful to women and children and acts very proper . He befriends Eve , being the first person to treat her like a human , which causes the two to become very close like a father and daughter relationship . He is often tortured by Train 's capricious personality and is usually dragged into trouble and even more debt because of it . Sven is skilled in inventing and making innovative weapons and other various equipment , including bombs and special bullets for Train . Sven 's weapon of choice was originally a normal pistol , but after that is destroyed , he invents the Attaché Weapon Case ( アタッシュ ウェポン ケース , Atasshu Wepon Kēsu ) , a suitcase equipped with hidden weaponry inside of it . It contains a built - in machine gun , grenade launcher , net launcher , an electrical cable , and various other small weapons inside the case . Before becoming a sweeper , he was an inspector for the International Bureau of Investigations ( 国際 捜査 局 , Kokusai Sōsa Kyoku ) , along with his partner , Lloyd Goldwynne . Lloyd possessed an ability called Vision Eye ( 予見 眼 ( ヴィジョン アイ ) , Yoken Me ( Vijon Ai ) ) , which allowed him to see a few seconds into the future . Seven years ago , after being attacked by members of a crime family , Sven loses his right eye and Lloyd sacrifices himself to save him . A week before his death , Lloyd registered as an organ donor ; Sven received one of his eyes and the Vision Eye , although he is not able to use it as well as Lloyd . However , it puts a massive strain on his body so he normally keeps it under an eye patch . Sven later evolves it into the `` Grasper Eye '' ( 支配 眼 ( グラスパー アイ ) , Shihai Me ( Gurasupā Ai ) ) through rigorous training by having cannonballs fired at him , honing his endurance with the eye to the point where extensive use no longer drains him to the point of total collapse . The Grasper Eye allows him to see things in slow motion for about five seconds , allowing him to evade seemingly impossible attacks and barrages , and is less draining than the Vision Eye . The name Sven was taken from a minor character in a blockbuster film Yabuki enjoyed . In the original one - shot version , Stray Cat , Sven is a Delivery Man instead of a Sweeper and had a beard . Sven came in seventh , fourth and third place in the series ' three character popularity contests . Voiced by : Keiji Fujiwara ( Japanese ) ; Brandon Potter ( English ) Eve ( edit ) Eve ( イヴ , Ivu ) is a young beautiful girl , who is a genetically cloned and engineered bio-weapon . After being rescued by Train and Sven , she accompanies them on their travels . She is able to use nanotechnology to transform her body into various offensive and defensive weapons and heal any injuries . Initially only able to alter limited parts of her body , she is later able to transform her entire body at will , though it causes a lot of strain on her . She typically turns her arms into blades , hammers and shields , turns her hair into fists and microblades able to cut through steel , turns her own skin into steel , and sprouts wings from her back to fly . The nanomachines in her body also alter her clothing ; for changing her appendages or growing wings without ripping them . She is designed to be the ultimate soldier , being raised to be an emotionless killing machine , not understanding the concept of free choice . She is saved by Sven from the weapons smuggler , Torneo Rudman , and he treats her like a human for the first time in her life . Seemingly unfeeling and more like the machine she was made to be initially , she turned more and more like a human as the series progress due to the time she spent with Train and Sven . She loves reading , and can remember everything in a book after reading it once , which also served to build her humanity . Sven initially tries to keep her away from the Sweeper life for her own safety , though she proves that she can fight and he begins to treat her as a partner . She also has a deep sense of compassion and will absolutely not kill no matter what , stemming from guilt she feels for the murders she committed before Sven found her . Yabuki agonized over choosing her name , looking for one that evoked `` purity and innocence . '' Eve came in second place in all three of the series ' character popularity contests . The character Golden Darkness from Kentaro Yabuki 's later work , To Love - Ru , is based on Eve . They both have the ability to turn part of their bodies into weapons . Golden Darkness comes from the spaceship Lunatique and her creator is Tearju . In the anime series , both Yami and Eve are voiced by Misato Fukuen . In chapter 61 of To Love - Ru , Golden Darkness tries on a black dress similar to the one that Eve wears in the final chapters of Black Cat . In chapter 15 of To Love - Ru Darkness , it is revealed that Yami 's true name is Eve . Voiced by : Misato Fukuen ( Japanese ) ; Brina Palencia ( English ) Rinslet Walker ( edit ) Rinslet Walker ( リンスレット ウォーカー , Rinsuretto Uōkā ) is an infamous thief - for - hire that recruits Train and Sven for a heist , but continues teaming with them afterwards . The 21 - year - old works for everyone from mob bosses to the government , this being the reason a bounty is never placed on her . Rinslet claims she can steal anything and manipulate any man , though she has trouble with Train ; she can sucker him into participating in her schemes , but ca n't get him to follow her plans to the letter . She occasionally provides Train and Sven with targets , so that they can act as distractions while she steals . She treats Eve as a younger sister , much to her own annoyance . Rinslet owns and uses a gun but she is not as skilled at fighting as Train or Sven , she also carries a whip with a heart - shaped tip . Rinslet is not cold - hearted and will help others or even destroy what she is hired to steal if the item is dangerous to humanity . She is later forcefully hired by Chronos to act as bait . Yabuki chose the name Rinslet because it evokes the image of a `` silky haired beauty . '' Voiced by : Yukana ( Japanese ) ; Jamie Marchi ( English ) Supporting characters ( edit ) Saya Minatsuki ( edit ) Saya Minatsuki ( ミナツキ サヤ , Minatsuki Saya ) was an accomplished sweeper and close friend of Train . Her involvement with him led to his more human outlook on life and his departure from Chronos . Train denies having had romantic feelings for the 19 - year - old , stating he `` fell in love ... with her way of living . Not bound by anyone or anything ... like a stray cat . '' Saya has no memories of her life before the age of ten , due to heavy abuse from her parents . Her first real memory is waking up in hospital and being carried off to a relative 's house . She constantly wears a yukata because she likes their appearance and thinks it makes her stand out . She develops the `` Reflect Shot '' ( リフレク ショット , Rifureku Shotto ) over the course of five years , allowing her to fire bullets that ricochet off hard surfaces and strike opponents at odd angles and different velocities . Creed , seeing that Train 's personality is changing due to her , confronts Saya and the two fight until she is stabbed while being distracted by kids . She does manage to destroy his sword before dying . Devastated by her death , Train struggles while whether or not to get revenge on Creed , until settling on taking him in as a Sweeper instead of killing him . Saya 's spirit later helps Train defeat the Doctor 's Warp World and aim his final shot at Creed . Saya 's name just popped into Yabuki 's head while he was looking at her face . Voiced by : Megumi Toyoguchi ( Japanese ) ; Caitlin Glass ( English ) Tearju Lunatique ( edit ) Tearju Lunatique ( ティアーユ ルナティーク , Tiāyu Runatīku ) is one of the top authorities in nanotechnology and leader of the group that created Eve . Eve 's DNA was taken from hers , thus making them look identical . She is very bad at household chores and has the ability to trip over nothing . Train , Sven and Eve seek her out after Train is shot with the Lucifer bullet and turned into a child , in hopes she knows how to revert it . Because of the huge cost of a vaccine , she informs him the only other possibility is to mentally concentrate and visualize changing his body , similar to how Eve does it . The Apostles seek her out at the same time so Creed can obtain immortality , but she refuses , having resolved to never experiment with humans again . In the anime , Tearju is absent from this part joining much later after the assault on the Apostles , because she suffered brain damage from an explosion at the time of Eve 's creation . She is hospitalized and is shown to react violently to her reflection in the mirror . This is later explained by Tearju as being the result of her having hypnotized herself to react violently toward Eve . She travels with Sven and the others and shares information about Eve and Eden so that they may destroy Eden and save Eve . The Doctor is actually her former partner . Voiced by : Misato Fukuen ( Japanese ) ; Brina Palencia ( English ) Woodney ( edit ) Woodney ( ウドニー , Udonī ) is an overweight sweeper who imitates Train by dressing in a long black coat , referring to himself as the `` Black Cat '' and having the number thirteen tattooed on his left arm ( albeit it is in Arabic numerals , not Roman , drawn with a marker , and occasionally alternating arms ) . He meets with moderate success as a sweeper by using the Black Cat 's reputation to intimidate his enemies , but this tactic backfires when he is faced with a powerful criminal . After an encounter with the real Train , he gives up imitating him and attempts to become his disciple , but Train convinces him he would help more by being an informer to them . In the anime , the only main difference in Woodney is that he keeps on following the group , instead of turning into an information broker , and is the cause of some humorous moments . Voiced by : Bon Ishihara ( Japanese ) ; Jeremy Inman ( English ) Chronos ( edit ) Chronos ( 秘密 結社 ( クロノス ) , Himitsu Kessha ( Kuronosu ) ) is an organization that controls one third of the world 's economy , and much of the plot revolves around them and their connection to Train , a former member . They have a special group of strong individuals , the Chronos Numbers ( 時 の 番 人 ( クロノ ・ ナンバーズ ) , Toki no Bannin ( Kurono Nanbāzu ) ) , that act as `` Erasers '' ( 抹殺 者 ( イレイザー ) ) , or assassins and only follow orders from the Council of Elders that run the organization . Each Number have complete mastery of a weapon made of Orichalcum , the strongest metal in the world . Sephiria Arks ( edit ) Sephiria Arks ( セフィリア アークス , Sefiria Ākusu ) , known as Number I , is the commander of the Numbers and is trusted enough by Chronos to be given total control over killing Creed . Sephiria was one of the few members who were `` born for Chronos '' , as she stated that when she was an infant she underwent surgery to enhance her recovery time from injuries . Sven once commented that her eyes allowed her to stare into the recesses of one 's soul . This empathy is her greatest strength , which allows her to utilize her powers of manipulation to their utmost extent . She will do anything to finish her missions and will sacrifice whatever it takes in order to succeed in meeting an objective . However , she does show some inner conflict in her manipulation , even questioning Belze about her actions . She controls all of the Chronos Numbers ' actions as well as many of the independent operatives in the hunt for Creed with little interference from the Elders . Despite her gentle looks and young age , her swordsmanship is undisputed . She has such precision and swiftness with her weapon , Christ ( クライスト , Kuraisuto , `` Ichthus '' in the English translation ) , a saber of unparalleled sharpness , that her strokes produce no sound and her movements leave after - images in her wake . She knows all thirty - six moves of her style , the ultimate being `` Mekkai World Destroyer '' , which completely reduces a target to nothing . However , her muscles sustain severe damage in using this technique . Although she loses , she survives her battle with Creed due to Train 's timely arrival and her enhanced healing . Her personality is drastically changed in the anime . Here , she is much less charismatic , showing little outward emotion , and is generally much more ruthless and aggressive . She is also much less manipulative , preferring to handle things personally and with straightforward planning rather than manipulate others into doing work for Chronos . She initially holds much animosity towards Train for his decision to leave Chronos and tries to kill him on several occasions . At the end of the anime , she and the other four Numbers left take control of Chronos . Voiced by : Kikuko Inoue ( Japanese ) ; Lydia Mackay ( English ) Belze Rochefort ( edit ) Belze Rochefort ( ベルゼー ロシュフォール , Beruzē Roshufōru ) , known as Number II , is the vice commander of the Numbers , and one of the closest people to Sephiria . He understands that Chronos is a dark and evil organization but also knows that if Chronos is destroyed , the world will fall into chaos . His weapon is an Orichalcum spear named Gungnir ( グングニル , Gunguniru ) . Belze is a cultured man and an accomplished martial artist . Creed himself says that even two of his apostles working together have a chance of losing to Belze . Belze holds no ill - will towards Train but hates Creed . He truly respects Sephiria as his superior even though he is several years older than her . After fighting to a draw with Charden Flamberg and Kyoko Kirisaki , Belze is the first to realize just how dangerous the Apostles of the Stars are . He usually takes a back seat to Sephiria and complies with her decisions even though he will express his opinion if he sees a flaw in her plans . Voiced by : Hideyuki Hori ( Japanese ) ; Mike McFarland ( English ) Emilio Lowe ( edit ) Emilio Lowe ( エミリオ ロウ , Emirio Rou ) , known as Number III , is a member of Chronos . While he is briefly referred to , he never actually appears in the original manga . In the anime , he is a member of the Zero Numbers who defect from Chronos . He uses an Orichalcum bow and arrows as a weapon named Artemis ( アルテミス , Arutemisu ) , and is able to fire them at an extremely fast rate . While on Eden , he is able to constantly revive due to nanomachines and Tao , though it kills him once the connection is severed . He takes part in the attack on the Apostles of the Stars . Kranz Maduke ( edit ) Kranz Maduke ( クランツ マドゥーク , Kurantsu Madūku ) , known as Number IV , is a blind man raised to be an assassin from birth . Along with his partner , Baldor , he is extremely violent , going as far as destroying entire towns while completing their missions , and loyal to Chronos . He wears a helmet that conceals his eyes , having lost his sight in a battle several years ago , and has learned to fight through sensing sound and movement as he believes he was born to fight . His number is located on one of the eyes of the helmet . He and Baldor are tasked with killing the Apostles before Chronos ' next strike on Creed , and also participates in the attack on Creed 's headquarters using the Sweepers Alliance as a decoy . Kranz enjoys being silent and rarely talks , thus leaving Baldor to make the decisions . His weapon is an Orichalcum knife named Mars ( マルス , Marusu ) , which is able to vibrate at a high frequency , allowing it to easily cut steel . He appears in the anime as one of the Zero Numbers , who defect from Chronos . Voiced by : Atsushi Kakehashi ( Japanese ) ; Viktor Walker ( English ) Nizer Bruckheimer ( edit ) Nizer Bruckheimer ( ナイザー ブラッカイマー , Naizā Burakkaimā ) , known as Number V , is the leader of the elite commando squad Cerberus , and in charge of the close - range attacks . He wields a pair of Orichalcum tonfas named Dioskouroi ( ディオス クロイ , Diosukuroi ) , which he wields with incredible skill . He is a bald man with a well cut black beard and commonly escorts Sephiria Arks when she leaves for business . Nizer is one of the first to act in Sephiria 's defense when she is not treated with respect . He holds a personal vendetta against Creed Diskenth for the death of Number X , his old partner Ash , and orders the others to allow him to be the one to kill Creed . Even though he holds a grudge against Creed , Nizer does not hunt him down for revenge but to complete his mission as a Number . After the destruction of the castle and Beluga 's death , Nizer succumbs to a near - fatal wound and enters a coma . He recovers but is too injured to partake in the final attack on the Apostles . Voiced by : Hisao Egawa ( Japanese ) ; Daniel Penz ( English ) Anubis ( edit ) Anubis ( アヌビス , Anubisu ) , known as Number VI , is an anime - only character . He is a large black wolf , capable of human speech , with a long , mechanical tail made of Orichalcum .

Anubis is first seen defending Numbers I and II after they are betrayed by the newly emerged Zero Numbers . Voiced by : Andrew Tipps Jenos Hazard ( edit ) Jenos Hazard ( ジェノス ハザード , Jenosu Hazādo ) , known as Number VII , is the middle - range attacker of Cerberus . A womanizer , that gets violent whenever he sees a woman injured , his attempts at flirting usually fail due to overzealousness . Jenos is usually laid back and energetic and does n't appear to be serious most of the time , making it difficult for some to believe he is a Chronos assassin . He becomes infatuated with Rinslet , who uses physical violence to avert his flirts , though in the end she begins to warm up to him . In exchange for Rinslet 's help in tracking Creed , Jenos becomes her bodyguard . Jenos ' weapon is Excelion ( エクセリオン , Ekuserion ) , a glove with indestructible Orichalcum wires attached to its tips , which he uses to tightly grasp or lacerate his opponents or their guns . He can also control the sharpness of the wires so they can either cut through stone or catch someone safely . Jenos cares about the survival of his teammates just as much as he does completing the mission .

He wields the rocket - boosted flail Heimdall ( ヘイムダル , Heimudaru ) , which only he can wield well enough to use in battle . Baldor is willing to do anything but betray Chronos . Ironically , in the anime he is shown as one of the Zero Numbers that betray and destroy Chronos . Voiced by : Anri Katsu ( Japanese ) ; Justin Cook ( English ) David Pepper ( edit ) David Pepper ( デイビッド ペッパー , Deibiddo Peppā ) , known as Number IX , is an anime - only character . He is injured by the Apostles of the Stars when a gravity ball crushes him and his foe . Later , it was said that he was buried but it is unknown if he died due to the injuries or if the Zero Numbers killed him . He uses Orichalcum gambling cards called Sigurd ( ジーク フリード , Jīkufurīdo ) as his weapons . He likes talking about gambling while fighting and knows Train . Voiced by : Takaya Kuroda ( Japanese ) ; Daniel Drumm ( English ) Ash ( edit ) Ash ( アッシュ , Asshu ) , formally known as Number X , was a close friend and partner of Naizer until he was killed by Creed . While he is briefly referred to , he never actually appears in the original manga . He was designed exclusively for the anime by series creator Kentaro Yabuki .

This allows it to block attacks , such as bullets , or cut through metal with its edges . He disguises himself as `` Glin '' ( グリン , Gurin ) in order to form the Sweeper Alliance ( 掃除屋 同盟 , Sōjiya Dōmei ) to attack the Apostles as a decoy for Chronos . Voiced by : Mitsuki Saiga ( Japanese ) ; Jerry Jewell ( English ) Beluga J Heard ( edit ) Beluga J. Heard ( ベルーガ J ハード , Berūga J Hādo ) , known as Number XI , is the long range attacker in the Cerberus assassination squad . He wields an Orichalcum bazooka named Verethraghna ( ウルスラグナ , Urusuraguna ) , which can also change into a large hammer . Beluga also carries a knife for close - range fighting . Due to his weapon of choice , Beluga is usually used for attacks against groups or nations rather than one - one - one duels . To him , completing the mission with his team is everything and personal feelings can wait until the job is done . He dies helping Jenos and Nizer escape from the Apostles of the Stars ' collapsing hideout after a failed attempt on Creed 's life due to Jenos ' intervention . His last words are disapproving of Jenos ' actions , but also thanking Jenos for keeping him from killing his own friend . Voiced by : Kouji Ishii ( Japanese ) ; Gordon Holey ( English ) Mason Ordrosso ( edit ) Mason Ordrosso ( メイソン オルドロッソ , Meison Orudorosso ) , known as Number XII , is the eldest member of the Numbers . He is the wisest and most experienced of the group , and the lone survivor of the war against the Tao - users 25 years ago .

He only briefly appears during the final attack on the Apostles , going to investigate another of their hideouts with Belze . His weapon is Á Bao A Qu ( ア ・ バオア ・ クー , A. Baoa. Kū ) . In the anime , Mason replaces Creed as the main antagonist in the final story arc . He is featured as the leader of the Zero Numbers , who defect from Chronos and destroy it after planning since the end of the war . Mason 's Orichalcum weapon is a golden suit of armor that covers every inch of his body except his face , and also includes two large swords . Voiced by : Rokuro Naya ( Japanese ) ; Randy Tallman ( English ) Apostles of the Stars ( edit ) The Apostles of the Stars ( 星 の 使徒 , Hoshi no Shito ) is a revolutionary group led by former Chronos member Creed Diskenth . Their aim is to start a revolution , including overthrowing Chrono 's control on the economy . They do not just wish to bring about a world revolution , but they seek revenge against Chronos , each for their own reasons ; for example , Shiki and Maro due to the war between the Taoist and Chronos long ago . Some recruits , however , are merely criminals who wish to use their new - found powers to kill for fun . Although Tao has been the primary source of the Apostles ' power , Creed also relies on Doctor 's investigations in nanomachines to grant him eternal power and elevate him to a god . In the anime , Creed hinted that the Apostles had some partnership with the group Zero Numbers . Every member of the Apostles of The Stars has the power of Tao ( 道 ( タオ ) , Michi ( Tao ) ) and the ability to control their chi or life force to perform supernatural abilities . Practitioners possess one of two types of Tao powers by using Soft Chi Kung , a force that accelerates cellular movement through chi ; Inner Chi Kung , which manipulates chi inside the body , or Outer Chi Kung , which releases chi outwards . Those who possess the potential awaken these powers through the Shinkitou ( 神氣 湯 ) , an elixir only concocted by born Taoists such as Shiki . Another member of the Apostles , Maro , is also from the Forbidden Continent , and together with Shiki , they bear the most traditional Tao powers , such as controlling and summoning bugs ( Shiki ) , using ink marks ( Shiki ) and controlling gravity ( Maro ) . Other members of the Apostles rely on more `` deviant '' powers , such as Creed 's `` Imagine Blade , which is a sword that can expand for 80 meters . The Apostles have a small army of soldiers , armed with all kinds of weaponry and equipped with special armor that can withstand grenades . They are known as the Shooting Star Unit and show great loyalty to Creed and the other Apostles . There is also an experimental squad of cyborg soldiers , the Kiseitai ( 鬼 星 隊 ( き せい たい ) , Onisei - tai ( Kiseitai ) , `` Demon Star Force '' ) , that were created by Doctor to be weapons of war . They were released by Echinda after Doctor 's and Eathes ' defeat . However , they were easily defeated by Sven , Eve , and Chronos members IV , VII , VIII and X . Creed Diskenth ( edit ) Creed Diskenth ( クリード ディスケンス , Kurīdo Disukensu ) is the series ' main antagonist . He is the leader of the Apostles of the Stars and Train 's former partner before he joined the Chronos Numbers . He tells the group that their only purpose is to destroy Chronos , but he really plans to make himself immortal using nanomachines and rule the world forever by selectivity controlling the human population . He is severely warped after being abused by his mother , whom he kills , and the police while living on the streets . It is stated that Creed had the abilities to be chosen as Chronos Number XIII , but was deemed too unstable and the position went to Train . He greatly admires Train to the point of obsession , as he thinks of him as the only person in the world that he can relate to . After Train changes during his meetings with Saya , Creed kills her , and makes it his goal to return Train to his previous lifestyle and have him join the Apostles . Creed uses his Tao powers to manipulate the hilt of his former sword , `` Kotetsu '' ( 虎 徹 ) , to form the `` Imagine Blade '' ( イマジン ブレード , Majin Burēdo ) . Its first form , Level 1 , is an invisible sword that is able to extend up to eighty meters . It later evolves into Level 2 , a living sword with a mouth and eyes that is directly linked with Creed 's emotions . It is able to extend and be manipulated like a whip at will , bite opponents , and break Orichalcum . Level 3 merges the sword with his arm , with eyes on his shoulder and another large arm extending from his back . Its final form , Level Max , creates a colossal blade made out of light . After obtaining The Breath of God nanomachines , Creed becomes able to regenerate from any fatal wound in seconds and he will remain in his peak physical condition forever . The nanomachines ' only weakness is that they can not fully restore the brain , which would leave him with only primal instincts . However , these are removed from his body after his final battle with Train by Eve . Train and Chronos allow Creed to walk away , and he is last seen living with Echidna in a country villa , using a wheelchair , with the implication that the physical and mental injuries he sustained in his fight with Train left him vegetative . In the final episode of the anime , Creed fights Mason so that Train can rescue Eve , and in the end he is seen , again , in the villa in the company of Echidna , quietly painting a landscape . Voiced by : Shinichiro Miki ( Japanese ) ; Chris Patton ( English ) Shiki ( edit ) Shiki ( シキ ) is one of the highest ranking in command of the Apostle of the Stars and one of the first recruited . He is a true Taoist , wearing the clothes from his homeland of Itairiku , a member of the clan whose ancestors started a war against Chronos a quarter of a century ago . As a true Taoist , Shiki manipulates his chi and can create the special elixir that can grant people with the power of Tao . Shiki 's main form of attack is through the use of insect summoning and control , including the fully sentient , humanoid , Setsuki . They are created from his chi , allowing Shiki to create them indefinitely although they eventually self - destruct , as such his Tao power is called `` Insect '' . However , besides the insects , he masters the usage of ink seals , using them for manipulating his chi in various ways , ranging from creating a cursed sword , to creating an energy blast and a large dragon made of fire . Shiki battles Train in order to prove that the Tao are not weak , though Train defeats Shiki to break him of those feelings and show him that there is more to life than proving the Tao to be strongest . He is last seen with Maro , riding on one of his giant bugs at the series ' end . In the anime he joins the Zero Numbers and is killed by Anubis while fighting on Eden against the Chronos numbers and Sweepers . Voiced by : Mayumi Yamaguchi ( Japanese ) ; Greg Ayres ( English ) Charden Flamberg ( edit ) Charden Flamberg ( シャルデン フラムブルグ , Sharuden Furamuburugu ) is a member of the Apostles of the Stars . He wears sunglasses and a silk top hat constantly , though he is found to be very attractive to Kyoko after taking them off . He wields the power to control blood , including blood drawn from his enemies ; taking in blood from his opponents , even if they are different types than his , does n't seem to cause him any ill - effect . Charden wishes to take down Chronos , though he does not agree with Creed 's methods , leading him to defect from the group with Kyoko while their castle is being attacked by Cerberus . Out of all of the Apostles , he is the only one that spoke up about Durham 's murder . Charden knows that Creed does not care about them and only sees the Apostles as a means to an end . Train has him promise to keep away from battle after saving him from death at Sephiria Arks ' hands . In the anime , Charden was formerly an assassin . Voiced by : Sho Hayami ( Japanese ) ; Kent Williams ( English ) Kyoko Kirisaki ( edit ) Kyoko Kirisaki ( キリサキ きょうこ , Kirisaki Kyōko ) is an energetic high school student from the island country of Jipangu . Kyoko can easily be considered a ditzy person because of her lack of focus . She has the Tao ability to create and control fire , increasing her body temperature up to a thousand degrees ; her favorite way of killing people is kissing them and then incinerating their bodies from the inside out . She leaves the Apostles of the Stars with Charden , so he will not be lonely . Kyoko falls in love with Train when he saves her from a dangerous criminal . Due to her feelings , she commits herself to Train 's own personal philosophy to not kill senselessly ; however , her infatuation with Train causes him nothing but an endless amount of headaches . She adopts a tiny black kitten that likes to ride on her shoulder . After leaving the Apostles , Kyoko returns to her normal schoolgirl life , seen in the company of her school friends . Kyoko is a popular character in the series , coming in third place in the first two character popularity contests , and fourth in the last . A character with the same name appears in To Love - Ru as a popular idol and star of the TV show Magical Kyoko . Voiced by : Chiemi Chiba ( Japanese ) ; Monica Rial ( English ) Maro ( edit ) Maro ( マロ ) is a true Taoist and one of the first recruited by Creed , along with Shiki . He is a large sumo wrestler - like man able to control gravity within a certain range . He can create a gravity wall capable of deflecting projectiles , its weakness being when they are fired from above . He can also launch his punches and roll into a ball to crush opponents . He was defeated by Train , who shot a tranquilizer bullet into his leg . He is seen riding with Shiki on one of Shiki 's giant bugs at the series ' end . In the anime , he died in the final assault while fighting David Papper . It was also hinted by Mason that he was part of the Zero Numbers , but was never confirmed . Voiced by : Yasuhiko Kawazu ( Japanese ) ; Brad Jackson ( English ) Doctor ( edit ) Doctor ( ドクター , Dokutā ) is a highly talented scientist from Jipangu interested in nanomachines and one of Creed 's closest and first recruited allies . He cares little for human life , which he easily sacrifices and experiments with in order to pursue his goals and further knowledge . His Tao ability is called `` Warp World '' , which allows him to create an alternate world where everything he imagines will become reality , including reattaching an arm . He can also pull memories from the minds of those trapped in the Warp World , and bring those into reality as well ; however , it can backfire if a memory from one of his victims is strong enough to manifest on its own , such as when Saya came from Train 's memories and helped him escape Warp World . At the end of the series , he is last seen hiding from society . In the anime , his name is Kosuke Kanzaki ( カンザキ コウスケ ( コウスケ カンザキ ) ) and revealed to be a member of the Zero Numbers . Voiced by : Yū Mizushima ( Japanese ) ; J. Michael Tatum ( English ) Durham Glaster ( edit ) Durham Glaster ( デュラム グラスター , Dyuramu Gurasutā ) has the ability to channel his chi into his revolver , allowing him to fire destructive balls of energy without regard for ammunition . His mask also contains a hidden gun in case of emergencies . He attempts to fight Train in order to prove his status as a gunman , though he is easily defeated . Durham is obsessed with being the best gunman and that desire is what led him to fight Train . He is ruthlessly slaughtered by Creed afterward for `` being selfish . '' In the anime , he tried to kill Train during the Apostles ' attack on the Summit , but failed thanks to Sven 's Vision Eye . He later hunted Train down when his imposter was about , only to get beaten and pummeled for information before being let go and killed by Creed . Voiced by : Shinya Fukumatsu ( Japanese ) ; R Bruce Elliott ( English ) Echidna Parass ( edit ) Echidna Parass ( エキドナ パラス , Ekidona Parasu ) is an ex-actress whose Tao power , `` Gate '' , allows her to create portals from one point in space to another , up to 15 meters away . She can create portals for transportation , or she can create portals for single body parts or projectiles to be shot through , allowing her to attack from numerous angles . She is one of Creed 's closest allies and the first to realize that he never believed that the power of Tao alone could bring about his revolution . She deeply cares for Creed and wishes to live with him as a normal human , although he seems to be oblivious to this until the end . She vows to continue protecting him until he regains his strength and will to live , and retires to a country villa with a wheelchair - using Creed . Voiced by : Atsuko Tanaka ( Japanese ) ; Stephanie Young ( English ) Leon Elliott ( edit ) Leon Elliott ( リオン エリオット , Rion Eriotto ) is a young boy with a hateful distrust of adults and society due to his parents ' and sister 's death during a civil war in his country . He travels on a flying board , and has the Tao power of `` Wind '' enabling him to control air to suffocate people , throw wind gusts , and create a tornado with himself at the center . Leon hates being referred to as a child , being easily provoked when called such , and thinks girls are inherently weaker than boys . He leaves the Apostles after making a promise to Eve to leave if he loses to her in combat . He saves Train and Creed from falling from the mansion after their final battle , and is last seen traveling with Eathes . In the anime , he is the one who provides fireworks to attract Eve ( and thus the Eden too ) away from Palmila City . He seems to think that Eve is similar to Layla . It is also hinted in the anime that Leon might like Eve . Voiced by : Junko Minagawa ( Japanese ) ; Aaron Dismuke ( English ) Eathes ( edit ) Eathes ( エーテス , Ētesu ) is a monkey gifted with the ability to understand human language and speak after drinking the Tao potion . He can also project his soul into another being 's soul , allowing him to completely transform into them . He is granted all of their memories and abilities , though he is often unable to use them to their full potential . He frightfully admits defeat to Train 's crew and escorts them to Creed -- which he is later branded as a traitor and sent to be killed by the experimental Phantom Star Brigade . After being defeated and then saved by Eve , Eathes saves her from an grenade by Echidna , and at the series end is seen with Leon in one of his human disguises . Deak Slathky ( edit ) Deak Slathky ( ディーク スラスキー , Dīku Surasukī ) wields the power to produce and control ice . He can attack using shards of ice , create an ice barrier around his body , or even freeze his enemies with his touch . He joins the Apostles when they help him escape from prison after stalking and murdering four girls before storing them in a freezer . He is beaten by Sven using the Grasper Eye , with the Sweeper named Silphy delivering the final blow . Preta Ghoul ( edit ) Preta Ghoul ( プレタ グール , Pureta Gūru ) is a former priest who murdered sixteen people before going to jail and being broken out by the Apostles . Through Tao , he gains the ability to decay and rot anything that comes into contact with his body . He can also extend his aura to effect the surrounding area . He tag - teams with Maro in fighting Train and River , and is later defeated by River . The anime features him being captured by Saya , leading him to become obsessed with revenge against her despite the fact she has long been dead . He is encountered and defeated by Sven during the final assault on the Apostles ' base .

Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney , and recorded in October 1963 , it was the first Beatles record to be made using four - track equipment . With advance orders exceeding one million copies in the United Kingdom , `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' would have gone straight to the top of the British record charts on its day of release ( 29 November 1963 ) had it not been blocked by the group 's first million seller `` She Loves You '' , their previous UK single , which was having a resurgence of popularity following intense media coverage of the group . Taking two weeks to dislodge its predecessor , `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' stayed at number 1 for five weeks and remained in the UK top 50 for 21 weeks in total . It was also the group 's first American number 1 hit , entering the Billboard Hot 100 chart on 18 January 1964 at number 45 and starting the British invasion of the American music industry . By 1 February it topped the Hot 100 , and stayed there for seven weeks before being replaced by `` She Loves You '' . It remained on the Billboard chart for 15 weeks . `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' became the Beatles ' best - selling single worldwide selling more than 12 million copies . In 2013 , Billboard magazine named it the 44th biggest hit of `` all - time '' on the Billboard Hot 100 chart .

George Martin , however , had no such explicit recollections , believing that Capitol were left with no alternative but to release `` I Want To Hold Your Hand '' due to increasing demand for the group 's product . McCartney had recently moved into 57 Wimpole Street , London , where he was lodging as a guest of Dr Richard and Margaret Asher , and whose daughter , actress Jane Asher , had become McCartney 's girlfriend after their meeting earlier in the year . This location briefly became Lennon and McCartney 's new writing base , taking over from McCartney 's Forthlin Road home in Liverpool . Margaret Asher taught the oboe in the `` small , rather stuffy music room '' in the basement where Lennon and McCartney sat at the piano and composed ' I Want to Hold Your Hand ' . In September 1980 , Lennon told Playboy magazine : We wrote a lot of stuff together , one on one , eyeball to eyeball . Like in ' I Want to Hold Your Hand , ' I remember when we got the chord that made the song . We were in Jane Asher 's house , downstairs in the cellar playing on the piano at the same time . And we had , ' Oh you - u-u / got that something ... ' And Paul hits this chord and I turn to him and say , ' That 's it ! ' I said , ' Do that again ! ' In those days , we really used to absolutely write like that -- both playing into each other 's noses . In 1994 , McCartney agreed with Lennon 's description of the circumstances surrounding the composition of `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' , saying : ' Eyeball to eyeball ' is a very good description of it . That 's exactly how it was . ' I Want to Hold Your Hand ' was very co-written . It was our big number one ; the one that would eventually break us in America . Musical structure ( edit ) The song is in the key of G major and lyrically opens two beats early with `` Oh yeah , I 'll tell you something '' with a D-B , B-D melody note drop and rise over a I ( G ) chord . Controversy exists over the landmark chord that Lennon stated McCartney hit on the piano while they were composing the song . Marshall considers it is the minor vi ( Em ) chord ( the third chord in the I - V7 - vi ( G - D7 - Em ) progression ) . Everett is of the same opinion . Pedler claims , however , that more surprising is the melody note drop from B to F# against a III7 ( B7 ) chord on `` understand '' . Music theorists are divided over whether this chord is a iii ( Bm ) , a B major , or a B7 or even a B5 power chord with no major or minor defining third . Lyrically bland , random phrases were most likely called out and if they fitted the overall sound would stay . This , according to Ian MacDonald , was how Lennon and McCartney worked in partnership at that time . The song 's title is probably a variation of `` I Wanna Be Your Man '' which they had only just recently recorded at Abbey Road Studios . In the studio ( edit ) The Beatles recorded `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' at EMI Studios in Studio 2 on 17 October 1963 . This song , along with the single 's flip side , `` This Boy '' , was the first Beatles song to be recorded with four - track technology . The two songs were recorded on the same day , and each needed seventeen takes to complete . Mono and stereo mixing was done by George Martin on 21 October 1963 ; further stereo mixes were done on 8 June 1965 , for compilations released by EMI affiliates in Australia and the Netherlands , and on 7 November 1966 . `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' was one of two Beatles songs ( along with `` She Loves You '' as `` Sie liebt dich '' ) to be later recorded in German , entitled `` Komm , gib mir deine Hand '' . Both songs were translated by Luxembourger musician Camillo Felgen , under the pseudonym of `` Jean Nicolas '' . Odeon , the German arm of EMI ( the parent company of the Beatles ' record label , Parlophone ) was convinced that the Beatles ' records would not sell in Germany unless they were sung in German . The Beatles detested the idea , and when they were due to record the German version on 27 January 1964 at EMI 's Pathe Marconi Studios in Paris ( where the Beatles were performing 18 days of concerts at the Olympia Theatre ) they chose to boycott the session . Their record producer , George Martin , having waited some hours for them to show up , was outraged and insisted that they give it a try . Two days later , the Beatles recorded `` Komm , gib mir deine Hand '' , one of the few times in their career that they recorded outside London . However , Martin later conceded : `` They were right , actually , it was n't necessary for them to record in German , but they were n't graceless , they did a good job '' . `` Komm , gib mir deine Hand '' was released as a German single in March 1964 . In July , the song appeared in full stereo in the United States on the Beatles ' Capitol LP Something New . ( That album was released in CD form for the first time in 2004 , on The Capitol Albums , Volume 1 , and then rereleased in 2014 , individually and in the boxed set The US Albums . ) `` Komm , gib mir deine Hand '' also appeared on the compilations Past Masters and Mono Masters . The German - language track was a big hit in Germany at the time , but today , like all the other German - lyrics versions of English - language pop songs that were popular in that country during the 1950s and 1960s , it is generally considered as a cultural curiosity from a by - gone era at best . The English versions are much better known in Germany today ; the Beatles ' Red and Blue albums of the 1970s already featured the English hits on the German pressings . Promotion and release ( edit ) In the United Kingdom , `` She Loves You '' ( released in August ) had shot back to the number 1 position in November following blanket media coverage of the Beatles ( described as Beatlemania ) . Mark Lewisohn later wrote : `` ' She Loves You ' had already sold an industry - boggling three quarters of a million before these fresh converts were pushing it into seven figures . And at this very moment , just four weeks before Christmas , with everyone connected to the music and relevant retail industries already lying prone in paroxysms of unimaginable delight , EMI pulled the trigger and released ' I Want to Hold Your Hand ' . And then it was bloody pandemonium . '' On 29 November 1963 , Parlophone Records released `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' in the UK , with `` This Boy '' as the single 's B - side . Demand had been building for quite a while , as evidenced by the one million advance orders for the single . When it was finally released , the response was phenomenal . A week after it entered the British charts , on 14 December 1963 , it knocked `` She Loves You '' off the top spot , the first instance of an act taking over from itself at number 1 in British history , and it clung to the top spot for five weeks . It stayed in the charts for another 15 weeks and made a one - week return to the charts on 16 May 1964 . Beatlemania was peaking at that time ; during the same period , the Beatles set a record by occupying the top two positions on both the album and single charts in the UK . EMI and Brian Epstein finally convinced American label Capitol Records , a subsidiary of EMI , that the Beatles could make an impact in the US , leading to the release of `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' with `` I Saw Her Standing There '' on the B - side as a single on 26 December 1963 . Capitol had previously resisted issuing Beatle recordings in the US . This resulted in the relatively modest Vee - Jay and Swan labels releasing the group 's earlier Parlophone counterparts in the US . Seizing the opportunity , Epstein demanded US $40,000 from Capitol to promote the single ( the most the Beatles had ever previously spent on an advertising campaign was US $5,000 ) . The single had actually been intended for release in mid-January 1964 , coinciding with the planned appearance of the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show . However , a fourteen - year - old fan of the Beatles , Marsha Albert , wanted to hear the Beatles on the radio earlier . Later she said : `` It was n't so much what I had seen , it 's what I had heard . They had a scene where they played a clip of ' She Loves You ' and I thought it was a great song ... I wrote that I thought the Beatles would be really popular here , and if ( deejay Carroll James ) could get one of their records , that would really be great . '' James was the DJ for WWDC , a radio station in Washington , DC . Eventually he decided to pursue Albert 's suggestion to him and asked the station 's promotion director to get British Overseas Airways Corporation to ship in a copy of `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' from Britain . Albert related what happened next : `` Carroll James called me up the day he got the record and said ' If you can get down here by 5 o'clock , we 'll let you introduce it . ' '' Albert managed to get to the station in time , and introduced the record with : `` Ladies and gentlemen , for the first time on the air in the United States , here are the Beatles singing ' I Want to Hold Your Hand . ' '' The song proved to be a huge hit , a surprise for the station since they catered mainly to a more staid audience , which would normally be expecting songs from singers such as Andy Williams or Bobby Vinton instead of rock and roll . James took to playing the song repeatedly on the station , often turning down the song in the middle to make the declaration , `` This is a Carroll James exclusive '' , to avoid theft of the song by other stations . Capitol threatened to seek a court order banning airplay of `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' , which was already being spread by James to a couple of DJs in Chicago and St. Louis . James and WWDC ignored the threat , and Capitol came to the conclusion that they could well take advantage of the publicity , releasing the single two weeks ahead of schedule on 26 December . The demand was insatiable ; in the first three days alone , a quarter of a million copies had already been sold ( 10,000 copies In New York City every hour ) . Capitol was so overloaded by the demand , it contracted part of the job of pressing copies off to Columbia Records and RCA . By 18 January , the song had started its 15 - week chart run , and on 1 February , the Beatles finally achieved their first number 1 in Billboard , emulating the success of another British group , the Tornados with `` Telstar '' , which topped the Billboard chart for three weeks in December 1962 . `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' finally relinquished the number 1 spot after seven weeks , succeeded by the song they had knocked off the top in Britain : `` She Loves You '' . `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' sold around five million copies in the US alone . The replacement of themselves at the top of the US charts was the first time since Elvis Presley in 1956 , with `` Love Me Tender '' beating out `` Do n't Be Cruel '' , that an act had dropped off the top of the American charts only to be replaced by another of their releases . `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' also finished as the number 1 song for 1964 , according to Billboard . In 2013 , Billboard listed it as the 44th most successful song of all - time on the Hot 100 . With that , the `` British Invasion '' of America had been launched . Throughout 1964 , British pop and rock artists enjoyed unprecedented success on the American charts . The American single 's front and back sleeves featured a photograph of the Beatles with Paul McCartney holding a cigarette . In 1984 , Capitol Records airbrushed out the cigarette for the re-release of the single . `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' was also released in America on the album Meet the Beatles ! , which altered the American charts by actually outselling the single . Beforehand , the American markets were more in favour of hit singles instead of whole albums ; however , two months after the album 's release , it had shipped 3,650,000 copies , over 200,000 ahead of the `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' single at 3,400,000 . The song was included on the 1964 Canadian release The Beatles ' Long Tall Sally . The November 1966 stereo remix appeared on 1966 's A Collection of Beatles Oldies , and on several later Beatles compilation albums , including 1973 's 1962 -- 1966 , 1982 's 20 Greatest Hits , and 2000 's 1 . The 2009 CD rerelease of the Beatles ' catalog included the 1966 stereo remix on Past Masters and the original mono mix on Mono Masters . Reception ( edit ) The song was greeted by raving fans on both sides of the Atlantic but was dismissed by some critics as nothing more than another fad song that would not hold up to the test of time . Cynthia Lowery of the Associated Press expressed her exasperation with Beatlemania by saying of the Beatles : `` Heaven knows we 've heard them enough . It has been impossible to get a radio weather bulletin or time signal without running into ' I Want to Hold Your Hand ' . '' Bob Dylan was impressed by the Beatles ' innovation , saying , `` They were doing things nobody was doing . Their chords were outrageous , just outrageous , and their harmonies made it all valid . '' For a time Dylan thought the Beatles were singing `` I get high '' instead of `` I ca n't hide '' . He was surprised when he met them and found out that none of them had actually smoked marijuana . The Beach Boys ' Brian Wilson said the song `` was n't even that great a record , but they ( female Beatles fans ) just screamed at it ... It got us off our asses in the studio . We started cutting -- we said ' look , do n't worry about the Beatles , we 'll cut our own stuff . '' The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Record of the Year , but the award went to Astrud Gilberto and Stan Getz for `` The Girl from Ipanema '' . However , in 1998 , the song won the Grammy Hall of Fame Award . It has also made the list in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll . In addition , the Recording Industry Association of America , the National Endowment for the Arts and Scholastic Press have named `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' as one of the Songs of the Century . In 2004 , it was ranked number 16 on Rolling Stone 's list of `` The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time '' . In 2010 , Rolling Stone placed the song at number 2 on its list of the 100 Greatest Beatles Songs , after `` A Day in the Life '' . It was ranked number 2 in Mojo 's list on the `` 100 Records That Changed the World '' , after Little Richard 's `` Tutti Frutti '' . The song was ranked number 39 on Billboard 's All Time Top 100 As of August 2015 , `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' is ranked as the 45th best song of all time , as well as the number 3 song of 1963 , in an aggregation of critics ' lists at acclaimedmusic.net . Time included the song on its list of the All - TIME 100 Songs . The Beatles ' recording of this song also appeared as the opening track in the 1997 Time - Life six - CD box set , Gold And Platinum : The Ultimate Rock Collection . Starting at the song 's final week at number 1 on the American charts , the Beatles have the all - time record of seven number 1 songs in a one - year period . In order , these were `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' , `` She Loves You '' , `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' , `` Love Me Do '' , `` A Hard Day 's Night '' , `` I Feel Fine '' and `` Eight Days a Week '' . It was also the first of seven songs written by Lennon - McCartney to top the US charts in 1964 -- an all - time record for writing the most songs to hit number 1 on the US charts in the same calendar year .

The song has no real `` lead '' singer , as Lennon and McCartney sing in harmony with each other . Lennon 's vocals are more prominent on the recording and on the live bootleg BBC version ; however , when the Beatles performed the song on The Ed Sullivan Show on 9 February 1964 , McCartney 's vocals could be heard more clearly ( although this may have been due to the audio mix , as their microphones were not turned to the same sound level ) .

Please help rewrite it to explain the fiction more clearly and provide non-fictional perspective . ( April 2010 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Helena A Midsummer Night 's Dream character Washington Allston 's 1818 painting Hermia and Helena . Created by William Shakespeare Date ( s ) Shakespearean times Helena is a fictional character and one of the four young lovers -- Demetrius , Lysander , Hermia and Helena -- featured in William Shakespeare 's play A Midsummer Night 's Dream . She is the daughter of Nedar , a member of Theseus court and the Athenian aristocracy , and a friend of Hermia , with whom she is often compared . Prior to the play 's beginning , she is betrothed to the nobleman Demetrius but is jilted when his affections turn to Hermia instead . Despite this , Helena 's abiding love for Demetrius remains consistent throughout the play . Hermia and her lover , Lysander , confide in Helena that they plan to elope . In the hopes that she will gain back some of his respect , Helena tells Demetrius of Hermia and Lysander 's escape and , that night , the two follow the lovers into the forest . Though Demetrius is deliberately cruel towards her , Helena remains honest in her devotion to him . Her behaviour catches the attention of Oberon , who commands that Puck enchant a sleeping Demetrius so that he will fall back in love with Helena . When Puck mistakenly enchants Lysander instead , then put the potion on the real Demetrius . Both men become enamoured with her and desert Hermia in the woods . Confused by the sudden change in behaviour , Helena convinces herself that the three other lovers have banded together to ridicule her . Throughout her conquest for Demetrius ' love , she becomes convinced the others are merely mocking her tried , but true efforts for love . Helena is left confused and hurt by how ungentlemanly and unfriendly her closest comrades are . In the play 's climax , she and Hermia nearly come to blows while the two men set out to kill one another for Helena 's affections . Separated by Oberon and Puck and with dawn approaching , the lovers each decide to sleep again . Oberon commands Puck to reverse the enchantment placed on Lysander , and when the lovers are discovered in the morning by Theseus , Duke of Athens , all is put to rights . Demetrius claims that a metaphorical ' sickness ' made him love Hermia , but in health , his love has returned to Helena . The four lovers are married in a joint ceremony with Theseus and Hippolyta and together mock the show put on by the Mechanicals in the play 's final act . While not the protagonist of A Midsummer Night 's Dream , Helena is one of its most talkative characters . Her dialogue provides key insight for the audience into humanist beliefs on the nature of love and the process of falling in love . Helena is never criticised for her unrequited love for Demetrius ; her constancy is seen by other characters as a great virtue , compared to his fickle nature . She also demonstrates great platonic love and sisterly devotion to Hermia . Within the cast of the lovers , her role is comparable to Lysander 's . Both are more outwardly romantic and thoughtful than their partners , and both speak those lines most pertinent to the play 's themes of romantic maturity and the source of lasting love . While Lysander says , ' the course of true love ne'er did run smooth ' , Helena 's speech in Act I includes the well - known quote : `` Love looks not with the eyes , but with the mind ; And therefore is wing 'd Cupid painted blind . '' Her name is reminiscent of Helen of Troy , a reference made by Theseus towards the play 's end , and her character is similar to another of Shakespeare 's Helenas in All 's Well That Ends Well . Helena 's character was portrayed in movies by famous actresses like Jean Muir in Max Reinhardt 's and William Dieterle 's 1935 version , by Vanessa Redgrave in Peter Hall 's 1959 TV movie , by Diana Rigg in Hall 's second adaptation in 1968 , by Claude Jade in Jean - Christophe Averty 's famous 1969 French adaptation and by Calista Flockhart in the 1999 film directed by Michael Hoffman .

The grey granite shaft was erected by surviving members of the Rough Riders and their friends and supporters . Although Arlington National Cemetery , a number of secondary sources , and even the bronze plaque on the memorial say the monument was dedicated in 1906 and one source says 1905 , contemporary newspaper accounts show the memorial was dedicated on April 12 , 1907 .

Cuba had been waging a war of independence against Spain since 1895 , an effort largely supported by the United States , which had extensive economic interests on the island . To ensure the safety of American citizens and property in Cuba , the United States sent the battleship USS Maine ( ACR - 1 ) to Havana in late January 1898 . The Maine exploded and was destroyed with large loss of life on February 15 , and Spain and the U.S. declared war on each other on April 25 . With only 25,000 men in the United States Army but more than 100,000 needed to prosecute the war , Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt convinced Secretary of War Russell A. Alger that he could raise an all - volunteer force of 1,000 men and form a cavalry regiment . Alger offered Roosevelt a commission in the Army as a full colonel in command of a regular regiment , but Roosevelt declined . Alger agreed to Roosevelt 's volunteer scheme , and Roosevelt resigned his post on May 6 , 1898 . Roosevelt was commissioned a lieutenant colonel of volunteers and declined command of the regiment ( due to his military inexperience ) in favor of his friend , Colonel Leonard Wood . Although formally named the `` 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry '' , the press nicknamed the regiment the `` Rough Riders '' because most of the men were cowboys , frontiersmen , railroad workers , Native Americans , and similar `` rough '' people from the West . The 1,060 Rough Riders departed their training camp in San Antonio , Texas , on May 29 , and arrived in Santiago de Cuba , Cuba , on June 19 . They participated in the Battle of Las Guasimas on June 24 , during which they successfully turned the right flank of a retreating Spanish Army force with superior weapons and more men . On July 1 , the regiment participated in the Battle of San Juan Hill , during which it successfully charged Kettle Hill ( the famous `` charge up San Juan Hill '' ) and dislodged another Spanish force with superior firepower . The first Rough Rider memorials ( edit ) The memorial to the Rough Riders at San Juan Hill near the old Spanish Army blockhouse in 1910 . Two memorials to the Rough Riders were erected in Cuba shortly after the Spanish -- American War ended . One , erected by Brigadier General Wood out of general funds provided for Cuba 's military occupation , was erected next to the Spanish Army blockhouse atop San Juan Hill . This memorial stood on a square concrete base , on the four corners of which were placed artillery shells . A square plinth with sunk , blank panels on all four sides stood on the base . On the plinth rose a tapered square column with a flat top . Sunk into the face of this column was a bronze plaque , which read : `` In memory of the officers and men of the United States army , who were killed in the assault and capture of this ridge , July 1 , 1898 , and in the siege of Santiago , July 1 to July 16 , 1898 . War between Spain and the United States . '' A second memorial , specific to the Rough Riders , was erected at Las Guasimas . The provenance of this memorial is not clear . It was shaped much like the one at San Juan Hill although the building materials were much different . This monument was set on a flagstone base . Rough - hewn pieces of dark grey granite were cemented together to form a rectangular plinth ( square in cross-section ) atop the flagstones . A tapered square column , made of the same rough - hewn , cemented granite , rose to a flat top . An artillery shell was placed atop the column , and a bronze plaque affixed to its face . The plaque read : `` In Memory / Of the men of / The First and Tenth United States Cavalry , / Young 's Brigade / Wheeler 's Division , / Who Were Killed in the / Battle of Las Guásimas / June 24th 1898 . '' Creating the Rough Rider memorial ( edit ) It is not clear who first proposed a Rough Rider Memorial , or when the idea was first raised . A Rough Riders National Monument Society was organized on June 15 , 1906 . Lillian Capron , wife of Captain Allyn K. Capron , Jr. ( the Rough Riders ' first officer to be killed in action ) , was elected president and treasurer . Eldridge E. Jordan , a prominent businessman , was elected vice president . The other members of the board of directors included Charles E. Hunter , an Oklahoma Republican politician and clerk of the Oklahoma Federal District Court ; William Henry Harrison Llewellyn , a New Mexico Territory Republican politician and United States Attorney ; Captain James R. Church , M.D. , U.S. Army ; and the Reverend Henry A. Brown , U.S. Army . All the men were former Rough Riders . Rev. Brown had served as the regimental chaplain . The society also established a memorial committee . Its members included Capron , Jordan , and the rest of the society 's board of directors . Additional members included Maude Wildrey Towne , wife of former Representative Charles A. Towne , and John Doyle Carmody , a prominent D.C. attorney . It is unclear exactly when approval to erect the Rough Rider Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery was given . The U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps had control of Arlington National Cemetery at the time . The erection of a monument would have required the permission of either Brigadier General Charles F. Humphrey , Sr. , the Quartermaster General , or Secretary of War William Howard Taft . But no record of such permission exists . Theodore Roosevelt was sworn in as President of the United States on September 14 , 1901 , after the death of President William McKinley . Taft was one of Roosevelt 's closest friends . Approval was very unlikely to be denied , and was probably given some time in May or early June 1906 . The first fundraiser for the memorial was announced June 10 , 1906 -- five days before the society was formally organized . The Rough Rider Memorial was designed by Mrs. Capron , who decided to model the monument on the Rough Riders shaft erected by General Wood in Cuba . The bronze tablet on the memorial 's face was designed by Major J.T. Knight and Major S.L. Fairson , Army officers assigned to the Quartermaster General 's office in Washington , D.C. A fundraising campaign was undertaken to pay for the memorial . On June 10 , 1906 . Mrs. Capron had organized a party to raise money for a monument . During the event , a saber was raffled off , various donated items sold , and the United States Marine Band gave a two - hour concert . President Theodore Roosevelt donated a large number of American Beauty roses from the White House Rose Garden . Another fund - raiser was held on February 8 , 1907 , when members of the 13th Cavalry and the 4th Battery , U.S. Light Field Artillery , put on a display of horsemanship at Fort Myer , adjacent to Arlington National Cemetery . President Roosevelt and most of Washington society were expected to attend . The event drew a large crowd and raised a significant amount of money . Construction ( edit ) The Rough Riders Memorial was created from grey granite quarried in Barre , Vermont . The stone arrived at Arlington National Cemetery by February 6 , 1907 . The tablet included the Rough Riders insignia at the top and the plaque 's tentative language read : `` In memory of the deceased members of the First United States Volunteer Cavalry , Spanish -- American War . Erected by the members and friends of the regiment . '' The foundation for the memorial was laid on March 27 , 1907 . Present for this event were Mrs. Capron , Mrs. Towne , and Mr. Carmody . A time capsule in the form of a bronze box was placed beneath the monument . Included in the capsule were copies of each daily newspaper in Washington , D.C. ; an American flag ; and one of each American silver coin in circulation , and a copy of Theodore Roosevelt 's book , The Rough Riders in Cuba , autographed by President Roosevelt , the Reverend Doctor Denis J. Stafford , rector of St. Patrick 's Catholic Church of Washington , D.C. , Presidential Secretary William Loeb , Jr. , and members of the memorial committee . Dedication ( edit ) North panel of the memorial , showing names of the dead . The unveiling and dedication ceremony for the Rough Riders Memorial was at 4 : 30 P.M. on April 12 , 1907 . The Rough Riders Monument Society formed a committee to plan the event , and Major General George H. Harries assisted with the planning and acted as master of ceremonies . In attendance were three batteries from the U.S. Light Field Artillery , a squad of mounted soldiers from the 13th Cavalry , three companies of the District of Columbia Army National Guard , and part of a company of the D.C. Naval National Guard . Music was provided by the 13th Cavalry Band ; the Engineers ' Band from the Washington Navy Yard ; and the Brigade Band of the District of Columbia National Guard . At the time , seven Rough Riders were buried in the far western edge of what is now Section 22 ( along McPherson Avenue ) . These graves were strewn with yellow and white flowers , the colors of the regiment . A 21 - gun salute by the artillery welcomed President Roosevelt , who was accompanied by Lieutenant General S.B.M. Young ( the recently retired Chief of Staff of the United States Army ) and Major General Frank McCoy ( his military aide ) . Each band played a musical selection , and Rev. Henry A. Brown provided the invocation . The crowd sang Nearer , My God , to Thee and then Mrs. Capron unveiled the memorial as the bands played The Star Spangled Banner . President Roosevelt spoke at length about patriotism and duty , and then the Rev. Dr. Stafford provided an oration on virtue . After several more musical pieces by the bands , Rev. Brown gave the benediction . Taps was played by a bugler , and another 21 - gun salute closed the ceremony . Those attending included all Cabinet officers ; Lieutenant General Adna Chaffee , the incumbent Army Chief of Staff ; Secretary of the Navy Victor H. Metcalf ; Major General George F. Elliott , Commandant of the Marine Corps ; Rear Admiral William S. Cowles ; Presidential secretary Loeb ; Brigadier General J. Franklin Bell ; Assistant Secretary of War Robert Shaw Oliver ; Assistant Secretary of the Navy Truman Newberry ; the Commissioners of the District of Columbia ; and the commanding general of the D.C. National Guard . Many former Rough Riders were also present , as well as representatives of the Spanish War Veterans , Army and Navy Union , Grand Army of the Republic , Society of the Army of the Tennessee , Oldest Inhabitants of the District of Columbia , United Confederate Veterans , Daughters of the American Revolution , George Washington Memorial Association , Sons of the Revolution , Union Veteran Legion , Loyal Legion , and Washington National Monument Society . Foreign dignitaries present included Jean Jules Jusserand , French ambassador to the United States ; Baron Rosen , Imperial Russian ambassador to the United States ; ambassadors from Brazil , Denmark , Japan , Norway , Panama , Thailand , and the United Kingdom ; and the military attachés from the Embassy of Germany and Embassy of Japan . About the memorial ( edit ) The Rough Riders Memorial is constructed of a grey granite block 14 feet ( 4.3 m ) tall and quarried near Barre , Vermont . In design , it is very similar to the Rough Rider monument erected at Las Guasimas in Cuba . The obelisk - like memorial is rough - hewn everywhere , except for the panels on the north , south , and east faces where the names of the dead are carved . Near the top of the front ( western face ) of the memorial is a smooth bar of granite , on which the words `` ROUGH RIDERS ' '' is carved in bas - relief . Below this is a rectangular dark bronze plaque whose edges are ornamented with laurel leaves ( a symbol of victory ) . At the top of the plaque is a bar which bears the name of the regiment ( `` 1st . U.S. Vol . Cav . '' ) . Below that are outspread wings , over which two sabres are crossed . Appearing to hang from the sabres is the regimental insignia . An `` RR '' ( for Rough Riders `` ) is inscribed on the insignia , and the name of the three major battles in which the unit fought ( Las Guasimas , San Juan Hill , Santiago ) ring the emblem . The text on tablet reads : In memory of The deceased members of the 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry , Spanish -- American War Erected by the members and friends of the regiment . 1906 . At the time of its unveiling , the names of more than 100 men had been cut into it . The total cost of the Rough Riders Memorial was $2,500 ( $65,661 in 2017 dollars ) . The Rough Rider Monument Society planned to have the names of members of the regiment inscribed on the monument as they died , and established a self - sustaining fund to pay for this . The raising of money for the inscription fund continued long after the memorial 's dedication . The monument society owed more than $1,000 ( $26,264 in 2017 dollars ) for construction of the memorial . Another display of military horsemanship by the 13th Cavalry and 4th Field Artillery Battery occurred in December 1907 . President Roosevelt donated $100 ( $2,724 in 2017 dollars ) at the event to help dissipate the debt . Another memorial fund - raiser , also attended by President Roosevelt , was held in April 1908 . At the funeral of General Leonard Wood in August 1927 , the approximately 400 living Rough Riders gathered for an informal reunion at Arlington National Cemetery . For many , it was the first time they had seen the Rough Riders Memorial . The memorial 's bronze tablet and inscriptions were cleaned and conserved in the early 2000s by Gordon Ponsford , a restorer who also worked on the cemetery 's McClellan Gate and Confederate Memorial . Dedication date ( edit ) The Rough Riders Memorial in 1912 . Incorrect information about the date of the Rough Rider Memorial 's dedication is common . This may be because the bronze plaque on the front of the memorial says 1906 . Arlington National Cemetery and a number of secondary sources ( largely written by historians of the cemetery ) claim the monument was dedicated in 1906 . One source even claims it was erected in 1905 . Contemporary newspaper accounts are clear that the memorial was dedicated on April 12 , 1907 . President Roosevelt 's own published collection of major speeches notes that the date of dedication was April 12 , 1907 . Other historians note that the Rough Rider Memorial in Prescott , Arizona , was dedicated the same year ( 1907 ) as the Rough Riders Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery . The Washington Post reported on March 28 , 1907 , that the memorial 's bronze tablet said `` 1906 '' . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : `` Rough Riders Memorial . '' Monuments and Memorials .

'' The military and financial alliance with France in 1778 , which brought in Spain and the Netherlands to fight the British , turned the American Revolutionary War into a world war in which the British naval and military supremacy was neutralized . The diplomats -- especially Franklin , Adams and Jefferson -- secured recognition of American independence and large loans to the new national government . The Treaty of Paris in 1783 was highly favorable to the United States which now could expand westward to the Mississippi River . Historian Samuel Flagg Bemis was a leading expert on diplomatic history . According to Jerold Combs : Bemis 's The Diplomacy of the American Revolution , published originally in 1935 , is still the standard work on the subject . It emphasized the danger of American entanglement in European quarrels . European diplomacy in the eighteenth century was `` rotten , corrupt , and perfidious , '' warned Bemis . America 's diplomatic success had resulted from staying clear of European politics while reaping advantage from European strife . Franklin , Jay , and Adams had done just this during the Revolution and as a consequence had won the greatest victory in the annals of American diplomacy . Bemis conceded that the French alliance had been necessary to win the war . Yet he regretted that it had brought involvement with `` the baleful realm of European diplomacy . '' Vergennes ( the French foreign minister ) was quite willing to lead America to an `` abattoir '' ( slaughterhouse ) where portions of the United States might be dismembered if this would advance the interests of France . American foreign affairs from independence in 1776 to the new Constitution in 1789 were handled under the Articles of Confederation directly by Congress until the new government created a department of foreign affairs and the office of secretary for foreign affairs on January 10 , 1781 . The Jay Treaty of 1795 aligned the U.S. more with Britain and less with France , leading to political polarization at home Early national era : 1789 -- 1800 ( edit ) The cabinet - level Department of Foreign Affairs was created in 1789 by the First Congress . It was soon renamed the Department of State and changed the title of secretary for foreign affairs to Secretary of State ; Thomas Jefferson returned from France to take the position . When the French Revolution led to war in 1793 between Britain ( America 's leading trading partner ) , and France ( the old ally , with a treaty still in effect ) , Washington and his cabinet decided on a policy of neutrality . In 1795 Washington supported the Jay Treaty , designed by Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton to avoid war with Britain and encourage commerce . The Jeffersonians vehemently opposed the treaty , but Washington 's support proved decisive , and the U.S. and Britain were on friendly terms for a decade . However the foreign policy dispute polarized parties at home , leading to the First Party System . In a `` Farewell Message '' that became a foundation of policy President George Washington in 1796 counseled against foreign entanglements : Europe has a set of primary interests , which to us have none , or a very remote relation . Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies , the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns . Hence therefore it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves , by artificial ties , in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics , or the ordinary combinations & collisions of her friendships , or enmities . Our detached & distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course . By 1797 the French were openly seizing American ships , leading to an undeclared war known as the Quasi-War of 1798 -- 99 . President John Adams tried diplomacy ; it failed . In 1798 , the French demanded American diplomats pay huge bribes in order to see the French Foreign Minister Talleyrand , which the Americans rejected . The Jeffersonian Republicans , suspicious of Adams , demanded the documentation , which Adams released using X , Y and Z as codes for the names of the French diplomats . The XYZ Affair ignited a wave of nationalist sentiment . Overwhelmed , the U.S. Congress approved Adams ' plan to organize the navy . Adams reluctantly signed the Alien and Sedition Acts as a wartime measure . Adams broke with the Hamiltonian wing of his Federalist Party and made peace with France in 1800 . Jeffersonian era : 1801 -- 48 ( edit ) Thomas Jefferson envisioned America as the force behind a great `` Empire of Liberty '' , that would promote republicanism and counter the imperialism of the British Empire . The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 , made by Jefferson in a $15 million deal with Napoleon Bonaparte , doubled the size of the growing nation by adding a huge swath of territory west of the Mississippi River , opening up millions of new farm sites for the yeomen farmers idealized by Jeffersonian Democracy . President Jefferson in the Embargo Act of 1807 forbid trade with both France and Britain , but his policy , largely seen as partisan in favor of agrarian interests instead of commercial interests , was highly unpopular in New England and ineffective in stopping bad treatment from British warships . War of 1812 ( edit ) Main article : Origins of the War of 1812 The USS Constitution surprised analysts with an important victory over the HMS Guerriere in 1812 . The Jeffersonians deeply distrusted the British in the first place , but the British shut down most American trade with France , and impressed into the Royal Navy about 6000 sailors on American ships who claimed American citizenship . American honor was humiliated by the British attack on the American warship the Chesapeake in 1807 . In the west , Indians supported by Britain ( but not under their control ) used ambushes and raids to kill settlers , thus delaying the expansion of frontier settlements into the Midwest ( Ohio , Indiana , and Michigan , especially ) . In 1812 diplomacy had broken down and the U.S. declared war on Britain . The War of 1812 was marked by very bad planning and military fiascoes on both sides . It ended with the Treaty of Ghent in 1815 . Militarily it was a stalemate as both sides failed in their invasion attempts , but the Royal Navy blockaded the coastline and shut down American trade ( except for smuggling supplies into British Canada ) . However the British achieved their main goal of defeating Napoleon , while the American armies defeated the Indian alliance that the British had supported , ending the British war goal of establishing a pro-British Indian boundary nation in the Midwest . The British stopped impressing American sailors and trade with France ( now an ally of Britain ) resumed , so the causes of the war had been cleared away . Especially after the great American victory at the Battle of New Orleans , Americans felt proud and triumphant for having won their `` second war of independence . '' Successful generals Andrew Jackson and William Henry Harrison became political heroes as well . After 1815 tensions de-escalated along the U.S. - Canada border , with peaceful trade and generally good relations . Boundary disputes were settled amicably . Both the U.S. and Canada saw a surge in nationalism and national pride after 1815 , with the U.S. moving toward greater democracy and the British postponing democracy in Canada . After 1780 The United States opened relations with North African countries , and with the Ottoman Empire . Latin America ( edit ) In response to the new independence of Spanish colonies in Latin America in the early 19th century , the United States established the Monroe Doctrine in 1823 . This policy declared opposition to European interference in the Americas and left a lasting imprint on the psyche of later American leaders . The failure of Spain to colonize or police Florida led to its purchase by the U.S. in 1821 . John Quincy Adams was the leading American diplomat of the era . In 1846 after an intense political debate in which the expansionist Democrats prevailed over the Whigs , the U.S. annexed the Republic of Texas . Mexico never recognized that Texas had achieved independence and promised war should the U.S. annex it . President James K. Polk peacefully resolved a border dispute with Britain regarding Oregon , then sent U.S. Army patrols into the disputed area of Texas . That triggered the Mexican -- American War , which the Americans won easily . As a result of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848 the U.S. acquired territory that included California , Arizona and New Mexico , and the Hispanic residents there were given full U.S. citizenship . Civil war ( edit ) See also : United Kingdom and the American Civil War and France and the American Civil War Every nation was officially neutral throughout the American Civil War , and none recognized the Confederacy . That marked a major diplomatic achievement for Secretary Seward and the Lincoln Administration . France , under Napoleon III , had invaded Mexico and installed a puppet regime ; it hoped to negate American influence . France therefore encouraged Britain in a policy of mediation suggesting that both would recognize the Confederacy . Lincoln repeatedly warned that meant war . The British textile industry depended on cotton from the South , but it had stocks to keep the mills operating for a year and in any case the industrialists and workers carried little weight in British politics . Knowing a war would cut off vital shipments of American food , wreak havoc on the British merchant fleet , and cause the immediate loss of Canada , Britain , with its powerful Royal Navy , refused to go along with French schemes . Lincoln 's foreign policy was deficient in 1861 in terms of appealing to European public opinion . Diplomats had to explain that United States was not committed to the ending of slavery , but instead they repeated legalistic arguments about the unconstitutionality of secession . Confederate spokesman , on the other hand , were much more successful by ignoring slavery and instead focusing on their struggle for liberty , their commitment to free trade , and the essential role of cotton in the European economy . In addition , the European aristocracy ( the dominant factor in every major country ) was `` absolutely gleeful in pronouncing the and American debacle as proof that the entire experiment in popular government had failed . European government leaders welcomed the fragmentation of the ascendant American Republic . '' Elite opinion in Britain tended to favor the Confederacy , while public opinion tended to favor the United States . Large scale trade continued in both directions with the United States , with the Americans shipping grain to Britain while Britain sent manufactured items and munitions . Immigration continued into the United States . British trade with the Confederacy was limited , with a trickle of cotton going to Britain and some munitions slipped in by numerous small blockade runners . The Confederate strategy for securing independence was largely based on the hope of military intervention by Britain and France , but Confederate diplomacy proved inept . With the announcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in September 1862 , it became a war against slavery that most British supported . A serious diplomatic dispute with the United States erupted over the `` Trent Affair '' in late 1861 . Public opinion in the Union called for war against Britain , but Lincoln gave in and sent back the diplomats his Navy had illegally seized . British financiers built and operated most of the blockade runners , spending hundreds of millions of pounds on them ; but that was legal and not the cause of serious tension . They were staffed by sailors and officers on leave from the Royal Navy . When the U.S. Navy captured one of the fast blockade runners , it sold the ship and cargo as prize money for the American sailors , then released the crew . A long - term issue was the British shipyard ( John Laird and Sons ) building two warships for the Confederacy , including the CSS Alabama , over vehement protests from the United States . The controversy was resolved after the Civil War in the form of the Alabama Claims , in which the United States finally was given $15.5 million in arbitration by an international tribunal for damages caused by British - built warships . In the end , these instances of British involvement neither shifted the outcome of the war nor provoked either side into war . The U.S. diplomatic mission headed by Minister Charles Francis Adams , Sr. proved much more successful than the Confederate missions , which were never officially recognized . Historian Don Doyle has argued that the Union victory had a major impact on the course of world history . The Union victory energized popular democratic forces . A Confederate victory , on the other hand , would have meant a new birth of slavery , not freedom . Historian Fergus Bordewich , following Doyle , argues that : The North 's victory decisively proved the durability of democratic government . Confederate independence , on the other hand , would have established An American model for reactionary politics and race - based repression that would likely have cast an international shadow into the twentieth century and perhaps beyond . '' Postwar adjustments ( edit ) Relations with Britain ( and Canada ) were tense ; Canada was negligent in allowing Confederates to raid Vermont . Confederation came in 1867 , in part as a way to meet the American challenge without depending on British armed forces . The U.S. looked the other way when Irish activists known as Fenians tried and failed badly in an invasion of Canada in 1871 . The arbitration of the Alabama Claims in 1872 provided a satisfactory reconciliation ; The British paid the United States $15.5 million for the economic damage caused by Confederate warships purchased from it . Congress did pay Russia for the Alaska Purchase in 1867 , but otherwise rejected proposals for any major expansions , such as the proposal by President Ulysses Grant to acquire Santo Domingo . James G. Blaine ( edit ) James G. Blaine , a leading Republican ( and its losing candidate for president in 1884 ) was a highly innovative Secretary of State in the 1880s . By 1881 , Blaine had completely abandoned his high - tariff Protectionism and used his position as Secretary of State to promote freer trade , especially within the Western Hemisphere . His reasons were twofold : firstly , Blaine 's wariness of British interference in the Americas was undiminished , and he saw increased trade with Latin America as the best way to keep Britain from dominating the region . Secondly , he believed that by encouraging exports , he could increase American prosperity . President Garfield agreed with his Secretary of State 's vision and Blaine called for a Pan-American conference in 1882 to mediate disputes among the Latin American nations and to serve as a forum for talks on increasing trade . At the same time , Blaine hoped to negotiate a peace in the War of the Pacific then being fought by Bolivia , Chile , and Peru . Blaine sought to expand American influence in other areas , calling for renegotiation of the Clayton -- Bulwer Treaty to allow the United States to construct a canal through Panama without British involvement , as well as attempting to reduce British involvement in the strategically located Kingdom of Hawaii . His plans for the United States ' involvement in the world stretched even beyond the Western Hemisphere , as he sought commercial treaties with Korea and Madagascar . By 1882 , however , a new Secretary was reversing Blaine 's Latin American initiatives . Serving again as Secretary of State under Benjamin Harrison , Blaine worked for closer ties with the Kingdom of Hawaii , and sponsored a program to bring together all the independent nations of the Western Hemisphere in what became the Pan-American Union . 1893 -- 1914 ( edit ) Before 1892 senior diplomats from the United States to other countries , and from them to the U.S. , were called `` ministers . '' In 1892 four major European countries ( Britain , France , Germany Italy ) raise title of their chief diplomat to the US to `` ambassador '' ; the US reciprocated in 1893 . Looking outward ( edit ) While European powers , and Japan , engaged in a intense scramble for colonial possessions in Africa and Asia , the United States stood aloof . This all changed 1893 to 1900 , with the result of American ownership of Hawaii , Puerto Rico , and the Philippines , and a dominant role temporarily in Cuba . By the early 1880s , the United States had a small army stationed at scattered Western forts , and an old fashioned wooden navy . By 1890 the U.S. began investment in new naval technology including steam - powered battleships with powerful armaments and steel decking . In 1893 the business community in Kingdom of Hawaii overthrew the Queen and sought annexation by President Harrison , who forwarded the proposal to the Senate for approval . But the newly elected President Cleveland withdrew the proposed annexation ; Hawaii formed an independent Republic of Hawaii . Unexpectedly foreign - policy became a central concern of American politics . Historian Henry Graff says that at first , `` Public opinion at home seemed to indicate acquiescence ... '' Unmistakably , the sentiment at home was maturing with immense force for the United States to join the great powers of the world in a quest for overseas colonies . '' President Grover Cleveland , on taking office in March 1893 , rescinded the annexation proposal . His biographer Alyn Brodsky argues he was deeply adverse to an immoral action against the little kingdom : Just as he stood up for the Samoan Islands against Germany because he opposed the conquest of a lesser state by a greater one , so did he stand up for the Hawaiian Islands against his own nation . He could have let the annexation of Hawaii move inexorably to its inevitable culmination . But he opted for confrontation , which he hated , as it was to him the only way a weak and defenseless people might retain their independence . It was not the idea of annexation that Grover Cleveland opposed , but the idea of annexation as a pretext for illicit territorial acquisition . Cleveland had to mobilize support from Southern Democrats to fight the treaty . He sent former Georgia Congressman James H. Blount as a special representative to Hawaii to investigate and provide a solution . Blount was well known for his opposition to imperialism . Blount was also a leader in the white supremacy movement that in the 1890s was ending the right to vote by southern Blacks ... Some observers speculated he would support annexation on grounds of the inability of the Asiatics to govern themselves . Instead , Blount opposed imperialism , and called for the US military to restore of Queen Liliuokalani . He argued that the Hawaii natives should be allowed to continue their `` Asiatic ways . '' A vigorous nationwide anti-expansionist movement , organized as the American Anti-Imperialist League , emerged that listened to Cleveland and Carl Schurz , as well as Democratic leader William Jennings Bryan , industrialist Andrew Carnegie , author Mark Twain and sociologist William Graham Sumner , and many prominent intellectuals and politicians who came of age in the Civil War . The anti-imperialists opposed expansion , believing that imperialism violated the fundamental principle that just republican government must derive from `` consent of the governed . '' The League argued that such activity would necessitate the abandonment of American ideals of self - government and non-intervention -- ideals expressed in the Declaration of Independence , George Washington 's Farewell Address and Lincoln 's Gettysburg Address . However , the Antis could not stop the even more energetic forces of imperialism . They were led by Secretary of State John Hay , naval strategist Alfred T. Mahan , Republican congressman Henry Cabot Lodge , Secretary of War Elihu Root , and young politician Theodore Roosevelt . These expansionist had vigorous support from newspaper publishers William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer , whipping up popular excitement . Mahan and Roosevelt designed a global strategy calling for a competitive modern navy , Pacific bases , an isthmian canal through Nicaragua or Panama , and , above all , an assertive role for America as the largest industrial power . President McKinley 's position was that Hawaii could never survive on its own . It would quickly be gobbled up by Japan -- already a fourth of the islands ' population was Japanese . Japan would then dominate the Pacific and undermine American hopes for large - scale trade with Asia . While the Democrats could block a treaty in the benate By denying it a two thirds majority , McKinley annexed Hawaii through a joint resolution , which required only a majority vote in each house . Hawaii became a territory in 1898 with full U.S. citizenship for its residents . It became the 50th state in 1959 . Cuba and Spain ( edit ) Editorial cartoon intervention in Cuba . Columbia ( the American people ) reaches out to help oppressed Cuba in 1897 while Uncle Sam ( the U.S. government ) is blind to the crisis and will not use its powerful guns to help . Judge magazine , February 6 , 1897 . In the mid 1890s American public opinion denounced the Spanish repression of the Cuban independence movement as brutal and unacceptable . The U.S. increased pressure and was dissatisfied with Spanish responses . When the American battleship the USS Maine exploded for undetermined reasons in the harbor of Havana , Cuba , on 15 February 1898 , the issue became overwhelming and McKinley could not resist the demands for immediate action . Most Democrats and many Republicans demanded war to liberate Cuba . Almost simultaneously the two countries declared war . ( Every other country was neutral . ) The U.S. easily won the one - sided four - month - long Spanish -- American War from April through July . In the peace treaty of Paris the U.S. and took over the last remnants of the Spanish Empire , notably Cuba , Puerto Rico , the Philippines and Guam . It marked America 's transition from a regional to a global power . Cuba was given independence under American supervision . However the permanent status of the Philippines became a heated political topic . Democrats , led by William Jennings Bryan , had strongly supported the war but not strongly opposed annexation . McKinley was reelected and annexation was decided . The U.S. Navy emerged as a major naval power thanks to modernization programs begun in the 1880s and adopted the sea power theories of Captain Alfred Thayer Mahan . The Army remained small but was reorganized in the Roosevelt Administration along modern lines and no longer focused on scattered forts in the West . The Philippine -- American War was a short operation to suppress insurgents and ensure U.S. control of the islands ; by 1907 , however , interest in the Philippines as an entry to Asia faded in favor of the Panama Canal , and American foreign policy centered on the Caribbean . The 1904 Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine , which proclaimed a right for the United States to intervene to stabilize weak states in the Americas , further weakened European influence in Latin America and further established U.S. regional hegemony . The outbreak of the Mexican Revolution in 1910 ended a half century of peaceful borders and brought escalating tensions , as revolutionaries threatened American business interests and hundreds of thousands of refugees fled north . President Woodrow Wilson tried using military intervention to stabilize Mexico but that failed . After Mexico in 1917 rejected Germany 's invitation in the Zimmermann Telegram to join in war against the U.S. , relations stabilized and there were no more interventions in Mexico . Military interventions did occur in other small countries like Nicaragua , but were ended by the Good Neighbor policy announced by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933 , which allowed for American recognition of and friendship with dictatorships . World war I : 1914 -- 19 ( edit ) From neutrality to war to end all wars : 1914 -- 1917 ( edit ) American foreign policy was largely determined by President Woodrow Wilson , who had shown little interest in foreign affairs before entering the White House in 1913 . His chief advisor was `` Colonel '' Edward House , who was sent on many top - level missions . With the outbreak of war in 1914 , the United States declared neutrality and worked to broker a peace . It insisted on its neutral rights , which included allowing private corporations and banks to sell or loan money to either side . With the British blockade , there were almost no sales or loans to Germany , only to the Allies . The widely publicized German atrocities in Germany Shocked American public opinion . Neutrality was supported by Irish - Americans , who hated Britain , by German Americans who wanted to remain neutral , and by women and the churches . It was supported by the more educated upscale WASP element , led by Theodore Roosevelt . Wilson insisted on neutrality , denouncing both British and German violations , especially those German violations in which American civilians were killed . The German U-boat torpedoed the RMS Lusitania in 1915 . It sank in 20 minutes , killing 128 American civilians and over 1,000 Britons . It was against the laws of war to sink any passenger ship without allowing the passengers to reach the life boats . American opinion turned strongly against Germany as a bloodthirsty threat to civilization . Germany apologized and repeatedly promised to stop attacks by its U-boats , but reversed course in early 1917 when it saw the opportunity to strangle Britain by unrestricted submarine warfare . It also made overtures to Mexico , in the Zimmermann Telegram , hoping to divert American military attention to south of the border . The German decision was not made or approved by the civilian government in Berlin , but by the military commanders and the Kaiser . They realized it meant war with the United States , but hoped to weaken the British by cutting off its imports , and strike a winning below with German soldiers transferred from the Eastern front , where Russia had surrendered . Following the repeated sinking of American merchant ships in early 1917 , Wilson asked and obtained a declaration of war in April 1917 . He neutralized the antiwar element by arguing this was a war With the main goal of ending aggressive militarism and indeed ending all wars . During the war the U.S. was not officially tied to the Allies by treaty , but military cooperation meant that the American contribution became significant in mid-1918 . After the failure of the German spring offensive , as fresh American troops arrived in France at 10,000 a day , the Germans were in a hopeless position , and surrendered . Coupled with Wilson 's Fourteen Points in January 1918 , the U.S. now had the initiative on the military , diplomatic and public relations fronts . Wilsonianism -- Wilson 's ideals -- had become the hope of the world , including the civilian population Germany itself . Winning the war and fighting for peace ( edit ) British prime minister Lloyd George , Italy 's Vittorio Emanuele Orlando , France 's Georges Clemenceau , and Wilson at the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 . At the peace conference at Versailles , Wilson tried with mixed success to enact his Fourteen Points . He was forced to accept British , French and Italian demands for financial revenge : Germany would be made to pay reparations that amounted to the total cost of the war for the Allies and admit guilt in humiliating fashion . It was a humiliating punishment for Germany which subsequent commentators thought was too harsh and unfair . Wilson succeeded in obtaining his main goal , a League of Nations that would hopefully resolve all future conflicts before they caused another major war . Wilson , however , refused to consult with Republicans , who took control of Congress after the 1918 elections and which demanded revisions protecting the right of Congress to declare war . Wilson refused to compromise with the majority party in Congress , or even bring any leading Republican to the peace conference . His personal enemy , Henry Cabot Lodge , now control the Senate . Lodge did support the league of Nations , but wanted provisions that would insist that only Congress could declare war on behalf of the United States . Wilson was largely successful in designing the new League of Nations , declaring it would be : a great charter for a new order of affairs . There is ground here for deep satisfaction , universal reassurance , and confident hope . The League did go into operation , but the United States never joined . With a two - thirds vote needed , the Senate did not ratify either the original Treaty or its Republican version . Washington made separate peace treaties with the different European nations . Nevertheless , Wilson 's idealism and call for self - determination of all nations had an effect on nationalism across the globe , while at home his idealistic vision , called `` Wilsonianism '' of spreading democracy and peace under American auspices had a profound influence on much of American foreign policy ever since . Inter-war years , 1919 - 41 ( edit ) Main articles : International relations ( 1919 -- 1939 ) and Washington Naval Conference In the 1920s , American policy was an active involvement in international affairs , while ignoring the League of Nations , setting up numerous diplomatic ventures , and using the enormous financial power of the United States to dictate major diplomatic questions in Europe . The Republican presidents , Warren Harding , Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover , avoided any political commitments or alliances with anyone else . They minimize contact with the League of Nations . However , as historian Jerald Combs reports their administrations in no way returned to 19th - century isolationism . The key Republican leaders : including Elihu Root , Charles Evans Hughes , and Hoover himself , were Progressives who accepted much of Wilson 's internationalism ... They did seek to use American political influence and economic power to goad European governments to moderate the Versailles peace terms , induce the Europeans to settle their quarrels peacefully , secure disarmament agreements , and strengthen the European capitalist economies to provide prosperity for them and their American trading partners . Naval disarmament ( edit ) The Washington Naval Conference , was the most successful diplomatic venture the 1920s . It was held in Washington , under the Chairmanship of Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes from 12 November 1921 to 6 February 1922 . Conducted outside the auspice of the League of Nations , it was attended by nine nations -- the United States , Japan , China , France , Great Britain , Italy , Belgium , Netherlands , and Portugal Soviet Russia was not invited to the conference . It focused on resolving misunderstandings or conflicts regarding interests in the Pacific Ocean and East Asia . The main achievement was a series of naval disarmament agreements agreed to by all the participants , that lasted for a decade . It resulted in three major treaties : Four - Power Treaty , Five - Power Treaty ( the Washington Naval Treaty ) , the Nine - Power Treaty , and a number of smaller agreements . These treaties preserved peace during the 1920s but Were not renewed , as the world scene turned increasingly negative after 1930 . Dawes plan ( edit ) The Dawes plan was the American solution to the crisis of reparations , in which France was demanding More money than Germany was willing to pay , so France occupied the key industrial Ruhr district of Germany with its army . The Occupation of the Ruhr in 1923 Caused an international crisis ; Germany deliberately hyperinflated currency , making the occupation highly expensive for France . The crisis was solved by a compromise brokered by the United States in the form of the Dawes Plan in 1924 . This plan , sponsored by American Charles G. Dawes , set out a new financial scheme . New York banks loaned Germany hundreds of millions of dollars that it used to pay reparations and rebuild its heavy industry . France , Britain and the other countries used the reparations in turn to repay wartime loans they received from the United States . By 1928 Germany called for a new payment plan , resulting in the Young Plan that established the German reparation requirements at 112 billion marks ( US $26.3 billion ) and created a schedule of payments that would see Germany complete payments by 1988 . With the collapse of the German economy in 1931 , reparations were suspended for a year and in 1932 during the Lausanne Conference they were suspended indefinitely . Between 1919 and 1932 , Germany paid less than 21 billion marks in reparations . After 1953 West Germany paid the entire remaining balance . Mexico ( edit ) Further information : Mexico -- United States relations Since the turmoil of the Mexican revolution had died down , the Harding administration was prepared to normalize relations with Mexico . Between 1911 and 1920 American imports from Mexico increased from $57,000,000 to $179,000,000 and exports from $61,000,000 to $208,000,000 . Commerce Secretary Herbert Hoover took the lead in order to promote trade and investments other than in oil and land , which had long dominated bilateral economic ties . President Álvaro Obregón assured Americans that they would be protected in Mexico , and Mexico was granted recognition in 1923 . A major crisis erupted in the mid-1930s when the Mexican government expropriated millions of acres of land from hundreds of American property owners as part of President Lázaro Cárdenas 's land redistribution program . No compensation was provided to the American owners . The emerging threat of the Second World War forced the United States to agree to a compromise solution . The US negotiated an agreement with President Manuel Avila Camacho that amounted to a military alliance . Intervention ends in Latin America ( edit ) Small - scale military interventions continued after 1921 as the Banana Wars tapered off . The Hoover administration began a goodwill policy and withdrew all military forces . President Roosevelt announced the `` Good Neighbor Policy '' by which the United States would no longer intervene to promote good government , but would accept whatever governments were locally chosen . His Secretary of State Cordell Hull endorsed article 8 of the 1933 Montevideo Convention on Rights and Duties of States ; it provides that `` no state has the right to intervene in the internal or external affairs of another '' . Isolationism in 1930s ( edit ) In the 1930s , the United States entered the period of deep isolationism , rejecting international conferences , and focusing moment mostly on reciprocal tariff agreements with smaller countries of Latin America . Spanish Civil war : 1936 - 1939 ( edit ) When the Spanish Civil War erupted in 1936 , the United States remained neutral and banned arms sales to either side . This was in line with both American neutrality policies , and with a Europe - wide agreement to not sell arms for use in the Spanish war lest it escalate into a world war . Congress endorsed the embargo by a near - unanimous vote . Only armaments were embargoed ; American companies could sell oil and supplies to both sides . Roosevelt quietly favored the left - wing Republican ( or `` Loyalist '' ) government , but intense pressure by American Catholics forced him to maintain a policy of neutrality . The Catholics were outraged by the systematic torture , rape and execution of priests , bishops , and nuns by anarchist elements of the Loyalist coalition . This successful pressure on Roosevelt was one of the handful of foreign policy successes notched by Catholic pressures on the White House in the 20th century . Germany and Italy provided munitions , and air support , and troops to the Nationalists , led by Francisco Franco . The Soviet Union provided aid to the Loyalist government , and mobilized thousands of volunteers to fight , including several hundred from the United States in the Abraham Lincoln Battalion . All along the Spanish military forces supported the nationalists , and they steadily pushed the government forces back . By 1938 , however , Roosevelt was planning to secretly send American warplanes through France to the desperate Loyalists . His senior diplomats warned that this would worsen the European crisis , so Roosevelt desisted . Adolf Hitler and Franco mutually disliked one another , and Franco repeatedly manipulated Hitler for his own benefit during World War Two . Franco sheltered Jewish refugees escaping through France and never turned over the Spanish Jews to Nazi Germany as requested , and when during the Second World War the Blue Division was dispatched to help the Germans , it was forbidden to fight against the Allies , and was limited only to fighting the Soviet . Coming of war : 1937 - 41 ( edit ) Main article : Franklin D. Roosevelt § Third term ( 1941 -- 45 ) President Roosevelt tried to avoid repeating what he saw as Woodrow Wilson 's mistakes in World War I. He often made exactly the opposite decision . Wilson called for neutrality in thought and deed , while Roosevelt made it clear his administration strongly favored Britain and China . Unlike the loans in World War I , the United States made large - scale grants of military and economic aid to the Allies through Lend - Lease , with little expectation of repayment . Wilson did not greatly expand war production before the declaration of war ; Roosevelt did . Wilson waited for the declaration to begin a draft ; Roosevelt started one in 1940 . Wilson never made the United States an official ally but Roosevelt did . Wilson never met with the top Allied leaders but Roosevelt did . Wilson proclaimed independent policy , as seen in the 14 Points , while Roosevelt always had a collaborative policy with the Allies . In 1917 , United States declared war on Germany ; in 1941 , Roosevelt waited until the enemy attacked at Pearl Harbor . Wilson refused to collaborate with the Republicans ; Roosevelt named leading Republicans to head the War Department and the Navy Department . Wilson let General John J. Pershing make the major military decisions ; Roosevelt made the major decisions in his war including the `` Europe first '' strategy . He rejected the idea of an armistice and demanded unconditional surrender . Roosevelt often mentioned his role in the Wilson administration , but added that he had profited more from Wilson 's errors than from his successes . Pearl Harbor was unpredictable ( edit ) Main articles : Attack on Pearl Harbor and Pearl Harbor advance - knowledge conspiracy theory Political scientist Roberta Wohlstetter explores why all American intelligence agencies failed to predict the attack on Pearl Harbor . The basic reason was that the Japanese plans were a very closely held secret . The attack fleet kept radio silence and was not spotted by anyone en route to Hawaii . There were air patrols over Hawaii , but they were too few and too ineffective to scan a vast ocean . Japan Navy spread false information -- using fake radio signals -- to indicate the main fleet was in Japanese waters , and suggested their main threat was north toward Russia . The U.S. had MAGIC , which successfully cracked the Japanese diplomatic code . However , the Japanese Foreign Ministry and its diplomats were deliberately never told about the upcoming attack , so American intelligence was wasting its time trying to discover secrets through MAGIC American intelligence expected attacks against British and Dutch possessions , and were looking for those clues . At Pearl Harbor , they focused on predicting local sabotage . There was no overall American intelligence center -- the forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA ) was formed during . In 1941 no one coordinated the masses of information coming in from the Army , Navy , and State department , and from British and Dutch allies . The system of notification was flawed , so the what the sender thought was an urgent message did not appear urgent to the recipient . After the attack , congressional investigators identify and link together all sorts of small little signals pointing to an attack , while they discarded signals pointing in other directions . Even in hindsight there was so much confusion , noise , and poor coordination that Wohlstetter concludes no accurate predictions of the attack on Pearl Harbor was at all likely before December 7 . World war II : 1941 -- 45 ( edit ) Main article : Diplomatic history of World War II The same pattern which emerged with the first world war continued with the second : warring European powers , blockades , official U.S. neutrality but this time President Roosevelt tried to avoid all of Wilson 's mistakes . American policy substantially favored Britain and its allies , and the U.S. getting caught up in the war . Unlike the loans in World War I , the United States made large - scale grants of military and economic aid to the Allies through Lend - Lease . Industries greatly expanded to produce war materials . The United States officially entered World War II against Germany , Japan , and Italy in December 1941 , following the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor . This time the U.S. was a full - fledged member of the Allies of World War II , not just an `` associate '' as in the first war . During the war , the U.S. conducted military operations on both the Atlantic and Pacific fronts . After the war and devastation of its European and Asian rivals , the United States found itself in a uniquely powerful position due to the lack of damage to its domestic industries . Postwar peace ( edit ) After 1945 , the isolationist pattern characterizing the inter-war period had ended for good . It was Franklin Roosevelt policy to establish a new international organization that would be much more effective than the old League of Nations , and avoid its flaws . He successfully sponsored the formation of the United Nations . The major long - term goal of Roosevelt 's foreign policy during the war was creating a United Nations to resolve all world problems The United States was a major force in establishing the United Nations in 1945 , hosting a meeting of fifty nations in San Francisco . Avoiding the rancorous debates of 1919 , where there was no veto , the US and the Soviet Union , as well as Britain , France and China , became permanent members of the Security Council with veto power . The idea of the U.N. was to promote world peace through consensus among nations , with boycotts , sanctions and even military power exercised by the Security Council . It depended on member governments for funds and had difficulty funding its budget . In 2009 , its $5 billion budget was funded using a complex formula based on GDP ; the U.S. contributed 20 % in 2009 . However , the United Nations ' vision of peace soon became jeopardized as the international structure was rebalanced with the development and testing of nuclear weapons by major powers . Cold war : 1947 -- 91 ( edit ) Further information : Cold War , Truman Doctrine , and Reagan Doctrine President Kennedy meeting with Soviet foreign minister Gromyko in 1962 . Kennedy knew about Soviet missiles in Cuba but had not revealed this information yet . The Cuban Missile crisis brought the world close to the brink of World War III but luckily cooler heads prevailed . From the late 1940s until 1991 , world affairs were dominated by the Cold War , in which the U.S. and its allies faced the Soviet Union and its allies . There was no large - scale fighting but instead numerous regional wars as well as the ever - present threat of a catastrophic nuclear war . In 1948 the United States enacted the Marshall Plan , which supplied Western Europe -- including Germany -- with $13 billion USD in reconstruction aid . Staff on vetoed any participation by East European nations . A similar program was operated by the United States to restore the Japanese economy . The U.S. actively sought allies , which it subsidized with military and economic `` foreign aid '' , as well as diplomatic support . Most nations aligned with either the Western or Eastern camp , but after 1960 the Soviets broke with China as the Communist movement worldwide became divided . Some countries , such as India and Yugoslavia , tried to be neutral . Rejecting the rollback of Communism by force because it risked nuclear war , Washington developed a new strategy called containment to oppose the spread of communism . The containment policy was developed by U.S. diplomat George Kennan in 1947 . Kennan characterized the Soviet Union as an aggressive , anti-Western power that necessitated containment , a characterization which would shape US foreign policy for decades to come . The idea of containment was to match Soviet aggression with force wherever it occurred while not using nuclear weapons . The policy of containment created a bipolar , zero - sum world where the ideological conflicts between the Soviet Union and the United States dominated geopolitics . Due to the antagonism on both sides and each countries ' search for security , a tense worldwide contest developed between the two states as the two nations ' governments vied for global supremacy militarily , culturally , and influentially . The Cold War was characterized by a lack of global wars but a persistence of regional proxy wars , often fought between client states and proxies of the United States and Soviet Union . The US also intervened in the affairs of other countries through a number of secret operations . During the Cold War , U.S. foreign policy objectives , seeking to limit Soviet influence , involved the United States and its allies in the Korean War , the Vietnam War , and in the closing stages the policy of aiding anti-Soviet Mujahideen forces in Afghanistan ( Operation Cyclone ) . Diplomatic initiatives included the establishment of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ( NATO ) , the opening of People 's Republic of China and Détente . There were some successes for the U.S. during this period as well as some failures . In the 1980s under a program of extensive military spending led by President Reagan , as well as by diplomatic overtures between Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev , a thaw resulted , which eventually led to the disintegration of the Soviet Union under an intelligent Soviet policy of glasnost . By the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 , the U.S. had military and economic interests in every region of the globe . In March 1992 , the New York Times received leaked parts of a `` Defense Policy Guidance '' document prepared by two principal authors at the U.S. Defense Department , Paul Wolfowitz and I. Lewis Libby . The policy document laid bare the post -- Cold War framework through which U.S. foreign policy would henceforth be guided . Post-cold war : 1992 -- present ( edit ) With the breakup of the Soviet Union into separate nations , and with the re-emergence of the nation of Russia , the world of pro-U.S. and pro-Soviet alliances broke down . Different challenges presented themselves , such as climate change as well as the threat of nuclear terrorism . Regional powerbrokers and dictators such as Saddam Hussein in Iraq challenged the peace with a surprise attack on the small nation of Kuwait in 1991 . President George H.W. Bush organized a coalition of allied and Middle Eastern powers which successfully pushed back the invading forces , but stopped short of invading Iraq and capturing Hussein ; as a result , the dictator was free to rule unchecked for another twelve years . After the Gulf War , many scholars , such as Zbigniew Brzezinski , claimed the lack of a new strategic vision for U.S. foreign policy resulted in many missed opportunities for its foreign policy . During the 1990s , the United States mostly scaled back its foreign policy budget as well as its cold war defense budget which amounted to 6.5 % of GDP while focusing on domestic economic prosperity under President Clinton , who succeeded in achieving a budget surplus for 1999 and 2000 . The United States also served as a peacekeeper in the warring ethnic disputes in the former Yugoslavia by cooperating as a U.N. peacekeeper . A decade of economic prosperity ended with the September 11 , 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City . The surprise attack by terrorists belonging to a militant Al - Qaeda organization prompted a national mourning and paradigm shift in U.S. foreign policy . The focus on domestic prosperity during the 1990s gave way to a trend of unilateral action under President George W. Bush to combat what was seen to be the growing trend of fundamentalist terrorism in the Middle East . The United States declared a War on Terrorism . This policy dominated U.S. foreign policy over the last decade as the nation embarked on two military campaigns in the Middle East , in Afghanistan and Iraq . Although both campaigns attracted international support , particularly the fighting in Afghanistan , the scale and duration of the war has lessened the motivation of American allies . Furthermore , when no WMDs were found after a military conquest of Iraq , there was worldwide skepticism that the war had been fought to prevent terrorism , and the war in Iraq has had serious negative public relations consequences for the image of the United States . The `` Bush Doctrine '' shifted diplomatic and security policy toward maximizing the spread of liberal political institutions and democratic values . The policy has been called `` democratic realism , '' `` national security liberalism , '' `` democratic globalism , '' or `` messianic universalism . '' The policy helped inspire democratic upheavals in the Middle East . German Chancellor Angela Merkel and U.S. President George W. Bush Across the world there was a transition from a bipolar world to a multipolar world . While the United States remains a strong power economically and militarily , rising nations such as China , India , and Brazil as well as Russia have challenged its dominance . Foreign policy analysts such as Nina Harchigian suggest that the six emerging big powers share common concerns : free trade , economic growth , prevention of terrorism , efforts to stymie nuclear proliferation . And if they can avoid war , the coming decades can be peaceful and productive provided there are no misunderstandings or dangerous rivalries . In his first formal television interview as president , Barack Obama addressed the Muslim world through an Arabic - language satellite TV network and expressed a commitment to repair relations that have deteriorated under the previous administration . Still under the Obama administration , American foreign policy has continued to irritate the Muslim world including one of its main allies , Pakistan . But serious problems remain for the U.S. The Mideast continues to fester with religious hatred and Arab resentment of Israel . The U.S. position is that the danger of nuclear proliferation is more evident with nations such as Iran and North Korea openly flouting the international community by insisting on building nuclear weapons . Important issues such as climate change , which require many governments to work together in sometimes tough solutions , present tough diplomatic challenges . An insight into recent thinking inside the State Department was provided in November 2010 and the following months through the Wikileaks United States diplomatic cables release .

Ancient Greek architecture is best known from its temples , many of which are found throughout the region , mostly as ruins but many substantially intact . The second important type of building that survives all over the Hellenic world is the open - air theatre , with the earliest dating from around 525 - 480 BC . Other architectural forms that are still in evidence are the processional gateway ( propylon ) , the public square ( agora ) surrounded by storied colonnade ( stoa ) , the town council building ( bouleuterion ) , the public monument , the monumental tomb ( mausoleum ) and the stadium . Ancient Greek architecture is distinguished by its highly formalised characteristics , both of structure and decoration . This is particularly so in the case of temples where each building appears to have been conceived as a sculptural entity within the landscape , most often raised on high ground so that the elegance of its proportions and the effects of light on its surfaces might be viewed from all angles . Nikolaus Pevsner refers to `` the plastic shape of the ( Greek ) temple ... placed before us with a physical presence more intense , more alive than that of any later building '' . The formal vocabulary of ancient Greek architecture , in particular the division of architectural style into three defined orders : the Doric Order , the Ionic Order and the Corinthian Order , was to have profound effect on Western architecture of later periods . The architecture of ancient Rome grew out of that of Greece and maintained its influence in Italy unbroken until the present day . From the Renaissance , revivals of Classicism have kept alive not only the precise forms and ordered details of Greek architecture , but also its concept of architectural beauty based on balance and proportion . The successive styles of Neoclassical architecture and Greek Revival architecture followed and adapted Ancient Greek styles closely .

The most freely available building material is stone . Limestone was readily available and easily worked . There is an abundance of high quality white marble both on the mainland and islands , particularly Paros and Naxos . This finely grained material was a major contributing factor to precision of detail , both architectural and sculptural , that adorned ancient Greek architecture . Deposits of high quality potter 's clay were found throughout Greece and the Islands , with major deposits near Athens . It was used not only for pottery vessels , but also roof tiles and architectural decoration . The climate of Greece is maritime , with both the coldness of winter and the heat of summer tempered by sea breezes . This led to a lifestyle where many activities took place outdoors . Hence temples were placed on hilltops , their exteriors designed as a visual focus of gatherings and processions , while theatres were often an enhancement of a naturally occurring sloping site where people could sit , rather than a containing structure . Colonnades encircling buildings , or surrounding courtyards provided shelter from the sun and from sudden winter storms . The light of Greece may be another important factor in the development of the particular character of ancient Greek architecture . The light is often extremely bright , with both the sky and the sea vividly blue . The clear light and sharp shadows give a precision to the details of landscape , pale rocky outcrops and seashore . This clarity is alternated with periods of haze that varies in colour to the light on it . In this characteristic environment , the ancient Greek architects constructed buildings that were marked by precision of detail . The gleaming marble surfaces were smooth , curved , fluted , or ornately sculpted to reflect the sun , cast graded shadows and change in colour with the ever - changing light of day . The rugged indented coastline at Rhamnous , Attica The Theatre and Temple of Apollo in mountainous country at Delphi The Acropolis , Athens , is high above the city on a natural prominence . The Islands of the Aegean from Cape Sounion History ( edit ) Historians divide ancient Greek civilization into two eras , the Hellenic period ( from around 900 BC to the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC ) , and the Hellenistic period ( 323 BC to 30 AD ) . During the earlier Hellenic period , substantial works of architecture began to appear around 600 BC . During the later ( Hellenistic ) period , Greek culture spread widely , initially as a result of Alexander 's conquest of other lands , and later as a result of the rise of the Roman Empire , which adopted much of Greek culture . Before the Hellenic era , two major cultures had dominated the region : the Minoan ( c. 2800 -- 1100 BC ) , and the Mycenaean ( c. 1500 -- 1100 BC ) . Minoan is the name given by modern historians to the culture of the people of ancient Crete , known for its elaborate and richly decorated palaces , and for its pottery painted with floral and marine motifs . The Mycenaean culture , which flourished on the Peloponnesus , was quite different in character . Its people built citadels , fortifications and tombs rather than palaces , and decorated their pottery with bands of marching soldiers rather than octopus and seaweed . Both these civilizations came to an end around 1100 BC , that of Crete possibly because of volcanic devastation , and that of Mycenae because of an invasion by the Dorian people who lived on the Greek mainland . Following these events , there was a period from which few signs of culture remain . This period is thus often referred to as a Dark Age . Art ( edit ) Black figure Amphora , Atalante painter ( 500 - 490 BC ) , shows proportion and style that are hallmarks of ancient Greek art The Kritios Boy , ( c. 480 BC ) , typifies the tradition of free - standing figures The art history of the Hellenic era is generally subdivided into four periods : the Protogeometric ( 1100 -- 900 BC ) , the Geometric ( 900 -- 700 BC ) , the Archaic ( 700 -- 500 BC ) and the Classical ( 500 -- 323 BC ) with sculpture being further divided into Severe Classical , High Classical and Late Classical . The first signs of the particular artistic character that defines ancient Greek architecture are to be seen in the pottery of the Dorian Greeks from the 10th century BC . Already at this period it is created with a sense of proportion , symmetry and balance not apparent in similar pottery from Crete and Mycenae . The decoration is precisely geometric , and ordered neatly into zones on defined areas of each vessel . These qualities were to manifest themselves not only through a millennium of Greek pottery making , but also in the architecture that was to emerge in the 6th century . The major development that occurred was in the growing use of the human figure as the major decorative motif , and the increasing surety with which humanity , its mythology , activities and passions were depicted . The development in the depiction of the human form in pottery was accompanied by a similar development in sculpture . The tiny stylised bronzes of the Geometric period gave way to life - sized highly formalised monolithic representation in the Archaic period . The Classical period was marked by a rapid development towards idealised but increasingly lifelike depictions of gods in human form . This development had a direct effect on the sculptural decoration of temples , as many of the greatest extant works of ancient Greek sculpture once adorned temples , and many of the largest recorded statues of the age , such as the lost chryselephantine statues of Zeus at the Temple of Zeus at Olympia and Athena at the Parthenon , Athens , both over 40 feet high , were once housed in them . Religion and philosophy ( edit ) above : Modern model of ancient Olympia with the Temple of Zeus at the centre right : Recreation of the colossal statue of Athena , once housed in the Parthenon , with sculptor Alan LeQuire The religion of ancient Greece was a form of nature worship that grew out of the beliefs of earlier cultures . However , unlike earlier cultures , man was no longer perceived as being threatened by nature , but as its sublime product . The natural elements were personified as gods of completely human form , and very human behaviour . The home of the gods was thought to be Olympus , the highest mountain in Greece . The most important deities were : Zeus , the supreme god and ruler of the sky ; Hera , his wife and goddess of marriage ; Athena , goddess of wisdom ; Poseidon , god of the sea ; Demeter , goddess of the harvest ; Apollo , god of the sun , law , healing , plague , reason , music and poetry ; Artemis , goddess of the moon , the hunt and the wilderness ; Aphrodite , goddess of love ; Ares , God of war ; Hermes , god of commerce and travelers , Hephaestus , god of fire and metalwork , and Dionysus , god of wine and fruit - bearing plants . Worship , like many other activities , was done in community , in the open . However , by 600 BC , the gods were often represented by large statues and it was necessary to provide a building in which each of these could be housed . This led to the development of temples . The ancient Greeks perceived order in the universe , and in turn , applied order and reason to their creations . Their humanist philosophy put mankind at the centre of things , and promoted well - ordered societies and the development of democracy . At the same time , the respect for human intellect demanded reason , and promoted a passion for enquiry , logic , challenge , and problem solving . The architecture of the ancient Greeks , and in particular , temple architecture , responds to these challenges with a passion for beauty , and for order and symmetry which is the product of a continual search for perfection , rather than a simple application of a set of working rules . Architectural character ( edit ) Early development ( edit ) There is a clear division between the architecture of the preceding Mycenaean culture and Minoan cultures and that of the ancient Greeks , the techniques and an understanding of their style being lost when these civilisations fell . Mycenaean art is marked by its circular structures and tapered domes with flat - bedded , cantilevered courses . This architectural form did not carry over into the architecture of ancient Greece , but reappeared about 400 BC in the interior of large monumental tombs such as the Lion Tomb at Cnidos ( c. 350 BC ) . Little is known of Mycenaean wooden or domestic architecture and any continuing traditions that may have flowed into the early buildings of the Dorian people . The Minoan architecture of Crete , was of trabeated form like that of ancient Greece . It employed wooden columns with capitals , but the columns were of very different form to Doric columns , being narrow at the base and splaying upward . The earliest forms of columns in Greece seem to have developed independently . As with Minoan architecture , ancient Greek domestic architecture centred on open spaces or courtyards surrounded by colonnades . This form was adapted to the construction of hypostyle halls within the larger temples . The evolution that occurred in architecture was towards public building , first and foremost the temple , rather than towards grand domestic architecture such as had evolved in Crete . Types of buildings ( edit ) Main articles : Ancient Greek temple , Ancient Greek theatre , Acropolis , Agora , Stoa , and List of Ancient Greek temples Domestic buildings ( edit ) The Greek word for the family or household , oikos , is also the name for the house . Houses followed several different types . It is probable that many of the earliest houses were simple structures of two rooms , with an open porch or `` pronaos '' above which rose a low pitched gable or pediment . This form is thought to have contributed to temple architecture . Plan of the House of Colline , 2nd century BC The House of Masks , Delos , 3rd century BC The House of Masks The mosaic floor of a house at Delos The construction of many houses employed walls of sun dried clay bricks or wooden framework filled with fibrous material such as straw or seaweed covered with clay or plaster , on a base of stone which protected the more vulnerable elements from damp . The roofs were probably of thatch with eaves which overhung the permeable walls . Many larger houses , such as those at Delos , were built of stone and plastered . The roofing material for substantial house was tile . Houses of the wealthy had mosaic floors and demonstrated the Classical style . Many houses centred on a wide passage or `` pasta '' which ran the length of the house and opened at one side onto a small courtyard which admitted light and air . Larger houses had a fully developed peristyle courtyard at the centre , with the rooms arranged around it . Some houses had an upper floor which appears to have been reserved for the use of the women of the family . City houses were built with adjoining walls and were divided into small blocks by narrow streets . Shops were sometimes located in the rooms towards the street . City houses were inward - facing , with major openings looking onto the central courtyard , rather than the street . Public buildings ( edit ) The rectangular temple is the most common and best - known form of Greek public architecture . This rectilinear structure borrows from the Late Helladic , Mycenaean Megaron , which contained a central throne room , vestibule , and porch . The temple did not serve the same function as a modern church , since the altar stood under the open sky in the temenos or sacred precinct , often directly before the temple . Temples served as the location of a cult image and as a storage place or strong room for the treasury associated with the cult of the god in question , and as a place for devotees of the god to leave their votive offerings , such as statues , helmets and weapons . Some Greek temples appear to have been oriented astronomically . The temple was generally part of a religious precinct known as the acropolis . According to Aristotle , ' `` the site should be a spot seen far and wide , which gives good elevation to virtue and towers over the neighbourhood '' . Small circular temples , tholos were also constructed , as well as small temple - like buildings that served as treasuries for specific groups of donors . Porta Rosa , a street ( 3rd century BCE ) Velia , Italy The reconstructed Stoa of Attalos , the Agora , Athens The Bouleuterion , at Priene The Stadium at Epidauros During the late 5th and 4th centuries BC , town planning became an important consideration of Greek builders , with towns such as Paestum and Priene being laid out with a regular grid of paved streets and an agora or central market place surrounded by a colonnade or stoa . The completely restored Stoa of Attalos can be seen in Athens . Towns were also equipped with a public fountain where water could be collected for household use . The development of regular town plans is associated with Hippodamus of Miletus , a pupil of Pythagoras . Public buildings became `` dignified and gracious structures '' , and were sited so that they related to each other architecturally . The propylon or porch , formed the entrance to temple sanctuaries and other significant sites with the best - surviving example being the Propylaea on the Acropolis of Athens . The bouleuterion was a large public building with a hypostyle hall that served as a court house and as a meeting place for the town council ( boule ) . Remnants of bouleuterion survive at Athens , Olympia and Miletus , the latter having held up to 1200 people . Every Greek town had an open - air theatre . These were used for both public meetings as well as dramatic performances . The theatre was usually set in a hillside outside the town , and had rows of tiered seating set in a semicircle around the central performance area , the orchestra . Behind the orchestra was a low building called the skênê , which served as a store - room , a dressing - room , and also as a backdrop to the action taking place in the orchestra . A number of Greek theatres survive almost intact , the best known being at Epidaurus , by the architect Polykleitos the Younger . Greek towns of substantial size also had a palaestra or a gymnasium , the social centre for male citizens which included spectator areas , baths , toilets and club rooms . Other buildings associated with sports include the hippodrome for horse racing , of which only remnants have survived , and the stadium for foot racing , 600 feet in length , of which examples exist at Olympia , Delphi , Epidarus and Ephesus , while the Panathinaiko Stadium in Athens , which seats 45,000 people , was restored in the 19th century and was used in the 1896 , 1906 and 2004 Olympic Games .

Column 18 . Fluting 19 . Stylobate The architecture of ancient Greece is of a trabeated or `` post and lintel '' form , i.e. it is composed of upright beams ( posts ) supporting horizontal beams ( lintels ) . Although the existent buildings of the era are constructed in stone , it is clear that the origin of the style lies in simple wooden structures , with vertical posts supporting beams which carried a ridged roof . The posts and beams divided the walls into regular compartments which could be left as openings , or filled with sun dried bricks , lathes or straw and covered with clay daub or plaster . Alternately , the spaces might be filled with rubble . It is likely that many early houses and temples were constructed with an open porch or `` pronaos '' above which rose a low pitched gable or pediment . The earliest temples , built to enshrine statues of deities , were probably of wooden construction , later replaced by the more durable stone temples many of which are still in evidence today . The signs of the original timber nature of the architecture were maintained in the stone buildings . A few of these temples are very large , with several , such as the Temple of Zeus Olympus and the Olympians at Athens being well over 300 feet in length , but most were less than half this size . It appears that some of the large temples began as wooden constructions in which the columns were replaced piecemeal as stone became available . This , at least was the interpretation of the historian Pausanias looking at the Temple of Hera at Olympia in the 2nd century AD . The stone columns are made of a series of solid stone cylinders or `` drums '' that rest on each other without mortar , but were sometimes centred with a bronze pin . The columns are wider at the base than at the top , tapering with an outward curve known as `` entasis '' . Each column has a capital of two parts , the upper , on which rests the lintels , being square and called the `` abacus '' . The part of the capital that rises from the column itself is called the `` echinus '' . It differs according to the order , being plain in the Doric Order , fluted in the Ionic and foliate in the Corinthian . Doric and usually Ionic capitals are cut with vertical grooves known as `` fluting '' . This fluting or grooving of the columns is a retention of an element of the original wooden architecture . Entablature and pediment ( edit ) The columns of a temple support a structure that rises in two main stages , the entablature and the pediment . The entablature is the major horizontal structural element supporting the roof and encircling the entire building . It is composed of three parts . Resting on the columns is the architrave made of a series of stone `` lintels '' that spanned the space between the columns , and meet each other at a joint directly above the centre of each column . Above the architrave is a second horizontal stage called the `` frieze '' . The frieze is one of the major decorative elements of the building and carries a sculptured relief . In the case of Ionic and Corinthian architecture , the relief decoration runs in a continuous band , but in the Doric Order , it is divided into sections called `` metopes '' which fill the spaces between vertical rectangular blocks called `` triglyphs '' . The triglyphs are vertically grooved like the Doric columns , and retain the form of the wooden beams that would once have supported the roof . The upper band of the entablature is called the `` cornice '' , which is generally ornately decorated on its lower edge . The cornice retains the shape of the beams that would once have supported the wooden roof at each end of the building . At the front and rear of each temple , the entablature supports a triangular structure called the `` pediment '' . The triangular space framed by the cornices is the location of the most significant sculptural decoration on the exterior of the building . Masonry ( edit ) Every temple rested on a masonry base called the crepidoma , generally of three steps , of which the upper one which carried the columns was the stylobate . Masonry walls were employed for temples from about 600 BC onwards . Masonry of all types was used for ancient Greek buildings , including rubble , but the finest ashlar masonry was usually employed for temple walls , in regular courses and large sizes to minimise the joints . The blocks were rough hewn and hauled from quarries to be cut and bedded very precisely , with mortar hardly ever being used . Blocks , particularly those of columns and parts of the building bearing loads were sometimes fixed in place or reinforced with iron clamps , dowels and rods of wood , bronze or iron fixed in lead to minimise corrosion . Openings ( edit ) Door and window openings were spanned with a lintel , which in a stone building limited the possible width of the opening . The distance between columns was similarly affected by the nature of the lintel , columns on the exterior of buildings and carrying stone lintels being closer together than those on the interior , which carried wooden lintels . Door and window openings narrowed towards the top . Temples were constructed without windows , the light to the naos entering through the door . It has been suggested that some temples were lit from openings in the roof . A door of the Ionic Order at the Erechtheion ( 17 feet high and 7.5 feet wide at the top ) retains many of its features intact , including mouldings , and an entablature supported on console brackets . ( See Architectural Decoration , below ) Structure , masonry , openings and roof of Greek temples The Parthenon , shows the common structural features of Ancient Greek architecture : crepidoma , columns , entablature , pediment . Temple of Hephaestos , fluted Doric columns with abacuses supporting double beams of the architrave Erechtheion : masonry , door , stone lintels , coffered ceiling panels At the Temple of Aphaia , the hypostyle columns rise in two tiers , to a height greater than the walls , to support a roof without struts . Roof ( edit ) Further information : List of Greco - Roman roofs The widest span of a temple roof was across the cella , or internal space . In a large building , this space contains columns to support the roof , the architectural form being known as hypostyle . It appears that , although the architecture of ancient Greece was initially of wooden construction , the early builders did not have the concept of the diagonal truss as a stabilising member . This is evidenced by the nature of temple construction in the 6th century BC , where the rows of columns supporting the roof the cella rise higher than the outer walls , unnecessary if roof trusses are employed as an integral part of the wooden roof . The indication is that initially all the rafters were supported directly by the entablature , walls and hypostyle , rather than on a trussed wooden frame , which came into use in Greek architecture only in the 3rd century BC . Ancient Greek buildings of timber , clay and plaster construction were probably roofed with thatch . With the rise of stone architecture came the appearance of fired ceramic roof tiles . These early roof tiles showed an S - shape , with the pan and cover tile forming one piece . They were much larger than modern roof tiles , being up to 90 cm ( 35.43 in ) long , 70 cm ( 27.56 in ) wide , 3 -- 4 cm ( 1.18 -- 1.57 in ) thick and weighing around 30 kg ( 66 lb ) apiece . Only stone walls , which were replacing the earlier mudbrick and wood walls , were strong enough to support the weight of a tiled roof . The earliest finds of roof tiles of the Archaic period in Greece are documented from a very restricted area around Corinth , where fired tiles began to replace thatched roofs at the temples of Apollo and Poseidon between 700 and 650 BC . Spreading rapidly , roof tiles were within fifty years in evidence for a large number of sites around the Eastern Mediterranean , including Mainland Greece , Western Asia Minor , Southern and Central Italy . Being more expensive and labour - intensive to produce than thatch , their introduction has been explained by the fact that their fireproof quality would have given desired protection to the costly temples . As a side - effect , it has been assumed that the new stone and tile construction also ushered in the end of overhanging eaves in Greek architecture , as they made the need for an extended roof as rain protection for the mudbrick walls obsolete . Vaults and arches were not generally used , but begin to appear in tombs ( in a `` beehive '' or cantilevered form such as used in Mycenaea ) and occasionally , as an external feature , exedrae of voussoired construction from the 5th century BC . The dome and vault never became significant structural features , as they were to become in ancient Roman architecture . Temple plans ( edit ) Further information : List of Ancient Greek temples Plans of Ancient Greek Temples Top : 1 . distyle in antis , 2 . amphidistyle in antis , 3 . tholos , 4 . prostyle tetrastyle , 5 . amphiprostyle tetrastyle , Bottom : 6 . dipteral octastyle , 7 . peripteral hexastyle , 8 . pseudoperipteral hexastyle , 9 . pseudodipteral octastyle Most ancient Greek temples were rectangular , and were approximately twice as long as they were wide , with some notable exceptions such as the enormous Temple of Olympian Zeus , Athens with a length of nearly 21⁄2 times its width . A number of surviving temple - like structures are circular , and are referred to as tholos . The smallest temples are less than 25 metres ( approx. 75 feet ) in length , or in the case of the circular tholos , in diameter . The great majority of temples are between 30 -- 60 metres ( approx. 100 -- 200 feet ) in length . A small group of Doric temples , including the Parthenon , are between 60 -- 80 metres ( approx. 200 -- 260 feet ) in length . The largest temples , mainly Ionic and Corinthian , but including the Doric Temple of the Olympian Zeus , Agrigento , were between 90 -- 120 metres ( approx. 300 -- 390 feet ) in length . The temple rises from a stepped base or `` stylobate '' , which elevates the structure above the ground on which it stands . Early examples , such as the Temple of Zeus at Olympus , have two steps , but the majority , like the Parthenon , have three , with the exceptional example of the Temple of Apollo at Didyma having six . The core of the building is a masonry - built `` naos '' within which is a cella , a windowless room originally housing the statue of the god . The cella generally has a porch or `` pronaos '' before it , and perhaps a second chamber or `` antenaos '' serving as a treasury or repository for trophies and gifts . The chambers were lit by a single large doorway , fitted with a wrought iron grill . Some rooms appear to have been illuminated by skylights . On the stylobate , often completely surrounding the naos , stand rows of columns . Each temple is defined as being of a particular type , with two terms : one describing the number of columns across the entrance front , and the other defining their distribution . Examples : Distyle in antis describes a small temple with two columns at the front , which are set between the projecting walls of the pronaos or porch , like the Temple of Nemesis at Rhamnus . ( see left , figure 1 . ) Amphiprostyle tetrastyle describes a small temple that has columns at both ends which stand clear of the naos . Tetrastyle indicates that the columns are four in number , like those of the Temple on the Ilissus in Athens . ( figure 4 . ) Peripteral hexastyle describes a temple with a single row of peripheral columns around the naos , with six columns across the front , like the Theseion in Athens . ( figure 7 . ) Peripteral octastyle describes a temple with a single row of columns around the naos , ( figure 7 . ) with eight columns across the front , like the Parthenon , Athens . ( figs. 6 and 9 . ) Dipteral decastyle describes the huge temple of Apollo at Didyma , with the naos surrounded by a double row of columns , ( figure 6 . ) with ten columns across the entrance front . The Temple of Zeus Olympius at Agrigentum , is termed Pseudo-periteral heptastyle , because its encircling colonnade has pseudo columns that are attached to the walls of the naos . ( figure 8 . ) Heptastyle means that it has seven columns across the entrance front . Proportion and optical illusion ( edit ) The ideal of proportion that was used by ancient Greek architects in designing temples was not a simple mathematical progression using a square module . The math involved a more complex geometrical progression , the so - called Golden mean . The ratio is similar to that of the growth patterns of many spiral forms that occur in nature such as rams ' horns , nautilus shells , fern fronds , and vine tendrils and which were a source of decorative motifs employed by ancient Greek architects as particularly in evidence in the volutes of capitals of the Ionic and Corinthian Orders . 1 φ = φ − 1 ; φ = 1 + 5 2 ≈ 1.618 ( \ displaystyle ( \ frac ( 1 ) ( \ varphi ) ) = \ varphi - 1 ; \ ; \ varphi = ( \ frac ( 1 + ( \ sqrt ( 5 ) ) ) ( 2 ) ) \ approx 1.618 ) The ancient Greek architects took a philosophic approach to the rules and proportions . The determining factor in the mathematics of any notable work of architecture was its ultimate appearance . The architects calculated for perspective , for the optical illusions that make edges of objects appear concave and for the fact that columns that are viewed against the sky look different from those adjacent that are viewed against a shadowed wall . Because of these factors , the architects adjusted the plans so that the major lines of any significant building are rarely straight . The most obvious adjustment is to the profile of columns , which narrow from base to top . However , the narrowing is not regular , but gently curved so that each columns appears to have a slight swelling , called entasis below the middle . The entasis is never sufficiently pronounced as to make the swelling wider than the base ; it is controlled by a slight reduction in the rate of decrease of diameter . The main lines of the Parthenon are all curved . Diagram showing the optical corrections made by the architects of the Parthenon A sectioned nautilus shell . These shells may have provided inspiration for voluted Ionic capitals . The growth of the nautilus corresponds to the Golden Mean The Parthenon , the Temple to the Goddess Athena on the Acropolis in Athens , is referred to by many as the pinnacle of ancient Greek architecture . Helen Gardner refers to its `` unsurpassable excellence '' , to be surveyed , studied and emulated by architects of later ages . Yet , as Gardner points out , there is hardly a straight line in the building . Banister Fletcher calculated that the stylobate curves upward so that its centres at either end rise about 2.6 inches above the outer corners , and 4.3 inches on the longer sides . A slightly greater adjustment has been made to the entablature . The columns at the ends of the building are not vertical but are inclined towards the centre , with those at the corners being out of plumb by about 2.6 inches . These outer columns are both slightly wider than their neighbours and are slightly closer than any of the others . Style ( edit ) Orders of ancient Greek architecture above : Capital of the Ionic Order showing volutes and ornamented echinus left : Architectural elements of the Doric Order showing simple curved echinus of capital above : Capital of the Corinthian Order showing foliate decoration and vertical volutes . Orders ( edit ) Ancient Greek architecture of the most formal type , for temples and other public buildings , is divided stylistically into three `` orders '' , first described by the Roman architectural writer Vitruvius . These are : the Doric Order , the Ionic Order and the Corinthian Order , the names reflecting their regional origins within the Greek world . While the three orders are most easily recognizable by their capitals , the orders also governed the form , proportions , details and relationships of the columns , entablature , pediment and the stylobate . The different orders were applied to the whole range of buildings and monuments . The Doric Order developed on mainland Greece and spread to Magna Graecia ( Italy ) . It was firmly established and well - defined in its characteristics by the time of the building of the Temple of Hera at Olympia , c. 600 BC . The Ionic order co-existed with the Doric , being favoured by the Greek cities of Ionia , in Asia Minor and the Aegean Islands . It did not reach a clearly defined form until the mid 5th century BC . The early Ionic temples of Asia Minor were particularly ambitious in scale , such as the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus . The Corinthian Order was a highly decorative variant not developed until the Hellenistic period and retaining many characteristics of the Ionic . It was popularised by the Romans . Doric Order ( edit ) The Doric order is recognised by its capital , of which the echinus is like a circular cushion rising from the top of the column to the square abacus on which rest the lintels . The echinus appears flat and splayed in early examples , deeper and with greater curve in later , more refined examples , and smaller and straight - sided in Hellenistc examples . A refinement of the Doric column is the entasis , a gentle convex swelling to the profile of the column , which prevents an optical illusion of concavity . This is more pronounced in earlier examples . Doric columns are almost always cut with grooves , known as `` fluting '' , which run the length of the column and are usually 20 in number , although sometimes fewer . The flutes meet at sharp edges called arrises . At the top of the columns , slightly below the narrowest point , and crossing the terminating arrises , are three horizontal grooves known as the hypotrachelion . Doric columns have no bases , until a few examples in the Hellenistic period . The columns of an early Doric temple such as the Temple of Apollo at Syracuse , Sicily , may have a height to base diameter ratio of only 4 : 1 and a column height to entablature ratio of 2 : 1 , with relatively crude details . A column height to diameter of 6 : 1 became more usual , while the column height to entablature ratio at the Parthenon is about 3 : 1 . During the Hellenistic period , Doric conventions of solidity and masculinity dropped away , with the slender and unfluted columns reaching a height to diameter ratio of 7.5 : 1 . The Doric Order The Temple of Hephaestos , Athens , is a well - preserved temple of peripteral hexastyle plan . The entablature showing the architrave , frieze with triglyphs and metopes and the overhanging cornice The tapered fluted columns , constructed in drums , rest directly on the stylobate . The Doric entablature is in three parts , the architrave , the frieze and the cornice . The architrave is composed of the stone lintels which span the space between the columns , with a joint occurring above the centre of each abacus . On this rests the frieze , one of the major areas of sculptural decoration . The frieze is divided into triglyphs and metopes , the triglyphs , as stated elsewhere in this article , are a reminder of the timber history of the architectural style . Each triglyph has three vertical grooves , similar to the columnar fluting , and below them , seemingly connected , are guttae , small strips that appear to connect the triglyphs to the architrave below . A triglyph is located above the centre of each capital , and above the centre of each lintel . However , at the corners of the building , the triglyphs do not fall over the centre the column . The ancient architects took a pragmatic approach to the apparent `` rules '' , simply extending the width of the last two metopes at each end of the building . The cornice is a narrow jutting band of complex moulding which overhangs and protects the ornamented frieze , like the edge of an overhanging wooden - framed roof . It is decorated on the underside with projecting blocks , mutules , further suggesting the wooden nature of the prototype . At either end of the building the pediment rises from the cornice , framed by moulding of similar form . The pediment is decorated with figures that are in relief in the earlier examples , though almost freestanding by the time of the sculpture on the Parthenon . Early architectural sculptors found difficulty in creating satisfactory sculptural compositions in the tapering triangular space . By the Early Classical period , with the decoration of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia , ( 486 - 460 BC ) the sculptors had solved the problem by having a standing central figure framed by rearing centaurs and fighting men who are falling , kneeling and lying in attitudes that fit the size and angle of each part of the space . The famous sculptor Phidias fills the space at the Parthenon ( 448 - 432 BC ) with a complex array of draped and undraped figures of deities who appear in attitudes of sublime relaxation and elegance . Ionic Order ( edit ) The Ionic Order is recognized by its voluted capital , in which a curved echinus of similar shape to that of the Doric Order , but decorated with stylised ornament , is surmounted by a horizontal band that scrolls under to either side , forming spirals or volutes similar to those of the nautilus shell or ram 's horn . In plan , the capital is rectangular . It is designed to be viewed frontally but the capitals at the corners of buildings are modified with an additional scroll so as to appear regular on two adjoining faces . In the Hellenistic period , four - fronted Ionic capitals became common . The Ionic Order The Erechtheion , Acropolis , Athens : a building of asymmetrical plan , for the display of offerings to Athena Corner capital with a diagonal volute , showing also details of the fluting separated by fillets . Frieze of stylised alternating palms and reeds , and a cornice decorated with `` egg and dart '' moulding . Like the Doric Order , the Ionic Order retains signs of having its origins in wooden architecture . The horizontal spread of a flat timber plate across the top of a column is a common device in wooden construction , giving a thin upright a wider area on which to bear the lintel , while at the same time reinforcing the load - bearing strength of the lintel itself . Likewise , the columns always have bases , a necessity in wooden architecture to spread the load and protect the base of a comparatively thin upright . The columns are fluted with narrow , shallow flutes that do not meet at a sharp edge but have a flat band or fillet between them . The usual number of flutes is twenty - four but there may be as many as forty - four . The base has two convex mouldings called torus , and from the late Hellenic period stood on a square plinth similar to the abacus . The architrave of the Ionic Order is sometimes undecorated , but more often rises in three outwardly - stepped bands like overlapping timber planks . The frieze , which runs in a continuous band , is separated from the other members by rows of small projecting blocks . They are referred to as dentils , meaning `` teeth '' , but their origin is clearly in narrow wooden slats which supported the roof of a timber structure . The Ionic Order is altogether lighter in appearance than the Doric , with the columns , including base and capital , having a 9 : 1 ratio with the diameter , while the whole entablature was also much narrower and less heavy than the Doric entablature . There was some variation in the distribution of decoration . Formalised bands of motifs such as alternating forms known as `` egg and dart '' were a feature of the Ionic entablatures , along with the bands of dentils . The external frieze often contained a continuous band of figurative sculpture or ornament , but this was not always the case . Sometimes a decorative frieze occurred around the upper part of the naos rather than on the exterior of the building . These Ionic - style friezes around the naos are sometimes found on Doric buildings , notably the Parthenon . Some temples , like the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus , had friezes of figures around the lower drum of each column , separated from the fluted section by a bold moulding . Caryatids , draped female figures used as supporting members to carry the entablature , were a feature of the Ionic order , occurring at several buildings including the Siphnian Treasury at Delphi in 525 BC and at the Erechtheion , about 410 BC . The Corinthian Order The Temple of Zeus Olympia , Athens , ( `` the Olympieion '' ) The tall capital combines both semi-naturalistic leaves and highly stylised tendrils forming volutes . Corinthian Order ( edit ) The Corinthian Order does not have its origin in wooden architecture . It grew directly out of the Ionic in the mid 5th century BC , and was initially of much the same style and proportion , but distinguished by its more ornate capitals . The capital was very much deeper than either the Doric or the Ionic capital , being shaped like a large krater , a bell - shaped mixing bowl , and being ornamented with a double row of acanthus leaves above which rose voluted tendrils , supporting the corners of the abacus , which , no longer perfectly square , splayed above them . According to Vitruvius , the capital was invented by a bronze founder , Callimachus of Corinth , who took his inspiration from a basket of offerings that had been placed on a grave , with a flat tile on top to protect the goods . The basket had been placed on the root of an acanthus plant which had grown up around it . The ratio of the column height to diameter is generally 10 : 1 , with the capital taking up more than 1 / 10 of the height . The ratio of capital height to diameter is generally about 1.16 : 1 . The Corinthian Order was initially used internally , as at the Temple of Apollo Epicurius at Bassae ( c. 450 - 425 BC ) . In 334 BC it appeared as an external feature on the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens , and then on a huge scale at the Temple of Zeus Olympia in Athens , ( 174 BC - AD 132 ) . It was popularised by the Romans , who added a number of refinements and decorative details . During the Hellenistic period , Corinthian columns were sometimes built without fluting . Decoration ( edit ) Architectural ornament ( edit ) Architectural ornament of fired and painted clay This Archaic gorgon 's head antefix has been cast in a mould , fired and painted . The lion 's head gargoyle is fixed to a revetment on which elements of a formal frieze have been painted . Early wooden structures , particularly temples , were ornamented and in part protected by fired and painted clay revetments in the form of rectangular panels , and ornamental discs . Many fragments of these have outlived the buildings that they decorated and demonstrate a wealth of formal border designs of geometric scrolls , overlapping patterns and foliate motifs . With the introduction of stone - built temples , the revetments no longer served a protective purpose and sculptured decoration became more common . The clay ornaments were limited to the roof of buildings , decorating the cornice , the corners and surmounting the pediment . At the corners of pediments they were called acroteria and along the sides of the building , antefixes . Early decorative elements were generally semi-circular , but later of roughly triangular shape with moulded ornament , often palmate . Ionic cornices were often set with a row of lion 's masks , with open mouths that ejected rainwater . From the Late Classical period , acroteria were sometimes sculptured figures. See `` Architectural sculpture '' In the three orders of ancient Greek architecture , the sculptural decoration , be it a simple half round astragal , a frieze of stylised foliage or the ornate sculpture of the pediment , is all essential to the architecture of which it is a part . In the Doric order , there is no variation in its placement . Reliefs never decorate walls in an arbitrary way . The sculpture is always located in several predetermined areas , the metopes and the pediment . In later Ionic architecture , there is greater diversity in the types and numbers of mouldings and decorations , particularly around doorways , where voluted brackets sometimes occur supporting an ornamental cornice over a door , such as that at the Erechtheion . A much applied narrow moulding is called `` bead and reel '' and is symmetrical , stemming from turned wooden prototypes . Wider mouldings include one with tongue - like or pointed leaf shapes , which are grooved and sometimes turned upward at the tip , and `` egg and dart '' moulding which alternates ovoid shapes with narrow pointy ones . Architectural sculpture ( edit ) The Archaic Gorgon of the western pediment from the Artemis Temple of Corfu , Archaeological Museum of Corfu Classical figurative sculpture from the eastern pediment of the Parthenon , British Museum Architectural sculpture showed a development from early Archaic examples through Severe Classical , High Classical , Late Classical and Hellenistic . Remnants of Archaic architectural sculpture ( 700 - 500 BC ) exist from the early 6th century BC with the earliest surviving pedimental sculpture being fragments of a Gorgon flanked by heraldic panthers from the centre of the pediment of the Artemis Temple of Corfu . A metope from a temple known as `` Temple C '' at Selinus , Sicily , shows , in a better preserved state , Perseus slaying the Gorgon Medusa . Both images parallel the stylised depiction of the Gorgons on the black figure name vase decorated by the Nessos painter ( c. 600 BC ) , with the face and shoulders turned frontally , and the legs in a running or kneeling position . At this date images of terrifying monsters have predominance over the emphasis on the human figure that developed with Humanist philosophy . The Severe Classical style ( 500 -- 450 BC ) is represented by the pedimental sculptures of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia , ( 470 -- 456 BC ) . The eastern pediment shows a moment of stillness and `` impending drama '' before the beginning of a chariot race , the figures of Zeus and the competitors being severe and idealised representations of the human form . The western pediment has Apollo as the central figure , `` majestic '' and `` remote '' , presiding over a battle of Lapiths and Centaurs , in strong contrast to that of the eastern pediment for its depiction of violent action , and described by D.E. Strong as the `` most powerful piece of illustration '' for a hundred years . The shallow reliefs and three - dimensional sculpture which adorned the frieze and pediments , respectively , of the Parthenon , are the lifelike products of the High Classical style ( 450 -- 400 BC ) and were created under the direction of the sculptor Phidias . The pedimental sculpture represents the Gods of Olympus , while the frieze shows the Panathenaic procession and ceremonial events that took place every four years to honour the titular Goddess of Athens . The frieze and remaining figures of the eastern pediment show a profound understanding of the human body , and how it varies depending upon its position and the stresses that action and emotion place upon it . Benjamin Robert Haydon described the reclining figure of Dionysus as `` ... the most heroic style of art , combined with all the essential detail of actual life '' . The names of many famous sculptors are known from the Late Classical period ( 400 -- 323 BC ) , including Timotheos , Praxiteles , Leochares and Skopas , but their works are known mainly from Roman copies . Little architectural sculpture of the period remains intact . The Temple of Asclepius at Epidauros had sculpture by Timotheos working with the architect Theodotos . Fragments of the eastern pediment survive , showing the Sack of Troy . The scene appears to have filled the space with figures carefully arranged to fit the slope and shape available , as with earlier east pediment of the Temple of Zeus at Olympus . But the figures are more violent in action , the central space taken up , not with a commanding God , but with the dynamic figure of Neoptolemos as he seizes the aged king Priam and stabs him . The remaining fragments give the impression of a whole range of human emotions , fear , horror , cruelty and lust for conquest . The acroteria were sculptured by Timotheus , except for that at the centre of the east pediment which is the work of the architect . The palmate acroteria have been replaced here with small figures , the eastern pediment being surmounted by a winged Nike , poised against the wind . Hellenistic architectural sculpture ( 323 -- 31 BC ) was to become more flamboyant , both in the rendering of expression and motion , which is often emphasised by flowing draperies , the Nike Samothrace which decorated a monument in the shape of a ship being a well - known example . The Pergamon Altar ( c. 180 -- 160 BC ) has a frieze ( 120 metres long by 2.3 metres high ) of figures in very high relief . The frieze represents the battle for supremacy of Gods and Titans , and employs many dramatic devices : frenzy , pathos and triumph , to convey the sense of conflict .

Contract law regulates every transaction , from buying a tube ticket to computerised derivatives trading . English contract law is a body of law regulating contracts in England and Wales . With its roots in the lex mercatoria and the activism of the judiciary during the industrial revolution , it shares a heritage with countries across the Commonwealth ( such as Australia , Canada , India ) , and to a lesser extent the United States . It is also experiencing gradual change because of the UK 's membership of the European Union and international organisations like Unidroit . Any agreement that is enforceable in court is a contract . Because a contract is a voluntary obligation , in contrast to paying compensation for a tort and restitution to reverse unjust enrichment , English law places a high value on ensuring people have truly consented to the deals that bind them in court . Generally a contract forms when one person makes an offer , and another person accepts it by communicating their assent or performing the offer 's terms . If the terms are certain , and the parties can be presumed from their behaviour to have intended that the terms are binding , generally the agreement is enforceable . Some contracts , particularly for large transactions such as a sale of land , also require the formalities of signatures and witnesses and English law goes further than other European countries by requiring all parties bring something of value , known as `` consideration '' , to a bargain as a precondition to enforce it . Contracts can be made personally or through an agent acting on behalf of a principal , if the agent acts within what a reasonable person would think they have the authority to do . In principle , English law grants people broad freedom to agree the content of a deal . Terms in an agreement are incorporated through express promises , by reference to other terms or potentially through a course of dealing between two parties . Those terms are interpreted by the courts to seek out the true intention of the parties , from the perspective of an objective observer , in the context of their bargaining environment . Where there is a gap , courts typically imply terms to fill the spaces , but also through the 20th century both the judiciary and legislature have intervened more and more to strike out surprising and unfair terms , particularly in favour of consumers , employees or tenants with weaker bargaining power . Contract law works best when an agreement is performed , and recourse to the courts is never needed because each party knows her rights and duties . However , where an unforeseen event renders an agreement very hard , or even impossible to perform , the courts typically will construe the parties to want to have released themselves from their obligations . It may also be that one party simply breaches a contract 's terms . If a contract is not substantially performed , then the innocent party is entitled to cease her own performance and sue for damages to put her in the position as if the contract were performed . She is under a duty to mitigate her losses and can not claim for harm that was a remote consequence of the contractual breach , but remedies in English law are footed on the principle that full compensation for all losses , pecuniary or not , should be made good . In exceptional circumstances , the law goes further to require a wrongdoer to make restitution for their gains from breaching a contract , and may demand specific performance of the agreement rather than monetary compensation . It is also possible that a contract becomes voidable , because , depending on the specific type of contract , one party failed to make adequate disclosure or they made misrepresentations during negotiations . Unconscionable agreements can be escaped where a person was under duress or undue influence or their vulnerability was being exploited when they ostensibly agreed to a deal . Children , mentally incapacitated people and companies , whose representatives are acting wholly outside their authority , are protected against having agreements enforced against them where they lacked the real capacity to make a decision to enter an agreement . Some transactions are considered illegal , and are not enforced by courts because of a statute or on grounds of public policy . In theory , English law attempts to adhere to a principle that people should only be bound when they have given their informed and true consent to a contract .

Until 1602 it resisted hearing cases without claimants risking perjury . The modern law of contract is primarily a creature of the industrial revolution and the social legislation of the 20th century . However , the foundations of all European contract law are traceable to obligations in Ancient Athenian and Roman law , while the formal development of English law began after the Norman Conquest of 1066 . William the Conqueror created a common law across England , but throughout the middle ages the court system was minimal . Access to the courts , in what are now considered contractual disputes , was consciously restricted to a privileged few through onerous requirements of pleading , formalities and court fees . In the local and manorial courts , according to English law 's first treatise by Ranulf de Glanville in 1188 , if people disputed the payment of a debt they , and witnesses , would attend court and swear oaths ( called a wager of law ) . They risked perjury if they lost the case , and so this was strong encouragement to resolve disputes elsewhere . The royal courts , fixed to meet in London by the Magna Carta 1215 , accepted claims for `` trespass on the case '' ( more like a tort today ) . A jury would be called , and no wager of law was needed , but some breach of the King 's peace had to be alleged . Gradually , the courts allowed claims where there had been no real trouble , no tort with `` force of arms '' ( vi et armis ) , but it was still necessary to put this in the pleading . For instance , in 1317 one Simon de Rattlesdene alleged he was sold a tun of wine that was contaminated with salt water and , quite fictitiously , this was said to be done `` with force and arms , namely with swords and bows and arrows '' . The Court of Chancery and the King 's Bench slowly started to allow claims without the fictitious allegation of force and arms from around 1350 . An action for simple breach of a covenant ( a solemn promise ) had required production of formal proof of the agreement with a seal . However , in The Humber Ferryman 's case a claim was allowed , without any documentary evidence , against a ferryman who dropped a horse overboard that he was contracted to carry across the River Humber . Despite this liberalisation , in the 1200s a threshold of 40 shillings for a dispute 's value had been created . Though its importance tapered away with inflation over the years , it foreclosed court access to most people . Moreover , freedom to contract was firmly suppressed among the peasantry . After the Black Death , the Statute of Labourers 1351 prevented any increase in workers ' wages fuelling , among other things , the Peasants ' Revolt of 1381 . Merchants trading within the North European Hanseatic League followed a law of the merchant , or lex mercatoria , whose principles were received into the English law of contract . Increasingly , the English law on contractual bargains was affected by its trading relations with northern Europe , particularly since the Magna Carta 1215 had guaranteed merchants `` safe and secure '' exit and entry to England `` for buying and selling by the ancient rights and customs , quit from all evil tolls '' . In 1266 King Henry III had granted the Hanseatic League a charter to trade in England . The `` Easterlings '' who came by boats brought goods and money that the English called `` Sterling '' , and standard rules for commerce that formed a lex mercatoria , the laws of the merchants . Merchant custom was most influential in the coastal trading ports like London , Boston , Hull and King 's Lynn . While the courts were hostile to restraints on trade , a doctrine of consideration was forming , so that to enforce any obligation something of value needed to be conveyed . Some courts remained sceptical that damages might be awarded purely for a broken agreement ( that was not a sealed covenant ) . Other disputes allowed a remedy . In Shepton v Dogge a defendant had agreed in London , where the City courts ' custom was to allow claims without covenants under seal , to sell 28 acres of land in Hoxton . Although the house itself was outside London at the time , in Middlesex , a remedy was awarded for deceit , but essentially based on a failure to convey the land . The resolution of these restrictions came shortly after 1585 , when a new Court of Exchequer Chamber was established to hear common law appeals . In 1602 , in Slade v Morley , a grain merchant named Slade claimed that Morley had agreed to buy wheat and rye for £ 16 , but then had backed out . Actions for debt were in the jurisdiction of the Court of Common Pleas , which had required both ( 1 ) proof of a debt , and ( 2 ) a subsequent promise to repay the debt , so that a finding of deceit ( for non-payment ) could be made against a defendant . But if a claimant wanted to simply demand payment of the contractual debt ( rather than a subsequent promise to pay ) he could have to risk a wager of law . The judges of the Court of the King 's Bench was prepared to allow `` assumpsit '' actions ( for obligations being assumed ) simply from proof of the original agreement . With a majority in the Exchquer Chamber , after six years Lord Popham CJ held that `` every contract importeth in itself an Assumpsit '' . Around the same time the Common Pleas indicated a different limit for contract enforcement in Bret v JS , that `` natural affection of itself is not a sufficient consideration to ground an assumpsit '' and there had to be some `` express quid pro quo '' . Now that wager of law , and sealed covenants were essentially unnecessary , the Statute of Frauds 1677 codified the contract types that were thought should still require some form . Over the late 17th and 18th centuries Sir John Holt , and then Lord Mansfield actively incorporated the principles of international trade law and custom into English common law as they saw it : principles of commercial certainty , good faith , fair dealing , and the enforceability of seriously intended promises . As Lord Mansfield held , `` Mercantile law is not the law of a particular country but the law of all nations '' , and `` the law of merchants and the law of the land is the same '' . ' governments do not limit their concern with contracts to a simple enforcement . They take upon themselves to determine what contracts are fit to be enforced ... once it is admitted that there are any engagements which for reasons of expediency the law ought not to enforce , the same question is necessarily opened with respect to all engagements . Whether , for example , the law should enforce a contract to labour , when the wages are too low or the hours of work too severe : whether it should enforce a contract by which a person binds himself to remain , for more than a very limited period , in the service of a given individual ... Every question which can possibly arise as to the policy of contracts , and of the relations which they establish among human beings , is a question for the legislator ; and one which he can not escape from considering , and in some way or other deciding . ' JS Mill , Principles of Political Economy ( 1848 ) Book V , ch 1 , § 2 Over the industrial revolution , English courts became more and more wedded to the concept of `` freedom of contract '' . It was partly a sign of progress , as the vestiges of feudal and mercantile restrictions on workers and businesses were lifted , a move of people ( at least in theory ) from `` status to contract '' . On the other hand , a preference for laissez faire thought concealed the inequality of bargaining power in multiple contracts , particularly for employment , consumer goods and services , and tenancies . At the centre of the general law of contracts , captured in nursery rhymes like Robert Browning 's Pied Piper of Hamelin in 1842 , was the fabled notion that if people had promised something `` let us keep our promise '' . But then , the law purported to cover every form of agreement , as if everybody had the same degree of free will to promise what they wanted . Though many of the most influential liberal thinkers , especially John Stuart Mill , believed in multiple exceptions to the rule that laissez faire was the best policy , the courts were suspicious of interfering in agreements , whoever the parties were . In Printing and Numerical Registering Co v Sampson Sir George Jessel MR proclaimed it a `` public policy '' that `` contracts when entered into freely and voluntarily shall be held sacred and shall be enforced by Courts of justice . '' The same year , the Judicature Act 1875 merged the Courts of Chancery and common law , with equitable principles ( such as estoppel , undue influence , rescission for misrepresentation and fiduciary duties or disclosure requirements in some transactions ) always taking precedence . The essential principles of English contract law , however , remained stable and familiar , as an offer for certain terms , mirrored by an acceptance , supported by consideration , and free from duress , undue influence or misrepresentation , would generally be enforceable . The rules were codified and exported across the British Empire , as for example in the Indian Contract Act 1872 . Further requirements of fairness in exchanges between unequal parties , or general obligations of good faith and disclosure were said to be unwarranted because it was urged by the courts that liabilities `` are not to be forced upon people behind their backs '' . Parliamentary legislation , outside general codifications of commercial law like the Sale of Goods Act 1893 , similarly left people to the harsh realities of the market and `` freedom of contract '' . This only changed when the property qualifications to vote for members of parliament were reduced and eliminated , as the United Kingdom slowly became more democratic . Unidroit , based in Rome and established in 1926 under the League of Nations to unify private law , maintains the influential Principles of International Commercial Contracts of 2004 . A similar effort is the Principles of European Contract Law of 2002 . Over the 20th century , legislation and changes in court attitudes effected a wide - ranging reform of 19th century contract law . First , specific types of non-commercial contract were given special protection where `` freedom of contract '' appeared far more on the side of large businesses . Consumer contracts came to be regarded as `` contracts of adhesion '' where there was no real negotiation and most people were given `` take it or leave it '' terms . The courts began by requiring entirely clear information before onerous clauses could be enforced , the Misrepresentation Act 1967 switched the burden of proof onto business to show misleading statements were not negligent , and the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 created the jurisdiction to scrap contract terms that were `` unreasonable '' , considering the bargaining power of the parties . Collective bargaining by trade unions and a growing number of employment rights carried the employment contract into an autonomous field of labour law where workers had rights , like a minimum wage , fairness in dismissal , the right to join a union and take collective action , and these could not be given up in a contract with an employer . Private housing was subject to basic terms , such as the right to repairs , and restrictions on unfair rent increases , though many protections were abolished during the 1980s . Nevertheless , the scope of the general law of contract had been reduced . It meant that most contracts made by people on an ordinary day were shielded from the power of corporations to impose whatever terms they chose in selling goods and services , at work , and in people 's home . Nevertheless , classical contract law remained at the foundation of those specific contracts , unless particular rights were given by the courts or Parliament . Internationally , the UK had joined the European Union , which aimed to harmonise significant parts of consumer and employment law across member states . Moreover , with increasing openness of markets commercial contract law was receiving principles from abroad . Both the Principles of European Contract Law , the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts , and the practice of international commercial arbitration was reshaping thinking about English contract principles in an increasingly globalised economy . Formation ( edit ) An English and a Frenchman shake hands on an agreement . See also : English tort law , English unjust enrichment law , and English trusts law In its essence a contract is an agreement which the law recognises as giving rise to enforceable obligations . As opposed to tort and unjust enrichment , contract is typically viewed as the part of the law of obligations which deals with voluntary undertakings , and accordingly gives a high priority to ensuring that only bargains to which people have given their true consent will be enforced by the courts . While it is not always clear when people have truly agreed in a subjective sense , English law takes the view that when one person objectively manifests their consent to a bargain , they will be bound . However , not all agreements , even if they are relatively certain in subject matter , are considered enforceable . There is a rebuttable presumption that people do not wish to later have legal enforcement of agreements made socially or domestically . The general rule is that contracts require no prescribed form , such as being in writing , except where statute requires it , usually for large deals like the sale of land . In addition and in contrast to civil law systems , English common law carried a general requirement that all parties , in order to have standing to enforce an agreement , must have brought something of value , or `` consideration '' to the bargain . This old rule is full of exceptions , particularly where people wished to vary their agreements , through case law and the equitable doctrine of promissory estoppel . Moreover , statutory reform in the Contracts ( Rights of Third Parties ) Act 1999 allows third parties to enforce the benefit of an agreement that they had not necessarily paid for so long as the original parties to a contract consented to them being able to do so .

Whether an offer has been made , or it has been accepted , is an issue courts determine by asking what a reasonable person would have thought was intended . Offers are distinguished from `` invitations to treat '' ( or an invitatio ad offerendum , the invitation of an offer ) which can not be simply accepted by the other party . Traditionally , English law has viewed the display of goods in a shop , even with a price tag , as an invitation to treat , so that when a customer takes the product to the till it is she who is making the offer , and the shopkeeper may refuse to sell . Similarly , and as a very general rule , an advertisement , the invitation to make a bid at an auction with a reserve price , or the invitation to submit a tender bid are not considered offers . On the other hand , a person inviting tenders may fall under a duty to consider the submissions if they arrive before the deadline , so the bidder ( even though there is no contract ) could sue for damages if his bid is never considered . An auctioneer who publicises an auction as being without a reserve price falls under a duty to accept the highest bid . An automated vending machine constitutes a standing offer , and a court may construe an advertisement , or something on display like a deckchair , to be a serious offer if a customer would be led to believe they were accepting its terms by performing an action . Statute imposes criminal penalties for businesses that engage in misleading advertising , or not selling products at the prices they display in store , or unlawfully discriminating against customers on grounds of race , gender , sexuality , disability , belief or age . The Principles of European Contract Law article 2 : 201 suggests that most EU member states count a proposal to supply any good or service by a professional as an offer . `` Read the advertisement how you will , and twist it about as you will , '' said Lindley LJ of the Smoke Ball advert , `` here is a distinct promise expressed in language which is perfectly unmistakable '' . Once an offer is made , the general rule is the offeree must communicate her acceptance in order to have a binding agreement . Notification of acceptance must actually reach a point where the offeror could reasonably be expected to know , although if the recipient is at fault , for instance , by not putting enough ink in their fax machine for a message arriving in office hours to be printed , the recipient will still be bound . This goes for all methods of communication , whether oral , by phone , through telex , fax or email , except for the post . Acceptance by letter takes place when the letter is put in the postbox . The postal exception is a product of history , and does not exist in most countries . It only exists in English law so long as it is reasonable to use the post for a reply ( e.g. not in response to an email ) , and its operation would not create manifest inconvenience and absurdity ( e.g. the letter goes missing ) . In all cases it is possible for the negotiating parties to stipulate a prescribed mode of acceptance . It is not possible for an offeror to impose an obligation on the offeree to reject the offer without her consent . However , it is clear that people can accept through silence , firstly , by demonstrating through their conduct that they accept . In Brogden v Metropolitan Railway Company , although the Metropolitan Railway Company had never returned a letter from Mr Brogden formalising a long term supply arrangement for Mr Brogden 's coal , they had conducted themselves for two years as if it were in effect , and Mr Brogden was bound . Secondly , the offeror may waive the need for communication of acceptance , either expressly , or implicitly , as in Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Company . Here a quack medicine company advertised its `` smoke ball '' , stating that if a customer found it did not cure them of the flu after using it thrice daily for two weeks , they would get £ 100 . After noting the advertisement was serious enough to be an offer , not mere puff or an invitation to treat , the Court of Appeal held the accepting party only needed to use the smokeball as prescribed to get the £ 100 . Although the general rule was to require communication of acceptance , the advertisement had tacitly waived the need for Mrs Carlill , or anyone else , to report her acceptance first . In other cases , such as where a reward is advertised for information , the only requirement of the English courts appears to be knowledge of the offer . Where someone makes such a unilateral offer , they fall under a duty to not revoke it once someone has begun to act on the offer . Otherwise an offer may always be revoked before it is accepted . The general rule is that revocation must be communicated , even if by post , although if the offerree hears about the withdrawal from a third party , this is as good as a withdrawal from the offeror himself . Finally , an offer can be `` killed off '' if , rather than a mere inquiry for information , someone makes a counter offer . So in Hyde v Wrench , when Wrench offered to sell his farm for £ 1000 , and Hyde replied that he would buy it for £ 950 and Wrench refused , Hyde could not then change his mind and accept the original £ 1000 offer . The Valkyrie II , sunk by the aptly named The Satanita , had to be paid for because of a tacit contract of the racers . While the model of an offer mirroring acceptance makes sense to analyse almost all agreements , it does not fit in some cases . In The Satanita the rules of a yacht race stipulated that the yachtsmen would be liable , beyond limits set in statute , to pay for all damage to other boats . The Court of Appeal held that there was a contract to pay arising from the rules of the competition between The Satanita 's owner and the owner of Valkyrie II , which he sank , even though there was no clear offer mirrored by a clear acceptance between the parties at any point . Along with a number of other critics , in a series of cases Lord Denning MR proposed that English law ought to abandon its rigid attachment to offer and acceptance in favour of a broader rule , that the parties need to be in substantial agreement on the material points in the contract . In Butler Machine Tool Co Ltd v Ex-Cell - O Corp Ltd this would have meant that during a `` battle of forms '' two parties were construed as having material agreement on the buyer 's standard terms , and excluding a price variation clause , although the other court members reached the same view on ordinary analysis . In Gibson v Manchester CC he would have come to a different result to the House of Lords , by allowing Mr Gibson to buy his house from the council , even though the council 's letter stated it `` should not be regarded as a firm offer '' . This approach would potentially give greater discretion to a court to do what appears appropriate at the time , without being tied to what the parties may have subjectively intended , particularly where those intentions obviously conflicted . In a number of instances , the courts avoid enforcement of contracts where , although there is a formal offer and acceptance , little objective agreement exists otherwise . In Hartog v Colin & Shields , where the seller of some Argentine hare skins quoted his prices far below what previous negotiations had suggested , the buyer could not enforce the agreement because any reasonable person would have known the offer was not serious , but a mistake . Moreover , if two parties think they reach an agreement , but their offer and acceptance concerns two entirely different things , the court will not enforce a contract . In Raffles v Wichelhaus , Raffles thought he was selling cotton aboard one ship called The Peerless , which would arrive from Bombay in Liverpool in December , but Wichelhaus thought he was buying cotton aboard another ship called The Peerless that would arrive in September . The court held there was never consensus ad idem ( Latin : `` agreement to the ( same ) thing '' ) . Where agreements totally fail , but one party has performed work at another 's request , relying on the idea that there will be a contract , that party may make a claim for the value of the work done , or quantum meruit . Such a restitution claim allows recovery for the expense the claimant goes to , but will not cover her expectation of potential profits , because there is no agreement to be enforced . Certainty and enforceability ( edit ) Main articles : Certainty in English contract law , Creating legal relations in English law , and Formalities in English law Sources on enforceability Balfour v Balfour ( 1919 ) 2 KB 571 Rose & Frank Co v JR Crompton & Bros Ltd ( 1924 ) Hillas & Co Ltd v Arcos Ltd ( 1932 ) Parker v Clark ( 1960 ) 1 WLR 286 Jones v Padavatton ( 1968 ) Esso Petroleum Co Ltd v Customs and Excise ( 1975 ) Baird Textile Holdings Ltd v M&S plc ( 2001 ) Statute of Frauds 1677 s 4 Bills of Exchange Act 1882 s 3 ( 1 ) Law of Property Act 1925 ss 52 , 54 ( 2 ) Consumer Credit Act 1974 ss 60 , 61 Law of Property ( Miscellaneous Provisions ) Act 1989 s 2 ( 1 ) see Certainty , social agreements and deeds . While agreement is the basis for all contracts , not all agreements are enforceable . A preliminary question is whether the contract is reasonably certain in its essential terms , or essentialia negotii , such as price , subject matter and the identity of the parties . Generally the courts endeavour to `` make the agreement work '' , so in Hillas & Co Ltd v Arcos Ltd , the House of Lords held that an option to buy softwood of `` fair specification '' was sufficiently certain to be enforced , when read in the context of previous agreements between the parties . However the courts do not wish to `` make contracts for people '' , and so in Scammell and Nephew Ltd v Ouston , a clause stipulating the price of buying a new van as `` on hire purchase terms '' for two years was held unenforceable because there was no objective standard by which the court could know what price was intended or what a reasonable price might be . Similarly , in Baird Textile Holdings Ltd v M&S plc the Court of Appeal held that because the price and quantity to buy would be uncertain , in part , no term could be implied for M&S to give reasonable notice before terminating its purchasing agreement . Controversially , the House of Lords extended this idea by holding an agreement to negotiate towards a future contract in good faith is insufficiently certain to be enforceable . Jones v Padavatton held that a daughter studying for the bar at Lincoln 's Inn could not sue her mother to keep a house . While many agreements can be certain , it is by no means certain that in the case of social and domestic affairs people want their agreements to be legally binding . In Balfour v Balfour Atkin LJ held that Mr Balfour 's agreement to pay his wife £ 30 a month while he worked in Ceylon should be presumed unenforceable , because people do not generally intend such promises in the social sphere to create legal consequences . Similarly , an agreement between friends at a pub , or a daughter and her mother will fall into this sphere , but not a couple who are on the verge of separation , and not friends engaged in big transactions , particularly where one side relies heavily to their detriment on the assurances of the other . This presumption of unenforceability can always be rebutted by express agreement otherwise , for instance by writing the deal down . By contrast , agreements made among businesses are almost conclusively presumed to be enforceable . But again , express words , such as `` This arrangement ... shall not be subject to legal jurisdiction in the law courts '' will be respected . In one situation , statute presumes that collective agreements between a trade union and an employer are not intended to create legal relations , ostensibly to keep excessive litigation away from UK labour law . A bill of exchange , for instance a cheque , is an order by one person to another ( typically a bank ) to pay a sum of money to a third person . Under BEA 1882 s 3 it must be written and signed . In a limited number of cases , an agreement will be unenforceable unless it meets a certain form prescribed by statute . While contracts can be generally made without formality , some transactions are thought to require form either because it makes a person think carefully before they bind themselves to an agreement , or merely that it serves as clear evidence . This goes typically for large engagements , including the sale of land , a lease of property over three years , a consumer credit agreement , and a bill of exchange . A contract for guarantee must also , at some stage , be evidenced in writing . Finally , English law takes the approach that a gratuitous promise , as a matter of contract law , is not legally binding . While a gift that is delivered will transfer property irrevocably , and while someone may always bind themselves to a promise without anything in return to deliver a thing in future if they sign a deed that is witnessed , a simple promise to do something in future can be revoked . This result is reached , with some complexity , through a peculiarity of English law called the doctrine of consideration . Consideration and estoppel ( edit ) Main articles : Consideration in English law and Estoppel in English law Consideration cases Dyer 's case ( 1414 ) 2 Hen V 5 , 26 Bret v JS ( 1600 ) Cro Eliz 756 Lampleigh v Brathwait ( 1615 ) EWHC KB J 17 Pillans v Van Mierop ( 1765 ) 97 ER 1035 Stilk v Myrick ( 1809 ) EWHC KB J58 Shadwell v Shadwell ( 1860 ) EWHC CP J88 Callisher v Bischoffsheim ( 1870 ) LR 5 QB 449 Foakes v Beer ( 1884 ) UKHL 1 Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Co ( 1892 ) EWCA Civ 1 Combe v Combe ( 1952 ) EWCA Civ 7 Pao On v Lau Yiu Long ( 1979 ) UKPC 2 Atlas Express Ltd v Kafco ( 1989 ) QB 833 Williams v Roffey Bros Ltd ( 1989 ) EWCA Civ 5 Re Selectmove Ltd ( 1993 ) EWCA Civ 8 see Consideration in English law Consideration is an additional requirement in English law before a contract is enforceable . A person wishing to enforce an agreement must show that they have brought something to the bargain which has `` something of value in the eyes of the law '' , either by conferring a benefit on another person or incurring a detriment at their request . In practice this means not simple gratitude or love , not things already done in the past , and not promising to perform a pre-existing duty unless performance takes place for a third party . Metaphorically , consideration is `` the price for which the promise is bought '' . It is contentious in the sense that it gives rise to a level of complexity that legal systems which do not take their heritage from English law simply do not have . In reality the doctrine of consideration operates in a very small scope , and creates few difficulties in commercial practice . After reform in the United States , especially the Restatement of Contracts § 90 which allows all promises to bind if it would otherwise lead to `` injustice '' , a report in 1937 by the Law Revision Committee , Statute of Frauds and the Doctrine of Consideration , proposed that promises in writing , for past consideration , for part payments of debt , promising to perform pre-existing obligations , promising to keep an offer open , and promises that another relies on to their detriment should all be binding . The report was never enacted in legislation , but almost all of its recommendations have been put into effect through case law since , albeit with difficulty . The old case of Stilk v Myrick held that sailors could not enforce a promise for higher wages for getting home on fewer crew when their contract required them to perform in all emergencies . At the time , there was no doctrine of economic duress , and significant fear of mutiny on the high seas . When a contract is formed , good consideration is needed , and so a gratuitous promise is not binding . That said , while consideration must be of sufficient value in the law 's eyes , it need not reflect an adequate price . Proverbially , one may sell a house for as little as a peppercorn , even if the seller `` does not like pepper and will throw away the corn . '' This means the courts do not generally enquire into the fairness of the exchange , unless there is statutory regulation or ( in specific contexts such as for consumers , employment , or tenancies ) there are two parties of unequal bargaining power . Another difficulty is that consideration for a deal was said not to exist if the thing given was an act done before the promise , such as promising to pay off a loan for money already used to educate a girl . In this situation the courts have long shown themselves willing to hold that the thing done was implicitly relying on the expectation of a reward . More significant problems arise where parties to a contract wish to vary its terms . The old rule , predating the development of the protections in the law of economic duress , was that if one side merely promises to perform a duty which she had already undertaken in return for a higher price , there is no contract . However , in the leading case of Williams v Roffey Bros & Nicholls ( Contractors ) Ltd , the Court of Appeal held that it would be more ready to construe someone performing essentially what they were bound to do before as giving consideration for the new deal if they conferred a `` practical benefit '' on the other side . So , when Williams , a carpenter , was promised by Roffey Bros , the builders , more money to complete work on time , it was held that because Roffey Bros would avoid having to pay a penalty clause for late completion of its own contract , would potentially avoid the expense of litigation and had a slightly more sensible mechanism for payments , these were enough . Speaking of consideration , Russell LJ stated that , `` courts nowadays should be more ready to find its existence ... where the bargaining powers are not unequal and where the finding of consideration reflects the true intention of the parties . '' In other words , in the context of contractual variations , the definition of consideration has been watered down . However , in one situation the `` practical benefit '' analysis can not be invoked , namely where the agreed variation is to reduce debt repayments . In Foakes v Beer , the House of Lords held that even though Mrs Beer promised Mr Foakes he could pay back £ 2090 19 s by instalment and without interest , she could subsequently change her mind and demand the whole sum . Despite Lord Blackburn registering a note of dissent in that case and other doubts , the Court of Appeal held in Re Selectmove Ltd , that it was bound by the precedent of the Lords and could not deploy the `` practical benefit '' reasoning of Williams for any debt repayment cases . Estoppel cases Dillwyn v Llwellyn ( 1862 ) 4 De GF&J 517 Hughes v Metropolitan Railway Co ( 1877 ) High Trees case ( 1947 ) KB 130 Combe v Combe ( 1952 ) D & C Builders v Rees ( 1965 ) Ogilvy v Hope Davies ( 1976 ) 1 All ER 683 Crabb v Arun DC ( 1975 ) Waltons Stores Ltd v Maher ( 1988 ) 164 CLR 387 Jennings v Rice ( 2002 ) Collier v P&MJ Wright ( Holdings ) Ltd ( 2007 ) Yeomans Row Management Ltd v Cobbe ( 2008 ) see Estoppel in English law However , consideration is a doctrine deriving from the common law , and can be suspended under the principles of equity . Historically , England had two separate court systems , and the Courts of Chancery which derived their ultimate authority from the King via the Lord Chancellor , took precedence over the common law courts . So does its body of equitable principles since the systems were merged in 1875 . The doctrine of promissory estoppel holds that when one person gives an assurance to another , the other relies on it and it would be inequitable to go back on the assurance , that person will be estopped from doing so : an analogue of the maxim that nobody should profit from their own wrong ( nemo auditur propriam turpitudinem allegans ) . So in Hughes v Metropolitan Railway Co the House of Lords held that a tenant could not be ejected by the landlord for failing to keep up with his contractual repair duties because starting negotiations to sell the property gave the tacit assurance that the repair duties were suspended . And in Central London Properties Ltd v High Trees House Ltd Denning J held that a landlord would be estopped from claiming normal rent during the years of World War II because he had given an assurance that half rent could be paid till the war was done . The Court of Appeal went even further in a recent debt repayment case , Collier v P&M J Wright ( Holdings ) Ltd . Arden LJ argued that a partner who had been assured he was only liable to repay one third of the partnership 's debts , rather than be jointly and severally liable for the whole , had relied on the assurance by making repayments , and it was inequitable for the finance company to later demand full repayment of the debt . Hence , promissory estoppel could circumvent the common law rule of Foakes . Promissory estoppel , however , has been thought to be incapable of raising an independent cause of action , so that one may only plead another party is estopped from enforcing their strict legal rights as a `` shield '' , but can not bring a cause of action out of estoppel as a `` sword '' . In Australia , this rule was relaxed in Walton Stores ( Interstate ) Ltd v Maher , where Mr Maher was encouraged to believe he would have a contract to sell his land , and began knocking down his existing building before Walton Stores finally told him they did not wish to complete . Mr Maher got generous damages covering his loss ( i.e. reliance damages , but seemingly damages for loss of expectations as if there were a contract ) . Yet , where an assurance concerns rights over property , a variant `` proprietary estoppel '' does allow a claimant to plead estoppel as a cause of action . So in Crabb v Arun District Council , Mr Crabbe was assured he would have the right to an access point to his land by Arun District Council , and relying on that he sold off half the property where the only existing access point was . The council was estopped from not doing what they said they would . Given the complex route of legal reasoning to reach simple solutions , it is unsurprising that a number of commentators , as well as the Principles of European Contract Law have called for simple abandonment of the doctrine of consideration , leaving the basic requirements of agreement and an intention to create legal relations . Such a move would also dispense with the need for the common law doctrine of privity . Privity ( edit ) Privity of contract cases Dutton v Poole ( 1678 ) Tomlinson v Gill ( 1756 ) Ambler 330 Tweddle v Atkinson ( 1861 ) EWHC J57 ( QB ) Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre v Selfridge & Co Ltd ( 1915 ) AC 847 De Cicco v Schweizer , 117 N.E. 807 ( 1917 ) Smith and Snipes Hall Farm Ltd ( 1949 ) 2 KB 500 Scruttons Ltd v Midland Silicones Ltd ( 1961 ) UKHL 4 Beswick v Beswick ( 1967 ) UKHL 2 Dutton v Bognor Regis UDC ( 1972 ) 1 QB 373 Jackson v Horizon Holidays Ltd ( 1974 ) EWCA Civ 12 The Eurymedon ( 1974 ) ( 1 ) Woodar Ltd v Wimpey Ltd ( 1980 ) UKHL 11 Linden Gardens Trust v Lenesta Sludge ( 1993 ) UKHL 4 Contracts ( Rights of Third Parties ) Act 1999 ( 2003 ) EWHC 2602 ( Comm ) see Privity in English law See also : Privity in English law and Privity of contract The common law of privity of contract is a sub-rule of consideration because it restricts who can enforce an agreement to those who have brought consideration to the bargain . In an early case , Tweddle v Atkinson , it was held that because a son had not given any consideration for his father in law 's promise to his father to pay the son £ 200 , he could not enforce the promise . Given the principle that standing to enforce an obligation should reflect whoever has a legitimate interest in its performance , a 1996 report by the Law Commission entitled Privity of Contract : Contracts for the Benefit of Third Parties , recommended that while courts should be left free to develop the common law , some of the more glaring injustices should be removed . This led to the Contracts ( Rights of Third Parties ) Act 1999 . Under section 1 , a third party may enforce an agreement if it purports to confer a benefit on the third party , either individually or a member as a class , and there is no expressed stipulation that the person was not intended to be able to enforce it . In this respect there is a strong burden on the party claiming enforcement was not intended by a third party . A third party has the same remedies available as a person privy to an agreement , and can enforce both positive benefits , or limits on liability , such as an exclusion clause . The rights of a third party can then only be terminated or withdrawn without her consent if it is reasonably foreseeable that she would rely upon them . In the River Douglas Catchment Board case Denning LJ delivered the first of many critiques of the privity rule , before CRTPA 1999 . The 1999 Act 's reforms mean a number of old cases would be decided differently today . In Beswick v Beswick while the House of Lords held that Mrs Beswick could specifically enforce a promise of her nephew to her deceased husband to pay her £ 5 weekly in her capacity as administratrix of the will , the 1999 Act would also allow her to claim as a third party . In Scruttons Ltd v Midland Silicones Ltd it would have been possible for a stevedore firm to claim the benefit of a limitation clause in a contract between a carrier and the owner of a damaged drum of chemicals . Lord Denning dissented , arguing for abolition of the rule , and Lord Reid gave an opinion that if a bill of lading expressly conferred the benefit of a limitation on the stevedores , the stevedores give authority to the carrier to do that , and `` difficulties about consideration moving from the stevedore were overcome '' then the stevedores could benefit . In The Eurymedon , Lord Reid 's inventive solution was applied where some stevedores similarly wanted the benefit of an exclusion clause after dropping a drilling machine , the consideration being found as the stevedores performing their pre-existing contractual duty for the benefit of the third party ( the drilling machine owner ) . Now none of this considerably technical analysis is required , given that any contract purporting to confer a benefit on a third party may in principle be enforced by the third party . Given that the 1999 Act preserves the promisee 's right to enforce the contract as it stood at common law , an outstanding issue is to what extent a promisee can claim damages for a benefit on behalf of a third party , if he has suffered no personal loss . In Jackson v Horizon Holidays Ltd , Lord Denning MR held that a father could claim damages for disappointment ( beyond the financial cost ) of a terrible holiday experience on behalf of his family . However , a majority of the House of Lords in Woodar Investment Development Ltd v Wimpey Construction UK Ltd disapproved any broad ability of a party to a contract to claim damages on behalf of a third party , except perhaps in a limited set of consumer contracts . There is disagreement about whether this will remain the case . Difficulties also remain in cases involving houses built with defects , which are sold to a buyer , who subsequently sells to a third party . It appears that neither the initial buyer can claim on behalf of the third party , and nor will the third party be able to claim under the 1999 Act , as they will typically not be identified by the original contract ( or known ) in advance . Apart from this instance relating to tort , in practice the doctrine of privity is entirely ignored in numerous situations , throughout the law of trusts and agency . Construction ( edit ) Main article : Contractual terms in English law As the Great Exhibition 1851 saw the height of industrial commerce in the British Empire , and the depths of Dickensian poverty , English contract law fashioned a theory of freedom of contract , or laissez faire . Today the law aims for fairness where one contracting party ( e.g. a consumer , employee or tenant ) is much less `` free '' due unequal bargaining power . If an enforceable agreement -- a contract -- exists , the details of the contract 's terms matter if one party has allegedly broken the agreement . A contract 's terms are what was promised . Yet it is up to the courts to construe evidence of what the parties said before a contract 's conclusion , and construe the terms agreed . Construction of the contract starts with the express promises people make to one another , but also with terms found in other documents or notices that were intended to be incorporated . The general rule is that reasonable notice of the term is needed , and more notice is needed for an onerous term . The meaning of those terms must then be interpreted , and the modern approach is to construe the meaning of an agreement from the perspective of a reasonable person with knowledge of the whole context . The courts , as well as legislation , may also imply terms into contracts generally to ' fill gaps ' as necessary to fulfil the reasonable expectations of the parties , or as necessary incidents to specific contracts . English law had , particularly in the late 19th century , adhered to the laissez faire principle of `` freedom of contract '' so that , in the general law of contract , people can agree to whatever terms or conditions they choose . By contrast , specific contracts , particularly for consumers , employees or tenants were built to carry a minimum core of rights , mostly deriving from statute , that aim to secure the fairness of contractual terms . The evolution of case law in the 20th century generally shows an ever - clearer distinction between general contracts among commercial parties and those between parties of unequal bargaining power , since in these groups of transaction true choice is thought to be hampered by lack of real competition in the market . Hence , some terms can be found to be unfair under statutes such as the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 or the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contract Regulations 1999 and can be removed by the courts , with the administrative assistance of the Competition and Markets Authority . Incorporation of terms ( edit ) Main article : Incorporation of terms in English law Incorporating contract terms Oscar Chess Ltd v Williams ( 1956 ) EWCA Civ 5 Parker v South Eastern Railway Company ( 1877 ) 2 CPD 416 L'Estrange v F Graucob Ltd ( 1934 ) 2 KB 394 Chapelton v Barry UDC ( 1940 ) 1 KB 532 J Spurling Ltd v Bradshaw ( 1956 ) EWCA Civ 3 Olley v Marlborough Court ( 1949 ) 1 KB 532 McCutcheon v David MacBrayne Ltd ( 1964 ) UKHL 4 Henry Kendall Ltd v William Lillico Ltd ( 1969 ) 2 AC 31 Thornton v Shoe Lane Parking ( 1970 ) EWCA Civ 2 Hollier v Rambler Motors Ltd ( 1971 ) EWCA Civ 12 Interfoto v Stiletto ( 1987 ) EWCA Civ 6 O'Brien v MGN Ltd ( 2001 ) EWCA Civ 1279 Incorporation of terms in English law The promises offered by one person to another are the terms of a contract , but not every representation before an acceptance will always count as a term . The basic rule of construction is that a representation is a term if it looked like it was `` intended '' to be from the viewpoint of a reasonable person . It matters how much importance is attached to the term by the parties themselves , but also as a way to protect parties of lesser means , the courts added that someone who is in a more knowledgeable position will be more likely to be taken to have made a promise , rather than a mere representation . In Oscar Chess Ltd v Williams Mr Williams sold a Morris car to a second hand dealer and wrongly ( but in good faith , relying on a forged log - book ) said it was a 1948 model when it was really from 1937 . The Court of Appeal held that the car dealer could not later claim breach of contract because they were in a better position to know the model . By contrast , in Dick Bentley Productions Ltd v Harold Smith ( Motors ) Ltd the Court of Appeal held that when a car dealer sold a Bentley to a customer , mistakenly stating it had done 20,000 miles when the true figure was 100,000 miles , this was intended to become a term because the car dealer was in a better position to know . A misrepresentation may also generate the right to cancel ( or `` rescind '' ) the contract and claim damages for `` reliance '' losses ( as if the statement had not been made , and so to get one 's money back ) . But if the representation is also a contract term a claimant may also get damages reflecting `` expected '' profits ( as if the contract were performed as promised ) , though often the two measures coincide . Parker v South Eastern Rly Co , a case from Charing Cross station , held to incorporate terms , people need to give reasonable notice of them before a contract . When a contract is written down , there is a basic presumption that the written document will conterms of an agreement , and when commercial parties sign documents every term referred to in the document binds them , unless the term is found to be unfair , the signed document is merely an administrative paper , or under the very limited defence of non est factum . The rules differ in principle for employment contracts , and consumer contracts , or wherever a statutory right is engaged , and so the signature rule matters most in commercial dealings , where businesses place a high value on certainty . If a statement is a term , and the contracting party has not signed a document , then terms may be incorporated by reference to other sources , or through a course of dealing . The basic rule , set out in Parker v South Eastern Railway Company , is that reasonable notice of a term is required to bind someone . Here Mr Parker left his coat in the Charing Cross railway station cloakroom and was given a ticket that on the back said liability for loss was limited to £ 10 . The Court of Appeal sent this back to trial for a jury ( as existed at the time ) to determine . The modern approach is to add that if a term is particularly onerous , greater notice with greater clarity ought to be given . Denning LJ in J Spurling Ltd v Bradshaw famously remarked that `` Some clauses which I have seen would need to be printed in red ink on the face of the document with a red hand pointing to it before the notice could be held to be sufficient . '' In Thornton v Shoe Lane Parking Ltd a car park ticket referring to a notice inside the car park was insufficient to exclude the parking lot 's liability for personal injury of customers on its premises . In Interfoto Picture Library Ltd v Stiletto Ltd Bingham LJ held that a notice inside a jiffy bag of photographic transparencies about a fee for late return of the transparencies ( which would have totalled £ 3,783.50 for 47 transparencies after only a month ) was too onerous a term to be incorporated without clear notice . By contrast in O'Brien v MGN Ltd Hale LJ held that the failure of the Daily Mirror to say in every newspaper that if there were too many winners in its free draw for £ 50,000 that there would be another draw was not so onerous on the disappointed `` winners '' as to prevent incorporation of the term . It can also be that a regular and consistent course of dealings between two parties lead the terms from previous dealings to be incorporated into future ones . In Hollier v Rambler Motors Ltd the Court of Appeal held that Mr Hollier , whose car was burnt in a fire caused by a careless employee at Rambler Motors ' garage , was not bound by a clause excluding liability for `` damage caused by fire '' on the back of an invoice which he had seen three or four times in visits over the last five years . This was not regular or consistent enough . But in British Crane Hire Corporation Ltd v Ipswich Plant Hire Ltd Lord Denning MR held that a company hiring a crane was bound by a term making them pay for expenses of recovering the crane when it sunk into marshland , after only one prior dealing . Of particular importance was the equal bargaining power of the parties . Interpretation ( edit ) Main article : Interpreting contracts in English law Construing contract terms Smith v Hughes ( 1871 ) LR 6 QB 597 Hartog v Colin & Shields ( 1939 ) 3 All ER 566 Canada Steamship Lines v R ( 1952 ) AC 192 Rose Ltd v Pim Ltd ( 1953 ) 2 QB 450 The Diana Prosperity ( 1976 ) 1 WLR 989 Photo Production Ltd v Securicor Transport Ltd ( 1980 ) UKHL 2 Thake v Maurice ( 1986 ) QB 644 ICS Ltd v West Bromwich BS ( 1997 ) UKHL 28 HIH Casualty Ltd v Chase Manhattan Bank ( 2003 ) UKHL 6 Chartbrook Ltd v Persimmon Homes Ltd ( 2009 ) UKHL 38 Oceanbulk Shipping SA v TMT Asia Ltd ( 2010 ) UKSC 44 Interpreting contracts in English law All English contracts are , after ICS Ltd v West Browmwich BS , involving a compensation scheme for poorly advised investors , interpreted objectively and in their context . One it is established which terms are incorporated into an agreement , their meaning must be determined . Since the introduction of legislation regulating unfair terms , English courts have become firmer in their general guiding principle that agreements are construed to give effect to the intentions of the parties from the standpoint of a reasonable person . This changed significantly from the early 20th century , when English courts had become enamoured with a literalist theory of interpretation , championed in part by Lord Halsbury . As greater concern grew around the mid-20th century over unfair terms , and particularly exclusion clauses , the courts swung to the opposite position , utilising heavily the doctrine of contra proferentum . Ambiguities in clauses excluding or limiting one party 's liability would be construed against the person relying on it . In the leading case , Canada Steamship Lines Ltd v R the Crown 's shed in Montreal harbour burnt down , destroying goods owned by Canada Steamship lines . Lord Morton held that a clause in the contract limiting the Crown 's excluding liability for `` damage ... to ... goods ... being ... in the said shed '' was not enough to excuse it from liability for negligence because the clause could also be construed as referring to strict liability under another contract clause . It would exclude that instead . Some judges , and in particular Lord Denning wished to go further by introducing a rule of `` fundamental breach of contract '' whereby no liability for very serious breaches of contract could be excluded at all . While the rules remain ready for application where statute may not help , such hostile approaches to interpretation were generally felt to run contrary to the plain meaning of language . Reflecting the modern position since unfair terms legislation was enacted , the most quoted passage in English courts on the canons of interpretation is found in Lord Hoffmann 's judgment in ICS Ltd v West Bromwich BS . Lord Hoffmann restated the law that a document 's meaning is what it would mean ( 1 ) to a reasonable person ( 2 ) with knowledge of the context , or the whole matrix of fact ( 3 ) except prior negotiations ( 4 ) and meaning does not follow what the dictionary says but meaning understood from its context ( 5 ) and the meaning should not contradict common sense . The objective is always to give effect to the intentions of the parties . While it remains the law for reasons of litigation cost , there is some contention over how far evidence of prior negotiations should be excluded by the courts . It appears increasingly clear that the courts may adduce evidence of negotiations where it would clearly assist in construing the meaning of an agreement . This approach to interpretation has some overlap with the right of the parties to seek `` rectification '' of a document , or requesting from a court to read a document not literally but with regard to what the parties can otherwise show was really intended . Implied terms ( edit ) Main article : Implied terms in English law Implied terms cases Hutton v Warren ( 1836 ) EWHC Exch J61 The Moorcock ( 1889 ) 14 PD 64 Southern Foundries ( 1926 ) Ltd v Shirlaw ( 1940 ) AC 701 Liverpool CC v Irwin ( 1976 ) UKHL 1 Johnstone v Bloomsbury HA ( 1991 ) 2 All ER 293 Scally v Southern Health Board ( 1992 ) 1 AC 294 Malik v BCCI SA ( 1997 ) UKHL 23 Equitable Life Assurance Society v Hyman ( 2000 ) UKHL 39 Baird Textile Holdings Ltd v M&S plc ( 2001 ) EWCA Civ 274 AG of Belize v Belize Telecom Ltd ( 2009 ) UKPC 10 Carter v Boehm ( 1766 ) 97 ER 1162 Yam Seng Pte Ltd v Int Trade Corp Ltd ( 2013 ) EWHC 111 Bhasin v. Hrynew 2014 SCC 71 Implied terms in English law `` The foundation of contract is the reasonable expectation , which the person who promises raises in the person to whom he binds himself ; of which the satisfaction may be exerted by force . '' Adam Smith , Lectures on Jurisprudence ( 1763 ) Part I , Introduction Part of the process of construction includes the courts and statute implying terms into agreements . Courts imply terms , as a general rule , when the express terms of a contract leave a gap to be filled . Given their basic attachment to contractual freedom , the courts are reluctant to override express terms for contracting parties . Legislation can also be a source of implied terms , and may be overridden by agreement of the parties , or have a compulsory character . For contracts in general , individualised terms are implied ( terms `` implied in fact '' ) to reflect the `` reasonable expectations of the parties '' , and like the process of interpretation , implication of a term of a commercial contract must follow from its commercial setting . In Equitable Life Assurance Society v Hyman the House of Lords held ( in a notorious decision ) that `` guaranteed annuity rate '' policy holders of the life insurance company could not have their bonus rates lowered by the directors , when the company was in financial difficulty , if it would undermine all the policy holders ' `` reasonable expectations '' . Lord Steyn said that a term should be implied in the policy contract that the directors ' discretion was limited , as this term was `` strictly necessary ... essential to give effect to the reasonable expectations of the parties '' . This objective , contextual formulation of the test for individualised implied terms represents a shift from the older and subjective formulation of the implied term test , asking like an `` officious bystander '' what the parties `` would have contracted for '' if they had applied their minds to a gap in the contract . In AG of Belize v Belize Telecom Ltd , Lord Hoffmann in the Privy Council added that the process of implication is to be seen as part of the overall process of interpretation : designed to fulfill the reasonable expectations of the parties in their context . The custom of the trade may also be a source of an implied term , if it is `` certain , notorious , reasonable , recognised as legally binding and consistent with the express terms '' . The leading case on implied terms , Equitable Life Assurance Society v Hyman , held individualised terms are implied when essential to reflect the parties ' `` reasonable expectations '' . The Equitable Life directors defeated their customers expectations , and this ultimately led to its collapse . Its archives are now housed at Staple Inn , Holborn . In specific contracts , such as those for sales of goods , between a landlord and tenant , or in employment , the courts imply standardised contractual terms ( or terms `` implied in law '' ) . Such terms set out a menu of `` default rules '' that generally apply in absence of true agreement to the contrary . In one instance of partial codification , the Sale of Goods Act 1893 summed up all the standard contractual provisions in typical commercial sales agreements developed by the common law . This is now updated in the Sale of Goods Act 1979 , and in default of people agreeing something different in general its terms will apply . For instance , under section 12 - 14 , any contract for sale of goods carries the implied terms that the seller has legal title , that it will match prior descriptions and that it is of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose . Similarly the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 section 13 says services must be performed with reasonable care and skill . As a matter of common law the test is what terms are a `` necessary incident '' to the specific type of contract in question . This test derives from Liverpool City Council v Irwin where the House of Lords held that , although fulfilled on the facts of the case , a landlord owes a duty to tenants in a block of flats to keep the common parts in reasonable repair . In employment contracts , multiple standardised implied terms arise also , even before statute comes into play , for instance to give employees adequate information to make a judgment about how to take advantage of their pension entitlements . The primary standardised employment term is that both employer and worker owe one another an obligation of `` mutual trust and confidence '' . Mutual trust and confidence can be undermined in multiple ways , primarily where an employer 's repulsive conduct means a worker can treat herself as being constructively dismissed . In Mahmud and Malik v Bank of Credit and Commerce International SA the House of Lords held the duty was breached by the employer running the business as a cover for numerous illegal activities . The House of Lords has repeated that the term may always be excluded , but this has been disputed because unlike a contract for goods or services among commercial parties , an employment relation is characterised by unequal bargaining power between employer and worker . In Johnstone v Bloomsbury Health Authority the Court of Appeal all held that a junior doctor could not be made to work at an average of 88 hours a week , even though this was an express term of his contract , where it would damage his health . However , one judge said that result followed from application of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 , one judge said it was because at common law express terms could be construed in the light of implied terms , and one judge said implied terms may override express terms . Even in employment , or in consumer affairs , English courts remain divided about the extent to which they should depart from the basic paradigm of contractual freedom , that is , in absence of legislation .

They were printed in small print on the back of tickets and order forms and invoices . They were contained in catalogues or timetables . They were held to be binding on any person who took them without objection . No one ever did object . He never read them or knew what was in them . No matter how unreasonable they were , he was bound . All this was done in the name of `` freedom of contract . '' But the freedom was all on the side of the big concern which had the use of the printing press . No freedom for the little man who took the ticket or order form or invoice . The big concern said , `` Take it or leave it . '' The little man had no option but to take it ... When the courts said to the big concern , `` You must put it in clear words , '' the big concern had no hesitation in doing so . It knew well that the little man would never read the exemption clauses or understand them . It was a bleak winter for our law of contract . '' Lord Denning MR in George Mitchell Ltd v Finney Lock Seeds Ltd ( 1982 ) EWCA Civ 5 In the late 20th century , Parliament passed its first comprehensive incursion into the doctrine of contractual freedom in the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 . The topic of unfair terms is vast , and could equally include specific contracts falling under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 , the Employment Rights Act 1996 or the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 . Legislation , particularly regarding consumer protection , is also frequently being updated by the European Union , in laws like the Flight Delay Compensation Regulation , or the Electronic Commerce Directive , which are subsequently translated into domestic law through a statutory instrument authorised through the European Communities Act 1972 section 2 ( 2 ) , as for example with the Consumer Protection ( Distance Selling ) Regulations 2000 . The primary legislation on unfair consumer contract terms deriving from the EU is found in the Consumer Rights Act 2015 . The Law Commission had drafted a unified Unfair Contract Terms Bill , but Parliament chose to maintain two extensive documents . The Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 regulates clauses that exclude or limit terms implied by the common law or statute . Its general pattern is that if clauses restrict liability , particularly negligence , of one party , the clause must pass the `` reasonableness test '' in section 11 and Schedule 2 . This looks at the ability of either party to get insurance , their bargaining power and their alternatives for supply , and a term 's transparency . In places the Act goes further . Section 2 ( 1 ) strikes down any term that would limit liability for a person 's death or personal injury . Section 2 ( 2 ) stipulates that any clause restricting liability for loss to property has to pass the `` reasonableness test '' . One of the first cases , George Mitchell Ltd v Finney Lock Seeds Ltd saw a farmer successfully claim that a clause limiting the liability of a cabbage seed seller to damages for replacement seed , rather than the far greater loss of profits after crop failure , was unreasonable . The sellers were in a better position to get insurance for the loss than the buyers . Under section 3 businesses can not limit their liability for breach of contract if they are dealing with `` consumers '' , defined in section 12 as someone who is not dealing in the course of business with someone who is , or if they are using a written standard form contract , unless the term passes the reasonableness test . Section 6 states the implied terms of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 can not be limited unless reasonable . If one party is a `` consumer '' then the SGA 1979 terms become compulsory under the CRA 2015 . In other words , a business can never sell a consumer goods that do not work , even if the consumer signed a document with full knowledge of the exclusion clause . Under section 13 , it is added that variations on straightforward exemption clauses will still count as exemption clauses caught by the Act . So for example , in Smith v Eric S Bush the House of Lords held that a surveyor 's term limiting liability for negligence was ineffective , after the chimney came crashing through Mr Smith 's roof . The surveyor could get insurance more easily than Mr Smith . Even though there was no contract between them , because section 1 ( 1 ) ( b ) applies to any notice excluding liability for negligence , and even though the surveyor 's exclusion clause might prevent a duty of care arising at common law , section 13 `` catches '' it if liability would exist `` but for '' the notice excluding liability : then the exclusion is potentially unfair .

( 2014 ) C - 34 / 13 Unfair Commercial Practices Directive 2005 Consumer Rights Directive 2011 See also EU law The Office of Fair Trading , just off Fleet Street , used to have jurisdiction to take up consumer protection cases after receiving complaints . It was abolished in 2013 , and its functions split between the Competition and Markets Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority . Relatively few cases are ever brought directly by consumers , given the complexity of litigation , cost , and its worth if claims are small . In order to ensure consumer protection laws are actually enforced , the Competition and Markets Authority has jurisdiction to bring consumer regulation cases on behalf of consumers after receiving complaints . Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 section 70 and Schedule 3 , the CMA has jurisdiction to collect and consider complaints , and then seek injunctions in the courts to stop businesses using unfair terms ( under any legislation ) . The CRA 2015 is formally broader than UCTA 1977 in that it covers any unfair terms , not just exemption clauses , but narrower in that it only operates for consumer contracts . Under section 2 , a consumer is an `` individual acting for purposes that are wholly or mainly outside that individual 's trade , business , craft or profession . '' However , while the United Kingdom could always opt for greater protection , when it translated the Directive into national law it opted to follow the bare minimum requirements , and not to cover every contract term . Under section 64 , a court may only assess the fairness of terms that do not specify `` the main subject matter of the contract '' , or terms which relate to `` appropriateness of the price payable '' of the thing sold . Outside such `` core '' terms , a term may be unfair , under section 62 if it is not one that is individually negotiated , and if contrary to good faith it causes a significant imbalance in the rights and obligations of the parties . A list of examples of unfair terms are set out in Schedule 2 . In DGFT v First National Bank plc the House of Lords held that given the purpose of consumer protection , the predecessor to section 64 should be construed tightly and Lord Bingham stated good faith implies fair , open and honest dealing . This all meant that the bank 's practice of charging its ( higher ) default interest rate to customers who had ( lower ) interest rate set by a court under a debt restructuring plan could be assessed for fairness , but the term did not create such an imbalance given the bank wished only to have its normal interest . This appeared to grant a relatively open role for the Office of Fair Trading to intervene against unfair terms . However , in OFT v Abbey National plc the Supreme Court held that if a term related in any way to price , it could not by virtue of section 64 be assessed for fairness . All the High Street banks , including Abbey National , had a practice of charging high fees if account holders , unplanned , exceeded through withdrawals their normal overdraft limit . Overturning a unanimous Court of Appeal , the Supreme Court viewed that if the thing being charged for was part of a `` package '' of services , and the bank 's remuneration for its services partly came from these fees , then there could be no assessment of the fairness of terms . This controversial stance was tempered by their Lordships ' emphasis that any charges must be wholly transparent , though its compatibility with EU law is not yet established by the European Court of Justice , and it appears questionable that it would be decided the same way if inequality of bargaining power had been taken into account , as the Directive requires . Termination and remedies ( edit ) Clauses governing when a contract can be terminated , and what remedies are available are particularly important in commercial contracts , such as for shipping and the sale of goods , to achieve business certainty . Although promises are made to be kept , parties to an agreement are generally free to determine how a contract is terminated , can be terminated and remedial consequences for breach of contract , just as they can generally determine a contract 's content . The courts have fashioned only residual limits on the parties ' autonomy to determine how a contract terminates . The courts ' default , or standard rules , which are generally alterable , are first that a contract is automatically concluded if it becomes impossible for one party to perform . Second , if one party breaches her side of the bargain in a serious way , the other party may cease his own performance . If a breach is not serious , the innocent party must continue his own obligations but may claim a remedy in court for the defective or imprecise performance he has received . Third , the principle remedy for breach of contract is compensatory damages , limited to losses that one might reasonably expect to result from a breach . This means a sum of money to put the claimant in mostly the same position as if the contract breaker had performed her obligations . In a small number of contract cases , closely analogous to property or trust obligations , a court may order restitution by the contract breaker so that any gains she has made by breaking the agreement will be stripped and given to the innocent party . Additionally where a contract 's substance is for something so unique that damages would be an inadequate remedy courts may use their discretion to grant an injunction against the contract breaker doing something or , unless it is a personal service , positively order specific performance of the contract terms . Performance and breach ( edit ) Performance and breach cases Cutter v Powell ( 1795 ) EWHC KB J 13 Sumpter v Hedges ( 1898 ) 1 QB 673 Hoenig v Isaacs ( 1952 ) EWCA Civ 6 Bolton v Mahadeva ( 1972 ) EWCA Civ 5 Workers Trust v Dojap Investments Ltd ( 1993 ) UKPC 7 Union Eagle Ltd v Golden Achievement Ltd ( 1997 ) UKPC 5 Dunlop Tyre Co Ltd v New Garage Co Ltd ( 1914 ) UKHL 1 Murray v Leisureplay plc ( 2005 ) EWCA Civ 963 UTCCR 1999 ( SI 1999 / 2083 ) Sch 2 ( 1 ) ( d ) - ( e ) Southcott Estates Inc. v. Toronto Catholic District School Board 2012 SCC 51 , ( 2012 ) 2 SCR 675 see Remedies in English law See also : Breach of contract Generally speaking , all parties to a contract must precisely perform their obligations or there is a breach of contract and , at the least , damages can be claimed . However , as a starting point , to claim that someone else has breached their side of a bargain , one must have at least `` substantially performed '' their own obligations . For example , in Sumpter v Hedges a builder performed £ 333 worth of work , but then abandoned completion of the contract . The Court of Appeal held he could not recover any money for the building left on the land , even though the buyer subsequently used the foundations to complete the job . This rule provides a powerful remedy in home construction cases to a customer . So in Bolton v Mahadeva Mr Bolton installed a £ 560 heating system in Mahadeva 's house . However , it leaked and would cost £ 174 to correct ( i.e. 31 % of the price ) . Mahadeva did not pay at all , and the Court of Appeal held this was lawful because the performance was so defective that there could not be said to be any substantial performance . However where an obligation in a contract is `` substantially performed '' , the full sum must be paid , only then deducting an amount to reflect the breach . So in Hoenig v Isaacs Denning LJ held a builder who installed a bookcase poorly , with a price of £ 750 but costing only £ 55 to correct ( i.e. 7.3 % of the price ) , had to be paid minus the cost of correction . If a contract 's obligations are construed as consisting of an `` entire obligation '' , performance of it all will be a condition precedent ( a requirement before ) to performance from the other side falling due , and allowing a breach of contract claim . In the simplest case of a contractual breach , the performance that was owed will merely be the payment of a provable debt ( an agreed sum of money ) . In this case , the Sale of Goods Act 1979 section 49 allows for a summary action for price of goods or services , meaning a quick set of court procedure rules are followed . Consumers also benefit under sections 48A - E , with a specific right to have a broken product to be repaired . An added benefit is that if a claimant brings an action for debt , she or he will have no further duty to mitigate his loss . This was another requirement that common law courts had invented , before a claim for breach of contract could be enforced . For instance , in contracts for services that spanned a long period of time ( e.g. 5 years ) , the courts would often state that because a claimant should be able to find alternative work in a few months , and so should not receive money for the whole contract 's duration . However , White & Carter ( Councils ) Ltd v McGregor an advertising company had a contract to display adverts for McGregor 's garage business on public dustbins . McGregor said he wished to cancel the deal , but White & Carter Ltd refused , displayed the adverts anyway , and demanded the full sum of money . McGregor argued that they should have attempted to mitigate their loss by finding other clients , but the majority of the Lords held there was no further duty to mitigate . Claims in debt were different from damages . Remedies are often agreed in a contract , so that if one side fails to perform the contract will dictate what happens . A simple , common and automatic remedy is to have taken a deposit , and to retain it in the event of non-performance . However , the courts will often treat any deposit that exceeds 10 per cent of the contract price as excessive . A special justification will be required before any greater sum may be retained as a deposit . The courts will view a large deposit , even if expressed in crystal clear language , as a part payment of the contract which if unperformed must be restored in order to prevent unjust enrichment . Nevertheless , where commercial parties of equal bargaining power wish to insist on circumstances in which a deposit will be forfeit and insist precisely on the letter of their deal , the courts will not interfere . In Union Eagle Ltd v Golden Achievement Ltd a purchaser of a building in Hong Kong for HK $ 4.2 million had a contract stipulating completion must take place by 5 pm on 30 September 1991 and that if not a 10 per cent deposit would be forfeited and the contract rescinded . The purchaser was 10 minutes late only , but the Privy Council advised that given the necessity of certain rules and to remove business ' fear of courts exercising unpredictable discretion , the agreement would be strictly enforced . Agreements may also state that , as opposed to a sum fixed by the courts , a particular sum of `` liquidated damages '' will be paid upon non-performance . The courts place an outer - limit on liquidated damages clauses if they became so high , or `` extravagant and unconscionable '' as to look like a penalty . Penalty clauses in contracts are generally not enforceable . However this jurisdiction is exercised rarely , so in Murray v Leisureplay plc the Court of Appeal held that a severance payment of a whole year 's salary to a company 's Chief Executive in the event of dismissal before a year was not a penalty clause . Additionally , the ability of courts to strike down clauses as penalties only applies to clauses for payment of money upon the breach of the contract rather than events during its performance , though the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 confers jurisdiction to interfere with unfair terms used against consumers .

Early common law cases held that performance of a contract always had to take place . No matter what hardship was encountered contracting parties had absolute liability on their obligations . In the 19th century the courts developed a doctrine that contracts which became impossible to perform would be frustrated and automatically come to an end . In Taylor v Caldwell Blackburn J held that when the Surrey Gardens Music Hall unexpectedly burnt down , the owners did not have to pay compensation to the business that had leased it for an extravagant performance , because it was neither party 's fault . An assumption underlying all contracts ( a `` condition precedent '' ) is that they are possible to perform . People would not ordinarily contract to do something they knew was going to be impossible . Apart from physical impossibility , frustration could be down to a contract becoming illegal to perform , for instance if war breaks out and the government bans trade to a belligerent country , or perhaps if the whole purpose of an agreement is destroyed by another event , like renting a room to watch a cancelled coronation parade . But a contract is not frustrated merely because a subsequent event makes the agreement harder to perform than expected , as for instance in Davis Contractors Ltd v Fareham UDC where a builder unfortunately had to spend more time and money doing a job than he would be paid for because of an unforeseen shortage of labour and supplies . The House of Lords denied his claim for contract to be declared frustrated so he could claim quantum meruit . Because the doctrine of frustration is a matter of construction of the contract , it can be contracted around , through what are called `` force majeure '' clauses . Similarly , a contract can have a force majeure clause that would bring a contract to an end more easily than would common law construction . In The Super Servant Two Wijsmuller BV contracted to hire out a self - propelling barge to J. Lauritzen A / S , who wanted to tow another ship from Japan to Rotterdam , but had a provision stating the contract would terminate if some event made it difficult related to the ' perils or dangers and accidents of the sea ' . Wijsmuller BV also had a choice of whether to provide either The Superservant One or Two . They chose Two and it sank . The Court of Appeal held that the impossibility to perform the agreement was down to Wijsmuller 's own choice , and so it was not frustrated , but that the force majeure clause did cover it . The effect of a contract being frustrated is that it is that both parties are prospectively discharged from performing their side of the bargain . If one side has already paid money over or conferred another valuable benefit , but not got anything in return yet , contrary to the prior common law position , the Law Reform ( Frustrated Contracts ) Act 1943 gives the court discretion to let the claimant recover a ' just sum ' , and that means whatever the court thinks fit in all the circumstances . In Bell v Lever Bros Ltd , a golden parachute deal struck over dinner at the Savoy Hotel was held to still be enforceable despite a mistake about the crooked director 's involvement in a cartel . A related doctrine is `` common mistake '' , which since the decision of Lord Phillips MR in The Great Peace is essentially the same in operation as frustration , except that the event making a contract impossible to perform takes place before , not after , a contract is concluded . A `` common mistake '' differs from the `` mistakes '' that take place between offers and acceptance ( that mean there is no agreement in the first place ) , or the so - called `` mistake about identity '' cases that follow from a fraudulent misrepresentation ( which typically makes a contract voidable , not void , unless in a written document and concluded at a distance ) , because it is based on performance becoming seriously difficult to perform . For instance , in Courturier v Hastie a corn shipment had decayed by the time two businesspeople had contracted for it , and so it was held ( perhaps controversially ) that the seller was not liable , because it was always physically impossible . And in Cooper v Phibbs the House of Lords held that an agreement to lease out a fishery was void because it turned out the lessee was in fact the owner . It is legally impossible to be leased something one owns . Again , the doctrine of common mistake may be contracted around , so in McRae v Commonwealth Disposals Commission it was held that despite the fact that a wrecked ship off the Great Barrier Reef never in fact existed , because a salvage business was actually promised by the Australian government that it was there , there was no common mistake . Like frustration , the doctrine operates only in narrow confines . In Bell v Lever Bros Ltd Lord Atkin stated that a mistake must be of such a ' fundamental character as to constitute an underlying assumption without which the parties would not have entered into the agreements ' . Post-war , Denning LJ added to the doctrine , beyond its narrow legal confines , in line with the more permissive approach recognised throughout civil law countries , most of the Commonwealth and the United States . In Solle v Butcher he held that in equity a contract could be deemed voidable ( rather than outright void ) if it would be ' unconscientious ' for a court to hold someone to a bargain . This gave the courts some flexibility in the kind of remedy they would grant , and could be more generous in the circumstances they allowed escape . But in The Great Peace , Lord Phillips MR said that this more permissive doctrine had been contrary to the House of Lords authority in Bell v Lever Bros Ltd . Although it probably would not have been avoidable under the mistake in equity doctrine anyway , Lord Phillips MR held that a rescue company could not escape from an agreement to save a ship because both parties were mistaken that the distressed vessel was further than they originally thought . The result is that English contract law jealously prevents escape from an agreement , unless there is a serious breach because of the conduct of one party , which gives rise to the right to terminate . Termination ( edit ) Termination cases Boone v Eyre ( 1777 ) 1 H Bl 273 Hochster v De La Tour ( 1853 ) Bettini v Gye ( 1876 ) 1 QBD 183 Poussard v Spiers and Pond ( 1876 ) 1 QBD 410 Arcos Ltd v EA Ronaasen & Son ( 1933 ) The Hong Kong Fir ( 1961 ) White and Carter ( Councils ) Ltd v McGregor ( 1962 ) Schuler AG v Wickman Machine Tool Ltd ( 1973 ) Bunge Corporation v Tradax SA ( 1981 ) The Alaskan Trader ( 1984 ) 1 All ER 129 Rice v Great Yarmouth BC ( 2001 ) 3 LGLR 4 Woodar Ltd v Wimpey Construction UK Ltd ( 1980 ) Main articles : Warranty and Innominate term The third in a trilogy of cases involving Frederick Gye 's colourful tenure as the Royal Opera House manager , Bettini v Gye held the right to terminate is a question of construction . The main way contracts are brought to an untimely end is when one party does not perform the major primary obligations on their side of the bargain . As a rule , if a breach is small the other party must still go ahead and perform his obligations , but will then be able to claim compensation , or a `` secondary obligation '' from the party in breach . If , however , the breach is very big , `` fundamental '' or goes `` to the root of the contract '' , then the innocent party gets the right to elect to terminate his own performance for the future . The same goes where one party makes clear they have no intention of performing their side of the bargain , in an `` anticipatory repudiation '' , so the innocent party can go straight to court to claim a remedy , rather than waiting till the contract 's date for performance which never arrives . The test for whether a term 's breach will allow for termination essentially depends on construction of the contract 's terms as a whole by the court , following the same rules as for any other term . In Bettini v Gye , Blackburn J held that although an opera singer arrived 4 days late for rehearsals , given that the contract was to last three and a half months , and only the first week of performance would be slightly affected , the Opera House owner was not entitled to turn the singer away . The opera owner could have withheld some payment to reflect his loss from the breach , but should have let the show go on . The intentions of the parties manifested in the contract showed that such a breach was not so serious as to give rise to the right to terminate . As Lord Wilberforce said in The Diana Prosperity the Court must , ' place itself in thought in the same factual matrix as that in which the parties were . ' Inspired by Frederick Pollock , the drafter of the Sale of Goods Act 1893 and the Marine Insurance Act 1906 , Mackenzie Chalmers distinguished conditions and warranties as two main kinds of term . While when a contract is silent a court must essentially make an informed choice about whether a right to terminate should exist , if a contract deals with the matter the courts ' general approach is to follow the parties ' wishes . The drafters of the old Sale of Goods Act 1893 distinguished between `` conditions '' ( major terms , which when breached confer a right to terminate ) and `` warranties '' ( minor terms , which do not ) , and under the present Sale of Goods Act 1979 some terms , such as descriptions about quality , are conditions by default . A third kind is an `` innominate term '' , which is typically a vague term like citrus pulp pellets being `` in good condition '' , or a ship having to be `` seaworthy '' . Because such a term could be breached in both a major way ( e.g. the ship sinks ) or a trivial way ( e.g. a lifejacket is missing ) the court will determine whether the right to terminate arises based on how serious in fact the consequences of the breach were . So in The Hong Kong Fir , Lord Diplock held that a ship crew being too incompetent to properly operate the vessel did not breach the contract 's `` seaworthiness '' term in a serious enough way as to allow for termination , because the charterers still got a working boat and could have replaced the crew . If a contract specifies that a particular obligation is a `` condition '' the dominant approach of the courts is to treat it as such . Nevertheless , concerned with the ability of a stronger party to specify the terms it finds most convenient as `` conditions '' at the expense of the weaker , courts retain the ability to construe an agreement contra proferentum . In L Schuler AG v Wickman Machine Tool Sales Ltd the majority of the House of Lords held that clause 7 of a contract , stating it was `` a condition of this agreement '' that Mr Wickman would visit 6 major car companies `` at least once in every week '' to try selling panel presses , was not really a condition in the technical sense . So when Mr Wickman was found to have visited much less , Schuler AG could not dismiss him . This was because clause 11 said that 60 days of warning was needed before Schuler AG could terminate , so the whole contract read together meant the clause 7 had to be subject to clause 11 . The language in the contract is not decisive . If the word `` condition '' is not used , but the contract describes a right to terminate , such as the contract being terminable for `` any breach '' of obligation , the issue is , again , one of construction and the courts may be reluctant to give effect to the plain meaning if it would have `` draconian consequences '' for the weaker party . By contrast , in Bunge Corporation v Tradax SA the House of Lords held that giving notice for a ship to start loading the soya bean cargo four days late , when the contract expressly stipulated the date , should allow the right to terminate regardless of the actual consequences of the breach . In mercantile contracts , ' broadly speaking time will be considered of the essence ' , and so it is highly likely the courts will enforce obligations to the letter . Damages and injunctions ( edit ) Remedies cases Robinson v Harman ( 1848 ) 1 Exch 850 Peevyhouse v. Garland Coal & Mining Co. , 382 P 2d 109 ( 1962 ) Ruxley Electronics Ltd v Forsyth ( 1995 ) Anglia Television Ltd v Reed ( 1972 ) 1 QB 60 Chaplin v Hicks ( 1911 ) 2 KB 786 Jarvis v Swans Tours Ltd ( 1972 ) Farley v Skinner ( 2001 ) Hadley v Baxendale ( 1854 ) The Achilleas ( 2008 ) British Westinghouse Ltd v Underground Ltd ( 1912 ) AC 673 Banco de Portugal v Waterlow ( 1932 ) Saamco v York Montague Ltd ( 1996 ) Sky Petroleum v VIP Petroleum ( 1974 ) 1 WLR 576 Patel v Ali ( 1985 ) Ch 283 Cooperative Insurance Ltd v Argyll Ltd ( 1997 ) Attorney General v Blake ( 2000 ) Wrotham Park Ltd v Parkside Homes Ltd ( 1974 ) 1 WLR 798 Surrey CC v Bredero Homes Ltd ( 1993 ) Rowland v Divall ( 1923 ) 2 KB 500 Dies v British Mining and Finance Corp Ltd ( 1939 ) 1 KB 724 Main articles : Measure of damages in English law , Remoteness in English law , Damages , and Specific performance Whether or not a contract is terminated , every breach of a substantially performed contract gives rise to the right to a remedy . A court 's power to award remedies is the final sanction against non-performance and , unless the defendant is insolvent , the objective is to achieve full compensation for the innocent party as if the contract were performed . This measure of the remedy to protect `` expectations '' forms a principal distinction between contracts as obligations from torts or unjust enrichment . In cases where performance is defective , the courts generally award money for the cost of curing the defect , unless the sum would be disproportionate and another sum would adequately achieve the same compensatory objective . In Ruxley Electronics Ltd v Forsyth although a £ 17,797 swimming pool was built 18 inches too shallow , the land 's market value was exactly the same . The House of Lords ' solution , rather than awarding the cost of rebuilding it at £ 21,560 and rather than reject any award at all , was to reflect the forgone `` consumer surplus '' or the `` loss of amenity '' with an award of £ 2,500 . Greater recognition of benefits in contracts other than purely financial ones has also been seen in cases concerning contracts where pleasure , enjoyment , relaxation or the avoidance of stress are construed as being `` important terms '' . In Jarvis v Swans Tours Ltd Lord Denning MR held that a council worker could get not just his money back , but also a small sum to reflect his disappointment after his dream - holiday to the Swiss Alps , contrary to the promises in Swan Tours ' travel brochure , proved a boring disaster , complete with sub-standard yodelling . And in Farley v Skinner the House of Lords held that a homebuyer close to Gatwick airport could recover money for lack of peaceful enjoyment , and the disruption of what would otherwise be his `` quiet contemplative breakfast '' from the house surveyor who assured there would be no noise . The market value of the property was unchanged , but ensuring peace and quiet had been an important term in their agreement . The courts have , however , remained reluctant to allow recovery for disappointment over any breach of contract , particularly in employment where a flood of people might claim damages for stress and upset after a wrongful dismissal . The famous case of Hadley v Baxendale about the lost profits of a flour miller at Gloucester 's docks , was updated in The Achilleas , so the extent of damages reflect the `` background of market expectations '' . In addition to damages for not getting the thing promised itself , a contract breaker must compensate for the costly consequences of the breach that one would reasonably expect to exist . There must be a causal connection between the breach and the consequence complained of . In Saamco v York Montague Ltd it was held a bank could not recover damages from property valuer for all of the difference in what the properties it bought after getting the valuations were assured to be and actual property values , because a large part of the difference resulted from generally depressed market prices following `` Black Wednesday '' in 1992 . In a business deal , calculation will typically be based on the forgone profits that one could reasonably have expected to make . This could also include the `` loss of a chance '' to profit , so in Chaplin v Hicks an entrant in a beauty contest wrongfully excluded from the final round was awarded 25 % of the final prize money to reflect her 1 in 4 chance of having won . One limit lies at consequential losses that are too `` remote '' , or are not a natural result of the breach , and are not in the parties ' contemplation . In Hadley v Baxendale a miller tried to recover damages from Baxendale 's delivery company for the lost profits from his mill grinding to a halt , after they were late delivering a crankshaft back from being fixed . But Alderson B held that because millers would usually be expected to keep spare crank shafts , and because he had not informed Baxendale of the importance of the timely delivery , an award for profits could not be compensated . More recently in The Achilleas the majority of the House of Lords preferred to express the remoteness rule as one of construing the contract to reflect the parties ' `` background of market expectations '' . Transfield Shipping returned The Achilleas late to its owner , Mercator , which led Mercator to lose a lucrative contract with Cargill that would make over $1.3 million , an occurrence that was plainly a natural consequence of the breach and easily foreseeable . Yet because the standard practice and expectation in the shipping industry was that if a ship were returned late only the ordinary sum for hire would be due , this was the limit on recovery . It is also possible to lose one 's entitlement to damages if steps are not taken to mitigate further losses , that any prudent person would , rather than sitting back and letting losses run up . But the burden of proof of a failure to mitigate is on a contract breaker , to whom the courts are unlikely to be sympathetic . A contract breaker could may also , if a concurrent liability arises in tort , argue a claimant 's damages should be reduced to reflect their contributory fault , and the courts can reduce an award to achieve a just and equitable result . Sometimes potential profits will be too uncertain , or a general fall in market prices means that even claiming damages for the thing itself would leave one in a negative position , and so the courts allow a claimant to choose whether to sue , not for a failure in expectations , but to cover her expenses in preparing for the contract , or the `` reliance interest '' . In Anglia Television Ltd v Reed a TV channel successfully sued Robert Reed for not turning up for shooting a film . It was unclear whether the film would make any profits at all , and so Anglia TV got compensated for its wasted expenses in preparing the set . The level of damages is generally assessed at the date of the breach , but this is variable if the court thinks another time would be fairer . When compensatory damages are an inadequate remedy , restitution may be awarded as where a record company exploited a licence to Jimi Hendrix records in breach of contract . By way of exception , alternative remedies to compensatory damages are available depending on the contract 's nature . If damages would be an inadequate remedy , for instance , because the subject matter was a unique painting , or a piece of land , or was to deliver petrol during an oil crisis , a court may compel literal or specific performance of the contract 's terms . It can also compel a defendant to refrain from actions that would continue a breach of contract . Injunctions are discretionary remedies , and so they are not awarded in cases where it might cause hardship , like compelling conveyance of property when it would mean an unexpectedly disabled inhabitant would lose her home . Additionally , the courts have , at least since the Slavery Abolition Act 1833 , refused to grant specific performance of contracts involving personal services . This is part of a more general principle that two ( potentially hostile ) parties to litigation should not be made to work in a long term relationship . In Cooperative Insurance Ltd v Argyll Ltd although a shop broke its contract with a shopping centre to keep its business operating , and actual performance was important to keep flagship businesses and so attract more customers to the centre generally , specific performance was not granted because compelling a potentially loss making business to keep operating was draconian and probably not capable of being policed by the court . No award can be made which punishes , or makes an example of a defendant , even for a cynical and calculated breach of contract . However , in limited situations , a claimant may succeed in a claim for restitution of the contract breaker 's gains , as is routinely available in cases involving trustees or other fiduciaries who profit from transactions where they have a conflict of interest . In the leading case , Attorney General v Blake a former secret service agent 's profits from book sales , which recounted government information in breach of Blake 's employment contract , were stripped . While Lord Nicholls stated , other than compensatory damages are not an adequate remedy , that `` no fixed rules can be prescribed '' and their Lordships were eager to not hamper the development of the law , the cases where such awards have been made in contract have all involved some quasi-proprietary element . In an earlier case , Wrotham Park Ltd v Parkside Homes Ltd , Brightman J awarded a percentage of gains resulting from building a lot of homes in breach of a restrictive covenant , based on a sum that the parties would have been likely to contract for had they struck a bargain . More recently in Experience Hendrix LLC v PPX Enterprises Inc Mance LJ held that a percentage of profits made by PPX breaching the intellectual property rights on songs by Jimi Hendrix would have to be paid up . So if in the course of a contract one party is in a position to take advantage of another 's rights without their fully informed consent , a restitutionary remedy can be awarded . Cancelling the contract ( edit ) See also : English unjust enrichment law and English tort law The financial crisis of 2007 -- 08 , like the Great Depression from 1929 , began with contract regulation failing to ensure terms were transparent , and permitting unjust exchanges among parties of unequal bargaining power , particularly in consumer credit contracts , and derivative financial contracts . Because contracts concern voluntary obligations , the courts employ a number of protections to ensure only people who give informed and true consent are legally bound . Before 1875 , the common law courts only allowed escape from an agreement and damages if someone was induced to enter an agreement by fraud or was put under physical duress , or suffered from a lack of legal capacity . The courts of equity , however , were significantly more generous because they allowed `` rescission '' ( i.e. cancellation ) of a contract if a person was the victim of any misrepresentation , even an innocent one , and any `` undue influence '' , beyond influence by physical threats . In these situations the victim of the misrepresentation or unconscionable behaviour has the option to avoid the contract . If avoided , the parties are both entitled to have returned whatever property they had already conveyed , so nobody remains unjustly enriched ( though this terminology was not used till the 20th century ) . As the 20th century unfolded , the courts and statute expanded on the range of circumstances in which a person could claim damages for negligent misrepresentation , on top of fraud . As concern over the use of unfair terms grew , there were calls to recognise a positive duty on contracting parties to disclose material facts as part of a broader duty of `` good faith '' and some judges attempted to follow the American Uniform Commercial Code by fashioning a broader doctrine of `` unconscionable '' bargains , procured through inequality of bargaining power . This development was , however , stopped by the House of Lords , so that problems of unfair contract terms continued to be dealt with through targeted legislation . The courts also declare contracts void if they were for an illegal purpose , and refuse to enforce the agreement , or give any legal remedy if doing so would require a person to rely on their illegal act . Disclosure and misrepresentation ( edit ) Main articles : Good faith , Misrepresentation in English law , Mistakes in English law , and Misrepresentation Misrepresentation sources Carter v Boehm ( 1766 ) 3 Burr 1905 Erlanger v New Sombrero Phosphate Co ( 1878 ) 3 App Cas 1218 Redgrave v Hurd ( 1881 ) 20 Ch D 1 Derry v Peek ( 1889 ) UKHL 1 Hedley Byrne & Co Ltd v Heller & Partners Ltd ( 1963 ) UKHL 4 Car and Universal Finance Co Ltd v Caldwell ( 1965 ) 1 QB 525 Misrepresentation Act 1967 Lambert v Co-op Insurance Ltd ( 1975 ) 2 Lloyd 's Rep 485 Esso Petroleum Co Ltd v Mardon ( 1976 ) EWCA Civ 4 East v Maurer ( 1990 ) EWCA Civ 6 Royscot Trust Ltd v Rogerson ( 1991 ) EWCA Civ 12 Saamco v York Montague Ltd ( 1996 ) UKHL 10 Shogun Finance Ltd v Hudson ( 2003 ) UKHL 62 Unfair Commercial Practices Directive 2005 / 29 / EC Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 ( SI 2008 / 1277 ) Misrepresentation in English law A strict duty of disclosure and good faith applies to selling most financial products , since Carter v Boehm involving insurance for an East India Company fort . In a specific set of contracts , negotiating parties must conduct themselves in utmost good faith ( or `` uberrima fides '' ) by disclosing all material facts to one another . In one of the earliest cases , Carter v Boehm , Mr Carter bought an insurance policy for any losses to a naval fort of the British East India Company in Sumatra , but failed to tell his insurer , Boehm , that the fort was only built to resist attacks from locals , and the French were likely to invade . Lord Mansfield held the policy was invalid . Since insurance is a contract based on speculation and the special facts `` lie most commonly in the knowledge of the insured only '' , good faith precluded Mr Carter `` concealing what he privately knows '' . The same policy was extended for sale of shares in a company . So in Erlanger v New Sombrero Phosphate Co the promoter and director - to - be of a guano mining business failed to disclose he had paid for the mining rights on the island of Sombrero half as much as he subsequently was valuing the company at . The House of Lords held that , despite a delay in making a claim , the purchasers of the shares had a right to their money back . Lord Blackburn held , further , that it was no barrier to rescission that the guano could not be put back in the ground . Counter-restitution ( i.e. both parties giving back what they had got ) , if it could be substantially made in its monetary equivalent , was enough . However , outside insurance , partnerships , surety , fiduciary relations , company shares , a narrow range of regulated securities , and consumer credit agreements , the duty on negotiating parties to disclose material facts does not extend to most contracts . Even though there is a duty to correct previous false statements , in Smith v Hughes , it was held that the general duty is merely to not make active misrepresentations . Hence , in the general law of contract , negotiating parties have a duty to not make false statements of fact or law , or misrepresent themselves through conduct . Statements of opinion , `` mere puff '' or vague `` sales talk '' ( e.g. `` this washing powder will make your clothes whiter than white ! '' ) , are generally not considered factual . However representations of people who profess special skill or knowledge are more likely to be actionable , as they warrant their opinions are based on concrete facts . So in Esso Petroleum Co Ltd v Mardon Lord Denning MR held that Esso 's expert opinion that a petrol station would have 200,000 gallons worth of business was an actionable misrepresentation . If someone is induced to enter a contract by any misrepresentation , whether fraudulent , negligent or innocent , they are entitled to rescind the contract and get back the property they have conveyed . As a remedy originating in the courts of equity , this right to rescind could be lost , in four situations that courts regard as unfair to allow a claim . First , if a claimant takes too long to claim , the lapse of time ( or `` laches '' ) will create a bar to rescission . Second , if a claimant affirms a contract by expressly showing they still consent to a deal even though they are aware of a misrepresentation , rescission is barred . Third , if a third party 's rights have intervened , when that third party is a bona fide purchaser rescission will be barred to the extent that property can not be recovered from the third party ( although a claim in damages can still exist against the misrepresentor ) . Fourth , and important in practice to prevent unjust enrichment is that counter-restitution must be possible . There is confusion over whether in cases at law , rather than in equity , counter-restitution must be precise ( i.e. a thing received must be given back in specie ) or whether , as in Erlanger , substantial counter-restitution may be in money . A statement of opinion by an expert , which proves false , will be taken as a factual misrepresentation , as in Esso Petroleum Co Ltd v Mardon . Depending on how a court construes negotiations , a representation could become a term of the contract , as well as one giving rise to the right to rescind . A misrepresentation that is a term , will entitle the misrepresentee to a simple breach of contract claim , with `` expectation damages '' for loss of potential profits ( subject to remoteness and the duty to mitigate ) . If the misrepresentation is not a term , then damages may also be available , but only `` reliance damages '' for losses that have been incurred . Until 1963 , the general rule was that only for fraud ( i.e. an intentional or reckless misrepresentation ) were damages available . For fraud , damages are available for all losses that flow directly from the misrepresentation . However , in its Tenth Report the Law Reform Committee recommended that damages should also be available for negligent misrepresentations . This led to the drafting of the Misrepresentation Act 1967 , and just before the Act was passed , the House of Lords also decided in Hedley Byrne & Co Ltd v Heller & Partners Ltd there should be a new claim for negligent misrepresentation at common law . While Hedley Byrne remains an important case for an independent action in tort , MA 1967 section 2 ( 1 ) was instantly more generous than the common law . It allows damages if the claimant shows a defendant has made a false representation , and then the defendant can not prove that they had reasonable grounds for making a statement and honestly believed it was true . So while the common law would put the burden of proof on a claimant to show a defendant made a negligent misstatement , MA 1967 s 2 ( 1 ) shifts the burden of proof to the defendant . The measure of damages is also more generous under the Act than at common law , because just as the Law Reform Report was drafted , the House of Lords was introducing a limit on the quantum of damages for negligence to losses that are reasonably foreseeable . MA 1967 section 2 ( 1 ) , however , was drafted by reference to state the same damages were available as for fraud . So in Royscot Trust Ltd v Rogerson , the Court of Appeal held that even where a representation is negligent , and not fraud , the same quantum of damages is available as for fraud . This is controversial among academics who argue that fraud is more morally culpable than negligent behaviour , and should therefore deserve a more severe limit on compensation , though it is not entirely resolved what the proper circumstances for remoteness ought to be . Under section 2 ( 2 ) the court has the discretion to substitute the right to rescind a contract for a small misrepresentation with an award of damages . Under section 3 , a court has the power to strike down clauses excluding remedies for misrepresentation if they fail the reasonableness test in the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 . An exception to the law on misrepresentation -- that contracts are voidable at the instance of the misrepresentee , but the right to rescission can be barred inter alia by the intervention of third party rights -- arises when someone is induced by the fraudulent misrepresentation to enter an agreement through a written document at a distance ( and not when a transaction is face to face ) . In Shogun Finance Ltd v Hudson a crook obtained Mr Patel 's credit details and bought a Mitsubishi Shogun on hire purchase contract at a car dealer . Shogun Finance was faxed through Mr Patel 's details , and agreed to finance the purchase of the car , letting the crook drive away . Subsequently , Mrs Hudson bought the car from the crook . The crook disappeared . Then Shogun Finance , who had predictably never been paid , found Mrs Hudson and sued to retrieve the car . A bare majority in the House of Lords held that to protect the certainty of commercial dealings through a signed document , the contract between the finance company and the crook was void ( the same consequence as if there had never been any offer mirrored by an acceptance ) . They had only ever intended to contract with Mr Patel . And because nobody can convey property they do not have ( nemo dat quod non habet ) Mrs Hudson never acquired legitimate title to the car from the crook and had to give back the car . The minority held that this situation should follow ordinary law of misrepresentation , and should mean that the right of the finance company to rescind the contract would be barred by the intervention of Mrs Hudson 's rights as a bona fide third party purchaser , just like all of Europe , the United States , and previous decisions of the Court of Appeal suggest . However , because of the majority 's decision this special category of `` mistake about identity '' cases remains a general exception to the English law on misrepresentation .

Complete exercise of `` free will '' is rare for most people , because they make choices within a constrained range of alternatives . The law still holds people to nearly all contracts ( if consumer , employment , tenancy , etc. legislation is not activated ) except where someone was under duress , unduly influenced or exploited while in a vulnerable position . Like misrepresentation , the victim may avoid the contract , and the parties restore their property to reverse unjust enrichment , subject to the victim 's claim for damages , so long as none of the four equitable bars to rescission lie ( i.e. no excessive lapse of time , affirmation of the contract , intervention of an innocent third party 's rights and counter-restitution is possible ) . The most straight forward claim , for duress , involves illegitimate threats . The common law long allowed a claim if duress was of a physical nature . So long as a threat is just one of the reasons a person enters an agreement , even if not the main reason , the agreement may be avoided . Only late in the 20th century was escape allowed if the threat involved illegitimate economic harm . A threat is always `` illegitimate '' if it is to do an unlawful act , such as breaking a contract knowing non-payment may push someone out of business . However , threatening to do a lawful act will usually not be illegitimate . In Pao on v Lau Yiu Long the Pao family threatened to not complete a share swap deal , aimed at selling their company 's building , unless the Lau family agreed to change a part of the proposed agreement to guarantee the Paos would receive rises in the swapped shares ' prices on repurchase . The Laus signed the guarantee agreement after this threat , and then claimed it was not binding . But the Privy Council advised their signature was only a result of `` commercial pressure '' , not economic duress . The Laus ' considered the situation before signing , and did not behave like someone under duress , so there was no coercion amounting to a vitiation of consent . However , contrasting to cases involving business parties , the threat to do a lawful act will probably be duress if used against a vulnerable person . An obvious case involving `` lawful act duress '' is blackmail . The blackmailer has to justify , not doing the lawful act they threaten , but against a person highly vulnerable to them , the demand of money . Third parties , particularly banks , will not see their security cancelled over undue influence claims if they ensure people seeking mortgages have independent advice . Parallel to the slow development of common law duress , the courts of equity allowed escape from a contract if any form of undue influence was used against a contracting party . `` Actual undue influence '' is now essentially the same thing as duress in its wider form . In these `` class 1 '' cases , a claimant proves they were actually put under undue influence . Most relevant are the cases on `` presumed undue influence '' , of which there are two sub-classes . `` Class 2A '' cases involve someone being in a pre-defined relation of trust and confidence with another , before which they enter a very disadvantageous transaction . In Allcard v Skinner , Miss Allcard joined a Christian sect , the `` Protestant Sisters of the Poor '' , run by her spiritual adviser , Miss Skinner . After taking vows of poverty and obedience she gave the sect almost all her property . Lindley LJ held that if she had not been barred from the claim by letting 6 years lapse , it could be presumed that Miss Allcard was unduly influenced and she would have been able to rescind the transfer . Other class 2A relationships include doctor and patient , parent and child , solicitor and client , or any fiduciary relation ( but not wife and husband ) . Where the relation does not fall into one of these , it stands with `` class 2B '' cases . Here , a claimant may first prove that there was in fact a strong relation of trust and confidence . If that is done , and there is a disadvantageous transaction , it will be presumed to result from undue influence . It will then be up to the recipient of the property to rebut the presumption . This takes on greatest significance in cases involving banks typically lending money to a husband for his business , and securing a mortgage over the husband and wife 's jointly owned home . Significant problems arose , particularly after the early 1990s housing , stock market and currency crashes , where the husband 's business failed , the bank attempted to repossess the house , and the wife claimed she never understood the implications of the mortgage or was pressured into it . Even though a bank may have played no illegitimate role , if it had `` constructive notice '' of undue influence ( i.e. if it was aware that something was potentially wrong ) the bank would lose its security and could not repossess the house . In Royal Bank of Scotland plc v Etridge the House of Lords decided that in such situations a bank should ensure that the spouse has been independently advised by a solicitor , who in turn confirms in writing there is no question of undue influence , before giving out a loan . As opposed to duress and actual undue influence , where illegitimate pressure is applied , or presumed undue influence which depends on a relationship of trust and confidence being abused , further cases allow a vulnerable person to avoid an agreement merely on the basis that they were vulnerable and exploited . In The Medina the Court of Appeal found that a group of pilgrims shipwrecked on a rock in the Red Sea did not need to pay £ 4000 they promised to a rescue ship , because the `` rescuers '' had exploited the pilgrims vulnerable position . To prevent unjust enrichment , the Court substituted an award of £ 1800 . Similarly , in Cresswell v Potter , Ms Cresswell conveyed her ex-husband her share of their joint property in return for release from mortgage repayments , later making him £ 1400 profit . Because Potter took advantage of Ms Creswell 's ignorance of property transactions , Megarry J held the agreement was voidable . One potential exception to this pattern , and now very heavily restricted , is the defence of `` non est factum '' , which originally applied in favour of illiterate people in the 19th century allowed a person to have a signed contract declared void if it is radically different from what was envisaged . In Lloyds Bank Ltd v Bundy , Lord Denning MR proposed it was time that all cases be placed into one unified doctrine of `` inequality of bargaining power '' . This would have allowed escape from an agreement if without independent advice one person 's ability to bargain for better terms had been heavily impaired , and would have essentially given courts broader scope to change contracts to the advantage of weaker parties . The idea of a general unified doctrine was disapproved by some members of the House of Lords from 1979 . However , specific legislation , such as the Consumer Credit Act 1974 , the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 , or the Employment Rights Act 1996 creates targeted rights for contracting parties who lack bargaining power , in the same way specific legislation circumscribes a duty of disclosure and good faith . Thus , just as there is no unified theory of bargaining power , a unified doctrine of freedom of contract was dismantled long ago where the parties are not making commercial deals in the course of business . Incapacity ( edit ) Main articles : Capacity in English law and Capacity ( law ) Contracting capacity cases Nash v Inman ( 1908 ) 2 KB 1 De Francesco v Branum ( 1890 ) 45 Ch D 430 Carnell v Harrison ( 1916 ) 1 Ch 328 Steinberg v Scala Ltd ( 1923 ) 2 Ch D 452 Hart v O'Connor ( 1985 ) UKPC 1 Matthews v Baxter ( 1873 ) LR 8 Ex 132 Pitt v Smith ( 1811 ) 3 Camp 33 Ashbury Railway Carriage Co Ltd v Riche ( 1875 ) LR 7 HL 653 Companies Act 2006 ss 39 - 40 Capacity in English law Heavily intoxicated people will be bound to contracts for `` necessaries '' , which can ironically include more alcohol . In three main situations , English law allows people who lack legal capacity to contract to escape from enforcement of agreements and recover property that was conveyed , to reverse unjust enrichment . First , a person may be too young to be bound by large or onerous contracts . Minors , under 18 years , can bind themselves to contracts for `` necessaries '' to pay a reasonable price , but only unusual contracts , such as for eleven luxury waistcoats will not be deemed `` necessaries '' . While the adult contracting party is bound , the minor has the option to rescind the contract , so long as one of the four equitable bars ( lapse of time , affirmation , third party rights , counter-restitution possible ) is not present . Second , people who are mentally incapacitated , for instance because they are sectioned under the Mental Health Act 1983 or they are completely intoxicated , are in principle bound to agreements when the other person could not or did not know they lacked mental capacity . But if the other person did know or should have known , then the mentally incapacitated individual may no longer have agreements for non-necessaries enforced upon them . Third , companies can generally bind themselves to any agreement , even though many ( particularly older ) companies have a limited range of objects that their members ( in most companies this means shareholders ) have consented that the business is for . Under the Companies Act 2006 sections 39 and 40 , if a third party contracting with the company in bad faith takes advantage of a director or officer to procure an agreement , that contract will be wholly void . This is a high threshold , and in practice no longer relevant , particularly since 2006 companies may elect to have unrestricted objects . It is more likely that a contract ceases to be enforceable because , as a matter of the law of agency the third party should have reasonably known that the person contracting lacked authority to enter an agreement . In this situation a contract is voidable at the instance of the company , and could only be enforced against the ( probably less solvent ) employee . In a fourth case , the consequences of incapacity are more drastic . Although the Crown Proceedings Act 1947 made it possible for the government or emanations of the state to be sued on contracts in the same way as a normal individual , where statute confers power on a public body to do certain acts , actions by representatives beyond that power will be ultra vires and void . The result is the same as it was for companies before reform in 1989 , so that whole chains of agreements could be declared as non-existent .

Jump up ^ ( 1979 ) UKPC 2 , ( 1980 ) AC 614 Jump up ^ See Daniel v Drew ( 2005 ) EWCA Civ 507 , ( 2005 ) WTLR 807 , where the Court of Appeal held that a nephew who threatened his old Auntie Muriel with court proceedings if she did not reduce his rent as a beneficiary allowed was actual undue influence . This is the same as duress . Cf US Restatement ( Second ) of Contracts 1979 § 176 Jump up ^ See R v Attorney General for England and Wales ( 2003 ) UKPC 22 , ( 2003 ) EMLR 499 Jump up ^ See Barclays Bank plc v O'Brien ( 1993 ) UKHL 6 , where Lord Browne - Wilkinson set forth the class numbering . Jump up ^ e.g. Johnson v Buttress ( 1936 ) 56 CLR 113 Jump up ^ This created an explosion of property and trusts litigation in cases such as Lloyds Bank plc v Rosset ( 1990 ) UKHL 14 Abbey National Building Society v Cann ( 1991 ) 1 AC 56 . Jump up ^ ( 2001 ) UKHL 44 , ( 2002 ) 2 AC 773 Jump up ^ ( 1876 ) 2 PD 5 Jump up ^ ( 1978 ) 1 WLR 255 Jump up ^ cf Gallie v Lee ( 1970 ) UKHL 5 , ( 1971 ) AC 1004 , where an old lady who had broken her glasses was still bound to a contract in which she had conveyed her house away to her nephew 's shady business partner , even though she had been deceived into thinking the document was merely for a gift to the nephew . Such cases were decided before statutory intervention was introduced to cut out all unfair terms , and the law on undue influence was tightened in favour of vulnerable people . Jump up ^ ( 1974 ) EWCA Civ 8 Jump up ^ For an example of the phrase , see S Webb and B Webb , Industrial Democracy ( 1897 ) and its subsequent endorsement in the preamble to the US labor law statute , the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 . Jump up ^ Pao on v Lau Yiu Long ( 1980 ) UKPC 2 , ( 1980 ) AC 614 per Lord Scarman , agreements are not voidable simply because `` they had been procured by an unfair use of a dominant bargaining position '' , and National Westminster Bank plc v Morgan ( 1985 ) UKHL 2 Jump up ^ See further , Autoclenz Ltd v Belcher and Gisda Cyf v Barratt Jump up ^ See Nash v Inman ( 1902 ) 2 KB 1 and the Sale of Goods Act 1979 s 3 .

Gwen Conliffe , Ben 's fiancée , has contacted his brother Lawrence , a Shakespearean actor , saying that Ben has disappeared . Lawrence returns to his family 's estate in Blackmoor where he has an uneasy reunion with his estranged father , Sir John . Lawrence discovers Ben 's mutilated body kept in a slaughterhouse . At the local pub , Lawrence overhears the locals discussing the killing . Many blame Gypsies who are camped outside the town , while another patron claims there was a similar murder several decades earlier , and a werewolf was the suspected killer . He has flashbacks as he tours his family 's home where his mother , Solana , committed suicide when he was a boy . Lawrence saw his father standing over her dead body ; afterwards he was sent to an insane asylum in London having to suffer from delusions . Lawrence visits the Gypsies during a full moon . The local townspeople raid the camp to confiscate a dancing bear they believe is the killer , but a werewolf attacks the camp , and bites Lawrence in the neck before being chased away by local hunters . A Gypsy woman named Maleva sutures his neck wounds , but her daughter insists the now cursed Lawrence should be killed before he destroys other lives . Maleva refuses , saying he is still a man and that only a loved one can release him . Lawrence recovers unnaturally quickly , and develops heightened vitality and senses . His father 's servant Singh shows Lawrence a set of silver bullets and implies that something monstrous is loose in Blackmoor . Inspector Aberline arrives to investigate the recent killings , and suspects Lawrence is responsible based on his mental history and portrayals of mentally - ill characters . Fearing for Gwen , Lawrence sends her away . He follows his father to his mother 's crypt , where Sir John locks himself in a room alone as he gives a cryptic warning to Lawrence . Lawrence then undergoes a painful transformation into the Wolfman before running off into the woods and killing the hunters stationed there . The next morning , Aberline and the police arrest the now human Lawrence . Taken to the same asylum he was committed to as a child , Lawrence is subjected to torturous treatments overseen by Dr. Hoenneger . Sir John visits Lawrence and explains that many years before while hunting in India , he was bitten by a feral boy infected with lycanthropy . Lawrence realizes his father , as a werewolf , killed his mother and his brother . Knowing that Lawrence would never be believed , he confesses before leaving his son at the asylum permanently . By nightfall , Dr. Hoenneger conducts an evening lecture with Lawrence as a case study , and assures Lawrence that he is only a werewolf in his imagination , seeking to prove it by putting him on display during the full moon . As moonlight streams through the window , Lawrence transforms into the Wolfman and goes on a rampage throughout the lecture hall and London , with Aberline in pursuit . The next day , the now - human Lawrence visits Gwen 's antique shop for help . They realize they are falling in love and share a passionate kiss . Aberline arrives and searches the shop , but Lawrence has already escaped to Blackmoor . Lawrence arrives at Talbot Hall and finds Singh 's mutilated body . He loads a gun with Singh 's silver bullets , but when he attempts to shoot his father , he learns that Sir John had removed the powder from the cartridges years ago . The Talbots fight , transforming into werewolves when the full moon rises and setting Talbot Hall on fire . Lawrence kills his father as Gwen and Aberline arrive . Aberline attempts to shoot the Wolfman , but Gwen disrupts the shot . Attempting to physically contront Lawrence , Aberline is bitten . The Wolfman pursues Gwen and traps her above a gorge . She pleads with Lawrence , whose consciousness recognizes her . As he hesitates , the hunters approach , distracting the Wolfman long enough for Gwen to shoot him . Lawrence reverts to human form , thanks Gwen for setting him free and dies in her arms . Aberline arrives with the hunters , but as he looks at the moon , he realizes his inevitable fate . As Talbot Hall burns , a howl is heard in the distance . Cast ( edit ) Benicio del Toro as Lawrence Talbot / The Wolfman , the main protagonist of the film , he is a mild - mannered nobleman who had been bitten by his werewolf father and thus , he becomes a large werewolf by night . Anthony Hopkins as Sir John Talbot , the main antagonist of the film , he is Lawrence 's father and an old nobleman who 's able to become a werewolf and bit his son , while he is bent on murdering people . Emily Blunt as Gwen Conliffe , Lawrence 's love interest . Hugo Weaving as Inspector Francis Aberline , the Scotland Yard police inspector who 's hunting down Lawrence . Geraldine Chaplin as Maleva Art Malik as Singh Antony Sher as Dr. Hoenneger , the head of the asylum . David Schofield as Constable Nye David Sterne as Kirk Simon Merrells as Ben Talbot , Lawrence 's brother who had been horribly murdered by their father . Cristina Contes as Solana Talbot , Lawrence and Ben 's mother who had been also horribly murdered by John . Michael Cronin as Dr. Lloyd Nicholas Day as Colonel Montford Clive Russell as MacQueen Roger Frost as Reverend Fisk Max von Sydow appears as an elderly man who gives Lawrence the wolf - head cane ; his part was cut from the theatrical film but is restored in the unrated director 's cut . Make - up effects creator Rick Baker makes a cameo appearance as the Gypsy man who is the first killed . The Wolfman 's howl incorporated elements from rock singers Gene Simmons and David Lee Roth , as well as opera singers and animal impersonators . Voice actor Frank Welker performed the roars and growls of the werewolves and the feral boy . Production ( edit ) In March 2006 , Universal Pictures announced the remake of The Wolf Man with actor Benicio del Toro , a fan of the original and collector of Wolf Man memorabilia , in the lead role . Screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker was attached to the screenplay , developing the original film 's story to include additional characters as well as plot points that would take advantage of modern visual effects . Del Toro also looked towards Werewolf of London and The Curse of the Werewolf for inspiration . Rick Baker chose to keep his version as close and faithful to the original Jack Pierce design as much as possible . In February 2007 , director Mark Romanek was attached to helm The Wolfman . Romanek 's original vision was to `` infuse a balance of cinema in a popcorn movie scenario '' , stating , `` When there 's a certain amount of money involved , these things make studios and producers a little nervous . They do n't necessarily understand it or they feel that the balance will swing too far to something esoteric , and we could never come to an agreement on the right balance for that type of thing . Ultimately it made more sense for them to find a director that was gon na fulfill their idea of the film that they wanted , and we just sort of parted ways . '' In January 2008 , Romanek left the project because of creative differences . Brett Ratner emerged as a frontrunner to replace Romanek , but the studio also met with Frank Darabont , James Mangold and Joe Johnston . They were also interested in Bill Condon , and Martin Campbell was interested . Johnston was hired to direct on 3 February 2008 , and the film 's shooting schedule and budget remained as intended . Johnston hired David Self to rewrite the script . Shooting took place from 3 March to 23 June 2008 , in Britain . At that time the film was budgeted at US $85 million . They shot at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire , Chatsworth in Derbyshire and Castle Combe in Wiltshire . They transformed Chatsworth House by adding weeds , dead grass and ivy . They also shot in Lacock in Wiltshire , a village conserved by the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty , for a day . Universal donated £ 5,000 to the village , in return for filming in the tithe barn for a scene involving frozen corpses . A funeral scene was also shot beside the Temple of Ancient Virtue at Stowe House , with the temple coated in false ivy and copious amounts of smoke / mist floating over the setting . There were also scenes filmed on Dartmoor , Devon at Foggintor Quarry . Pick - ups at Pinewood were conducted in May 2009 . Rick Baker created the make - up for The Wolfman . When he heard Universal was remaking the film , he eagerly pursued it , as both The Wolf Man and Frankenstein inspired him to become a make - up artist as a child . He acknowledged transforming del Toro was not difficult because he is a hairy man : `` Going from Benicio to Benicio as the Wolf Man is n't a really extreme difference . Like when I did An American Werewolf in London , we went from this naked man to a four - legged hound from Hell , and we had a lot of room to go from the transformation and do a lot of really extreme things . Here we have Benicio del Toro , who 's practically the Wolf Man already , to Benicio del Toro with more hair and bigger teeth . '' Baker and del Toro were adamant about the design resembling the make - up created by Jack Pierce for the 1941 film , but Romanek went through thousands of concept art renderings . When Johnston signed on , Baker returned to his second design , which is the finished result . The make - up took three hours to apply , and one hour to remove . New pieces of latex prosthetic makeup and loose hair was applied to del Toro 's face each day , while several dentures and wigs were created in case some were damaged . Baker said the transformation would likely be computer - generated , which disappointed him as he would not be involved and felt it would look unrealistic ( as the animators did not have his knowledge of the design ) . Director Joe Johnston explained that joining the film three weeks before photography placed limitations on his ability to film without using CG effects . He has stated , `` I recognised that there were things that I was going to be able to do from the beginning to the end , and things that I had to rely on post-production for . '' In reference to filming Benicio del Toro 's actual transformation into the Wolfman , Johnston further explained , `` I decided to basically shoot just Benicio , in the sequence where he transforms and decide in post-production what I wanted the transformation to be . That was really my main reason ( for using CG ) ; it gave me so much more flexibility . '' In February 2009 , ZBrush art of the transformation by Baker leaked online . In addition to the film , at the 2009 Halloween Horror Nights , Universal Studios Florida added The Wolfman to the event . The cast and crew were back on location re-shooting the film in the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College and park in Greenwich over the weekends of 22 - 25 and 30 -- 31 May 2009 . The purpose of the re-shoots was to change the way one werewolf looked in the film . Previously , it stood on two legs , but now , it stands on four . Also , an action scene was added between `` the Wolf Man and the Werewolf '' according to second unit director Vic Armstrong . Music ( edit ) Danny Elfman was reported to have written a dark , melodic , and moody score for The Wolfman , which was rejected by the studio after the film was cut down half an hour in length and the music became too `` wall - to - wall , '' creating what Johnston called too much repetition . Due to his not being able to come back and re-score ( because he was contractually obligated to work on Tim Burton 's Alice in Wonderland feature film ) , the producers decided that , rather than expand on his ideas with a new composer - a path that they would eventually take - they would instead attempt a completely different approach with a different composer , which would include extensive re-shooting of scenes . The idea was to quicken the pace and strike a similar tone to the successful Underworld film series , turning a slow - paced story into a much faster one . Paul Haslinger subsequently wrote an electronic contemporary incarnation of The Wolfman score , which the studio quickly realised was not appropriate for the late 19th - century Gothic setting . Elfman 's previously recorded original score is , as a result , the one that is used in the final film . Although Elfman 's original recording was used in the final film , several additional composers ( Conrad Pope , Edward Shearmur and Thomas Lindgren ) were brought in to shape Elfman 's score to fit the final cut of the film , as well as compose new material . Some confusion has surfaced regarding this , as many news sources are claiming Elfman never `` completed '' his score , sidestepping that he did , in fact , complete it , but had not re-shaped it to fit the studio 's ever - evolving changes . Conrad Pope , one of the additional composers , previously worked with Elfman on Sleepy Hollow as an orchestrator and is a frequent collaborator with composer John Williams . A similar situation developed regarding Elfman 's score for Spider - Man 2 , where the music in the final film stood mostly separate from the original work on the CD release , which reflected the first incarnation of the score . Danny Elfman 's version of The Wolfman score was officially released on 23 February , 11 days after the film 's release . This is actually the original score Elfman made for the earlier cut of The Wolfman before it was temporarily rejected . A believed - to - be sample of Haslinger 's rejected score was released around the same time , but was ultimately confirmed as false by Film Score Monthly record producer Ford A. Thaxton and Haslinger himself . Dark ambient musician Lustmord mentions on his personal website that he made `` some sounds for the score '' . However , he is not credited for his work on the film . Release ( edit ) During the course of its production , The Wolfman saw its release date postponed several times . Originally scheduled for a November 12 , 2008 , release , it was first pushed back to February 12 , 2009 . Then , in April 2008 , it got moved to April 3 , 2009 . In December 2008 , Universal moved the release to November 6 , 2009 . Finally , the film was moved yet again in late July 2009 to February 12 , 2010 . The first trailer for The Wolfman was attached to Inglourious Basterds , which was released to cinemas on August 21 , 2009 . In most European countries the film was released on February 10 and 11 , 2010 . Box office ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( January 2018 ) The film grossed $9.9 million on its first day , and $31.5 million in its opening weekend , coming in second at the box office after the film Valentine 's Day . The Wolfman eventually grossed $62 million in North America , and a total of $139.8 million worldwide , failing to recoup its $150 million budget . In 2014 , the LA Times listed the film as one of the most expensive box office flops of all - time . Reception ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( June 2016 ) On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 34 % based on 209 reviews , with an average rating of 4.8 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Suitably grand and special effects - laden , The Wolfman suffers from a suspense - deficient script and a surprising lack of genuine chills . '' On Metacritic , the film has a score of 43 out of 100 , based on 36 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` C + '' on an A+ to F scale . Film critic Roger Ebert gave the film two and a half stars out of four , praising the atmospheric locations and melodramatic scope but lamenting CGI effects that he regarded as detrimental . Peter Travers of Rolling Stone assigned the film one and a half stars out of four , concluding that `` The Wolfman bites , but not -- I think -- in the way the filmmakers intended . '' Owen Glieberman of Entertainment Weekly praised Del Toro 's performance as Lawrence Talbot , comparing it favourably to Lon Chaney , Jr. 's , in the 1941 film . Ronald Meyer , president of Universal Studios , regarded the film as `` crappy '' and considered it to be `` One of the worst movies we ever made . '' Awards ( edit ) In 2010 , The Wolfman won at the 37th Saturn Awards for best make - up . In 2011 , make - up effects creator Rick Baker and supervisor Dave Elsey , received an Academy Award for Best Makeup at the 83rd Academy Awards . Home Media ( edit ) The film was released on DVD and Blu - ray in the US on June 1 , 2010 . Both editions include the theatrical version and an extended director 's cut , which incorporates 17 minutes of footage back into the film . The Blu - ray Disc 's special features include featurettes on the making of the film , including two alternate endings . The only special features included on the standard DVD are deleted and extended scenes . Best Buy released an exclusive 2 - Disc DVD set that includes a bonus disc featuring most of the BD special features . Upon the Blu - ray 's release , viewers had the opportunity to stream the original 1941 film . The U.S. DVD and Blu - ray releases earned a total of $27 million in sales . Extended cut ( edit ) The DVD / Blu - ray releases include an `` unrated director 's cut '' , featuring an additional 17 minutes of footage and the inclusion of the classic 40 's era Universal logo at the beginning of the film . Johnston said the reason for deleting the 17 minutes from the theatrical cut was `` to push the story along so that audiences would get to the first Wolfman transformation sooner . '' The extra footage contains the origin of the silver cane - sword and also the uncredited and completely removed part played by Max von Sydow who was the original owner of the cane . The character indicates that he obtained it in Gévaudan , a French province where in the 18th century villagers were attacked by an unknown beast known as the Beast of Gévaudan . Though Max von Sydow 's credit is absent from the theatrical cut , there is still a credit for `` Assistant to Mr. von Sydow '' . Merchandising ( edit ) Several companies were involved in the merchandising of the film . Rubies Costumes produced both child and adult costumes . Because such costumes are sold to retailers months in advance , the Halloween costumes came out in 2009 since the film being pushed back to 2010 happened after the costumes had been shipped to retailers . Mezco Toyz produced 7 inch and 12 inch tall Wolfman action figures . They also produced replicas of the medallion from the film . In early January 2010 , Mezco Toyz donated the prototypes of the toys to the Museum of the Moving Image in New York . Jonathan Maberry wrote a novelization to the film , the paperback of which was released on 2 February 2010 , the same day the original The Wolf Man film was re-released on DVD through Universal 's Legacy Series . It includes a scene early in the story which explains how Lawrence obtained the cane with a silver wolf 's head ( which features prominently in the original film and director 's cut of the remake ) , with Lawrence exchanging his ordinary wooden cane with an elderly Frenchman for the silver wolf 's head cane on his initial trip to Blackmoor . It also has Gwen and her father owning an apothecary rather than an antiques shop , suggesting this was changed during the remake 's development to be closer to the original film . Reboot and shared universe ( edit ) Universal announced that it would reboot their Universal Monsters properties as part of a shared cinematic universe , with Alex Kurtzman and Chris Morgan attached to develop the structure of the shared universe . In November 2014 , Universal hired Aaron Guzikowski to write the shared universe 's reboot of The Wolf Man . In June 2016 , Deadline reports that Dwayne Johnson may star as the character . In October 2016 , it was reported that David Callaham was brought on board to re-write the script . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : `` The Wolfman ( 2010 ) '' . Box Office Mojo . IMDb .

Philosophical skepticism ( UK spelling : scepticism ; from Greek σκέψις skepsis , `` inquiry '' ) is a philosophical school of thought that questions the possibility of certainty in knowledge . Skeptic philosophers from different historical periods adopted different principles and arguments , but their ideology can be generalized as either ( 1 ) the denial of possibility of all knowledge or ( 2 ) the suspension of judgement due to the inadequacy of evidence .

In the ancient world there were two main skeptical traditions . Academic skepticism took the dogmatic position that knowledge was not possible ; Pyrrhonian skeptics refused to take a dogmatic position on any issue -- including skepticism . Radical skepticism ends in the paradoxical claim that one can not know anything -- including that one can not know about knowing anything . Skepticism can be classified according to its scope . Local skepticism involves being skeptical about particular areas of knowledge , e.g. moral skepticism , skepticism about the external world , or skepticism about other minds , whereas global skepticism is skeptical about the possibility of any knowledge at all . Skepticism can also be classified according to its method . In the Western tradition there are two basic approaches to skepticism . Cartesian skepticism -- named somewhat misleadingly after René Descartes , who was not a skeptic but used some traditional skeptical arguments in his Meditations to help establish his rationalist approach to knowledge -- attempts to show that any proposed knowledge claim can be doubted . Agrippan skepticism focuses on the process of justification rather than the possibility of doubt . According to this view there are three ways in which one might attempt to justify a claim but none of them are adequate : one can keep on providing further justification but this leads to an infinite regress ; one can stop at a dogmatic assertion ; or one can argue in circular reasoning , never reaching a viable conclusion . Philosophical skepticism is distinguished from methodological skepticism in that philosophical skepticism is an approach that questions the possibility of certainty in knowledge , whereas methodological skepticism is an approach that subjects all knowledge claims to scrutiny with the goal of sorting out true from false claims . Schools ( edit ) Philosophical skepticism begins with the claim that the skeptic currently does not have knowledge . Some adherents maintain that knowledge is , in theory , possible . It could be argued that Socrates held that view . He appears to have thought that if people continue to ask questions they might eventually come to have knowledge ; but that they did not have it yet . Some skeptics have gone further and claimed that true knowledge is impossible , for example the Academic school in Ancient Greece well after the time of Carneades . A third skeptical approach would be neither to accept nor reject the possibility of knowledge . Skepticism can be either about everything or about particular areas . A ' global ' skeptic argues that he does not absolutely know anything to be either true or false . Academic global skepticism has great difficulty in supporting this claim while maintaining philosophical rigor , since it seems to require that nothing can be known -- except for the knowledge that nothing can be known , though in its probabilistic form it can use and support the notion of weight of evidence . Thus , some probabilists avoid extreme skepticism by maintaining that they merely are ' reasonably certain ' ( or ' largely believe ' ) some things are real or true . As for using probabilistic arguments to defend skepticism , in a sense this enlarges or increases scepticism , while the defence of empiricism by Empiricus weakens skepticism and strengthens dogmatism by alleging that sensory appearances are beyond doubt . Much later , Kant would re-define `` dogmatism '' to make indirect realism about the external world seem objectionable . While many Hellenists , outside of Empiricus , would maintain that everyone who is not sceptical about everything is a dogmatist , this position would seem too extreme for most later philosophers . Nevertheless , A Pyrrhonian global skeptic labors under no such modern constraint , since he only alleged that he , personally , did not know anything and made no statement about the possibility of knowledge . Nor did Arcesilaus feel bound , since he merely corrected Socrates 's `` I only know that I know nothing '' by adding `` I do n't even know that '' , thus more fully rejecting dogmatism . Local skeptics deny that people do or can have knowledge of a particular area . They may be skeptical about the possibility of one form of knowledge without doubting other forms . Different kinds of local skepticism may emerge , depending on the area . A person may doubt the truth value of different types of journalism , for example , depending on the types of media they trust . In Islamic philosophy , skepticism was established by Al - Ghazali ( 1058 -- 1111 ) , known in the West as `` Algazel '' , as part of the Ash'ari school of Islamic theology . Francisco Sanches 's That Nothing is Known ( published in 1581 as Quod nihil scitur ) is one of the crucial texts of Renaissance skepticism . Epistemology and skepticism ( edit ) Skepticism , as an epistemological argument , poses the question of whether knowledge , in the first place , is possible . Skeptics argue that the belief in something does not necessarily justify an assertion of knowledge of it . In this , skeptics oppose dogmatic foundationalism , which states that there have to be some basic positions that are self - justified or beyond justification , without reference to others . ( One example of such foundationalism may be found in Spinoza 's Ethics . ) The skeptical response to this can take several approaches . First , claiming that `` basic positions '' must exist amounts to the logical fallacy of argument from ignorance combined with the slippery slope . Among other arguments , skeptics used Agrippa 's trilemma , named after Agrippa the Sceptic , to claim no certain belief could be achieved . Foundationalists have used the same trilemma as a justification for demanding the validity of basic beliefs . This skeptical approach is rarely taken to its pyrrhonean extreme by most practitioners . Several modifications have arisen over the years , including the following ( 1 ) : Fictionalism would not claim to have knowledge but will adhere to conclusions on some criterion such as utility , aesthetics , or other personal criteria without claiming that any conclusion is actually `` true '' . Philosophical fideism ( as opposed to religious Fideism ) would assert the truth of some propositions , but does so without asserting certainty . Some forms of pragmatism would accept utility as a provisional guide to truth but not necessarily a universal decision - maker . There are two different categories of epistemological skepticism , which can be referred to as mitigated and unmitigated skepticism . The two forms are contrasting but are still true forms of skepticism . Mitigated skepticism does not accept `` strong '' or `` strict '' knowledge claims but does , however , approve specific weaker ones . These weaker claims can be assigned the title of `` virtual knowledge '' , but must be to justified belief . Unmitigated skepticism rejects both claims of virtual knowledge and strong knowledge . Characterising knowledge as strong , weak , virtual or genuine can be determined differently depending on a person 's viewpoint as well as their characterisation of knowledge . Criticism of skepticism ( edit ) Most philosophies have weaknesses and can be criticized and this is a general principle of progression in philosophy . The philosophy of skepticism asserts that no truth is knowable or only probable . Some say the scientific method also asserts probable findings , because the number of cases tested is always limited and they constitute perceptual observations . Another criticism is the proposition that `` no truth is knowable '' is knowably true is contradictory . The here is one hand argument is also another relatively simple criticism that reverses the skeptic 's proposals and supports common sense . Pierre Le Morvan ( 2011 ) has distinguished between three broad philosophical approaches to skepticism . The first he calls the `` Foil Approach . '' According to the latter , skepticism is treated as a problem to be solved , or challenge to be met , or threat to be parried ; skepticism 's value on this view , insofar as it is deemed to have one , accrues from its role as a foil contrastively illuminating what is required for knowledge and justified belief . The second he calls the `` Bypass Approach '' according to which skepticism is bypassed as a central concern of epistemology . Le Morvan advocates a third approach -- he dubs it the `` Health Approach '' -- that explores when skepticism is healthy and when it is not , or when it is virtuous and when it is vicious . Skeptical hypotheses ( edit ) A skeptical hypothesis is a hypothetical situation which can be used in an argument for skepticism about a particular claim or class of claims . Usually the hypothesis posits the existence of a deceptive power that deceives our senses and undermines the justification of knowledge otherwise accepted as justified . Skeptical hypotheses have received much attention in modern Western philosophy . The first skeptical hypothesis in modern Western philosophy appears in René Descartes ' Meditations on First Philosophy . At the end of the first Meditation Descartes writes : `` I will suppose ... that some evil demon of the utmost power and cunning has employed all his energies to deceive me . '' The `` brain in a vat '' hypothesis is cast in scientific terms . It supposes that one might be a disembodied brain kept alive in a vat , and fed false sensory signals , by a mad scientist . The `` dream argument '' of Descartes and Zhuangzi supposes reality to be indistinguishable from a dream . Descartes ' evil demon is a being `` as clever and deceitful as he is powerful , who has directed his entire effort to misleading me '' . The five minute hypothesis ( or omphalos hypothesis or Last Thursdayism ) suggests that the world was created recently together with records and traces indicating a greater age . The simulated reality hypothesis or `` Matrix hypothesis '' suggest that everyone , or even the entire universe , might be inside a computer simulation or virtual reality . History of Western tradition of skepticism ( edit ) Ancient Greek skepticism ( edit ) Pyrrho . The Western tradition of systematic skepticism goes back at least as far as Pyrrho of Elis ( b . circa 360 BCE ) . However , `` The 5th century sophists develop forms of debate which are ancestors of skeptical argumentation . They take pride in arguing in a persuasive fashion for both sides of an issue . '' There were many disputes that could be found within the philosophical schools of his day , and according to a later account of his life by his student Timon of Phlius , Pyrrho extolled a way to become happy and tranquil . `` Whoever wants to live well ( eudaimonia ) must consider these three questions : First , how are pragmata ( ethical matters , affairs , topics ) by nature ? Secondly , what attitude should we adopt towards them ? Thirdly , what will be the outcome for those who have this attitude ? '' Pyrrho 's answer is that `` As for pragmata they are all adiaphora ( undifferentiated by a logical differentia ) , astathmēta ( unstable , unbalanced , not measurable ) , and anepikrita ( unjudged , unfixed , undecidable ) . Therefore , neither our sense - perceptions nor our doxai ( views , theories , beliefs ) tell us the truth or lie ; so we certainly should not rely on them . Rather , we should be adoxastous ( without views ) , aklineis ( uninclined toward this side or that ) , and akradantous ( unwavering in our refusal to choose ) , saying about every single one that it no more is than it is not or it both is and is not or it neither is nor is not . The main principle of Pyrrho 's thought is expressed by the word acatalepsia , which connotes the ability to withhold assent from doctrines regarding the truth of things in their own nature ; against every statement its contradiction may be advanced with equal justification . Pyrrhonists are not `` skeptics '' in the modern , common sense of the term , meaning prone to disbelief . They had the goal of αταραξια ( ataraxia - peace of mind ) , and pitted one dogma against another to undermine belief in dogmatic propositions . The idea was to produce in the student a state of indifference towards ideas about non-evident matters . Since no one can observe or otherwise experience causation , external world ( its `` externality '' ) , ultimate purpose of the universe or life , justice , divinity , soul , etc. , they declared no need to believe in such things . The Pyrrhonists pointed out that , despite claims that such notions were necessary , some people ignorant of them get by just fine before learning about them . They further noted that science does not require belief and that faith in intelligible realities is different from pragmatic convention for the sake of experiment . For each intuitive notion ( e.g. the existence of an external world ) , the Pyrrhonists cited a contrary opinion to negate it . They added that consensus indicates neither truth nor even probability . Pyrrho 's thinking subsequently influenced Plato 's Academy , creating the Academic skepticism of the New or Middle Academy , Arcesilaus ( c. 315 -- 241 BCE ) and Carneades ( c. 213 -- 129 BCE ) argued from Stoic premises that the Stoics were actually committed to denying the possibility of knowledge , but seemed to maintain nothing themselves , but Clitomachus , a student of Carneades , interpreted his teacher 's philosophy as suggesting an early probabilistic account of knowledge . The Roman politician and philosopher , Cicero , also seems to have been a supporter of the probabilistic position attributed to the Middle Academy , even if the return to a more dogmatic orientation of that school was already beginning to take place . Diogenes Laërtius lists ten modes of reasoning which Pyrrhonists thought justified their position : Some things give animals pleasure which give other animals pain . What is useful to one animal is harmful to another . Each human has a different assortment of preferences , abilities and interests . Each sense gives a different impression of the same object . There is no reason to think one is sane while others are insane -- the opposite could be true . Cultures disagree regarding beauty , truth , goodness , religion , life and justice . There is no consistency in perception . ( His examples were that the color purple will show different tints depending on the lighting , a person looks different between noon and sunset , and a very heavy rock on land is lighter when in water ) The senses can be shown to be deceptive . ( From a distance , the square tower looks round and the sun looks small ) Things that strengthen in moderation will weaken when taken in excess , like wine and food . When a thing is rare , it surprises people . When a thing is common , it does not surprise people . Inter-relations among things are of course relative , and by themselves are unknowable . ( e.g. to know ' parent ' you must know ' child , ' and to know ' child ' you must know ' parent . ' Neither can be known by itself . ) In the centuries to come , the words Academician and Pyrrhonist would often be used to mean generally skeptic , often ignoring historical changes and distinctions between denial of knowledge and avoidance of belief , between degree of belief and absolute belief , and between possibility and probability . Sextus Empiricus ( edit ) Sextus Empiricus Sextus Empiricus ( c. 200 CE ) , the main authority for Pyrrhonian skepticism , worked outside the Academy , which by his time had ceased to be a skeptical or probabilistic school , and argued in a different direction , incorporating aspects of empiricism into the basis for evaluating knowledge , but without the insistence on experience as the absolute standard of it . Sextus ' empiricism was limited to the `` absolute minimum '' already mentioned -- that there seem to be appearances . He developed this basic thought of Pyrrho 's into lengthy arguments , most of them directed against Stoics and Epicureans , but also the Academic skeptics . The common anti-skeptical argument is that if one knows nothing , one can not know that one knows nothing , and so may know something after all . It is worth noting that such an argument only succeeds against the complete denial of the possibility of knowledge . Considering dogmatic the claims both to know and not to know , Sextus and his followers claimed neither . Instead , despite the apparent conflict with the goal of ataraxia , they claimed to continue searching for something that might be knowable . Empiricus , as the most systematic author of the works by Hellenistic sceptics which have survived , noted that there are at least ten modes of skepticism . These modes may be broken down into three categories : one may be skeptical of the subjective perceiver , of the objective world , and the relation between perceiver and the world . His arguments are as follows . Subjectively , both the powers of the senses and of reasoning may vary among different people . And since knowledge is a product of one or the other , and since neither are reliable , knowledge would seem to be in trouble . For instance , a color - blind person sees the world quite differently from everyone else . Moreover , one can not even give preference on the basis of the power of reason , i.e. , by treating the rational animal as a carrier of greater knowledge than the irrational animal , since the irrational animal is still adept at navigating their environment , which suggests the ability to `` know '' about some aspects of the environment . Secondly , the personality of the individual might also influence what they observe , since ( it is argued ) preferences are based on sense - impressions , differences in preferences can be attributed to differences in the way that people are affected by the object . ( Empiricus : 56 ) Third , the perceptions of each individual sense seemingly have nothing in common with the other senses : i.e. , the color `` red '' has little to do with the feeling of touching a red object . This is manifest when our senses `` disagree '' with each other : for example , a mirage presents certain visible features , but is not responsive to any other kind of sense . In that case , our other senses defeat the impressions of sight . But one may also be lacking enough powers of sense to understand the world in its entirety : if one had an extra sense , then one might know of things in a way that the present five senses are unable to advise us of . Given that our senses can be shown to be unreliable by appealing to other senses , and so our senses may be incomplete ( relative to some more perfect sense that one lacks ) , then it follows that all of our senses may be unreliable . ( Empiricus : 58 ) Fourth , our circumstances when one perceives anything may be either natural or unnatural , i.e. , one may be either in a state of wakefulness or sleep . But it is entirely possible that things in the world really are exactly as they appear to be to those in unnatural states ( i.e. , if everything were an elaborate dream ) . ( Empiricus : 59 ) One can have reasons for doubt that are based on the relationship between objective `` facts '' and subjective experience . The positions , distances , and places of objects would seem to affect how they are perceived by the person : for instance , the portico may appear tapered when viewed from one end , but symmetrical when viewed at the other ; and these features are different . Because they are different features , to believe the object has both properties at the same time is to believe it has two contradictory properties . Since this is absurd , one must suspend judgment about what properties it possesses due to the contradictory experiences . ( Empiricus : 63 ) One may also observe that the things one perceives are , in a sense , polluted by experience . Any given perception -- say , of a chair -- will always be perceived within some context or other ( i.e. , next to a table , on a mat , etc . ) Since this is the case , one often only speaks of ideas as they occur in the context of the other things that are paired with it , and therefore , one can never know of the true nature of the thing , but only how it appears to us in context . ( Empiricus : 64 ) Along the same lines , the skeptic may insist that all things are relative , by arguing that : Absolute appearances either differ from relative appearances , or they do not . If absolutes do not differ from relatives , then they are themselves relative . But if absolutes do differ from relatives , then they are relative , because all things that differ must differ from something ; and to `` differ '' from something is to be relative to something . ( Empiricus : 67 ) Finally , one has reason to disbelieve that one knows anything by looking at problems in understanding objects by themselves . Things , when taken individually , may appear to be very different from when they are in mass quantities : for instance , the shavings of a goat 's horn are white when taken alone , yet the horn intact is black . Augustine 's proof against skepticism ( edit ) Augustine of Hippo In 386 CE , Augustine published Contra Academicos ( Against the Skeptics ) , which counters many claims that Academic Skeptics make : Objection from Error : Through logic , Augustine proves that Skepticism does not lead to happiness like the academic skeptics claim . His proof is summarized below . A wise man lives according to reason , and thus is able to be happy . One who is searching for knowledge but never finds it is in error . Imperfection objection : People in error are not happy , because being in error is an imperfection , and people can not be happy with an imperfection . Conclusion : One who is still seeking knowledge can not be happy . Error of Non-Assent : Augustine 's proof that suspending belief does not fully prevent one from error . His proof is summarized below . Introduction of the error : Let P be true . If a person fails to believe P due to suspension of belief in order to avoid error , the person is also committing an error . The Anecdote of the Two Travelers : Travelers A and B are trying to reach the same destination . At a fork in the road , a poor shepherd tells them to go left . Traveler A immediately believes him and reaches the correct destination . Traveler B suspends belief , instead believing in the advice of a well - dressed townsman to go right , because his advice seems more persuasive . However , the townsman is actually a samardocus ( con man ) so Traveler B never reaches the correct destination . The Anecdote of the Adulterer : A man suspends belief that adultery is bad , and commits adultery with another man 's wife because it is persuasive to him . Under Academic Skepticism , this man can not be charged because he acted on what was persuasive to him without assenting belief . Conclusion : Suspending belief exposes individuals to an error as defined by the Academic Skeptics . Skepticism 's revival in the sixteenth century ( edit ) Michel de Montaigne ( 1533 - 1592 ) ( edit ) Michel de Montaigne The most notable figure of the Skepticism revival in the 1500s , Montaigne wrote about his studies of Academic Skepticism and Pyrrhonism through his Essais . His most notable writings on Skepticism occurred in an essay written mostly in 1575 - 1576 , `` Apologie de Raimond Sebond , '' when he was reading Sextus Empiricus and trying to translate Raimond Sebond 's writing , including his proof of Christianity 's natural existence . The reception to Montaigne 's translations included some criticisms of Sebond 's proof . Montaigne responded to some of them in Apologie , including a defense for Sebond 's logic that is skeptical in nature and similar to Pyrrhonism . His refutation is as follows : Critics claiming Sebond 's arguments are weak show how egoistic humans believe that their logic is superior to others . Many animals can be observed to be superior to humans in certain respects . To argue this point , Montaigne even writes about dogs who are logical and creates their own syllogisms to understand the world around them . This was an example used in Sextus Empiricus . Since animals also have rationality , the over-glorification of man 's mental capabilities is a trap -- man 's folly . One man 's reason can not be assuredly better than another 's as a result . Ignorance is even recommend by religion so that an individual can reach faith through obediently following divine instructions to learn , not by one 's logic . Marin Mersenne ( 1588 -- 1648 ) ( edit ) Marin Mersenne Mersenne was an author , a mathematician , a scientist , and a philosopher . He wrote in defense of science and Christianity against atheists and Pyrrhonists before retiring to encourage development of science and the `` new philosophy , '' which includes philosophers like Gassendi , Descartes , Galileo , and Hobbes . A major work of his in relation to Skepticism is La Verité des Sciences , in which he argues that although we may not be able to know the true nature of things , we can still formulate certain laws and rules for sense - perceptions through science . Additionally , he points out that we do not doubt everything because : Humans do agree about some things , for example , an ant is smaller than an elephant There are natural laws governing our sense - perceptions , such as optics , which allow us to eliminate inaccuracies Man created tools such as rulers and scales to measure things and eliminate doubts such as bent oars , pigeons ' necks , and round towers . A Pyrrhonist might refute these points by saying that senses deceive , and thus knowledge turns into infinite regress or circular logic . Thus Mersenne argues that this can not be the case , since commonly agreed upon rules of thumb can be hypothesized and tested over time to ensure that they continue to hold . Furthermore , if everything can be doubted , the doubt can also be doubted , so on and so forth . Thus , according to Mersenne , something has to be true . Finally , Mersenne writes about all the mathematical , physical , and other scientific knowledge that is true by repeated testing , and has practical use value . Notably , Mersenne was one of the few philosophers who accepted Hobbes ' radical ideology -- he saw it as a new science of man . Skepticism in the seventeenth century ( edit ) Thomas Hobbes Thomas Hobbes ( 1588 - 1679 ) ( edit ) During his long stay in Paris , Thomas Hobbes was actively involved in the circle of major skeptics like Gassendi and Mersenne who focus on the study of skepticism and epistemology . Unlike his fellow skeptic friends , Hobbes never treated skepticism as a main topic for discussion in his works . Nonetheless , Hobbes was still labeled as a religious skeptic by his contemporaries for raising doubts about Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch and his political and psychological explanation of the religions . Although Hobbes himself did not go further to challenge other religious principles , his suspicion for the Mosaic authorship did siginificant damage to the religious traditions and paved the way for later religious skeptics like Spinoza and Isaac La Peyrère to further question some of the fundamental beliefs of the Judeo - Christian religious system . Hobbes ' answer to skepticism and epsitmology was innvatively political : he believed that moral knowledge and religious knowledge were in their nature relative , and there was no absolute standard of truth governing them . As a result , it was out of political reasons that certain truth standards about religions and ethics were devised and established in order to form functioning government and stable society . Baruch Spinoza Baruch Spinoza and religious skepticism ( 1632 - 1677 ) ( edit ) Baruch Spinoza was among the first European philosophers who were religious skeptics . He was quite familiar with the philosophy of DesCartes and unprecedentedly extended the application of the Cartesian method to the religious context by analyzing religious texts with it . Spinoza sought to dispute the knowledge - claims of the Judeo - Charitian - Islamic religious system by examining its two foundations : the Scripture and the Miracles . He claimed that all Cartesian knowledge , or the rational knowledge should be accessible to the entire population . Therefore , the Scriptures , aside from those by Jesus , should not be considered the secret knowledge attained from God but just the imagination of the prophets . The Scriptures , as a result of this claim , could not serve as a base for knowledge and were reduced to simple ancient historical texts . Moreover , Spinoza also rejected the possibility for the Miracles by simply asserting that people only considered them miraculous due to their lack of understanding of the nature . By rejecting the validity of the Scriptures and the Miracles , Spinoza demolished the foundation for religious knowledge - claim and established his understanding of the Cartesian knowledge as the sole authority of knowledge - claims . Despite being deeply - skeptical of the religions , Spinoza was in fact exceedingly anti-skeptical towards reason and rationality . He steadfastly confirmed the legitimacy of reason by associating it with the acknowledgement of God , and thereby skepticism with the rational approach to knowledge was not due to problems with the rational knowledge but from the fundamental lack of understanding of God . Spinoza 's religious skepticism and anti-skepticism with reason thus helped him transform epistemology by separating the theological knowledge - claims and the rational knowledge - claims . Pierre Bayle ( 1647 - 1706 ) ( edit ) Pierre Bayle by Louis Ferdinand Elle Pierre Bayle was a French philosopher in the late 17th century that was described by Richard Popkin to be a `` supersceptic '' who carried out the sceptic tradition to the extreme . Bayle was born in a Calvnist family in Carla - Bayle , and during the early stage of his life , he converted into Catholicism before returning to Calvinism . This conversion between religions caused him to leave France for the more religiously tolerant Holland where he stayed and worked for the rest of his life . Bayle believed that truth can not be obtained through reason and that all human endeavor to acquire absolute knowledge would inevitably lead to failure . Bayle 's main approach was highly skeptical and destructive : he sought to examine and analyze all existing theories in all fields of human knowledge in order to show the faults in their reasoning and thus the absurdity of the theories themselves . In his magnum opus , Dictionnaire Historique et Critique ( Historical and Critical Dictionary ) , Bayle painstakingly identified the logical flaws in several works throughout the history in order to emphasize the absolute futility of rationality . Bayle 's complete nullification of reason led him to conclude that faith is the final and only way to truth . Bayle 's real intention behind his extremely destructive works remained controversial . Some described him to be a Fideist , while others speculated him to be a secret Atheist . However , no matter what his original intention was , Bayle did cast significant influence on the upcoming Age of Enlightenment with his destruction of some of the most essential theological ideas and his justification of religious tolerance Atheism in his works . Kant 's skepticism and its influence on German philosophy ( edit ) See also : Salomon Maimon Kant Immanuel Kant ( 1724 -- 1804 ) tried to provide a ground for empirical science against David Hume 's skeptical treatment of the notion of cause and effect . Hume ( 1711 -- 1776 ) argued that for the notion of cause and effect no analysis is possible which is also acceptable to the empiricist program primarily outlined by John Locke ( 1632 -- 1704 ) . But , Kant 's attempt to give a ground to knowledge in the empirical sciences at the same time cut off the possibility of knowledge of any other knowledge , especially what Kant called `` metaphysical knowledge '' . So , for Kant , empirical science was legitimate , but metaphysics and philosophy was mostly illegitimate . The most important exception to this demarcation of the legitimate from the illegitimate was ethics , the principles of which Kant argued can be known by pure reason without appeal to the principles required for empirical knowledge . Thus , with respect to metaphysics and philosophy in general ( ethics being the exception ) , Kant was a skeptic . This skepticism as well as the explicit skepticism of G.E. Schulze gave rise to a robust discussion of skepticism in classical German philosophy , especially by Hegel . Kant 's idea was that the real world ( the noumenon or thing - in - itself ) was inaccessible to human reason ( though the empirical world of nature can be known to human understanding ) and therefore we can never know anything about the ultimate reality of the world . Hegel argued against Kant that although Kant was right that using what Hegel called `` finite '' concepts of `` the understanding '' precluded knowledge of reality , we were not constrained to use only `` finite '' concepts and could actually acquire knowledge of reality using `` infinite concepts '' that arise from self - consciousness . Emerging discussion after the death of Richard Popkin ( edit ) Because Richard Popkin was one of the founding fathers of study in this area , the account of the history of Skepticism in his books are accepted as the standard . However , recent scholars have been suggesting an addition to Popkin 's account . Instead of centering the history of Skepticism around specific figures who wrote key skeptical works , Skepticism is proposed to be a continuous engagement with works by ancients like Sextus Empiricus to modern thinkers like Hume . The engagement with previous works were probably due to unwanted doubts about accepted episteme instead of purely due to classical writings becoming available at any specific time . History of skepticism in non-western philosophy ( edit ) Ancient Indian skepticism ( edit ) Indian skepticism towards dogmatic statements is illustrated by the famous tale of the Blind men and an elephant , common in Buddhism and Jainism . Ajñana ( edit ) Main article : Ajñana Ajñana ( literally ' non-knowledge ' ) were the skeptical school of ancient Indian philosophy . It was a śramaṇa movement and a major rival of early Buddhism and Jainism . They have been recorded in Buddhist and Jain texts . They held that it was impossible to obtain knowledge of metaphysical nature or ascertain the truth value of philosophical propositions ; and even if knowledge was possible , it was useless and disadvantageous for final salvation . Buddhism ( edit ) The historical Buddha asserted certain doctrines as true , such as the possibility of nirvana , however he also upheld a form of skepticism with regards to certain questions which he left `` un-expounded '' ( avyākata ) and some he saw as `` incomprehensible '' ( acinteyya ) . Because the Buddha saw these questions ( which tend to be of metaphysical topics ) as unhelpful on the path and merely leading to confusion and `` a thicket of views '' , he promoted suspension of judgment towards them . This allowed him to carve out an epistemic middle way between what he saw as the extremes of claiming absolute objectivity ( associated with the claims to omniscience of the Jain Mahavira ) and extreme skepticism ( associated with the Ajñana thinker Sanjaya Belatthiputta ) . Later Buddhist Philosophy remained highly skeptical of Indian metaphysical arguments . The Buddhist philosopher Nagarjuna in particular has been seen as the founder of the Madhyamaka school , which has been in turn compared with Greek Skepticism . Nagarjuna 's statement that he has `` no thesis '' ( pratijña ) has parallels in the statements of Sextus Empiricus of having `` no position '' . Nagarjuna famously opens his magnum opus , the Mulamadhyamakakarika , with the statement that the Buddha claimed that true happiness was found through dispelling ' vain thinking ' ( prapañca , also `` conceptual proliferation '' ) . According to Richard P. Hayes , the Buddhist philosopher Dignaga is also a kind of skeptic , which is in line with most early Buddhist philosophy . Hayes writes : ... in both early Buddhism and in the Skeptics one can find the view put forward that man 's pursuit of happiness , the highest good , is obstructed by his tenacity in holding ungrounded and unnecessary opinions about all manner of things . Much of Buddhist philosophy , I shall argue , can be seen as an attempt to break this habit of holding on to opinions . Scholars like Adrian Kuzminski have argued that Pyrrho of Elis ( ca . 365 -- 270 ) might have been influenced by Indian Buddhists during his journey with Alexander the Great . Cārvāka philosophy ( edit ) The Cārvāka ( Sanskrit : चार्वाक ) school of materialism , also known as Lokāyata , is a distinct branch of Indian philosophy . The school is named after Cārvāka , author of the Bārhaspatya - sūtras and was founded in approximately 500 BC . Cārvāka is classified as a `` heterodox '' ( nāstika ) system , characterized as a materialistic and atheistic school of thought . This school was also known for being strongly skeptical of the claims of Indian religions , such as reincarnation and karma . Jainism ( edit ) Main articles : Anekantavada and Syadvada While Jain philosophy claims that is it possible to achieve omniscience , absolute knowledge ( Kevala Jnana ) , at the moment of enlightenment , their theory of anekāntavāda or ' many sided - ness ' , also known as the principle of relative pluralism , allows for a practical form of skeptical thought regarding philosophical and religious doctrines ( for un-enlightened beings , not all - knowing arihants ) . According to this theory , the truth or the reality is perceived differently from different points of view , and that no single point of view is the complete truth . Jain doctrine states that , an object has infinite modes of existence and qualities and , as such , they can not be completely perceived in all its aspects and manifestations , due to inherent limitations of the humans . Anekāntavāda is literally the doctrine of non-onesidedness or manifoldness ; it is often translated as `` non-absolutism '' . Syādvāda is the theory of conditioned predication which provides an expression to anekānta by recommending that epithet `` Syād '' be attached to every expression . Syādvāda is not only an extension of Anekānta ontology , but a separate system of logic capable of standing on its own force . As reality is complex , no single proposition can express the nature of reality fully . Thus the term `` syāt '' should be prefixed before each proposition giving it a conditional point of view and thus removing any dogmatism in the statement . For Jains , fully enlightened beings are able to see reality from all sides and thus have ultimate knowledge of all things . This idea of omniscience was criticized by Buddhists such as Dharmakirti . Ancient Chinese philosophy ( edit ) A Painting of Zhuangzi and his Butterfly Dream Zhuang Zhou ( ~ 369 - 286 BC ) ( edit ) Zhuang Zhou ( 庄子 , `` Master Zhuang '' ) was a famous ancient Chinese Taoism philospher during the Hundred Schools of Thought period . Zhuang Zhou demonstrated his skeptical thinking through several anecdotes in the preeminent work Zhuangzi that was attributed to him : `` The Debate on the Joy of Fish '' ( 知 鱼 之 乐 ) : In this anecdote , Zhuang Zhou argued with his fellow philosopher Hui Shi on if they knew the fish in the pond was happy or not , and Zhuang Zhou said the famous sentence that `` You are not I . How do you know that I do not know that the fish are happy ? '' ( Autumn Floods 秋水 篇 , Zhuangzi ) `` The Butterfly of the Dream '' ( 周公 梦 蝶 ) : The paradox of `` Butterfly Dream '' described Zhuang Zhou 's confusion after dreaming himself to be a butterfly : `` But he did n't know if he was Zhuang Zhou who had dreamt he was a butterfly , or a butterfly dreaming that he was Zhuang Zhou . '' ( Discussion on Making All Things Equal 齐 物 篇 , Zhuangzi ) Through these anecdotes in Zhuangzi , Zhuang Zhou indicated his belief in the limitation of language and human communication and the inaccessibility of universal truth which established himself as an skeptic . But Zhuang Zhou was by no means a radical skeptic , since he only applied skeptical methods partially in some of his arguments to demonstrate his Taoism beliefs while adopting these Taoism beliefs in a dogmatic fashion . Wang Chong ( 27 -- ~ 100 A.D. ) ( edit ) Wang Chong ( 王充 ) was the leading figure of the skeptic branch of the Confucianism school in China during the first century A.D. He introduced a method of rational critique and applied it to the wide - spread dogmatism thinking of his age like phenomenology ( the main contemporary Confucianism ideology that linked all natural phenomenons with human ethics ) , state - led cults , and popular superstition . His own philosophy incorporated both Taoism and Confucianism thinkings , and it was based on a secular , rational practice of developing hypotheses based on natural events to explain the universe which exemplified a form of naturalism that resembled the philosophical idea of Epicureans like Lucretius . Medieval arabic philosophy ( edit ) In Islamic theology and Islamic philosophy , the scholar Al - Ghazali ( 1058 -- 1111 ) is considered a pioneer of methodic doubt and skepticism . His 11th century book titled The Incoherence of the Philosophers marks a major turn in Islamic epistemology , as Ghazali effectively discovered a methodic form of philosophical skepticism that would not be commonly seen in the West until René Descartes , George Berkeley and David Hume . The encounter with skepticism led Ghazali to embrace a form of theological occasionalism , or the belief that all causal events and interactions are not the product of material conjunctions but rather the immediate and present will of God . While he himself was a critic of the philosophers , Ghazali was a master in the art of philosophy and had immensely studied the field . After such a long education in philosophy , as well as a long process of reflection , he had criticized the philosophical method . The autobiography Ghazali wrote towards the end of his life , The Deliverance From Error ( Al - munqidh min al - ḍalāl ; several English translations ) is considered a work of major importance . In it , Ghazali recounts how , once a crisis of epistemological skepticism was resolved by `` a light which God Most High cast into my breast ... the key to most knowledge , '' he studied and mastered the arguments of Kalam , Islamic philosophy , and Ismailism . Though appreciating what was valid in the first two of these , at least , he determined that all three approaches were inadequate and found ultimate value only in the mystical experience and spiritual insight ( Spiritual intuitive thought -- Firasa and Nur ) he attained as a result of following Sufi practices . William James , in Varieties of Religious Experience , considered the autobiography an important document for `` the purely literary student who would like to become acquainted with the inwardness of religions other than the Christian '' , comparing it to recorded personal religious confessions and autobiographical literature in the Christian tradition . Scholars have noted the similarities between Descartes ' Discourse on Method and Ghazali 's work and the writer George Henry Lewes went even further by claiming that `` had any translation of it ( The Revival of Religious Sciences ) in the days of Descartes existed , everyone would have cried out against the plagiarism . '' Aztec philosophy ( edit ) Recordings of Aztec philosophy suggest that the elite classes believed in an essentially panentheistic worldview , in which teotl represents an unified , underlying universal force . Human beings can not truly perceive teotl due to its chaotic , constantly changing nature , just the `` masks '' / facets it is manifested as .

World maps assuming a spherical Earth first appear in the Hellenistic period . The developments of Greek geography during this time , notably by Eratosthenes and Posidonius culminated in the Roman era , with Ptolemy 's world map ( 2nd century CE ) , which would remain authoritative throughout the Middle Ages . Since Ptolemy , knowledge of the approximate size of the globe allowed cartographers to estimate the extent of their geographical knowledge , and to indicate parts of the globe known to exist but not yet explored as terra incognita . With the Age of Discovery , during the 15th to 18th centuries , world maps became increasingly accurate ; exploration of Antarctica and the interior of Africa by western mapmakers was left to the 19th and early 20th century .

Babylonian Imago mundi ( c. 600 BCE ) ( edit ) Main article : Babylonian Map of the World A Babylonian world map , known as the Imago Mundi , is commonly dated to the 6th century BCE . The map as reconstructed by Eckhard Unger shows Babylon on the Euphrates , surrounded by a circular landmass showing Assyria , Urartu ( Armenia ) and several cities , in turn surrounded by a `` bitter river '' ( Oceanus ) , with seven islands arranged around it so as to form a seven - pointed star . The accompanying text mentions seven outer regions beyond the encircling ocean . The descriptions of five of them have survived : the third island is where `` the winged bird ends not his flight , '' i.e. , can not reach . on the fourth island `` the light is brighter than that of sunset or stars '' : it lay in the northwest , and after sunset in summer was practically in semi-obscurity . The fifth island , due north , lay in complete darkness , a land `` where one sees nothing , '' and `` the sun is not visible . '' the sixth island , `` where a horned bull dwells and attacks the newcomer '' the seventh island lay in the east and is `` where the morning dawns . '' Anaximander ( c. 610 -- 546 BCE ) ( edit ) Reconstruction of Anaximander 's map Anaximander ( died c. 546 BCE ) is credited with having created one of the first maps of the world , which was circular in form and showed the known lands of the world grouped around the Aegean Sea at the center . This was all surrounded by the ocean . Reconstruction of Hecataeus ' map Hecataeus of Miletus ( c. 550 -- 476 BCE ) ( edit ) Hecataeus of Miletus ( died c. 476 BCE ) is credited with a work entitled Ges Periodos ( `` Travels round the Earth '' or `` World Survey ' ) , in two books each organized in the manner of a periplus , a point - to - point coastal survey . One on Europe , is essentially a periplus of the Mediterranean , describing each region in turn , reaching as far north as Scythia . The other book , on Asia , is arranged similarly to the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea of which a version of the 1st century CE survives . Hecataeus described the countries and inhabitants of the known world , the account of Egypt being particularly comprehensive ; the descriptive matter was accompanied by a map , based upon Anaximander 's map of the earth , which he corrected and enlarged . The work only survives in some 374 fragments , by far the majority being quoted in the geographical lexicon Ethnika compiled by Stephanus of Byzantium . Eratosthenes ( 276 -- 194 BCE ) ( edit ) 1883 reconstruction of Eratosthenes ' map Eratosthenes ( 276 -- 194 BCE ) drew an improved world map , incorporating information from the campaigns of Alexander the Great and his successors . Asia became wider , reflecting the new understanding of the actual size of the continent . Eratosthenes was also the first geographer to incorporate parallels and meridians within his cartographic depictions , attesting to his understanding of the spherical nature of the earth . Posidonius ( c. 150 -- 130 BCE ) ( edit ) A 1628 reconstruction of Posidonius ideas about the positions of continents ( many details could n't have been known by Posidonius ) Main article : Posidonius Posidonius ( or Poseidonius ) of Apameia ( c. 135 -- 51 BCE ) , was a Greek Stoic philosopher who traveled throughout the Roman world and beyond and was a celebrated polymath throughout the Greco - Roman world , like Aristotle and Eratosthenes . His work `` about the ocean and the adjacent areas '' was a general geographical discussion , showing how all the forces had an effect on each other and applied also to human life . He measured the Earth 's circumference by reference to the position of the star Canopus . His measure of 240,000 stadia translates to 24,000 miles ( 39,000 km ) , close to the actual circumference of 24,901 miles ( 40,074 km ) . He was informed in his approach by Eratosthenes , who a century earlier used the elevation of the Sun at different latitudes . Both men 's figures for the Earth 's circumference were uncannily accurate , aided in each case by mutually compensating errors in measurement . However , the version of Posidonius ' calculation popularised by Strabo was revised by correcting the distance between Rhodes and Alexandria to 3,750 stadia , resulting in a circumference of 180,000 stadia , or 18,000 miles ( 29,000 km ) . Ptolemy discussed and favored this revised figure of Posidonius over Eratosthenes in his Geographia , and during the Middle Ages scholars divided into two camps regarding the circumference of the Earth , one side identifying with Eratosthenes ' calculation and the other with Posidonius ' 180,000 stadion measure . Strabo ( c. 64 BCE -- 24 CE ) ( edit ) Main articles : Strabo and Geographica Strabo is mostly famous for his 17 - volume work Geographica , which presented a descriptive history of people and places from different regions of the world known to his era . The Geographica first appeared in Western Europe in Rome as a Latin translation issued around 1469 . Although Strabo referenced the antique Greek astronomers Eratosthenes and Hipparchus and acknowledged their astronomical and mathematical efforts towards geography , he claimed that a descriptive approach was more practical . Geographica provides a valuable source of information on the ancient world , especially when this information is corroborated by other sources . Within the books of Geographica is a map of Europe . Whole world maps according to Strabo are reconstructions from his written text . Pomponius mela ( c. 43 CE ) ( edit ) An 1898 reconstruction of Pomponius Melas view of the World . Main article : Pomponius Mela Pomponius is unique among ancient geographers in that , after dividing the earth into five zones , of which two only were habitable , he asserts the existence of antichthones , people inhabiting the southern temperate zone inaccessible to the folk of the northern temperate regions due to the unbearable heat of the intervening torrid belt . On the divisions and boundaries of Europe , Asia and Africa , he repeats Eratosthenes ; like all classical geographers from Alexander the Great ( except Ptolemy ) he regards the Caspian Sea as an inlet of the Northern Ocean , corresponding to the Persian ( Persian Gulf ) and Arabian ( Red Sea ) gulfs on the south . Marinus of Tyre ( c. 120 CE ) ( edit ) Main article : Marinus of Tyre Marinus of Tyre 's world maps were the first in the Roman Empire to show China . Around 120 CE , Marinus wrote that the habitable world was bounded on the west by the Fortunate Islands . The text of his geographical treatise however is lost . He also invented the equirectangular projection , which is still used in map creation today . A few of Marinus ' opinions are reported by Ptolemy . Marinus was of the opinion that the Okeanos was separated into an eastern and a western part by the continents ( Europe , Asia and Africa ) . He thought that the inhabited world stretched in latitude from Thule ( Shetland ) to Agisymba ( Tropic of Capricorn ) and in longitude from the Isles of the Blessed to Shera ( China ) . Marinus also coined the term Antarctic , referring to the opposite of the Arctic Circle . His chief legacy is that he first assigned to each place a proper latitude and longitude ; he used a `` Meridian of the Isles of the Blessed ( Canary Islands or Cape Verde Islands ) '' as the zero meridian . Ptolemy ( c. 150 ) ( edit ) The oldest surviving Ptolemaic world map , redrawn according to his 1st projection by monks at Constantinople under Maximus Planudes around 1300 Nicolaus Germanus 's 1467 Latin world map according to Ptolemy 's 2nd projection , the first known to the west Main article : Ptolemy world map Surviving texts of Ptolemy 's Geography , first composed c. 150 , note that he continued the use of Marinus 's equirectangular projection for its regional maps while finding it inappropriate for maps of the entire known world . Instead , in Book VII of his work , he outlines three separate projections of increasing difficulty and fidelity . Ptolemy followed Marinus in underestimating the circumference of the world ; combined with accurate absolute distances , this led him to also overestimate the length of the Mediterranean Sea in terms of degrees . His prime meridian at the Fortunate Isles was therefore around 10 actual degrees further west of Alexandria than intended , a mistake that was corrected by Al - Khwārizmī following the translation of Syriac editions of Ptolemy into Arabic in the 9th century . The oldest surviving manuscripts of the work date to Maximus Planudes 's restoration of the text a little before 1300 at Chora Monastery in Constantinople ( Istanbul ) ; surviving manuscripts from this era seem to preserve separate recensions of the text which diverged as early as the 2nd or 4th century . A passage in some of the recensions credits an Agathodaemon with drafting a world map , but no maps seem to have survived to be used by Planude 's monks . Instead , he commissioned new world maps calculated from Ptolemy 's thousands of coordinates and drafted according to the text 's 1st and 2nd projections , along with the equirectangular regional maps . A copy was translated into Latin by Jacobus Angelus at Florence around 1406 and soon supplemented with maps on the 1st projection . Maps using the 2nd projection were not made in Western Europe until Nicolaus Germanus 's 1466 edition . Ptolemy 's 3rd ( and hardest ) projection does not seem to have been used at all before new discoveries expanded the known world beyond the point where it provided a useful format . Cicero 's Dream of Scipio described the Earth as a globe of insignificant size in comparison to the remainder of the cosmos . Many medieval manuscripts of Macrobius ' Commentary on the Dream of Scipio include maps of the Earth , including the antipodes , zonal maps showing the Ptolemaic climates derived from the concept of a spherical Earth and a diagram showing the Earth ( labeled as globus terrae , the sphere of the Earth ) at the center of the hierarchically ordered planetary spheres . Tabula Peutingeriana ( 4th century ) ( edit ) The Tabula Peutingeriana ( Peutinger table ) is an itinerarium showing the cursus publicus , the road network in the Roman Empire . It is a 13th - century copy of an original map dating from the 4th century , covering Europe , parts of Asia ( India ) and North - Africa . The map is named after Konrad Peutinger , a German 15th - 16th - century humanist and antiquarian . The map was discovered in a library in Worms by Conrad Celtes , who was unable to publish his find before his death , and bequeathed the map in 1508 to Peutinger . It is conserved at the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek , Hofburg , Vienna . Tabula Peutingeriana , from Iberia in the west , to India in the east . Middle Ages ( edit ) Further information : Mappa mundi World map by Cosmas Indicopleustes Cosmas Indicopleustes ' map ( 6th century ) ( edit ) Around 550 Cosmas Indicopleustes wrote the copiously illustrated Christian Topography , a work partly based on his personal experiences as a merchant on the Red Sea and Indian Ocean in the early 6th century . Though his cosmogony is refuted by modern science , he has given a historic description of India and Sri Lanka during of the 6th century , which is invaluable to historians . Cosmas seems to have personally visited the Kingdom of Axum in modern Ethiopia and Eritrea , as well as India and Sri Lanka . In 522 CE , he visited the Malabar Coast ( South India ) . A major feature of his Topography is Cosmas ' worldview that the world is flat , and that the heavens form the shape of a box with a curved lid , a view he took from unconventional interpretations of Christian scripture . Cosmas aimed to prove that pre-Christian geographers had been wrong in asserting that the earth was spherical and that it was in fact modelled on the tabernacle , the house of worship described to Moses by God during the Jewish Exodus from Egypt . From a 12th - century copy of Etymologiae Isidore of Sevilla 's T and O map ( c. 636 ) ( edit ) Main article : T and O map The medieval T and O maps originate with the description of the world in the Etymologiae of Isidore of Sevilla ( died 636 ) . This qualitative and conceptual type of medieval cartography represents only the top - half of a spherical Earth . It was presumably tacitly considered a convenient projection of the inhabited portion of the world known in Roman and Medieval times ( that is , the northern temperate half of the globe ) . The T is the Mediterranean , dividing the three continents , Asia , Europe and Africa , and the O is the surrounding Ocean . Jerusalem was generally represented in the center of the map . Asia was typically the size of the other two continents combined . Because the sun rose in the east , Paradise ( the Garden of Eden ) was generally depicted as being in Asia , and Asia was situated at the top portion of the map . World map by Ibn Hawqal ( south at top ) Ibn hawqals map ( 10th century ) ( edit ) Main article : Ibn Hawqal Ibn Hawqal was an Arab scientist of the 10th century who developed a world map , based on his own travel experience and probably the works of Ptolemy . Another such cartographer was Al - Istakhri . The Anglo - Saxon ' Cotton ' world map ( c. 1040 ) . Anglo - Saxon Cotton world map ( c. 1040 ) ( edit ) This map appears in a copy of a classical work on geography , the Latin version by Priscian of the Periegesis , that was among the manuscripts in the Cotton library ( MS . Tiberius B.V. , fol . 56v ) , now in the British Library . It is not intended purely as an illustration to that work , for it contains much material gathered from other sources , including some which would have been the most up - to - date available , although it is based on a distant Roman original ( similar to the source of another 11th - century world map , illustrating an edition of Isidore of Seville ) -- on which the network of lines appears to indicate the boundaries of imperial provinces . The date of drawing was formerly estimated at about CE 992 -- 994 , based on suggested links to the journey of Archbishop Sigeric of Canterbury from Rome but more recent analysis indicates that , although the information was revised about that time , the map was probably drawn between 1025 and 1050 . Like the later map by al - Idrisi ( see below ) this map is clearly outside the largely symbolic early medieval mapping tradition , but equally it is not based on the famous Ptolemaic co-ordinate system . East is at the top , but Jerusalem is not in the centre , and the Garden of Eden is nowhere to be seen . Unusually , all the waterways of Africa , not just the Red Sea , are depicted in red ( mountains are green ) . The depiction of the far East is ambitious , including India and Taprobane ( Sri Lanka ) -- the latter depicted according to the exaggerated classical conception of its size . Unsurprisingly , Britain itself is depicted in some detail . Great Britain , unusually by medieval standards , is shown as one island , albeit with an exaggerated Cornish promontory , and Mona , Ireland and the many Scottish islands are all indicated . The cartographer is slightly confused by Iceland , depicting it both by a version of its classical name ' Thule ' , north - west of Britain , and as ' Island ' , logically linked with Scandinavia . World map from the Saint - Sever Beatus Beatus mappa mundi ( 1050 ) ( edit ) Main article : Beatus of Liébana Beatus of Liébana ( c. 730 -- 798 ) was an Asturian monk and theologian . He corresponded with Alcuin , and took part in the Adoptionist controversy , criticizing the views of Felix of Urgel and Elipandus of Toledo . He is best remembered today as the author of his Commentary on the Apocalypse , published in 776 . An illustrated manuscript known as the Saint - Sever Beatus , featuring the Commentary , was produced around 1050 at the Abbey of Saint - Sever , Aquitaine , France . It contains one of the oldest Christian world maps as an illustration of the Commentary . Although the original manuscript and map has not survived , copies of the map survive in several of the extant manuscripts . al - Kashgari 's Diwanu Lughat at - Turk . Mahmud al - Kashgari 's map ( 1072 ) ( edit ) Qarakhanid Uyghur scholar Mahmud al - Kashgari compiled a Compendium of the languages of the Turks in the 11th century . The manuscript is illustrated with a `` Turkocentric '' world map , oriented with east ( or rather , perhaps , the direction of midsummer sunrise ) on top , centered on the ancient city of Balasagun in what is now Kyrgyzstan , showing the Caspian Sea to the north , and Iraq , Armenia , Yemen and Egypt to the west , China and Japan to the east , Hindustan , Kashmir , Gog and Magog to the south . Conventional symbols are used throughout -- blue lines for rivers , red lines for mountain ranges etc . The world is shown as encircled by the ocean . The map is now kept at the Pera Museum in Istanbul . Inversion of Tabula Rogeriana ( 1154 ) . Al - Idrisi 's Tabula Rogeriana ( 1154 ) ( edit ) Main article : Tabula Rogeriana The Arab geographer , Muhammad al - Idrisi , incorporated the knowledge of Africa , the Indian Ocean and the Far East gathered by Arab merchants and explorers with the information inherited from the classical geographers to create the most accurate map of the world at the time . It remained the most accurate world map for the next three centuries . The Tabula Rogeriana was drawn by Al - Idrisi in 1154 for the Norman King Roger II of Sicily , after a stay of eighteen years at his court , where he worked on the commentaries and illustrations of the map . The map , written in Arabic , shows the Eurasian continent in its entirety , but only shows the northern part of the African continent . The Ebstorf Map , c. 1235 . Ebstorf mappa mundi ( 1235 ) ( edit ) Main article : Ebstorf Map The Ebstorf Map was an example of a European mappa mundi , made by Gervase of Ebstorf , who was possibly the same man as Gervase of Tilbury , some time in the thirteenth century . It was a very large map : painted on 30 goatskins sewn together , it measured about 3.6 m × 3.6 m ( 12 ft × 12 ft ) . The head of Christ was depicted at the top of the map , with his hands on either side and his feet at the bottom . The Map was a greatly elaborated version of the medieval tripartite or T and O map ; it was centred on Jerusalem with east on top of the map . It represented Rome in the shape of a lion , and had an evident interest in the distribution of bishoprics . The original was destroyed during World War II , but some photographs and colour copies remain . The Hereford Mappa Mundi , c. 1300 Hereford mappa mundi ( 1300 ) ( edit ) Main article : Hereford Mappa Mundi The Hereford Mappa Mundi is a detailed mappa mundi based on the T and O map style , dating to c. 1300 . The map is signed by one `` Richard of Haldingham or Lafford '' . Drawn on a single sheet of vellum , it measures 158 by 133 cm ( 62 by 52 in ) . The writing is in black ink , with additional red and gold , and blue or green for water ( with the Red Sea coloured red ) . The captions demonstrate clearly the multiple functions of these large medieval maps , conveying a mass of information on Biblical subjects and general history , in addition to geography . Jerusalem is drawn at the centre of the circle , east is on top , showing the Garden of Eden in a circle at the edge of the world ( 1 ) . Great Britain is drawn at the northwestern border ( bottom left , 22 & 23 ) . Curiously , the labels for Africa and Europe are reversed , with Europe scribed in red and gold as ' Africa ' , and vice versa . Pietro Vescontes world map , 1321 Pietro Vesconte 's world map ( 1321 ) ( edit ) Italian geographer Pietro Vesconte was a pioneer of the field of the portolan chart . His nautical charts are among the earliest to map the Mediterraean and Black Sea regions accurately . He also produced progressively more accurate depictions of the coastlines of northern Europe . In his world map of 1321 he brought his experience as a maker of portolans to bear ; the map introduced a previously unheard of accuracy to the mappa mundi genre . The world map , as well as a map of the Holy Land and plan of Acre and Jerusalem were made for inclusion in Marino Sanuto 's Liber secretorum fidelium cruces . Two leaves of The Catalan world atlas Catalan world atlas ( 1375 ) ( edit ) Main article : Catalan Atlas The Catalan World Atlas was produced by the Majorcan cartographic school and is attributed to Cresques Abraham . It has been in the royal library of France ( now the Bibliothèque nationale de France ) since the time of Charles V . The Catalan Atlas originally consisted of 6 vellum leaves folded down the middle painted in various colors including gold and silver . The first two leaves contain texts in Catalan language covering cosmography , astronomy , and astrology . These texts are accompanied by illustrations . The texts and illustration emphasize the Earth 's spherical shape and the state of the known world . They also provide information to sailors on tides and how to tell time at night . Unlike many other nautical charts , the Catalan Atlas is read with the north at the bottom . As a result of this the maps are oriented from left to right , from the Far East to the Atlantic . The first two leaves , forming the oriental portion of the Catalan Atlas , illustrate numerous religious references as well as a synthesis of medieval mappae mundi ( Jerusalem located close to the centre ) and the travel literature of the time , notably Marco Polo 's Book of Marvels and the Travels and Voyage of Sir John Mandeville . Many Indian and Chinese cities can be identified . Da Ming Hun Yi Tu map `` Da Ming Hunyi Tu '' world map ( after 1389 ) ( edit ) Main article : Da Ming Hunyi Tu Further information : Chinese geography The Da Ming Hunyi Tu ( Chinese : 大明 混 一 图 ; literally : `` Amalgamated Map of the Great Ming Empire '' ) world map , likely made in the late 14th or the 15th century , shows China at the centre and Europe , half - way round the globe , depicted very small and horizontally compressed at the edge . The coast of Africa is also mapped from an Indian Ocean perspective , showing the Cape of Good Hope area . It is believed that maps of this type were made since about the 1320s , but all earlier specimens have been lost , so the earliest survivor is the elaborate , colourful Da Ming Hun Yi Tu , painted on 17 m ( 180 sq ft ) of silk . Kangnido world map ( 1402 ) Kangnido world map ( 1402 ) ( edit ) Main article : Kangnido The Kangnido ( the full Hanja name means `` Map of Integrated Lands and Regions of Historical Countries and Capitals '' ) is a map of the world made in Korea in 1402 . Created under the supervision of Korean officials as part of a cultural project of the newly founded Joseon Dynasty , it is the most familiar example of the known - world maps based on Chinese cartographic techniques with additional input from western sources , via Islamic scholarship in the Mongol Empire . Superficially similar to the Da Ming Hun Yi Tu ( which has been less well known in the West because it is kept in closed archive storage ) the Kangnido shows its Korean origin in the enlargement of that country , and incorporates vastly improved ( though wrongly positioned , scaled and oriented ) mapping of Japan . Elsewhere , the map betrays a decorative rather than practical purpose , particularly in the portrayal of river systems , which form unnatural loops rarely seen on Chinese maps . Nonetheless , it is considered as `` superior to anything produced in Europe prior to the end of the fifteenth century '' . De Virga world map ( 1411 -- 1415 ) De Virga world map ( 1411 -- 1415 ) ( edit ) Main article : De Virga world map The De Virga world map was made by Albertinus de Virga between 1411 and 1415 . Albertin de Virga , a Venetian , is also known for a 1409 map of the Mediterranean , also made in Venice . The world map is circular , drawn on a piece of parchment 69.6 cm × 44 cm ( 27.4 in × 17.3 in ) . It consists of the map itself , about 44 cm ( 17 in ) in diameter , and an extension containing a calendar and two tables . Bianco world map ( 1436 ) Bianco 's world map ( 1436 ) ( edit ) Main article : Bianco world map Andrea Bianco 's atlas of 1436 comprises ten leaves of vellum , measuring 29 cm × 38 cm ( 11 in × 15 in ) , in an 18th - century binding . The first leaf contains a description of the Rule of marteloio for resolving the course , with the `` circle and square '' , two tables and two other diagrams . The next eight leaves contain various navigation charts . The ninth leaf contains a circular world map measuring 25 cm ( 9.8 in ) in circumference . And the final leaf contains the Ptolemaic world map on Ptolemy 's first projection , with graduation . Some believe Bianco 's maps were the first to correctly portray the coast of Florida , as a macro-peninsula is attached to a large island labeled Antillia . Bianco also collaborated with Fra Mauro on the Fra Mauro world map of 1459 . Genoese map of 1457 , Biblioteca Nazionale at Florence Genoese map ( 1457 ) ( edit ) Main article : Genoese map The Genoese map of 1457 is a world map that relied extensively on the account of the traveler to Asia Niccolo da Conti , rather than the usual source of Marco Polo . The author is unknown , but is a more modern development than the Fra Mauro world map , less intricate and complete , with fairly good proportions given to each of the continents . The map depicts the main landmarks of the time : Prester John in Africa , the Great Khan in China , `` Xilam '' ( Ceylom ) and Sumatra , and the design of a three - masted European ship in the Indian Ocean , something which had not occurred , suggesting that a sealane was a possibility . Fra Mauro map ( 1459 ) Fra Mauro world map ( 1459 ) ( edit ) Main article : Fra Mauro map The Fra Mauro map was made between 1457 and 1459 by the Venetian monk Fra Mauro . It is a circular planisphere drawn on parchment and set in a wooden frame , about 2 metres ( 6 ft 7 in ) in diameter . The original world map was made by Fra Mauro and his assistant Andrea Bianco , a sailor - cartographer , under a commission by king Afonso V of Portugal . The map was completed on April 24 , 1459 , and sent to Portugal , but did not survive to the present day . Fra Mauro died the next year while he was making a copy of the map for the Seignory of Venice , and the copy was completed by Andrea Bianco . The map is preserved in the Museo Correr in Venice . Martellus world map ( 1490 ) Martellus world map ( 1490 ) ( edit ) The world map of Henricus Martellus Germanus ( Heinrich Hammer ) , c. 1490 , was remarkably similar to the terrestrial globe later produced by Martin Behaim in 1492 , the Erdapfel . Both show heavy influences from Ptolemy , and both possibly derive from maps created around 1485 in Lisbon by Bartolomeo Columbus . Although Martellus is believed to have been born in Nuremberg , Behaim 's home town , he lived and worked in Florence from 1480 to 1496 . Behaim 's Erdapfel Behaim 's Erdapfel globe ( 1492 ) ( edit ) Main article : Erdapfel The Erdapfel ( German : earth apple ) produced by Martin Behaim in 1492 is considered to be the oldest surviving terrestrial globe . It is constructed of a laminated linen ball reinforced with wood and overlaid with a map painted by Georg Glockendon . The Americas are not included yet , as Columbus returned to Spain no sooner than March 1493 . It shows a rather enlarged Eurasian continent and an empty ocean between Europe and Asia . Interestingly , the Caribbean islands may already be represented as well , even before Colombus 's return , under the name of the mythical Saint Brendan 's Island . Japan and Asian islands are disproportionately large . The idea to call the globe `` apple '' may be related to the Reichsapfel ( `` Imperial Apple '' , Globus cruciger ) which was also kept in Nuremberg along with the Imperial Regalia ( Reichskleinodien ) . In 1907 , it was transferred to the Germanic Museum in Nuremberg . After 1492 ( edit ) Further information : Age of Discovery Juan de la Cosa map ( 1500 ) ( edit ) Map of Juan de la Cosa , shown rotated right ( in the original manuscript north points left ) , 1500 Main article : Map of Juan de la Cosa The Juan de la Cosa , a Spanish cartographer , explorer and conquistador , born in Santoña in the northern autonomous region of Cantabria , made several maps of which the only survivor is the Mappa Mundi of 1500 . It is the first known European cartographic representation of the Americas . It is now in the Museo Naval in Madrid . Reproductions of it are given by Humboldt in his Atlas géographique et physique . Cantino world map ( 1502 ) ( edit ) Cantino planisphere , 1502 , Biblioteca Estense , Modena Main article : Cantino planisphere The Cantino planisphere or Cantino world map is the earliest surviving map showing Portuguese discoveries in the east and west . It is named after Alberto Cantino , an agent for the Duke of Ferrara , who successfully smuggled it from Portugal to Italy in 1502 . It shows the islands of the Caribbean and the Florida coastline , as well as Africa , Europe and Asia . The map is particularly notable for portraying a fragmentary record of the Brazilian coast , discovered in 1500 by Portuguese explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral who conjectured whether it was merely an island or part of the continent that several Spanish expeditions had just encountered farther north ( cf . Amerigo Vespucci ) . Caverio map ( c. 1505 ) ( edit ) Caverio Map ( c. 1505 ) , Bibliothèque Nationale de France , Paris Main article : Caverio map The Caverio Map , also known as the Caveri Map or Canerio Map , is a map drawn by Nicolay de Caveri , circa 1505 . It is hand drawn on parchment and coloured , being composed of ten sections or panels , measuring 2.25 by 1.15 metres ( 7.4 by 3.8 ft ) . Historians believe that this undated map signed with `` Nicolay de Caveri Januensis '' was completed in 1504 -- 05 . It was probably either made in Lisbon by the Genoese Canveri , or copied by him in Genoa from the very similar Cantino map . It shows the east coast of North America with surprising detail and was one of the primary sources used to make the Waldseemüller map in 1507 . The Caverio map is currently at Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris . Ruysch world map ( 1507 ) ( edit ) Ruysch 's 1507 map of the world Johannes Ruysch an explorer , cartographer , astronomer and painter from the Low Countries produced the second oldest known printed representation of the New World . The Ruysch map was published and widely distributed in 1507 . It uses Ptolemy 's coniform projection , as does the Contarini - Rosselli 1506 map . Both document Christopher Columbus ' discoveries as well as that of John Cabot , including information from Portuguese sources and Marco Polo 's account . There are notes on his map that clearly were from Portuguese sources . Newfoundland and Cuba are shown connected to Asia , as Columbus and Cabot believed . `` Sipganus '' ( Marco Polo 's Japan ) is identical with `` Spagnola '' ( Hispaniola ) on the Ruysch map . The presence of codfish is noted on the Ruysch map in the area of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland and shows the discoveries the Portuguese had made along the African coast and shows India as a triangular peninsula with Ceylon in the correct proportion and position . Greenland is shown connected to Newfoundland and Asia on Ruysch 's map , and not Europe as earlier maps had showed . Around the north pole , Ruysch drew islands , based on reports in the book Inventio Fortunata of the English friar Nicholas of Lynne . Interestingly , the island above Norway shows remarkable similarities to Svalbard , which would not be discovered until 1597 ( by Willem Barents ) . Ruysch calls it ' European Hyberborea ' and a peninsula stretching out towards it is clearly marked with the church of ' Sancti Odulfi ' , St Olaf 's church in Vardø on the Finnmark coast . Waldseemüller and Ringmann map ( 1507 ) ( edit ) Waldseemüller map with joint sheets , 1507 Main article : Waldseemüller map The cartographers Martin Waldseemüller and Matthias Ringmann from southern Germany , supported by the mapping friend René II , Duke of Lorraine , collected map data over several years , including information on the most recent discoveries , to build up a new collective work of geography and cartography . Along with a book they further incorporated , for the first time in history , the name America on a map , holding the strong opinion that it was a new continent that Amerigo Vespucci had discovered on his voyage and not only a few smaller islands as Christopher Columbus did in the West Indies . Piri Reis map ( 1513 ) ( edit ) Fragment of the Piri Reis map by Piri Reis in 1513 Main article : Piri Reis map The Piri Reis map is a famous world map created by 16th - century Ottoman Turkish admiral and cartographer Piri Reis . The surviving third of the map shows part of the western coasts of Europe and North Africa with reasonable accuracy , and the coast of Brazil is also easily recognizable . Various Atlantic islands including the Azores and Canary Islands are depicted , as is the mythical island of Antillia . The map is noteworthy for its apparent south - eastward extension of the American continent to depict a southern landmass that some controversially claim is evidence for early awareness of the existence of Antarctica . Alternatively , it has been suggested that this is actually a record of the coast as far as Cape Horn , explored secretly by Portuguese navigators before 1507 ( when it appeared on the Waldseemüller map ) and bent south - eastward simply to fit on the parchment . Pietro Coppo map ( 1520 ) ( edit ) Map of Pietro Coppo , Venice , 1520 The map by Pietro Coppo was one of the last world maps to feature the `` Dragon 's Tail '' extending southwards from the far eastern extremity of Asia , the last vestige of Ptolemy 's landlocked depiction of the Indian Ocean , nearly 1,500 years earlier . Diogo Ribeiro map ( 1527 ) ( edit ) World Map by Diogo Ribeiro , `` Propaganda map '' ( 1529 ) , Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana Diogo Ribeiro , a Portuguese cartographer working for Spain , made what is considered the first scientific world map : the 1527 Padrón real , the first world map based on empiric latitude observations . There are 6 copies attributed to Ribeiro , including at the Weimar Grand Ducal Library ( 1527 Mundus Novus ) and at the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana , in Vatican City ( 1529 Propaganda Map or Carta Universal ) . The layout of the map ( Mapamundi ) is strongly influenced by the information obtained during the Magellan - Elcano trip around the world . Diogo 's map delineates very precisely the coasts of Central and South America . However , neither Australia nor Antarctica appear , and the Indian subcontinent is too small . The map shows , for the first time , the real extension of the Pacific Ocean . It also shows , for the first time , the North American coast as a continuous one ( probably influenced by the Estêvão Gomes exploration in 1525 ) . It also shows the demarcation of the Treaty of Tordesillas . Mercator world map ( 1569 ) ( edit ) Main articles : Mercator 1569 world map , Mercator Projection , and Gerardus Mercator Mercator Nova et Aucta Orbis Terrae Descriptio , 1569 . High res image . Flemish geographer and cartographer Gerardus Mercator world map of 1569 introduced a cylindrical map projection that became the standard map projection known as the Mercator projection . It was a large planisphere measuring 202 by 124 cm ( 80 by 49 in ) , printed in eighteen separate sheets . While the linear scale is constant in all directions around any point , thus preserving the angles and the shapes of small objects ( which makes the projection conformal ) , the Mercator projection distorts the size and shape of large objects , as the scale increases from the Equator to the poles , where it becomes infinite . The title ( Nova et Aucta Orbis Terrae Descriptio ad Usum Navigatium Emendate : `` new and augmented description of Earth corrected for the use of navigation '' ) and the map legends show that the map was expressly conceived for the use of marine navigation . The principal feature of the projection is that Rhumb lines , sailing courses at a constant bearing , are mapped to straight lines on the map . The development of the Mercator projection represented a major breakthrough in the nautical cartography of the 16th century although it was only slowly adopted by seafaring nations . `` Theatrum Orbis Terrarum '' by Abraham Ortelius ( 1570 ) ( edit ) Ortelius ' map Theatrum Orbis Terrarum ( 1570 ) Main article : Theatrum Orbis Terrarum The Theatrum Orbis Terrarum ( or `` Theatre of the World '' ) is considered to be the first true modern atlas . Written by Abraham Ortelius and originally printed on May 20 , 1570 , in Antwerp , it consisted of a collection of uniform map sheets and sustaining text bound to form a book for which copper printing plates were specifically engraved . The Ortelius atlas is sometimes referred to as the summary of sixteenth - century cartography . Many of his atlas ' maps were based upon sources that no longer exist or are extremely rare . Ortelius appended a unique source list ( the `` Catalogus Auctorum '' ) identifying the names of contemporary cartographers , some of whom would otherwise have remained obscure . Three Latin editions of this ( besides a Dutch , a French and a German edition ) appeared before the end of 1572 ; twenty - five editions came out before Ortelius ' death in 1598 ; and several others were published subsequently , for the atlas continued to be in demand until approximately 1612 . `` Die ganze Welt in einem Kleberblat '' by Heinrich Bünting ( 1581 ) ( edit ) Main article : Bünting Clover Leaf Map Die ganze Welt in einem Kleberblat ( The entire World in a Cloverleaf ) . Jerusalem is in the centre of the map surrounded by the three continents . The Bünting Clover Leaf Map , also known as The World in a Cloverleaf , ( German title : `` Die ganze Welt in einem Kleberblat / Welches ist der Stadt Hannover meines lieben Vaterlandes Wapen '' ) is an historic mappa mundi drawn by the German Protestant pastor , theologist , and cartographer Heinrich Bünting . The map was published in his book Itinerarium Sacrae Scripturae ( Travel through Holy Scripture ) in 1581 . Today the map is found within the Eran Laor maps collection in the National Library of Israel in Jerusalem . A mosaic model of the map is installed on the fence of Safra Square at the site of Jerusalem 's city hall . The map is a figurative illustration , in the manner of the medieval mappa mundi format , depicting the world via a clover shape . The shape is a symbolisation of the Christian Trinity and a component at the symbolisation of the German city Hanover , where Bünting was born . The city of Jerusalem is represented as the centre , surrounded by three central continents , with some more areas of the world being accordingly illustrated separately from the clover . `` Kunyu Wanguo Quantu '' by Matteo Ricci ( 1602 ) ( edit ) Kunyu Wanguo Quantu ( 1602 ) , Japanese copy Main article : Kunyu Wanguo Quantu Kunyu Wanguo Quantu ( Chinese : 坤 輿 萬國 全 圖 ; literally : `` A Map of the Myriad Countries of the World '' ; Italian : Carta Geografica Completa di tutti i Regni del Mondo , `` Complete Geographical Map of all the Kingdoms of the World '' ) , printed by Italian Jesuit missionary Matteo Ricci at the request by Wanli Emperor in 1602 , is the first known European - styled Chinese world map ( and the first Chinese map to show the Americas ) . The map is in Classical Chinese , with detailed annotations and descriptions of various regions of the world , a brief account of the discovery of the Americas , polar projections , scientific explanation of parallels and meridians , and proof that the sun is bigger than the moon . Following Chinese cartographical convention , Ricci placed China ( `` the Middle Kingdom '' ) at the centre of the world . This map is a significant mark of the expansion Chinese knowledge of the world , and an important example of cultural syncretism directly between Europe and China . It was also exported to Korea and Japan as well . Hendrik Hondius map ( 1630 ) ( edit ) Hendrik Hondius , Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Geographica ac Hydrographica Tabula , 1630 Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Geographica ac Hydrographica Tabula is a map of the world created by Hendrik Hondius in 1630 , and published the following year at Amsterdam , in the atlas Atlantis Maioris Appendix . Illustrations of the four elements of fire , air , water , and land are included . In the four corners , there are portraits of Julius Caesar , Claudius Ptolemy , and the atlas 's first two publishers , Gerard Mercator and Jodocus Hondius , the father of Hendrik . Among its claims to notability is the fact that it was the first dated map published in an atlas , and therefore the first widely available map , to show any part of Australia , the only previous map to do so being Hessel Gerritsz ' 1627 Caert va n't Landt van d'Eendracht ( `` Chart of the Land of Eendracht '' ) , which was not widely distributed or recognised . The Australian coastline shown is part of the west coast of Cape York Peninsula , discovered by Jan Carstensz in 1623 . Curiously , the map does not show the west coast features shown in Gerritsz ' Caert . Nicolaes Visscher map ( 1658 ) ( edit ) Nicolaes Visscher , Orbis Terrarum Nova et Accuratissima Tabula , 1658 This engraved double hemisphere map , Orbis Terrarum Nova et Accuratissima Tabula , was created by Nicolaes Visscher in 1658 in Amsterdam . It also contains smaller northern and southern polar projections . The border is decorated with mythological scenes , one in each corner , drawn by the painter Nicolaes Berchem , showing Zeus , Neptune , Persephone and Demeter . It is an early example of highly decorated Dutch world maps . Gerard van Schagen 's map of the world ( 1689 ) ( edit ) Main article : Gerard van Schagen Van Schagen 's map of the world , 1689 Gerard van Schagen ( ca . 1642 -- 1724 ? ) was a cartographer from Amsterdam , known for his exquisite reproductions of maps , particularly of those by Nicolaes Visscher I and Frederick de Wit . The map is of 1689 . The original size is 48.3 cm × 56.0 cm ( 19.0 in × 22.0 in ) and was produced using copper engraving . There is only one known example , which is in the Amsterdam University . Samuel Dunn 's map of the world ( 1794 ) ( edit ) World map by Samuel Dunn , 1794 Samuel Dunn ( died 1794 ) was a British mathematician and amateur astronomer . His map covers the entire world in a double hemisphere projection . This map follows shortly after the explorations of Captain Cook in the Arctic and Pacific Northwest , so the general outline of North America is known . However , when this map was made , few inland expeditions had extended westward beyond the Mississippi River .

Zimbabwe ( / zɪmˈbɑːbweɪ / ) , officially the Republic of Zimbabwe , is a landlocked country located in southern Africa , between the Zambezi and Limpopo Rivers , bordered by South Africa , Botswana , Zambia and Mozambique . The capital and largest city is Harare . A country of roughly 16 million people , Zimbabwe has 16 official languages , with English , Shona , and Ndebele the most commonly used . Since the 11th century , present - day Zimbabwe has been the site of several organised states and kingdoms as well as a major route for migration and trade . The British South Africa Company of Cecil Rhodes first demarcated the present territory during the 1890s ; it became the self - governing British colony of Southern Rhodesia in 1923 . In 1965 , the conservative white minority government unilaterally declared independence as Rhodesia . The state endured international isolation and a 15 - year guerrilla war with black nationalist forces ; this culminated in a peace agreement that established universal enfranchisement and de jure sovereignty as Zimbabwe in April 1980 . Zimbabwe then joined the Commonwealth of Nations , which it withdrew from in December 2003 . It is a member of the United Nations , the Southern African Development Community ( SADC ) , the African Union ( AU ) , and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa ( COMESA ) . It was once known as the `` Jewel of Africa '' for its prosperity . Robert Mugabe became Prime Minister of Zimbabwe in 1980 , when his ZANU - PF party won the elections following the end of white minority rule ; he was the President of Zimbabwe from 1987 until his resignation in 2017 . Under Mugabe 's authoritarian regime , the state security apparatus dominated the country and was responsible for widespread human rights violations . Mugabe maintained the revolutionary socialist rhetoric of the Cold War era , blaming Zimbabwe 's economic woes on conspiring Western capitalist countries . Contemporary African political leaders were reluctant to criticise Mugabe , who was burnished by his anti-imperialist credentials , though Archbishop Desmond Tutu called him `` a cartoon figure of an archetypal African dictator '' . The country has been in economic decline since the 1990s , experiencing several crashes and hyperinflation along the way . On 15 November 2017 , in the wake of over a year of protests against his government as well as Zimbabwe 's rapidly declining economy , Mugabe was placed under house arrest by the country 's national army in a coup d'état . On 19 November 2017 , ZANU - PF sacked Robert Mugabe as party leader and appointed former Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa in his place . On 21 November 2017 , Mugabe tendered his resignation prior to impeachment proceedings being completed .

Two different theories address the origin of the word . Many sources hold that `` Zimbabwe '' derives from dzimba - dza - mabwe , translated from the Karanga dialect of Shona as `` large houses of stone '' ( dzimba = plural of imba , `` house '' ; mabwe = plural of bwe , `` stone '' ) . The Karanga - speaking Shona people live around Great Zimbabwe in the modern - day province of Masvingo . Archaeologist Peter Garlake claims that `` Zimbabwe '' represents a contracted form of dzimba - hwe , which means `` venerated houses '' in the Zezuru dialect of Shona and usually references chiefs ' houses or graves . Zimbabwe was formerly known as Southern Rhodesia ( 1898 ) , Rhodesia ( 1965 ) , and Zimbabwe Rhodesia ( 1979 ) . The first recorded use of `` Zimbabwe '' as a term of national reference dates from 1960 as a coinage by the black nationalist Michael Mawema , whose Zimbabwe National Party became the first to officially use the name in 1961 . The term `` Rhodesia '' -- derived from the surname of Cecil Rhodes , the primary instigator of British colonisation of the territory during the late 19th century -- was perceived by African nationalists as inappropriate because of its colonial origin and connotations . According to Mawema , black nationalists held a meeting in 1960 to choose an alternative name for the country , proposing names such as `` Matshobana '' and `` Monomotapa '' before his suggestion , `` Zimbabwe '' , prevailed . A further alternative , put forward by nationalists in Matabeleland , had been `` Matopos '' , referring to the Matopos Hills to the south of Bulawayo . It was initially unclear how the chosen term was to be used -- a letter written by Mawema in 1961 refers to `` Zimbabweland '' -- but `` Zimbabwe '' was sufficiently established by 1962 to become the generally preferred term of the black nationalist movement . In a 2001 interview , black nationalist Edson Zvobgo recalled that Mawema mentioned the name during a political rally , `` and it caught hold , and that was that '' . The black nationalist factions subsequently used the name during the Second Chimurenga campaigns against the Rhodesian government during the Rhodesian Bush War of 1964 -- 1979 . Major factions in this camp included the Zimbabwe African National Union ( led by Robert Mugabe from 1975 ) , and the Zimbabwe African People 's Union ( led by Joshua Nkomo from its founding in the early 1960s ) . History ( edit ) Main article : History of Zimbabwe Precolonial era ( 1000 -- 1887 ) ( edit ) Further information : Bantu expansion Towers of Great Zimbabwe Proto - Shona - speaking societies first emerged in the middle Limpopo valley in the 9th century before moving on to the Zimbabwean highlands . The Zimbabwean plateau eventually became the centre of subsequent Shona states , beginning around the 10th century . Around the early 10th century , trade developed with Arab merchants on the Indian Ocean coast , helping to develop the Kingdom of Mapungubwe in the 11th century . This was the precursor to the more impressive Shona civilisations that would dominate the region during the 13th to 15th centuries , evidenced by ruins at Great Zimbabwe , near Masvingo , and other smaller sites . The main archaeological site uses a unique dry stone architecture . The Kingdom of Mapungubwe was the first in a series of sophisticated trade states developed in Zimbabwe by the time of the first European explorers from Portugal . They traded in gold , ivory , and copper for cloth and glass . From about 1300 until 1600 , Mapungubwe was eclipsed by the Kingdom of Zimbabwe . This Shona state further refined and expanded upon Mapungubwe 's stone architecture , which survives to this day at the ruins of the kingdom 's capital of Great Zimbabwe . From c. 1450 -- 1760 , Zimbabwe gave way to the Kingdom of Mutapa . This Shona state ruled much of the area that is known as Zimbabwe today , and parts of central Mozambique . It is known by many names including the Mutapa Empire , also known as Mwene Mutapa or Monomotapa as well as `` Munhumutapa , '' and was renowned for its strategic trade routes with the Arabs and Portugal . The Portuguese sought to monopolise this influence and began a series of wars which left the empire in near collapse in the early 17th century . As a direct response to increased European presence in the interior , and especially due to the increasing amount of Carnegie family farmers , a new Shona state emerged , known as the Rozwi Empire . Relying on centuries of military , political and religious development , the Rozwi ( meaning `` destroyers '' ) expelled the Portuguese from the Zimbabwean plateau by force of arms . They continued the stone building traditions of the Zimbabwe and Mapungubwe kingdoms while adding muskets to their arsenal and recruiting a professional army to defend recent conquests . Around 1821 , the Zulu general Mzilikazi of the Khumalo clan successfully rebelled against King Shaka and created his own clan , the Ndebele . The Ndebele fought their way northwards into the Transvaal , leaving a trail of destruction in their wake and beginning an era of widespread devastation known as the Mfecane . When Dutch trekboers converged on the Transvaal in 1836 , they drove the tribe even further northward . By 1838 , the Rozwi Empire , along with the other smaller Shona states were conquered by the Ndebele and reduced to vassaldom . After losing their remaining South African lands in 1840 , Mzilikazi and his tribe permanently settled in the southwest of present - day Zimbabwe in what became known as Matabeleland , establishing Bulawayo as their capital . Mzilikazi then organised his society into a military system with regimental kraals , similar to those of Shaka , which was stable enough to repel further Boer incursions . Mzilikazi died in 1868 and , following a violent power struggle , was succeeded by his son , Lobengula .

( May 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Matabeleland in the 19th century . In the 1880s , white colonists arrived with Cecil Rhodes 's British South Africa Company ( BSAC ) . In 1888 , Rhodes obtained a concession for mining rights from King Lobengula of the Ndebele peoples . He presented this concession to persuade the government of the United Kingdom to grant a royal charter to the company over Matabeleland , and its subject states such as Mashonaland as well . Rhodes used this document in 1890 to justify sending the Pioneer Column , a group of Europeans protected by well - armed British South Africa Police ( BSAP ) through Matabeleland and into Shona territory to establish Fort Salisbury ( now Harare ) , and thereby establish company rule over the area . In 1893 and 1894 , with the help of their new Maxim guns , the BSAP would go on to defeat the Ndebele in the First Matabele War . Rhodes additionally sought permission to negotiate similar concessions covering all territory between the Limpopo River and Lake Tanganyika , then known as `` Zambesia '' . In accordance with the terms of aforementioned concessions and treaties , mass settlement was encouraged , with the British maintaining control over labour as well as precious metals and other mineral resources . In 1895 , the BSAC adopted the name `` Rhodesia '' for the territory , in honour of Rhodes . In 1898 `` Southern Rhodesia '' became the official name for the region south of the Zambezi , which later became Zimbabwe . The region to the north was administered separately and later termed Northern Rhodesia ( now Zambia ) . Shortly after Rhodes ' disastrous Jameson Raid on the South African Republic , the Ndebele rebelled against white rule , led by their charismatic religious leader , Mlimo . The Second Matabele War lasted in Matabeleland until 1896 , when Mlimo was assassinated . Shona agitators staged unsuccessful revolts ( known as Chimurenga ) against company rule during 1896 and 1897 . Following these failed insurrections , the Ndebele and Shona groups were finally subdued by the Rhodes administration , which organised the land with a disproportionate bias favouring Europeans , thus displacing many indigenous peoples . The opening of the railway to Umtali in 1899 . Southern Rhodesia was annexed by the United Kingdom on 12 September 1923 . Shortly after annexation , on 1 October 1923 , the first constitution for the new Colony of Southern Rhodesia came into force . Under the new constitution , Southern Rhodesia became a self - governing British colony , subsequent to a 1922 referendum . Rhodesians of all races served on behalf of the United Kingdom during the two World Wars . Proportional to the white population , Southern Rhodesia contributed more per capita to both the First and Second World Wars than any other part of the Empire , including Britain itself . In 1953 , in the face of African opposition , Britain consolidated the two Rhodesias with Nyasaland ( Malawi ) in the ill - fated Central African Federation , which was essentially dominated by Southern Rhodesia . Growing African nationalism and general dissent , particularly in Nyasaland , persuaded Britain to dissolve the Union in 1963 , forming three separate divisions . While multiracial democracy was finally introduced to Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland , however , Southern Rhodesians of European ancestry continued to enjoy minority rule . With Zambian independence , Ian Smith 's Rhodesian Front ( RF ) dropped the designation `` Southern '' in 1964 and issued a Unilateral Declaration of Independence ( commonly abbreviated to `` UDI '' ) from the United Kingdom on 11 November 1965 , intent on effectively repudiating the recently adopted British policy of `` no independence before majority rule '' . It was the first such course taken by a British colony since the American declaration of 1776 , which Smith and others indeed claimed provided a suitable precedent to their own actions .

( May 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Ian Smith signing the Unilateral Declaration of Independence on 11 November 1965 with his cabinet in audience . After the Unilateral Declaration of Independence ( UDI ) , the British government petitioned the United Nations for sanctions against Rhodesia pending unsuccessful talks with Smith 's administration in 1966 and 1968 . In December 1966 , the organisation complied , imposing the first mandatory trade embargo on an autonomous state . These sanctions were expanded again in 1968 . The United Kingdom deemed the Rhodesian declaration an act of rebellion , but did not re-establish control by force . A guerrilla war subsequently ensued when Joshua Nkomo 's Zimbabwe African People 's Union ( ZAPU ) and Robert Mugabe 's Zimbabwe African National Union ( ZANU ) , supported actively by communist powers and neighbouring African nations , initiated guerilla operations against Rhodesia 's predominantly white government . ZAPU was supported by the Soviet Union , the Warsaw Pact and associated nations such as Cuba , and adopted a Marxist -- Leninist ideology ; ZANU meanwhile aligned itself with Maoism and the bloc headed by the People 's Republic of China . Smith declared Rhodesia a republic in 1970 , following the results of a referendum the previous year , but this went unrecognised internationally . Meanwhile , Rhodesia 's internal conflict intensified , eventually forcing him to open negotiations with the militant nationalists . Bishop Abel Muzorewa signs the Lancaster House Agreement seated next to British Foreign Secretary Lord Carrington . In March 1978 , Smith reached an accord with three African leaders , led by Bishop Abel Muzorewa , who offered to leave the white population comfortably entrenched in exchange for the establishment of a biracial democracy . As a result of the Internal Settlement , elections were held in April 1979 , concluding with the United African National Council ( UANC ) carrying a majority of parliamentary seats . On 1 June 1979 , Muzorewa , the UANC head , became prime minister and the country 's name was changed to Zimbabwe Rhodesia . The Internal Settlement left control of the Rhodesian Security Forces , civil service , judiciary , and a third of parliament seats to whites . On 12 June , the United States Senate voted to lift economic pressure on the former Rhodesia . Following the fifth Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting ( CHOGM ) , held in Lusaka , Zambia from 1 to 7 August in 1979 , the British government invited Muzorewa , Mugabe , and Nkomo to participate in a constitutional conference at Lancaster House . The purpose of the conference was to discuss and reach an agreement on the terms of an independence constitution , and provide for elections supervised under British authority allowing Zimbabwe Rhodesia to proceed to legal independence . With Lord Carrington , Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs of the United Kingdom , in the chair , these discussions were mounted from 10 September to 15 December in 1979 , producing a total of 47 plenary sessions . On 21 December 1979 , delegations from every major interest represented reached the Lancaster House Agreement , effectively ending the guerrilla war . On 11 December 1979 , the Rhodesian House of Assembly voted 90 to nil to revert to British colonial status ( the ' aye ' votes included Ian Smith himself ) . The bill then passed the Senate and was assented to by the President . With the arrival of Lord Soames , the new Governor , just after 2 p.m. on 12 December 1979 , Britain formally took control of Zimbabwe Rhodesia as the Colony of Southern Rhodesia , although on 13 December Soames declared that during his mandate the name Rhodesia and Zimbabwe Rhodesia would continue to be used . Britain lifted sanctions on 12 December , and the United Nations on 16 December , before calling on its member states to do likewise on 21 December . Thus Zambia , Mozambique , Tanzania , Angola and Botswana lifted sanctions on 22 -- 23 December ; Australia partly pre-empted this , lifting all but trade sanctions on 18 December , and trade sanctions on 21 December . During the elections of February 1980 , Robert Mugabe and the ZANU party secured a landslide victory . Prince Charles , as the representative of Britain , formally granted independence to the new nation of Zimbabwe at a ceremony in Harare in April 1980 . Independence era ( 1980 -- present ) ( edit ) Trends in Zimbabwe 's Multidimensional Poverty Index , 1970 -- 2010 . Zimbabwe 's first president after its independence was Canaan Banana in what was originally a mainly ceremonial role as Head of State . Robert Mugabe , leader of the ZANU party , was the country 's first Prime Minister and Head of Government . Opposition to what was perceived as a Shona takeover immediately erupted around Matabeleland . The Matabele unrest led to what has become known as Gukurahundi ( Shona : `` the early rain which washes away the chaff before the spring rains '' ) . The Fifth Brigade , a North Korean - trained elite unit that reported directly to the Zimbabwean Prime Minister , entered Matabeleland and massacred thousands of civilians accused of supporting `` dissidents '' . Estimates for the number of deaths during the five - year Gukurahundi campaign ranged from 3,750 to 80,000 . Thousands of others were tortured in military internment camps . The campaign officially ended in 1987 after Nkomo and Mugabe reached a unity agreement that merged their respective parties , creating the Zimbabwe African National Union -- Patriotic Front ( ZANU -- PF ) . Elections in March 1990 resulted in another victory for Mugabe and the ZANU - PF party , which claimed 117 of the 120 contested seats . During the 1990s , students , trade unionists , and other workers often demonstrated to express their growing discontent with Mugabe and ZANU - PF party policies . In 1996 , civil servants , nurses , and junior doctors went on strike over salary issues . The general health of the population also began to significantly decline ; by 1997 an estimated 25 % of the population had been infected by HIV in a pandemic that was affecting most of southern Africa . Land redistribution re-emerged as the main issue for the ZANU - PF government around 1997 . Despite the existence of a `` willing - buyer - willing - seller '' land reform programme since the 1980s , the minority white Zimbabwean population of around 0.6 % continued to hold 70 % of the country 's most fertile agricultural land . In 2000 , the government pressed ahead with its Fast Track Land Reform programme , a policy involving compulsory land acquisition aimed at redistributing land from the minority white population to the majority black population . Confiscations of white farmland , continuous droughts , and a serious drop in external finance and other supports led to a sharp decline in agricultural exports , which were traditionally the country 's leading export - producing sector . Some 58,000 independent black farmers have since experienced limited success in reviving the gutted cash crop sectors through efforts on a smaller scale . Map showing the food insecurity in Zimbabwe in June 2008 President Mugabe and the ZANU - PF party leadership found themselves beset by a wide range of international sanctions . In 2002 , the nation was suspended from the Commonwealth of Nations due to the reckless farm seizures and blatant election tampering . The following year , Zimbabwean officials voluntarily terminated its Commonwealth membership . The Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act of 2001 ( ZDERA ) went into effect in 2002 , creating a credit freeze of the Zimbabwean government through Section 4 C , Multilateral Financing Restriction . The bill was sponsored by Bill Frist , and co-sponsored by senators Hillary Clinton , Joe Biden , Russ Feingold and Jesse Helms . Through ZDERA Section 4C , the Secretary of the Treasury is ordered to direct US Directors at the International Financial Institutions listed in Section 3 , `` to oppose and vote against -- ( 1 ) any extension by the respective institution of any loan , credit , or guarantee to the Government of Zimbabwe ; or ( 2 ) any cancellation or reduction of indebtedness owed by the Government of Zimbabwe to the United States or any international financial institution . '' Following elections in 2005 , the government initiated `` Operation Murambatsvina '' , an effort to crack down on illegal markets and slums emerging in towns and cities , leaving a substantial section of urban poor homeless . The Zimbabwean government has described the operation as an attempt to provide decent housing to the population , although according to critics such as Amnesty International , authorities have yet to properly substantiate their claims . On 29 March 2008 , Zimbabwe held a presidential election along with a parliamentary election . The results of this election were withheld for two weeks , after which it was generally acknowledged that the Movement for Democratic Change -- Tsvangirai ( MDC - T ) had achieved a majority of one seat in the lower house of parliament . In a surprising moment of candour at the ZANU - PF congress in December 2014 , President Robert Mugabe accidentally let slip that the opposition had in fact won the contentious 2008 polls by an astounding 73 % . In late 2008 , problems in Zimbabwe reached crisis proportions in the areas of living standards , public health ( with a major cholera outbreak in December ) and various basic affairs . In September 2008 , a power - sharing agreement was reached between Tsvangirai and President Mugabe , permitting the former to hold the office of prime minister . Due to ministerial differences between their respective political parties , the agreement was not fully implemented until 13 February 2009 . By December 2010 , Mugabe was threatening to completely expropriate remaining privately owned companies in Zimbabwe unless `` western sanctions '' were lifted . A 2011 survey by Freedom House suggested that living conditions had improved since the power - sharing agreement . The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs stated in its 2012 -- 2013 planning document that the `` humanitarian situation has improved in Zimbabwe since 2009 , but conditions remain precarious for many people '' . On 17 January 2013 , Vice President John Nkomo died of cancer at St Anne 's Hospital , Harare at the age of 78 . A new constitution approved in the Zimbabwean constitutional referendum , 2013 curtails presidential powers . Mugabe was re-elected president in the July 2013 Zimbabwean general election which The Economist described as `` rigged . '' and the Daily Telegraph as `` stolen . '' The Movement for Democratic Change alleged massive fraud and tried to seek relief through the courts . After winning the election , the Mugabe ZANU - PF government re-instituted one party rule , doubled the civil service and , according to The Economist , embarked on `` ... misrule and dazzling corruption . '' A 2017 study conducted by the Institute for Security Studies ( ISS ) concluded that due to the deterioration of government and the economy `` the government encourages corruption to make up for its inability to fund its own institutions '' with widespread and informal police roadblocks to issue fines to travellers being one manifestation of this . In July 2016 nationwide protests took place regarding the economic collapse in the country , and the finance minister admitted `` Right now we literally have nothing . '' In November 2017 , the army led a coup d'état following the dismissal of Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa , placing Mugabe under house arrest . The army denied that their actions constituted a coup . Mugabe resigned on 21 November 2017 , after leading the country for 37 years . Although under the Constitution of Zimbabwe Mugabe should be succeeded by Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko , a supporter of Grace Mugabe , ZANU - PF chief whip Lovemore Matuke stated to the Reuters news agency that Mnangagwa would be appointed as president . In December 2017 the New Zimbabwean , calculating the cost of the Mugabe era using various statistics , said that at the time of independence in 1980 , the country was growing economically at about 5 per cent a year , and had done so for quite a long time . If this rate of growth had been maintained for the next 37 years , Zimbabwe today would have a GDP of US $52 billion . Instead it has a formal sector GDP of only US $14 billion ( 2016 ) , a cost of US $38 billion in lost growth in the formal sector . The population growth in 1980 was among the highest in Africa at about 3 , 5 per cent per annum , doubling every 21 years . Had this growth been maintained , the population today would be 31 million . Instead it is about 16 million . The discrepancies were believed to be partly caused by death from starvation and disease , and partly due to decreased fertility . The life expectancy has halved , and death from politically motivated violence sponsored by government exceeds 200,000 since 1980 . The Mugabe government has directly or indirectly caused the deaths of at least 3 million Zimbabweans in 37 years . Geography and environment ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources .

Zimbabwe map of Köppen climate classification . Zimbabwe is a landlocked country in southern Africa , lying between latitudes 15 ° and 23 ° S , and longitudes 25 ° and 34 ° E. It is bordered by South Africa to the south , Botswana to the west and southwest , Zambia to the northwest , and Mozambique to the east and northeast . Its northwest corner is roughly 150 meters from Namibia , nearly forming a four - nation quadripoint . Most of the country is elevated , consisting of a central plateau ( high veld ) stretching from the southwest northwards with altitudes between 1,000 and 1,600 m . The country 's extreme east is mountainous , this area being known as the Eastern Highlands , with Mount Nyangani as the highest point at 2,592 m . These highlands are renowned for their great natural beauty , with famous tourist destinations such as Nyanga , Troutbeck , Chimanimani , Vumba and Chirinda Forest at Mount Selinda . About 20 % of the country consists of low - lying areas , ( the low veld ) under 900m . Victoria Falls , one of the world 's biggest and most spectacular waterfalls , is located in the country 's extreme northwest and is part of the Zambezi river . Climate ( edit ) Zimbabwe has a tropical climate with many local variations . The southern areas are known for their heat and aridity , parts of the central plateau receive frost in winter , the Zambezi valley is also known for its extreme heat and the Eastern Highlands usually experience cool temperatures and the highest rainfall in the country . The country 's rainy season generally runs from late October to March and the hot climate is moderated by increasing altitude . Zimbabwe is faced with recurring droughts , the latest one commencing early in 2015 and ongoing into 2016 . Severe storms are rare . Flora and fauna ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources .

Trees found in these Eastern Highlands include teak , mahogany , enormous specimens of strangling fig , forest newtonia , big leaf , white stinkwood , chirinda stinkwood , knobthorn and many others . In the low - lying parts of the country fever trees , mopane , combretum and baobabs abound . Much of the country is covered by miombo woodland , dominated by brachystegia species and others . Among the numerous flowers and shrubs are hibiscus , flame lily , snake lily , spider lily , leonotus , cassia , tree wisteria and dombeya . There are around 350 species of mammals that can be found in Zimbabwe . There are also many snakes and lizards , over 500 bird species , and 131 fish species . Environmental issues ( edit ) Large parts of Zimbabwe were once covered by forests with abundant wildlife . Deforestation and poaching has reduced the amount of wildlife . Wood land degradation and deforestation , due to population growth , urban expansion and lack of fuel , are major concerns and have led to erosion and land degradation which diminish the amount of fertile soil . Local farmers have also been criticised by environmentalists for burning off vegetation to heat their tobacco barns .

The semi-presidential system was abolished with the adoption of a new constitution after a referendum in March 2013 . Under the constitutional changes in 2005 , an upper chamber , the Senate , was reinstated . The House of Assembly is the lower chamber of Parliament . President Robert Mugabe 's Zimbabwe African National Union -- Patriotic Front ( commonly abbreviated ZANU - PF ) has been the dominant political party in Zimbabwe since independence . In 1987 then - prime minister Mugabe revised the constitution , abolishing the ceremonial presidency and the prime ministerial posts to form an executive president , a Presidential system . His ZANU party has won every election since independence , in the 1990 election the second - placed party , Edgar Tekere 's Zimbabwe Unity Movement , won only 20 % of the vote . During the 1995 parliamentary elections most opposition parties , including the ZUM , boycotted the voting , resulting in a near - sweep by the ruling party . When the opposition returned to the polls in 2000 , they won 57 seats , only five fewer than ZANU . Presidential elections were again held in 2002 amid allegations of vote - rigging , intimidation and fraud . The 2005 Zimbabwe parliamentary elections were held on 31 March and multiple claims of vote rigging , election fraud and intimidation were made by the MDC and Jonathan Moyo , calling for investigations into 32 of the 120 constituencies . Jonathan Moyo participated in the elections despite the allegations and won a seat as an independent member of Parliament . General elections were again held in Zimbabwe on 30 March 2008 . The official results required a runoff between Mugabe and Morgan Tsvangirai , the opposition leader ; the MDC challenged these results , claiming widespread election fraud by the Mugabe government . The run - off was scheduled for 27 June 2008 . On 22 June , citing the continuing unfairness of the process and refusing to participate in a `` violent , illegitimate sham of an election process '' , Tsvangirai pulled out of the presidential run - off , the ZEC held the run - off and President Mugabe received a landslide majority . Supporters of the Movement for Democratic Change in 2005 . The MDC - T led by Morgan Tsvangirai is now the majority in the Lower chamber of Parliament . The MDC split into two factions . One faction ( MDC - M ) , now led by Arthur Mutambara contested the elections to the Senate , while the other , led by Tsvangirai , opposed to contesting the elections , stating that participation in a rigged election is tantamount to endorsing Mugabe 's claim that past elections were free and fair . The opposition parties have resumed participation in national and local elections as recently as 2006 . The two MDC camps had their congresses in 2006 with Tsvangirai being elected to lead MDC - T , which has become more popular than the other group . Mutambara , a robotics professor and former NASA robotics specialist has replaced Welshman Ncube who was the interim leader of MDC - M after the split . Morgan Tsvangirai did not participate in the Senate elections , while the Mutambara faction participated and won five seats in the Senate . The Mutambara formation has been weakened by defections from MPs and individuals who are disillusioned by their manifesto . As of 2008 , the Movement for Democratic Change has become the most popular , with crowds as large as 20,000 attending their rallies as compared to between 500 -- 5,000 for the other formation . On 28 April 2008 , Tsvangirai and Mutambara announced at a joint news conference in Johannesburg that the two MDC formations were co-operating , enabling the MDC to have a clear parliamentary majority . Tsvangirai said that Mugabe could not remain President without a parliamentary majority . On the same day , Silaigwana announced that the recounts for the final five constituencies had been completed , that the results were being collated and that they would be published on 29 April . In mid-September 2008 , after protracted negotiations overseen by the leaders of South Africa and Mozambique , Mugabe and Tsvangirai signed a power - sharing deal which would see Mugabe retain control over the army . Donor nations have adopted a ' wait - and - see ' attitude , wanting to see real change being brought about by this merger before committing themselves to funding rebuilding efforts , which are estimated to take at least five years . On 11 February 2009 Tsvangirai was sworn in as Prime Minister by President Mugabe . In November 2008 , the government of Zimbabwe spent US $7.3 million donated by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS , Tuberculosis and Malaria . A representative of the organisation declined to speculate on how the money was spent , except that it was not for the intended purpose , and the government has failed to honour requests to return the money . In February 2013 , Zimbabwe 's election chief , Simpson Mtambanengwe , resigned due to ill health . His resignation came months before the country 's constitutional referendum and elections .

Protests are discouraged by Zimbabwean police in Zimbabwe . There are widespread reports of systematic and escalating violations of human rights in Zimbabwe under the Mugabe administration and the dominant party , the ZANU - PF . In 2011 , there were reports of 640 corpses having been recovered from the Monkey William Mine in Chibondo . They were allegedly authenticated by the Fallen Heroes Trust of Zimbabwe and the Department of National Museums and Monuments who are leading the exhumation process as victims of the Ian Smith regime during the Rhodesian Bush War . One body was identified as a ZANLA cadre , Cde Rauya , by the Fallen Heroes Trust Chief exhumer . Government Minister Saviour Kasukuwere admitted the remains were discovered in 2008 , but claimed the remains were decades old despite clear evidence the exhumed skeletons still had hair and clothes . Solidarity Peace Trust said that the presence of soft tissues `` is not necessarily an indicator that these bones entered the grave more recently , although it could be . '' Journalists found a body in the mine with ' what appeared to be blood and fluids dripping onto the skulls below ' . The opposition MDC called for research on all violence that included killings of its supporters during disputed elections in 2008 . Amnesty International ( AI ) expressed concern that `` international best practice on exhumations is not being adhered to ... ( M ) ishandling of these mass graves has serious implications on potential exhumations of other sites in Zimbabwe . Thousands of civilians were also killed in Matabeleland and Midlands provinces in the mid 1980s and are allegedly buried in mine shafts and mass graves in these regions '' , AI added . According to human rights organisations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch the government of Zimbabwe violates the rights to shelter , food , freedom of movement and residence , freedom of assembly and the protection of the law . In 2009 , Gregory Stanton , then President of the International Association of Genocide Scholars , stated there was `` clear evidence that Mugabe government was guilty of crimes against humanity and that there was sufficient evidence of crimes against humanity to bring Mugabe to trial in front of the International Criminal Court . Opposition gatherings are frequently the subject of brutal attacks by the police force , such as the crackdown on an 11 March 2007 Movement for Democratic Change ( MDC ) rally and several others during the 2008 election campaign . In the attacks of 2007 , party leader Morgan Tsvangirai and 49 other opposition activists were arrested and severely beaten by the police . After his release , Morgan Tsvangirai told the BBC that he suffered head injuries and blows to the arms , knees and back , and that he lost a significant amount of blood and hundreds were killed . Police action was strongly condemned by the UN Secretary - General , Ban Ki - moon , the European Union and the United States . While noting that the activists had suffered injuries , but not mentioning the cause of them , the Zimbabwean state - owned daily newspaper The Herald claimed the police had intervened after demonstrators `` ran amok looting shops , destroying property , mugging civilians , and assaulting police officers and innocent members of the public '' . The newspaper argued that the opposition had been `` willfully violating the ban on political rallies '' . There are also abuses of media rights and access . The Zimbabwean government is accused of suppressing freedom of the press and freedom of speech . It has been repeatedly accused of using the public broadcaster , the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation , as a propaganda tool . Newspapers critical of the government , such as the Daily News , closed after bombs exploded at their offices and the government refused to renew their license . BBC News , Sky News , and CNN were banned from filming or reporting from Zimbabwe . In 2009 reporting restrictions on the BBC and CNN were lifted . Sky News continue to report on happenings within Zimbabwe from neighbouring countries like South Africa . Armed Forces ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification .

( May 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Main article : Zimbabwe Defence Forces The flag of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces . The Zimbabwe Defence Forces were set up by unifying three insurrectionist forces -- the Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army ( ZANLA ) , the Zimbabwe People 's Revolutionary Army ( ZIPRA ) , and the Rhodesian Security Forces ( RSF ) -- after the Second Chimurenga and Zimbabwean independence in 1980 . The integration period saw the formation of The Zimbabwe National Army ( ZNA ) and Air Force of Zimbabwe ( AFZ ) as separate entities under the command of Rtd General Solomon Mujuru and Air Marshal Norman Walsh who retired in 1982 , and was replaced by Air Marshal Azim Daudpota who handed over command to the late Rtd Air Chief Marshal Josiah Tungamirai in 1985 . In December 2003 , General Constantine Chiwenga , was promoted and appointed Commander of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces . Lieutenant General P.V. Sibanda replaced him as Commander of the Army . The ZNA currently has an active duty strength of 30,000 . The Air Force has about 5,139 standing personnel . The Zimbabwe Republic Police ( includes Police Support Unit , Paramilitary Police ) is part of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces and numbers 25,000 . Following majority rule in early 1980 , British Army trainers oversaw the integration of guerrilla fighters into a battalion structure overlaid on the existing Rhodesian armed forces . For the first year , a system was followed where the top - performing candidate became battalion commander . If he or she was from ZANLA , then his or her second - in - command was the top - performing ZIPRA candidate , and vice versa . This ensured a balance between the two movements in the command structure . From early 1981 , this system was abandoned in favour of political appointments , and ZANLA and ZANU fighters consequently quickly formed the majority of battalion commanders in the ZNA . The ZNA was originally formed into four brigades , composed of a total of 28 battalions . The brigade support units were composed almost entirely of specialists of the former Rhodesian Army , while unintegrated battalions of the Rhodesian African Rifles were assigned to the 1st , 3rd and 4th Brigades . The Fifth Brigade was formed in 1981 and disbanded in 1988 after the demonstration of mass brutality and murder during the brigade 's occupation of Matabeleland in what has become known as Gukurahundi ( Shona : `` the early rain which washes away the chaff before the spring rains '' ) , the campaign which finished off Mugabe 's liberation struggle . The Brigade had been re-formed by 2006 , with its commander , Brigadier - General John Mupande praising its `` rich history '' . Administrative divisions ( edit ) Main articles : Provinces of Zimbabwe , Districts of Zimbabwe , and Wards of Zimbabwe Administrative divisions of Zimbabwe Zimbabwe has a centralised government and is divided into eight provinces and two cities with provincial status , for administrative purposes . Each province has a provincial capital from where government administration is usually carried out . Province Capital Bulawayo Bulawayo Harare Harare Manicaland Mutare Mashonaland Central Bindura Mashonaland East Marondera Mashonaland West Chinhoyi Masvingo Masvingo city Matabeleland North Lupane District Matabeleland South Gwanda Midlands Gweru The names of most of the provinces were generated from the Mashonaland and Matabeleland divide at the time of colonisation : Mashonaland was the territory occupied first by the British South Africa Company Pioneer Column and Matabeleland the territory conquered during the First Matabele War . This corresponds roughly to the precolonial territory of the Shona people and the Matabele people , although there are significant ethnic minorities in most provinces . Each province is headed by a Provincial Governor , appointed by the President . The provincial government is run by a Provincial Administrator , appointed by the Public Service Commission . Other government functions at provincial level are carried out by provincial offices of national government departments . The provinces are subdivided into 59 districts and 1,200 wards ( sometimes referred to as municipalities ) . Each district is headed by a District Administrator , appointed by the Public Service Commission . There is also a Rural District Council , which appoints a chief executive officer . The Rural District Council is composed of elected ward councillors , the District Administrator and one representative of the chiefs ( traditional leaders appointed under customary law ) in the district . Other government functions at district level are carried out by district offices of national government departments . At the ward level there is a Ward Development Committee , comprising the elected ward councillor , the kraalheads ( traditional leaders subordinate to chiefs ) and representatives of Village Development Committees . Wards are subdivided into villages , each of which has an elected Village Development Committee and a Headman ( traditional leader subordinate to the kraalhead ) . Economy ( edit ) Main article : Economy of Zimbabwe A proportional representation of Zimbabwe 's exports , 2010 . Minerals , gold , and agriculture are the main foreign exports of Zimbabwe . Tourism also plays a key role in its economy . The mining sector remains very lucrative , with some of the world 's largest platinum reserves being mined by Anglo American plc and Impala Platinum . The Marange diamond fields , discovered in 2006 , are considered the biggest diamond find in over a century . They have the potential to improve the fiscal situation of the country considerably , but almost all revenues from the field have disappeared into the pockets of army officers and ZANU - PF politicians . In terms of carats produced , the Marange field is one of the largest diamond producing projects in the world , estimated to produce 12 million carats in 2014 worth over $350 million . Zimbabwe is the biggest trading partner of South Africa on the continent . Taxes and tariffs are high for private enterprises , while state enterprises are strongly subsidised . State regulation is costly to companies ; starting or closing a business is slow and costly . Government spending was predicted to reach 67 % of GDP in 2007 . Tourism was an important industry for the country , but has been failing in recent years . The Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force released a report in June 2007 , estimating 60 % of Zimbabwe 's wildlife has died since 2000 due to poaching and deforestation . The report warns that the loss of life combined with widespread deforestation is potentially disastrous for the tourist industry . The ICT sector of Zimbabwe has been growing at a fast pace . A report by the mobile internet browser company , Opera , in June / July 2011 has ranked Zimbabwe as Africa 's fastest growing market . A market in Mbare , Harare . Since 1 January 2002 , the government of Zimbabwe has had its lines of credit at international financial institutions frozen , through US legislation called the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act of 2001 ( ZDERA ) . Section 4C instructs the Secretary of the Treasury to direct directors at international financial institutions to veto the extension of loans and credit to the Zimbabwean government . According to the United States , these sanctions target only seven specific businesses owned or controlled by government officials and not ordinary citizens . The GDP per capita ( current ) , compared to neighbouring countries ( world average = 100 ) . Zimbabwe maintained positive economic growth throughout the 1980s ( 5 % GDP growth per year ) and 1990s ( 4.3 % GDP growth per year ) . The economy declined from 2000 : 5 % decline in 2000 , 8 % in 2001 , 12 % in 2002 and 18 % in 2003 . Zimbabwe 's involvement from 1998 to 2002 in the war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo drained hundreds of millions of dollars from the economy . From 1999 -- 2009 , Zimbabwe saw the lowest ever economic growth with an annual GDP decrease of 6.1 % . The downward spiral of the economy has been attributed mainly to mismanagement and corruption by the government and the eviction of more than 4,000 white farmers in the controversial land confiscations of 2000 . The Zimbabwean government and its supporters attest that it was Western policies to avenge the expulsion of their kin that sabotaged the economy . By 2005 , the purchasing power of the average Zimbabwean had dropped to the same levels in real terms as 1953 . In 2005 , the government , led by central bank governor Gideon Gono , started making overtures that white farmers could come back . There were 400 to 500 still left in the country , but much of the land that had been confiscated was no longer productive . By 2016 there were about 300 farms owned by white farmers left out of the original 4,500 . The farms left were either too remote or their owners had paid for protection or collaborated with the regime . In January 2007 , the government issued long term leases to some white farmers . At the same time , however , the government also continued to demand that all remaining white farmers , who were given eviction notices earlier , vacate the land or risk being arrested . Mugabe pointed to foreign governments and alleged `` sabotage '' as the cause of the fall of the Zimbabwean economy , as well as the country 's 80 % formal unemployment rate . Inflation rose from an annual rate of 32 % in 1998 , to an official estimated high of 11,200,000 % in August 2008 according to the country 's Central Statistical Office . This represented a state of hyperinflation , and the central bank introduced a new 100 billion dollar note . On 29 January 2009 , in an effort to counteract runaway inflation , acting Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa announced that Zimbabweans will be permitted to use other , more stable currencies to do business , alongside the Zimbabwe dollar . In an effort to combat inflation and foster economic growth the Zimbabwean Dollar was suspended indefinitely on 12 April 2009 . In 2016 Zimbabwe allowed trade in the United States dollar and various other currencies such as the rand ( South Africa ) , the pula ( Botswana ) , the euro , and the Pound Sterling ( UK ) . After the formation of the Unity Government and the adoption of several currencies instead of the Zimbabwe dollar in 2009 , the Zimbabwean economy rebounded . GDP grew by 8 -- 9 % a year between 2009 and 2012 . In November 2010 , the IMF described the Zimbabwean economy as `` completing its second year of buoyant economic growth '' . By 2014 , Zimbabwe had recovered to levels seen in the 1990s but between 2012 and 2016 growth faltered . Zimplats , the nation 's largest platinum company , has proceeded with US $500 million in expansions , and is also continuing a separate US $2 billion project , despite threats by Mugabe to nationalise the company . The pan-African investment bank IMARA released a favourable report in February 2011 on investment prospects in Zimbabwe , citing an improved revenue base and higher tax receipts . In late January 2013 , the Zimbabwean finance ministry reported that they had only $217 in their treasury and would apply for donations to finance the coming elections that is estimated to cost 107 million USD . As of October 2014 , Metallon Corporation was Zimbabwe 's largest gold miner . The group is looking to increase its production to 500,000 ounces per annum by 2019 . Agriculture ( edit ) Zimbabwe 's commercial farming sector was traditionally a source of exports and foreign exchange , and provided 400,000 jobs . However , the government 's land reform program badly damaged the sector , turning Zimbabwe into a net importer of food products . For example , between 2000 and 2016 annual wheat production fell from 250,000 tons to 60,000 tons , maize was reduced from two million tons to 500,000 tons and cattle slaughtered for beef fell from 605,000 to 244,000 . Coffee production , once a prized export commodity came to a virtual halt after seizure or expropriation of white - owned coffee farms in 2000 , and has never recovered . For the past ten years , the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics ( ICRISAT ) has been assisting Zimbabwe 's farmers to adopt conservation agriculture techniques , a sustainable method of farming that can help increase yields . By applying the three principles of minimum soil disturbance , legume - based cropping and the use of organic mulch , farmers can improve infiltration , reduce evaporation and soil erosion , and build up organic soil content . Between 2005 -- 11 , the number of smallholders practising conservation agriculture in Zimbabwe increased from 5000 to more than 150000 . Cereal yields rose between 15 and 100 per cent across different regions . Tourism ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification .

Since the land reform programme in 2000 , tourism in Zimbabwe has steadily declined . After rising during the 1990s , ( 1.4 million tourists in 1999 ) industry figures described a 75 % fall in visitors to Zimbabwe in 2000 . By December , less than 20 % of hotel rooms had been occupied . In 2016 , the total contribution of tourism to Zimbabwe was $1.1 billion ( USD ) , or about 8.1 % of Zimbabwe 's GDP . It is expected to rise 1.4 % in 2017 . Employment in travel and tourism , as well as industries travel and tourism indirectly supports , was 5.2 % of national employment and is expected to rise by 1.4 % in 2017 . Several airlines pulled out of Zimbabwe between 2000 and 2007 . Australia 's Qantas , Germany 's Lufthansa , and Austrian Airlines were among the first to pull out and in 2007 British Airways suspended all direct flights to Harare . The country 's flagship airline Air Zimbabwe , which operated flights throughout Africa and a few destinations in Europe and Asia , ceased operations in February 2012 . As of 2017 , several major commercial airlines had resumed flights to Zimbabwe . Zimbabwe has several major tourist attractions . Victoria Falls on the Zambezi , which are shared with Zambia , are located in the north west of Zimbabwe . Before the economic changes , much of the tourism for these locations came to the Zimbabwe side but now Zambia is the main beneficiary . The Victoria Falls National Park is also in this area and is one of the eight main national parks in Zimbabwe , the largest of which is Hwange National Park . The Eastern Highlands are a series of mountainous areas near the border with Mozambique . The highest peak in Zimbabwe , Mount Nyangani at 2,593 m ( 8,507 ft ) is located here as well as the Bvumba Mountains and the Nyanga National Park . World 's View is in these mountains and it is from here that places as far away as 60 -- 70 km ( 37 -- 43 mi ) are visible and , on clear days , the town of Rusape can be seen . Zimbabwe is unusual in Africa in that there are a number of ancient ruined cities built in a unique dry stone style . The most famous of these are the Great Zimbabwe ruins in Masvingo . Other ruins include Khami Ruins , Zimbabwe , Dhlo - Dhlo and Naletale . The Matobo Hills are an area of granite kopjes and wooded valleys commencing some 22 miles ( 35 km ) south of Bulawayo in southern Zimbabwe . The Hills were formed over 2,000 million years ago with granite being forced to the surface , then being eroded to produce smooth `` whaleback dwalas '' and broken kopjes , strewn with boulders and interspersed with thickets of vegetation . Mzilikazi , founder of the Ndebele nation , gave the area its name , meaning ' Bald Heads ' . They have become famous and a tourist attraction due to their ancient shapes and local wildlife . Cecil Rhodes and other early white pioneers like Leander Starr Jameson are buried in these hills at a site named World 's View . Water supply and sanitation ( edit ) Main article : Water supply and sanitation in Zimbabwe Water supply and sanitation in Zimbabwe is defined by many small scale successful programs but also by a general lack of improved water and sanitation systems for the majority of Zimbabwe . According to the World Health Organization in 2012 , 80 % of Zimbabweans had access to improved , i.e. clean , drinking - water sources , and only 40 % of Zimbabweans had access to improved sanitation facilities . Access to improved water supply and sanitation is distinctly less in rural areas . Public expenditure on education in Southern Africa as a share of GDP , 2012 or closest year . Source : UNESCO Science Report : towards 2030 ( 2015 ) There are many factors which continue to determine the nature , for the foreseeable future , of water supply and sanitation in Zimbabwe . Three major factors are the severely depressed state of the Zimbabwean economy , the reluctance of foreign aid organizations to build and finance infrastructure projects , and the political instability of the Zimbabwean state . Science and Technology ( edit ) Main article : Science and technology in Zimbabwe Zimbabwe has relatively well - developed national infrastructure and a long - standing tradition of promoting research and development ( R&D ) , as evidenced by the levy imposed on tobacco - growers since the 1930s to promote market research . The country also has a well - developed education system , with one in eleven adults holding a tertiary degree . Given the country 's solid knowledge base and abundant natural resources , Zimbabwe has the potential to figure among the countries leading growth in sub-Saharan Africa by 2020 . Scientific research output in terms of publications in Southern Africa , cumulative totals by field , 2008 -- 2014 . Source : UNESCO Science Report : towards 2030 ( 2015 ) , Figure 20.6 To do so , however , Zimbabwe will need to correct a number of structural weaknesses . For instance , it currently lacks the critical mass of researchers needed to trigger innovation . Although the infrastructure is in place to harness research and development to Zimbabwe 's socio - economic development , universities and research institutions lack the requisite financial and human resources to conduct research and the current regulatory environment hampers the transfer of new technologies to the business sector . The economic crisis has precipitated an exodus of university students and professionals in key areas of expertise ( medicine , engineering , etc . ) that is of growing concern . More than 22 % of Zimbabwean tertiary students were completing their degrees abroad in 2012 , compared to a 4 % average for sub-Saharan Africa as a whole . In 2012 , there were 200 researchers ( head count ) employed in the public sector , one - quarter of whom were women . This is double the continental average ( 91 in 2013 ) but only one - quarter the researcher density of South Africa ( 818 per million inhabitants ) . The government has created the Zimbabwe Human Capital Website to provide information for the diaspora on job and investment opportunities in Zimbabwe . Despite the fact that human resources are a pillar of any research and innovation policy , the Medium Term Plan 2011 -- 2015 did not discuss any explicit policy for promoting postgraduate studies in science and engineering . The scarcity of new PhDs in science and engineering fields from the University of Zimbabwe in 2013 was symptomatic of this omission . Nor does the development agenda to 2018 , the Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Economic Transformation , contain any specific targets for increasing the number of scientists and engineers , or the staffing requirements for industry and other productive sectors . In addition , the lack of co-ordination and coherence among governance structures has led to a multiplication of research priorities and poor implementation of existing policies . Scientific publication trends in the most productive SADC countries , 2005 -- 2014 . Source : UNESCO Science Report : towards 2030 ( 2015 ) , data from Thomson Reuters ' Web of Science , Science Citation Index Expanded The country 's Second Science and Technology Policy was launched in June 2012 , after being elaborated with UNESCO assistance . It replaces the earlier policy dating from 2002 . The 2012 policy prioritizes biotechnology , information and communication technologies ( ICTs ) , space sciences , nanotechnology , indigenous knowledge systems , technologies yet to emerge and scientific solutions to emergent environmental challenges . The Second Science and Technology Policy also asserts the government commitment to allocating at least 1 % of GDP to research and development , focusing at least 60 % of university education on developing skills in science and technology and ensuring that school pupils devote at least 30 % of their time to studying science subjects . In 2014 , Zimbabwe counted 21 publications per million inhabitants in internationally catalogued journals , according to Thomson Reuters ' Web of Science ( Science Citation Index Expanded ) . This placed Zimbabwe sixth out of the 15 SADC countries , behind Namibia ( 59 ) , Mauritius ( 71 ) , Botswana ( 103 ) and , above all , South Africa ( 175 ) and the Seychelles ( 364 ) . The average for sub-Saharan Africa was 20 scientific publications per million inhabitants , compared to a global average of 176 per million . Demographics ( edit ) Main article : Demographics of Zimbabwe A n'anga ( Traditional Healer ) of the majority ( 70 % ) Shona people , holding a kudu horn trumpet Zimbabwe 's total population is 12.97 million . According to the United Nations World Health Organisation , the life expectancy for men was 56 years and the life expectancy for women was 60 years of age ( 2012 ) . An association of doctors in Zimbabwe has made calls for President Mugabe to make moves to assist the ailing health service . The HIV infection rate in Zimbabwe was estimated to be 14 % for people aged 15 -- 49 in 2009 . UNESCO reported a decline in HIV prevalence among pregnant women from 26 % in 2002 to 21 % in 2004 . Some 85 % of Zimbabweans are Christian ; 62 % of the population attends religious services regularly . The largest Christian churches are Anglican , Roman Catholic , Seventh - day Adventist and Methodist . As in other African countries , Christianity may be mixed with enduring traditional beliefs . Ancestral worship is the most practised non-Christian religion , involving spiritual intercession ; the mbira dzavadzimu , which means `` voice of the ancestors '' , an instrument related to many lamellophones ubiquitous throughout Africa , is central to many ceremonial proceedings . Mwari simply means `` God the Creator '' ( musika vanhu in Shona ) . Around 1 % of the population is Muslim . A group of women and children in Norton , Zimbabwe Bantu - speaking ethnic groups make up 98 % of the population . The majority people , the Shona , comprise 70 % . The Ndebele are the second most populous with 20 % of the population . The Ndebele descended from Zulu migrations in the 19th century and the other tribes with which they intermarried . Up to one million Ndebele may have left the country over the last five years , mainly for South Africa . Other Bantu ethnic groups make up the third largest with 2 to 5 % : these are Venda , Tonga , Shangaan , Kalanga , Sotho , Ndau , Nambya , Tswana , Xhosa and Lozi . Minority ethnic groups include white Zimbabweans , who make up less than 1 % of the total population . White Zimbabweans are mostly of British origin , but there are also Afrikaner , Greek , Portuguese , French and Dutch communities . The white population dropped from a peak of around 278,000 or 4.3 % of the population in 1975 to possibly 120,000 in 1999 , and was estimated to be no more than 50,000 in 2002 , and possibly much less . The 2012 census lists the total white population at 28,782 ( roughly 0.22 % of the population ) , one - tenth of its 1975 estimated size . Most emigration has been to the United Kingdom ( between 200,000 and 500,000 Britons are of Rhodesian or Zimbabwean origin ) , South Africa , Botswana , Zambia , Canada , Australia and New Zealand . Coloureds form 0.5 % of the population , and various Asian ethnic groups , mostly of Indian and Chinese origin , are also 0.5 % . According to 2012 Census report , 99.7 % of the population is of African origin . Official fertility rates over the last decade were 3.6 ( 2002 Census ) , 3.8 ( 2006 ) and 3.8 ( 2012 Census ) .

Shona has a rich oral tradition , which was incorporated into the first Shona novel , Feso by Solomon Mutswairo , published in 1956 . English is spoken primarily in the cities , but less so in rural areas . Radio and television news now broadcast in Shona , Sindebele and English . Zimbabwe has 16 official languages and under the constitution , an Act of Parliament may prescribe other languages as officially recognised languages . Refugee crisis ( edit ) The economic meltdown and repressive political measures in Zimbabwe have led to a flood of refugees into neighbouring countries . An estimated 3.4 million Zimbabweans , a quarter of the population , had fled abroad by mid-2007 . Some 3,000,000 of these left for South Africa and Botswana . Apart from the people who fled into the neighbouring countries , there are approximately 36,000 internally displaced persons ( IDPs ) . There is no current comprehensive survey , although the following figures are available : Survey Number Date Source National Survey 880 -- 960,000 2007 Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment Committee Former Farm Workers 1,000,000 2008 UNDP Victims of Operation Murambatsvina 570,000 2005 UN People Displaced by Political Violence 36,000 2008 UN The above surveys do not include people displaced by Operation Chikorokoza Chapera or beneficiaries of the fast - track land reform programme but who have since been evicted . Religion ( edit ) Main article : Religion in Zimbabwe Religion in Zimbabwe religion percent Protestantism 63 % Roman Catholicism 17 % Ethnic religion 11 % Irreligion 7 % Others 2 % An estimated 80 % of the country 's citizens identify themselves as Christians . Protestants ( mostly followers of Pentecostal African Churches ) are around 63 % of the population . Estimates from 2005 said there were 1,145,000 Roman Catholics in Zimbabwe . This is about 9 % of the total population . The followers of ethnic religions are around 11 % . Around 1 % are Muslims , mainly from Mozambique and Malawi , 0.1 % are Hindus and 0.3 % are Baha'is . Approximately 7 % of citizens have no religious practice or are atheist . Culture ( edit ) Main article : Culture of Zimbabwe Zimbabwe has many different cultures which may include beliefs and ceremonies , one of them being Shona , Zimbabwe 's largest ethnic group . The Shona people have many sculptures and carvings which are made with the finest materials available . Zimbabwe first celebrated its independence on 18 April 1980 . Celebrations are held at either the National Sports Stadium or Rufaro Stadium in Harare . The first independence celebrations were held in 1980 at the Zimbabwe Grounds . At these celebrations doves are released to symbolise peace and fighter jets fly over and the national anthem is sung . The flame of independence is lit by the president after parades by the presidential family and members of the armed forces of Zimbabwe . The president also gives a speech to the people of Zimbabwe which is televised for those unable to attend the stadium . Zimbabwe also has a national beauty pageant , the Miss Heritage Zimbabwe contest which has been held annually ever since 2012 . Arts ( edit ) Main article : Zimbabwean art See also : Music of Zimbabwe `` Reconciliation '' , a stone sculpture by Amos Supuni Traditional arts in Zimbabwe include pottery , basketry , textiles , jewellery and carving . Among the distinctive qualities are symmetrically patterned woven baskets and stools carved out of a single piece of wood . Shona sculpture has become world - famous in recent years having found popularity in the 1940s . Most subjects of carved figures of stylised birds and human figures among others are made with sedimentary rocks such as soapstone , as well as harder igneous rocks such as serpentine and the rare stone verdite . Zimbabwean artefacts can be found in countries like Singapore , China and Canada . i.e. Dominic Benhura 's statue in the Singapore Botanic Gardens . Shona sculpture in has survived through the ages and the modern style is a fusion of African folklore with European influences . World - renowned Zimbabwean sculptors include Nicholas , Nesbert and Anderson Mukomberanwa , Tapfuma Gutsa , Henry Munyaradzi and Locardia Ndandarika . Internationally , Zimbabwean sculptors have managed to influence a new generation of artists , particularly Black Americans , through lengthy apprenticeships with master sculptors in Zimbabwe . Contemporary artists like New York sculptor M. Scott Johnson and California sculptor Russel Albans have learned to fuse both African and Afro - diasporic aesthetics in a way that travels beyond the simplistic mimicry of African Art by some Black artists of past generations in the United States . Several authors are well known within Zimbabwe and abroad . Charles Mungoshi is renowned in Zimbabwe for writing traditional stories in English and in Shona and his poems and books have sold well with both the black and white communities . Catherine Buckle has achieved international recognition with her two books African Tears and Beyond Tears which tell of the ordeal she went through under the 2000 Land Reform . The first Prime Minister of Rhodesia , Ian Smith , wrote two books -- The Great Betrayal and Bitter Harvest . The book The House of Hunger by Dambudzo Marechera won an award in the UK in 1979 and the Nobel Prize - winning author Doris Lessing 's first novel The Grass Is Singing , the first four volumes of The Children of Violence sequence , as well as the collection of short stories African Stories are set in Rhodesia . In 2013 NoViolet Bulawayo 's novel We Need New Names was shortlisted for the Booker Prize . The novel tells the story of the devastation and emigration caused by the brutal suppression of Zimbabwean civilians during the Gukurahundi in the early 1980s . Internationally famous artists include Henry Mudzengerere and Nicolas Mukomberanwa . A recurring theme in Zimbabwean art is the metamorphosis of man into beast . Zimbabwean musicians like Thomas Mapfumo , Oliver Mtukudzi , the Bhundu Boys ; Alick Macheso and Audius Mtawarira have achieved international recognition . Among members of the white minority community , Theatre has a large following , with numerous theatrical companies performing in Zimbabwe 's urban areas . Cuisine ( edit ) A meal of sadza ( right ) , greens , and goat offal . The goat 's small intestines are wrapped around small pieces of large intestines before cooking . Like in many African countries , the majority of Zimbabweans depend on a few staple foods . `` Mealie meal '' , also known as cornmeal , is used to prepare sadza or isitshwala , as well as porridge known as bota or ilambazi . Sadza is made by mixing the cornmeal with water to produce a thick paste / porridge . After the paste has been cooking for several minutes , more cornmeal is added to thicken the paste . This is usually eaten as lunch or dinner , usually with sides such as gravy , vegetables ( spinach , chomolia , or spring greens / collard greens ) , beans , and meat ( stewed , grilled , roasted , or sundried ) . Sadza is also commonly eaten with curdled milk ( sour milk ) , commonly known as `` lacto '' ( mukaka wakakora ) , or dried Tanganyika sardine , known locally as kapenta or matemba . Bota is a thinner porridge , cooked without the additional cornmeal and usually flavoured with peanut butter , milk , butter , or jam . Bota is usually eaten for breakfast . Graduations , weddings , and any other family gatherings will usually be celebrated with the killing of a goat or cow , which will be barbecued or roasted by the family . Raw boerewors Even though the Afrikaners are a small group ( 10 % ) within the white minority group , Afrikaner recipes are popular . Biltong , a type of jerky , is a popular snack , prepared by hanging bits of spiced raw meat to dry in the shade . Boerewors is served with sadza . It is a long sausage , often well - spiced , composed of beef rather than pork , and barbecued . As Zimbabwe was a British colony , some people there have adopted some colonial - era English eating habits . For example , most people will have porridge in the morning , as well as 10 o'clock tea ( midday tea ) . They will have lunch , often leftovers from the night before , freshly cooked sadza , or sandwiches ( which is more common in the cities ) . After lunch , there is usually 4 o'clock tea ( afternoon tea ) , which is served before dinner . It is not uncommon for tea to be had after dinner . Rice , pasta , and potato - based foods ( french fries and mashed potato ) also make up part of Zimbabwean cuisine . A local favourite is rice cooked with peanut butter , which is taken with thick gravy , mixed vegetables and meat . A potpourri of peanuts known as nzungu , boiled and sundried maize , black - eyed peas known as nyemba , and bambara groundnuts known as nyimo makes a traditional dish called mutakura . Mutakura can also be the above ingredients cooked individually . One can also find local snacks , such as maputi ( roasted / popped maize kernels similar to popcorn ) , roasted and salted peanuts , sugar cane , sweet potato , pumpkin , and indigenous fruits , such as horned melon , gaka , adansonia , mawuyu , uapaca kirkiana , mazhanje ( sugar plum ) , and many others . Sports ( edit ) Main article : Sport in Zimbabwe Zimbabwe women 's national football team at the 2016 Olympic Games Football is the most popular sport in Zimbabwe . The Warriors have qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations three times ( 2004 , 2006 , 2017 ) , and won the Southern Africa championship on four occasions ( 2000 , 2003 , 2005 , 2009 ) and the Eastern Africa cup once ( 1985 ) . Rugby union is a significant sport in Zimbabwe . The national side have represented the country at 2 Rugby World Cup tournaments in 1987 and 1991 . The team are currently ranked 26 in the world by World Rugby . Cricket also has a following among the white minority . It is one of ten Test cricket playing nations and a ICC full member as well . Notable cricket players from Zimbabwe include Andy Flower , Heath Streak and Brendan Taylor . Zimbabwe has won eight Olympic medals , one in field hockey with the women 's team at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow , and seven by swimmer Kirsty Coventry , three at the 2004 Summer Olympics and four at the 2008 Summer Olympics . Zimbabwe has also done well in the Commonwealth Games and All - Africa Games in swimming with Kirsty Coventry obtaining 11 gold medals in the different competitions . Zimbabwe has also competed at Wimbledon and the Davis Cup in tennis , most notably with the Black family , which comprises Wayne Black , Byron Black and Cara Black . Zimbabwe has also done well in golf . The Zimbabwean Nick Price held the official World Number 1 status longer than any player from Africa has ever done in the 24 - year history of the ranking . Other sports played in Zimbabwe are basketball , volleyball , netball , and water polo , as well as squash , motorsport , martial arts , chess , cycling , polocrosse , kayaking and horse racing . However , most of these sports do not have international representatives but instead stay at a junior or national level . Zimbabwean professional rugby league players currently playing overseas are Masimbaashe Motongo and Judah Mazive . Former players include now SANZAAR CEO Andy Marinos who made an appearance for South Africa at the Super League World Nines and featured for the Sydney Bulldogs as well as Zimbabwe - born former Scotland rugby union international Scott Gray , who spent time at the Brisbane Broncos . Media ( edit ) Main article : Media of Zimbabwe The media of Zimbabwe is now once again diverse , having come under tight restriction between 2002 and 2008 by the government during the growing economic and political crisis in the country . The Zimbabwean constitution promises freedom of the media and expression . Since the appointment of a new media and information minister in 2013 the media is currently facing less political interference and the supreme court has ruled some sections of the strict media laws as unconstitutional . In July 2009 the BBC and CNN were able to resume operations and report legally and openly from Zimbabwe . CNN welcomed the move . The Zimbabwe Ministry of Media , Information and Publicity stated that , `` the Zimbabwe government never banned the BBC from carrying out lawful activities inside Zimbabwe '' . The BBC also welcomed the move saying , `` we 're pleased at being able to operate openly in Zimbabwe once again '' . In 2010 the Zimbabwe Media Commission was established by the inclusive , power - sharing government . In May 2010 the Commission licensed three new privately owned newspapers , including the previously banned Daily News , for publication . Reporters Without Borders described the decisions as a `` major advance '' . In June 2010 NewsDay became the first independent daily newspaper to be published in Zimbabwe in seven years . ZBC 's monopoly in the broadcasting sector was ended with the licensing of two private radio stations in 2012 . Since the 2002 Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act ( AIPPA ) was passed , a number of privately owned news outlets were shut down by the government , including Daily News whose managing director Wilf Mbanga went on to form the influential The Zimbabwean . As a result , many press organisations have been set up in both neighbouring and Western countries by exiled Zimbabweans . Because the internet is currently unrestricted , many Zimbabweans are allowed to access online news sites set up by exiled journalists . Reporters Without Borders claims the media environment in Zimbabwe involves `` surveillance , threats , imprisonment , censorship , blackmail , abuse of power and denial of justice are all brought to bear to keep firm control over the news . '' The main published newspapers are The Herald and The Chronicle which are printed in Harare and Bulawayo respectively . The heavy - handedness on the media has progressively relaxed since 2009 . In its 2008 report , Reporters Without Borders ranked the Zimbabwean media as 151st out of 173 . The government also bans many foreign broadcasting stations from Zimbabwe , including the CBC , Sky News , Channel 4 , American Broadcasting Company , Australian Broadcasting Corporation ( ABC ) , and Fox News . News agencies and newspapers from other Western countries and South Africa have also been banned from the country . Scouting ( edit ) Main article : The Boy Scouts Association of Zimbabwe Baden - Powell 's drawing of Chief of Scouts Burnham , Matobo Hills , 1896 . It was in the Matabeleland region in Zimbabwe that , during the Second Matabele War , Robert Baden - Powell , the founder of Scouting , and Frederick Russell Burnham , the American born Chief of Scouts for the British Army , first met and began their lifelong friendship . In mid-June 1896 , during a scouting patrol in the Matobo Hills , Burnham began teaching Baden - Powell woodcraft . Baden - Powell and Burnham discussed the concept of a broad training programme in woodcraft for young men , rich in exploration , tracking , fieldcraft , and self - reliance . It was also during this time in the Matobo Hills that Baden - Powell first started to wear his signature campaign hat like the one worn by Burnham . Scouting in the former Rhodesia and Nyasaland started in 1909 when the first Boy Scout troop was registered . Scouting grew quickly and in 1924 Rhodesia and Nyasaland sent a large contingent to the second World Scout Jamboree in Ermelunden , Denmark . In 1959 , Rhodesia hosted the Central African Jamboree at Ruwa . In 2009 , Scouts celebrated 100 years of Scouting in Zimbabwe and hundreds of Scouts camped at Gordon Park , a Scout campground and training area , as part of these celebrations . Besides scouting , there are also leadership , life skills and general knowledge courses and training experiences mainly for school children ranging from pre-school to final year high school students and some times those beyond High school . These courses and outings are held at , for example , Lasting Impressions ( Lasting Impressions ~ Zimbabwe on YouTube ) , Far and Wide Zimbabwe ( Far and wide . ) and Chimanimani Outward Bound ( Outwardbound Zimbabwe at the Wayback Machine ( archived 16 June 2007 ) ) . National Symbols ( edit ) Traditional Zimbabwe Bird design The stone - carved Zimbabwe Bird appears on the national flags and the coats of arms of both Zimbabwe and Rhodesia , as well as on banknotes and coins ( first on Rhodesian pound and then Rhodesian dollar ) . It probably represents the bateleur eagle or the African fish eagle . The famous soapstone bird carvings stood on walls and monoliths of the ancient city of Great Zimbabwe , built , it is believed , sometime between the 13th and 16th centuries by ancestors of the Shona . The ruins , which gave their name to modern Zimbabwe , cover some 1,800 acres ( 7.3 km ) and are the largest ancient stone construction in Zimbabwe . Balancing Rocks are geological formations all over Zimbabwe . The rocks are perfectly balanced without other supports . They are created when ancient granite intrusions are exposed to weathering , as softer rocks surrounding them erode away . They are often remarked on and have been depicted on both the banknotes of Zimbabwe and the Rhodesian dollar banknotes . The ones found on the current notes of Zimbabwe , named the Banknote Rocks , are located in Epworth , approximately 9 miles ( 14 km ) south east of Harare . There are many different formations of the rocks , incorporating single and paired columns of 3 or more rocks . These formations are a feature of south and east tropical Africa from northern South Africa northwards to Sudan . The most notable formations in Zimbabwe are located in the Matobo National Park in Matabeleland . The National Anthem of Zimbabwe is `` Blessed be the Land of Zimbabwe '' ( Shona : `` Simudzai Mureza wedu WeZimbabwe '' ; Northern Ndebele : `` Kalibusiswe Ilizwe leZimbabwe '' ) . It was introduced in March 1994 after a nationwide competition to replace `` Ishe Komborera Africa '' as a distinctly Zimbabwean song . The winning entry was a song written by Professor Solomon Mutswairo and composed by Fred Changundega . It has been translated into all three of the main languages of Zimbabwe . Health ( edit ) See also : HIV / AIDS in Zimbabwe and Zimbabwean cholera outbreak Map showing the spread of cholera in and around Zimbabwe put together from several sources . At independence , the policies of racial inequality were reflected in the disease patterns of the black majority . The first five years after independence saw rapid gains in areas such as immunisation coverage , access to health care , and contraceptive prevalence rate . Zimbabwe was thus considered internationally to have an achieved a good record of health development . Zimbabwe suffered occasional outbreaks of acute diseases ( such as plague in 1994 ) . The gains on the national health were eroded by structural adjustment in the 1990s , the impact of the HIV / AIDS pandemic and the economic crisis since the year 2000 . In 2006 , Zimbabwe had one of the lowest life expectancies in the world according to UN figure -- 44 for men and 43 for women , down from 60 in 1990 , but recovered to 60 in 2015 . The rapid drop was ascribed mainly to the HIV / AIDS pandemic . Infant mortality rose from 6 % in the late 1990s to 12.3 % by 2004 . By 2016 HIV / AIDS prevalence had been reduced to 13.5 % compared to 40 % in 1998 . The health system has more or less collapsed . At the end of November 2008 , some operations at three of Zimbabwe 's four major referral hospitals had shut down , along with the Zimbabwe Medical School , and the fourth major hospital had two wards and no operating theatres working . Due to hyperinflation , those hospitals still open were not able to obtain basic drugs and medicines . The situation changed drastically after the Unity Government and the introduction of the multi-currency system in February 2009 although the political and economic crisis also contributed to the emigration of the doctors and people with medical knowledge . In August 2008 large areas of Zimbabwe were struck by the ongoing cholera epidemic . By December 2008 more than 10,000 people had been infected in all but one of Zimbabwe 's provinces and the outbreak had spread to Botswana , Mozambique , South Africa and Zambia . On 4 December 2008 the Zimbabwe government declared the outbreak to be a national emergency and asked for international aid . By 9 March 2009 The World Health Organization ( WHO ) estimated that 4,011 people had succumbed to the waterborne disease since the outbreak began in August 2008 , and the total number of cases recorded had reached 89,018 . In Harare , the city council offered free graves to cholera victims . There had been signs that the disease is abating , with cholera infections down by about 50 % to around 4,000 cases a week . The 2014 maternal mortality rate per 100,000 births for Zimbabwe was 614 compared to 960 in 2010 -- 11 and 232 in 1990 . The under 5 mortality rate , per 1,000 births was 75 in 2014 ( 94 in 2009 ) . The number of midwives per 1,000 live births was unavailable in 2016 and the lifetime risk of death for pregnant women 1 in 42 . Education ( edit ) Main article : Education in Zimbabwe St George 's College , Harare was established in 1896 by a French Jesuit Due to large investments in education since independence , Zimbabwe has the highest adult literacy rate in Africa which in 2013 was 90.70 % . This is lower than the 92 % recorded in 2010 by the United Nations Development Programme and the 97.0 % recorded in the 2002 census , while still substantially higher than 80.4 % recorded in the 1992 census . The education department has stated that 20,000 teachers have left Zimbabwe since 2007 and that half of Zimbabwe 's children have not progressed beyond primary school . The wealthier portion of the population usually send their children to independent schools as opposed to the government - run schools which are attended by the majority as these are subsidized by the government . School education was made free in 1980 , but since 1988 , the government has steadily increased the charges attached to school enrollment until they now greatly exceed the real value of fees in 1980 . The Ministry of Education of Zimbabwe maintains and operates the government schools but the fees charged by independent schools are regulated by the cabinet of Zimbabwe . Zimbabwe 's education system consists of 2 years of pre-school , 7 years of primary and 6 years of secondary schooling before students can enter university in the country or abroad . The academic year in Zimbabwe runs from January to December , with three terms , broken up by one month holidays , with a total of 40 weeks of school per year . National examinations are written during the third term in November , with `` O '' level and `` A '' level subjects also offered in June . There are seven public ( Government ) universities as well as four church - related universities in Zimbabwe that are fully internationally accredited . The University of Zimbabwe , the first and largest , was built in 1952 and is located in the Harare suburb of Mount Pleasant . Notable alumni from Zimbabwean universities include Welshman Ncube ; Peter Moyo ( of Amabhubesi ) ; Tendai Biti , Chenjerai Hove , Zimbabwean poet , novelist and essayist ; and Arthur Mutambara . Many of the current politicians in the government of Zimbabwe have obtained degrees from universities in USA or other universities abroad . National University of Science and Technology ( NUST ) is the second largest public research university in Zimbabwe located in Bulawayo . It was established in 1991 . The National University of Science and Technology strives to become a flourishing and reputable institution not only in Zimbabwe and in Southern Africa but also among the international fraternity of Universities . Its guidance , cultural values is the encouragement of all its members and society of those attitudes of fair mindedness , understanding , tolerance and respect for people and views which are essential for the attainment and maintenance of justice , peace and harmony at all times . Africa University is a United Methodist related university institution located in Manicaland which attracts students from at least 36 African countries . The institution has been growing steadily and has steady study material and learning facilities . The highest professional board for accountants is the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Zimbabwe ( ICAZ ) with direct relationships with similar bodies in South Africa , Canada , the UK and Australia . A qualified Chartered Accountant from Zimbabwe is also a member of similar bodies in these countries after writing a conversion paper . In addition , Zimbabwean - trained doctors only require one year of residence to be fully licensed doctors in the United States . The Zimbabwe Institution of Engineers ( ZIE ) is the highest professional board for engineers . Education in Zimbabwe became under threat since the economic changes in 2000 with teachers going on strike because of low pay , students unable to concentrate because of hunger and the price of uniforms soaring making this standard a luxury . Teachers were also one of the main targets of Mugabe 's attacks because he thought they were not strong supporters .

The theory suggests that early in a product 's life - cycle all the parts and labor associated with that product come from the area where it was invented . After the product becomes adopted and used in the world markets , production gradually moves away from the point of origin . In some situations , the product becomes an item that is imported by its original country of invention . A commonly used example of this is the invention , growth and production of the personal computer with respect to the United States . The model applies to labor - saving and capital - using products that ( at least at first ) cater to high - income groups . In the new product stage , the product is produced and consumed in the US ; no export trade occurs . In the maturing product stage , mass - production techniques are developed and foreign demand ( in developed countries ) expands ; the US now exports the product to other developed countries . In the standardized product stage , production moves to developing countries , which then export the product to developed countries . The model demonstrates dynamic comparative advantage . The country that has the comparative advantage in the production of the product changes from the innovating ( developed ) country to the developing countries . Contents ( hide ) 1 Product life - cycle 1.1 Stage 1 : Introduction 1.2 Stage 2 : Growth 1.3 Stage 3 : Maturity 1.4 Stage 4 : Saturation 1.5 Stage 5 : Decline 2 References 3 Further reading Product life - cycle ( edit ) Raymond Vernon divided products into three categories based on their stage in the product life cycle and how they behave in the international trade market : New Product Maturing Product Standardised Product There are five stages in a product 's life cycle in respect to the Product Life Cycle Theory : Introduction Growth Maturity Saturation Decline The location of production depends on the stage of the cycle . Stage 1 : introduction ( edit ) This is where the new product is introduced to the market , the customers are unaware about the product . To create demand , producers promote the new product to stimulate sales . At this stage , profits are low and there are only a few competitors . As more units of the product sell , it enters the next stage automatically . For example , a new product invented in the United States for local consumers is first produced in the United States because that is where the demand is , and producers want to stay close to the market to detect consumer response . Characteristics of the product and the production process are in a state of change during this stage as firms familiarize themselves with the product and the market . No international trade takes place . Stage 2 : Growth ( edit ) In this stage , demand for the product increases sales . As a result , production costs decrease and profits are high . The product becomes widely known and competitors enter the market with their own version of the product . To attract as many consumers as possible , the company that developed the original product increases promotional spending . When many potential new customers have bought the product , it enters the next stage Stage 3 : maturity ( edit ) In the maturity stage of the Product life cycle , the product is widely known and many consumers own it . In the maturity phase of the product life cycle , demand levels off and sales volume increases at a slower rate . There are several competitors by this stage and the original supplier may reduce prices to maintain market share and support sales . Profit margins decrease , but the business remains attractive because volume is high and costs , such as for development and promotion , are also lower . In addition , foreign demand for the product grows , but it is associated particularly with other developed countries , since the product is catering to high - income demands . For instance , in the case of the newly invented product , this rise in foreign demand ( assisted by economies of scale ) leads to a trade pattern whereby the United States exports the product to other high - income countries . Other developments also occur in the maturing product stage . Once the American firm is selling to other high - income countries , it may begin to assess the possibilities of producing abroad in addition to producing in the United States . With a plant in France , for example , not only France but other European countries can be supplied from the French facility rather than from the U.S. plant . Thus , an initial export surge by the United States is followed by a fall in U.S. exports and a likely fall in U.S. production of the good . Stage 4 : Saturation ( edit ) It is a stage in which there is neither increase nor decrease in the volume of sale. A through modification in the attribute of the product is needed to attract new consumers. Competitors product at this stage would have started gaining its market share Stage 5 : decline ( edit ) By this time in the product 's life cycle , the characteristics of the product itself and of the production process are well known ; the product is familiar to consumers and the production process to producers . This occurs when the product peaks in the maturity stage and then begins a downward slide in sales . Eventually , revenues drop to the point where it is no longer economically feasible to continue making the product . Investment is minimized . The product can simply be discontinued , or it can be sold to another company . Production may shift to the developing countries . Labor costs again play an important role , and the developed countries are busy introducing other products . For instance , the trade pattern shows that the United States and other developed countries have now started importing the product from the developing countries . On costs and revenues : Low production costs and a high demand ensures a longer product life . When production costs are high and demand is low , it is not offered on the market for a long time and , eventually , is withdrawn from the market in the ' ' decline ' ' stage Note that a particular firm or industry ( in a country ) stays in a market by adapting what they make and sell , i.e. , by riding the waves ...

In an episode of Finding Your Roots , LL learned his mother was adopted by Eugene Griffith and Ellen Hightower . The series ' genetic genealogist CeCe Moore identified LL 's biological grandparents as Ethel Mae Jolly and Nathaniel Christy Lewis through analysis of his DNA . LL 's biological great - uncle was hall of fame boxer , John Henry Lewis . He began rapping at the age of 9 , influenced by the hip - hop group The Treacherous Three . In March 1984 , sixteen - year - old Smith was creating demo tapes in his grandparents ' home . His grandfather , a jazz saxophonist , bought him $2,000 worth of equipment , including two turntables , an audio mixer and an amplifier . Smith stated that `` By the time I got that equipment , I was already a rapper . In this neighborhood , the kids grow up in rap . It 's like speaking Spanish if you grow up in an all - Spanish house . I got into it when I was about 9 , and since then all I wanted was to make a record and hear it on the radio . '' This was at the same time that NYU student Rick Rubin and promoter - manager Russell Simmons founded the then - independent Def Jam label . By using the mixer he had received from his grandfather , Smith produced and mixed his own demos and sent them to various record companies throughout New York City , including Def Jam . In a VH1 documentary ( Planet Rock : the Story of Hip Hop and the Crack Generation ) , LL Cool J , at 14 years of age , revealed that he initially wanted to call himself J - Ski but did not want to associate his stage name with the cocaine culture ( the rappers who use `` Ski '' or `` Blow '' as part of their stage name e.g. , Kurtis Blow , Joeski Love were associated with the rise of the cocaine culture as depicted in the 1983 remake of Scarface ) . Under his new stage name , LL Cool J ( an abbreviation for Ladies Love Cool James ) , Smith was signed by Def Jam , which led to the release of his first official record , the 12 - inch single `` I Need a Beat '' ( 1984 ) . The single was a hard - hitting , streetwise b - boy song with spare beats and ballistic rhymes. Smith later discussed his search for a label , stating `` I sent my demo to many different companies , but it was Def Jam where I found my home . '' That same year , Smith made his professional debut concert performance at Manhattan Center High School . In a later interview , LL Cool J recalled the experience , stating `` They pushed the lunch room tables together and me and my DJ , Cut Creator , started playing ... As soon as it was over there were girls screaming and asking for autographs . Right then and there I said ' This is what I want to do ' . '' LL 's debut single sold over 100,000 copies and helped establish both Def Jam as a label and Smith as a rapper . The commercial success of `` I Need a Beat '' , along with the Beastie Boys ' single `` Rock Hard '' ( 1984 ) , helped lead Def Jam to a distribution deal with Columbia Records the following year . LL Cool J married Simone Smith in 1995 . They have four children . Musical career ( edit ) 1985 -- 1987 : Radio ( edit ) Radio was released to critical acclaim , both for production innovation and LL 's powerful rap . Released November 18 , 1985 , on Def Jam Recordings in the United States , Radio earned a significant amount of commercial success and sales for a hip hop record at the time . Shortly after its release , the album sold over 500,000 copies in its first five months , eventually selling over 1 million copies by 1988 , according to the Recording Industry Association of America . Radio peaked at number 6 on the Top R&B / Hip - Hop Albums chart and at number 46 on the Billboard 200 albums chart . It entered the Top R&B / Hip - Hop Albums chart on December 28 , 1985 , and remained there for forty - seven weeks , while also entering the Pop Albums chart on January 11 , 1986 . Radio remained on the chart for thirty - eight weeks . By 1989 , the album had earned platinum status from the Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) , after earning a gold certification in the United States on April 14 , 1986 , with sales exceeding one million copies . `` I Ca n't Live Without My Radio '' and `` Rock the Bells '' were singles that helped the album go platinum . It eventually reached 1,500,000 in US sales . With the breakthrough success of his hit single `` I Need a Beat '' and the Radio LP , LL Cool J became one of the first hip - hop acts to achieve mainstream success along with Kurtis Blow and Run - D.M.C. . Gigs at larger venues were offered to LL as he would join the 1986 - ' 87 Raising Hell tour , opening for Run - D.M.C. and the Beastie Boys . Another milestone of LL 's popularity was his appearance on American Bandstand as the first hip hop act on the show , as well as an appearance on Diana Ross ' 1987 television special , Red Hot Rhythm & Blues . The album 's success also helped in contributing to Rick Rubin 's credibility and repertoire as a record producer . Radio , along with Raising Hell ( 1986 ) and Licensed to Ill ( 1986 ) , would form a trilogy of New York City - based , Rubin - helmed albums that helped to diversify hip - hop . Rubin 's production credit on the back cover reads `` REDUCED BY RICK RUBIN '' , referring to his minimalist production style , which gave the album its stripped - down and gritty sound . This style would serve as one of Rubin 's production trademarks and would have a great impact on future hip - hop productions . Rubin 's early hip hop production work , before his exit from Def Jam to Los Angeles , helped solidify his legacy as a hip hop pioneer and establish his reputation in the music industry . 1987 -- 1993 : breakthrough and success ( edit ) LL Cool J 's second album was 1987 's Bigger and Deffer , which was produced by DJ Pooh . This stands as his biggest - selling career album , having sold in excess of three million copies in the United States alone . It spent 11 weeks at # 1 on Billboard 's R&B albums chart . It also reached # 3 on the Billboard 's Pop albums chart . The album featured the singles `` I 'm Bad '' , the revolutionary `` I Need Love '' - LL 's first # 1 R&B and Top 40 hit , `` Bristol Hotel '' , and `` Go Cut Creator Go '' . LL Cool J 's third album was 1989 's Walking with a Panther . Released in 1989 , the album was a commercial success , with several charting singles ( `` Going Back to Cali , '' `` I 'm That Type of Guy , '' `` Jingling Baby , '' `` Big Ole Butt , '' and `` One Shot at Love '' ) . The album however was often criticized by the hip - hop community as being too commercial and materialistic , and for focusing too much on love ballads . According to Billboard , the album peaked at # 6 on the Billboard 200 and was LL Cool J 's second # 1 R&B Album where it spent four weeks . LL Cool J performing in Germany . While the previous album Bigger and Deffer , which was a big success , was produced by The L.A. Posse ( at the time consisting of Dwayne Simon , Darryl Pierce and , according to himself the most important for crafting the sound of the LP , Bobby `` Bobcat '' Ervin ) , Dwayne Simon was the only one left willing to work on producing Walking with a Panther . Bobcat said he wanted more money for the album after realizing how much of a success the previous album really had become but Def Jam refused to change the contract which made him leave Cool J. According to Bobcat this is the reason that Walking with a Panther was met with very mixed reception at the time of its release . In 1990 , LL released `` Mama Said Knock You Out '' , his fourth studio album . The Marley Marl produced album received critical acclaim and eventually went double Platinum selling over two million copies according to the RIAA . LL won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance in 1992 for the title track . 1993 -- 2005 : continued success and career prominence ( edit ) LL Cool J in 2001 . After acting in The Hard Way and Toys , LL Cool J released 14 Shots to the Dome . The album had four singles ( `` How I 'm Comin ' '' , `` Back Seat '' and the strangely titled `` Pink Cookies in a Plastic Bag Getting Crushed by Buildings '' , `` Stand by your man '' ) and guest - featured labelmates Lords of the Underground on `` NFA - No Frontin ' Allowed '' . The album went gold . LL Cool J starred in In the House , an NBC sitcom , before releasing Mr. Smith ( 1995 ) , which went on to sell over two million copies . Its singles included `` Doin ' It '' and `` Loungin '' . Another of the album 's singles , `` Hey Lover '' , featured Boyz II Men sampling Michael Jackson 's `` The Lady in My Life , '' which eventually became one of the first hip - hop music videos to air on VH1 . The song also earned him a Grammy Award . Yet another single from the album , `` I Shot Ya Remix '' , included vocal work by Foxy Brown . In 1996 , Def Jam released this `` greatest hits '' package , offering a good summary of Cool J 's career , from the relentless minimalism of early hits such as `` Rock the Bells '' to the smooth - talking braggadocio that followed . Classic albums including Bigger and Deffer and Mama Said Knock You Out are well represented here . In 1997 , he released the album Phenomenon . The singles included `` Phenomenon '' and `` Father '' . The official second single from Phenomenon was `` 4 , 3 , 2 , 1 '' , which featured Method Man , Redman & Master P and introduced DMX and Canibus . In 2000 , LL Cool J released the album G.O.A.T. , which stood for the `` Greatest of All Time . '' It debuted at number one on the Billboard album charts , and went platinum . LL Cool J thanked Canibus in the liner notes of the album , `` for the inspiration '' . LL Cool J 's next album 10 from 2002 , was his 9th studio ( 10th overall including his greatest hits compilation All World ) , and included the singles `` Paradise '' ( featuring Amerie ) , `` Luv U Better '' , produced by Pharrell and the Neptunes , and the 2003 Jennifer Lopez duet , `` All I Have '' . The album reached platinum status . LL Cool J 's tenth album The DEFinition was released on August 31 , 2004 . The album debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard charts .

LL Cool J founded and launched Boomdizzle.com , a record label / social networking site launched in September 2008 . The website accepts music uploads from aspiring artists , primarily from the hip - hop genre , and the site 's users rate songs through contests , voting , and other community events . LL Cool J was an early investor of Apache HTTP Server , and some of his early lyrics are still hidden in the lines of code . LL Cool J also appeared in an introduction to Wrestlemania 31 . Political involvement ( edit ) In 2002 , LL Cool J supported Republican Governor of New York George Pataki 's bid for a third term . In 2003 , LL Cool J appeared before a senate committee hearing on P2P file - sharing , voicing his support alongside the RIAA , expressing that he just wished `` music could be downloaded legitimately . '' He has also voiced his support for New York State Senator Malcolm Smith , a Democrat , during an appearance on the senator 's local television show and has worked with Smith in putting on the annual Jump and Ball Tournament ( since 2003 ) in the rapper 's childhood neighborhood of St. Albans , Queens . In a February 10 , 2012 televised interview with CNN host Piers Morgan , LL Cool J expressed sympathy for President Obama and ascribed negative impressions of his leadership to Republican obstruction designed to `` make it look like you have a coordination problem . '' He was quick to add that no one `` should assume that I 'm a Democrat either . I 'm an Independent , you know ? '' In LL Cool J 's Platinum 360 Diet and Lifestyle , he included Barack Obama in a list of `` People I admire '' saying , `` He accomplished what people thought was impossible . '' Legacy ( edit ) With the breakthrough success of his hit single `` I Need a Beat '' and the Radio LP , LL Cool J became one of the first hip - hop acts to achieve mainstream success along with Kurtis Blow and Run - D.M.C. . Gigs at larger venues were offered to LL as he would join the 1986 - ' 87 Raising Hell tour , opening for Run - D.M.C. and the Beastie Boys . Another milestone of LL 's popularity was his appearance on American Bandstand as the first hip hop act on the show . The album 's success also helped in contributing to Rick Rubin 's credibility and repertoire as a record producer . Radio , along with Raising Hell ( 1986 ) and Licensed to Ill ( 1986 ) , would form a trilogy of New York City - based , Rubin - helmed albums that helped to diversify hip - hop . Rubin 's production credit on the back cover reads `` REDUCED BY RICK RUBIN '' , referring to his minimalist production style , which gave the album its stripped - down and gritty sound . This style would serve as one of Rubin 's production trademarks and would have a great impact on future hip - hop productions . Rubin 's early hip hop production work , before his exit from Def Jam to Los Angeles , helped solidify his legacy as a hip hop pioneer and establish his reputation in the music industry . Radio 's release coincided with the growing new school scene and subculture , which also marked the beginning of hip - hop 's `` golden age '' and the replacement of old school hip hop . This period of hip hop was marked by the end of the disco rap stylings of old school , which had flourished prior to the mid-1980s , and the rise of a new style featuring `` ghetto blasters '' . Radio served as one of the earliest records , along with Run - D.M.C. 's debut album , to combine the vocal approach of hip hop and rapping with the musical arrangements and riffing sound of rock music , pioneering the rap rock hybrid sound . The emerging new school scene was initially characterized by drum machine - led minimalism , often tinged with elements of rock , as well as boasts about rapping delivered in an aggressive , self - assertive style . In image as in song , the artists projected a tough , cool , street b - boy attitude . These elements contrasted sharply with the 1970s P - Funk and disco - influenced outfits , live bands , synthesizers and party rhymes of acts prevalent in 1984 , rendering them old school . In contrast to the lengthy , jam - like form predominant throughout early hip hop ( `` King Tim III '' , `` Rapper 's Delight '' , `` The Breaks '' ) , new school artists tended to compose shorter songs that would be more accessible and had potential for radio play , and conceive more cohesive LPs than their old school counterparts ; the style typified by LL Cool J 's Radio . A leading example of the new school sound is the song `` I Ca n't Live Without My Radio '' , a loud , defiant declaration of public loyalty to his boom box , which The New York Times described as `` quintessential rap in its directness , immediacy and assertion of self '' . It was featured in the film Krush Groove ( 1985 ) , which was based on the rise of Def Jam and new school acts such as Run - D.M.C. and the Fat Boys . The energy and hardcore delivery and musical style of rapping featured on Radio , as well as other new school recordings by artists such as Run - D.M.C. , Schooly D , T La Rock and Steady B , proved to be influential to hip hop acts of the `` golden age '' such as Boogie Down Productions and Public Enemy . The decline of the old school form of hip hop also led to the closing of Sugar Hill Records , one of the labels that helped contribute to early hip - hop and that , coincidently , rejected LL 's demo tape . As the album served as an example of an expansion of hip hop music 's artistic possibilities , its commercial success and distinct sound soon led to an increase in multi-racial audiences and listeners , adding to the legacy of the album and hip hop as well . He is mentioned in the 2015 biopic Straight Outta Compton . In 2017 , LL Cool J. became the first rapper to be honored at the Kennedy Center Honors .

Assembly of a Pelton wheel at Walchensee Hydroelectric Power Station , Germany . Figure from Pelton 's original patent ( October 1880 ) . Sectional view of a Pelton turbine installation . Bucket detail on a small turbine . The Pelton wheel is an impulse - type water turbine . It was invented by Lester Allan Pelton in the 1870s . The Pelton wheel extracts energy from the impulse of moving water , as opposed to water 's dead weight like the traditional overshot water wheel . Many variations of impulse turbines existed prior to Pelton 's design , but they were less efficient than Pelton 's design . Water leaving those wheels typically still had high speed , carrying away much of the dynamic energy brought to the wheels . Pelton 's paddle geometry was designed so that when the rim ran at half the speed of the water jet , the water left the wheel with very little speed ; thus his design extracted almost all of the water 's impulse energy -- which allowed for a very efficient turbine . Contents ( hide ) 1 Function 2 Applications 3 Design rules 4 Turbine physics and derivation 4.1 Energy and initial jet velocity 4.2 Final jet velocity 4.3 Optimal wheel speed 4.4 Torque 4.5 Power 4.6 Efficiency 5 System components 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Function ( edit ) Nozzles direct forceful , high - speed streams of water against a series of spoon - shaped buckets , also known as impulse blades , which are mounted around the outer rim of a drive wheel -- also called a runner ( see photo , ' Old Pelton wheel ... ' ) . As the water jet hits the blades , the direction of water velocity is changed to follow the contours of the blades . The impulse energy of the water jet exerts torque on the bucket - and - wheel system , spinning the wheel ; the water jet does a `` u-turn '' and exits at the outer sides of the bucket , decelerated to a low velocity . In the process , the water jet 's momentum is transferred to the wheel and hence to a turbine . Thus , `` impulse '' energy does work on the turbine . Maximum power and efficiency are achieved when the velocity of the water jet is twice the velocity of the rotating buckets . A very small percentage of the water jet 's original kinetic energy will remain in the water , which causes the bucket to be emptied at the same rate it is filled , ( see conservation of mass ) and thereby allows the high - pressure input flow to continue uninterrupted and without waste of energy . Typically two buckets are mounted side - by - side on the wheel , with the water jet split into two equal streams ; this balances the side - load forces on the wheel and helps to ensure smooth , efficient transfer of momentum from the water jet to the turbine wheel . Because water is nearly incompressible , almost all of the available energy is extracted in the first stage of the hydraulic turbine . Therefore , Pelton wheels have only one turbine stage , unlike gas turbines that operate with compressible fluid . Applications ( edit ) Pelton wheels are the preferred turbine for hydro - power where the available water source has relatively high hydraulic head at low flow rates . Pelton wheels are made in all sizes . There exist multi-ton Pelton wheels mounted on vertical oil pad bearings in hydroelectric plants . The largest units - the Bieudron Hydroelectric Power Station at the Grande Dixence Dam complex in Switzerland - are over 400 megawatts ( 1 ) . The smallest Pelton wheels are only a few inches across , and can be used to tap power from mountain streams having flows of a few gallons per minute . Some of these systems use household plumbing fixtures for water delivery . These small units are recommended for use with 30 metres ( 100 ft ) or more of head , in order to generate significant power levels . Depending on water flow and design , Pelton wheels operate best with heads from 15 -- 1,800 metres ( 50 -- 5,910 ft ) , although there is no theoretical limit . Design rules ( edit ) The specific speed η s ( \ displaystyle \ eta _ ( s ) ) parameter is independent of a particular turbine 's size . Compared to other turbine designs , the relatively low specific speed of the Pelton wheel , implies that the geometry is inherently a `` low gear '' design . Thus it is most suitable to being fed by a hydro source with a low ratio of flow to pressure , ( meaning relatively low flow and / or relatively high pressure ) . The specific speed is the main criterion for matching a specific hydro - electric site with the optimal turbine type . It also allows a new turbine design to be scaled from an existing design of known performance . η s = n P / ρ ( g H ) 5 / 4 ( \ displaystyle \ eta _ ( s ) = n ( \ sqrt ( P ) ) / ( \ sqrt ( \ rho ) ) ( gH ) ^ ( 5 / 4 ) ) ( dimensioned parameter ) , where : n ( \ displaystyle n ) = Frequency of rotation ( rpm ) P ( \ displaystyle P ) = Power ( W ) H ( \ displaystyle H ) = Water head ( m ) ρ ( \ displaystyle \ rho ) = Density ( kg / m ) The formula implies that the Pelton turbine is geared most suitably for applications with relatively high hydraulic head H , due to the 5 / 4 exponent being greater than unity , and given the characteristically low specific speed of the Pelton . Turbine physics and derivation ( edit ) Energy and initial jet velocity ( edit ) In the ideal ( frictionless ) case , all of the hydraulic potential energy ( E = mgh ) is converted into kinetic energy ( E = mv / 2 ) ( see Bernoulli 's principle ) . Equating these two equations and solving for the initial jet velocity ( V ) indicates that the theoretical ( maximum ) jet velocity is V = √ 2gh . For simplicity , assume that all of the velocity vectors are parallel to each other . Defining the velocity of the wheel runner as : ( u ) , then as the jet approaches the runner , the initial jet velocity relative to the runner is : ( V − u ) . The initial velocity of jet is V Final jet velocity ( edit ) Assuming that the jet velocity is higher than the runner velocity , if the water is not to become backed - up in runner , then due to conservation of mass , the mass entering the runner must equal the mass leaving the runner . The fluid is assumed to be incompressible ( an accurate assumption for most liquids ) . Also it is assumed that the cross-sectional area of the jet is constant . The jet speed remains constant relative to the runner . So as the jet recedes from the runner , the jet velocity relative to the runner is : − ( V − u ) = − V + u . In the standard reference frame ( relative to the earth ) , the final velocity is then : V = ( − V + u ) + u = − V + 2u . Optimal wheel speed ( edit ) We know that the ideal runner speed will cause all of the kinetic energy in the jet to be transferred to the wheel . In this case the final jet velocity must be zero . If we let − V + 2u = 0 , then the optimal runner speed will be u = V / 2 , or half the initial jet velocity . Torque ( edit ) By Newton 's second and third laws , the force F imposed by the jet on the runner is equal but opposite to the rate of momentum change of the fluid , so F = − m ( V − V ) / t = − ρQ ( ( − V + 2u ) − V ) = − ρQ ( − 2V + 2u ) = 2ρQ ( V − u ) , where ρ is the density , and Q is the volume rate of flow of fluid . If D is the wheel diameter , the torque on the runner is T = F ( D / 2 ) = ρQD ( V − u ) . The torque is maximal when the runner is stopped ( i.e. when u = 0 , T = ρQDV ) . When the speed of the runner is equal to the initial jet velocity , the torque is zero ( i.e. when u = V , then T = 0 ) . On a plot of torque versus runner speed , the torque curve is straight between these two points : ( 0 , pQDV ) and ( V , 0 ) . Nozzle efficiency is the ratio of the jet power to the water power at the base of nozzle Power ( edit ) The power P = Fu = Tω , where ω is the angular velocity of the wheel . Substituting for F , we have P = 2ρQ ( V − u ) u . To find the runner speed at maximum power , take the derivative of P with respect to u and set it equal to zero , ( dP / du = 2ρQ ( V − 2u ) ) . Maximum power occurs when u = V / 2 . P = ρQV / 2 . Substituting the initial jet power V = √ 2gh , this simplifies to P = ρghQ . This quantity exactly equals the kinetic power of the jet , so in this ideal case , the efficiency is 100 % , since all the energy in the jet is converted to shaft output . Efficiency ( edit ) A wheel power divided by the initial jet power , is the turbine efficiency , η = 4u ( V − u ) / V. It is zero for u = 0 and for u = V. As the equations indicate , when a real Pelton wheel is working close to maximum efficiency , the fluid flows off the wheel with very little residual velocity . In theory , the energy efficiency varies only with the efficiency of the nozzle and wheel , and does not vary with hydraulic head . The term `` efficiency '' can refer to : Hydraulic , Mechanical , Volumetric , Wheel , or overall efficiency . System components ( edit ) The conduit bringing high - pressure water to the impulse wheel is called the penstock . Originally the penstock was the name of the valve , but the term has been extended to include all of the fluid supply hydraulics . Penstock is now used as a general term for a water passage and control that is under pressure , whether it supplies an impulse turbine or not .

This concept evolved over the course of the 19th century and became codified into the law of some states in the early 20th century . It was associated with the principle of `` invisible blackness '' and is an example of hypodescent , the automatic assignment of children of a mixed union between different socioeconomic or ethnic groups to the group with the lower status . The social and legal concept of the `` one - drop rule '' does not exist outside the United States . The `` one - drop rule '' is defunct in the United States and was never codified into federal law .

In the antebellum years , free people of mixed race ( free people of color ) were considered legally white if individuals had less than one - eighth or one - quarter African ancestry ( depending on the state ) . Many mixed - race people were absorbed into the majority culture based simply on appearance , associations and carrying out community responsibilities . These and community acceptance were the more important factors if a person 's racial status were questioned , not his or her documented ancestry . Because of the social mobility of antebellum society in frontier areas , many people did not have documentation about their ancestors . Based on DNA and historical evidence , Thomas Jefferson is widely believed to have fathered the six mixed - race children of his slave Sally Hemings ; four survived to adulthood . Hemings was three - quarters white by ancestry and a half - sister of Martha Wayles Jefferson . Their children were born into slavery because of her status ; as they were seven - eighths European in ancestry , they were legally white under Virginia law of the time . Jefferson allowed the two oldest to escape in 1822 ( freeing them legally was a public action he elected to avoid ) ; the two youngest he freed in his 1826 will . Three of the four entered white society as adults , and all their descendants identified as white . Although racial segregation was adopted legally by southern states of the former Confederacy in the late 19th century , legislators resisted defining race by law as part of preventing interracial marriages . In 1895 in South Carolina during discussion , George D. Tillman said , It is a scientific fact that there is not one full - blooded Caucasian on the floor of this convention . Every member has in him a certain mixture of ... colored blood ... It would be a cruel injustice and the source of endless litigation , of scandal , horror , feud , and bloodshed to undertake to annul or forbid marriage for a remote , perhaps obsolete trace of Negro blood . The doors would be open to scandal , malice , and greed . The one - drop rule was not adopted as law until the 20th century : first in Tennessee in 1910 and in Virginia under the Racial Integrity Act of 1924 ( following the passage of similar laws in several other states ) . Native Americans ( edit ) Further information : Lineal descendant and Blood quantum laws In the early colonial years , marriages between Natives and non-Natives usually consisted of a white father and an Indian mother . This was due to the majority of the early colonists being male . Among many tribes , mixed - race children are considered part of the community if they are raised in the culture . This is particularly the case in matrilineal nations , where if the mother is a citizen of the nation , so are all her children , no matter who the father may be . Among patrilineal tribes , such as the Omaha , a child born to an Omaha mother and a white father could belong officially to the Omaha tribe only if the child were formally adopted into it by a male citizen . Twentieth century ( edit ) In the U.S. , the concept of the one - drop rule has been chiefly applied by white Americans to those of sub-Saharan black African ancestry in the 20th century , when they were trying to maintain white supremacy . The poet Langston Hughes wrote in his 1940 memoir : You see , unfortunately , I am not black . There are lots of different kinds of blood in our family . But here in the United States , the word ' Negro ' is used to mean anyone who has any Negro blood at all in his veins . In Africa , the word is more pure . It means all Negro , therefore black . I am brown . Whites also applied this rule to mixed - race descendants of Native American and African ethnicity , classifying them as African . In this they ignored how people identified themselves ; many Native American tribes reared children of mixed race as culturally within their tribe . This distinction was critical as Native American slavery had ended during the colonial years . A child of a Native American mother should not be enslaved . Today there are no enforceable laws in the U.S. in which the one - drop rule is applicable . Sociologically , however , the concept remains somewhat pervasive , embraced mostly by people of Sub-Saharan African descent , and research has shown that some white people associate bi-racial children with the non-white race of the individual . Legislation and practice ( edit ) Both before and after the American Civil War , many people of mixed ancestry who `` looked white '' and were of mostly white ancestry were legally absorbed into the white majority . State laws established differing standards . For instance , an 1822 Virginia law stated that to be defined as mulatto ( that is , multi-racial ) , a person had to have at least one - quarter ( equivalent to one grandparent ) African ancestry . Social acceptance and identity were historically the keys to racial identity . Virginia 's one - fourth standard remained in place until 1910 , when the standard was changed to one sixteenth . In 1924 , under the Racial Integrity Act , even the one sixteenth standard was scrapped . This act defined a person as legally `` colored '' ( black ) for classification and legal purposes if the individual had any African ancestry . Although the Virginia legislature increased restrictions on free blacks following the Nat Turner Rebellion of 1831 , it refrained from establishing a one - drop rule . When a proposal was made by Travis H. Eppes and debated in 1853 , representatives realized that such a rule could adversely affect whites , as they were aware of generations of interracial relationships . During the debate , a person wrote to the Charlottesville newspaper : ( If a one - drop rule were adopted ) , I doubt not , if many who are reputed to be white , and are in fact so , do not in a very short time find themselves instead of being elevated , reduced by the judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction , to the level of a free negro . The state legislators agreed . No such law was passed until 1924 , apparently assisted by the fading recollection of familial histories . The Melungeons are a group of multiracial families of mostly European and African ancestry whose ancestors were free in colonial Virginia . They migrated to the frontier in Kentucky and Tennessee . Their descendants have been documented over the decades as having tended to marry persons classified as `` white '' . Their descendants became assimilated into the majority culture from the 19th to the 20th centuries . Pursuant to Reconstruction later in the 19th century , southern states acted to impose racial segregation by law and restrict the liberties of blacks , specifically passing laws to exclude them from politics and voting . From 1890 to 1908 , all of the former Confederate states passed such laws , and most preserved disfranchisement until after passage of federal civil rights laws in the 1960s . At the South Carolina constitutional convention in 1895 , an anti-miscegenation law and changes that would disfranchise blacks were proposed . Delegates debated a proposal for a one - drop rule to include in these laws . George D. Tillman said the following in opposition : If the law is made as it now stands respectable families in Aiken , Barnwell , Colleton , and Orangeburg will be denied the right to intermarry among people with whom they are now associated and identified . At least one hundred families would be affected to my knowledge . They have sent good soldiers to the Confederate Army , and are now landowners and taxpayers . Those men served creditably , and it would be unjust and disgraceful to embarrass them in this way . It is a scientific fact that there is not one full - blooded Caucasian on the floor of this convention . Every member has in him a certain mixture of ... colored blood . The pure - blooded white has needed and received a certain infusion of darker blood to give him readiness and purpose . It would be a cruel injustice and the source of endless litigation , of scandal , horror , feud , and bloodshed to undertake to annul or forbid marriage for a remote , perhaps obsolete trace of Negro blood . The doors would be open to scandal , malice , and greed ; to statements on the witness stand that the father or grandfather or grandmother had said that A or B had Negro blood in their veins . Any man who is half a man would be ready to blow up half the world with dynamite to prevent or avenge attacks upon the honor of his mother in the legitimacy or purity of the blood of his father . In 1865 , Florida passed an act that both outlawed miscegenation and defined the amount of Black ancestry needed to be legally defined as a `` person of color '' . The act stated that `` every person who shall have one - eighth or more of negro blood shall be deemed and held to be a person of color . '' ( This was the equivalent of one great - grandparent . ) Additionally , the act outlawed fornication , as well as the intermarrying of white females with men of color . However , the act permitted the continuation of marriages between white persons and persons of color that were established before the law was enacted . The one - drop rule was made law , though primarily in the U.S. South , also in other states , in the 20th century -- decades after the Civil War , emancipation , and the Reconstruction era . It followed restoration of white supremacy in the South and the passage of Jim Crow racial segregation laws . In the 20th century , it was also associated with the rise of eugenics and ideas of racial purity . From the late 1870s on , white Democrats regained political power in the former Confederate states and passed racial segregation laws controlling public facilities , and laws and constitutions from 1890 to 1910 to achieve disfranchisement of most blacks . Many poor whites were also disfranchised in these years , by changes to voter registration rules that worked against them , such as literacy tests , longer residency requirements and poll taxes . The first challenges to such state laws were overruled by Supreme Court decisions which upheld state constitutions that effectively disfranchised many . White Democratic - dominated legislatures proceeded with passing Jim Crow laws that instituted racial segregation in public places and accommodations , and passed other restrictive voting legislation . In Plessy v. Ferguson , the Supreme Court allowed racial segregation of public facilities , under the `` separate but equal '' doctrine . Jim Crow laws reached their greatest influence during the decades from 1910 to 1930 . Among them were hypodescent laws , defining as black anyone with any black ancestry , or with a very small portion of black ancestry . Tennessee adopted such a `` one - drop '' statute in 1910 , and Louisiana soon followed . Then Texas and Arkansas in 1911 , Mississippi in 1917 , North Carolina in 1923 , Virginia in 1924 , Alabama and Georgia in 1927 , and Oklahoma in 1931 . During this same period , Florida , Indiana , Kentucky , Maryland , Missouri , Nebraska , North Dakota , and Utah retained their old `` blood fraction '' statutes de jure , but amended these fractions ( one - sixteenth , one - thirty - second ) to be equivalent to one - drop de facto . Before 1930 , individuals of visible mixed European and African ancestry were usually classed as mulatto , or sometimes as black and sometimes as white , depending on appearance . Previously , most states had limited trying to define ancestry before `` the fourth degree '' ( great - great - grandparents ) . But , in 1930 , due to lobbying by southern legislators , the Census Bureau stopped using the classification of mulatto . Documentation of the long social recognition of mixed - race people was lost . The binary world of the one - drop rule disregarded the self - identification both of people of mostly European ancestry who grew up in white communities , and of people who were of mixed race and identified as American Indian . In addition , Walter Plecker , Registrar of Statistics , ordered application of the 1924 Virginia law in such a way that vital records were changed or destroyed , family members were split on opposite sides of the color line , and there were losses of the documented continuity of people who identified as American Indian , as all people in Virginia had to be classified as white or black . Over the centuries , many Indian tribes in Virginia had absorbed people of other ethnicities through marriage or adoption , but maintained their cultures . Suspecting blacks of trying to `` pass '' as Indians , Plecker ordered records changed to classify people only as black or white , and ordered offices to reclassify certain family surnames from Indian to black . Since the late 20th century , Virginia has officially recognized eight American Indian tribes and their members ; the tribes are trying to gain federal recognition . They have had difficulty because decades of birth , marriage , and death records were misclassified under Plecker 's application of the law . No one was classified as Indian , although many individuals and families identified that way and were preserving their cultures . In the case of mixed - race American Indian and European descendants , the one - drop rule in Virginia was extended only so far as those with more than one - sixteenth Indian blood . This was due to what was known as `` the Pocahontas exception '' . Since many influential First Families of Virginia ( FFV ) claimed descent from the American Indian Pocahontas and her husband John Rolfe of the colonial era , the Virginia General Assembly declared that an individual could be considered white if having no more than one - sixteenth Indian `` blood '' ( the equivalent of one great - great - grandparent ) . The eugenicist Madison Grant of New York wrote in his book , The Passing of the Great Race ( 1916 ) : `` The cross between a white man and an Indian is an Indian ; the cross between a white man and a Negro is a Negro ; the cross between a white man and a Hindu is a Hindu ; and the cross between any of the three European races and a Jew is a Jew . '' As noted above , Native American tribes such as the Omaha , which had patrilineal descent and inheritance , used hypodescent to classify the children of white men and Native American women as white . Plecker case ( edit ) Main article : Walter Plecker Through the 1940s , Walter Plecker of Virginia and Naomi Drake of Louisiana had an outsized influence . As the Registrar of Statistics , Plecker insisted on labeling mixed - race families of European - African ancestry as black . In 1924 , Plecker wrote , `` Two races as materially divergent as the White and Negro , in morals , mental powers , and cultural fitness , can not live in close contact without injury to the higher . '' In the 1930s and 1940s , Plecker directed offices under his authority to change vital records and reclassify certain families as black ( or colored ) ( without notifying them ) after Virginia established a binary system under its Racial Integrity Act of 1924 . He also classified people as black who had formerly self - identified as Indian . When the United States Supreme Court struck down Virginia 's law prohibiting inter-racial marriage in Loving v. Virginia ( 1967 ) , it also declared Plecker 's Virginia Racial Integrity Act and the one - drop rule unconstitutional . Many people in the U.S. , among various ethnic groups , continue to have their own concepts related to the one - drop idea . They may still consider those multiracial individuals with any African ancestry to be black , or at least non-white ( if the person has other minority ancestry ) , unless the person explicitly identifies as white . On the other hand , the Black Power Movement and some leaders within the black community also claimed as black those persons with any visible African ancestry , in order to extend their political base and regardless of how those people self - identified . In the late 20th and early 21st century , writers such as A.D. Powell , who is multiracial , consider such `` claiming '' to be another kind of one - drop rule , which ignores people 's life experiences , their community , and how they choose to identify themselves . The number of self - identified multi-racial people in the US is increasing . Other countries of the Americas ( edit ) Main article : Race and ethnicity in Latin America Rice and Powell ( on the left ) are considered black in the US , Bush and Rumsfeld ( on the right ) are considered white . Among the colonial slave societies , the United States was nearly unique in developing the one - drop rule ; it derived both from the Southern slave culture ( shared by other societies ) and the aftermath of the American Civil War , emancipation of slaves , and Reconstruction . In the late 19th century , Southern whites regained political power and restored white supremacy , passing Jim Crow laws and establishing racial segregation by law . In the 20th century , during the Black Power Movement , black race - based groups claimed all people of any African ancestry as black in a reverse way , to establish political power . In colonial Spanish America , many soldiers and explorers took indigenous women as wives . Native - born Spanish women were always a minority . The colonists developed an elaborate classification and caste system that identified the mixed - race descendants of blacks , Amerindians , and whites by different names , related to appearance and known ancestry . Racial caste not only depended on ancestry or skin color , but also could be raised or lowered by the person 's financial status or class . Lena Horne The same racial culture shock has come to hundreds of thousands of dark - skinned immigrants to the United States from Brazil , Colombia , Panama , and other Latin American nations . Although many are not considered black in their homelands , they have often been considered black in US society . According to the Washington Post , their refusal to accept the United States ' definition of black has left many feeling attacked from all directions . At times , white and black Americans might discriminate against them for their lighter or darker skin tones ; African Americans might believe that Afro - Latino immigrants are denying their blackness . At the same time , the immigrants think lighter - skinned Latinos dominate Spanish - language television and media . A majority of Latin Americans possess some African or American Indian ancestry . Many of these immigrants feel it is difficult enough to accept a new language and culture without the additional burden of having to transform from white to black . Yvette Modestin , a dark - skinned native of Panama who worked in Boston , said the situation was overwhelming : `` There 's not a day that I do n't have to explain myself . '' Professor J.B. Bird has said that Latin America is not alone in rejecting the historical US notion that any visible African ancestry is enough to make one black : In most countries of the Caribbean , Colin Powell would be described as a Creole , reflecting his mixed heritage . In Belize , he might further be described as a `` High Creole '' , because of his extremely light complexion . These examples show that the perception of race is relative to different societies and individuals . Brazil ( edit ) See also : Race in Brazil People in many other countries have tended to treat race less rigidly , both in their self - identification and how they regard others . Just as a person with physically recognizable African ancestry can claim to be black in the United States , someone with recognizable Caucasian ancestry may be considered white in Brazil , even if mixed race . In December 2002 , the Washington Post ran a story on the one - drop theory and differences in Latin American practices . In the reporter 's opinion : Someone with Sidney Poitier 's deep chocolate complexion would be considered white if his hair were straight and he made a living in a profession . That might not seem so odd , Brazilians say , when you consider that the fair - complexioned actresses Rashida Jones ( ' Parks and Recreation ' and ' The Office ' ) and Lena Horne are identified as black in the United States . According to Jose Neinstein , a native white Brazilian and executive director of the Brazilian - American Cultural Institute in Washington , in the United States , `` If you are not quite white , then you are black . '' However , in Brazil , `` If you are not quite black , then you are white . '' Neinstein recalls talking with a man of Poitier 's complexion when in Brazil : `` We were discussing ethnicity , and I asked him , ' What do you think about this from your perspective as a black man ? ' He turned his head to me and said , ' I 'm not black , ' ... It simply paralyzed me . I could n't ask another question . '' Puerto Rico ( edit ) During the Spanish colonial period , Puerto Rico had laws such as the Regla del Sacar or Gracias al Sacar , by which a person of black ancestry could be considered legally white so long as the individual could prove that at least one person per generation in the last four generations had also been legally white . Thus persons of black ancestry with known white lineage were classified as white , the opposite of the `` one - drop rule '' in the United States . Racial mixtures of blacks and whites in modern America ( edit ) Given the intense interest in ethnicity , genetic genealogists and other scientists have studied population groups . Henry Louis Gates , Jr. publicized such genetic studies on his two series African American Lives , shown on PBS , in which the ancestry of prominent figures was explored . His experts discussed the results of autosomal DNA tests , in contrast to direct - line testing , which survey all the DNA that has been inherited from the parents of an individual . Autosomal tests focus on SNPs . The specialists on Gates ' program summarized the make - up of the United States population by the following : 58 percent of African Americans have at least 12.5 % European ancestry ( equivalent of one great - grandparent ) ; 19.6 percent of African Americans have at least 25 % European ancestry ( equivalent of one grandparent ) ; 1 percent of African Americans have at least 50 % European ancestry ( equivalent of one parent ) ( Gates is one of these , he discovered , having a total of 51 % European ancestry among various distant ancestors ) ; and 5 percent of African Americans have at least 12.5 % Native American ancestry ( equivalent to one great - grandparent ) . In 2002 , Mark D. Shriver , a molecular anthropologist at Penn State University , published results of a study regarding the racial admixture of Americans who identified as white or black : Shriver surveyed a 3,000 - person sample from 25 locations in the United States and tested subjects for autosomal genetic make - up : Of those persons who identified as white : Individuals had an average 0.7 % black ancestry , which is the equivalent of having 1 black and 127 white ancestors among one 's 128 5 × great - grandparents Shriver estimates that 70 % of white Americans have no African ancestors ( in part because a high proportion of current whites are descended from more recent immigrants from Europe of the late 19th and early 20th centuries , rather than those early migrants to the colonies , who in some areas lived and worked closely with Africans , free , indentured or slave , and formed relations with them ) . Among the 30 % of identified whites who have African ancestry , Shriver estimates their black racial admixture is 2.3 % ; the equivalent of having had 3 black ancestors among their 128 5 × great - grandparents . Among those who identified as black : The average proportion of white ancestry was 18 % , the equivalent of having 22 white ancestors among their 128 5 × great - grandparents . About 10 % have more than 50 % white ancestry . Blacks in the United States are more racially mixed than whites , reflecting historical experience here , including the close living and working conditions among the small populations of the early colonies , when indentured servants , both black and white , and slaves , married or formed unions . Mixed - race children of white mothers were born free , and many families of free people of color were started in those years . 80 percent of the free African - American families in the Upper South in the censuses of 1790 to 1810 can be traced as descendants of unions between white women and African men in colonial Virginia , not of slave women and white men . In the early colony , conditions were loose among the working class , who lived and worked closely together . After the American Revolutionary War , their free mixed - race descendants migrated to the frontiers of nearby states along with other primarily European Virginia pioneers . The admixture also reflects later conditions under slavery , when white planters or their sons , or overseers , frequently raped African women . There were also freely chosen relationships among individuals of different or mixed races . Shriver 's 2002 survey found different current admixture rates by region , reflecting historic patterns of settlement and change , both in terms of populations who migrated and their descendants ' unions . For example , he found that the black populations with the highest percentage of white ancestry lived in California and Seattle , Washington . These were both majority - white destinations during the Great Migration of 1940 -- 1970 of African Americans from the Deep South of Louisiana , Texas and Mississippi . Blacks sampled in those two locations had more than 25 % white European ancestry on average . As noted by Troy Duster , direct - line testing of the Y - chromosome and mtDNA ( mitochondrial DNA ) fails to pick up the heritage of many other ancestors . DNA testing has limitations and should not be depended on by individuals to answer all questions about heritage . Duster said that neither Shriver 's research nor Gates ' PBS program adequately acknowledged the limitations of genetic testing . Similarly , the Indigenous Peoples Council on Biocolonialism ( IPCB ) notes that : `` Native American markers '' are not found solely among Native Americans . While they occur more frequently among Native Americans , they are also found in people in other parts of the world . Genetic testing has shown three major waves of ancient migration from Asia among Native Americans but can not distinguish further among most of the various tribes in the Americas . Some critics of testing believe that more markers will be identified as more Native Americans of various tribes are tested , as they believe that the early epidemics due to smallpox and other diseases may have altered genetic representation . Much effort has been made to discover the ways in which the one - drop rule continues to be socially perpetuated today . For example , in her interview of black / white adults in the South , Nikki Khanna uncovers that one way the one - drop rule is perpetuated is through the mechanism of reflected appraisal . Most respondents identified as black , explaining that this is because both black and white people see them as black as well . Allusions ( edit ) Charles W. Chesnutt , who was of mixed race and grew up in the North , wrote stories and novels about the issues of mixed - race people in southern society in the aftermath of the Civil War . The one - drop rule and its consequences have been the subject of numerous works of popular culture . The American musical Show Boat ( 1927 ) opens in 1887 on a Mississippi River boat , after the Reconstruction era and imposition of racial segregation and Jim Crow in the South . Steve , a white man married to a mixed - race woman who passes as white , is pursued by a Southern sheriff . He intends to arrest Steve and charge him with miscegenation for being married to a woman of partly black ancestry . Steve pricks his wife 's finger and swallows some of her blood . When the sheriff arrives , Steve asks him whether he would consider a man to be white if he had `` negro blood '' in him . The sheriff replies that `` one drop of Negro blood makes you a Negro in these parts '' . Steve tells the sheriff that he has `` more than a drop of negro blood in me '' . After being assured by others that Steve is telling the truth , the sheriff leaves without arresting Steve .

The party agrees on some proposed policies and programmes , with a view to promoting the collective good or furthering their supporters ' interests . While there is some international commonality in the way political parties are recognized , and in how they operate , there are often many differences , and some are significant . Many political parties have an ideological core , but some do not , and many represent ideologies very different from their ideology at the time the party was founded . Many countries , such as Germany and India , have several significant political parties , and some nations have one - party systems , such as China and Cuba . The United States is in practice a two - party system , but with many smaller parties also participating and a high degree of autonomy for individual candidates . Its two most important parties are the Democratic Party and the Republican Party . Currently , Bharatiya Janata Party from India is the world 's largest political party in terms of primary membership .

The Whigs supported Protestant constitutional monarchy against absolute rule ; the Tories , originating in the Royalist ( or `` Cavalier '' ) faction of the English Civil War , were conservative royalist supporters of a strong monarchy as a counterbalance to the republican tendencies of Whigs , who were the dominant political faction for most of the first half of the 18th century ; the Whigs supported the Hanoverian succession of 1715 against the Jacobite supporters of the deposed Roman Catholic Stuart dynasty , and were able to purge Tory politicians from important government positions after the failed Jacobite rising of 1715 . The leader of the Whigs was Robert Walpole , who maintained control of the government in the period 1721 -- 1742 ; his protégé was Henry Pelham ( 1743 -- 1754 ) . As the century wore on , the factions slowly began to adopt more coherent political tendencies as the interests of their power bases began to diverge . The Whig party 's initial base of support from the great aristocratic families widened to include the emerging industrial interests and wealthy merchants . As well as championing constitutional monarchy with strict limits on the monarch 's power , the Whigs adamantly opposed a Catholic king as a threat to liberty , and believed in extending toleration to nonconformist Protestants , or dissenters . A major influence on the Whigs were the liberal political ideas of John Locke , and the concepts of universal rights employed by Locke and Algernon Sidney . Although the Tories were out of office for half a century , for most of this period ( at first under the leadership of Sir William Wyndham ) the Tories retained party cohesion , with occasional hopes of regaining office , particularly at the accession of George II ( 1727 ) and the downfall of the ministry of Sir Robert Walpole in 1742 . They acted as a united , though unavailing , opposition to Whig corruption and scandals . At times they cooperated with the `` Opposition Whigs '' , Whigs who were in opposition to the Whig government ; however , the ideological gap between the Tories and the Opposition Whigs prevented them from coalescing as a single party . They finally regained power with the accession of George III in 1760 under Lord Bute . Emergence ( edit ) When they lost power , the old Whig leadership dissolved into a decade of factional chaos with distinct `` Grenvillite '' , `` Bedfordite '' , `` Rockinghamite '' , and `` Chathamite '' factions successively in power , and all referring to themselves as `` Whigs '' . Out of this chaos , the first distinctive parties emerged . The first such party was the Rockingham Whigs under the leadership of Charles Watson - Wentworth and the intellectual guidance of the political philosopher Edmund Burke . Burke laid out a philosophy that described the basic framework of the political party as `` a body of men united for promoting by their joint endeavours the national interest , upon some particular principle in which they are all agreed '' . As opposed to the instability of the earlier factions , which were often tied to a particular leader and could disintegrate if removed from power , the party was centred around a set of core principles and remained out of power as a united opposition to government . In A Block for the Wigs ( 1783 ) , James Gillray caricatured Fox 's return to power in a coalition with North . George III is the blockhead in the centre . A coalition including the Rockingham Whigs , led by the Earl of Shelburne , took power in 1782 , only to collapse after Rockingham 's death . The new government , led by the radical politician Charles James Fox in coalition with Lord North , was soon brought down and replaced by William Pitt the Younger in 1783 . It was now that a genuine two - party system began to emerge , with Pitt leading the new Tories against a reconstituted `` Whig '' party led by Fox . By the time of this split the Whig party was increasingly influenced by the ideas of Adam Smith , founder of classical liberalism . As Wilson and Reill ( 2004 ) note , `` Adam Smith 's theory melded nicely with the liberal political stance of the Whig Party and its middle - class constituents . '' The modern Conservative Party was created out of the ' Pittite ' Tories of the early 19th century . In the late 1820s disputes over political reform broke up this grouping . A government led by the Duke of Wellington collapsed amidst dire election results . Following this disaster Robert Peel set about assembling a new coalition of forces . Peel issued the Tamworth Manifesto in 1834 which set out the basic principles of Conservatism ; -- the necessity in specific cases of reform in order to survive , but an opposition to unnecessary change , that could lead to `` a perpetual vortex of agitation '' . Meanwhile , the Whigs , along with free trade Tory followers of Robert Peel , and independent Radicals , formed the Liberal Party under Lord Palmerston in 1859 , and transformed into a party of the growing urban middle - class , under the long leadership of William Ewart Gladstone . In United States ( edit ) Although the Founding Fathers of the United States did not originally intend for American politics to be partisan , early political controversies in the 1790s over the extent of federal government powers saw the emergence of two proto - political parties - the Federalist Party and the Democratic - Republican Party , which were championed by Framers Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson , respectively . However , a consensus reached on these issues ended party politics in 1816 for a decade , a period commonly known as the Era of Good Feelings . Party politics revived in 1829 with the split of the Democratic - Republican Party into the Jacksonian Democrats led by Andrew Jackson , and the Whig Party , led by Henry Clay . The former evolved into the modern Democratic Party and the latter was replaced with the Republican Party as one of the two main parties in the 1850s . Spread ( edit ) Charles Stewart Parnell , leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party The second half of the 19th century saw the adoption of the party model of politics across Europe . In Germany , France , Austria and elsewhere , the 1848 Revolutions sparked a wave of liberal sentiment and the formation of representative bodies and political parties . The end of the century saw the formation of large socialist parties in Europe , some conforming to the teaching of Karl Marx , others adapting social democracy through the use of reformist and gradualist methods . At the same time , the political party reached its modern form , with a membership disciplined through the use of a party whip and the implementation of efficient structures of control . The Home Rule League Party , campaigning for Home Rule for Ireland in the British Parliament was fundamentally changed by the great Irish political leader Charles Stewart Parnell in the 1880s . In 1882 , he changed his party 's name to the Irish Parliamentary Party and created a well - organized grass roots structure , introducing membership to replace `` ad hoc '' informal groupings . He created a new selection procedure to ensure the professional selection of party candidates committed to taking their seats , and in 1884 he imposed a firm ' party pledge ' which obliged MPs to vote as a bloc in parliament on all occasions . The creation of a strict party whip and a formal party structure was unique at the time . His party 's efficient structure and control contrasted with the loose rules and flexible informality found in the main British parties ; they soon came to model themselves on the Parnellite model . Structure ( edit ) A political party is typically led by a party leader ( the most powerful member and spokesperson representing the party ) , a party secretary ( who maintains the daily work and records of party meetings ) , party treasurer ( who is responsible for membership dues ) and party chair ( who forms strategies for recruiting and retaining party members , and also chairs party meetings ) . Most of the above positions are also members of the party executive , the leading organization which sets policy for the entire party at the national level . The structure is far more decentralized in the United States because of the separation of powers , federalism and the multiplicity of economic interests and religious sects . Even state parties are decentralized as county and other local committees are largely independent of state central committees . The national party leader in the U.S. will be the president , if the party holds that office , or a prominent member of Congress in opposition ( although a big - state governor may aspire to that role ) . Officially , each party has a chairman for its national committee who is a prominent spokesman , organizer and fund - raiser , but without the status of prominent elected office holders . In parliamentary democracies , on a regular , periodic basis , party conferences are held to elect party officers , although snap leadership elections can be called if enough members opt for such . Party conferences are also held in order to affirm party values for members in the coming year . American parties also meet regularly and , again , are more subordinate to elected political leaders . Depending on the demographic spread of the party membership , party members form local or regional party committees in order to help candidates run for local or regional offices in government . These local party branches reflect the officer positions at the national level . It is also customary for political party members to form wings for current or prospective party members , most of which fall into the following two categories : identity - based : including youth wings , women 's wings , ethnic minority wings , LGBT wings , etc . position - based : including wings for candidates , mayors , governors , professionals , students , etc . The formation of these wings may have become routine but their existence is more of an indication of differences of opinion , intra-party rivalry , the influence of interest groups , or attempts to wield influence for one 's state or region . These are useful for party outreach , training and employment . Many young aspiring politicians seek these roles and jobs as stepping stones to their political careers in legislative or executive offices . The internal structure of political parties has to be democratic in some countries . In Germany Art . 21 Abs. 1 Satz 3 GG establishes a command of inner - party democracy . Parliamentary parties ( edit ) When the party is represented by members in the lower house of parliament , the party leader simultaneously serves as the leader of the parliamentary group of that full party representation ; depending on a minimum number of seats held , Westminster - based parties typically allow for leaders to form frontbench teams of senior fellow members of the parliamentary group to serve as critics of aspects of government policy . When a party becomes the largest party not part of the Government , the party 's parliamentary group forms the Official Opposition , with Official Opposition frontbench team members often forming the Official Opposition Shadow cabinet . When a party achieves enough seats in an election to form a majority , the party 's frontbench becomes the Cabinet of government ministers . They are all elected members . Regulation ( edit ) The freedom to form , declare membership in , or campaign for candidates from a political party is considered a measurement of a state 's adherence to liberal democracy as a political value . Regulation of parties may run from a crackdown on or repression of all opposition parties , a norm for authoritarian governments , to the repression of certain parties which hold or promote ideals which run counter to the general ideology of the state 's incumbents ( or possess membership by - laws which are legally unenforceable ) . Furthermore , in the case of far - right , far - left and regionalism parties in the national parliaments of much of the European Union , mainstream political parties may form an informal cordon sanitaire which applies a policy of non-cooperation towards those `` Outsider Parties '' present in the legislature which are viewed as ' anti-system ' or otherwise unacceptable for government . Cordons sanitaire , however , have been increasingly abandoned over the past two decades in multi-party democracies as the pressure to construct broad coalitions in order to win elections -- along with the increased willingness of outsider parties themselves to participate in government -- has led to many such parties entering electoral and government coalitions . Starting in the second half of the 20th century , modern democracies have introduced rules for the flow of funds through party coffers , e.g. the Canada Election Act 1976 , the PPRA in the U.K. or the FECA in the U.S. Such political finance regimes stipulate a variety of regulations for the transparency of fundraising and expenditure , limit or ban specific kinds of activity and provide public subsidies for party activity , including campaigning . Partisan style ( edit ) Partisan style varies according to each jurisdiction , depending on how many parties there are , and how much influence each individual party has . Nonpartisan systems ( edit ) In a nonpartisan system , no official political parties exist , sometimes reflecting legal restrictions on political parties . In nonpartisan elections , each candidate is eligible for office on his or her own merits . In nonpartisan legislatures , there are no typically formal party alignments within the legislature . The administration of George Washington and the first few sessions of the United States Congress were nonpartisan . Washington also warned against political parties during his Farewell Address . In the United States , the unicameral legislature of Nebraska is nonpartisan but is elected and often votes on informal party lines . In Canada , the territorial legislatures of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut are nonpartisan . In New Zealand , Tokelau has a nonpartisan parliament . Many city and county governments in the United States and Canada are nonpartisan . Nonpartisan elections and modes of governance are common outside of state institutions . Unless there are legal prohibitions against political parties , factions within nonpartisan systems often evolve into political parties . Uni-party systems ( edit ) In one - party systems , one political party is legally allowed to hold effective power . Although minor parties may sometimes be allowed , they are legally required to accept the leadership of the dominant party . This party may not always be identical to the government , although sometimes positions within the party may in fact be more important than positions within the government . North Korea and China are examples ; others can be found in Fascist states , such as Nazi Germany between 1934 and 1945 . The one - party system is thus often equated with dictatorships and tyranny . In dominant - party systems , opposition parties are allowed , and there may be even a deeply established democratic tradition , but other parties are widely considered to have no real chance of gaining power . Sometimes , political , social and economic circumstances , and public opinion are the reason for others parties ' failure . Sometimes , typically in countries with less of an established democratic tradition , it is possible the dominant party will remain in power by using patronage and sometimes by voting fraud . In the latter case , the definition between dominant and one - party system becomes rather blurred . Examples of dominant party systems include the People 's Action Party in Singapore , the African National Congress in South Africa , the Cambodian People 's Party in Cambodia , the Liberal Democratic Party in Japan , and the National Liberation Front in Algeria . One - party dominant system also existed in Mexico with the Institutional Revolutionary Party until the 1990s , in the southern United States with the Democratic Party from the late 19th century until the 1970s , in Indonesia with the Golkar from the early 1970s until 1998 . Bi-party systems ( edit ) Two - party systems are states such as Honduras , Jamaica , Malta , Ghana and the United States in which there are two political parties dominant to such an extent that electoral success under the banner of any other party is almost impossible . One right wing coalition party and one left wing coalition party is the most common ideological breakdown in such a system but in two - party states political parties are traditionally catch all parties which are ideologically broad and inclusive . The United States has become essentially a two - party system , since a conservative ( such as the Republican Party ) and liberal ( such as the Democratic Party ) party has usually been the status quo within American politics . The first parties were called Federalist and Republican , followed by a brief period of Republican dominance before a split occurred between National Republicans and Democratic Republicans . The former became the Whig Party and the latter became the Democratic Party . The Whigs survived only for two decades before they split over the spread of slavery , those opposed becoming members of the new Republican Party , as did anti-slavery members of the Democratic Party . Third parties ( such as the Libertarian Party ) often receive little support and are very rarely the victors in elections . Despite this , there have been several examples of third parties siphoning votes from major parties that were expected to win ( such as Theodore Roosevelt in the election of 1912 and George Wallace in the election of 1968 ) . As third party movements have learned , the Electoral College 's requirement of a nationally distributed majority makes it difficult for third parties to succeed . Thus , such parties rarely win many electoral votes , although their popular support within a state may tip it toward one party or the other . Wallace had weak support outside the South . More generally , parties with a broad base of support across regions or among economic and other interest groups , have a great chance of winning the necessary plurality in the U.S. 's largely single - member district , winner - take - all elections . The tremendous land area and large population of the country are formidable challenges to political parties with a narrow appeal . The UK political system , while technically a multi-party system , has functioned generally as a two - party ( sometimes called a `` two - and - a-half party '' ) system ; since the 1920s the two largest political parties have been the Conservative Party and the Labour Party . Before the Labour Party rose in British politics the Liberal Party was the other major political party along with the Conservatives . Though coalition and minority governments have been an occasional feature of parliamentary politics , the first - past - the - post electoral system used for general elections tends to maintain the dominance of these two parties , though each has in the past century relied upon a third party to deliver a working majority in Parliament . ( A plurality voting system usually leads to a two - party system , a relationship described by Maurice Duverger and known as Duverger 's Law . ) There are also numerous other parties that hold or have held a number of seats in Parliament . Multi-party systems ( edit ) A poster for the European Parliament election 2004 in Italy , showing party lists Multi-party systems are systems in which more than two parties are represented and elected to public office . Australia , Canada , Nepal , Pakistan , India , Ireland , United Kingdom and Norway are examples of countries with two strong parties and additional smaller parties that have also obtained representation . The smaller or `` third '' parties may hold the balance of power in a parliamentary system , and thus may be invited to form a part of a coalition government together with one of the larger parties , or may provide a supply and confidence agreement to the government ; or may instead act independently from the dominant parties . More commonly , in cases where there are three or more parties , no one party is likely to gain power alone , and parties have to work with each other to form coalition governments . This is almost always the case in Germany on national and state level , and in most constituencies at the communal level . Furthermore , since the forming of the Republic of Iceland there has never been a government not led by a coalition , usually involving the Independence Party or the Progressive Party . A similar situation exists in the Republic of Ireland , where no one party has held power on its own since 1989 . Since then , numerous coalition governments have been formed . These coalitions have been led exclusively by either Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael . Political change is often easier with a coalition government than in one - party or two - party dominant systems . If factions in a two - party system are in fundamental disagreement on policy goals , or even principles , they can be slow to make policy changes , which appears to be the case now in the U.S. with power split between Democrats and Republicans . Still coalition governments struggle , sometimes for years , to change policy and often fail altogether , post World War II France and Italy being prime examples . When one party in a two - party system controls all elective branches , however , policy changes can be both swift and significant . Democrats Woodrow Wilson , Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson were beneficiaries of such fortuitous circumstances , as were Republicans as far removed in time as Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan . Barack Obama briefly had such an advantage between 2009 and 2011 . As of 2017 , President Donald Trump currently enjoys Republican control of both the house and senate . Funding ( edit ) Main articles : Political party funding and Political finance Political parties are funded by contributions from party members and other individuals , organizations , which share their political ideas ( e.g. trade union affiliation fees ) or which could benefit from their activities ( e.g. corporate donations ) or governmental or public funding . Political parties , still called factions by some , especially those in the governmental apparatus , are lobbied vigorously by organizations , businesses and special interest groups such as trade unions . Money and gifts - in - kind to a party , or its leading members , may be offered as incentives . Such donations are the traditional source of funding for all right - of - centre cadre parties . Starting in the late 19th century these parties were opposed by the newly founded left - of - centre workers ' parties . They started a new party type , the mass membership party , and a new source of political fundraising , membership dues . From the second half of the 20th century on parties which continued to rely on donations or membership subscriptions ran into mounting problems . Along with the increased scrutiny of donations there has been a long - term decline in party memberships in most western democracies which itself places more strains on funding . For example , in the United Kingdom and Australia membership of the two main parties in 2006 is less than an 1 / 8 of what it was in 1950 , despite significant increases in population over that period . In some parties , such as the post-communist parties of France and Italy or the Sinn Féin party and the Socialist Party , elected representatives ( i.e. incumbents ) take only the average industrial wage from their salary as a representative , while the rest goes into party coffers . Although these examples may be rare nowadays , `` rent - seeking '' continues to be a feature of many political parties around the world . In the United Kingdom , it has been alleged that peerages have been awarded to contributors to party funds , the benefactors becoming members of the House of Lords and thus being in a position to participate in legislating . Famously , Lloyd George was found to have been selling peerages . To prevent such corruption in the future , Parliament passed the Honours ( Prevention of Abuses ) Act 1925 into law . Thus the outright sale of peerages and similar honours became a criminal act . However , some benefactors are alleged to have attempted to circumvent this by cloaking their contributions as loans , giving rise to the ' Cash for Peerages ' scandal . Such activities as well as assumed `` influence peddling '' have given rise to demands that the scale of donations should be capped . As the costs of electioneering escalate , so the demands made on party funds increase . In the UK some politicians are advocating that parties should be funded by the state ; a proposition that promises to give rise to interesting debate in a country that was the first to regulate campaign expenses ( in 1883 ) . In many other democracies such subsidies for party activity ( in general or just for campaign purposes ) have been introduced decades ago . Public financing for parties and / or candidates ( during election times and beyond ) has several permutations and is increasingly common . Germany , Sweden , Israel , Canada , Australia , Austria and Spain are cases in point . More recently among others France , Japan , Mexico , the Netherlands and Poland have followed suit . There are two broad categories of public funding , direct , which entails a monetary transfer to a party , and indirect , which includes broadcasting time on state media , use of the mail service or supplies . According to the Comparative Data from the ACE Electoral Knowledge Network , out of a sample of over 180 nations , 25 % of nations provide no direct or indirect public funding , 58 % provide direct public funding and 60 % of nations provide indirect public funding . Some countries provide both direct and indirect public funding to political parties . Funding may be equal for all parties or depend on the results of previous elections or the number of candidates participating in an election . Frequently parties rely on a mix of private and public funding and are required to disclose their finances to the Election management body . In fledgling democracies funding can also be provided by foreign aid . International donors provide financing to political parties in developing countries as a means to promote democracy and good governance . Support can be purely financial or otherwise . Frequently it is provided as capacity development activities including the development of party manifestos , party constitutions and campaigning skills . Developing links between ideologically linked parties is another common feature of international support for a party . Sometimes this can be perceived as directly supporting the political aims of a political party , such as the support of the US government to the Georgian party behind the Rose Revolution . Other donors work on a more neutral basis , where multiple donors provide grants in countries accessible by all parties for various aims defined by the recipients . There have been calls by leading development think - tanks , such as the Overseas Development Institute , to increase support to political parties as part of developing the capacity to deal with the demands of interest - driven donors to improve governance . Colors and emblems ( edit ) Main articles : Political colour and List of political party symbols Generally speaking , over the world , political parties associate themselves with colors , primarily for identification , especially for voter recognition during elections . Conservative parties generally use blue or black . Pink sometimes signifies moderate socialist . Yellow is often used for libertarianism or classical liberalism . Red often signifies social democratic , socialist or communist parties . Green is the color for green parties , Islamist parties , Nordic agrarian parties and Irish republican parties . Orange is sometimes a color of nationalism , such as in the Netherlands , in Israel with the Orange Camp or with Ulster Loyalists in Northern Ireland ; it is also a color of reform such as in Ukraine . In the past , Purple was considered the color of royalty ( like white ) , but today it is sometimes used for feminist parties . White also is associated with nationalism . `` Purple Party '' is also used as an academic hypothetical of an undefined party , as a Centrist party in the United States ( because purple is created from mixing the main parties ' colors of red and blue ) and as a highly idealistic `` peace and love '' party -- in a similar vein to a Green Party , perhaps . Black is generally associated with fascist parties , going back to Benito Mussolini 's blackshirts , but also with Anarchism . Similarly , brown is sometimes associated with Nazism , going back to the Nazi Party 's tan - uniformed storm troopers . Color associations are useful for mnemonics when voter illiteracy is significant . Another case where they are used is when it is not desirable to make rigorous links to parties , particularly when coalitions and alliances are formed between political parties and other organizations , for example : Red Tory , `` Purple '' ( Red - Blue ) alliances , Red - green alliances , Blue - green alliances , Traffic light coalitions , Pan-green coalitions , and Pan-blue coalitions . Political color schemes in the United States diverge from international norms . Since 2000 , red has become associated with the right - wing Republican Party and blue with the left - wing Democratic Party . However , unlike political color schemes of other countries , the parties did not choose those colors ; they were used in news coverage of 2000 election results and ensuing legal battle and caught on in popular usage . Prior to the 2000 election the media typically alternated which color represented which party each presidential election cycle . The color scheme happened to get inordinate attention that year , so the cycle was stopped lest it cause confusion the following election . The emblem of socialist parties is often a red rose held in a fist . Communist parties often use a hammer to represent the worker , a sickle to represent the farmer , or both a hammer and a sickle to refer to both at the same time . The emblem of Nazism , the swastika or `` hakenkreuz '' , has been adopted as a near - universal symbol for almost any organized white supremacist group , even though it dates from more ancient times . Symbols can be very important when the overall electorate is illiterate . In the Kenyan constitutional referendum , 2005 , supporters of the constitution used the banana as their symbol , while the `` no '' used an orange . International organization ( edit ) During the 19th and 20th century , many national political parties organized themselves into international organizations along similar policy lines . Notable examples are The Universal Party , International Workingmen 's Association ( also called the First International ) , the Socialist International ( also called the Second International ) , the Communist International ( also called the Third International ) , and the Fourth International , as organizations of working class parties , or the Liberal International ( yellow ) , Hizb ut - Tahrir , Christian Democratic International and the International Democrat Union ( blue ) . Organized in Italy in 1945 , the International Communist Party , since 1974 headquartered in Florence has sections in six countries . Worldwide green parties have recently established the Global Greens . The Universal Party , The Socialist International , the Liberal International , and the International Democrat Union are all based in London . Some administrations ( e.g. Hong Kong ) outlaw formal linkages between local and foreign political organizations , effectively outlawing international political parties . Types ( edit ) French political scientist Maurice Duverger drew a distinction between cadre parties and mass parties . Cadre parties were political elites that were concerned with contesting elections and restricted the influence of outsiders , who were only required to assist in election campaigns . Mass parties tried to recruit new members who were a source of party income and were often expected to spread party ideology as well as assist in elections . Socialist parties are examples of mass parties , while the British Conservative Party and the German Christian Democratic Union are examples of hybrid parties . In the United States , where both major parties were cadre parties , the introduction of primaries and other reforms has transformed them so that power is held by activists who compete over influence and nomination of candidates . Klaus von Beyme categorized European parties into nine families , which described most parties . He was able to arrange seven of them from left to right : communist , socialist , green , liberal , Christian democratic , conservative and libertarian . The position of two other types , agrarian and regional / ethnic parties varied .

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( February 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The Mediterranean in ca . the 6th century BC - Phoenician cities are labelled in yellow , Greek cities in red , and other cities in grey . Colonies in antiquity were city - states founded from a mother - city ( its `` metropolis '' ) , not from a territory - at - large . Bonds between a colony and its metropolis remained often close , and took specific forms . However , unlike in the period of European colonialism during the early and late modern era , ancient colonies were usually sovereign and self - governing from their inception . Contents ( hide ) 1 Egyptian colony 2 Phoenician colonies 3 Greek colonies 3.1 Relations of colony and metropolis 4 Roman colonies 5 See also 6 Notes 7 Further reading 8 External links Egyptian colony ( edit ) An Egyptian colony that was stationed in southern Canaan dates to slightly before the First Dynasty . Narmer had Egyptian pottery produced in Canaan and exported back to Egypt , from regions such as Arad , En Besor , Rafiah , and Tel ʿErani . Shipbuilding was known to the ancient Egyptians as early as 3000 BC , and perhaps earlier . The Archaeological Institute of America reports that the earliest dated ship -- dating to 3000 BC -- may have possibly belonged to Pharaoh Aha . Egypt at its height controlled Crete across the Mediterranean Sea . Phoenician colonies ( edit ) See also : Phoenicia § Important_cities_and_colonies The Phoenicians were the major trading power in the Mediterranean in the early part of the first millennium BC . They had trading contacts in Egypt and Greece , and established colonies as far west as modern Spain , at Gadir ( modern Cádiz ) . From Gadir the Phoenicians controlled access to the Atlantic Ocean and the trade routes to Britain . The most famous and successful of Phoenician colonies was founded by settlers from Tyre in 814 -- 813 BC and called Kart - Hadasht ( Qart - ḥadašt , literally `` New Town '' , known to history as Carthage . The Carthaginians later founded their own colony in the southeast of Spain , Carthago Nova , which was eventually conquered by their enemy , Rome . According to María Eugenia Aubet , Professor of Archaeology at the Pompeu Fabra University , Barcelona : `` The earliest presence of Phoenician material in the West is documented within the precinct of the ancient city of Huelva , Spain ... The high proportion of Phoenician pottery among the new material found in 1997 in the Plaza de las Monjas in Huelva argues in favor of a regular presence of Phoenician people from the start of the 9th century BC . The recent radiocarbon dates from the earliest levels in Carthage situate the founding of this Tyrian colony in the years 835 -- 800 cal BC , which coincides with the dates handed down by Flavius Josephus and Timeus for the founding of the city . '' Greek colonies ( edit ) Main articles : First Greek colonisation and Second Greek colonisation See also : Greeks in pre-Roman Gaul , Emporion , Magna Graecia , Greeks in pre-Roman Crimea , and Pontic Greeks Map of Phoenician ( red ) and Greek colonies ( blue ) at about 550 BC Ruins of a peristyle home from the Greek period of Empúries , Catalonia , Spain In Ancient Greece , colonies were sometimes founded by vanquished people , who left their homes to escape subjection at the hand of a foreign enemy ; sometimes as a sequel to civil disorders , when the losers in internecine battles left to form a new city elsewhere ; sometimes to get rid of surplus population , and thereby to avoid internal convulsions ; and sometimes as a result of ostracism . But in most cases the motivation was to establish and facilitate relations of trade with foreign countries and further the wealth of the mother - city ( in Greek metropolis ) . Colonies were established in Ionia and Thrace as early as the 8th century BC . More than thirty Greek city - states had multiple colonies around the Mediterranean world , with the most active being Miletus , of the Ionian League , with ninety colonies stretching throughout the Mediterranean Sea , from the shores of the Black Sea and Anatolia ( modern Turkey ) in the east , to the southern coast of the Iberian Peninsula in the west , as well as several colonies on the Libyan coast of northern Africa , from the late 9th to the 5th centuries BC . There were two similar types of colony , one known as an ἀποικία - apoikia ( pl. : ἀποικίαι , apoikiai ) and the other as an ἐμπόριov - emporion ( pl. : ἐμπόρια , emporia ) . The first type of colony was a city - state on its own ; the second was a Greek trading - colony . The Greek city - states began establishing colonies around 900 - 800 BC , at first at Al Mina on the coast of Syria and the Greek emporium Pithekoussai at Ischia in the Bay of Naples , both established about 800 BC by Euboeans . Ancient Greek colonies of the Black Sea , 8th - 3rd century BC Two waves of new colonists set out from Greece at the transition between the `` Dark Ages '' and the start of the Archaic Period , one in the early 8th century BC and a second burst of the colonizing spirit in the 6th century . Population growth and cramped spaces at home seem an insufficient explanation , while the economical and political dynamics produced by the competitive spirit between the frequently kingless , newly introduced concept of the Greek city - states , striving to expand their sphere of economical influence better fits as their true incentive . Through this Greek expansion the use of coins flourished throughout the Mediterranean Basin . Influential Greek colonies in the western Mediterranean -- many of them in today 's Italy -- included Cyme , Rhegium ( Rhegion ) by Chalcis and Zankle ( c. 8th century ) , Syracuse by Corinth / Tenea ( c. 734 BC ) , Naxos by Chalcis ( c. 734 BC ) , Massalia ( the later Marseille , France , c. 598 BC ) and Agathe ( shortly after Massalia ) by Phokaia , Elea ( Italy ) and Emporion ( nowadays Spain ) by Phokaia / Massalia ( c. 540 BC and early 6th century ) , Antipolis ( nowadays France ) by Achaea , Alalia ( Corsica ) by Phokaia / Massalia ( c. 545 BC ) and Cyrene ( Cyrenaica , nowadays Libya ) by Thera ( 762 / 61 and 632 / 31 BC ) . The Greeks also colonised modern - day Crimea on the Black Sea . Among the settlements they established there was the city of Chersonesos , at the site of modern - day Sevastopol . Another area with significant Greek colonies was the coast of ancient Illyria on the Adriatic Sea ( e.g. the ancient `` Aspalathos '' , modern day Split , Croatia ) . The Iberian peninsula in 300 BC . Phoenician cities in blue , Greek cities in red . The extensive Greek colonization is remarked upon by Cicero when noting that `` It were as though a Greek fringe has been woven about the shores of the barbarians . '' Several formulae were generally adhered to on the solemn and sacred occasions when a new colony set forth . If a Greek city was sending out a colony , an oracle , especially one such as the Oracle of Delphi , was almost invariably consulted beforehand . Sometimes certain classes of citizens were called upon to take part in the enterprises ; sometimes one son was chosen by lot from every house where there were several sons ; and strangers expressing a desire to join were admitted . A person of distinction was selected to guide the emigrants and make the necessary arrangements . It was usual to honor these founders of colonies , after their death , as heroes . Some of the sacred fire was taken from the public hearth in the Prytaneum , from which the fire on the public hearth of the new city was kindled . And , just as each individual had his private shrines , so the new community maintained the worship of its chief domestic deities , the colony sending embassies and votive gifts to the mother - city 's principal festivals for centuries afterwards . After the conquests of the Macedonian Kingdom and Alexander the Great , a further number of Hellenistic colonies were founded also in Asia , Europe and Africa . Relations of colony and metropolis ( edit ) The relation between colony and mother - city , known literally as the metropolis , was viewed as one of mutual affection . Any differences that arose were resolved by peaceful means whenever possible , war being deemed excusable only in cases of extreme necessity . It is worth noting that the Peloponnesian War was in part a result of a dispute between Corinth and her colony of Corcyra ( Corfu ) . The charter of foundation contained general provisions for the arrangement of the affairs of the colony , and also some special enactments . The constitution of the mother - city was usually adopted by the colony , but the new city remained politically independent . The `` holy fire '' of the metropolis was preserved in a special place to remind people of the common ties . If the colony sent out a fresh colony on its own account , the mother - city was generally consulted , or was at least requested to furnish a leader . Frequently the colonies declaring their commitment to the various metropolitic alliances formed in the Greek mainland and for religious reasons would pay tribute in religious centres , like Delphi , Olympia or Delos . The cleruchs ( κληροῦχοι , klêrouchoi ) formed a special class of Greek colonists , each being assigned an individual plot of land ( κλῆρος , klêros ) in the place to which they had been assigned . The trade factories set up in foreign countries , such as Egypt , were somewhat different from the ordinary colonies , the members retaining the right of domicile in their own fatherland and confining themselves to their own quarter in the foreign city . Roman colonies ( edit ) Main article : Colonia ( Roman ) Map showing roman colonies . Augustus ' `` roman coloniae '' in north Africa are depicted in red . It was an old custom in ancient Italy to send out colonies for the purpose of securing new conquests . The Romans , having no standing army , used to plant bodies of their own citizens in conquered towns as a kind of garrison . These bodies would consist partly of Roman citizens , usually to the number of three hundred ; partly of members of the Latin League , in larger numbers . The third part of the conquered territory was handed over to the settlers . The coloniae civium Romanorum ( colonies of Roman citizens ) were specially intended to secure the two seacoasts of Italy , and were hence called coloniae maritimae . The coloniae Latinae , of which there was a far greater number , served the same purpose for the mainland . The duty of leading the colonists and founding the settlement was entrusted to a commission usually consisting of three members . These men continued to stand in the relation of patrons ( patroni ) to the colony after its foundation . The colonists entered the conquered city in military array , preceded by banners , and the foundation was celebrated with special solemnities . The coloniae were free from taxes , and had their own constitution , a copy of the Roman , electing from their own body their Senate and other officers of State . To this constitution the original inhabitants had to submit . The coloniae civium Romanorum retained Roman citizenship , and were free from military service , their position as outposts being regarded as an equivalent . The members of the coloniae Latinae served among the socii , the allies , and possessed the so - called ius Latinum or Latinitas . This secured to them the right of acquiring property , the concept of commercium , and the right of settlement in Rome , and under certain conditions the power of becoming Roman citizens ; though in course of time these rights underwent many limitations . From the time of the Gracchi the colonies lost their military character . Colonization came to be regarded as a means of providing for the poorest class of the Roman Plebs . After the time of Sulla it was adopted as a way of granting land to veteran soldiers . The right of founding colonies was taken away from the people by Julius Caesar , and passed into the hands of the Roman emperors , who used it mainly in the provinces for the exclusive purpose of establishing military settlements , partly with the old idea of securing conquered territory . It was only in exceptional cases that the provincial colonies enjoyed the immunity from taxation which was granted to those in Italy .

Part of a series on European colonization of the Americas First wave of European colonization British Couronian Danish Dutch French German Hospitaller ( Maltese ) Norse Portuguese Russian Scottish Spanish Swedish Colonization of Canada Colonization of the United States Decolonization Colonialism portal The European colonization of the Americas describes the history of the settlement and establishment of control of the continents of the Americas by most of the naval powers of Europe . Political map of the Americas in 1794 Spanish conquistador style armour Systematic European colonization began in 1492 , when a Spanish expedition headed by the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus sailed west to find a new trade route to the Far East but inadvertently landed in what came to be known to Europeans as the `` New World '' . Running aground on the northern part of Hispaniola on 5 December 1492 , which the Taino people had inhabited since the 7th century , the site became the first European settlement in the Americas . European conquest , large - scale exploration and colonization soon followed . Columbus 's first two voyages ( 1492 -- 93 ) reached the Bahamas and various Caribbean islands , including Hispaniola , Puerto Rico and Cuba . In 1498 , John Cabot , on behalf of England , landed on the North American coast , and a year later , Columbus 's third voyage reached the South American coast . As the sponsor of Christopher Columbus 's voyages , Spain was the first European power to settle and colonize the largest areas , from North America and the Caribbean to the southern tip of South America . The Spanish began building up their American empire in the Caribbean , using islands such as Cuba , Puerto Rico , and Hispaniola as bases . The North and South American mainland fell to the conquistadors . Florida fell to Juan Ponce de León after 1513 . From 1519 to 1521 , Hernán Cortés waged a brutal campaign against the Aztecs , ruled by Moctezuma II . The Aztec capital , Tenochtitlan , became Mexico City , the chief city of what the Spanish were now calling `` New Spain . '' Later , the areas that are today California , Arizona , New Mexico , Colorado , Texas , Missouri , Louisiana , and Alabama were taken over by other conquistadors , such as Hernando de Soto , Francisco Vázquez de Coronado , and Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca . Farther to the south , Francisco Pizarro destroyed the Inca Empire during the 1530s . Other powers such as France also founded colonies in the Americas : in eastern North America , a number of Caribbean islands and small coastal parts of South America . Portugal colonized Brazil , tried colonizing the eastern coasts of present - day Canada and settled for extended periods northwest ( on the east bank ) of the River Plate . The Age of Exploration was the beginning of territorial expansion for several European countries . Europe had been preoccupied with internal wars and was slowly recovering from the loss of population caused by the Black Death ; thus the rapid rate at which it grew in wealth and power was unforeseeable in the early 15th century . Eventually , most of the Western Hemisphere came under the control of European governments , leading to changes to its landscape , population , and plant and animal life . In the 19th century over 50 million people left Europe for the Americas . The post-1492 era is known as the period of the Columbian Exchange , a dramatically widespread exchange of animals , plants , culture , human populations ( including slaves ) , ideas and communicable disease between the American and Afro - Eurasian hemispheres following Columbus 's voyages to the Americas .

Norse journeys to Greenland and Canada are supported by historical and archaeological evidence . A Norse colony in Greenland was established in the late 10th century , and lasted until the mid 15th century , with court and parliament assemblies ( þing ) taking place at Brattahlíð and a bishop located at Garðar . The remains of a Norse settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland , Canada , were discovered in 1960 and were dated to around the year 1000 ( carbon dating estimate 990 -- 1050 CE ) . L'Anse aux Meadows is the only site widely accepted as evidence of pre-Columbian trans - oceanic contact . It was named a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1978 . It is also notable for its possible connection with the attempted colony of Vinland , established by Leif Erikson around the same period or , more broadly , with the West Norse colonization of the Americas . Early conquests , claims and colonies ( edit ) Territorial evolution of North America of non-native nation states from 1750 to 2008 Central America & Caribbean sovereignty 1700 -- present Early explorations and conquests were made by the Spanish and the Portuguese immediately following their own final reconquest of Iberia in 1492 . In the 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas , ratified by the Pope , these two kingdoms divided the entire non-European world into two areas of exploration and colonization , with a north to south boundary that cut through the Atlantic Ocean and the eastern part of present - day Brazil . Based on this treaty and on early claims by Spanish explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa , discoverer of the Pacific Ocean in 1513 , the Spanish conquered large territories in North , Central and South America . Amerigo Vespucci awakens `` America '' in a Stradanus 's engraving ( circa 1638 ) Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés took over the Aztec Kingdom and Francisco Pizarro conquered the Inca Empire . As a result , by the mid-16th century , the Spanish Crown had gained control of much of western South America , Central America and southern North America , in addition to its earlier Caribbean territories . Over this same timeframe , Portugal claimed lands in North America ( Canada ) and colonized much of eastern South America , naming it Santa Cruz and Brazil . Other European nations soon disputed the terms of the Treaty of Tordesillas . England and France attempted to plant colonies in the Americas in the 16th century , but these failed . England and France succeeded in establishing permanent colonies in the following century , along with the Dutch Republic . Some of these were on Caribbean islands , which had often already been conquered by the Spanish or depopulated by disease , while others were in eastern North America , which had not been colonized by Spain north of Florida . Early European possessions in North America included Spanish Florida , Spanish New Mexico , the English colonies of Virginia ( with its North Atlantic offshoot , Bermuda ) and New England , the French colonies of Acadia and Canada , the Swedish colony of New Sweden , and the Dutch New Netherland . In the 18th century , Denmark -- Norway revived its former colonies in Greenland , while the Russian Empire gained a foothold in Alaska . Denmark - Norway would later make several claims in the Caribbean , starting in the 1600s . As more nations gained an interest in the colonization of the Americas , competition for territory became increasingly fierce . Colonists often faced the threat of attacks from neighboring colonies , as well as from indigenous tribes and pirates . Early state - sponsored colonists ( edit ) Juan Ponce de León ( Santervás de Campos , Valladolid , Spain ) Further information : Portugal in the Age of Discovery , Spanish colonization of the Americas , and First European colonization wave ( 15th century -- 19th century ) The first phase of well - financed European activity in the Americas began with the Atlantic Ocean crossings of Christopher Columbus ( 1492 -- 1504 ) , sponsored by Spain , whose original attempt was to find a new route to India and China , known as `` the Indies '' . He was followed by other explorers such as John Cabot , who was sponsored by England and reached Newfoundland . Pedro Álvares Cabral reached Brazil and claimed it for Portugal . Amerigo Vespucci , working for Portugal in voyages from 1497 to 1513 , established that Columbus had reached a new set of continents . Cartographers still use a Latinized version of his first name , America , for the two continents . Other explorers included Giovanni da Verrazzano , sponsored by France in 1524 ; the Portuguese João Vaz Corte - Real in Newfoundland ; João Fernandes Lavrador , Gaspar and Miguel Corte - Real and João Álvares Fagundes , in Newfoundland , Greenland , Labrador , and Nova Scotia ( from 1498 to 1502 , and in 1520 ) ; Jacques Cartier ( 1491 -- 1557 ) , Henry Hudson ( 1560s -- 1611 ) , and Samuel de Champlain ( 1567 -- 1635 ) , who explored the region of Canada he reestablished as New France . In 1513 , Vasco Núñez de Balboa crossed the Isthmus of Panama and led the first European expedition to see the Pacific Ocean from the west coast of the New World . In an action with enduring historical import , Balboa claimed the Pacific Ocean and all the lands adjoining it for the Spanish Crown . It was 1517 before another expedition , from Cuba , visited Central America , landing on the coast of Yucatán in search of slaves . Iberian Union ( 1598 ) These explorations were followed , notably in the case of Spain , by a phase of conquest : The Spaniards , having just finished the Reconquista of Spain from Muslim rule , were the first to colonize the Americas , applying the same model of governing their European holdings to their territories of the New World . Ten years after Columbus 's discovery , the administration of Hispaniola was given to Nicolás de Ovando of the Order of Alcántara , founded during the Reconquista . As in the Iberian Peninsula , the inhabitants of Hispaniola were given new landmasters , while religious orders handled the local administration . Progressively the encomienda system , which granted tribute ( access to indigenous labor and taxation ) to European settlers , was set in place . A relatively common misconception is that a small number of conquistadores conquered vast territories , aided only by disease epidemics and their powerful caballeros . In fact , recent archaeological excavations have suggested a vast Spanish - Indian alliance numbering in the hundreds of thousands . Hernán Cortés eventually conquered Mexico with the help of Tlaxcala in 1519 -- 1521 , while the conquest of the Incas was carried out by some 40,000 Incan renegades led by Francisco Pizarro in between 1532 and 1535 . Over the 1st century and a half after Columbus 's voyages , the native population of the Americas plummeted by an estimated 80 % ( from around 50 million in 1492 to eight million in 1650 ) , mostly by outbreaks of Old World diseases . In 1532 , Charles V , Holy Roman Emperor sent a vice-king to Mexico , Antonio de Mendoza , in order to prevent Cortes ' independentist drives , who definitively returned to Spain in 1540 . Two years later , Charles V signed the New Laws ( which replaced the Laws of Burgos of 1512 ) prohibiting slavery and the repartimientos , but also claiming as his own all the American lands and all of the indigenous people as his own subjects . Painting depicting a Castas with his mixed - race daughter and his Mulatta wife by Miguel Cabrera , 1763 When in May 1493 , the Pope Alexander VI issued the Inter caetera bull granting the new lands to the Kingdom of Spain , he requested in exchange an evangelization of the people . Thus , during Columbus 's second voyage , Benedictine friars accompanied him , along with twelve other priests . As slavery was prohibited between Christians , and could only be imposed in non-Christian prisoners of war or on men already sold as slaves , the debate on Christianization was particularly acute during the 16th century . In 1537 , the papal bull Sublimis Deus definitively recognized that Native Americans possessed souls , thus prohibiting their enslavement , without putting an end to the debate . Some claimed that a native who had rebelled and then been captured could be enslaved nonetheless . Later , the Valladolid debate between the Dominican priest Bartolomé de Las Casas and another Dominican philosopher Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda was held , with the former arguing that Native Americans were beings doted with souls , as all other human beings , while the latter argued to the contrary and justified their enslavement . The process of Christianization was at first violent : when the first Franciscans arrived in Mexico in 1524 , they burned the places dedicated to pagan cult , alienating much of the local population . In the 1530s , they began to adapt Christian practices to local customs , including the building of new churches on the sites of ancient places of worship , leading to a mix of Old World Christianity with local religions . The Spanish Roman Catholic Church , needing the natives ' labor and cooperation , evangelized in Quechua , Nahuatl , Guaraní and other Native American languages , contributing to the expansion of these indigenous languages and equipping some of them with writing systems . One of the first primitive schools for Native Americans was founded by Fray Pedro de Gante in 1523 . To reward their troops , the Conquistadores often allotted Indian towns to their troops and officers . Black African slaves were introduced to substitute for Native American labor in some locations -- including the West Indies , where the indigenous population was nearing extinction on many islands . During this time , the Portuguese gradually switched from an initial plan of establishing trading posts to extensive colonization of what is now Brazil . They imported millions of slaves to run their plantations . The Portuguese and Spanish royal governments expected to rule these settlements and collect at least 20 % of all treasure found ( the quinto real collected by the Casa de Contratación ) , in addition to collecting all the taxes they could . By the late 16th century American silver accounted for one - fifth of Spain 's total budget . In the 16th century perhaps 240,000 Europeans entered American ports . The search for riches ( edit ) Fur traders in Canada , trading with people of Indigenous ancestry , 1777 Inspired by the Spanish riches from colonies founded upon the conquest of the Aztecs , Incas , and other large Native American populations in the 16th century , the first Englishmen to settle permanently in America hoped for some of the same rich discoveries when they established their first permanent settlement in Jamestown , Virginia in 1607 . They were sponsored by common stock companies such as the chartered Virginia Company financed by wealthy Englishmen who exaggerated the economic potential of this new land . The main purpose of this colony was the hope of finding gold . It took strong leaders , like John Smith , to convince the colonists of Jamestown that searching for gold was not taking care of their immediate needs for food and shelter and the biblical principle that `` he who will not work shall not eat '' ( see 2 Thessalonians 3 ) . The lack of food security leading to extremely high mortality rate was quite distressing and cause for despair among the colonists . To support the Colony , numerous supply missions were organized . Tobacco later became a cash crop , with the work of John Rolfe and others , for export and the sustaining economic driver of Virginia and the neighboring colony of Maryland . From the beginning of Virginia 's settlements in 1587 until the 1680s , the main source of labor and a large portion of the immigrants were indentured servants looking for new life in the overseas colonies . During the 17th century , indentured servants constituted three - quarters of all European immigrants to the Chesapeake region . Most of the indentured servants were teenagers from England with poor economic prospects at home . Their fathers signed the papers that gave them free passage to America and an unpaid job until they became of age . They were given food , clothing , housing and taught farming or household skills . American landowners were in need of laborers and were willing to pay for a laborer 's passage to America if they served them for several years . By selling passage for five to seven years worth of work they could then start out on their own in America . Many of the migrants from England died in the first few years . Economic advantage also prompted the Darien Scheme , an ill - fated venture by the Kingdom of Scotland to settle the Isthmus of Panama in the late 1690s . The Darien Scheme aimed to control trade through that part of the world and thereby promote Scotland into a world trading power . However , it was doomed by poor planning , short provisions , weak leadership , lack of demand for trade goods , and devastating disease . The failure of the Darien Scheme was one of the factors that led the Kingdom of Scotland into the Act of Union 1707 with the Kingdom of England creating the united Kingdom of Great Britain and giving Scotland commercial access to English , now British , colonies . In the French colonial regions , the focus of economy was on sugar plantations in Caribbean . In Canada the fur trade with the natives was important . About 16,000 French men and women became colonizers . The great majority became subsistence farmers along the St. Lawrence River . With a favorable disease environment and plenty of land and food , their numbers grew exponentially to 65,000 by 1760 . Their colony was taken over by Britain in 1760 , but social , religious , legal , cultural and economic changes were few in a society that clung tightly to its recently formed traditions . Religious immigration ( edit ) Penn 's Treaty with the Indians Roman Catholics were the first major religious group to immigrate to the New World , as settlers in the colonies of Portugal and Spain ( and later , France ) belonged to that faith . English and Dutch colonies , on the other hand , tended to be more religiously diverse . Settlers to these colonies included Anglicans , Dutch Calvinists , English Puritans and other nonconformists , English Catholics , Scottish Presbyterians , French Huguenots , German and Swedish Lutherans , as well as Quakers , Mennonites , Amish , Moravians and Jews of various nationalities . Many groups of colonists went to the Americas searching for the right to practice their religion without persecution . The Protestant Reformation of the 16th century broke the unity of Western Christendom and led to the formation of numerous new religious sects , which often faced persecution by governmental authorities . In England , many people came to question the organization of the Church of England by the end of the 16th century . One of the primary manifestations of this was the Puritan movement , which sought to `` purify '' the existing Church of England of its many residual Catholic rites that they believed had no mention in the Bible . A strong believer in the notion of rule by divine right , Charles I , King of England and Scotland , persecuted religious dissenters . Waves of repression led to the migration of about 20,000 Puritans to New England between 1629 and 1642 , where they founded multiple colonies . Later in the century , the new Pennsylvania colony was given to William Penn in settlement of a debt the king owed his father . Its government was set up by William Penn in about 1682 to become primarily a refuge for persecuted English Quakers ; but others were welcomed . Baptists , Quakers , German and Swiss Protestants and Anabaptists flocked to Pennsylvania . The lure of cheap land , religious freedom and the right to improve themselves with their own hand was very attractive . Forced immigration and enslavement ( edit ) Main article : Atlantic slave trade African slaves 17th - century Virginia , 1670 . Slavery was a common practice in the Americas prior to the arrival of Europeans , as different American Indian groups captured and held other tribes ' members as slaves . Many of these captives were forced to undergo human sacrifice in Amerindian civilizations such as the Aztecs . In response to some enslavement of natives in the Caribbean during the early years , the Spanish Crown passed a series of laws prohibiting slavery as early as 1512 . A new stricter set of laws was passed in 1542 , called the New Laws of the Indies for the Good Treatment and Preservation of Indians , or simply New Laws . These were created to prevent the exploitation of the indigenous peoples by the encomenderos or landowners , by strictly limiting their power and dominion . This helped curb Indian slavery considerably , though not completely . Later , with the arrival of other European colonial powers in the New World , the enslavement of native populations increased , as these empires lacked legislation against slavery until decades later . The population of indigenous peoples declined ( mostly from European diseases , but also from forced exploitation and atrocities ) . Later , native workers were replaced by Africans imported through a large commercial slave trade . By the 18th century , the overwhelming number of black slaves was such that Amerindian slavery was less commonly used . Africans , who were taken aboard slave ships to the Americas , were primarily obtained from their African homelands by coastal tribes who captured and sold them . Europeans traded for slaves with the slave capturers of the local native African tribes in exchange for rum , guns , gunpowder , and other manufactures . Slavery ( edit ) The total slave trade to islands in the Caribbean , Brazil , Mexico and to the United States is estimated to have involved 12 million Africans . The vast majority of these slaves went to sugar colonies in the Caribbean and to Brazil , where life expectancy was short and the numbers had to be continually replenished . At most about 600,000 African slaves were imported into the U.S. , or 5 % of the 12 million slaves brought across from Africa . Life expectancy was much higher in the U.S. ( because of better food , less disease , lighter work loads , and better medical care ) so the numbers grew rapidly by excesses of births over deaths , reaching 4 million by the 1860 Census . Slaves were a valuable commodity both for work and for sale in slave markets and so the policy of actively encouraging or forcing slaves to breed developed , especially after the ending of the Atlantic slave trade . From 1770 until 1860 , the rate of growth of North American slaves was much greater than for the population of any nation in Europe , and was nearly twice as rapid as that of England . Slaves imported to the Thirteen colonies / United States by time period : 1619 -- 1700 -- 21,000 1701 -- 1760 -- 189,000 1761 -- 1770 -- 63,000 1771 -- 1790 -- 56,000 1791 -- 1800 -- 79,000 1801 -- 1810 -- 124,000 1810 -- 1865 -- 51,000 Total -- 597,000 Disease and indigenous population loss ( edit ) See also : Disease in colonial America and Native American disease and epidemics Drawing accompanying text in Book XII of the 16th - century Florentine Codex ( compiled 1540 -- 1585 ) Nahua suffering from smallpox The European lifestyle included a long history of sharing close quarters with domesticated animals such as cows , pigs , sheep , goats , horses , dogs and various domesticated fowl , from which many diseases originally stemmed . Thus , in contrast to the indigenous people , Europeans had developed a richer endowment of antibodies . The large - scale contact with Europeans after 1492 introduced novel germs to the indigenous people of the Americas . Epidemics of smallpox ( 1518 , 1521 , 1525 , 1558 , 1589 ) , typhus ( 1546 ) , influenza ( 1558 ) , diphtheria ( 1614 ) and measles ( 1618 ) swept the Americas subsequent to European contact , killing between 10 million and 100 million people , up to 95 % of the indigenous population of the Americas . The cultural and political instability attending these losses appears to have been of substantial aid in the efforts of various colonists in New England and Massachusetts to acquire control over the great wealth in land and resources of which indigenous societies had customarily made use . Such diseases yielded human mortality of an unquestionably enormous gravity and scale -- and this has profoundly confused efforts to determine its full extent with any true precision . Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of the Americas vary tremendously . Others have argued that significant variations in population size over pre-Columbian history are reason to view higher - end estimates with caution . Such estimates may reflect historical population maxima , while indigenous populations may have been at a level somewhat below these maxima or in a moment of decline in the period just prior to contact with Europeans . Indigenous populations hit their ultimate lows in most areas of the Americas in the early 20th century ; in a number of cases , growth has returned . Impact of colonial land ownership on long - term Development ( edit ) Geographic differences between the colonies played a large determinant in the types of political and economic systems that later developed . In their paper on institutions and long - run growth , economists Daron Acemoglu , Simon Johnson , and James A. Robinson argue that certain natural endowments gave rise to distinct colonial policies promoting either smallholder or coerced labor production . Densely settled populations , for example , were more easily exploitable and profitable as slave labor . In these regions , landowning elites were economically incentivized to develop forced labor arrangements such as the Peru mit'a system or Argentinian latifundias without regard for democratic norms . French and British colonial leaders , conversely , were incentivized to develop capitalist markets , property rights , and democratic institutions in response to natural environments that supported smallholder production over forced labor . James Mahoney , a professor at Northwestern University , proposes that colonial policy choices made at critical junctures regarding land ownership in coffee - rich Central America fostered enduring path dependent institutions . Coffee economies in Guatemala and El Salvador , for example , were centralized around large plantations that operated under coercive labor systems . By the 19th century , their political structures were largely authoritarian and militarized . In Colombia and Costa Rica , conversely , liberal reforms were enacted at critical junctures to expand commercial agriculture , and they ultimately raised the bargaining power of the middle class . Both nations eventually developed more democratic and egalitarian institutions than their highly concentrated landowning counterparts .

Professional archaeologists from the Society for Historical Archaeology , the largest scholarly group concerned with the archaeology of the modern world ( A.D. 1400 -- present ) , roundly criticized the network for promoting the theft of cultural materials on public and private land . The show Nazi War Diggers was accused of showing unscientific and disrespectful handling of human remains . A promotional quote from a military relic dealer , `` I feel that by selling things that are Nazi - related and for lots of money , I am preserving things that museums do n't want to deal with , '' was removed from the channel 's website in March 2014 . National Geographic expressed regret for how the series was presented by its own website but maintained that many of the accusations against the series were based on misinformation . The program was subsequently pulled from the schedules while National Geographic reviewed allegations against the series . The show was repackaged , amid controversy , as Battlefield Recovery for air during 2016 on Channel 5 in the UK .

] | https://en.wikipedia.org//w/index.php?title=The_Devil%27s_Arithmetic&oldid=803015596 | The Devil 's Arithmetic - wikipedia The Devil 's Arithmetic Jump to : navigation , search The Devil 's Arithmetic is a historical fiction novel written by American author Jane Yolen and published in 1988 . The book is about Hannah Stern , a Jewish girl who lives in New Rochelle , New York and is sent back in time to experience the Holocaust . During a Passover Seder , Hannah is transported back in time to 1942 Poland , during World War II , where she is sent to a death camp and learns the importance of knowing about the past . The Devil 's Arithmetic was nominated for the Nebula award for best novella in 1988 and won the National Jewish Book Award ( in the category for children 's literature ) in 1989 . The script for a 1999 Showtime television film with the same title , starring Kirsten Dunst and Brittany Murphy , was also nominated for a Nebula Award . Plot ( edit ) The book is a little different from the film . Hannah Stern is a 13 - year - old Jewish girl living in the present day ( time of publication : 1980s ) . She is bored by her relatives ' stories about the past , is not looking forward to the Passover Seder , and is tired of her religion . When Hannah symbolically opens the door for the prophet Elijah , she is transported back in time to 1942 Poland , during World War II . At that time and place , the people believe she is Chaya Abramowicz , who is recovering from cholera , the fever that killed Chaya 's parents a few months ago . The strange remarks Hannah / Chaya makes about the future and her inability to recognize her `` aunt '' Gitl and `` uncle '' Shmuel are blamed on the fever . At her `` uncle 's '' wedding , the Nazis come to transport the entire population of the village to a concentration camp near Donavin , and only Hannah knows all the terrors they will face : starvation , mistreatment , forced labor , and finally execution . She struggles to survive at the camp , with the help of a girl named Rivka . Uncle Shmuel and some other men try to escape ; the men are caught . Fayge , who was going to be married to Shmuel , is killed because she runs to Shmuel when he is about to be shot with the men that were caught . Yitzchak escaped and lived in the forest with the partisans , fighting the Germans . Later , when Hannah , Rivka , Esther , and Shifre are working , a guard overhears them talking instead of working . Shifre tries to reassure the guard they have been working , but he takes them anyway and leaves Hannah by herself . As the three are about to leave , Hannah takes Rivka 's place by putting on her babushka . Since the guards do n't know their faces , this goes unnoticed by the officer . The women are led to the gas chamber . She is then transported back to her family 's Seder . Aunt Eva calls her over . Hannah looks at Aunt Eva 's number ; it is the same as Rivka 's . Hannah ( when she was Chaya ) was really the woman she was named after , Rivka was Aunt Eva , and Rivka 's brother , Wolfe , was Grandpa Will . ( Aunt Eva said that they changed their names when they got to America . ) The epilogue at the end of the novel reveals that when the camp was liberated , the survivors were Gitl ( weighing a mere seventy - three pounds ) , Yitzchak , Rivka , and Leye ( a worker in the camp ) and her baby . Gitl and Yitzchak immigrate to Israel where Yitzchak becomes a politician while Gitl organizes a rescue mission that is dedicated to salvaging the lives of young survivors and locating family members . The organization is named after Chaya , her niece that died a hero . References ( edit ) Children and Young Adult Literature portal Jump up ^ `` ( Awards & Nominations ) '' . Jane Yolen .

For the 1925 silent film , see The Ancient Mariner ( film ) . The mariner up on the mast in a storm . One of the wood - engraved illustrations by Gustave Doré of the poem . The Rime of the Ancient Mariner ( originally The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere ) is the longest major poem by the English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge , written in 1797 -- 98 and published in 1798 in the first edition of Lyrical Ballads . Some modern editions use a revised version printed in 1817 that featured a gloss . Along with other poems in Lyrical Ballads , it is often considered a signal shift to modern poetry and the beginning of British Romantic literature . The Rime of the Ancient Mariner ( 1800 edition ) Problems playing this file ? See media help . The Rime of the Ancient Mariner relates the experiences of a sailor who has returned from a long sea voyage . The mariner stops a man who is on the way to a wedding ceremony and begins to narrate a story . The wedding - guest 's reaction turns from bemusement to impatience to fear to fascination as the mariner 's story progresses , as can be seen in the language style : Coleridge uses narrative techniques such as personification and repetition to create a sense of danger , the supernatural , or serenity , depending on the mood in different parts of the poem . Contents ( hide ) 1 Synopsis 2 Inspiration for the poem 3 Coleridge 's comments 4 Wordsworth 's comments 5 Early criticisms 6 Interpretations 7 In popular culture 8 Notes 9 References 10 External links Synopsis ( edit ) The mariner 's tale begins with his ship departing on its journey . Despite initial good fortune , the ship is driven south by a storm and eventually reaches Antarctic waters . An albatross appears and leads them out of the ice jam where they are stuck , but even as the albatross is praised by the ship 's crew , the mariner shoots the bird : With my cross-bow , I shot the albatross . The crew is angry with the mariner , believing the albatross brought the south wind that led them out of the Antarctic . However , the sailors change their minds when the weather becomes warmer and the mist disappears : ' Twas right , said they , such birds to slay , That bring the fog and mist . They soon find that they made a grave mistake in supporting this crime , as it arouses the wrath of spirits who then pursue the ship `` from the land of mist and snow '' ; the south wind that had initially led them from the land of ice now sends the ship into uncharted waters near the equator , where it is becalmed . Day after day , day after day , We stuck , nor breath nor motion ; As idle as a painted ship Upon a painted ocean . Water , water , every where , And all the boards did shrink ; Water , water , every where , Nor any drop to drink . The very deep did rot -- Oh Christ ! That ever this should be . Yea , slimy things did crawl with legs , Upon the slimy sea . Engraving by Gustave Doré for an 1876 edition of the poem . `` The Albatross , '' depicts 17 sailors on the deck of a wooden ship facing an albatross . Icicles hang from the rigging . The sailors change their minds again and blame the mariner for the torment of their thirst . In anger , the crew forces the mariner to wear the dead albatross about his neck , perhaps to illustrate the burden he must suffer from killing it , or perhaps as a sign of regret : Ah ! Well a-day ! What evil looks Had I from old and young ! Instead of the cross , the albatross About my neck was hung . Eventually , the ship encounters a ghostly hulk . On board are Death ( a skeleton ) and the `` Night - mare Life - in - Death '' , a deathly - pale woman , who are playing dice for the souls of the crew . With a roll of the dice , Death wins the lives of the crew members and Life - in - Death the life of the mariner , a prize she considers more valuable . Her name is a clue to the mariner 's fate : he will endure a fate worse than death as punishment for his killing of the albatross . One by one , all of the crew members die , but the mariner lives on , seeing for seven days and nights the curse in the eyes of the crew 's corpses , whose last expressions remain upon their faces . Eventually , this stage of the mariner 's curse is lifted after he appreciates the sea creatures swimming in the water . Despite his cursing them as `` slimy things '' earlier in the poem , he suddenly sees their true beauty and blesses them ( `` a spring of love gush 'd from my heart , and I bless 'd them unaware '' ) ; suddenly , as he manages to pray , the albatross falls from his neck and his guilt is partially expiated . The bodies of the crew , possessed by good spirits , rise again and help steer the ship . In a trance , the mariner hears two spirits discussing his voyage and penance , and learns that the ship is being powered supernaturally : The air is cut away before , And closes from behind . Finally the mariner comes in sight of his homeland , but is initially uncertain as to whether or not he is hallucinating . Oh ! Dream of joy ! Is this indeed The light - house top I see ? Is this the hill ? Is this the kirk ? Is this mine own countree ? We drifted o'er the harbour - bar , And I with sobs did pray -- O let me be awake , my God ! Or let me sleep alway . The rotten remains of the ship sink in a whirlpool , leaving only the mariner behind . A hermit on the mainland had seen the approaching ship and had come to meet it with a pilot and his boy , in a boat . When they pull him from the water , they think he is dead , but when he opens his mouth , the pilot has a fit . The hermit prays , and the mariner picks up the oars to row . The pilot 's boy goes crazy and laughs , thinking the mariner is the devil , and cries , `` The Devil knows how to row '' . As penance for shooting the albatross , the mariner , driven by guilt , is forced to wander the earth , telling his story over and over , and teaching a lesson to those he meets : He prayeth best , who loveth best All things both great and small ; For the dear God who loveth us , He made and loveth all . After relaying the story , the mariner leaves , and the wedding guest returns home , and wakes the next morning `` a sadder and a wiser man '' . The poem received mixed reviews from critics , and Coleridge was once told by the publisher that most of the book 's sales were to sailors who thought it was a naval songbook . Coleridge made several modifications to the poem over the years . In the second edition of Lyrical Ballads , published in 1800 , he replaced many of the archaic words . Inspiration for the poem ( edit ) Commemorative statue at Watchet , Somerset : the albatross hangs on a rope looped around the ancient mariner 's neck . `` Ah ! well a-day ! what evil looks Had I from old and young ! Instead of the cross , the Albatross About my neck was hung . '' The poem may have been inspired by James Cook 's second voyage of exploration ( 1772 -- 1775 ) of the South Seas and the Pacific Ocean ; Coleridge 's tutor , William Wales , was the astronomer on Cook 's flagship and had a strong relationship with Cook . On this second voyage Cook crossed three times into the Antarctic Circle to determine whether the fabled great southern continent existed . Critics have also suggested that the poem may have been inspired by the voyage of Thomas James into the Arctic . According to William Wordsworth , the poem was inspired while Coleridge , Wordsworth , and Wordsworth 's sister Dorothy were on a walking tour through the Quantock Hills in Somerset . The discussion had turned to a book that Wordsworth was reading , A Voyage Round The World by Way of the Great South Sea ( 1726 ) by Captain George Shelvocke . In the book , a melancholy sailor , Simon Hatley , shoots a black albatross : We all observed , that we had not the sight of one fish of any kind , since we were come to the Southward of the streights of le Mair , nor one sea - bird , except a disconsolate black Albatross , who accompanied us for several days ... till Hattley , ( my second Captain ) observing , in one of his melancholy fits , that this bird was always hovering near us , imagin 'd , from his colour , that it might be some ill omen ... He , after some fruitless attempts , at length , shot the Albatross , not doubting we should have a fair wind after it . As they discussed Shelvocke 's book , Wordsworth proffers the following developmental critique to Coleridge , which importantly contains a reference to tutelary spirits : `` Suppose you represent him as having killed one of these birds on entering the south sea , and the tutelary spirits of these regions take upon them to avenge the crime . '' By the time the trio finished their walk , the poem had taken shape . Bernard Martin argues in The Ancient Mariner and the Authentic Narrative that Coleridge was also influenced by the life of Anglican clergyman John Newton , who had a near - death experience aboard a slave ship . The poem may also have been inspired by the legends of the Wandering Jew , who was forced to wander the earth until Judgement Day for a terrible crime , found in Charles Maturin 's Melmoth the Wanderer , M.G. Lewis ' The Monk ( a novel Coleridge reviewed ) and the Flying Dutchman . It is claimed that the harbour at Watchet in Somerset was the primary inspiration for the poem , although some time before , John Cruikshank , a local acquaintance of Coleridge 's , had related a dream about a skeleton ship manned by spectral sailors . In September 2003 , a commemorative statue , by Alan B Herriot of Penicuik , Scotland , was unveiled at Watchet harbour . Coleridge 's comments ( edit ) `` The Albatross about my Neck was Hung , '' etching by William Strang . Poem illustration published 1896 . In Biographia Literaria , Coleridge wrote : The thought suggested itself ( to which of us I do not recollect ) that a series of poems might be composed of two sorts . In the one , incidents and agents were to be , in part at least , supernatural , and the excellence aimed at was to consist in the interesting of the affections by the dramatic truth of such emotions , as would naturally accompany such situations , supposing them real . And real in this sense they have been to every human being who , from whatever source of delusion , has at any time believed himself under supernatural agency . For the second class , subjects were to be chosen from ordinary life ... In this idea originated the plan of the ' Lyrical Ballads ' ; in which it was agreed , that my endeavours should be directed to persons and characters supernatural , or at least Romantic ; yet so as to transfer from our inward nature a human interest and a semblance of truth sufficient to procure for these shadows of imagination that willing suspension of disbelief for the moment , which constitutes poetic faith ... With this view I wrote the ' Ancient Mariner ' . In Table Talk , Coleridge wrote : Mrs Barbauld once told me that she admired The Ancient Mariner very much , but that there were two faults in it -- it was improbable , and had no moral . As for the probability , I owned that that might admit some question ; but as to the want of a moral , I told her that in my own judgement the poem had too much ; and that the only , or chief fault , if I might say so , was the obtrusion of the moral sentiment so openly on the reader as a principle or cause of action in a work of such pure imagination . It ought to have had no more moral than the Arabian Nights ' tale of the merchant 's sitting down to eat dates by the side of a well , and throwing the shells aside , and lo ! a genie starts up , and says he must kill the aforesaid merchant , because one of the date shells had , it seems , put out the eye of the genie 's son . Wordsworth 's comments ( edit ) Wordsworth wrote to Joseph Cottle in 1799 : From what I can gather it seems that the Ancient Mariner has upon the whole been an injury to the volume , I mean that the old words and the strangeness of it have deterred readers from going on . If the volume should come to a second Edition I would put in its place some little things which would be more likely to suit the common taste . However , when Lyrical Ballads was reprinted , Wordsworth included it despite Coleridge 's objections , writing : The Poem of my Friend has indeed great defects ; first , that the principal person has no distinct character , either in his profession of Mariner , or as a human being who having been long under the control of supernatural impressions might be supposed himself to partake of something supernatural ; secondly , that he does not act , but is continually acted upon ; thirdly , that the events having no necessary connection do not produce each other ; and lastly , that the imagery is somewhat too laboriously accumulated . Yet the Poem contains many delicate touches of passion , and indeed the passion is every where true to nature , a great number of the stanzas present beautiful images , and are expressed with unusual felicity of language ; and the versification , though the metre is itself unfit for long poems , is harmonious and artfully varied , exhibiting the utmost powers of that metre , and every variety of which it is capable . It therefore appeared to me that these several merits ( the first of which , namely that of the passion , is of the highest kind ) gave to the Poem a value which is not often possessed by better Poems . Early criticisms ( edit ) Illustration by Gustave Doré , 1878 Upon its release , the poem was criticized for being obscure and difficult to read . The use of archaic spelling of words was seen as not in keeping with Wordsworth 's claims of using common language . Criticism was renewed again in 1815 -- 16 , when Coleridge added marginal notes to the poem that were also written in an archaic style . These notes or glosses , placed next to the text of the poem , ostensibly interpret the verses much like marginal notes found in the Bible . There were many opinions on why Coleridge inserted the gloss . Charles Lamb , who had deeply admired the original for its attention to `` Human Feeling '' , claimed that the gloss distanced the audience from the narrative , weakening the poem 's effects . The entire poem was first published in the collection of Lyrical Ballads . Another version of the poem was published in the 1817 collection entitled Sibylline Leaves ( see 1817 in poetry ) . Interpretations ( edit ) On a surface level the poem explores a violation of nature and the resulting psychological effects on the mariner and on all those who hear him . According to Jerome McGann the poem is like a salvation story . The poem 's structure is multi-layered text based on Coleridge 's interest in Higher Criticism . `` Like the Iliad or Paradise Lost or any great historical product , the Rime is a work of transhistorical rather than so - called universal significance . This verbal distinction is important because it calls attention to a real one . Like The Divine Comedy or any other poem , the Rime is not valued or used always or everywhere or by everyone in the same way or for the same reasons . '' George Whalley , in his 1946 -- 47 essay , `` The Mariner and the Albatross '' , suggests that the Ancient Mariner is an autobiographical portrait of Coleridge himself , comparing the mariner 's loneliness with Coleridge 's own feelings of loneliness expressed in his letters and journals . In popular culture ( edit ) Main article : The Rime of the Ancient Mariner in popular culture In addition to being referred to in several other notable works , due to the popularity of the poem the phrase `` albatross around one 's neck '' has become an English language idiom referring to `` a heavy burden of guilt that becomes an obstacle to success ''. . Monty Python 's `` Albatross Sketch '' in which an irascible movie - theatre refreshment vendor tries a sell a single albatross from a tray around his neck , is a parody of Coleridge 's description of the Mariner . The phrase `` Water , water , every where , Nor any drop to drink '' has appeared widely in popular culture , but usually given in a more natural modern phrasing as `` Water , water , everywhere But not a drop to drink '' ; some such appearances have , in turn , played on the frequency with which these lines are misquoted . The poem is referenced in the script of the 1939 film The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes . The Iron Maiden song `` Rime of the Ancient Mariner '' from their fifth studio album Powerslave was inspired by and based on the poem . Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ Andrew C.F.

Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise . ( October 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Present day ( edit ) Stanley Yelnats IV is a 14 - year - old boy from a hard - working but poor family that is allegedly affected by a curse of bad luck , which they blame on Stanley 's `` no - good - dirty - rotten pig - stealing - great - great - grandfather '' . Stanley 's latest stroke of misfortune occurs when he is mistakenly convicted of the theft of a pair of athletic shoes once owned by Clyde `` Sweet Feet '' Livingston , which had been donated to a homeless shelter to raise money . Stanley is sent to Camp Green Lake , a juvenile imprisonment and disciplinary facility which is ironically in the middle of a sterile desert . As a punishment , the inmates of the camp have to dig 1 hole a day 5 feet wide and 5 feet deep to ' build character ' . Stanley soon begins to suspect that they are not digging to build character , but rather to find something hidden beneath the dry , rocky ground . 19th - century curse ( edit ) Stanley 's `` no - good - dirty - rotten - pig - stealing - great - great - grandfather '' , Elya Yelnats , is in love with a girl named Myra Menke , but a much older pig farmer named Igor Barkov also wants to marry her , offering Myra 's father his heaviest pig in exchange for Myra 's hand in marriage . Desperate to impress Myra and her father , Elya goes to his friend Madame Zeroni for help . She warns him that Myra is not intelligent and will not be a good wife , and advises him to move to America , as her son has . She gives him a tiny piglet , telling him to carry the piglet up a mountain every day , and let it drink from a stream while singing to it . Each day the water will make it grow bigger , and Elya will grow stronger . On the last day , after he carries the pig one last time , he must carry Madame Zeroni herself up the mountain to do the same , as he will then be strong enough to carry her . However , Zeroni warns him that if Elya does not carry her up the mountain , his family will be cursed . Elya follows her directions , and the piglet grows to a large size , but he does not carry the pig up on the final day in order to have time to clean up . Elya nearly wins Myra as his bride , but his pig is revealed to be the same weight as Igor 's . Since the pigs weigh the same , Myra is given the choice between Elya and Igor , but fails to decide . When Myra has Elya and Igor try to guess what number she 's thinking of in order to win her , Elya walks away in disgust . Elya , forgetting his promise to Madame Zeroni , moves to America to start a new life , falls in love , and marries , but he is beset by Zeroni 's curse . The song that he sang to the piglet becomes a lullaby that is passed down among Elya 's descendants , who are all named Stanley due to its palindromic relation to the name Yelnats . Kissin ' Kate Barlow ( edit ) In the year 1888 , the town of Green Lake is a flourishing lakeside community . Katherine `` Kate '' Barlow , the local teacher , falls in love with Sam , an African - American onion seller , while rejecting advances from wealthy resident Charles `` Trout '' Walker ( named due to the smell of his feet ) . There is an uproar in the town after Hattie Parker sees Kate and Sam kissing in an alley , proclaiming God will punish them . After no children arrive at the schoolhouse the following day , a mob led by Trout Walker ransacks and burns the schoolhouse . Kate realizes that Sam is in danger of being lynched and seeks the help of the sheriff . The sheriff is drunk and states that Sam is to be hanged in accordance with the law , but will spare Sam if she gives him a kiss . Kate leaves in disgust . She finds Sam and they attempt an escape across the lake in Sam 's rowboat , but Walker and the mob intercept them with Walker 's motorboat , ramming the smaller vessel and sinking it . Sam is shot and killed in the water , while Kate is `` rescued '' against her wishes . Following the death of Sam , no rain falls ever again on the town , and the reader is asked : ' who did God punish ? ' Kate becomes a prominent outlaw , who leaves a kiss - mark in lipstick on her first dead victim , earning her the nickname `` Kissin ' Kate Barlow . '' Kate robs Stanley 's great - grandfather , Stanley Yelnats I , of his entire fortune , but rather than kill him , she abandons him in the desert that was previously Green Lake . Miraculously , he survives after he is found by lizard and snake hunters , who believe Stanley I to be crazy . Stanley I is subsequently taken to the hospital where he stays for a number of weeks . During his hospital stay , Stanley I falls in love with the nurse that is caring for him , and the two later marry . Twenty years later , Kate returns to an old cabin on the former lakeside and is tracked down by Trout and his wife , who are bankrupt and desperate for money . They try to force her to reveal where she buried her loot , but she is bitten by a yellow - spotted lizard and dies . As she dies , she taunts them by saying , `` start digging '' . The Walkers are left to dig the entire area in order to find the buried treasure . Camp Green Lake ( edit ) The inmates at Camp Green Lake are forced to dig cylindrical holes five feet deep and five feet wide , which the warden says `` builds their character . '' They are promised the rest of their day off if they find anything that the Warden considers `` interesting '' . Stanley finds a fossil , but Mr Pendanski tells him that the Warden `` is n't interested in fossils '' , leading Stanley to suspect they are looking for something in particular . During one dig , Stanley finds one of Barlow 's lipstick tubes ( though he does n't recognize it for what it is ) , but he pawns it off to X-Ray , the ringleader of Tent D , who convinces him that he deserves it more than Stanley . The Warden is excited by the discovery and orders them to greatly enlarge X-Ray's hole ( the wrong hole ) and to sift through the dirt from it for several weeks . Meanwhile , Stanley and Zero , the smallest inmate in Tent D , who got his nickname because `` he has nothing in his head '' , become friends . Stanley agrees to teach Zero how to read , and in return , Zero digs Stanley 's hole part of the time . The other boys eventually become jealous after seeing Stanley getting help , eventually resulting in a fight . The Warden and the staff arrive and , learning that Zero has been assisting Stanley with digging in return for receiving education , mock him . The argument culminates in Zero angrily hitting Mr. Pendanski with a shovel and running away , and the camp staff decide to erase their records of him and let him die in the desert . A few days later , Stanley follows Zero and finds him living under the remains of Sam 's boat , eating very old jars of Kate 's spiced peaches , which he calls `` Sploosh '' . Stanley notices a mountain resembling a human fist giving the thumbs up sign , and recalls that Stanley Yelnats I claimed to find `` refuge on God 's thumb '' . On the mountain , Zero admits that he was the one who stole `` Sweet Feet '' Livingston 's shoes . Atop the mountain , Stanley discovers a field of onions that was once Sam 's . The boys eat the onions and find water by digging in the ground , and Stanley sings Madame Zeroni 's song to Zero , Zeroni 's descendant , unknowingly breaking the curse . Stanley suggests that they return to the hole where Stanley found the lipstick to find the buried treasure . They find a suitcase buried in the hole , but they are captured by the Warden , and surrounded by a group of lethal yellow - spotted lizards . A stalemate develops : they can not move , but the lizards prevent the Warden 's staff from approaching them . The lizards do not bite Stanley and Zero because they are repelled by the onions the boys have been eating . They remain in the hole until the next morning , when an attorney arrives demanding Stanley 's release , having received testimony that gives him an alibi during the time the shoes were stolen . The Warden tries to claim they stole the suitcase from her , but Zero reveals that the name ' Stanley Yelnats ' is written on it , as the suitcase had belonged to Stanley 's great - grandfather . Fearing that the warden will kill Zero if he leaves him behind , Stanley refuses to leave the camp unless Zero can come along . The attorney orders the Warden to get Zero 's file , but the camp staff are naturally unable to find it , and Zero is also released . Stanley 's family open the case , discovering the jewels , deeds , stocks and promissory notes stolen from Stanley Yelnats I. Using the money raised from the bonds , Stanley 's family buys a new house and Zero hires a team of investigators to find his missing mother ; meanwhile , the drought at Green Lake is brought to an end by rainfall . The family 's luck seems to change as if in response to Stanley 's fulfillment of his ancestor 's promise ( a suggestion left purposely ambiguous by the narration ) . In a final scene , Clyde Livingston and his wife , along with the Yelnats and Zeroni families , celebrate the success of Stanley 's father 's antidote to foot odor , composed of preserved and fermented spiced peaches and onions and named `` Sploosh '' by Zero . The Warden is forced to sell Green Lake to `` a national organization dedicated to the well - being of young girls '' , which turns it into a Girl Scout camp . Characters ( edit ) Camp Green Lake ( edit ) Stanley Yelnats IV ( also known as `` Caveman '' by the rest of the campers , but referred to in the book by his proper name ) : Stanley is a 14 - year - old boy who does not have any friends from school and is often picked on by his classmates and the school bully . Stanley 's family is cursed with bad luck , and although they do not have much money , they always try to remain hopeful and look on the bright side of things . Stanley shares these traits with his family and , although he does not have a lot of self - confidence , he is not easily depressed , a characteristic that helps him adjust to the horrendous conditions of Camp Green Lake . However , he has a bad habit of blaming his great great grandfather when he gets in trouble . This habit made him impudent . As the book progresses , Stanley slowly gains strength . He identifies the people who threaten him , like the Warden , and while he tries not to get in trouble he also stands up for himself and his friends and family . Stanley rebels for the rights of his friends when he steals Mr. Sir 's truck to look for his friend Zero in the dry lake bed . Zero ( Hector Zeroni ) : Zero is known to be the best digger at Camp Green Lake . So often , he is considered to be `` stupid '' or a mere nothing by the other boys and the counselors at the lake . He lacks an education , meaning he can not really read nor write . However , he is smart and manages to stand for himself in the face of adversity . Typically he is noted as the character that hardly speaks due to the fact that he is wary of those who mock him . He is said to always have a scowl on his face and does not like to answer questions . Zero is shown to be an honest character after becoming close friends with Stanley . Zero is the one who steals the shoes that Stanley was arrested for and accused of stealing . He is the great - great - great - grandson of Madame Zeroni , the woman who put a curse on Stanley 's family . He has been homeless for most of his life , as well as being abandoned by his mother at a very young age . Although he suffers quite a bit , he always seems to persevere and come out on top . X-Ray ( Rex Washburn ) : X-Ray is the unofficial head of the boys in Group D. X-Ray decides that Stanley will be called Caveman and fixes the order of the line for water . X-Ray maintains his position as the leader of the boys even though he is one of the smallest and can barely see without his glasses . He convinces Stanley to give him the lipstick tube that Stanley finds in his hole so that he can have the day off instead of Stanley . X-Ray is able to maintain his position at the head of the group through a system of rewards and allies . Every time that Stanley does something nice for X-Ray , X-Ray is nice to Stanley and stands up for him when the other boys pick on him . When Stanley becomes friends with Zero , however , X-Ray's system is threatened and he becomes hostile towards Stanley . His nickname X-ray comes from it being pig Latin of his actual name , Rex . Squid ( Alan ) : Squid is a member of Group D at Camp Green Lake . He is often the one for taunting Stanley for sending and receiving letters to his mother . Just like X-Ray , Squid is very tough but very subservient to X-Ray's rules and directions . Magnet ( José ) : Another member of Group D. Magnet earned his nickname because of his ability to steal , he got into Camp Green Lake for stealing animals from the zoo and refers to his fingers as `` little magnets '' . Armpit ( Theodore Johnson ) : One of X-Ray's close friends at camp , he pushes Stanley when Stanley calls him Theodore . Zig Zag ( Ricky ) : Zigzag is described to being the tallest kid of Group D , constantly looking like he has been electrocuted , with frizzy hair . Stanley often thinks he is the weirdest and craziest kid at Camp Green Lake . Zigzag is the one who hit Stanley on the head with a shovel and did not apologize for doing so . Zigzag suffers from paranoia , highlighting his displayed `` craziness '' . The Warden ( Ms. Walker ) : Running Camp Green Lake , she is known to be violent , abusive , and quite mean . She uses her power and privilege to get what she wants and make members of the camp to do as she pleases . She has hidden cameras , using them to spy on the members of the camp . She is often thought of to have hidden cameras in the showers , causing Stanley to be paranoid whenever he took a shower , rushing out as fast as possible . She wears nail polish traced with rattlesnake venom , and scratches those when they displease or go against what she says . She has the members of Camp Green Lake digging holes to look for Kate Barlow 's hidden treasure . She is the granddaughter of Charles `` Trout '' Walker . Mr. Sir : One of the counselors at Camp Green Lake , he is constantly eating sunflower seeds . He took up this habit after deciding to quit smoking . He is known to be mean and tough . Mr. Pendanski : In Group D at Camp Green Lake Mr. Pendanski is in charge . Mr. Pendanski may seem friendly , but he is just as mean as the Warden and Mr. Sir . He never stops making fun of Zero . Town of Green Lake ( edit ) Katherine Barlow ( Kissin ' Kate Barlow ) : Katherine Barlow is a sweet and intelligent woman who teaches in a one - room school house on Green Lake one hundred and ten years before it becomes Camp Green Lake . She falls in love with Sam , the man who sells onions in the town . Although the rest of the white people in the town are racist and enforce rules that prohibit black people from going to school , Kate , who is white , does not care about the color of a person 's skin and she loves Sam for the person that he is . When Kate and Sam kiss , the townsfolk grow angry and kill Sam . Kate is devastated by Sam 's death and becomes Kissin ' Kate Barlow , one of the most feared outlaws in the West . Kissin ' Kate always leaves her mark by kissing someone when she finishes killing them ; if she had only robbed them , she would leave them in the hot desert letting the yellow - spotted lizards bite the victim with their venomous teeth and kill them . She is the outlaw responsible for robbing Stanley Yelnats I ( Stanley 's ancestor ) . Kate dies when a yellow spotted lizard bites her foot . The lipstick tube that Stanley finds during his second week at Camp Green was owned by Kate Barlow . Sam : Sam is an African - American farmer in the town Green Lake , Texas who grows onions . He believes onions are the cure to everything and makes many remedies from onions . He also has an immense love for his donkey , Mary Lou . His relationship with Kate begins when Sam exchanges his onions for some jars of peaches . He is killed by the townspeople for kissing Kate . His death is led by Charles `` Trout '' Walker ( Trout Walker ) . Charles `` Trout '' Walker : Charles `` Trout '' Walker is an extremely spoiled son of a rich family in Green Lake . He gets upset when Kate denies his request to date her . This angers him , and adds on to the reason of causing him to lead the townspeople to burn down the schoolhouse and kill Sam . His nickname Trout comes because of his foot fungus that causes his feet to smell like dead fish . He is The Warden 's grandfather , which upon his death , opens up the juvenile detention camp to increase the efficiency of finding Kate Barlow 's hidden treasure . Stanley Yelnats I : Stanley Yelnats I is the son of Elya Yelnats as well as the great - grandfather of Stanley Yelnats IV . He was the one whose treasure was stolen by Kate Barlow while he was moving from New York to California . He is known to have survived by climbing to the top of a thumb - shaped mountain ( God 's Thumb ) which happens to be Sam 's old onion field . Mid-1800s Latvia ( edit ) Elya Yelnats : Elya is the great - great - grandfather of Stanley . He was often referred to as his `` no - good - dirty - rotten - pig - stealing - great - great - grandfather '' , constantly being blamed for everything that goes wrong in Stanley 's life . He is considered to be the reason why the Yelnats family has such bad luck . After he fell in love with the woman in Latvia , he travels to America , forgetting to go through with the promise he made to an old woman named Madame Zeroni . This causes generations of bad luck to trickle down the Yelnats family tree . However , he does pass down an important song that Madame Zeroni taught him in Latvia . Madame Zeroni : Madame Zeroni is the great - great - great - grandmother of Hector Zeroni ( Zero ) . She is great friends with Elya Yelnats , and she gives him a pig . Because Elya breaks his promise of carrying her to the top of the mountain , she is considered to be the one who put a `` curse '' on the Yelnats family . Myra Menke : Myra is the most beautiful girl in the Latvian village of Elya and Madame Zeroni . Madame Zeroni compares her to a flowerpot . Myra 's father promised to award her hand in marriage to whichever suitor can raise the fattest pig . When the pigs were the same size , Myra asked Elya and Igor Barkov to guess a number between 1 and 10 , showing her inability to make her own decisions . Igor Barkov : Igor was Elya 's competitor for the hand of Myra Menke . He was already old and fat , but was a successful pig farmer . Minor characters ( edit ) Mr. Yelnats ( Stanley Yelnats III ) : Mr. Yelnats is Stanley 's father . He is an inventor and quite smart , but extremely unlucky . He attempts to discover a way to recycle old sneakers and because of this , the Yelnats ' apartment smells bad . However , he eventually discovers a cure to ridding foot odor and is able to hire a lawyer , Ms. Morengo , to get Stanley out of Camp Green Lake . Mrs. Yelnats : Mrs. Yelnats is Stanley 's mother . She does not believe in curses but always points out the terrible luck that the Yelnats go through . Setting ( edit ) Camp Green Lake is located on a dried - up lake in the U.S. state of Texas . The area is not green and there is no lake , besides the fact that there is such a little amount of shade ( two oak trees ) which are owned by the Warden . Camp Green Lake is a parched barren place with the scorching sun above them with hardly any clouds , so the sun is always shining , making the environment much hotter . Camp Green Lake is a juvenile detention center , where inmates spend most of their time digging holes . The majority of the book takes place between the past and present . Protagonists deal with flashbacks existing from pre-dried up Green Lake to Latvia ( mid-1800s ) back to modern day Camp Green Lake . Film adaptation ( edit ) Main article : Holes ( film ) In 2003 , Walt Disney Pictures released a film version of Holes , which was directed by Andrew Davis and written by Louis Sachar . Sequels ( edit ) Two companion novels have followed Holes : Stanley Yelnats ' Survival Guide to Camp Green Lake ( 2003 ) and Small Steps ( 2006 ) . Stanley Yelnats 's Survival guide to Camp Green Lake ( edit ) As Louis Sachar states : `` Should you ever find yourself at Camp Green Lake -- or somewhere similar -- this is the guide for you . '' Written from Stanley 's point of view , the book offers advice on everything from scorpions , rattlesnakes , yellow - spotted lizards , etc . Small steps ( edit ) In this sequel to Holes , former inmate Armpit is now 17 and struggling with the challenges facing an African American teenager with a criminal history . A new friendship with Ginny , who has cerebral palsy , a reunion with former friend X-Ray , a ticket - scalping scheme , a beautiful pop singer , and a frame - up all test Armpit 's resolve to `` Just take small steps and keep moving forward '' .

In democracies , political campaigns often refer to electoral campaigns , by which representatives are chosen or referendums are decided . In modern politics , the most high - profile political campaigns are focused on general elections and candidates for head of state or head of government , often a president or prime minister .

It is to get those who agree with their ideas to support them when running for a political position . The message often consists of several talking points about policy issues . The points summarize the main ideas of the campaign and are repeated frequently in order to create a lasting impression with the voters . In many elections , the opposition party will try to get the candidate `` off message '' by bringing up policy or personal questions that are not related to the talking points . Most campaigns prefer to keep the message broad in order to attract the most potential voters . A message that is too narrow can alienate voters or slow the candidate down with explaining details . For example , in the 2008 American presidential election John McCain originally used a message that focused on his patriotism and political experience : `` Country First '' ; later the message was changed to shift attention to his role as `` The Original Maverick '' within the political establishment . Barack Obama ran on a consistent , simple message of `` change '' throughout his campaign . However , even if the message is crafted carefully , it does not assure the candidate a victory at the polls . For a winning candidate , the message is refined and then becomes his or her in office . Campaign finance ( edit ) Main article : Campaign finance Fundraising techniques include having the candidate call or meet with large donors , sending direct mail pleas to small donors , and courting interest groups who could end up spending millions on the race if it is significant to their interests . Organization ( edit ) Main article : Political campaign staff In a modern political campaign , the campaign organization ( or `` machine '' ) will have a coherent structure of personnel in the same manner as any business of similar size . Campaign manager ( edit ) Main article : Campaign manager Successful campaigns usually require a campaign manager to coordinate the campaign 's operations . Apart from a candidate , they are often a campaign 's most visible leader . Modern campaign managers may be concerned with executing strategy rather than setting it - particularly if the senior strategists are typically outside political consultants such as primarily pollsters and media consultants . Political consultants ( edit ) Main article : Political consulting Political consultants advise campaigns on virtually all of their activities , from research to field strategy . Consultants conduct candidate research , voter research , and opposition research for their clients . Activists ( edit ) Activists are the `` foot soldiers '' loyal to the cause , the true believers who will carry the run by volunteer activists . Such volunteers and interns may take part in activities such as canvassing door - to - door and making phone calls on behalf of the campaign . Techniques ( edit ) Democrat John Edwards makes a campaign speech in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania in 2007 . A campaign team ( which may be as small as one inspired individual , or a heavily resourced group of professionals ) must consider how to communicate the message of the campaign , recruit volunteers , and raise money . Campaign advertising draws on techniques from commercial advertising and propaganda , a mixture also dubbed politainment . The avenues available to political campaigns when distributing their messages is limited by the law , available resources , and the imagination of the campaigns ' participants . These techniques are often combined into a formal strategy known as the campaign plan . The plan takes account of a campaign 's goal , message , target audience , and resources available . The campaign will typically seek to identify supporters at the same time as getting its message across . Campaign communication ( edit ) Main article : Research strategies of election campaign communication research Election campaign communication refers to party - controlled communication , e.g. campaign advertising , and party - uncontrolled communication , e.g. media coverage of elections . Campaign advertising ( edit ) Main article : Campaign advertising Campaign advertising is the use of paid media ( newspapers , radio , television , etc . ) to influence the decisions made for and by groups . These ads are designed by political consultants and the campaign 's staff . Media management ( edit ) The public media ( in US parlance `` free media '' or `` earned media '' ) may run the story that someone is trying to get elected or to do something about certain aspects regarding their specific country . Mass meetings , rallies and protests ( edit ) A political rally in Chinatown , Los Angeles , featuring Betty Ford campaigning for her husband , U.S. President Gerald Ford , during the 1976 presidential campaign . Modern technology and the Internet ( edit ) Main article : Internet activism The internet is now a core element of modern political campaigns . Communication technologies such as e-mail , web sites , and podcasts for various forms of activism to enable faster communications by citizen movements and deliver a message to a large audience . These Internet technologies are used for cause - related fundraising , lobbying , volunteering , community building , and organizing . Individual political candidates are also using the internet to promote their election campaign . In a study of Norwegian election campaigns , politicians reported they used social media for marketing and for dialogue with voters . Facebook was the primary platform for marketing and Twitter was used for more continuous dialogue . Signifying the importance of internet political campaigning , Barack Obama 's presidential campaign relied heavily on social media , Search Engine Optimisation ( SEO ) and new media channels to engage voters , recruit campaign volunteers , and raise campaign funds . The campaign brought the spotlight on the importance of using internet in new - age political campaigning by utilizing various forms of social media and new media ( including Facebook , YouTube and a custom generated social engine ) to reach new target populations . The campaign 's social website , my.BarackObama.com , utilized a low cost and efficient method of mobilizing voters and increasing participation among various voter populations . This new media was incredibly successful at reaching the younger population while helping all populations organize and promote action . Now Online Election campaign has got a new dimension , the campaign information can be shared as in Rich Info format through campaign landing pages , integrating Google 's rich snippets , structured data , Social media open graphs , and husting support file formats for YouTube like . sbv ( SubRip ) , . srt ( subtitle resource track ) , . vtt ( Video text trace ) , high proficiency and effective algorithmic integration will be the core factor in the frame - work . This technology integration helps campaign information to reach a wide audience in split seconds . This has successfully been tested and implemented in 2015 Aruvikkara Election Kerala . Husting ( edit ) Main article : Husting A husting , or the hustings , was originally a physical platform from which representatives presented their views or cast votes before a parliamentary or other election body . By metonymy , the term may now refer to any event , such as debates or speeches , during an election campaign where one or more of the representative candidates are present . Search Engine Manipulation Effect ( SEME ) Main article : Search Engine Manipulation Effect ( SEME ) Search Engine Manipulation Effect ( SEME ) , and ability to reach the millennial demographic over social media and search engines have become an important component to Online Husting - based campaign efforts , this feature can now be enriched with Google 's latest optimization tactics , such as Structured Data Markup integration helps to publish campaign content in more prominent way . First time such SEME based election campaign tactics is about to implement in Indian Assembly Election 2016 by Mr. Jayakumar K , Digital Marketing and campaign expert holding the position of CEO in CEARSLEG Technologies Pvt Ltd . It 's evident that SEME can influence unbiased voters heavily , a study by Mr. Ronald E. Robertson ( Senior Research Psychologist at the American Institute of Behavioural Research and Technology and the former editor in chief of Psychology Today ) Other techniques ( edit ) NDP leader Jack Layton and Bloc Québécois leader Gilles Duceppe greet babies - a traditional campaign activity - at the Fête nationale du Québec in Montreal Writing directly to members of the public ( either via a professional marketing firm or , particularly on a small scale , by volunteers ) By distributing leaflets or selling newspapers Through websites , online communities , and solicited or unsolicited bulk email Through a new technique known as microtargeting that helps identify and target small demographic slices of voters Through a whistlestop tour - a series of brief appearances in several small towns Hampering the ability of political competitors to campaign , by such techniques as counter-rallies , picketing of rival parties ' meetings , or overwhelming rival candidates ' offices with mischievous phone calls ( most political parties in representative democracies publicly distance themselves from such disruptive and morale - affecting tactics , with the exception of those parties self - identifying as activist Organizing political house parties Using endorsements of other celebrated party members to boost support ( see coattail effect ) Remaining close to or at home to make speeches to supporters who come to visit as part of a front porch campaign Vote - by - mail , previously known as `` absentee ballots '' have grown significantly in importance as an election tool . Campaigns in most states must have a strategy in place to impact early voting Sale of official campaign merchandise ( colloquially known as chum , in reference to the baiting technique ) as a way of commuting a competitor 's popularity into campaign donations , volunteer recruitment , and free advertising Campaign types ( edit ) Informational campaign ( edit ) An informational campaign is a political campaign designed to raise public awareness and support for the positions of a candidate ( or his party ) . It is more intense than a paper campaign , which consists of little more than filing the necessary papers to get on the ballot , but is less intense than a competitive campaign , which aims to actually win election to the office . An informational campaign typically focuses on low - cost outreach such as news releases , getting interviewed in the paper , making a brochure for door to door distribution , organizing poll workers , etc . Paper campaign ( edit ) A paper campaign is a political campaign in which the candidate only files the necessary paperwork to appear on the ballot . The purpose of such a token effort may be simply to increase name awareness of a minor political party or to give voters of a certain ideology an opportunity to vote accordingly . It can be a cost - effective means of attracting media coverage . An informational campaign , by contrast , may involve news releases , newspaper interviews , door - to - door campaigning , and organizing polls . As the level of seriousness rises , the marginal cost of reaching more people rises accordingly , due to the high cost of TV commercials , paid staff , etc. which are used by competitive campaigns . Modern election campaigns in the United States ( edit ) Main article : Elections in the United States Types of elections ( edit ) Walter Faulkner , candidate for U.S. Congress in 1938 , campaigns in person with a farmer in Crossville , Tennessee ( photo by Dorothea Lange ) The United States is unusual in that dozens of different offices are filled by election , from drain commissioner to the President of the United States . Elections happen every year on many different dates in many different areas of the country . All federal elections ( that is , elections for president and vice president as well as elections to the House of Representatives and Senate ) are partisan . Elections to most ( but not all ) statewide offices are partisan as well , and all state legislatures except for Nebraska are partisan . Some state and local offices are non-partisan - these often include judicial elections , special district elections ( the most common of which are elections to the school board , and elections to municipal ( town council , city commission , mayor ) and county ( county commission , district attorney , sheriff ) office . In some cases , candidates of the same political party challenging each other and in many cases without any campaign references to political parties , while in other cases , even non-partisan races may take on partisan overtones . Process of campaigning ( edit ) U.S. President Richard Nixon campaigns in 1972 by `` working the crowd '' and shaking hands with supporters . Major campaigns in the United States are often much longer than those in other democracies . Campaigns start anywhere from several months to several years before election day . The first part of any campaign for a candidate is deciding to run . Prospective candidates will often speak with family , friends , professional associates , elected officials , community leaders , and the leaders of political parties before deciding to run . Candidates are often recruited by political parties and lobby groups interested in electing like - minded politicians . During this period , people considering running for office will consider their ability to put together the money , organization , and public image needed to get elected . Many campaigns for major office do not progress past this point as people often do not feel confident in their ability to win . However , some candidates lacking the resources needed for a competitive campaign proceed with an inexpensive paper campaign or informational campaign designed to raise public awareness and support for their positions . Once a person decides to run , they will make a public announcement . This announcement could consist of anything from a simple press release to concerned media outlets to a major media event followed by a speaking tour . It is often well - known to many people that a candidate will run prior to an announcement being made . Campaigns will often be announced and then only officially `` kicked off '' months after active campaigning has begun . Being coy about whether a candidacy is planned is often a deliberate process by a prospective candidate , either to `` test the waters '' or to keep the media 's attention . One of the most important aspects of the major American political campaign is the ability to raise large sums of money , especially early on in the race . Political insiders and donors often judge candidates based on their ability to raise money . Not raising enough money early on can lead to problems later as donors are not willing to give funds to candidates they perceive to be losing , a perception based on their poor fundraising performance . Also during this period , candidates travel around the area they are running in and meet with voters ; speaking to them in large crowds , small groups , or even one - on - one . This allows voters to get a better picture of who a candidate is than that which they read about in the paper or see on television . Campaigns sometimes launch expensive media campaigns during this time to introduce the candidate to voters , although most wait until closer to election day . Campaigns often dispatch volunteers into local communities to meet with voters and persuade people to support the candidate . The volunteers are also responsible for identifying supporters , recruiting them as volunteers or registering them to vote if they are not already registered . The identification of supporters will be useful later as campaigns remind voters to cast their votes . Late in the campaign , campaigns will launch expensive television , radio , and direct mail campaigns aimed at persuading voters to support the candidate . Campaigns will also intensify their grassroots campaigns , coordinating their volunteers in a full court effort to win votes . Voting in the United States often starts weeks before election day as mail - in ballots are a commonly used voting method . Campaigns will often run two persuasion programs , one aimed at mail - in voters and one aimed at the more traditional poll voters . Campaigns for minor office may be relatively simple and inexpensive - talking to local newspapers , giving out campaign signs , and greeting people in the local square . Political consultants ( edit ) Main article : Political consulting Political campaigns in the United States are not merely a civic ritual and occasion for political debate , but a multibillion - dollar industry , dominated by professional political consultants using sophisticated campaign management tools , to an extent far greater than elsewhere in the world . Though the quadrennial presidential election attracts the most attention , the United States has a huge number of elected offices and there is wide variation between different states , counties , and municipalities on which offices are elected and under what procedures . Moreover , unlike democratic politics in much of the rest of the world , the US has relatively weak parties . While parties play a significant role in fundraising and occasionally in drafting people to run , campaigns are ultimately controlled by the individual candidates themselves . Other issues and criticisms ( edit ) Cost of campaign advertising ( edit ) American political campaigns have become heavily reliant on broadcast media and direct mail advertising ( typically designed and purchased through specialized consultants ) . Though virtually all campaign media are sometimes used at all levels ( even candidates for local office have been known to purchase cable TV ads ) , smaller , lower - budget campaigns are typically more focused on direct mail , low - cost advertising ( such as lawn signs ) , and direct voter contact . This reliance on expensive advertising is a leading factor behind the rise in the cost of running for office in the United States . This rising cost is considered by some to discourage those without well - monied connections , or money themselves , from running for office . Independent expenditures ( edit ) Money is raised and spent not only by candidate 's campaign , but also by party committees , political action committees , and other groups ( in the 2004 election cycle , much controversy has focused on a new category of organization , 527 groups ) . This is sometimes done through independent expenditures made in support or opposition of specific candidates but without any candidate 's cooperation or approval . The lack of an overt connection between a candidate and third party groups allows one side of a campaign to attack the other side while avoiding criticism for going negative . A memorable example are the Swift Boat Veterans who criticized John Kerry in the 2004 Presidential campaign . Future developments ( edit ) Many political players and commentators agree that American political campaigns are currently undergoing a period of change , due to increased use of the internet ( which has become a valuable fundraising tool ) which leads to the development of digital marketing in which customers can target by demographic behaviours like age , location , Occupation etc. and digital marketing is cost effective also there are several companies which only for election campaigns are there SCL Elections is one company which helped American President Trump to win the election , RJ Phoenix is one company in India which helped several politicians in Lok sabha and Rajya sabha To win the election contest and the apparently declining effectiveness of television advertising giving more hope for Digital Marketing Election Campaigns. 1 2 3 However , as modern technology continues to adapt to changes in society , Internet campaigning will never be able to serve as a complete replacement for traditional political campaigning without reducing the significant barriers to entry . Internet political campaigning leaves out entire portions of each population because it only is accessible to a certain portion of the population , leaving those without this access disconnected . For example , during Obama 's recent presidential campaign , Internet political campaigning was supposedly effective at reaching the younger population , as they remain engaged with social websites and new media . Because of the limits of technology , Obama 's Internet campaign failed to reach older generations who did n't use this new media , as well as significant amounts of the population who did n't have access . Effects ( edit ) A forthcoming study in the American Political Science Review found that campaigns have `` an average effect of zero in general elections '' . The study found two instances where campaigning was effective : `` First , when candidates take unusually unpopular positions and campaigns invest unusually heavily in identifying persuadable voters . Second , when campaigns contact voters long before election day and measure effects immediately -- although this early persuasion decays . '' Presidential campaigns ( edit ) A large body of political science research emphasizes how `` fundamentals '' - the state of the economy , whether the country is at war , how long the president 's party has held the office , and which candidate is more ideologically moderate - predict presidential election outcomes . However , campaigns may be necessary to enlighten otherwise uninformed voters about the fundamentals , which thus become increasingly predictive of preferences as the campaign progresses . Research suggests that `` the 2012 presidential campaigns increased turnout in highly targeted states by 7 -- 8 percentage points , on average , indicating that modern campaigns can significantly alter the size and composition of the voting population . '' . National conventions ( edit ) A consensus in the political science literature holds that national conventions usually have a measurable effect on presidential elections that is relatively resistant to decay . Presidential and vice-presidential debates ( edit ) Research is mixed on the precise impact of debates . Rather than encourage viewers to update their political views in accordance with the most persuasive arguments , viewers instead update their views to merely reflect what their favored candidate is saying . Presidential primaries ( edit ) The fundamentals matter less in the outcome of presidential primaries . One prominent theory holds that the outcome of presidential primaries is largely determined by the preferences of party elites . Presidential primaries are therefore less predictive , as all kinds of events may impact elites ' perception of the viability of candidates . Gaffes , debates and media narratives play a greater role in primaries than in presidential elections . Strategies ( edit ) Traditional ground campaigning and voter contacts remain the most effective strategies . Some research suggests that knocking on doors can increase turnout by as much as 10 % and phone calls by as much as 4 % . One study suggests that lawn signs increase vote share by 1.7 percentage points . A review of more than 200 get - out - the - vote experiments finds that The most effective tactics are personal : Door - to - door canvassing increases turnout by an average of about 2.5 percentage points ; volunteer phone calls raise it by about 1.9 points , compared to 1.0 points for calls from commercial phone banks ; automated phone messages are ineffective . Each field office that the Obama campaign opened in 2012 gave him approximately a 0.3 % greater vote share . The Obama 2008 campaign 's use of field most offices has been credited as crucial in winning Indiana and North Carolina . According to one study , the cost per vote by having a field office is $49.40 . Using out - of - state volunteers for canvassing is less effective in increasing turnout than using local and trained volunteers . Political science research generally finds negative advertisement ( which has increased over time ) to be ineffective both at reducing the support and turnout for the opponent . According to political scientists Stephen Ansolabehere and Shanto Iyengar , negative ads do succeed at driving down overall turnout though . They also find that `` negative ads work better for Republicans than for Democrats , and better for men than for women ; unfortunately , negative ads also work better in general than positive ones . '' Challengers who spend more time campaigning get a higher vote share against incumbents in state house elections . According to political scientist Lynn Vavreck , `` the evidence suggests that campaign ads have small effects that decay rapidly -- very rapidly -- but just enough of the impact accumulates to make running more advertising than your opponent seem a necessity . '' According to political scientists Donald Green and Alan Gerber , it costs $31 to produce a vote going door to door , $91 - $137 to produce a vote by sending out direct mailers , $47 per vote from leafletting , $58 - $125 per vote from commercial phone banking , and $20 - $35 per vote from voluntary phone banking . A 2018 study in the American Economic Review found that door - to - door canvassing on behalf of the Francois Hollande campaign in the 2012 French presidential election `` did not a � ffect turnout , but increased Hollande 's vote share in the � rst round and accounted for one fourth of his victory margin in the second . Visits ' impact persisted in later elections , suggesting a lasting persuasion e � ffect . '' A 2016 study found that visits by candidate visits to states have modest effects : `` visits are most effective in influencing press coverage at the national level and within battleground states . Visits ' effects on voters themselves , however , are much more modest than consultants often claim , and visits appear to have no effects outside the market that hosts a visit . '' The authors of the study argue that it would be more effective for campaigns to go to the pockets of the country where wealthy donors are ( for fundraising ) and hold rallies in the popolous states both to attract national press and raise funds . A 2005 study found that campaign visits had no statistically significant effect , after controlling for other factors , on voter turnout in the 1992 , 1996 , and 2000 elections . On the other hand , a 2017 paper of the 1948 presidential election provides `` strong evidence that candidate visits can influence electoral returns '' . Other research also provides evidence that campaign visits increase vote share . History ( edit ) Political campaigns have existed as long as there have been informed citizens to campaign amongst . Democratic societies have regular election campaigns , but political campaigning can occur on particular issues even in non-democracies so long as freedom of expression is allowed . Often mass campaigns are started by the less privileged or anti-establishment viewpoints ( as against more powerful interests whose first resort is lobbying ) . The phenomenon of political campaigns are tightly tied to lobby groups and political parties . The first modern campaign is often described as William Ewart Gladstone 's Midlothian campaign in 1878 - 80 , although there may be earlier recognizably modern examples from the 19th century . The 1896 William McKinley presidential campaign laid the groundwork for modern campaigns . In the 1790 - 1820s , the Federalist Party and the Democratic - Republican Party battled it out in the so - called `` First Party System '' . American election campaigns in the 19th century created the first mass - base political parties and invented many of the techniques of mass campaigning .

( November 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) A novel is any relatively long work of narrative fiction , normally in prose , and typically published as a book . The genre has been described as having `` a continuous and comprehensive history of about two thousand years , '' with its origins in classical Greece and Rome , in medieval and early modern romance , and in the tradition of the novella . The latter , an Italian word for a short story to distinguish it from a novel , has been used in English since the 18th century for a work that falls somewhere in between . Ian Watt , in The Rise of the Novel , suggested in 1957 that the novel first came into being in the early 18th century . Miguel de Cervantes author of Don Quixote ( the first part of which was published in 1605 ) , is frequently cited as the first significant European novelist of the modern era . The romance is a closely related long prose narrative . Walter Scott defined it as `` a fictitious narrative in prose or verse ; the interest of which turns upon marvellous and uncommon incidents '' , whereas in the novel `` the events are accommodated to the ordinary train of human events and the modern state of society '' . However , many romances , including the historical romances of Scott , Emily Brontë 's Wuthering Heights and Herman Melville 's Moby - Dick , are also frequently called novels , and Scott describes romance as a `` kindred term '' . Romance , as defined here , should not be confused with the genre fiction love romance or romance novel . Other European languages do not distinguish between romance and novel : `` a novel is le roman , der Roman , il romanzo .

The novel in the modern era usually makes use of a literary prose style , and the development of the prose novel at this time was encouraged by innovations in printing , and the introduction of cheap paper , in the 15th century . The present English ( and Spanish ) word for a long work of prose fiction derives from the Italian novella for `` new '' , `` news '' , or `` short story of something new '' , itself from the Latin novella , a singular noun use of the neuter plural of novellus , diminutive of novus , meaning `` new '' . Most European languages use the word `` romance '' ( as in French , Dutch , Russian , Slovene , Serbo - Croatian , Romanian , Danish , Swedish and Norwegian `` roman '' ; Finnish `` romaani '' ; German `` Roman '' ; Portuguese `` romance '' and Italian `` romanzo '' ) for extended narratives . A fictional narrative ( edit ) Fictionality is most commonly cited as distinguishing novels from historiography . However this can be a problematic criterion . Throughout the early modern period authors of historical narratives would often include inventions rooted in traditional beliefs in order to embellish a passage of text or add credibility to an opinion . Historians would also invent and compose speeches for didactic purposes . Novels can , on the other hand , depict the social , political and personal realities of a place and period with clarity and detail not found in works of history . Literary prose ( edit ) While prose rather than verse became the standard of the modern novel , the ancestors of the modern European novel include verse epics in the Romance language of southern France , especially those by Chrétien de Troyes ( late 12th century ) , and in Middle English ( Geoffrey Chaucer 's ( c. 1343 -- 1400 ) The Canterbury Tales ) . Even in the 19th century , fictional narratives in verse , such as Lord Byron 's Don Juan ( 1824 ) , Alexander Pushkin 's Yevgeniy Onegin ( 1833 ) , and Elizabeth Barrett Browning 's Aurora Leigh ( 1856 ) , competed with prose novels . Vikram Seth 's The Golden Gate ( 1986 ) , composed of 590 Onegin stanzas , is a more recent example of the verse novel . Content : intimate experience ( edit ) Both in 12th - century Japan and 15th - century Europe , prose fiction created intimate reading situations . On the other hand , verse epics , including the Odyssey and Aeneid , had been recited to a select audiences , though this was a more intimate experience than the performance of plays in theaters . A new world of individualistic fashion , personal views , intimate feelings , secret anxieties , `` conduct , '' and `` gallantry '' spread with novels and the associated prose - romance . Length ( edit ) See also : List of longest novels The novel is today the longest genre of narrative prose fiction , followed by the novella . However , in the 17th century , critics saw the romance as of epic length and the novel as its short rival . A precise definition of the differences in length between these types of fiction , is , however , not possible. The requirement of length has been traditionally connected with the notion that a novel should encompass the `` totality of life .

( March 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) See also : Ancient Greek novel and Byzantine novel Paper as the essential carrier : Murasaki Shikibu writing her The Tale of Genji in the early 11th century , 17th - century depiction Although early forms of the novel are to be found in a number of places , including classical Rome , 10th -- and 11th - century Japan , and Elizabethan England , the European novel is often said to have begun with Don Quixote in 1605 . Early works of extended fictional prose , or novels , include works in Latin like the Satyricon by Petronius ( c. 50 AD ) , and The Golden Ass by Apuleius ( c. 150 AD ) , works in Ancient Greek such as Daphnis and Chloe by Longus ( c. late second century AD ) , works in Sanskrit such as the 6th -- or 7th - century Daśakumāracarita by Daṇḍin , and in the 7th - century Kadambari by Banabhatta , Murasaki Shikibu 's 11th - century Japanese work The Tale of Genji , the 12th - century Hayy ibn Yaqdhan ( or Philosophus Autodidactus , the 17th - century Latin title ) by Ibn Tufail , who wrote in Arabic , the 13th - century Theologus Autodidactus by Ibn al - Nafis , another Arabic novelist , and Blanquerna , written in Catalan by Ramon Llull ( 1283 ) , and the 14th - century Chinese Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong . Murasaki Shikibu 's Tale of Genji ( 1010 ) has been described as the world 's first novel and shows essentially all the qualities for which Marie de La Fayette 's novel La Princesse de Clèves ( 1678 ) has been praised : individuality of perception , an interest in character development , and psychological observation . Urbanization and the spread of printed books in Song Dynasty ( 960 - 1279 ) China led to the evolution of oral storytelling into consciously fictional novels by the Ming dynasty ( 1368 -- 1644 ) . Parallel European developments did not occur for centuries , and awaited the time when the availability of paper allowed for similar opportunities . By contrast , Ibn Tufail 's Hayy ibn Yaqdhan and Ibn al - Nafis ' Theologus Autodidactus are works of didactic philosophy and theology . In this sense , Hayy ibn Yaqdhan would be considered an early example of a philosophical novel , while Theologus Autodidactus would be considered an early theological novel . Hayy ibn Yaqdhan , with its story of a human outcast surviving on an island , is also likely to have influenced Daniel Defoe 's Robinson Crusoe ( 1719 ) , because the work was available in an English edition in 1711 . Epic poetry exhibits some similarities with the novel , and the Western tradition of the novel reaches back into the field of verse epics , though again not in an unbroken tradition . The epics of Asia , such as the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh ( 1300 -- 1000 BC ) , and Indian epics such as the Ramayana ( 400 BCE and 200 CE ) , and Mahabharata ( 4th century BC ) were as unknown in early modern Europe as was the Anglo - Saxon epic of Beowulf ( c. 750 -- 1000 AD ) , which was rediscovered in the late 18th century and early 19th century . Other non-European works , such as the Torah , the Koran , and the Bible , are full of stories , and thus have also had a significant influence on the development of prose narratives , and therefore the novel . Then at the beginning of the 18th century , French prose translations brought Homer 's works to a wider public , who accepted them as forerunners of the novel . Classical Greek and Roman prose narratives included a didactic strand , with the philosopher Plato 's ( c. 425 - c. 348 BC ) dialogues ; a satirical dimension with Petronius ' Satyricon ; the incredible stories of Lucian of Samosata ; and Lucius Apuleius ' proto - picaresque The Golden Ass , as well as the heroic romances of the Greeks Heliodorus and Longus . Longus is the author of the famous Greek novel , Daphnis and Chloe ( 2nd century A.D. ) . Medieval period 1100 -- 1500 ( edit ) Chivalric romances ( edit ) Main article : Chivalric romance Chaucer reciting Troilus and Criseyde : early - 15th - century manuscript of the work at Corpus Christi College , Cambridge Romance or chivalric romance is a type of narrative in prose or verse popular in the aristocratic circles of High Medieval and Early Modern Europe . They were marvel - filled adventures , often of a knight - errant with heroic qualities , who undertakes a quest , yet it is `` the emphasis on heterosexual love and courtly manners distinguishes it from the chanson de geste and other kinds of epic , which involve heroism . '' In later romances , particularly those of French origin , there is a marked tendency to emphasize themes of courtly love . Originally , romance literature was written in Old French , Anglo - Norman and Occitan , later , in English , Italian and German . During the early 13th century , romances were increasingly written as prose . The shift from verse to prose dates from the early 13th century . The Prose Lancelot or Vulgate Cycle includes passages from that period . This collection indirectly led to Thomas Malory 's Le Morte d'Arthur of the early 1470s . Prose became increasingly attractive because it enabled writers to associate popular stories with serious histories traditionally composed in prose , and could also be more easily translated . Popular literature also drew on themes of romance , but with ironic , satiric or burlesque intent . Romances reworked legends , fairy tales , and history , but by about 1600 they were out of fashion , and Miguel de Cervantes famously burlesqued them in Don Quixote ( 1605 ) . Still , the modern image of medieval is more influenced by the romance than by any other medieval genre , and the word `` medieval '' evokes knights , distressed damsels , dragons , and such tropes . Around 1800 , the connotations of `` romance '' was modified with the development Gothic fiction . The novella ( edit ) Main article : Novella The term novel refers back to the production of short stories that remained part of a European oral culture of storytelling into the late 19th century . Fairy tales , jokes , and humorous stories designed to make a point in a conversation , and the exemplum a priest would insert in a sermon belong into this tradition . Written collections of such stories circulated in a wide range of products from practical compilations of examples designed for the use of clerics to compilations of various stories such as Boccaccio 's Decameron ( 1354 ) and Geoffrey Chaucer 's Canterbury Tales ( 1386 -- 1400 ) . The Decameron ( 1354 ) was a compilation of one hundred novelle told by ten people -- seven women and three men -- fleeing the Black Death by escaping from Florence to the Fiesole hills , in 1348 . Renaissance period : 1500 - 1700 ( edit ) 1474 : The customer in the copyist 's shop with a book he wants to have copied . This illustration of the first printed German Melusine looked back to the market of manuscripts . The modern distinction between history and fiction did not exist at this time and the grossest improbabilities pervade many historical accounts found in the early modern print market . William Caxton 's 1485 edition of Thomas Malory 's Le Morte d'Arthur ( 1471 ) was sold as a true history , though the story unfolded in a series of magical incidents and historical improbabilities . Sir John Mandeville 's Voyages , written in the 14th century , but circulated in printed editions throughout the 18th century , was filled with natural wonders , which were accepted as fact , like the one - footed Ethiopians who use their extremity as an umbrella against the desert sun . Both works eventually came to be viewed as works of fiction . In the 16th and 17th centuries two factors led to the separation of history and fiction . The invention of printing immediately created a new market of comparatively cheap entertainment and knowledge in the form of chapbooks . The more elegant production of this genre by 17th - and 18th - century authors were belles lettres -- that is , a market that would be neither low nor academic . The second major development was the first best - seller of modern fiction , the Spanish Amadis de Gaula , by García Montalvo . However , it was not accepted as an example of belles lettres . The Amadis eventually became the archetypical romance , in contrast with the modern novel which began to be developed in the 17th century . Chapbooks ( edit ) Main article : Chapbook A chapbook is an early type of popular literature printed in early modern Europe . Produced cheaply , chapbooks were commonly small , paper - covered booklets , usually printed on a single sheet folded into books of 8 , 12 , 16 and 24 pages . They were often illustrated with crude woodcuts , which sometimes bore no relation to the text . When illustrations were included in chapbooks , they were considered popular prints . The tradition arose in the 16th century , as soon as printed books became affordable , and rose to its height during the 17th and 18th centuries and Many different kinds of ephemera and popular or folk literature were published as chapbooks , such as almanacs , children 's literature , folk tales , nursery rhymes , pamphlets , poetry , and political and religious tracts . The term `` chapbook '' for this type of literature was coined in the 19th century . The corresponding French and German terms are bibliothèque bleue ( blue book ) and Volksbuch , respectively . The principal historical subject matter of chapbooks was abridgements of ancient historians , popular medieval histories of knights , stories of comical heroes , religious legends , and collections of jests and fables . The new printed books reached the households of urban citizens and country merchants who visited the cities as traders . Cheap printed histories were , in the 17th and 18th centuries , especially popular among apprentices and younger urban readers of both sexes . The early modern market , from the 1530s and 1540s , divided into low chapbooks and high market expensive , fashionable , elegant belles lettres . The Amadis and Rabelais ' Gargantua and Pantagruel were important publications with respect to this divide . Both books specifically addressed the new customers of popular histories , rather than readers of belles lettres . The Amadis was a multi -- volume fictional history of style , that aroused a debate about style and elegance as it became the first best - seller of popular fiction . On the other hand , Gargantua and Pantagruel , while it adopted the form of modern popular history , in fact satirized that genre 's stylistic achievements . The division , between low and high literature , became especially visible with books that appeared on both the popular and belles lettres markets in the course of the 17th and 18th centuries : low chapbooks included abridgments of books such as Miguel Cervantes ' Don Quixote ( 1605 / 1615 ) The term `` chapbook '' is also in use for present - day publications , commonly short , inexpensive booklets . Heroic romances ( edit ) Main articles : Heroic romances and 17th - century French literature Heroic Romance is a genre of imaginative literature , which flourished in the 17th century , principally in France . The beginnings of modern fiction in France took a pseudo-bucolic form , and the celebrated L'Astrée , ( 1610 ) of Honore d'Urfe ( 1568 - 1625 ) , which is the earliest French novel , is properly styled a pastoral . Although its action was , in the main , languid and sentimental , there was a side of the Astree which encouraged that extravagant love of glory , that spirit of `` panache , '' which was now rising to its height in France . That spirit it was which animated Marin le Roy de Gomberville ( 1603 - 1674 ) , who was the inventor of what have since been known as the Heroical Romances . In these there was experienced a violent recrudescence of the old medieval elements of romance , the impossible valour devoted to a pursuit of the impossible beauty , but the whole clothed in the language and feeling and atmosphere of the age in which the books were written . In order to give point to the chivalrous actions of the heroes , it was always hinted that they were well - known public characters of the day in a romantic disguise . Satirical romances ( edit ) Richard Head , The English Rogue ( 1665 ) Stories of witty cheats were an integral part of the European novella with its tradition of fabliaux . Significant examples include Till Eulenspiegel ( 1510 ) , Lazarillo de Tormes ( 1554 ) , Grimmelshausen 's Simplicissimus Teutsch ( 1666 -- 1668 ) and in England Richard Head 's The English Rogue ( 1665 ) . The tradition that developed with these titles focused on a hero and his life . The adventures led to satirical encounters with the real world with the hero either becoming the pitiable victim or the rogue who exploited the vices of those he met . A second tradition of satirical romances can be traced back to Heinrich Wittenwiler 's Ring ( c. 1410 ) and to François Rabelais ' Gargantua and Pantagruel ( 1532 -- 1564 ) , which parodied and satirized heroic romances , and did this mostly by dragging them into the low realm of the burlesque . Cervantes ' Don Quixote ( 1606 / 1615 ) modified the satire of romances : its hero lost contact with reality by reading too many romances in the Amadisian tradition . Other important works of the tradition are Paul Scarron 's Roman Comique ( 1651 -- 57 ) , the anonymous French Rozelli with its satire on Europe 's religions , Alain - René Lesage 's Gil Blas ( 1715 -- 1735 ) , Henry Fielding 's Joseph Andrews ( 1742 ) and Tom Jones ( 1749 ) , and Denis Diderot 's Jacques the Fatalist ( 1773 , printed posthumously in 1796 ) . Histories ( edit ) 1719 newspaper reprint of Robinson Crusoe A market of literature in the modern sense of the word , that is a separate market for fiction and poetry , did not exist until the late seventeenth century . All books were sold under the rubric of `` History and politicks '' in the early 18th century , including pamphlets , memoirs , travel literature , political analysis , serious histories , romances , poetry , and novels . That fictional histories shared the same space with academic histories and modern journalism had been criticized by historians since the end of the Middle Ages : fictions were `` lies '' and therefore hardly justifiable at all . The climate , however , changed in the 1670s . The romance format of the quasi -- historical works of Madame d'Aulnoy , César Vichard de Saint - Réal , Gatien de Courtilz de Sandras , and Anne - Marguerite Petit du Noyer , allowed the publication of histories that dared not risk an unambiguous assertion of their truth . The literary market - place of the late 17th and early 18th century employed a simple pattern of options whereby fictions could reach out into the sphere of true histories . This permitted its authors to claim they had published fiction , not truth , if they ever faced allegations of libel . Prefaces and title pages of 17th -- and early 18th - century fiction acknowledged this pattern : histories could claim to be romances , but threaten to relate true events , as in the Roman à clef . Other works could , conversely , claim to be factual histories , yet earn the suspicion that they were wholly invented . A further differentiation was made between private and public history : Daniel Defoe 's Robinson Crusoe was , within this pattern , neither a `` romance '' nor a `` novel '' . It smelled of romance , yet the preface stated that it should most certainly be read as a true private history . Cervantes and the modern novel ( edit ) See also : Picaresque novel The rise of the novel as an alternative to the romance began with the publication of Cervantes Novelas Exemplares ( 1613 ) . It continued with Scarron 's Roman Comique ( the first part of which appeared in 1651 ) , whose heroes noted the rivalry between French romances and the new Spanish genre . Late 17th - century critics looked back on the history of prose fiction , proud of the generic shift that had taken place , leading towards the modern novel / novella . The first perfect works in French were those of Scarron and Madame de La Fayette 's `` Spanish history '' Zayde ( 1670 ) . The development finally led to her Princesse de Clèves ( 1678 ) , the first novel with what would become characteristic French subject matter . Europe witnessed the generic shift in the titles of works in French published in Holland , which supplied the international market and English publishers exploited the novel / romance controversy in the 1670s and 1680s . Contemporary critics listed the advantages of the new genre : brevity , a lack of ambition to produce epic poetry in prose ; the style was fresh and plain ; the focus was on modern life , and on heroes who were neither good nor bad . The novel 's potential to become the medium of urban gossip and scandal fuelled the rise of the novel / novella . Stories were offered as allegedly true recent histories , not for the sake of scandal but strictly for the moral lessons they gave . To prove this , fictionalized names were used with the true names in a separate key . The Mercure Gallant set the fashion in the 1670s . Collections of letters and memoirs appeared , and were filled with the intriguing new subject matter and the epistolary novel grew from this and led to the first full blown example of scandalous fiction in Aphra Behn 's Love - Letters Between a Nobleman and His Sister ( 1684 / 1685 / 1687 ) . Before the rise of the literary novel , reading novels had only been a form of entertainment . However , one of the earliest English novels , Daniel Defoe 's Robinson Crusoe ( 1719 ) , has elements of the romance , unlike these novels , because of its exotic setting and story of survival in isolation . Crusoe lacks almost all of the elements found in these new novels : wit , a fast narration evolving around a group of young fashionable urban heroes , along with their intrigues , a scandalous moral , gallant talk to be imitated , and a brief , conciseness plot . The new developments did , however , lead to Eliza Haywood 's epic length novel , Love in Excess ( 1719 / 20 ) and to Samuel Richardson 's Pamela , or Virtue Rewarded ( 1741 ) . Some literary historians date the beginning of the English novel with Richardson 's Pamela , rather than Crusoe . 18th century novel ( edit ) Main article : Augustan prose The idea of the `` rise of the novel '' in the 18th century is especially associated with Ian Watt 's important study The Rise of the Novel ( 1957 ) . Given these differences in opinion , what happened in the 18th century can best be described , not as the rise of the novel , but the rise of realism in fiction . Indeed , this is what Ian Watt sees as distinguishing the novel from earlier prose narratives . Laurence Sterne , Tristram Shandy , vol. 6 , p. 70 - 71 ( 1769 ) Philosophical novel ( edit ) Main article : Philosophical fiction The new 18th - century status of the novel as an object of debate is manifested in the development of philosophical and experimental novels . Philosophical fiction was not exactly new . Plato 's dialogues were embedded in fictional narratives . Utopias had added to this production with works from Thomas More 's Utopia ( 1516 ) to Tommaso Campanella 's City of the Sun ( 1602 ) . Works such as these had not been read as novels or romances but as philosophical texts . The 1740s saw new editions of More 's work under the title that created the tradition : Utopia : or the happy republic ; a philosophical romance ( 1743 ) . Voltaire utilised the romance to write philosophy in Micromegas : a comic romance . Being a severe satire upon the philosophy , ignorance , and self - conceit of mankind ( 1752 , English 1753 ) . His Zadig ( 1747 ) and Candide ( 1759 ) became central texts of the French Enlightenment and of the modern novel . Jean - Jacques Rousseau bridged the genres with his less fictional Emile : or , On Education ( 1762 ) . Laurence Sterne 's The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy , Gentleman ( 1759 -- 1767 ) is an experimental work which rejects continuous narration . In it the author not only addresses the reader in his preface but speaks directly to him or her in his fictional narrative . In addition to his narrative experiments , Sterne has visual experiments , such as a marbled page , a black page to express sorrow , and a page of lines to show the plot lines of the book . Jonathan Swift 's A Tale of a Tub ( 1704 ) was an early precursor in this field . The romance genre in the 18th century ( edit ) Samuel Richardson 's Pamela ( 1741 ) The rise of the word novel at the cost of its rival , the romance , remained a Spanish and English phenomenon , and though readers all over Western Europe had welcomed the novel ( la ) or short history as an alternative in the second half of the 17th century , only the English and the Spanish had , however , openly discredited the romance . But the change of taste was brief and Fénelon 's Telemachus ( 1699 / 1700 ) already exploited a nostalgia for the old romances with their heroism and professed virtue . Jane Barker explicitly advertised her Exilius as `` A new Romance '' , `` written after the Manner of Telemachus '' , in 1715 . Robinson Crusoe spoke of his own story as a `` romance '' , though in the preface to the third volume , published in 1720 , Defoe attacks all who said `` that ( ... ) the Story is feign 'd , that the Names are borrow 'd , and that it is all a Romance ; that there never were any such Man or Place '' . The late 18th century brought an answer with the Romantic Movement 's readiness to reclaim the word romance , especially with the gothic romance , but the historical novels of Walter Scott also have a strong romance element . Robinson Crusoe became a `` novel '' in this period appearing now as a work of the new realistic fiction that the 18th century had created . Throughout the 19th century , romances continued to be written in Britain by writers like Emily Brontë , and in America by the dark romantic novelists Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville . The sentimental novel ( edit ) Main article : Sentimental novel Sentimental novels relied on emotional responses , both from their readers and characters . They feature scenes of distress and tenderness , and the plot is arranged to advance emotions rather than action . The result is a valorization of `` fine feeling , '' displaying the characters as a model for refined , sensitive emotional effect . The ability to display feelings was thought to show character and experience , and to shape social life and relations . An example of this genre of fiction is Samuel Richardson 's Pamela , or Virtue Rewarded ( 1740 ) , composed `` to cultivate the Principles of Virtue and Religion in the Minds of the Youth of Both Sexes '' focuses on the potential victim , a heroine of all the modern virtues vulnerable through her social status and her occupation as servant of the libertine who falls in love with her . Eventually , she shows the power to reform her antagonist . Male heroes adopted the new sentimental character traits in the 1760s . Laurence Sterne 's Yorick , the hero of the Sentimental Journey ( 1768 ) did so with an enormous amount of humour . Oliver Goldsmith 's Vicar of Wakefield ( 1766 ) and Henry Mackenzie 's Man of Feeling ( 1771 ) produced the far more serious role models . The virtuous production inspired a sub - and counterculture of pornographic novels . Greek and Latin authors in modern translations had provided elegant transgressions on the market of the belles lettres for the last century . Satirical novels like Richard Head 's English Rogue ( 1665 ) had led their heroes through urban brothels , women authors like Aphra Behn had offered their heroines alternative careers as precursors of the 19th - century femmes fatales -- without creating a subculture . The market for belles lettres had been openly transgressive as long as it did not find any reflections in other media . The new production beginning with works like John Cleland 's Fanny Hill ( 1748 ) differed in that it offered almost exact reversals of the plot lines the virtuous production demanded . Fanny Hill is introduced to a life of prostitution , learns to enjoy her part and establishes herself as a free and economically independent individual , in editions one could only expect to buy under the counter . Openly uncontrollable conflicts arrived in the 1770s with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 's The Sorrows of Young Werther ( 1774 ) . The titular hero realised how impossible it had become for him to integrate into the new conformist society . Pierre Choderlos de Laclos 's Les Liaisons dangereuses ( 1782 ) shows the other extreme , with a group of aristocrats playing games of intrigue and amorality . The social context of the 18th century novel ( edit ) Changing cultural status ( edit ) By around 1700 , fiction was no longer a predominantly aristocratic entertainment , and printed books had soon gained the power to reach readers of almost all classes , though the reading habits differed and to follow fashions remained a privilege . Spain was a trendsetter into the 1630s but French authors superseded Cervantes , de Quevedo , and Alemán in the 1640s . As Huet was to note in 1670 , the change was one of manners . The new French works taught a new , on the surface freer , gallant exchange between the sexes as the essence of life at the French court . The situation changed again from 1660s into the 1690s when works by French authors were published in Holland out of the reach of French censors . Dutch publishing houses pirated of fashionable books from France and created a new market of political and scandalous fiction . This led to a market of European rather than French fashions in the early 18th century . Intimate short stories : The Court and City Vagaries ( 1711 ) . By the 1680s fashionable political European novels had inspired a second wave of private scandalous publications and generated new productions of local importance . Women authors reported on politics and on their private love affairs in The Hague and in London . German students imitated them to boast of their private amours in fiction . The London , the anonymous international market of the Netherlands , publishers in Hamburg and Leipzig generated new public spheres . Once private individuals , such as students in university towns and daughters of London 's upper class began write novels based on questionable reputations , the public began to call for a reformation of manners . Reform became the main goal of the second generation of 18th - century novelists who , by the mid-century , openly welcomed the change of climate that had first been promoted in journals such as The Spectator . The Spectator Number 10 had stated that the aim was now `` to enliven morality with wit , and to temper wit with morality ( ... ) to bring philosophy out of the closets and libraries , schools and colleges , to dwell in clubs and assemblies , at tea - tables and coffeehouses '' ) . Constructive criticism of novels had until then been rare . The first treatise on the history of the novel was a preface to Marie de La Fayette 's novel Zayde ( 1670 ) . New journals like The Spectator and The Tatler at the beginning of the century had reviews of novels . New `` literary journals '' like Gotthold Ephraim Lessing 's Briefe , die neuste Literatur betreffend ( 1758 ) appeared in the middle of the century with reviews of art and fiction . By the 1780s reviews played had an important role in introducing new works of fiction to the public . A later development was the introduction of novels into school curricula and later that of universities . The acceptance of novels as literature ( edit ) The French churchman and scholar Pierre Daniel Huet 's Traitté de l'origine des romans ( 1670 ) laid the ground for a greater acceptance of the novel as literature in the early 18th century . The theologian had not only dared to praise fictions , but he had also explained techniques of theological reading , for the interpretation of fiction , which was a novelty : an individual could read novels and romances to gain insight into foreign and distant cultures as well as into his or her own culture . The decades around 1700 saw the appearance of new editions of Petronius , Lucian , and Heliodorus of Emesa . The publishers equipped them with prefaces that referred to Huet 's treatise. and the canon it had established . Exotic fictions entered the market that gave insight into the Islamic mind . Furthermore , The Book of One Thousand and One Nights was first published in Europe from 1704 to 1715 in French , and then translated immediately into English and German , and was seen as a contribution to Huet 's history of romances . New classics were added to the market and the English , Select Collection of Novels in six volumes ( 1720 -- 22 ) , is a milestone in this development . It included Huet 's Treatise , along with the European tradition of the modern novel of the day : that is , novella from Machiavelli 's to Marie de La Fayette 's masterpieces . Aphra Behn 's prose fictions had appeared as `` novels '' in the 1680s but when reprinted in collections , her works became classics . Fénelon 's Telemachus ( 1699 / 1700 ) became a classic within three years after its publication . New authors now entered the market ready to use their own personal names as authors of fiction . Eliza Haywood followed the footsteps of Aphra Behn when , in 1719 , she used her name with unprecedented pride . 19th century novel ( edit ) Romanticism ( edit ) Main article : Romanticism See also : Newgate novel Image from a Victorian edition of Walter Scott 's Waverley The very word romanticism is connected to the idea of romance , and the romance genre experienced a revival , at the end of the 18th century , with gothic fiction . The origin of the gothic romance is attributed to English author Horace Walpole , with his 1764 novel The Castle of Otranto , subtitled ( in its second edition ) `` A Gothic Story '' . Other important works are Ann Radcliffe 's The Mysteries of Udolpho ( 1794 ) and ' Monk ' Lewis 's The Monk ( 1795 ) . The new romances challenged the idea that the novel involved a realistic depictions of life , and destabilized the difference the critics had been trying to establish , between serious classical art and popular fiction . Gothic romances exploited the grotesque , and some critics thought that their subject matter deserved less credit than the worst medieval tales of Arthurian knighthood , and that if the Amadis had troubled Don Quixote with curious fantasies , the new romantic tales were worse : they described a nightmare world , and explored sexual fantasies . The authors of this new type of fiction could be ( and were ) accused of exploiting all available topics to thrill , arouse , or horrify their audience . These new romantic novelists , at the same time , claimed to explore the entire realm of fictionality . New , psychological interpreters , in the early 19th century , read these works as encounters with the deeper hidden truth of the human imagination : this included sexuality , anxieties , and insatiable desires . Under such psychological readings , novels were described as exploring deeper human motives , and it was suggested that such artistic freedom would reveal what had not previously been openly visible . The romances of de Sade , Les 120 Journées de Sodome ( 1785 ) , Poe 's Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque ( 1840 ) , Mary Shelley , Frankenstein ( 1818 ) , and E.T.A. Hoffmann , Die Elixiere des Teufels ( 1815 ) , would later attract 20th - century psychoanalysts and supply the images for 20th - and 21st - century horror films , love romances , fantasy novels , role - playing computer games , and the surrealists . The ancient romancers most commonly wrote fiction about the remote past with little attention to historical reality . Walter Scott 's historical novel Waverley ( 1814 ) broke with this earlier tradition of historical romance , and he was `` the inventor of the true historical novel '' . At the same time he was a romantic and was influenced by gothic romance . He had collaborated `` with the most famous of the Gothic novelists ' Monk ' Lewis '' on Tales of Wonder in 1801 . With his Waverley novels Scott `` hoped to do for the Scottish border '' what Goethe and other German poets `` had done for the Middle Ages , `` and make its past live again in modern romance '' . Scott 's novels `` are in the mode he himself defined as romance , ' the interest of which turns upon marvelous and uncommon incidents ' '' . He used his imagination to re-evaluate history by rendering things , incidents and protagonists in the way only the novelist could do . His work remained historical fiction , yet it questioned existing historical perceptions . The use of historical research was an important tool : Scott , the novelist , resorted to documentary sources as any historian would have done , but as a romantic artist he gave his subject a deeper imaginative and emotional significance . By combining research with `` marvelous and uncommon incidents '' , Scott attracted a far wider market than any historian could , and he became the most famous novelist of his generation , throughout Europe . The Victorian period : 1837 -- 1901 ( edit ) Main articles : French literature of the 19th century and Victorian literature See also : Sensation novel In the 19th century the relationship between authors , publishers , and readers , changed . Most of the early 18th - century fiction had been published anonymously . Authors had offered their manuscripts and received all the payment to be expected for the manuscript . The new copyright laws introduced in the 18th and 19th centuries promised royalties on all future editions . Another change in the 19th century was that novelists began to read their works in theaters , halls , and bookshops . Fiction was altered by these changes , including the creation of more difficult works . New novels also addressed openly current political and social issues , which were being discussed in newspapers and magazines . The idea of responsibility became a key issue , whether of the citizen , or of the artist . The theoretical debate concentrated on questions around the moral soundness of the modern novel , on the integrity of individual artists , as well as the claims of aesthetes like as Oscar Wilde and Algernon Charles Swinburne , who proposed the idea of `` art for art 's sake '' . In this period the market for popular fiction grew , and competed with works of literature . New institutions like the circulating library create a new market with a mass reading public . Major British writers such as Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy were influenced by the romance genre tradition of the novel . The Brontë sisters were notable mid-19th - century creators in this tradition , with Anne Brontë 's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall , Charlotte Brontë 's Jane Eyre and Emily Brontë 's Wuthering Heights . Publishing at the very end of the 19th century , Joseph Conrad has been called , `` a supreme ' romancer ' '' . In America `` the romance ... proved to be a serious , flexible , and successful medium for the exploration of philosophical ideas and attitudes . '' Notable examples include Nathaniel Hawthorne 's The Scarlet Letter , and Herman Melville 's Moby - Dick . A number of European novelists were influenced during this period by the earlier Romantic Movement , including Victor Hugo , with novels like The Hunchback of Notre - Dame ( 1831 ) and Les Misérables ( 1862 ) , and Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov with A Hero of Our Time ( 1840 ) . Harriet Beecher Stowe 's Uncle Tom 's Cabin ( 1852 ) Many 19th - century authors dealt with significant social matters . Émile Zola 's novels depicted the world of the working classes , which Marx and Engels 's non-fiction explores . In the United States slavery and racism became topics of far broader public debate thanks to Harriet Beecher Stowe 's Uncle Tom 's Cabin ( 1852 ) , which dramatizes topics that had previously been discussed mainly in the abstract . Charles Dickens ' novels led his readers into contemporary workhouses , and provided first - hand accounts of child labor . The treatment of the subject of war changed with Leo Tolstoy 's War and Peace ( 1868 / 69 ) , where he questions the facts provided by historians . Similarly the treatment of crime is very different in Fyodor Dostoyevsky 's Crime and Punishment ( 1866 ) , where the point of view is that of a criminal . Women authors had dominated fiction from the 1640s into the early 18th century , but few before George Eliot so openly questioned the role , education , and status of women in society , as she did . As the novel became a platform of modern debate , national literatures were developed that link the present with the past in the form of the historical novel . Alessandro Manzoni 's I Promessi Sposi ( 1827 ) did this for Italy , while novelists in Russia and the surrounding Slavonic countries , as well as Scandinavia , did likewise . Along with this new appreciation of history , the future also became a topic for fiction . This had been done earlier in works like Samuel Madden 's Memoirs of the Twentieth Century ( 1733 ) and Mary Shelley 's The Last Man ( 1826 ) , a work whose plot culminated in the catastrophic last days of a mankind extinguished by the plague . Edward Bellamy 's Looking Backward ( 1887 ) and H.G. Wells 's The Time Machine ( 1895 ) were concerned with technological and biological developments . Industrialization , Darwin 's theory of evolution and Marx 's theory of class divisions shaped these works and turned historical processes into a subject of wide debate . Bellamy 's Looking Backward became the second best - selling book of the 19th century after Harriet Beecher - Stowe 's Uncle Tom 's Cabin . Such works led to the development of a whole genre of popular science fiction as the 20th century approached .

( February 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) James Joyce 's Ulysses ( 1922 ) had a major influence on modern novelists , in the way that it replaced the 18th - and 19th - century narrator with a text that attempted to record inner thoughts : a `` stream of consciousness '' . This term was first used by William James in 1890 and is used ( or the related interior monologue ) by modernists like Dorothy Richardson , Marcel Proust , as well as , later Virginia Woolf and William Faulkner . Also in the 1920s expressionist Alfred Döblin went in a different direction with Berlin Alexanderplatz ( 1929 ) , where interspersed non-fictional text fragments exist alongside the fictional material to create another new form of realism , which differs from that of stream - of - consciousness . Later works like Samuel Beckett 's trilogy Molloy ( 1951 ) , Malone Dies ( 1951 ) and The Unnamable ( 1953 ) , as well as Julio Cortázar 's Rayuela ( 1963 ) and Thomas Pynchon 's Gravity 's Rainbow ( 1973 ) all make use of the stream - of - consciousness technique . On the other hand , Robert Coover is an example of those authors , who the 1960s , fragmented their stories and challenged time and sequentiality as fundamental structural concepts . Chinua Achebe , Buffalo , 2008 The 20th century novels deals with a wide range of subject matter . Erich Maria Remarque 's All Quiet on the Western Front ( 1928 ) focusses on young German 's experiences of World War I . The Jazz Age is explored by American F. Scott Fitzgerald , and the Great Depression by fellow American John Steinbeck . The rise of totalitarian states is the subject of British writer George Orwell . France 's existentialism is the subject of French writers Jean - Paul Sartre 's Nausea ( 1938 ) and Albert Camus ' The Stranger ( 1942 ) . The counterculture of the 1960s led to revived interest in Hermann Hesse 's Steppenwolf ( 1927 ) , and produced such iconic works of its own like Ken Kesey 's One Flew Over the Cuckoo 's Nest and Thomas Pynchon 's Gravity 's Rainbow . Novelist have also been interested in the subject of racial and gender identity in recent decades . Jesse Kavadlo of Maryville University of St. Louis has described Chuck Palahniuk 's Fight Club ( 1996 ) as `` a closeted feminist critique '' . Virginia Woolf , Simone de Beauvoir , Doris Lessing , Elfriede Jelinek were feminist voices during this period . Furthermore , the major political and military confrontations of the 20th and 21st centuries have also influenced novelists . The events of World War II , from a German perspective , are dealt with by Günter Grass ' The Tin Drum ( 1959 ) and an American by Joseph Heller 's Catch - 22 ( 1961 ) . The subsequent Cold War influenced popular spy novels . Latin American self - awareness in the wake of the ( failing ) left revolutions of the 1960s and 1970s resulted in a `` Latin American Boom '' , linked to with the names of novelists Julio Cortázar , Mario Vargas Llosa , Carlos Fuentes and Gabriel García Márquez , along with the invention of a special brand of postmodern magic realism . Another major 20th - century social events , the so - called sexual revolution is reflected in the modern novel . D.H. Lawrence 's Lady Chatterley 's Lover had to be published in Italy in 1928 ; British censorship lifted its ban as late as 1960 . Henry Miller 's Tropic of Cancer ( 1934 ) created the comparable US scandal . Transgressive fiction from Vladimir Nabokov 's Lolita ( 1955 ) to Michel Houellebecq 's Les Particules élémentaires ( 1998 ) entered a literary field that eventually led to more pornographic works such as Anne Desclos ' Story of O ( 1954 ) to Anaïs Nin 's Delta of Venus ( 1978 ) . In the second half of the 20th century , Postmodern authors subverted serious debate with playfulness , claiming that art could never be original , that it always plays with existing materials . The idea that language is self - referential was already an accepted truth in the world of pulp fiction . A postmodernist re-reads popular literature as an essential cultural production . Novels from Thomas Pynchon 's The Crying of Lot 49 ( 1966 ) , to Umberto Eco 's The Name of the Rose ( 1980 ) and Foucault 's Pendulum ( 1989 ) made use of intertextual references .

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( February 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Main article : Genre fiction See also : Thriller , Westerns and Speculative fiction The historic advantage of genres is to allow the direct marketing of fiction . While the reader of so - called elitist literature will follow public discussions of novels , the popular production has to employ the traditionally more direct and short - term marketing strategies with the open declarations of their content . The most popular novels are based entirely on the expectations for the particular genre , and this includes the creation of a series of novels with an identifiable brand name . i.e. the Sherlock Holmes series by Arthur Conan Doyle Popular literature holds the largest market share . Romance fiction had an estimated $1.375 billion share in the US book market in 2007 . Inspirational literature / religious literature followed with $819 million , science fiction / fantasy with $700 million , mystery with $650 million and then classic literary fiction with $466 million . Dan Brown Popular literature might be seen as the successor of the early modern chapbook . Both fields share a focus on readers who are in search of accessible reading satisfaction . The 20th - century love romance is a successor of the novels Madeleine de Scudéry , Marie de La Fayette , Aphra Behn , and Eliza Haywood wrote from the 1640s into the 1740s . The modern adventure novel goes back to Daniel Defoe 's Robinson Crusoe ( 1719 ) and its immediate successors . Modern pornography has no precedent in the chapbook market but originates in libertine and hedonistic belles lettres , of works like John Cleland 's Fanny Hill ( 1749 ) and similar eighteenth century novels . Ian Fleming 's James Bond is a descendant of the anonymous yet extremely sophisticated and stylish narrator who mixed his love affairs with his political missions in La Guerre d'Espagne ( 1707 ) . Marion Zimmer Bradley 's The Mists of Avalon is influenced by Tolkien , as well as Arthurian literature , including its 19th - century successors . Modern horror fiction also has no precedent on the market of chapbooks but goes back to the elitist market of early - 19th - century Romantic literature . Modern popular science fiction has an even shorter history , from the 1860s . The authors of popular fiction tend to advertise that they have exploited a controversial topic and this is a major difference between them and so - called elitist literature . Dan Brown , for example , discusses , on his website , the question whether his Da Vinci Code is an anti-Christian novel . And because authors of popular fiction have a fan community to serve , they can risk offending literary critic . However , the boundaries between popular and serious literature have blurred in recent years , with postmodernism and poststructuralism , as well as by adaptation of popular literary classics by the film and television industries . J.K. Rowling , 2010 Crime became a major subject of 20th and 21st century genre novelists and Crime fiction reflects the realities of modern industrialized societies . Crime is personal and public subject : criminals each have their personal motivations ; detectives , see their moral codes challenged . Patricia Highsmith 's thrillers became a medium of new psychological explorations . Paul Auster 's New York Trilogy ( 1985 -- 1986 ) is an example of experimental postmodernist literature based on this genre . Fantasy has become a major area of commercial fiction . A major example is J.R.R. Tolkien 's The Lord of the Rings ( 1954 / 55 ) , a work that grew from a book written for young readers into a major cultural artefact . Tolkien revived European epic literature in the tradition of Beowulf and the North Germanic Edda and the Arthurian Cycles . Science fiction has developed a variety of genres from the early , technological adventure Jules Verne had made fashionable in the 1860s , to a novel like Aldous Huxley 's Brave New World ( 1932 ) about Western consumerism and technology . George Orwell 's Nineteen Eighty - Four ( 1949 ) deals with totalitarianism and surveillance , among other matters , while Stanisław Lem , Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke produced modern classics which focus on the interaction between humans and machines . William Gibson , author of the cult classic Neuromancer ( 1984 ) , is one of a new wave of authors who explore post-apocalyptic fantasies and virtual reality .

See the silk coming from the spinneret glands located at the tip of the abdomen . Spiral orb webs in Karijini , Western Australia Garden Orbweaver with beetle prey caught in its web A spider web , spiderweb , spider 's web , or cobweb ( from the archaic word coppe , meaning `` spider '' ) is a device created by a spider out of proteinaceous spider silk extruded from its spinnerets , generally meant to catch its prey . Spider webs have existed for at least 100 million years , as witnessed in a rare find of Early Cretaceous amber from Sussex , southern England . Insects can get trapped in spider webs , providing nutrition to the spider ; however , not all spiders build webs to catch prey , and some do not build webs at all . `` Spider web '' is typically used to refer to a web that is apparently still in use ( i.e. clean ) , whereas `` cobweb '' refers to abandoned ( i.e. dusty ) webs . However , `` cobweb '' is used to describe the tangled three - dimensional web of some spiders of the Theridiidae family . While this large family is also known as the tangle - web spiders , cobweb spiders and comb - footed spiders , they actually have a huge range of web architectures . Contents ( hide ) 1 Silk production 2 Types 2.1 Orb web construction 3 Uses 3.1 Uses by humans 4 Adhesive properties 5 Communal spider webs 6 Outside influences 7 Low gravity 8 In popular culture 9 See also 10 References 11 External links Silk production ( edit ) See also : Spider silk Clearly visible spider silk production Zygiella orb web Infographic illustrating the process of constructing an orb web Spider web covered in hoar frost When spiders moved from the water to the land in the Early Devonian period , they started making silk to protect their bodies and their eggs . Spiders gradually started using silk for hunting purposes , first as guide lines and signal lines , then as ground or bush webs , and eventually as the aerial webs that are familiar today . Spiders produce silk from their spinneret glands located at the tip of their abdomen . Each gland produces a thread for a special purpose -- for example a trailed safety line , sticky silk for trapping prey or fine silk for wrapping it . Spiders use different gland types to produce different silks , and some spiders are capable of producing up to eight different silks during their lifetime . Most spiders have three pairs of spinnerets , each having its own function -- there are also spiders with just one pair and others with as many as four pairs . Webs allow a spider to catch prey without having to expend energy by running it down . Thus it is an efficient method of gathering food . However , constructing the web is in itself an energetically costly process because of the large amount of protein required , in the form of silk . In addition , after a time the silk will lose its stickiness and thus become inefficient at capturing prey . It is common for spiders to eat their own web daily to recoup some of the energy used in spinning . The silk proteins are thus recycled . The tensile strength of spider silk is greater than the same weight of steel and has much greater elasticity . Its microstructure is under investigation for potential applications in industry , including bullet - proof vests and artificial tendons . Researchers have used genetically modified mammals to produce the proteins needed to make this material . Types ( edit ) Argiope sp . sitting on web decorations at the center of the web There are a few types of spider webs found in the wild , and many spiders are classified by the webs they weave . Different types of spider webs include : Spiral orb webs , associated primarily with the family Araneidae , as well as Tetragnathidae and Uloboridae Tangle webs or cobwebs , associated with the family Theridiidae Funnel webs , with associations divided into primitive and modern Tubular webs , which run up the bases of trees or along the ground Sheet webs Several different types of silk may be used in web construction , including a `` sticky '' capture silk and `` fluffy '' capture silk , depending on the type of spider . Webs may be in a vertical plane ( most orb webs ) , a horizontal plane ( sheet webs ) , or at any angle in between . It is hypothesized that these types of aerial webs co-evolved with the evolution of winged insects . As insects are spiders ' main prey , it is likely that they would impose strong selectional forces on the foraging behavior of spiders . Most commonly found in the sheet - web spider families , some webs will have loose , irregular tangles of silk above them . These tangled obstacle courses serve to disorient and knock down flying insects , making them more vulnerable to being trapped on the web below . They may also help to protect the spider from predators such as birds and wasps . Orb web construction ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( January 2011 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) A typical orb web constructed by an Araneus ( family Araneidae ) spider . Most orb weavers construct webs in a vertical plane , although there are exceptions , such as Uloborus diversus , which builds a horizontal web . During the process of making an orb web , the spider will use its own body for measurements . Many webs span gaps between objects which the spider could not cross by crawling . This is done by first producing a fine adhesive thread to drift on a faint breeze across a gap . When it sticks to a surface at the far end , the spider feels the change in the vibration . The spider reels in and tightens the first strand , then carefully walks along it and strengthens it with a second thread . This process is repeated until the thread is strong enough to support the rest of the web . Play media Larinioides cornutus builds its web . After strengthening the first thread , the spider continues to make a Y - shaped netting . The first three radials of the web are now constructed . More radials are added , making sure that the distance between each radial and the next is small enough to cross . This means that the number of radials in a web directly depends on the size of the spider plus the size of the web . It is common for a web to be about 20 times the size of the spider building it . After the radials are complete , the spider fortifies the center of the web with about five circular threads . It makes a spiral of non-sticky , widely spaced threads to enable it to move easily around its own web during construction , working from the inside outward . Then , beginning from the outside and moving inward , the spider methodically replaces this spiral with a more closely spaced one made of adhesive threads . It uses the initial radiating lines as well as the non-sticky spirals as guide lines . The spaces between each spiral and the next are directly proportional to the distance from the tip of its back legs to its spinners . This is one way the spider uses its own body as a measuring / spacing device . While the sticky spirals are formed , the non-adhesive spirals are removed as there is no need for them any more . Australian garden orb weaver spider , after having captured prey After the spider has completed its web , it chews off the initial three center spiral threads then sits and waits . If the web is broken without any structural damage during the construction , the spider does not make any initial attempts to rectify the problem . The spider , after spinning its web , then waits on or near the web for a prey animal to become trapped . The spider senses the impact and struggle of a prey animal by vibrations transmitted through the web . A spider positioned in the middle of the web makes for a highly visible prey for birds and other predators , even without web decorations ; many day - hunting orb - web spinners reduce this risk by hiding at the edge of the web with one foot on a signal line from the hub or by appearing to be inedible or unappetizing . Spiders do not usually adhere to their own webs , because they are able to spin both sticky and non-sticky types of silk , and are careful to travel across only non-sticky portions of the web . However , they are not immune to their own glue . Some of the strands of the web are sticky , and others are not . For example , if a spider has chosen to wait along the outer edges of its web , it may spin a non-sticky prey or signal line to the web hub to monitor web movement . However , in the course of spinning sticky strands , spiders have to touch these sticky strands . They do this without sticking by using careful movements , dense hairs and nonstick coatings on their feet to prevent adhesion . Uses ( edit ) A soldier ant finds itself entangled in the web of a garden spider . Some species of spider do not use webs for capturing prey directly , instead pouncing from concealment ( e.g. trapdoor spiders ) or running them down in open chase ( e.g. wolf spiders ) . The net - casting spider balances the two methods of running and web spinning in its feeding habits . This spider weaves a small net which it attaches to its front legs . It then lurks in wait for potential prey and , when such prey arrives , lunges forward to wrap its victim in the net , bite and paralyze it . Hence , this spider expends less energy catching prey than a primitive hunter such as the wolf spider . It also avoids the energy loss of weaving a large orb web . Some spiders manage to use the signaling - snare technique of a web without spinning a web at all . Several types of water - dwelling spiders rest their feet on the water 's surface in much the same manner as an orb - web user . When an insect falls onto the water and is ensnared by surface tension , the spider can detect the vibrations and run out to capture the prey . Uses by humans ( edit ) Cobweb paintings , which began during the 16th century in a remote valley of the Austrian Tyrolean Alps , were created on fabrics consisting of layered and wound cobwebs , stretched over cardboard to make a mat , and strengthened by brushing with milk diluted in water . A small brush was then used to apply watercolor to the cobwebs , or custom tools to create engravings . Fewer than a hundred cobweb paintings survive today , most of which are held in private collections . In traditional European medicine , cobwebs are used on wounds and cuts and seem to help healing and reduce bleeding . Spider webs are rich in vitamin K , which can be effective in clotting blood . Webs were used several hundred years ago as gauze pads to stop an injured person 's bleeding . Spider web strands have been used for crosshairs or reticles in telescopes . Adhesive properties ( edit ) The stickiness of spiders ' webs is courtesy of droplets of glue suspended on the silk threads . This glue is multifunctional -- that is , its behavior depends on how quickly something touching it attempts to withdraw . At high velocities , they function as an elastic solid , resembling rubber ; at lower velocities , they simply act as a sticky glue . This allows them to retain a grip on attached food particles . The web is also electrically conductive which causes the silk threads to spring out to trap their quarry , as flying insects tend to gain a static charge which attracts the silk . Communal spider webs ( edit ) After severe , extensive flooding in Sindh , Pakistan , many trees were covered with spider webs . Occasionally , a group of spiders may build webs together in the same area . Massive flooding in Pakistan during the 2010 monsoon drove spiders above the waterline , into trees . The result was trees covered with spider webs . The communal spider web at Lake Tawakoni State Park One such web , reported in 2007 at Lake Tawakoni State Park in Texas , measured 200 yards ( 180 m ) across . Entomologists believe it may be the result of social cobweb spiders or of spiders building webs to spread out from one another . There is no consensus on how common this occurrence is . Outside influences ( edit ) Certain drugs , including caffeine , affect the way spiders build webs . Administering certain drugs to spiders affects the structure of the webs they build . It has been proposed by some that this could be used as a method of documenting and measuring the toxicity of various substances . Low gravity ( edit ) It has been observed that being in Earth 's orbit has an effect on the structure of spider webs in space . Spider webs were spun in low earth orbit in 1973 aboard Skylab , involving two female European garden spiders ( cross spiders ) called Arabella and Anita , as part of an experiment on the Skylab 3 mission . The aim of the experiment was to test whether the two spiders would spin webs in space , and , if so , whether these webs would be the same as those that spiders produced on Earth . The experiment was a student project of Judy Miles of Lexington , Massachusetts . After the launch on July 28 , 1973 , and entering Skylab , the spiders were released by astronaut Owen Garriott into a box that resembled a window frame . The spiders proceeded to construct their web while a camera took photographs and examined the spiders ' behavior in a zero - gravity environment . Both spiders took a long time to adapt to their weightless existence . However , after a day , Arabella spun the first web in the experimental cage , although it was initially incomplete . The first web spun by the spider Arabella in orbit The web was completed the following day . The crew members were prompted to expand the initial protocol . They fed and watered the spiders , giving them a house fly . The first web was removed on August 13 to allow the spider to construct a second web . At first , the spider failed to construct a new web . When given more water , it built a second web . This time , it was more elaborate than the first . Both spiders died during the mission , possibly from dehydration . When scientists were given the opportunity to study the webs , they discovered that the space webs were finer than normal Earth webs , and although the patterns of the web were not totally dissimilar , variations were spotted , and there was a definite difference in the characteristics of the web . Additionally , while the webs were finer overall , the space web had variations in thickness in places : some places were slightly thinner , and others slightly thicker . This was unusual , because Earth webs have been observed to have uniform thickness . In popular culture ( edit ) Spider webs play a crucial role in the children 's novel Charlotte 's Web . Webs are also featured in many other cultural depictions of spiders . In films , illustration , and other visual arts , spider webs may be used to readily suggest a `` spooky '' atmosphere , or imply neglect or the passage of time . Artificial `` spider webs '' are a common element of Halloween decorations . Spider webs are a common image in tattoo art , often symbolizing long periods of time spent in prison , or used simply to fill gaps between other images . Some observers believe that a small spider is depicted , perched on the shield surrounding the number `` 1 '' , in the upper - right corner of the front side ( obverse ) of the United States one - dollar bill . This perception is enhanced by the resemblance of the background image of intertwining fine lines to a stylized spider web . However , other observers believe the figure is an owl . Artificial spider webs are used by the superhero Spider - Man as a method of quick transportation . The notable tensile strength of spider webs is often exaggerated in science fiction , often as an plot device to justify the presence of artificially giant spiders .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Reception 2.1 Ratings 2.2 Critical reception 3 References 4 External links Plot ( edit ) The episode begins with a flashback to when Elizabeth Keen ( Megan Boone ) shot her husband Tom Keen ( Ryan Eggold ) after he tried to kill her . She then tells Raymond `` Red '' Reddington ( James Spader ) that he should leave the room so she can finish him off ; she instead kidnaps him and takes him prisoner to a boat on the docks , and makes him reveal important details regarding Red 's nemesis and former KGB member Berlin ( Peter Stormare ) and several other people on Red 's Blacklist . It is revealed that Elizabeth has held Tom captive for four months . Elsewhere , Red meets with Berlin and reveals to him that his daughter Zoe ( Scottie Thompson ) is in fact alive , and he presents her to him , thus making their feud pointless , as Berlin believed that Red killed her . Red asks Berlin who told him the lie ; he reveals the person 's identity as The Decembrist . Red and Berlin hunt down several people in order to find out The Decembrist 's true identity . They eventually find a name : Alan Fitch ( Alan Alda ) , an associate of Red 's . After finding out who it is , Berlin decides to hunt him down and kill him , something Red is not keen on doing . Red later reveals to Elizabeth that he is in fact working with Berlin and that he knows that Tom is not dead . This angers her , as she has spent months trying to find Berlin ; Red expresses disappointment that Elizabeth did not trust him enough to tell him about Tom . Back at the boat , Tom tells Elizabeth that she will not kill him despite her supposed desire to . A security man arrives to check out a report about the boat , and Elizabeth has to capture him . Tom then kills him as a way to remove witnesses ; Elizabeth watches in horror as her associate holds her back . Elizabeth then demands to know where Berlin is : Tom says if she lets him go , then he will reveal the information . Elizabeth asks for Donald Ressler 's ( Diego Klattenhoff ) assistance , which he provides despite his reluctance . The two allow Tom to escape into the city unseen after he reveals Berlin 's last known whereabouts . Before letting him go , Ressler warns Tom that he will hunt him down . Berlin later takes Zoe out to lunch . Zoe is visibly uncomfortable being there , especially with Berlin 's men keeping watch . Berlin orders his men away , and Red then drops in and demands to know what Berlin 's men did to Alan , as he has gone missing . Berlin realizes that his daughter has set him up . The FBI later finds Alan with a hi - tech bomb strapped around his neck . He is escorted to FBI headquarters and locked in the same box that Red was sent into after first being detained by the FBI in the first episode . There , several bomb squad officers attempt to disable the bomb . Eventually , Alan announces he does not want any more blood on his hands than he has already , and asks the bomb squad office to leave , which he reluctantly does . Alan knows he is going to die , as the bomb can go off at any time . Alan then asks to speak with Red . Red stands outside the box , and Alan asks if he has `` The Fulcrum '' ; Red merely says that he can not stop the bomb . Alan then says that his death will trigger a series of events , which will make it harder for the moderates to resist the extremists , and predicts that by 2017 , conditions will get worse . Alan then tells Red the combination to a safe he has hidden away in St. Petersburg , but is unable to tell him the exact location within the city before the bomb explodes . Later , Red meets with Berlin in a warehouse and the two share a bottle of vodka as Berlin reminisces about better times during the Cold War . Just after Berlin finishes the bottle knowing he is going to die , Red shoots him four times , killing him . Elizabeth goes back to the boat where Tom was and finds Red waiting for her there ; he reiterates his disappointment in her not trusting him . Elizabeth tells him how frustrated she is that she could not kill Tom , and Red says that love is still a factor and a power she can not control . He then embraces her . That night , Tom meets Red in a restaurant , and Red gives him an envelope , telling him twice that `` You are never to see her again . '' Before he leaves , Tom tells Red that during his captivity , he never told Elizabeth about them , which suggests that Tom has worked for Red in some capacity .

Critical reception ( edit ) Commentators gave the episode highly positive reviews , saying that the episode lived up to its anticipation . Jodi Walker of Entertainment Weekly gave the episode a highly positive review , commenting mainly on the episode 's anticipation paying off , saying `` Does The Blacklist still have it ? This season 's self - proclaimed `` huge reveals '' have all been largely foreshadowed in previews and Voice commercial breaks : Tom behind the door , Zoe as Berlin 's daughter , Fitch as Berlin and Red 's common enemy . But , The Blacklist stuck the landing where it counted tonight , when we finally got to see what all of those reveals mean to the world of Red and Lizzie , . After the plethora of reveals in the last 10 minutes -- or as NBC marketing would say , `` You wo n't believe the . LAST . TEN . MINUTES '' -- my jaw has resumed its formerly gaping position . '' Brent Furdyk of ET Canada said `` the gripping thriller ended the first half of its second season in true over-the - top fashion with two major characters biting the dust . '' Jim McMahon of IGN gave the episode a 7.2 out of 10 , saying that the show 's midseason finale `` goes out with some potentially big plot developments and a small bang . '' Sean McKenna of TV Fanatic gave the episode a 4.6 out of 5 , saying `` Perhaps it being a fall finale helped amp things up , but it was so satisfying to get the entire hour focused on the bigger story . This was the engaging episode that I 'd been waiting to get again , and I 'm so glad how it turned out . '' Andrea Reiher of Zap2it gave the episode ( and the first half of the season ) a positive review , saying `` The first season ( ... ) sometimes suffered from putting too much emphasis on the case of the week , leaving the overarching mythology barely present or even nonexistent . But Season 2 has pulled off the masterful job of providing cases each week that are wrapped up within the hour while most weeks also connecting in some way to the larger picture . It has made the drama more serialized and it became apparent during the fall finale that the season is neatly divided into acts ( probably three ) , the first of which has come to a close with some events that perfectly set up Act II .

Boruto is quickly caught by Shikamaru , who remarks that Boruto and Naruto are very similar , being father and son , which Boruto resents ( Shikamaru makes a similar comment about Shikadai and himself ) . Sarada wonders how Sasuke would be as a father since she was very young when he left the village and has not seen him much since . She asks Sakura if Sasuke needed glasses when he was a child , and Sakura 's vague answer does little to satisfy Sarada . Sarada decides to look into the Uchiha clan , learning about the Sharingan and how she and her father are the clan 's last living members ; when she tries to do further research in regard to her father , she discovers that the information is restricted from public access . Sarada approaches her mother again and asks her if she even is Sasuke 's wife .

Boruto comes to deliver a lunch box to Naruto but arrives late , and Sarada asks him to let her deliver the lunch box in his place . He initially refuses but later agrees because she keeps asking him persistently . Afterwards , when Sarada and Chocho are going after Naruto , the person who attacked Sasuke earlier gets in their way , introduces himself as Shin Uchiha and asks Sarada to come with him . She refuses to go with him and he attacks them , but Naruto comes to save them and fights him using his Tailed Beast form , much to everyone 's surprise . Shin then retreats from there after acknowledging that he can not win against Naruto . Sarada is worried after the incident , and Naruto assures her that he will protect her . Sarada delivers the lunch box , and Naruto decides to take them with himself for their safety . They eat their lunch , and after that Naruto tells them about how he sees Sasuke as his rival and how Sarada 's appearance resembles Sasuke 's , while her presence resembles Sakura 's , such as her scary attitude when she gets mad . They continue their journey , and just when they are about to reach the tower where Naruto arranged to meet up with Sasuke , Chocho gets tired and Naruto tells Sarada to rest for a few moments , but she makes an excuse and goes to meet Sasuke without Naruto and Chocho . Her eyes transform into the Sharingan because of her strong desire to meet her father , and when she gets inside the tower , Sasuke points out his sword at her because , after seeing her Sharingan , he thinks that Sarada is with the person who attacked him . 21 `` Sasuke and Sarada '' `` Sasuke to Sarada '' ( サスケ と サラダ ) August 23 , 2017 Shizune informs Sakura that Sarada has left the village after seeing the picture with team Taka to meet Sasuke with Naruto .

Naruto shows up with Chocho , and Sasuke angrily asks him why he brought kids along , but Sarada tells him that she purposely followed Naruto to meet him , as she wants to know whether Sakura is her real mother . Meanwhile , Shizune gets to know from Sakura that Sarada has awakened her Sharingan a long time ago . Sakura informs Shizune that she does not want Sarada to find out her father was an enemy of Konoha in the past , this being the reason why she did not tell her about the others in the photo with team Taka . Sarada complains to Sasuke that he has never been around and that her mother never tells her anything . Sarada asks Sasuke about the woman in the picture ( Karin ) and his reason for abandoning his family for so long , but he replies simply that she has nothing to do with it . After hearing his answer , she cries out and leaves the tower , and Naruto asks Sasuke if it would not be better to let her know about the reason behind his absence . Both reminisce about the time when Sasuke left Konoha in order to stay vigilant in case a threat similar to Kaguya came , as such a menace would bring global harm . Back then , Sasuke decided to keep his mission a secret , even at the cost of his daughter 's possible future resentment . Naruto then leaves the tower and tries to comfort Sarada . Later , a mysterious person talks to Shin about his plan to revive Akatsuki and prepares to attack everyone at the tower along with several people who look like Shin . That person uses blades to attack Naruto , who foils the attack using Kurama 's chakra . Then , Sasuke joins the fight and tries to defeat the enemy using Fire Style . The enemy uses Shin as a shield . He then introduces himself as Shin Uchiha and tells everyone present about his plan to revive Akatsuki using Sasuke 's Sharingan . Sasuke asks Naruto to protect Sarada and decides to fight Shin alone . As Sasuke is about to attack him , Sasuke 's sword suddenly pierces Naruto , as Shin explains that this is his Dōjutsu ( Visual Prowess ) . Accordingly , Sasuke realizes that Shin marked his sword in their fight earlier . Because of Naruto 's injury , Kurama 's chakra fades , and Shin attacks Sarada with his blades , but Sasuke comes in their way to protect her , injuring himself in the process . Shin stops Sasuke 's movements through the blades piercing Sasuke 's body . Shin moves to take Sasuke 's Sharingan , but Sakura suddenly appears and defeats the enemy with a single punch . Sarada stands surprised at former Team 7 's resilience and power , realizing that even Naruto 's injury has already started healing . Sakura hugs Sarada and apologizes to Sasuke for not making things more clear to their daughter , but Sasuke tells her that it is his fault . Naruto grabs both older and younger Shin and drags them toward himself . As they are about to get near Naruto , Shin 's mysterious creature begins teleporting Shin and Sarada to his place , but Sakura pushes her daughter out of the way and is teleported instead of her . Sakura then ends up in Shin 's hideout and finds herself surrounded by more of his sons . 22 `` Connected Feelings '' `` Tsunagaru omoi '' ( つながる 想い ) August 30 , 2017 In order to find Sakura , Sasuke and Naruto decide to go to Orochimaru 's hideout to ask for information regarding Shin 's location . Naruto tells Sarada that there is a chance she will meet the people in the picture there . Meanwhile , in his hideout , Shin explains to Sakura that human beings are bounded by their genes and are simple vessels . He also mentions how Akatsuki enables the stronger genes to thrive through battles and helps the formation of new Jutsu . On their way to Orochimaru 's hideout , Naruto and Sasuke meet Captain Yamoto , who is on surveillance over Orchimaru . After getting into the hideout , they meet Sasuke 's former teammates - Suigetsu and Jugo , who are the current caretakers of the hideout . Then , Orochimaru appears and meets them with a new , younger appearance . After hearing Shin 's name from Sasuke , he takes them to another chamber and explains that Shin Uchiha is one of his old experiments that was used for the right arm of Danzo . Shin has a unique ability of being transplanted to or injected with anything without any side effects . He also explains why Shin refers to himself as Uchiha , the reason being that he can manifest the Sharingan and is obsessed with the Uchiha name , in particular with Sasuke 's brother , Itachi . On their way out , Sarada asks Suigetsu if he knows the lady in the picture , and he identifies her as Karin . After hearing this , Sarada asks if she is in the hideout , to which Suigetsu replies that she is in another one . Then , Sarada reveals her doubts about her parentage , shocking Suigetsu and making him ask himself if her suspicions could ever be possible . In order to take a DNA test , Suigetsu takes a DNA sample from Sarada and uses what he thinks is Karin 's umbilical cord . The result shows that there is a perfect match , making Suigetsu assume that Karin is Sarada 's mom . Because of this , Sarada feels lied to and fooled by her mother . Realizing how Sarada feels , Suigetsu runs out of the room to prevent further problems . Naruto sees Sarada crying and comes to her . After Sarada manifests the Sharingan , Naruto shows Sarada her eyes in a mirror . He then tells her to calm down and tries to comfort her , but Sarada tells him that he has nothing to do with her and that he can not understand how she feels . Naruto says he is the Hokage and the entire village is his family , which also includes Sarada . Naruto also tells her that the bonds between a parent and a child are not just based on history and blood relations but on the love between them , and he asks Sarada if she can remember any moments that show the love between her and Sakura . Sarada does this and thinks of several such instances , which depict how Sakura was taking care of Sarada when she was sick , how she reassured her about Sasuke 's love for both of them and how she poked her forehead . After remembering all of these moments , Sarada becomes willing to go and save her mother from Shin Uchiha . After both of them leave the room , Suigetsu gets frightened and hides so that Sarada can not see him . Orochimaru comments that Sakura might be dead already , to which Sasuke replies that his wife is not weak . Sasuke then says that his Visual Prowess is recovered and he will take everyone to the hideout in his Susanoo . Sarada and Chocho are amazed by his abilities . In the hideout of Shin Uchiha , Shin plans to revive Akatsuki by killing Sasuke and taking his Sharingan , as he thinks Sasuke is not worthy of the Uchiha name . 23 `` Bonds Come in All Shapes '' `` Tsunagari no katachi '' ( つながり の カタチ ) September 6 , 2017 As Naruto and the others are coming to save Sakura , she starts fighting Shin after gaining enough information about his evil intentions of reviving Akatsuki . Meanwhile , Naruto and the others get confronted by Shin 's clones upon their arrival at the hideout . Sarada rushes to save Sakura and Sasuke goes after her , while Naruto faces Shin 's clones alone . Shin attacks Sakura with his blades and successfully pierces two blades into her arm , restricting Sakura 's movement . Afterwards , Shin tries to kill Sakura with a giant shuriken , but Sasuke interrupts him and immediately helps Sakura , much to Sarada 's enjoyment . He then goes after Shin , who lost his right leg , but a clone of Shin gets in his way . Instead , Shin stabs Sasuke along with his clone . After Sasuke and Sakura briefly look at each other , Sakura runs to the opposite direction of Shin , who sends his blades after her , but Sasuke changes places with Sakura using his Rinnegan and she finally defeats Shin with a single punch . After that , the clones fighting Naruto come near Shin , but instead of saving him , they stab him with their weapons . They tell him that they are just following Shin 's principles , as his Visual Prowess is no longer powerful , and they believe that it is their turn to get to evolve . Then , several other clones made by the clones themselves come and start fighting Naruto and Sasuke . Shin tries to teleport himself along with Sakura between all the commotion , but Sarada stops him by punching his mysterious creature who has just begun teleporting them , thus showing that she inherited Sakura 's natural control over chakra , much to Sasuke 's pride and Sakura 's surprise . The clone fighting Naruto stops after seeing Kurama inside Naruto , and Naruto promises that they will not attack them if they behave . Sakura hugs Sarada and Sasuke tells Sarada that her existence in the world is the proof of his and Sakura 's connected feelings . Afterwards , all the clones are sent to the orphanage that is run by Kabuto , and upon returning to the village , Chocho sees Choji in his slim form for the first time in her life and her quest to find her real father ends . At Orochimaru 's hideout , Karin explains to Suigetsu that Sarada really is Sasuke and Sakura 's daughter . She scolds Suigetsu for the mistake he made , as she was just the midwife for Sakura when Sakura went into labour , and tells him that the umbilical cord he used for the test is actually the one between Sakura and Sarada . She then urges him to go and apologize to Sarada . Sakura confirms to Sarada along with Sasuke that she is their biological child at the dining table . Next day , Sarada and Sakura see Sasuke off as he leaves for his mission . Before departing , Sasuke pokes Sarada 's forehead and , remembering this gesture from her mother , Sarada turns to Sakura and smiles happily .

After this , with her Sharingan now fully unlocked , Sarada trains with Chocho to become Hokage , but she explains that , on her mother 's advice , she plans to keep her new power a secret to avoid being targeted in the future . Konohamaru teaches Sarada more about the Sharingan and tells her she is now his rival toward becoming Hokage . During the summit , Naruto reveals that Sasuke has been using his Rinnegan to investigate the other dimensions and fears that one of them may be harboring dangerous threats . While the other Kage express concern that the new generation of ninja are not cut out for taking on threats should they be faced with a new war , Naruto reveals his belief that the new generation will manage to surpass them . 25 `` The Turbulent Field Trip '' `` Haran no shūgakuryokō ! !

Principal Iruka concurs , and before they know it the students are on a cruise ship en route to the Hidden Mist . To the surprise of the students the Mist has been completely modernized , perhaps even more so than the Leaf , and seeing their amazement in the midst of a different village and culture is undoubtedly entertaining . In typical anime fashion , the girls are charmed by the foreign boys , while the boys are more interested in games and movies . 26 `` The Mizukage 's Successor '' `` Mizukage no kōkeisha '' ( 水 影 の 後継 者 ) September 27 , 2017 Last week 's instructive foray into the Hidden Mist extends into a class visit to the office of the new Mizukage , Chojuro . Boruto quickly tires of Chojuro 's speech about unity between the villages , which the Kage mercifully cuts short . Kagura continues the Kage 's story later , explaining that Chojuro is the reason for the Mist Village 's recent prosperity . Kagura takes some time to reflect on the `` Blood Mist 's '' dark past , which triggers a rather pertinent outburst from Iwabe . Iwabe tells a story about his grandfather being killed by the Fourth Mizukage , making a point that the Mist should not be so quick to write off their violent history when the war is still fresh in the minds of their victims . 27 `` A Shinobi Bout of Friendship '' `` Yūjō no shinobi bauto '' ( 友情 の シノビバウト ) October 4 , 2017 With Kagura 's help , Boruto and his friends manage to save Denki from the Kirigakure 's ninjas led by Hachiya . After this , Kagura confesses to the others that he is the grandson of the 4th Mikuzage , Yagura , and is afraid of wielding his sword because it once drove him to kill many of his classmates . Meanwhile , Shino , Anko and Mei discuss the issues between Kirigakure and the Land of the Water that could create another war .

Kagura leaves with the others and Boruto faints because of his injuries . When he wakes up , Sarada tells him that Hachiya told her about him . He apologizes to Boruto for his earlier actions . Suigetsu is shown in Kirigakure reveling Shizuma 's full name Shizuma Hoshigaki . He then disappears as soon as Mitsuki shows up . Boruto asks Hachiya about the relation between Kagura and Shizuma , and he tells Boruto that Kagura feels indebted to Shizuma because he hurt him in the past . Sarada plans to tell the teachers about it , but Boruto stops her because he wants to save Kagura himself .

I brought this to question since the definition uses `` frequency , '' and it would appear that they are all equally frequent and thus all modes ? I 'm not sure of the official accepted interpretation . DOES ANYONE KNOW THE ANSWER ? The mode can not be calculated in such a varied set of data and thus should not be used . - Ferret 03 : 27 , 23 March 2006 ( UTC ) This was a multiple choice question on a standardized test , so would I say 4 modes or no modes ? -- Dch111 21 : 02 , 16 May 2006 ( UTC ) No modes , according to my programming teacher who worked for NASA . -- The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.8. 96.7 ( talk ) 04 : 42 , 11 December 2006 ( UTC ) .

( And linear or independent might be just as bad . ) Septentrionalis 01 : 51 , 6 May 2006 ( UTC ) I have reverted the addition of a wikilink to Commutative operation because it does not really cover the concept meant here . Commutative diagram is more to the point , but even I :) can see that that is a bridge too far . Lambiam 02 : 13 , 6 May 2006 ( UTC ) Well it would be nice if commutative operation really brought out the idea of commutative diagrams ; it is in there , it 's just not going to be obvious to the audience here ... Septentrionalis 03 : 25 , 6 May 2006 ( UTC ) The way I see it is as follows . For `` commutative '' in the sense of commutative diagram , reducing everything to the simplest case , operations f and g commute if : f o g = g o f . There is no universal quantification here , and the commuting operations are a pair of unary operations ( although generalizations are possible and usual ) . For `` commutative '' in the sense of commutative operation , operation ⊕ is commutative if , x ⊕ y = y ⊕ x for all x and y in the domain . Here the universal quantification is essential , and there is one operation which is binary . I expect that attempts to unify the two notions will produced strained and non-natural results . Lambiam 18 : 51 , 6 May 2006 ( UTC ) Rather than try to explain the usage , I kept the idea . See what you think ; I would n't put Commutative diagram under the See also , but go ahead if you like . Perhaps a general article on Commutativity ? Septentrionalis 01 : 58 , 7 May 2006 ( UTC ) Sample from a continuous distribution ( edit ) I do n't understand why in `` a sample from a continuous distribution ( ... ) each value will occur precisely once . '' I 'm not particularly familiar with statistics ( I did n't know what a ' mode ' was before reading this article ) , so this may just reflect confusion on my part , but I do n't see why sample from a continuous distribution will contain every element only once ( although it seems to me that it would do so with probabililty 1 , i.e. , almost certainly ) . Could someone explain ? Benja 13 : 23 , 15 May 2006 ( UTC ) Indeed , more precisely formulated , the probability of any duplicate elements is 0 . So if you were to repeat this for the rest of the life of the universe , you 'd never expect a duplicate . Is n't that good enough for `` will occur precisely once '' ? More strongly , though , the values have to be represented somehow , and one imaginable way is a random - value producing apparatus that keeps producing a stream of digits making up the decimal expansion of the values for the random variables . So imagine that after several eons of steady production we have that one stream is `` 0.7785 ( seventeen umptyzillion and four digits omitted ) 459 ( to be continued ) '' and so is another . Are the two values duplicates of each other ? Perhaps , but most likely not . They may diverge at every next digit . But even if they are , we 'll never know , since the streams will never be complete . So actually , the probability of any duplicate elements is 0 , and , moreover , even if duplicacy ( is that an English word ? ) occurs , it remains forever unknowable . Might as well say : ca n't happen . -- Lambiam 13 : 50 , 15 May 2006 ( UTC ) Huh . Seems like I understood alright , but you guys have a seriously different way of looking at these things. :-) ( I was assuming that we were using the language of theory , since continuous distributions are a theoretical / modelling tool rather than something you 'd deal with in practice . ) Although , if we look at this from a practical point of view , would n't it be more helpful to talk about the practical situation where you get , say , temperature readings with + / - . 01 degrees accuracy and it 's quite possible , but unlikely , that you 'll get the same reading twice , rendering the mode meaningless and requiring the technique described ? -- In any case , thanks for explaining ! Benja 14 : 30 , 15 May 2006 ( UTC ) `` You guys '' ? I 'm just one editor with one viewpoint ( who happened to have written the relevant paragraph ) . The above was all very theoretical and only thought experimental ; actual random - value producing apparatus does n't last that long . For practical application , the article tells you to discretize the data , as for a histogram , so that you will actually get ( still in practice ) frequencies greather than 1 . -- Lambiam observe the following data 1 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 7 , 9 , 12 , 13 , 15 , 15 , 15 , 15 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 19 , 22 , 24 , 24 , 25 , 25 , 26 , 26 , 27 , 30 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 32 , 33 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 35 , 36 , 36 , 37 , , 39 , 40 , 40 , 45 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 49 . class intervals freq. 0 - 10 6 10 - 20 10 20 - 30 8 30 - 40 14 40 - 50 9 according to the defination of the mode , 30 - 40 is the modal class . and the mode will lie in that interval . But if we look at the raw data then 15 is the mode . how do we resolve this contradiction ? Reeded 15 : 11 , 28 March 2007 ( UTC ) reeded If the population distribution is continuous , the chance of observing two or more identical values is 0 . If you discretize the data , then the result may ( of course ) depend on the details . If you have a distribution whose density function has a thin spike , it gets diluted when the intervals are much wider . The sample data show a thin spike at 15 and a robust mound around 35 . The choice of intervals does actually not conform to the advice given in the article , but it is also possible to construct an example that does conform but still displays this phenomenon . -- Lambiam 23 : 01 , 28 March 2007 ( UTC ) Thanks for that ! another hiccup ! what happens if the data is given as a discontinuous data . do we make the intervals continuous , if so why ? 59.180. 85.146 06 : 30 , 8 April 2007 ( UTC ) reeded13 Do you mean contiguous intervals ? And is n't the data ( if finite in size ) always `` discontinuous '' ? If the data comes from a discrete probability distribution , such as the Poisson distribution , then usually you do n't use intervals but just tally the values : 3 × a 0 , 3 × a 1 , 4 × a 2 , 9 × a 3 , 5 × a 4 , 1 × a 5 , 2 × a 6 . If the frequencies are very low , you could lump groups of adjacent values together , making sure the groups have equal sizes . If the underlying distribution is continuous , like for the gamma distribution , then you must use intervals , and these intervals should partition the sample space into equi - sized parts . These intervals must be contiguous : together they must cover the whole space without gaps . -- Lambiam 12 : 27 , 8 April 2007 ( UTC ) thanks for that ! 59.180. 55.151 15 : 32 , 11 April 2007 ( UTC ) reeded I have a similar question to the first one above ( edit ) My question is I have a set of 10 numbers with 44 and 93 appearing twice . Is the mode `` 44 and 93 '' or is it the average of the two , as calculated with `` median '' involving even numbers ? Thanks ! LandOfIsrael 18 : 26 , 15 August 2006 ( UTC ) The article gives the example of a data sample ( 1 , 1 , 2 , 4 , 4 ) and states : `` the mode is not unique '' . That is about all that can be said about it . Depending on your needs , predilections , and local customs , you can pick your choice between : ( a ) for this sample the mode is undefined ; ( b ) this sample actually has two modes : 1 and 4 ; and ( c ) the mode is indeterminate ( whatever that means ) . I would not take the average except when you have a histogram peaking in two adjacent slots , because that could be severely misleading . Now here is a question : what is the mode of an empty data sample ? -- Lambiam 01 : 22 , 16 August 2006 ( UTC ) Thank you so much ! ! ! I appreciate your taking the time to help me . I did n't see that example in the article even though it was staring me in the face . Oops ! :) In this case I think I 'll write that the mode is `` 44 and 93 '' and see how that works . Again , thank you ! ! ! ( Thanks as well to whoever moved my question to the bottom -- I was n't aware of the wiki custom of oldest on the top / newest at the bottom ! ) LandOfIsrael 10 : 52 , 16 August 2006 ( UTC ) Computing the mode ( edit ) Hi . I would like to see a section on how to effectively compute the mode of a list of numbers . That would be useful . -- Spoon ! 02 : 03 , 9 February 2007 ( UTC ) Compute the mode by three successive passes through the data list thus : Pass 1 : Count the number of different sample values Start a separate count variable = 0 for each sample value and do Pass 2 : Increment the appropriate count for each sample Start a frequency variable = 0 and do Pass 3 : For each value , if its occurence is greater than the frequency variable , then update the frequency variable and remember which value did it . At the end of Pass 3 the last remembered ( i.e. stored ) value is the mode . ( With a little more thought , Pass 1 and 2 can be achieved in a single pass . ) Cuddlyable3 07 : 48 , 8 May 2007 ( UTC ) This requires that you maintain a data structure for counting , for each possible sample value , its frequency . In general , that has to be an associative array ( lookup table ) . For example , if the data is something like ( 2404030 , 712 , 20574 , 2404030 , 657032180 , 20574 , 712 , 2404030 , 712 , 20574 , 2404030 , 657032180 , 657032180 , 2404030 , 31710510 , 657032180 , 31710510 , 20574 , 712 , 712 ) , you do n't want to allocate a normal array for this ( and you can not know the required size in advance ) . Unless you have a set of library functions for this , that is not an easy programming exercise . If all values are different , the size grows to be as large as the data sample . It is almost always easier and more efficient to sort the values , after which you can find the mode in a single pass . Here is a way of doing that , presented in pseudocode : ( maxCnt , loMode , hiMode ) : = ( 0 , NAN , NAN ) ; ( cnt , last ) : = ( 0 , NAN ) ; for x ← sorted ( data ) : if x ≠ last : if cnt = 0 : skip ; else if cnt > maxCnt : ( maxCnt , loMode , hiMode ) : = ( cnt , last , last ) ; else if cnt = maxCnt : if last < loMode : loMode : = last ; end if if last > hiMode : hiMode : = last ; end if else : skip ; end if ( cnt , last ) : = ( 1 , x ) ; else : cnt : = cnt + 1 ; end if end for if cnt = 0 : skip ; else if cnt > maxCnt : ( maxCnt , loMode , hiMode ) : = ( cnt , last , last ) ; else if cnt = maxCnt : if last < loMode : loMode : = last ; end if if last > hiMode : hiMode : = last ; end if else : skip ; end if The constant NAN is supposed to be a value that is different from all possible data values ( and always compares as different ) . At the end , the variable maxCnt contains the highest frequency observed . The result is delivered in a pair of program variables : loMode for the lowest data value having maxCnt occurrences , and hiMode for the highest data value having maxCnt occurrences . If the data is unimodal , these two will be the same . If it is possible to append an `` infinite '' value to the data ( or any value exceeding all original data values ) , the last block can ( and should ) be omitted . A problem with including this algorithm in the text of the article is that this is `` original research '' . -- Lambiam 15 : 38 , 8 May 2007 ( UTC ) Before computing the mode of a series of values it is probable wise to see if the distribution is unimodal . The dip test can be used for this purpose . If it is not unimodal this may complicate the programming somewhat . Determining the number of modes in an arbitrary list of numbers if it is not unimodal is difficult . It may be impossible but I am not sure if this is a known fact . DrMicro ( talk ) 13 : 35 , 7 July 2012 ( UTC ) Infinite mode ( edit ) Can someone give an example of `` Furthermore , like the mean , the mode of a probability distribution can be ( plus or minus ) infinity '' ? -- Rumping 00 : 07 , 7 September 2007 ( UTC ) I 've replaced the sentence by one that seems more true . -- Lambiam 12 : 28 , 8 September 2007 ( UTC ) Thought not . Thanks -- Rumping 11 : 56 , 10 September 2007 ( UTC ) Are you trying to say that the distribution associated with the Cantor function does have a defined mode ? -- Lambiam 14 : 29 , 10 September 2007 ( UTC ) Not at all - just that I originally doubted whether there was a dististibution on the reals with an infinite mode . As to your question , it is an interesting point ; I think it might be possible to say that the modes of the Cantor distribution are the members of the Cantor set . See what you think of the following singular distribution : imagine a random variable X on ( 0 , 1 ) with p ( x ) = 2x . X obviously has a mode at x = 1 . Then define a random variable Y determined by X by ( a ) writing X as a binary fraction ( with 1 as 0.1111 ... ) , ( b ) changing all the ' 1 ' digits to ' 2 ' digits , and ( c ) reading the result as a ternary fraction . This is a monotonic transformation so the mode of Y should be at 0.2222 ... ( base 3 ) , i.e. at 1 . I have not convinced myself and I wo n't press the point . -- Rumping 16 : 10 , 10 September 2007 ( UTC ) It is indeed an interesting point , and it crossed my mind that the Cantor set could be said to be the mode . On the other hand , the somewhat loose definition given for mode ( `` the most frequent value assumed by a random variable '' ) is not designed for such pathological cases , and it would be stressing its applicability beyond its scope . I see that the anonymous editor who set up the `` Probability distribution '' box at Cantor distribution agreed , giving `` Mode : n / a '' . For the Rumping distribution , the answer 1 seems rather reasonable ; in an experimental process , the experimentator would definitely be led to hypothesize this , and in the limit , using appropriately finer and finer discretizations as the number of trials grows , the modes of the discretized distributions will tend to 1 . -- Lambiam 23 : 02 , 10 September 2007 ( UTC ) Comparison of mean , median and mode : move to `` average '' ? ( edit ) Does anyone else think this section would fit better in average ? I propose moving it there with a link to it from here . Let me know what you think . Qwfp ( talk ) 14 : 50 , 22 February 2008 ( UTC ) In my opinion , Average should really be rewritten to cover mainly the three well - known measures of central tendency , arithmetic mean , median and mode ( with `` See also '' s for Running average aka Moving average and Weighted average aka Weighted mean ) , and then this section can be moved to the rewritten article Average . The current content of Average -- inasmuch as it is not OR -- should be merged into Mean . Unfortunately , we did not reach consensus on this over at Talk : Average , where it was even argued that mentioning the concept of statistical mode might harm laypeople who would not know how to use it in a safe way . -- Lambiam 11 : 13 , 23 February 2008 ( UTC ) I think it belongs in a section on a central tenancy article . Central tendency currently redirects to average , which I think is a mistake because average is just one example of a measure of central tendency . Comparison logically belongs there . Jason Quinn ( talk ) 01 : 34 , 21 July 2008 ( UTC ) Also , I should mention that anybody searching for `` central tendency '' is likely a technical person not interested in most of the average article . They are interested in what all the different measures are to apply in some application they are building . I will in the next week or so break the redirect and start a new article if nobody persuades me otherwise . Jason Quinn ( talk ) 01 : 38 , 21 July 2008 ( UTC ) I do n't like the current average article at all . I think it should focus much more on just the arithmetic mean and the mean and central tendency pages should discuss the rest . Jason Quinn ( talk ) 01 : 42 , 21 July 2008 ( UTC ) The article Central tendency redirects to Average because it was merged with that article . As used in statistics , average and measure of central tendency are synonyms . The mean , the median and the mode are all different kinds of averages . As I wrote on the talk page of Average : ( 1 ) Just do a Google search on ( `` measures of central tendency '' ) . The first hit : `` This section defines the three most common measures of central tendency : the mean , the median , and the mode . '' ( 2 ) The next : `` Measures of central tendency -- mean , median , and mode -- can help you capture , with a single number , what is typical of the data . '' ( 3 ) And so on . The search term ( `` measures of average '' ) gives similar results : -- Lambiam 06 : 26 , 27 November 2007 ( UTC ) P.S. And here is a quote from the intro paragraph of our own article Mean : `` It is sometimes stated that the ' mean ' means average . This is incorrect if `` mean '' is taken in the specific sense of `` arithmetic mean '' as there are different types of averages : the mean , median , and mode . For instance , average house prices almost always use the median value for the average . '' -- Lambiam 06 : 31 , 27 November 2007 ( UTC ) It is fine if arithmetic mean gets more attention than other kinds of mean and than median and mode , because it is the most common kind of average , but it would be a mistake to leave the others out . But since each already has an article , the treatment in Average can be relatively brief . -- Lambiam 21 : 24 , 26 July 2008 ( UTC ) On a more practical bent , elementary school texts are discussing the three concepts , `` mode , '' `` median , '' and `` mean '' together without even mentioning the `` average '' concept . What drew me to the mode article ( and to the section on mode , mean , and median ) was a basic exercise from my daughter 's sixth grade math text that elicits answers regarding these three particular concepts . The exercise in her homework does not discuss the concept of `` average '' or use `` mean '' interchangeably with the former term . Additionally , from a layman 's perspective , the concepts of `` mean '' or `` average '' , `` mode , '' and `` median '' are distinct concepts , not just different flavors of `` average , '' and the most common use of `` average '' does not encompass either `` mode '' or `` median '' . Otherwise , there would be confusion as to what , for example , the `` average age '' of a given population group was ( i.e. , is it the `` mode , '' `` median , '' or `` mean '' ? ) . A more in - depth treatment of the subtle differences between various `` tendencies '' is best addressed elsewhere ; the topic 's breath is somewhat greater than what most people will be searching for . -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.34. 165.94 ( talk ) 02 : 44 , 26 August 2008 ( UTC ) Better Data Set for the Comparison of common averages table ( edit ) I find it unfortunate that this table uses a different data set for each example , and that the clarity and usefulness would be greatly improved if the same data set was used for each entry . I would like to edit it with the following data set : 1 , 2 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 7 , 9 . This would give a mean of 4 , a median of 3 , and a mode of 2 . -- Pdcurry ( talk ) 23 : 31 , 22 December 2009 ( UTC ) Criticism of the mode ( edit ) Why is n't there a criticism section ? ? ? -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.98. 192.217 ( talk ) 03 : 01 , 25 October 2010 ( UTC ) Probably an error ( edit ) In the Wikipedia article we read `` For samples , if it is known that they are drawn from a symmetric distribution , the sample mean can be used as an estimate of the population mode . '' I propose to change to : `` For samples , if it is known that they are drawn from a symmetric unimodal distribution , the sample mean can be used as an estimate of the population mode . '' Otherwise , it fails for example for values 1 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 5 , 5 , 6 , having mean 3.5 which is not a good estimate of the two modes 2 and 5 . -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.105. 52.132 ( talk ) 22 : 22 , 21 March 2012 ( UTC ) Unimodal distributions ( edit ) I texified the `` Unimodal distributions '' section under median , and found this similar section on this article . However , the two contradict each other . The media article claims that the difference between the mean and median are bounded by σ ( 3 / 5 ) 1 / 2 ( \ displaystyle \ sigma ( 3 / 5 ) ^ ( 1 / 2 ) ) , whereas this article claims that it is σ 3 1 / 2 ( \ displaystyle \ sigma 3 ^ ( 1 / 2 ) ) . Which one is correct ? Tebello TheWHAT ! ! ? ? 21 : 34 , 18 March 2012 ( UTC ) The correct statement is that the difference between the mean and the MEDIAN is σ ( 3 / 5 ) 1 / 2 ( \ displaystyle \ sigma ( 3 / 5 ) ^ ( 1 / 2 ) ) and that the difference between the mean and the MODE is σ 3 1 / 2 ( \ displaystyle \ sigma 3 ^ ( 1 / 2 ) ) . This is what is written in the articles. DrMicro ( talk ) 13 : 31 , 7 July 2012 ( UTC ) Assessment comment ( edit ) The comment ( s ) below were originally left at Talk : Mode ( statistics ) / Comments , and are posted here for posterity . Following several discussions in past years , these subpages are now deprecated . The comments may be irrelevant or outdated ; if so , please feel free to remove this section . Quite a reasonable article , though the language could perhaps be made simpler and flow better in places ( i 've just had a go at the first sentence ) . This is n't a complex concept and not as important as the mean or median in practice so i do n't think the article needs to be any longer -- if anything , it should be more concise . Qwfp ( talk ) 15 : 00 , 22 February 2008 ( UTC ) Last edited at 15 : 00 , 22 February 2008 ( UTC ) . Substituted at 20 : 06 , 1 May 2016 ( UTC ) Proposed removal of section ( edit ) I plan to remove the section Confidence interval for the mode with a single data point unless I hear an objection . There are at least three problems with this section : Undue weight . It comprises well over 1 / 3 of the article , despite being about a very esoteric point ( samples with only a single data point ) . At least part of it does n't make sense ( the first part of the subsection `` Statistical tests '' ) . It assumes at the beginning that we know the mode , in order to form a confidence interval for the mode . Likewise , later in discussing symmetric distributions , the confidence interval for the mean / median / mode depends on the true value of the mean / median / mode . This renders it not useful in practice even if we did have a single - value sample . Let me know if there is any objection to removing the entire section . Loraof ( talk ) 15 : 46 , 24 June 2017 ( UTC ) Different treatment of discrete and continuous ? ( edit ) From the lead : `` The mode of a continuous probability distribution is the value x at which its probability density function has a locally maximum value '' ; `` The mode is not necessarily unique to a given discrete distribution , since the probability mass function may take the same maximum value at several points '' . Rather strange . A multimodal continuous case : several local maxima , possibly of different `` heights '' . But multimodal discrete case : several local maxima of the same `` height '' . Really so ? Boris Tsirelson ( talk ) 18 : 55 , 26 June 2017 ( UTC ) Strange , yes . But this seems to be how statisticians use these terms . References would be worthwhile . I 'll add one for the discrete case .

The RMS is also known as the quadratic mean and is a particular case of the generalized mean with exponent 2 . RMS can also be defined for a continuously varying function in terms of an integral of the squares of the instantaneous values during a cycle . For a cyclically alternating electric current , RMS is equal to the value of the direct current that would produce the same average power dissipation in a resistive load . In Estimation theory , the root mean square error of an estimator is a measure of the imperfection of the fit of the estimator to the data .

In Physics , the RMS current is the `` value of the direct current that dissipates power in a resistor . '' In the case of a set of n values ( x 1 , x 2 , ... , x n ) ( \ displaystyle \ ( x_ ( 1 ) , x_ ( 2 ) , \ dots , x_ ( n ) \ ) ) , the RMS x r m s = 1 n ( x 1 2 + x 2 2 + ⋯ + x n 2 ) . ( \ displaystyle x_ ( \ mathrm ( rms ) ) = ( \ sqrt ( ( \ frac ( 1 ) ( n ) ) \ left ( x_ ( 1 ) ^ ( 2 ) + x_ ( 2 ) ^ ( 2 ) + \ cdots + x_ ( n ) ^ ( 2 ) \ right ) ) ) . ) The corresponding formula for a continuous function ( or waveform ) f ( t ) defined over the interval T 1 ≤ t ≤ T 2 ( \ displaystyle T_ ( 1 ) \ leq t \ leq T_ ( 2 ) ) is f r m s = 1 T 2 − T 1 ∫ T 1 T 2 ( f ( t ) ) 2 d t , ( \ displaystyle f_ ( \ mathrm ( rms ) ) = ( \ sqrt ( ( 1 \ over ( T_ ( 2 ) - T_ ( 1 ) ) ) ( \ int _ ( T_ ( 1 ) ) ^ ( T_ ( 2 ) ) ( ( f ( t ) ) ) ^ ( 2 ) \ , dt ) ) ) , ) and the RMS for a function over all time is f r m s = lim T → ∞ 1 T ∫ 0 T ( f ( t ) ) 2 d t . ( \ displaystyle f_ ( \ mathrm ( rms ) ) = \ lim _ ( T \ rightarrow \ infty ) ( \ sqrt ( ( 1 \ over ( T ) ) ( \ int _ ( 0 ) ^ ( T ) ( ( f ( t ) ) ) ^ ( 2 ) \ , dt ) ) ) . ) The RMS over all time of a periodic function is equal to the RMS of one period of the function . The RMS value of a continuous function or signal can be approximated by taking the RMS of a sequence of equally spaced samples . Additionally , the RMS value of various waveforms can also be determined without calculus , as shown by Cartwright . In the case of the RMS statistic of a random process , the expected value is used instead of the mean .

Graph of a sine wave 's voltage vs. time ( in degrees ) , showing RMS , peak ( PK ) , and peak - to - peak ( PP ) voltages . If the waveform is a pure sine wave , the relationships between amplitudes ( peak - to - peak , peak ) and RMS are fixed and known , as they are for any continuous periodic wave . However , this is not true for an arbitrary waveform , which may or may not be periodic or continuous . For a zero - mean sine wave , the relationship between RMS and peak - to - peak amplitude is : Peak - to - peak = 2 2 × R M S ≈ 2.8 × R M S .

Another special case , useful in statistics , is given in # Relationship to other statistics . ( If the waveforms are in phase , then their RMS amplitudes sum directly . ) Uses ( edit ) In electrical engineering ( edit ) Voltage ( edit ) Further information : Root mean square AC voltage In electrical engineering , a special case of # RMS of waveform combinations ( see also # Relationship to other statistics ) is : R M S Total = R M S DC 2 + R M S AC 2 ( \ displaystyle RMS_ ( \ text ( Total ) ) = ( \ sqrt ( ( RMS_ ( \ text ( DC ) ) ) ^ ( 2 ) + ( RMS_ ( \ text ( AC ) ) ) ^ ( 2 ) ) ) ) where R M S DC ( \ displaystyle RMS_ ( \ text ( DC ) ) ) refers to the direct current component of the signal and R M S AC ( \ displaystyle RMS_ ( \ text ( AC ) ) ) is the alternating current component of the signal . Average electrical power ( edit ) Further information : AC power Electrical engineers often need to know the power , P , dissipated by an electrical resistance , R. It is easy to do the calculation when there is a constant current , I , through the resistance . For a load of R ohms , power is defined simply as : P = I 2 R . ( \ displaystyle P = I ^ ( 2 ) R . ) However , if the current is a time - varying function , I ( t ) , this formula must be extended to reflect the fact that the current ( and thus the instantaneous power ) is varying over time . If the function is periodic ( such as household AC power ) , it is still meaningful to discuss the average power dissipated over time , which is calculated by taking the average power dissipation : P avg ( \ displaystyle P_ ( \ text ( avg ) ) \ , \ ! ) = ⟨ I ( t ) 2 R ⟩ ( \ displaystyle ( ) = \ left \ langle I ( t ) ^ ( 2 ) R \ right \ rangle \ , \ ! ) ( where ⟨ ... ⟩ ( \ displaystyle \ langle \ ldots \ rangle ) denotes the mean of a function ) = R ⟨ I ( t ) 2 ⟩ ( \ displaystyle ( ) = R \ left \ langle I ( t ) ^ ( 2 ) \ right \ rangle \ , \ ! ) ( as R does not vary over time , it can be factored out ) = I RMS 2 R ( \ displaystyle ( ) = I_ ( \ text ( RMS ) ) ^ ( 2 ) R \ , \ ! ) ( by definition of RMS ) So , the RMS value , I , of the function I ( t ) is the constant current that yields the same power dissipation as the time - averaged power dissipation of the current I ( t ) . Average power can also be found using the same method that in the case of a time - varying voltage , V ( t ) , with RMS value V , P Avg = V RMS 2 R . ( \ displaystyle P_ ( \ text ( Avg ) ) = ( V_ ( \ text ( RMS ) ) ^ ( 2 ) \ over R ) . ) This equation can be used for any periodic waveform , such as a sinusoidal or sawtooth waveform , allowing us to calculate the mean power delivered into a specified load . By taking the square root of both these equations and multiplying them together , the power is found to be : P Avg = V RMS I RMS . ( \ displaystyle P_ ( \ text ( Avg ) ) = V_ ( \ text ( RMS ) ) I_ ( \ text ( RMS ) ) . ) Both derivations depend on voltage and current being proportional ( i.e. , the load , R , is purely resistive ) . Reactive loads ( i.e. , loads capable of not just dissipating energy but also storing it ) are discussed under the topic of AC power . In the common case of alternating current when I ( t ) is a sinusoidal current , as is approximately true for mains power , the RMS value is easy to calculate from the continuous case equation above . If I is defined to be the peak current , then : I RMS = 1 T 2 − T 1 ∫ T 1 T 2 ( I p sin ( ω t ) ) 2 d t . ( \ displaystyle I_ ( \ text ( RMS ) ) = ( \ sqrt ( ( 1 \ over ( T_ ( 2 ) - T_ ( 1 ) ) ) \ int _ ( T_ ( 1 ) ) ^ ( T_ ( 2 ) ) \ left ( I_ ( \ text ( p ) ) \ sin ( \ omega t ) \ right ) ^ ( 2 ) dt ) ). \ , \ ! ) where t is time and ω is the angular frequency ( ω = 2π / T , where T is the period of the wave ) . Since I is a positive constant : I RMS = I p 1 T 2 − T 1 ∫ T 1 T 2 sin 2 ( ω t ) d t . ( \ displaystyle I_ ( \ text ( RMS ) ) = I_ ( \ text ( p ) ) ( \ sqrt ( ( 1 \ over ( T_ ( 2 ) - T_ ( 1 ) ) ) ( \ int _ ( T_ ( 1 ) ) ^ ( T_ ( 2 ) ) ( \ sin ^ ( 2 ) ( \ omega t ) ) \ , dt ) ) ) . ) Using a trigonometric identity to eliminate squaring of trig function : I RMS = I p 1 T 2 − T 1 ∫ T 1 T 2 1 − cos ( 2 ω t ) 2 d t I RMS = I p 1 T 2 − T 1 ( t 2 − sin ( 2 ω t ) 4 ω ) T 1 T 2 ( \ displaystyle ( \ begin ( aligned ) I_ ( \ text ( RMS ) ) & = I_ ( \ text ( p ) ) ( \ sqrt ( ( 1 \ over ( T_ ( 2 ) - T_ ( 1 ) ) ) ( \ int _ ( T_ ( 1 ) ) ^ ( T_ ( 2 ) ) ( 1 - \ cos ( 2 \ omega t ) \ over 2 ) \ , dt ) ) ) \ \ I_ ( \ text ( RMS ) ) & = I_ ( \ text ( p ) ) ( \ sqrt ( ( 1 \ over ( T_ ( 2 ) - T_ ( 1 ) ) ) \ left ( ( t \ over 2 ) - ( \ sin ( 2 \ omega t ) \ over 4 \ omega ) \ right ) _ ( T_ ( 1 ) ) ^ ( T_ ( 2 ) ) ) ) \ end ( aligned ) ) ) but since the interval is a whole number of complete cycles ( per definition of RMS ) , the sin terms will cancel out , leaving : I RMS = I p 1 T 2 − T 1 ( t 2 ) T 1 T 2 = I p 1 T 2 − T 1 T 2 − T 1 2 = I p 2 . ( \ displaystyle I_ ( \ text ( RMS ) ) = I_ ( \ text ( p ) ) ( \ sqrt ( ( 1 \ over ( T_ ( 2 ) - T_ ( 1 ) ) ) \ left ( ( t \ over 2 ) \ right ) _ ( T_ ( 1 ) ) ^ ( T_ ( 2 ) ) ) ) = I_ ( \ text ( p ) ) ( \ sqrt ( ( 1 \ over ( T_ ( 2 ) - T_ ( 1 ) ) ) ( ( T_ ( 2 ) - T_ ( 1 ) ) \ over 2 ) ) ) = ( I_ ( \ text ( p ) ) \ over ( \ sqrt ( 2 ) ) ) . ) A similar analysis leads to the analogous equation for sinusoidal voltage : V RMS = V p 2 . ( \ displaystyle V_ ( \ text ( RMS ) ) = ( V_ ( \ text ( p ) ) \ over ( \ sqrt ( 2 ) ) ) . ) Where I represents the peak current and V represents the peak voltage . Because of their usefulness in carrying out power calculations , listed voltages for power outlets ( e.g. , 120 V in the USA , or 230 V in Europe ) are almost always quoted in RMS values , and not peak values . Peak values can be calculated from RMS values from the above formula , which implies V = V × √ 2 , assuming the source is a pure sine wave . Thus the peak value of the mains voltage in the USA is about 120 × √ 2 , or about 170 volts . The peak - to - peak voltage , being double this , is about 340 volts . A similar calculation indicates that the peak mains voltage in Europe is about 325 volts , and the peak - to - peak mains voltage , about 650 volts . RMS quantities such as electric current are usually calculated over one cycle . However , for some purposes the RMS current over a longer period is required when calculating transmission power losses . The same principle applies , and ( for example ) a current of 10 amps used for 12 hours each day represents an RMS current of 5 amps in the long term . The term `` RMS power '' is sometimes erroneously used in the audio industry as a synonym for `` mean power '' or `` average power '' ( it is proportional to the square of the RMS voltage or RMS current in a resistive load ) . For a discussion of audio power measurements and their shortcomings , see Audio power . Speed ( edit ) Main article : Root - mean - square speed In the physics of gas molecules , the root - mean - square speed is defined as the square root of the average squared - speed . The RMS speed of an ideal gas is calculated using the following equation : v RMS = 3 R T M ( \ displaystyle ( v_ ( \ text ( RMS ) ) ) = ( \ sqrt ( 3RT \ over ( M ) ) ) ) where R represents the ideal gas constant , 8.314 J / ( mol K ) , T is the temperature of the gas in kelvins , and M is the molar mass of the gas in kilograms . The generally accepted terminology for speed as compared to velocity is that the former is the scalar magnitude of the latter . Therefore , although the average speed is between zero and the RMS speed , the average velocity for a stationary gas is zero . Error ( edit ) Main article : Root - mean - square error When two data sets -- one set from theoretical prediction and the other from actual measurement of some physical variable , for instance -- are compared , the RMS of the pairwise differences of the two data sets can serve as a measure how far on average the error is from 0 . The mean of the pairwise differences does not measure the variability of the difference , and the variability as indicated by the standard deviation is around the mean instead of 0 . Therefore , the RMS of the differences is a meaningful measure of the error . In frequency domain ( edit ) The RMS can be computed in the frequency domain , using Parseval 's theorem . For a sampled signal x ( n ) = x ( t = n T ) ( \ displaystyle x ( n ) = x ( t = nT ) ) , where T ( \ displaystyle T ) is the sampling period , ∑ n = 1 N x 2 ( n ) = 1 N ∑ m = 1 N X ( m ) 2 ( \ displaystyle \ sum _ ( n = 1 ) ^ ( N ) ( x ^ ( 2 ) ( n ) ) = ( \ frac ( 1 ) ( N ) ) \ sum _ ( m = 1 ) ^ ( N ) ( \ bigl ) X ( m ) ( \ bigr ) ^ ( 2 ) ) , where X ( m ) = FFT ( x ( n ) ) ( \ displaystyle X ( m ) = \ operatorname ( FFT ) \ ( x ( n ) \ ) ) and N is number of samples and FFT coefficients . In this case , the RMS computed in the time domain is the same as in the frequency domain : R M S ( x ( n ) ) = 1 N ∑ n x 2 ( n ) = 1 N 2 ∑ m X ( m ) 2 = ∑ m X ( m ) N 2 . ( \ displaystyle \ mathrm ( RMS ) \ ( x ( n ) \ ) = ( \ sqrt ( ( \ frac ( 1 ) ( N ) ) \ sum _ ( n ) ( x ^ ( 2 ) ( n ) ) ) ) = ( \ sqrt ( ( \ frac ( 1 ) ( N ^ ( 2 ) ) ) \ sum _ ( m ) ( ( \ bigl ) X ( m ) ( \ bigr ) ) ^ ( 2 ) ) ) = ( \ sqrt ( \ sum _ ( m ) ( \ left ( \ frac ( X ( m ) ) ( N ) ) \ right ^ ( 2 ) ) ) ) . ) Relationship to other statistics ( edit ) If x ̄ ( \ displaystyle ( \ bar ( x ) ) ) is the arithmetic mean and σ x ( \ displaystyle \ sigma _ ( x ) ) is the standard deviation of a population or a waveform then : x r m s 2 = x ̄ 2 + σ x 2 = x 2 ̄ . ( \ displaystyle x_ ( \ mathrm ( rms ) ) ^ ( 2 ) = ( \ overline ( x ) ) ^ ( 2 ) + \ sigma _ ( x ) ^ ( 2 ) = ( \ overline ( x ^ ( 2 ) ) ) . ) From this it is clear that the RMS value is always greater than or equal to the average , in that the RMS includes the `` error '' / square deviation as well . Physical scientists often use the term `` root mean square '' as a synonym for standard deviation when it can be assumed the input signal has zero mean , i.e. , referring to the square root of the mean squared deviation of a signal from a given baseline or fit . This is useful for electrical engineers in calculating the `` AC only '' RMS of a signal . Standard deviation being the root mean square of a signal 's variation about the mean , rather than about 0 , the DC component is removed ( i.e. RMS ( signal ) = Stdev ( signal ) if the mean signal is 0 ) . A special case of this , particularly helpful in electrical engineering , is given above .

Its third 26 - episode season aired in Europe in June 2010 . In the universe of Galactik Football , the inhabited worlds of the Zaelion Galaxy compete in Galactik Football , a sport analogous to football , but played seven to a side . The game is complicated by the addition of Flux , which enhances a player 's attributes such as speed , strength , and agility , or grants special powers such as teleportation . The story follows the fate of an inexperienced Galactik Football team , the Snow Kids , as they aim to compete in and win the Galactik Football Cup . Contents ( hide ) 1 Episodes 2 Plot 2.1 Season 1 2.2 Season 2 2.3 Season 3 3 Characters 4 Club Galactik 5 Episodes 6 References Episodes ( edit ) Main article : List of Galactik Football episodes Plot ( edit ) Season 1 ( edit ) The story begins during a football match between the home team of planet Akillian and the Shadows . As Aarch , captain of the Akillians , takes a direct free kick , an explosion is heard and an avalanche sweeps over the stadium , marking the beginning of the Akillian Ice Age and the loss of The Breath , Akillian 's Flux . The storyline jumps forward 15 years . Aarch and his friend Clamp , a robotic technician , arrive back on Akillian for the first time since the game . Aarch aims to create a new Akillian Galactik Football team capable of winning the Cup , and selects a group of talented teenagers for his team : D'Jok , Sinedd , Micro-Ice , Mei , Thran , Ahito , Rocket , and Tia . However , Rocket 's father and Aarch 's brother does not want him on the team , and agree only to let him play on the condition that the newly named Snow Kids win a match against the incumbent Akillian team , the Red Tigers , who are coached by Aarch 's estranged old friend and team - mate , Artegor Nexus . During her tryout , Tia reveals that she has the power of the long - lost Breath of Akillian . The Snow Kids beat the Red Tigers , becoming the new Akillian team . However , an embittered Artegor lures Sinedd away from the Snow Kids and recruits him to the Shadows , whom he has agreed to coach . As the Snow Kids progress through the competition , each develops the Breath of Akillian . There are some intra-team tensions caused by Tia and Rocket 's burgeoning relationship and Micro-Ice's unrequited crush on Mei . Unknown to any of them is that all seven of the players have been affected by the Meta - Flux , a synthetic undetectable Flux , inadvertently created by Clamp and pirate Sonny Blackbones , that was the true origin of the Akillian Ice Age . This Flux is now coveted by the ruthless General Bleylock , who happily endangers the Snow Kids to get his hands on it . With the help of Clamp and his old partner , the pirate Sonny Blackbones , the Snow Kids escape General Bleylock 's machinations and win the Galactik Football Cup . Season 2 ( edit ) In season 2 , Ahito falls ill and is replaced as goalkeeper by his cousin Yuki . Also , Rocket is suspended from the team due to illegal use of The Breath and is replaced by Mark , another young Akillian footballer , who had previously been considered as a substitute player . In Rocket 's absence D'Jok is made captain . After Ahito 's recovery he and Yuki share duties as goalkeeper and upon finding in his favour the League allows Rocket to return to the team , which he eventually did . D'Jok remains captain on Rocket 's return and leads the team to a second consecutive GFC victory . Season 3 ( edit ) A year after their second Galactic Football Cup victory in succession , the mysterious Lord Phoenix invites everyone in the galaxy to a special mixed - flux tournament on the planet Paradisia . After a bad friendly match against the Shadows , D'Jok and Mei have an argument . Mei dumps D'Jok and joins the Shadows . Yuki leaves the Snow Kids temporarily to join the Elektras , and D'Jok leaves the team after being recruited by Team Paradisia . A Wamba named Lun - Zia joins the Snow Kids for the mixed - flux tournament . Due to the injection of flux in the core of the Planet Paradisia , Paradisia explodes but luckily everyone was evacuated from the planets with the help of the Galactik Football Players . There is also the Galactik Football Cup which was won by the Snow Kids vs Team Paradisia . This made the Snow kids win the 3 cup . Disney XD UK aired the first 8 episodes of season 3 in 2010 . It was 10 October 2011 before Disney XD was able to air episode 9 of season 3 . The remaining episodes have been aired on consecutive days , with the series finale airing on 27 October 2011 . Characters ( edit ) D'Jok - D'Jok is considered to be the star player of the Snow Kids and plays as the striker . He is dedicated to Galactik Football and tries his best to make sure the Snow Kids wins the Galactik Football Cup . In season 1 , D'Jok was brought up by his foster mom Maya , who took him in as her adoptive son upon his biological mother 's request before she died .

Finally , he is forced to admit his illness to Aarch and asks to be removed from play . In season three , it was revealed Ahito has the ability to absorb flux and control it , which was the cause of his illness in season two .

Clamp - Professor Clamp ( also once known as Yarrit Labnor ) is the technical advisor for the Snow Kids and one of the creators of The Metaflux .

Aarch - He is Akillian 's former star player and now the founder and coach of the Snow Kids . He is the brother of Norata , uncle of Rocket and the love interest of Galactik Football League President Adium . As a coach , Aarch shows a tough but fair attitude towards his team but is generally kind and admiring of his players talents . He shows no favoritism and tends to make the better choice for the team . He is never usually put down by the attitudes of other people such as Artegor who constantly mocked him in the first season . Aarch usually remains calm in stressfull situations however if something appears that could lower the chance of winning , he usually gets stern and shouts but ( mostly ) for all the right reasons . He also shows a large amount of care for his players wellbeing such as when Rocket disappeared in The Storm and when he left to play Netherball . Akillian 's greatest player , Aarch is a footballing legend to the football fans of Planet Akillian . He first started his athletic career in midfield offence as Striker for Planet Akilian and captained the last team to play under the Akillian colours before the Great Ice Age . He was also the last person to use the Breath of Akillian before its disappearance , using the Breath at the moment of the Meta - Flux explosion . The explosion devastated Akillian , causing a huge avalanche to fall upon the stadium . Although not all of the casualties were listed , Norata , Aarch 's brother , lost his left leg in the catastrophe . Akillian 's axis shifted , bringing about an Ice Age and causing Akillian 's flux , The Breath , to vanish . After the onset of the Ice Age Aarch and his best friend Artegor were invited to join team Shadow . He left Akillian to pursue his football career , abandoning girlfriend and fellow player Adium as well as the injured Norata in the process . Among the Shadows the two players absorbed the team 's flux and were able to play with the Smog , allowing Aarch to regain and even exceed his previous abilities . However , during a match against Team Cyclops Aarch lost control of the Smog and collapsed . Realising that the Smog was making him sick and that his life was in danger he decided to leave Team Shadow , an act which caused a rift between himself and Artegor that ended their friendship . He was sent to the Wambas home planet , where he recovered slowly in the care of a medic , Dame Simbai . What he did in the years after his recovery is unknown , but at some point he encountered Professor Clamp , a robotics expert and engineer , who encouraged him to return to Akillian and pursue his dream of reviving the planet 's Akilian 's once great football team . Aarch 's arrival on Akillian was met with mixed reactions , especially by those he felt had abandoned them years before . The younger generation , however were thrilled to meet their sporting hero and many turned up to try out from Aarch 's team . From this , Aarch picked a group of seven , which soon increased to eight on the addition of his nephew Rocket . He renovated the old Akillian stadium and turns it into Aarch Academy , where with Professor Clamp as engineer and later Dame Simbai as the team 's medic , the Snow Kids were coached . Club Galactik ( edit ) Galactik Football was to have its own virtual world and an internet MMO game called Club Galactik . Development of the game was announced in early 2009 by the show 's producer , Alphanim , and MMO game publisher Virtual Fairground . The project went to development hell and was never delivered after Virtual Fairground closed .

Season 1 Episode 7 Directed by Scott Brazil Written by David Greenwalt Production code 4V07 Original air date April 14 , 1997 Guest appearance ( s ) Mark Metcalf as Master David Boreanaz as Angel Kristine Sutherland as Joyce Summers Julie Benz as Darla Andrew J. Ferchland as Anointed One Episode chronology ← Previous `` The Pack '' Next → `` I , Robot ... You , Jane '' List of Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes `` Angel '' is the seventh episode of season 1 of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer . It was written by co-executive producer David Greenwalt and directed by Scott Brazil . The narrative follows Buffy Summers ( Sarah Michelle Gellar ) , vampire slayer , coming to terms with her feelings for Angel ( David Boreanaz ) , who is revealed to be a vampire cursed with a soul . However , Darla ( Julie Benz ) is playing a deadly game manipulating both Buffy and Angel to the Master 's ( Mark Metcalf ) will . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Production 3 Broadcast and reception 4 Continuity 4.1 Arc significance 5 Cultural references 6 References 7 External links Plot ( edit ) The Master sends a trio of armoured warrior vampires after Buffy . They ambush her , but Angel arrives to help her . Angel is injured during the fight and Buffy invites him back to her house . When Angel takes his shirt off , Buffy notices a tattoo and asks him if he was stalking her , because she felt his presence at the Bronze . He shrugs it off . Buffy asks Angel why he fights vampires and he reveals that his family was killed by vampires . The next morning , Giles informs the group that the vampire trio were known as The Three , warrior vampires controlled by the Master . The Master allows Darla to kill The Three , as a lesson in the use of power for Collin , the Anointed One . The next day , Buffy returns to Angel . She notices her diary askew and tries to explain away entries that reveal fantasies about `` A '' . Angel assures her that he did not read the diary . He then confesses his attraction towards her . They kiss . Suddenly , Angel pulls back with a snarl of distress , showing his vampire face . Buffy screams in shock and he dives out the window . Giles researches Angel 's history and notices the peculiarity that , although he was previously infamous as the sadistic killer known as Angelus , Angel has shunned the company of other vampires since coming to America and apparently has completely stopped preying on humans . Darla cons Buffy 's mother into inviting her in and bites her . Angel hears Joyce 's cry and rushes in . Darla shoves the now - unconscious Joyce into Angel 's arms and escapes out the back door . Angel resists the impulse to drink , but Buffy sees him and is horrified . At the hospital , Joyce 's last memory is of inviting Buffy 's `` study friend '' inside . Buffy misunderstands , thinking Joyce means Angel rather than Darla , and storms out to kill him . Giles talks further with Joyce and learns that it was Darla , not Angel , who bit Joyce . With Xander and Willow in tow , he rushes to find Buffy to warn her of the trap . Buffy tracks Angel to the deserted Bronze and demands an explanation ; Angel tells how he was cursed by Gypsies who restored his human soul so that he would be eternally tormented with the guilt of his past sins . He denies biting Joyce , yet confesses wanting to , as well as wanting to kill Buffy . The Slayer lays aside her crossbow and slowly offers her throat to him . Suddenly , Darla emerges from the shadows with a pair of handguns . Hearing gunfire , Giles , Willow and Xander rush in and distract Darla . Looming up from behind , Angel stakes Darla through the heart . In their Hellmouth lair , Collin consoles the Master for his loss of Darla at Angel 's hands . Spying Angel across the crowded room at the Bronze , Buffy goes to thank him -- and to tell him goodbye . Their banter trails to silence and they deeply kiss one last time . Buffy does n't notice that the cross she 's wearing -- the one Angel gave her weeks ago at their first meeting -- was scorching his chest . Production ( edit ) During the production of this episode , it took the makeup department 60 to 90 minutes to apply the vampire prosthetic on David Boreanaz . Angel 's Hugo Boss duster is worth over $1,000 . Broadcast and reception ( edit ) `` Angel '' was first broadcast on The WB on April 14 , 1997 . It earned a Nielsen rating of 2.3 on its original airing . Noel Murray of The A.V. Club gave `` Angel '' a grade of A , calling it the best episode thus far . He praised how Buffy inviting Angel into her home was used as a metaphor , how that `` ambiguity '' was used to tease the audience , and the `` multitude of character touches , funny bits of dialogue , and milieu - enriching moments '' . DVD Talk 's Phillip Duncan called the episode `` excellent '' , highlighting the `` well - crafted '' dialogue - heavy part and the `` poignant ending '' . A review from the BBC praised the way the episode was constructed and noted the importance of it character-wise , but called it `` rather mundane '' . Continuity ( edit ) Buffy invites Angel into her house in this episode , an invitation she will later revoke in `` Passion '' . Buffy mentions The Three in the Season Three episode `` Faith , Hope & Trick '' when describing past experiences with slaying to Faith . Arc significance ( edit ) This episode provides many revelations about Angel . It is revealed that Angel is a vampire with a soul who was named Angelus ( The One with the Angelic Face ) and killed his own family when he first became a vampire . It is revealed that he is 240 years old and has a tattoo on his right shoulder blade . The origin of his gypsy curse , which will play a major role in Season Two , is also told . It is revealed that Darla was once romantically involved with Angelus and that she made him a vampire . Darla dies ( for the second of four times , as revealed in later episodes of Buffy and the spin - off series Angel ) , but she returns at the end of the first season of Angel . This episode is the first time Joyce Summers meets Giles and Angel . Buffy first uses the crossbow : a weapon she continues to use throughout the series , and even favors in the season 4 episode `` Fear , Itself '' Cultural references ( edit ) The Three : The biblical Books of Samuel describe King David 's warriors as being divided up into The Thirty and The Three . The fact that these vampires are warriors may indicate that they owe their origins to King David 's warrior squad of the same name . `` I 'm not going to be fighting Friar Tuck '' : Friar Tuck is a legendary companion of Robin Hood 's . Tuck , among others of the Merry Men , especially Little John , sometimes fights using a quarterstaff ; a deprecation of such fighting as literally mediæval is implied .

Both have distinctly pig noses ( in live shows , the actors simply hold their noses up with tape ) . Despite being complete outsiders to most of the other action in the show , they have become , arguably , the most popular and identifiable characters . Edward , who claims to have served in the armed forces and had been in `` a war '' ( presumably Oman or the Falklands ) , has a distrust of outsiders and is likely to emerge from the back of the shop saying `` Hello , hello ? What 's going on ? What 's all this shouting ? We 'll have no trouble here ! '' ( regardless of whether or not any shouting is actually going on ) and challenge people with the question , `` Are you local ? '' , dismissing those who reply `` no '' with , `` This is a local shop , for local people ; there 's nothing for you here '' -- one of the show 's best - known catch phrases . Tubbs ( real name Tulip ) , though also scared of newcomers , dreams of visiting the `` bright lights '' of towns and cities ( usually Swansea ; also places such as London and Plymouth ) , whose existence Edward has tried to keep from her ( `` There is a Swansea ! '' ) . She tends to ask `` Are you local ? '' with both hope and fear mixed in her voice , but is afraid that visitors may take her `` precious things '' from the shelves of the shop ( in particular , the snow globes on the counter ) . Tubbs has a childlike innocence which is only guided towards malevolent ends by Edward 's influence . Edward and Tubbs have a son , David , who was a mild - mannered civil engineer responsible for building a new road threatening to link Royston Vasey to the outside world ; after they reunite at the end of Series 1 , his parents keep him locked up in the attic , where he develops a bestial nature . During Series 2 they attempt to kidnap a wife for him ; in the end the unwitting victim is Barbara ( see below ) . The couple are serial killers , responsible for a large number of murders in the area . Some of these occurred when trying to kidnap friends and a wife for David ( `` be careful , Tubbs ... we do n't want her to suffocate like the other three '' ) ; and with the intention of stopping the building of `` New Road '' ; others seem to be simply for their gratification ( for example , they kill a backpacker and subsequently the investigating police officer after Tubbs gives the game away - she yells out `` We did n't burn him ! '' ) . At the start of Series 3 , they are seen to have survived the fire set by the inhabitants of Royston Vasey at the end of Series 2 . ( They are wrongly suspected of starting the nosebleed epidemic , which is ironic given the countless murders they actually are responsible for . ) They decide to follow `` New Road '' and contemplate beginning a new life with a new shop in London . Edward 's glasses were broken in the fire leaving him unable to see properly , so Tubbs , using one of the snow globes as a map , leads them along a railway line , and it appears that they are both promptly killed by a speeding train . In the final shot of Series 3 we see a brief glimpse of their grandchildren in Barbara 's arms ; they have the same pig noses as Edward and Tubbs . The pair go on to appear in the live show as their ghosts , although this is set in a continuity outside of the main series , much like the film , where they appear briefly and accidentally kill Jeremy Dyson . In the 2017 specials , the pair re-appear as squatters in a flat in Royston Vasey , having avoided the speeding train by inches and narrowly survived . Their flat ( number 9 , in homage to Shearsmith and Pemberton 's other creation , Inside No. 9 ) is investigated by a local council worker and an investigative journalist , who they both promptly capture and keep as hostages . Tubbs becomes addicted to one of their smartphones and is amazed by its new technology , whilst Edward negotiates the hostages ' release through negotiator Gareth Chapman ( David Morrissey ) , after they find out that Royston Vasey is under threat of being erased due to the local boundary changes . Edward eventually talks by phone to the Prime Minister , who cancels the changes , leaving Tubbs and Edward to face the press . However , their fame is short - lived when Chapman discovers that both hostages have had their faces cut off by the Tattsyrups . The couple go on the run from the police and Tubbs hides in a photo booth , which leads to Papa Lazarou 's wife mine , leaving Edward to wonder where she disappeared to . The couple 's piggy noses may have something to do with the family 's bestiality towards pigs meaning that the reason for their strange noses are genetic . This is implied in the second episode of the first series where Tubbs is shown breast - feeding a piglet . The noses , and Edward 's appearance in particular , may also be indicative of congenital syphilis . Their ages are unknown with certainty ; the Series 1 DVD biographies claim that Edward is 84 years old and Tubbs is 33 ( which is almost impossible given they share the same mother and have an adult son ) . The audio commentaries note a time in the 16th century when Tubbs betrayed Edward and that the couple got married in the 14th century , making them both over 700 years old . Barbara Dixon The trans woman Barbara Dixon ( voiced by Pemberton ) is the proprietor of the local taxi firm , Bab 's Cabs , and likes to regale passengers with graphic descriptions of her upcoming operation . She has a deep voice and a necklace with her name on it nestling in among her chest hair . Her face is briefly seen in Series 1 episode 6 . At the end of Series 1 her operation is botched by substitute surgeon Mr. Chinnery ( see below ) , with the result that in Series 2 Barbara ca n't tell what sex she is any more . To further confuse matters , Barbara is seen heavily pregnant in Series 3 ( and gives birth to twins strongly resembling Tubbs and Edward ) . Barbara was briefly married to the Tattsyrups ' son , David . Their marriage was short - lived as angry townsfolk set fire to the Local Shop on their wedding night , killing David in the blaze . Despite the fact that she was kidnapped for the marriage , she genuinely fell in love with David and was grief - stricken when he died . She re-appears in the 2017 specials , claiming she has moved with the times and being disparaging about anyone using masculine and feminine pronouns . In the radio series , Barbara joins a dating agency , and gets romantically linked with Mr. Ingleby , who funds the last part of her operation . The Dentons Harvey Denton ( Pemberton ) and his wife Val ( Gatiss ) are a bizarre couple whose gaudy 1970s - style house is run in an insanely ordered manner . For examples , they have two rolls of toilet paper labelled `` 1 's '' and `` 2 's , '' and colour - coded towels for every purpose , from hands and spills to pubic hair . They have identical twin daughters , Chloe and Radclyffe . With their long white dresses and their habits of turning up unexpectedly and speaking in unison , they are obvious references to the two girls in The Shining . Harvey 's dream in life is to have a self - lowering toilet seat . Val 's wish is to have a son . Into this formula , their completely normal nephew Benjamin ( Shearsmith ) is interjected . Harvey and Val tell him to make himself at home which is obviously impossible . Harvey is obsessed with male masturbation , forever accusing Benjamin of masturbating , using an array of amusing euphemisms . Harvey is deeply fascinated by toads and has had the basement converted into a special chamber for keeping his huge collection . He is not so fond of frogs , refusing to allow the use of `` The `` F '' word '' in his home . He also owns the toad known to the Mapapa tribe of the Shakiti Hills as the devil 's toad . `` If one were to squeeze its little yellow belly , one 's heart 's desire would be granted . '' With him and his wife , Val , that turned out to be true . He wished for a self - lowering toilet seat , while Val asked for her nephew , Benjamin , to return . Both wishes came true . Benjamin also made the mistake of killing two of Harvey 's favourite toads , Sonny and Cher ( named after the musical duo ) , by frying one on an electric heater and stepping on the other . The Dentons also have a `` nude day , '' which they claim is the first Monday of every month . They cast aside all clothing and go about their daily duties -- including going to the supermarket , the newsagent 's , and the post office , totally naked . When Benjamin walks in on them naked , they force him to strip off as well and answer the door naked . Benjamin surprises the caller and brings him back to the living room , where Harvey and Val are dressed and Benjamin is humiliated . As Series 1 progresses , it becomes clear that the pair , especially Val ( whose greatest wish is to have a son ) , do n't want Benjamin to leave . In the first series , they merely used diversionary tactics , such as telling him that all guests must babysit their daughters . However , in Series 2 their plans become more sinister : they lock Benjamin in his room ; type up a letter made to look as if it was from Benjamin , declaring that he wishes to stay with the Dentons ; and construct a large chamber in the basement where they intend to keep him as a pet . Harvey even publishes a pamphlet entitled `` My Plan to Keep Benjamin Locked Up as Some Kind of Pet , by Harvey Denton '' ; even Val is repulsed . Benjamin discovers this plan and turns the table on Harvey and Val , trapping them in the chamber and forcing them to confess before Chloe and Radclyffe chase him off with a shotgun . However , rather than free their parents , they lock them in . Though they are never expressly killed off , this is the last we see of Harvey and Val and the final shot of the couple is Harvey mouthing `` I ca n't breathe ! '' They were not featured in Series 3 or the film , although one of their previous routines does appear in the live show and in the Christmas Special , Val is seen as head of `` Solutions Inc . '' , though this may not be real , given that it took place in Charlie 's dream . A relative identical to Harvey is briefly seen on the streets of Royston Vasey in the Victorian era , shaking a collection tin in a suggestive manner . Their absence is unusual for such important and frequently used characters . As of the 2017 specials , Harvey has passed away due to unknown circumstances . Val has invited Benjamin to stay for the funeral , only to arrive to the home in disarray . The twins have now grown up and are glad to have new company in the house , and they bake a special cake for Benjamin which is laced with drugs from a toad that induces hallucinations . Benjamin is drugged and entered into a ritual by Val and the twins to resurrect Harvey , whose corpse is kept preserved in the basement . The ritual is a success and Harvey returns within Benjamin 's body . However , much to the dismay of Val and the twins , Harvey goes on a cleanliness rampage which prompts Val to encourage Benjamin to expel the spirit of Harvey via a toad that he earlier swallowed during the ritual . Benjamin succeeds and Val later escorts Benjamin to the train station and invites him to come visit again . Benjamin Denton The first character to be introduced , Benjamin is the only permanent non-local character . To illustrate his normality , Shearsmith wears no makeup of any kind in his portrayal of Benjamin . He is also an important character in some of the major storylines . Originally he stopped at the Dentons ' to stay the night before embarking on a hiking trip with a friend . However , his friend was murdered by Tubbs and Edward . Tubbs now permanently wears the friend 's walking boots . More importantly , at the end of Series 1 , he attempts to escape from Royston Vasey , and is last seen entering Tubbs and Edward 's shop . After some time missing , he returns at the start of Series 2 , dressed in a grass skirt and coconut bra , covered in mud , and collapsing , uttering the word `` local '' as the camera zooms in on the snow globe he was carrying . Though he can not remember where he has been , he has a snow globe taken from the Local Shop . It is implied that Tubbs and Edward had attempted to keep Benjamin as a friend ( or , based on how he 's dressed , a wife ) for David . Taking advantage of Benjamin 's lacklustre state , the Dentons plan to keep him as a pet , although this is foiled when he recovers to a reasonable extent . After escaping the Denton 's home , Benjamin is surprised to find that Royston Vasey has descended into anarchy as a result of the nosebleed epidemic . At this point , he finds the snow globe in his pocket and remembers his experiences in the Local Shop and leads an angry mob there . However , the rioters wrongly interpret this to mean that Tubbs and Edward are responsible for the epidemic , and only when they begin to burn down the local shop in the final scenes of Series 2 does Benjamin realise his mistake . He does not appear in Series 3 , presumably having finally escaped Royston Vasey at the end of Series 2 . Ben returns to Royston Vasey in the 2017 specials to attend the funeral of Harvey . He is drugged by Val and the twins and forced into a ritual to become a host for the spirit of Harvey . The ritual is a success but Val encourages Benjamin to expel the spirit of Harvey . Benjamin succeeds and Val escorts him to the train station and invites him to visit again . Hilary Briss Briss , played by Gatiss , is a butcher and proprietor of Hilary Briss and Son , Royston Vasey 's local butchers . His wares include a secret `` special stuff '' ; a mysterious and highly addictive foodstuff , which , it is implied , is both illegal and hideously immoral . Many authority figures are `` in '' on Briss ' activities , including Police Inspector Cox , Magistrate Maurice Evans ( Pemberton ) and Councillor Samuel Chignell ( Shearsmith ) , all of whom become hopelessly addicted . Though Briss only sells his `` special stuff '' to a select group of gentlemen customers , in Series 2 addiction to the `` special stuff '' leads to a haemorrhagic epidemic , marked by chronic nosebleeds . This results in the death of many local residents , including the Mayor . The `` special stuff '' has reached a wider market through Evans ' wife Eunice , who serves it at her sandwich stall . She has gained access to the `` special stuff '' through Maurice , who has managed to get his whole family addicted . The pure dose of `` special stuff '' which Briss serves was substantially less harmful , but Eunice cut the substance with her own paste , making it poisonous . Before he can be caught , Briss escapes to the Caribbean ( where he continues selling his `` special stuff '' , this time in burgers ) leaving behind his wife , who it turns out is a brown cow . Eunice is arrested along with Inspector Cox , while Sam and Maurice are last seen being caught by the authorities , with nosebleeds , burning evidence of the `` special stuff '' . Maurice is known to have survived as he is mentioned by Eunice in Series 3 , but it is unknown if Sam has also survived . In Series 3 Briss 's store is seen to be boarded up , with graffiti reading ' murderer ' painted across the front . Briss does not appear in Series 3 , though a newspaper story indicates his antics have continued abroad in much the same way as before . In the film The League of Gentlemen 's Apocalypse , he returns , clad in handcuffs , and being chased by the police across the moors . Whereas in the first two series , Briss is a fairly one - dimensional villain , in the film , he is fleshed out into the anti-hero of the piece , before being killed by Dr Erasmus Pea , the film 's parody of occultist John Dee . This may be why , despite the film being set in a `` bubble '' , he does not appear in the 2017 specials . Though it is never revealed what `` special stuff '' consists of , many have assumed that it is human meat . The writers have denied this , stating that they can think of `` nothing more mundane than cannibalism '' , and indicating that it is something much worse , while also claiming it is possible to determine its identity from clues in the series . The Series 1 DVD includes a fragment of brainstorming materials in its bonus section , on which the idea of the butcher selling human appendixes obtained from the local hospital is listed . One of the most popular theories is that it is sausages laced with cocaine , after tying together possible clues throughout Series 1 and 2 , including references to Goodfellas and Midnight Express , the nosebleeds , and the substance becoming more dangerous after being cut . Even the writers were apparently not sure what the special stuff was at the beginning of the series . When Briss takes Maurice along with him to receive a `` special delivery '' in a remote woodland , we see who supplies Briss with the special stuff : a tall ominous man accompanied by a short hunchbacked figure . It is evident that even Briss is terrified of them . The only clue from the original live shows as to what the substance is that it apparently rhymes with `` drawstring '' , which has led some to believe that the `` special stuff '' is circumcised foreskins . ' Bris ' is also the Yiddish name for the Brit milah , the Jewish circumcision ceremony . Some fans have combined the two theories and believe that the `` special stuff '' is sausages containing cocaine enclosed by foreskin sausage casing . According to the character biography in Series 1 , Briss says that his age `` spans great oceans of time '' . It is not known what he means by this . Mr Chinnery A cheerful and disarming man , Mr Matthew Chinnery ( Gatiss ) is the accident - prone local veterinarian ( not `` Dr Chinnery '' , as he is a veterinary surgeon ) . Most of the animals he treats end up dying , including a pregnant cow whose insides were mangled when he attempted to help the calf but put his hand up the wrong passage while a group of schoolchildren looked on , a sheepdog whom he mistakenly euthanised while the owner was out of the room fetching the actual patient , and a tortoise he blasted out of its shell while attempting to give it oxygen . He was also responsible for botching Barbara 's operation . As a result of his many accidents , he gets more and more upset . In the Christmas Special , Mr Chinnery , who fears that he 's on the verge of losing his sanity , told Bernice the story of how his great - grandfather Edmund Chinnery , the foremost vet of his time , was cursed to have any animal he touched `` meet a dreadful end '' and that his descendants would carry the curse after him . Bernice reassured him that there was no such thing as curses and that he , the doctor who first had the curse and his ancestor had had accidents similar to the curse primarily because they were scared of the curse and thought that they had it . She then told him to go and do his next job without any fear of the curse . He does not appear at all in Series 3 , but does make an appearance in the film , The League of Gentlemen 's Apocalypse , treating a giraffe and having a role in the film 's climax . In the live show , he stands in for a magician and gives a new twist to the trick of pulling a rabbit out of a hat . He also re-appears in the 2017 specials treating a hedgehog and causing the death of a stray cat , his curse therefore never being lifted . Many of Chinnery 's disasters are parodies of scenes from the BBC 's All Creatures Great and Small . Mark Gatiss 's performance is reminiscent of Peter Davison , who played Tristan Farnon on that programme . ( Gatiss is also a famous fan of Doctor Who , in which Davison played the title character for three years . The name Chinnery almost certainly comes from actor Dennis Chinnery who played three separate characters in Doctor Who . Coincidentally , Christopher Eccleston , the ninth Doctor , appeared in the League of Gentlemen as the owner of a cat theatre , set up in direct competition to Kenny Harris 's Dog Cinema -- Kenny Harris also played by Mark Gatiss . ) Mark Gatiss was also in an episode of Doctor Who called `` The Lazarus Experiment '' . The wig that he wore playing Professor Richard Lazarus in this episode was the same wig which was used for Mr. Chinnery in The League of Gentlemen . Job centre Steve Pemberton in character as Pauline Campbell - Jones Pauline Campbell - Jones ( Pemberton ) is a Restart officer in charge of leading mandatory ( and exceedingly condescending ) Restart courses which the chronically unemployed are compelled to attend . Pauline makes no secret of her contempt for the `` dole scum '' who attend her course at Royston Vasey 's Jobcentre , and her eventual humiliation at joining their sorry ranks is too much for her to bear . Pauline has an unusual obsession with pens ( she has a tendency to bring one out whenever someone needs one ) and has a startling similarity to Deirdre Barlow from Coronation Street ( a fact commented on by Ross ) . Her catchphrase is `` hokey - cokey , pig in a pokey ! '' which she says when she enters the classroom where her Restart courses take place . Pauline was accused by Cathy Carter - Smith of being a `` psychotic 50 - year - old lesbian '' , to which she responds `` How Dare You ! I 'm 48 ! '' Her starsign is Virgo . She has a framed photograph of herself and another woman naked , who was named on the commentary of the Series 2 DVD as a former lover of Pauline 's named Terri Makepeace . In the commentary of the Series 1 DVD when asked whether she is in a relationship , Pauline says , rather sadly , `` There was someone once '' , and the commentary also names that person as Terri Makepeace . When asked about her family , she claims that they are all dead . Mickey and Ross are two of the people taking the Restart course . Mickey M. Michaels ( Gatiss ) , a well - meaning simpleton who wants to be a fireman , grows increasingly close to Pauline throughout the series - Pauline has developed the nickname `` Mickey Luv '' for him . Ross Gaines ( Shearsmith ) is considerably more intelligent than Pauline and always tries to embarrass her when asked to perform tasks to the rest of the class . However , Pauline usually resorts to violence to secure the upper hand . Ross seems very officious and does n't appear to have any close friends or family -- when Pauline once flicked through his address book it was empty apart from `` Work '' and `` Mother '' . The course is also attended by a man named Colin . At the end of Series 1 , Ross reveals that he 's an undercover agent who has been inspecting Pauline . Naturally , he fires her , forcing her to sit the Restart course which , in Series 2 , is now being led by Cathy Carter - Smith ( Shearsmith ) , who 's just as bad as , if not worse than , Pauline . After Mickey stands up for her , she leaves the class and briefly works with him at the Burger Me fast - food restaurant , but is fired when she spoils Ross 's veggie burger in revenge . In an act of desperation Pauline , with the help of Mickey , takes Ross hostage in the Jobcentre and demands her job back . However , they are n't noticed , partly due to the epidemic and partly due to the fact that no one realises Ross is missing . Ross eventually tricks Mickey and escapes , returning later to have Pauline arrested . As an interesting side note , moments before she is arrested , Pauline is about to take a bite from a sandwich which she had just bought from Eunice Evans ' stall . When she sees Ross with a police officer , she drops the sandwich in surprise . Presumably , had she eaten the sandwich she would have been poisoned . In Series 3 , Pauline is serving time at HM Clitclink Prison alongside Eunice Evans , nicknamed `` The Royston Poisoner , '' whom she bullies and extorts pens from for temporary possession of ' The Exocet ' , an item featured later in Lance 's joke shop . She is given early release when she strikes a deal with Ross to discover how Mickey 's family has been cheating the employment system . However , she feels guilty for her involvement and she and Mickey sleep together and become engaged , cementing their love for each other . Mickey was dressed as a woman at the time and he asks Pauline if that was the reason she had sex with him , but she tells him it was n't . Pauline then has sex with Ross to make sure he does n't tell Mickey about their deal ( although it is also implied she has actually been attracted to him all this time -- these two liaisons and subsequent marriage suggest Pauline is bisexual ) , but he decides to tell him anyway . He claims that he 's doing this because `` you made me hate my job ! '' Pauline runs to get to Mickey before Ross exposes her , and is nearly hit by the speeding Legz Akimbo van ( driven by Geoff ) before being saved by Lance , who sacrifices his life to save hers . She and Mickey get married , and even Ross applauds the happy couple . In the 2017 specials , Pauline appears to have regained her position in the job centre , and a familiar scene is played out with Mickey , Ross and other job seekers . Eventually , it is revealed that the setting is a care home and Pauline has dementia ; Mickey and Ross are helping Pauline to regain her memories . They succeed , however Pauline is soon murdered accidentally by Geoff in a mistaken identity murder , although her body is not shown . Mickey , who has finally acquired his dream position of a fireman , is last seen distraught over her death . In the live show , there is a `` Who Shot Pauline ? '' saga , featuring Ross , Mickey , and Cathy Carter - Smith as suspects . Geoff , Mike , and Brian Geoffrey `` Geoff '' Tipps ( Shearsmith ) , Mike Harris ( Pemberton ) , and Brian Morgan ( Gatiss ) all work at the local plastics injection - moulding company ( In the original radio series , this was a nuclear power plant ) . Mike is the most normal of the trio ( like Shearsmith 's portrayal of Benjamin Denton , Mike is portrayed by Pemberton with no added makeup ) , whilst Brian is slightly less intelligent , though still a good friend . Geoff is rather more tactless and distasteful , always aiming to perfect his comic timing with a series of ill - formed jokes . The three getting together always results in Geoff exploding in a fit of rage , often brandishing a gun and exclaiming `` You knew I had this gun , Brian ! '' In Series 2 , en route to an away - day training session , they become lost in the woods and turn to barbarism in a parody of Deliverance . The reason Mike and Brian remain friends with Geoff despite his outbursts remains a mystery until Mike 's wedding , when it 's revealed that Mike once slept with Geoff 's ex-wife , whilst Brian is now married to her . In Series 3 Geoff travels to London to become a stand - up comedian ( unsuccessfully ) after being sacked by Mike , only to be accused of terrorism and having to return to Royston Vasey as police are searching for him in London . On the way back , he swerves his stolen van into a garden wall and is horribly disfigured . He is finally seen a great deal happier ( albeit with his face heavily bandaged ) in hospital surrounded by his friends , including Mike and his wife Cheryl , regaling them successfully with his comedy routine . The fact that his face has been disfigured concludes his story in Series 3 : the search for him was based on a facial description , so he 's no longer in danger of being caught by the police . Brian is mentioned early in Series 3 ; where Geoff claims a rumour is going around that he was `` bummed by some binmen . '' He appears in person later , having quit his job to search for his missing wife Katie , but eventually both he and his wife are imprisoned inside circus animals -- along with Reenie , Charlie , and Bernice -- by Papa Lazarou . Neither Mike nor Brian appears in The League of Gentlemen 's Apocalypse ; Geoff , however , is an important character in it as he overcomes his anger and cowardice to emerge as the hero -- despite shooting Mark Gatiss at the end of the film when he takes the safety catch off Herr Lipp 's gun . His film character noticeably differs from his television persona : instead of being angry , bitter , and nearly psychotic , he 's more of a bumbling yet kind - hearted underdog . In the 2017 specials , the trio are re-united when Geoff , now working part - time at the local garden centre , pitches a Dragon 's Den style idea to Mike and Brian , the latter having escaped the circus elephant . While Brian rejects the idea , Mike offers Geoff the money to kill his wife Cheryl instead in a mercy killing , Cheryl having since become morbidly obese and unable to leave her bed . Though suffering some false starts , Geoff goes up the stairs and appears to succeed . He phones Mike to deliver the news , only to discover to Mike 's horror that he has gone to the wrong house , Mike and Cheryl having moved to a bungalow four years earlier . It is revealed that the unwitting victim is Pauline , though it is possible Geoff may have bungled the operation since Pauline 's body is never shown . Les McQueen Les McQueen ( Gatiss ) is former rhythm - guitar player for 1970s glam rock band Creme Brulée ( and still has plenty of copies of two of their albums : Just Desserts and Another Helping ) . He now works in the hospital laundry , longing for the old days when he would walk into a Royston Vasey urinal and heads would turn . He constantly bothers other aspiring musicians he meets , boring them with tales of a now outdated and unfashionable music era . When they politely ( or in some cases impolitely ) ask him to leave them alone , he does so , stating sadly ( as if he is trying to convince himself of it , rather than convince whoever he is talking to ) : `` It 's a shit business ; I 'm glad I 'm out of it . '' McQueen is one of the more ' normal ' inhabitants of Royston Vasey ( when compared to other much more bizarre characters such as Tubbs , Edward and Papa Lazarou ) , as well as one of the more tragic characters . As a result , he evoked genuine sympathy from the audience . However , despite this , he 's never given anything close to mercy by the writers , with things getting progressively worse for him . In his final appearance in Series 2 he 's conned out of his redundancy package ( which he was going to use to open a bar abroad ) by the lead singer of Creme Brulée , in the hopes of reuniting the band . In the commentary on the DVD , the writers mention an alternative ending where the reunion actually happens and the band is a success . He makes a brief cameo appearance in Series 3 as the MC for the Little Miss Elegance Beauty Pageant . In the live version of the show , he 's introduced as just having had a major resurgence in his career , with a big record contract and a promising solo career . When he walks on stage he dances to the music before approaching the microphone and is fatally electrocuted . This is followed up in the second live tour , whereby he is waiting to audition for the `` Commu - nativity '' . He talks about his career to a hooded teenager next to him -- who turns out to be the Grim Reaper , waiting to lead the deceased Les McQueen to his afterlife . Les returns in the 2017 specials where he now runs a moderately successful and steady floor polishing business . He is shown at the house of Slim Tim ( Shearsmith ) , a DJ and music producer who lives a wealthy lifestyle due to his success in the rave scene of the 1990s . He discovers that Les is actually famous in the fictional country of Herzlovakia and that the country 's fans would welcome his return to the scene . After Tim offers to relaunch his career , Les , at first shocked and delighted at this discovery , eventually decides to decline the offer as his job is now dependable and he appears to have genuinely moved on from the past . However , in the final scenes , he is shown in full 1970s glam costume at the train station , having decided to pursue his dream and heading to Herzlovakia , thus giving one of the few League characters a genuine happy ending . Rev. Bernice woodall The local vicar , Bernice ( Shearsmith ) does not believe in God or the teachings of the Bible , and constantly berates parishioners for their sins . It seems she takes a perverse pleasure in humiliating people in the confessional booth . In a recent BBC7 League of Gentlemen night Reece Shearsmith revealed that the original incarnation of Bernice was based on This Morning 's agony aunt , Denise Robertson . Her original role in the radio series was as the local DJ . In the live show , she acted as an agony aunt on her own show called `` Hours of Agony '' , supposedly attempting to comfort , but really just insulting , an obese woman . In the Christmas Special it emerges that Bernice witnessed her mother being kidnapped when she was a child , perhaps explaining her cynical outlook on the world . She plays an important role in the Christmas Special , hearing the problems of some of the locals , all the while battling with her past . At first she has no sympathy for the people who tell her about their troubles , but gains more sympathy when Mr Chinnery arrives to describe his problem . When she has helped him `` cure '' himself of the curse , she regains her faith and is preparing the church for the next day when the kidnapper suddenly returns for her , revealing himself as Papa Lazarou . He kidnaps her declaring `` You 're my wife now . '' A picture of her is seen on a missing - persons flier posted on the church noticeboard at the start of the Series 3 , and at the end she is briefly spotted in Papa Lazarou 's big tent -- trapped inside an elephant with Brian , Charlie , and various other people . She also makes an appearance in the movie as the person who organises the attempts to save Royston Vasey and seems to have had some foresight in the coming destruction of the town . She returns to Royston Vasey in the 2017 specials having escaped the elephant and become the new foul - mouthed mayor of the town . Now with Murray Mint , she seeks to prevent the town from being erased from existence due to the local boundary changes . Though she succeeds , she regrets the decision , as it is revealed that she bargained with Papa Lazarou to release her on the condition that fracking would go ahead underneath Royston Vasey to create a `` wife mine '' for him . Mrs Levinson and Iris Krell Middle class Judee Levinson ( Shearsmith ) and her grotesque cleaning lady Iris Krell ( Gatiss ) who both have troubled private lives , indulge in a regular microcosm of the class struggle . Each taunts the other -- Mrs Levinson with tales of her luxury lifestyle ; Iris with lurid stories of her sex life -- in a constant game of one - upmanship ( at last count , at the end of Series 2 , their score was 3 - 3 ) . The stories usually turn to personal insults about upsetting events in each other 's lives with increasingly catastrophic revelations . These stories usually involve their husbands , who are never seen . Judee 's husband , Eddie , is said to be `` King of the Carpet Warehouses , '' but in the final episode of Series 2 , it is revealed that he became bankrupt and died of a heart attack at 42 . Iris 's husband , Ron , is alive and well , but Judee believes him to be nothing more than a sex - hungry prehistoric animal . Iris tells Judee `` He has me doing things that would make a whore blush ! '' At the end of Series 2 , Iris finally snaps back at Judee after all her insults . This causes Judee to break down in tears , and it is revealed that they are mother and daughter . The story goes that a teen Iris gave birth to Judee but they were soon separated . Many years later , Judee hired Iris as a cleaner , but upon discovery of her being her mother , nothing changed between them . This is taken a step further in the live show , where it is suggested not only that both are cleaners who take it in turns to pretend to be their unseen employer , but that they are father and son who 've been pretending to be women all along . In Series 3 , Judee has started up a beauty salon with Charlie Hull called `` Spit and Polish '' . The customers believe her to be giving the massages , when it is in fact Charlie . During this time , Judee develops a crush on Charlie . When people start demanding `` extras '' , Charlie struggles with homosexuality when he finds himself attracted to Tony , the man with whom his wife , Stella , has had an affair . When he confesses to giving `` extras '' , Judee fires him and Stella takes the opportunity to leave him after her gambling addiction finally pays off . Iris , meanwhile , appears to have a brief cameo in Pop 's strip club , where her body is seen dancing and Pop thanks a woman called Iris for her services . She is also heard on one of the massage tapes in the beauty salon , asking Judee if she wants a cup of tea . Iris briefly re-appears in the 2017 specials using a photo booth and being sent underground to what is eventually revealed to be Papa Lazarou 's `` wife mine '' . Charlie and Stella Hull Charlie ( Pemberton ) and Stella ( Shearsmith ) are a husband and wife with a tempestuous relationship . They have grown to hate each other and quarrel endlessly , using unwilling third parties as mediators . These include their daughter 's boyfriend Tony ( Gatiss ) , a waiter , and a baby . Their daughter , Julie , is never seen . In the second live show , it is revealed that Julie died 10 years ago - she drowned in the bath when Stella went to check the lottery numbers instead of looking after her ( `` It was a Rollover ... '' Stella cries ) . Also in this live show , the warring couple appeared to reignite some degree of unity and compassion with Charlie agreeing that Stella could `` still buy her ( Julie ) clothes ! '' Often , when their argument reaches its climax , the third party they used to mediate will either voice their displeasure or otherwise just awkwardly leave . At this point , Charlie and Stella usually appear to forget their argument and start talking to each other normally . Throughout the sketches in Series 1 and 2 , we discover that Stella has a gambling addiction , and that she has slept with other men , including Tony . In the Christmas Special , the story is taken a step further , with both Charlie and Stella speaking to each other directly for the first time during their argument . Charlie visits the Reverend Bernice about a dream he keeps having where he is going to enter a line - dancing competition on Boxing Day . Frustrated with his obsession over his new hobby , Stella seeks help from her friend Donna ( Liza Tarbuck ) , through the form of a secret organisation called `` Solutions , Inc . '' ( which is run by Val Denton and includes other local females such as Pauline , Vinnie & Reenie , Judee & Iris , and Pam Doove , all of whom wear white masks ) . She gives them three items belonging to Charlie , which they use to form a voodoo doll of him , saying that they will let her know the price when the deed is done . During the line - dancing competition , Charlie does very well until he falls ( Val throws the doll to the ground ) and can not stop dancing ( Pauline burns the doll 's feet ) and is forced to douse himself with beer ( the women use water ) to stop himself . He receives an extremely low score , effectively ruining his hobby and his confidence . Later , on a snowy day , Stella is relaxing on a bench with Lee ( Mark Gatiss ) , Donna 's husband , with whom she 's been having an affair . She tells Lee about her success with Solutions , Inc. , but Lee claims he has never heard of the organization despite the help they apparently provided his and Donna 's relationship . Suddenly , blood gushes from his throat and he falls over dead . One of the `` Solutions '' members then appears and reveals herself to be Donna . She used Charlie 's razor to slit Lee 's doll 's throat , saying that this is the price and begins shouting for the police to arrest Stella , having framed her for Lee 's murder . Unfortunately , Bernice cynically believes his story to be nothing more than a `` cheese - dream '' and kicks him out of her church ; he cries as he wanders off into the night . In Series 3 , Charlie forms a partnership with Judee Levinson at the `` Spit and Polish '' beauty salon , where he is soon asked to give `` extras '' to customers ( i.e. helping them masturbate ) . After he gives an `` extra '' to Tony ( with whom Stella has had an affair ) , he struggles with homosexuality after suddenly developing feelings for Tony himself and even desiring to share Stella with Tony . When Tony goes on a date with Judee , Charlie confesses to have given the `` extras . '' As a result , Tony is disgusted and beats him up , before Judee fires him and Stella announces she has won on the pools and is going on holiday without him . To crown it all , his order at the restaurant has to be cancelled , as they are out of calamari . Depressed and rejected , he wanders to the Windermere B & B , but it is closed for a private function . He gets caught up in the accident involving Pauline , Lance , Geoff and the Legz Akimbo van before being kidnapped by Keith Drop ( aka Papa Lazarou ) and imprisoned inside an elephant ( although in his final appearance he is shown to be happy , as Brian was now keeping him company ) . By the time of the 2017 specials , Charlie has escaped the elephant and is now in a homosexual relationship with a man called Gordon ( Gatiss ) , while Stella is with a man named Scott who has physically abused her , as she is shown with a black eye and in a wheelchair . Once again using Luigi as a go - between , the couple are shown to still love each other and care deeply about each other , yet can not seem to move on . Charlie is usually seen wearing his Rotherham United replica home shirt from the 1996 season . Charity shop workers Vinnie Wythenshaw and Reenie Calver are two old ladies ( Shearsmith and Pemberton ) obsessed with carrier bags and whether the toys people donate have the ' special mark ' . They are disorganised and skittish and have a particular dislike for the `` Spastic '' charity shop and `` that Merrill '' , an unseen co-worker who works when they are `` ill '' on Thursdays . Reenie has a hearing disorder meaning that she misinterprets practically everything Vinnie or a customer says . They berate customers for being rude , even though their rudeness is often acceptable given the difficulty they have in processing even the simplest task . In Series 3 , Vinnie is killed when she falls off her motorised mobility scooter onto a large spike , in the process of chasing a red plastic bag that flew out of the Charity Shop window . This bag plays an important role in connecting all the storylines in Series 3 and having great significance in the motor accident at the end of each episode which links all the stories into one larger narrative as we see the accident from differing character 's viewpoints . Her replacement turns out to be Keith Drop , whom Reenie befriends after losing her best friend . However , Keith reveals his true identity to be Papa Lazarou . Reenie and Brian follow him back to his house , attempting to find out what has happened to Brian 's wife , but both are then kidnapped and imprisoned , Reenie inside a crocodile , Brian in an elephant . Whilst the charity shop is briefly shown , neither Vinnie nor Reenie appear in the 2017 specials . Papa Lazarou has also been taking the possessions of his `` wives '' to sell at the charity shop , and this is why Brian begins to suspect that `` Keith '' ( aka Papa Lazarou ) knows something about his wife 's disappearance - he finds , for sale in the shop , a brooch that she was wearing on the day she went missing . Henry Portrait and ally welles Two scruffy teenagers played by Pemberton and Shearsmith , who consider themselves to be film experts , but will only watch a film if it has a sufficient number of `` killings '' . Named after , respectively , `` Henry : Portrait of a Serial Killer '' and Leslie Halliwell . When not browsing the horror section at the local video rental shop or sitting in the cinema , they wandering the streets playing the game `` Who would win out of ... '' in which they pair up famous film characters in hypothetical duels . They shown in the 2017 specials trying and failing to flog pirate DVDs to youths of films that are several years old . Papa Lazarou Main article : Papa Lazarou Papa Lazarou ( Shearsmith ) , blackfaced proprietor of a travelling circus and freak show , The Pandemonium Carnival , with a frighteningly acquisitive nature . In the first episode of series 2 , Lazarou is introduced when he brings his circus to Royston Vasey . The episode also introduces his bizarre pastimes such as selling pegs and collecting wives . In one particularly memorable scene , he breaks into a woman 's house , unrelentingly asking for `` Dave '' ( `` Hello Dave '' and `` Is Dave there ? '' have since become his catchphrases ) . He frightens her into giving him her wedding ring , before declaring `` you 're my wife now '' . This scene in particular was cited as one of the most macabre and genuinely frightening scenes from the series . However , he ran off when he realised that everyone in Royston Vasey was stranger than he was . In series 3 he became even more sinister when he took on the disguise of Keith Drop at the Charity Shop , and demonstrated his more elaborate techniques of keeping his wives ( and anyone who dared to rescue them ) inside of his circus animals . He is very briefly shown in the 2017 specials as the owner of the underground mine lying underneath a photo booth in the high street of Royston Vasey , where unsuspecting female victims go to take photos and get sent down a chute . When Tubbs is captured , she asks what the place is , to which Lazarou responds with a variation of one of his catchphrases : `` It 's a wife mine now ! '' Papa Lazarou quickly became a fan favourite , despite only appearing in four episodes . He also featured in the Christmas special and the League of Gentleman 's Apocalypse . Papa Lazarou seems to display some unusual physiology . When disguised as Keith in the third series , part of his flesh - coloured make - up was scratched off , revealing his familiar colouration beneath . This suggests that this is in fact his natural skin , rather than Blackface . In his film appearance , he coughs up a hairball , composed of his own black curly hair . Papa Lazarou does n't seem to age . In the Christmas Special when he kidnaps Bernice 's mother , he looks the same age as he does in the series . According to interviews with Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton broadcast on the BBC , Papa Lazarou is based on Peter Papalazarou , one of their past landlords . Many of Papa Lazarou 's catchphrases are based on the telephone conversations that Reece used to have with Papalazarou , including an insistence on speaking to Steve which generated the `` Hello , Dave ? '' and `` Is Dave there ? '' catchphrases . Herr Lipp Herr Wolf Lipp ( Pemberton ) is a gay German teacher from Duisburg , who visits Royston Vasey leading a tour group of German students . He becomes obsessed with Justin Smart , a boy with whom he is staying . Justin 's mother comes down with a nosebleed during the epidemic , leaving Lipp more time to spend with him . He has not quite mastered the English language , so he often makes mistakes which come out as double entendres . He has been visiting Britain every year for over a decade , and has presumably come into contact with many schoolboys like Justin . In the penultimate episode of Series 2 , he struggles to express his feelings for Justin before ending up throwing some drug - laced coffee in his face , causing him to collapse . When Lipp says goodbye to Mrs Smart ( who survives the epidemic , having only been a `` carrier '' ) , it is revealed that he and his wife , Lotte ( Gatiss ) , buried Justin alive , with only a snorkel to breathe through . He leaves saying `` See you next year , Justin ! Tschüß ! '' before stroking the snorkel . In the Christmas Special , a man named Matthew Parker ( Shearsmith ) reveals how in 1975 , he was part of an exchange programme and stayed with the Lipps , where Lipp conducted a boys church choir while Lotte played the organ . He gradually comes to believe that Lipp is a vampire and , when Lipp attempts to make advances on him , he misinterprets them as Lipp 's attempts to make him into a vampire , but in the end it is revealed that Lotte is the one who was a vampire , as well as the choirboys , who she turned into vampires because the couple could not have children . Matthew flees the church , but the choirboys appear to consume Lipp before he can escape . He does not appear in Series 3 . In The League of Gentlemen 's Apocalypse he appears as a much more sympathetic character than before . He discovers that he is a character in the programme and disguises himself as his creator , Steve Pemberton , blending in at home and treating his wife and children far better than the real Pemberton appears to . He becomes upset at his status as a one - joke character , feeling it better for him to die than to carry on without Free Will , thus threatening to shoot Mark Gatiss with a flintlock pistol during the film 's climax . He is convinced by Geoff to hand over the gun , Geoff subsequently accidentally shoots Gatiss dead . He is last seen looking after some children seeking their parents after the apocalypse . In the live show , he is allowed some audience participation by playing `` Blind Man 's Poof '' with an unfortunate young man . He is shown revisiting Royston Vasey in the 2017 specials , remarking that he wishes to `` dig up some old friends '' ( presumably meaning Justin ) and watching a game of boys ' football . Legz Akimbo Legz Akimbo ( Oliver Plimsoles , Dave Parkes , Phil Proctor ) is a particularly earnest travelling theatre company . Ollie ( Shearsmith ) is the leader of the troupe ; he writes , directs and produces all the work . He is still trying to cope with his discovery of his wife 's lesbianism . Phil ( Gatiss ) is gay and both Dave ( Pemberton ) and Ollie are jealous of his ability to get film and television roles , but both Phil and Dave hate Ollie . They drive in their van , nicknamed `` Bessie '' ( a possible homage to the car driven in Doctor Who , of which Gatiss is a longtime fan ) and their slogan is `` Legz Akimbo - Put Yourself in a Child ! '' Gatiss ' character , Phil Proctor , is no doubt named for Philip Proctor , a voice actor and longtime member of the radio comedy troupe , The Firesign Theatre , pioneers in the sort of bizarre , dense character comedy that the League explores . In the first series , during a production of `` Everybody Out ! '' ( a play about homosexuality ) at the local school in Royston Vasey , it is revealed that Phil is leaving the group at the end of the month as he has been `` plucked for stardom '' -- a fact that Dave and Ollie put down to his homosexuality . However , by the end of the episode , Dave reveals that he has also decided to leave the group , leaving Ollie exasperated . In Series 2 , they are both back inexplicably , performing in a new play about homeless people called `` No Home 4 Johnny '' . They are seen trying to calm the homeless at the town hall during the nosebleed epidemic , but instead it triggers an angry mob to confront Mayor Vaughan and , eventually , Tubbs and Edward . In Series 3 , they 're together again , working on their latest play , `` Vegetable Soup '' ( about the disabled ) in the `` Salmon of Knowledge '' comedy club in London run by Geoff 's old friend , Don Lynch ( Gatiss ) . However , Ollie insists on trying out `` extended improv '' -- meaning that Dave must order a cake from a bakery whilst pretending he is `` deafblind '' , while Phil sits in a wheelchair . Phil pretends to lie on the pavement and when a man spots him , he complains to Ollie , whose rude behaviour ends up in him being beaten up . Later , Ollie , now himself in a wheelchair from his injuries , witnesses Geoff stealing the Legz Akimbo van and heading back to Royston Vasey . They play an important connecting role in the second live tour , organising a `` Commu - nativity '' for the inhabitants of Royston Vasey . Also , Ollie 's supposed email address was printed in the tour programme . One fan , after sending an email and discovering the address did n't exist , decided to set up the account in his own name , thereafter acting as Ollie on the dedicated forums and MSN Messenger . This mystery lasted for a short while until his identity was revealed as being a fan , with the `` real '' Ollie ( Shearsmith ) having no affiliation with it , although it was referenced in a blog on the official website . In the 2017 specials , Ollie has a dream where he has won an award for the production of one of his shows . In reality , he is a teacher of a year 9 secondary school drama class . The students reveal that Phil and Dave have returned as they and the students want him to perform one of his plays for them , which he does . However , this is also a dream , and he is eventually shown to still be stuck in his dead - end teacher job where he has no respect from any of the students . Additional characters Ernest Foot ( Pemberton ) , a widower who tries to be politically correct but always puts his foot in it . In Series 3 , his brother Peter ( Shearsmith ) rehearses his funeral every weekend , long after his family has had enough ; to get revenge , Ernest reveals his plans to marry Sheila ( Gatiss ) , Peter 's wife , by rehearsing at the time of Peter 's funeral rehearsal and pretending he is already dead . Dr Ira Carlton ( Pemberton ) is a GP who works in Royston Vasey , and a particularly unsympathetic one . If a patient 's illness can not be remedied by pills or medicines from a chemist , he refuses to treat them unless they buy his time by playing party games at his house . He has a habit of crunching Polo mints without sucking them . Dr Carlton is emphatic with his patients that `` we 'll do things PROPERLY '' . One of his patients is the tearful Mrs Beasley ( Gatiss ) , who also visits the Charity Shop in Series 2 . If the patients appear to demonstrate traits often ascribed to hypochondriacs , he orders them to `` go out would you ! '' . Olive Kilshaw ( Shearsmith ) , who works for the Attachments Dating Agency . She is a very condescending and arrogant woman who regularly and openly riducules the clients of the agency who trust her to find them partners . She has a boyfriend of her own that she did n't meet at the agency , and tries to `` help '' Iain Cashmore ( Pemberton ) , a man lacking self - confidence , to find a date in Series 2 , despite taunting him about his appearance and inability to find a girlfriend . Pamela Doove ( Shearsmith ) , a woman trying to be an actress . She can not say a single easy line without putting on an unusual accent of which she is unaware , and mispronouncing most of the words . She auditions for an orange juice commercial directed by Jed Hunter ( Pemberton ) in Series 2 , but , instead of `` Excuse me , has anyone got a bottle of orange juice , '' says ( or rather shouts ) , `` Eskeewd beef ! Have anybody got any bokkle oran doove ? '' . She inexplicably wins the part ; the commercial goes on to become a widespread success . Pam later performs as a Nazi in Keith Drop 's local production of `` The Diary of Anne Frank '' in Series 3 . Jed also witnesses Geoff 's appalling stand up comedy in London in Series 3 . Pamela is seen in the Christmas Special as part of `` Solutions , Inc . '' ; she asks for a bottle of orange juice in addition to the three items Stella needs to collect , and Val dismisses her . In the live shows , she attempts more auditions . In `` The League of Gentlemen Live at Dury Lane '' she auditions for a Shakespearian production , where she characteristically mangles Portia 's `` Quality of Mercy '' speech from The Merchant of Venice . In `` The League of Gentlemen Are Behind You '' she auditions for Legz Akimbo 's production of `` Commu - nativity '' , in which she reads for the part of an angel .

Casey is seen by her parents solely as a means of self - glorification and thus is neglected , at one point being nearly left behind in a car park after her inebriated parents drive off , returning for her as an afterthought . They appear in one episode in Series 3 . Anthony ' Neds ' Needham ( Gatiss ) , an `` adult baby '' who is friends with the 13 - year - old Tris ( Gary Damer ) . Both are obsessive fans of the series Knight Rider , for which reason Neds converts a rusty Renault 5 into a talking car , Maxie Power , with a pre-recorded voice ( `` Let 's solve some crime ! '' and `` Hello , Neds '' are two examples of its sayings ) and the ability to drop paperclips at the press of a button ( the shop had run out of drawing pins ) . Neds persuades Tris to accompany him in `` Maxie Power '' to fight crime . This goes awry , however , when they attempt to prevent a gang from robbing cigarettes from the cash and carry in Series 3 . The pair are last seen trapped inside a burning warehouse . Dr Fish ( Shearsmith ) , a Doctor at St Mary of Bethlehem Hospital who struggles to give bad news to patients ( `` How old would you have been next birthday ? '' ) . In Series 2 , he attempts to apprise Mr Bamford ( Gatiss ) , who would have been 45 next birthday , though will die in an amount of time beginning with 2 , of his terminal illness through obtuse film references . When this fails , he calls in Dr Lucas Wesley ( Pemberton ) , only for him to attempt the same . Dr Wesley later reappears in Series 3 , performing Lance Longthorn 's illicit arm transplant , having been coerced by hospital DJ Mike King . Derek ( Pemberton ) , a drunken vagrant who is actually revealed to be a practising dentist . Toddy ( Gatiss ) , a bingo - caller who recounts a tragic tale of lost love at a local bingo hall .

where have you been where are you going short story | [

] | https://en.wikipedia.org//w/index.php?title=Where_Are_You_Going,_Where_Have_You_Been%3F&oldid=837981099 | Where Are You Going , Where Have You Been ? - Wikipedia Where Are You Going , Where Have You Been ? Jump to : navigation , search `` Where Are You Going , Where Have You Been ? '' is a frequently anthologized short story written by Joyce Carol Oates . The story first appeared in the Fall 1966 edition of Epoch magazine . It was inspired by three Tucson , Arizona murders committed by Charles Schmid , which were profiled in Life magazine in an article written by Don Moser on March 4 , 1966 . Oates said that she dedicated the story to Bob Dylan because she was inspired to write it after listening to his song `` It 's All Over Now , Baby Blue '' . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Critical review 3 Adaptations 4 References 5 External links Plot ( edit ) The story was originally named `` Death and the Maiden '' . The main character of Oates ' story is Connie , a beautiful , self - absorbed 15 - year - old girl , who is at odds with her mother -- once a beauty herself -- and with her dutiful , `` steady '' , and homely older sister . Without her parents ' knowledge , she spends most of her evenings picking up boys at a Big Boy restaurant , and one evening captures the attention of a stranger in a gold convertible covered with cryptic writing . While her parents are away at her aunt 's barbecue , two men pull up in front of Connie 's house and call her out . She recognizes the driver , Arnold Friend , as the man from the drive - in restaurant , and is initially charmed by the smooth - talking , charismatic stranger . He tells Connie he is 18 and has come to take her for a ride in his car with his sidekick Ellie . Connie slowly realizes that he is actually much older , and grows afraid . When she refuses to go with them , Friend becomes more forceful and threatening , saying that he will harm her family , while at the same time appealing to her vanity , saying that she is too good for them . Connie is compelled to leave with him and do what he demands of her . Critical review ( edit ) Considerable academic analysis has been written about the story , with scholars divided on whether it is intended to be taken literally or as allegory . Several writers focus on the series of numbers written on Friend 's car , which he indicates are a code of some sort , but which is never explained : `` Now , these numbers are a secret code , honey , '' Arnold Friend explained . He read off the numbers 33 , 19 , 17 and raised his eyebrows at her to see what she thought of that , but she did n't think much of it . Literary scholars have interpreted this series of numbers as different Biblical references , as an underlining of Friend 's sexual deviancy , or as a reference to the ages of Friend and his victims . The narrative has also been viewed as an allegory for initiation into sexual adulthood , an encounter with the devil , a critique of modern youth 's obsession with sexual themes in popular music , or as a dream sequence . Adaptations ( edit ) The story was loosely adapted into the 1985 film Smooth Talk , starring Laura Dern and Treat Williams . Oates has written an essay named `` Smooth Talk : Short Story into Film '' about the adaptation . The short story is the inspiration and basis for The Blood Brothers ' song `` The Salesman , Denver Max '' .

which of the following is known as the westminster model | [
""

Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations . ( February 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The British Houses of Parliament are situated within the Palace of Westminster , in London The Westminster system is a parliamentary system of government modelled after that which developed in the United Kingdom . This term comes from the Palace of Westminster , the seat of the British parliament . The system is a series of procedures for operating a legislature . It is used , or was once used , in the national legislatures and subnational legislatures of most former British Empire colonies upon gaining responsible government , beginning with the first of the Canadian provinces in 1848 and the six Australian colonies between 1855 and 1890 . However , some former colonies have since adopted either the presidential system ( Nigeria for example ) or a hybrid system ( like South Africa ) as their form of government . Contents ( hide ) 1 Characteristics 2 Operation 3 Role of the head of state 4 Cabinet government 5 Bicameral and unicameral parliaments 6 Washminster system of Australia 7 Criticisms 8 Ceremonies 9 Current countries 10 Former countries 11 See also 12 References 13 Bibliography 14 External links Characteristics ( edit ) A Westminster system of government may include some of the following features : A sovereign or head of state who functions as the nominal or legal and constitutional holder of executive power , and holds numerous reserve powers , but whose daily duties mainly consist of performing ceremonial functions . Examples include Queen Elizabeth II , the governors - general in Commonwealth realms , or the presidents of many countries , and state or provincial governors in federal systems . Exceptions to this are Ireland and Israel , whose presidents are de jure and de facto ceremonial , and the latter possesses no reserve powers whatsoever . A head of government ( or head of the executive ) , known as the prime minister ( PM ) , premier , or first minister . While the head of state appoints the head of government , constitutional convention suggests that a majority of elected Members of Parliament must support the person appointed . If more than half of elected parliamentarians belong to the same political party , then the parliamentary leader of that party typically is appointed . An exception to this was Israel , in which direct prime - ministerial elections were made in 1996 , 1999 and 2001 . An executive branch led by the head of government usually made up of members of the legislature with the senior members of the executive in a cabinet adhering to the principle of cabinet collective responsibility ; such members execute executive authority on behalf of the nominal or theoretical executive authority . An independent , non-partisan civil service which advises on , and implements , decisions of those ministers . Civil servants hold permanent appointments and can expect merit - based selection processes and continuity of employment when governments change . A parliamentary opposition ( in a multi-party system ) with an official Leader of the Opposition . A legislature , often bicameral , with at least one elected house -- although unicameral systems also exist ; legislative members are usually elected by district in first - past - the - post elections ( as opposed to country - wide proportional representation ) . Exceptions to this include New Zealand , which changed in 1993 to use mixed - member proportional representation ; Israel , which has always used country wide proportional representation ; and Australia , which uses preferential voting . A lower house of parliament with an ability to dismiss a government by `` withholding ( or blocking ) Supply '' ( rejecting a budget ) , passing a motion of no confidence , or defeating a confidence motion . The Westminster system enables a government to be defeated or forced into a general election independently . A parliament which can be dissolved and snap elections called at any time . Parliamentary privilege , which allows the legislature to discuss any issue it deems relevant , without fear of consequences stemming from defamatory statements or records thereof Minutes of meetings , often known as Hansard , including an ability for the legislature to strike discussion from these minutes The ability of courts to address silence or ambiguity in the parliament 's statutory law through the development of common law . Another parallel system of legal principles also exists known as equity . Exceptions to this include India , Quebec in Canada , and Scotland in the UK amongst others which mix common law with other legal systems . Most of the procedures of the Westminster system originated with the conventions , practices , and precedents of the Parliament of the United Kingdom , which form a part of what is known as the Constitution of the United Kingdom . Unlike the uncodified British constitution , most countries that use the Westminster system have codified the system , at least in part , in a written constitution . However , uncodified conventions , practices , and precedents continue to play a significant role in most countries , as many constitutions do not specify important elements of procedure : for example , some older constitutions using the Westminster system do not mention the existence of the cabinet or the prime minister , because these offices were taken for granted by the authors of these constitutions . Sometimes these conventions , reserve powers , and other influences collide in times of crisis and in such times the weaknesses of the unwritten aspects of the Westminster system , as well as the strengths of the Westminster system 's flexibility , are put to the test . As an illustrative example , in the Australian constitutional crises of 1975 the Governor - General of Australia , Sir John Kerr , dismissed Prime Minister Gough Whitlam on his own reserve - power authority and replaced him with opposition leader Malcolm Fraser . Operation ( edit ) The pattern of executive functions within a Westminster System is quite complex . In essence , the head of state , usually a monarch or president , is a ceremonial figurehead who is the theoretical , nominal or de jure source of executive power within the system . In practice , such a figure does not actively exercise executive powers , even though executive authority may be exercised in their name . The head of government , usually called the prime minister or premier , will ideally have the support of a majority in the responsible house , and must in any case be able to ensure the existence of no absolute majority against the government . If the parliament passes a resolution of no confidence , or refuses to pass an important bill such as the budget , then the government must either resign so that a different government can be appointed or seek a parliamentary dissolution so that new general elections may be held in order to re-confirm or deny the government 's mandate . Executive authority within a Westminster System is essentially exercised by the Cabinet , along with more junior ministers , although the head of government usually has the dominant role within the ministry . In the United Kingdom , the sovereign theoretically holds executive authority , even though the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the Cabinet effectively implement executive powers . In a parliamentary republic like India , the President is the de jure executive , even though executive powers are essentially instituted by the Prime Minister of India and the Council of Ministers . In Israel , however , executive power is vested de jure and de facto in the cabinet , and the President of Israel is de jure and de facto a ceremonial figurehead . As an example , the Prime Minister and Cabinet ( as the de facto executive body in the system ) generally must seek the permission of the head of state when carrying out executive functions . If , for instance the British Prime Minister wished to dissolve parliament in order for a general election to take place , the Prime Minister is constitutionally bound to request permission from the sovereign in order to attain such a wish . This power ( along with others such as appointing ministers in the government , appointing diplomats , declaring war , and signing treaties , for example ) is known as the Royal Prerogative , which in modern times is exercised by the sovereign solely on the advice of the Prime Minister . Since the British sovereign is a constitutional monarch , he or she abides by the advice of his or her ministers , except when executing reserve powers in times of crisis . This custom also occurs in other Westminster Systems in the world , in consequence from the influence of British colonial rule . In Commonwealth realms such as Canada , Australia and New Zealand , the Prime Minister is obligated to seek permission from the Governor - General when implementing executive decisions , in a manner similar to the British practice . An analogous scenario also exists in Commonwealth republics , such as India or Trinidad and Tobago , where there is a President , though not in Israel or Japan , where the respective pri me ministers have the full legal power to implement executive decisions , and presidential ( in Israel ) or imperial ( in Japan ) approval is not required . The head of state will often hold meetings with the head of government and cabinet , as a means of keeping abreast of governmental policy and as a means of advising , consulting and warning ministers in their actions . Such a practice takes place in the United Kingdom and India . In the UK , the sovereign holds confidential weekly meetings with the Prime Minister to discuss governmental policy and to offer her opinions and advice on issues of the day . In India , the Prime Minister is constitutionally bound to hold regular sessions with the President , in a similar manner to the aforementioned British practice . In essence , the head of state , as the theoretical executive authority , `` reigns but does not rule '' . This phrase means that the head of state 's role in government is generally ceremonial and as a result does not directly institute executive powers . The reserve powers of the head of state are sufficient to ensure compliance with some of their wishes . However , the extent of such powers varies from one country to another and is often a matter of controversy . Such an executive arrangement first emerged in the United Kingdom . Historically , the British sovereign held and directly exercised all executive authority . George I of Great Britain ( reigned 1714 to 1727 ) was the first British monarch to delegate some executive powers to a Prime Minister and a cabinet of the ministers , largely because he was also the monarch of Hanover in Germany and did not speak English fluently . Over time , arrangement continued to exercise executive authority on the sovereign 's behalf . Such a concept was reinforced in The English Constitution ( 1876 ) by Walter Bagehot , who emphasised the `` dignified '' and `` efficient '' aspects of government . In this sense Bagehot was stating that the sovereign should be a focal point for the nation , while the PM and cabinet actually undertook executive decisions . Role of the head of state ( edit ) The head of state or his or her representative ( such as a governor - general ) formally appoints as the head of government whomever commands the confidence of the elected chamber of the legislature and invites him or her to form a government . In the UK , this is known as kissing hands . Although the dissolution of the legislature and the call for new elections is formally performed by the head of state , the head of state , by convention , acts according to the wishes of the head of government . A president , monarch , or governor - general might possess clearly significant reserve powers . Examples of the use of such powers include the Australian constitutional crisis of 1975 and the Canadian King - Byng Affair in 1926 . The Lascelles Principles were an attempt to create a convention to cover similar situations , but have not been tested in practice . Because of differences in their written constitutions , the formal powers of monarchs , governors - general , and presidents vary greatly from one country to another . However , as sovereigns and governors - general are not elected , and some presidents may not be directly elected by the people , they are often shielded from any public disapproval stemming from unilateral or controversial use of their powers . Cabinet government ( edit ) Main article : Cabinet collective responsibility In the book The English Constitution , Walter Bagehot emphasised the divide of the constitution into two components , the Dignified ( that part which is symbolic ) and the Efficient ( the way things actually work and get done ) , and called the Efficient `` Cabinet Government '' . Although there have been many works since emphasising different aspects of the `` Efficient '' , no one has seriously questioned Bagehot 's premise that the divide exists in the Westminster system , though Israel and Japan operates without the `` Dignified '' part of government . Members of the Cabinet are collectively seen as responsible for government policy , a policy termed cabinet collective responsibility . All Cabinet decisions are made by consensus , a vote is rarely taken in a Cabinet meeting . All ministers , whether senior and in the Cabinet , or junior ministers , must support the policy of the government publicly regardless of any private reservations . When a Cabinet reshuffle is imminent , a lot of time is taken up in the conversations of politicians and in the news media , speculating on who will , or will not , be moved in and out of the Cabinet by the Prime Minister , because the appointment of ministers to the Cabinet , and threat of dismissal from the Cabinet , is the single most powerful constitutional power which a Prime Minister has in the political control of the Government in the Westminster system . The Official Opposition and other major political parties not in the Government , will mirror the governmental organisation with their own Shadow Cabinet made up of Shadow Ministers . Bicameral and unicameral parliaments ( edit ) In a Westminster system , some members of parliament are elected by popular vote , while others are appointed . Nearly all Westminster - based parliaments have a lower house with powers based on those of the House of Commons ( under various names ) , comprising local , elected representatives of the people ( with the only exception being elected entirely by Nationwide PR ) . Most also have a smaller upper house , which is made up of members chosen by various methods : Termless appointees , either lifetime or retiring , from successive Prime Ministers ( such as the Canadian Senate ) Appointees of the premier and the opposition leader ( such as the Jamaican Senate ) Direct election ( such as the Australian Senate ) Election by electoral colleges or sub-national legislatures ( such as the Indian Rajya Sabha ) Hereditary nobility ( such as the British House of Lords until the House of Lords Act 1999 ) Any Combination of the above ( such as the Malaysian National Assembly ) In the UK , the lower house is the de facto legislative body , while the upper house practices restraint in exercising its constitutional powers and serves as a consultative body . In other Westminster countries , however , the upper house can sometimes exercise considerable power . Some Westminster - derived parliaments are unicameral for two reasons : The Parliament of New Zealand , Parliament of Queensland , and the parliaments of Canadian provinces have abolished their upper houses . The Parliament of Malta , the Papua New Guinea Parliament , the Legislative Council of Hong Kong , and the Israeli Parliament never had upper houses . Hong Kong , a former British crown colony and currently a special administrative region of the People 's Republic of China , has a unicameral Legislative Council . While the Legislative Councils in British Australasian and North American colonies were unelected upper houses and some of them had since abolished themselves , the Legislative Council of Hong Kong has remained the sole chamber and had in 1995 evolved into a fully elected house , yet only part of the seats are returned by universal suffrage . Responsible government was never granted during British colonial rule , and the Governor remained the head of government until the transfer of sovereignty in 1997 , when the role was replaced by the Chief Executive . Secretaries had remained to be chosen by the Chief Executive not from the Legislative Council , and their appointments need not be approved by the Legislative Council . Although essentially more presidential than parliamentary , the Legislative Council had inherited many elements of the Westminster system , including parliamentary powers , privileges and immunity , and the right to conduct inquiries , amongst others . Minutes are known as Hansards , and the theme colour of the meeting chamber is red as in other upper houses . Government secretaries and other officials are seated on the right hand side of the President in the chamber . The Chief Executive may dissolve the Legislative Council under certain conditions , and is obliged to resign , e.g. , when a re-elected Legislative Council passes again a bill that he or she had refused to sign promulgate . Washminster system of Australia ( edit ) The Australian Senate Australia is , in many respects , a unique hybrid with influences from the United States Constitution as well as from the traditions and conventions of the Westminster system . Australia is exceptional because the government faces a fully elected upper house , the Senate , which must be willing to pass all its legislation . Although government is formed in the lower house , the House of Representatives , the support of the Senate is necessary in order to govern . The Senate maintains the ability similar to that held by the British House of Lords , prior to the enactment of the Parliament Act 1911 , to block supply against the government of the day . A government that is unable to obtain supply can be dismissed by the Governor - General : however , this is generally considered a last resort and is a highly controversial decision to take , given the conflict between the traditional concept of confidence as derived from the lower house and the ability of the Senate to block supply . Many political scientists have held that the Australian system of government was consciously devised as a blend or hybrid of the Westminster and the United States systems of government , especially since the Australian Senate is a powerful upper house like the U.S. Senate ; this notion is expressed in the nickname `` the Washminster mutation '' . The ability of upper houses to block supply also features in the parliaments of most Australian states . Criticisms ( edit ) This article possibly contains original research . Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations . Statements consisting only of original research should be removed . ( February 2008 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Cabinet members do not have much independence to actively disagree with government policy , even for productive reasons . A cabinet member may be forced to resign simply for opposing one aspect of a government 's agenda , even though they agreed with the majority of other proposals . Westminster cabinets also have a tendency to be very large . As the cabinet is the chief organ of power and influence in the government , members of parliament may actively lobby for a position in cabinet once their party is elected to power . The Prime Minister , who is also party leader , will have an active interest in promoting as many of these members from their own party as possible . Westminster governments usually do not have a very strong tradition of separation of powers , in practice ( apart from the separation between the executive / legislature and the judiciary ) . Though the head of state , be it governor - general , monarch , or president , will have nominal powers to `` check '' those of the prime minister , in practice these individuals are usually regarded as little more than figureheads who are expected not to actively intervene in day - to - day politics . Prime ministers under any Westminster system have ample freedom to appoint a large variety of individuals , such as judges , cabinet ministers , and other senior bureaucrats . Nevertheless , prime ministers can usually do only as much as public opinion and the balance of party membership of parliament will let them do . In practice , government in multi-party consociational systems , such as Belgium or the Netherlands , is always made up of coalitions , and prime ministers must keep the coalition partners happy in order to retain their support on votes of confidence . By contrast , in countries with a strong two - party system , such as the United Kingdom and Australia , coalitions rarely occur except when a third party wins an unusually large number of parliamentary seats , or in times of national crisis , when all parties may be represented in the government in order to promote national unity . The threat posed by non-confidence votes is often used to justify extremely well - disciplined legislative parties in Westminster systems . In order to ensure the government always has the confidence of the majority of the house , the political culture of Westminster nations often makes it highly unusual for a legislator to vote against their party . Critics argue this in turn undermines the freedom and importance of Members of Parliament ( MPs ) in day - to - day legislating , making the cabinet the only organ of government where individual legislators can aspire to influence the decisions of the government . Most senior policy will be made at the cabinet level , regardless of what individual MPs may or may not decide in committee , thus reducing the strength of committees . Their greatest power is often the ability to force a government to reveal certain pieces of information . Ceremonies ( edit ) The Westminster system has a very distinct appearance when functioning , with many British customs incorporated into day - to - day government function . A Westminster - style parliament is usually a long , rectangular room , with two rows of seats and desks on either side . The chairs are positioned so that the two rows are facing each other . This arrangement is said to have derived from an early Parliament which was held in a church choir . Traditionally , the opposition parties will sit in one row of seats , and the government party will sit in the other . Of course , sometimes a majority government is so large that it must use the `` opposition '' seats as well . In the lower house at Westminster ( the House of Commons ) there are lines on the floor in front of the government and opposition benches that members may cross only when exiting the chamber . It is often rumoured that the distance between the lines is that of the length of two swords although no documentary evidence exists to support this and , in fact , weapons have never been allowed in the Palace of Westminster at any time . At one end of the room sits a large chair , for the Speaker of the House . The speaker usually wears a black robe , and in many countries , a wig . Robed parliamentary clerks often sit at narrow tables between the two rows of seats , as well . Other ceremonies sometimes associated with the Westminster system include an annual Speech from the Throne ( or equivalent ) in which the Head of State gives a special address ( written by the government ) to parliament about what kind of policies to expect in the coming year , and lengthy State Opening of Parliament ceremonies that often involve the presentation of a large ceremonial mace .

In some cases , certain aspects of the Westminster system were retained or codified in their constitutions . For instance South Africa and Botswana , unlike Commonwealth realms or parliamentary republics such as India , have a combined head of state and head of government but the President remains responsible to the lower house of parliament ; it elects the President at the beginning of a new Parliament , or when there is a vacancy in the office , or when the sitting President is defeated on a vote of confidence . If the Parliament can not elect a new President within a short period of time ( a week to a month ) the lower house is dissolved and new elections are called . The Union of South Africa between 1910 and 1961 , and the Republic of South Africa between 1961 and 1984 . The 1983 constitution abolished the Westminster system in South Africa . Newfoundland gave up self - government in 1934 and reverted to direct rule from London . Use of the Westminster system resumed in 1949 when Newfoundland became a province of Canada . Rhodesia between 1965 and 1979 , and Zimbabwe between 1980 and 1987 . The 1987 constitution abolished the Westminster system . Nigeria following the end of British colonial rule in 1960 , which resulted in the appointment of a Governor - General and then a President , Nnamdi Azikiwe . The system ended with the military coup of 1966 . Ceylon between 1948 and 1972 , and Sri Lanka from 1972 until 1978 when the constitution was remodelled into an Executive presidential system . Burma following independence in 1948 until the 1962 military coup d'état . Ghana between 1957 and 1960 . Tanganyika between 1961 and 1962 . Sierra Leone between 1961 and 1971 . Uganda between 1962 and 1963 . Kenya between 1963 and 1964 . Malawi between 1964 and 1966 . The Gambia between 1965 and 1970 . Guyana between 1966 and 1980 . Fiji between 1970 and 1987 . Japan between 1890 and 1947 , under the Meiji Constitution the Diet of Japan was a bicameral legislature modelled after both the German Reichstag and the Westminster system . Influence from the Westminster system remained in Japan 's Postwar Constitution .

The Westminster system enables a government to be defeated or forced into a general election independently . A parliament which can be dissolved and snap elections called at any time . Parliamentary privilege , which allows the legislature to discuss any issue it deems relevant , without fear of consequences stemming from defamatory statements or records thereof Minutes of meetings , often known as Hansard , including an ability for the legislature to strike discussion from these minutes The ability of courts to address silence or ambiguity in the parliament 's statutory law through the development of common law . Another parallel system of legal principles also exists known as equity . Exceptions to this include India , Quebec in Canada , and Scotland in the UK amongst others which mix common law with other legal systems .",

A business can also be described as an organisation that provides goods and services for human needs . A company or association of persons can be created at law as legal person so that the company in itself can accept limited liability for civil responsibility and taxation incurred as members perform ( or fail ) to discharge their duty within the publicly declared `` birth certificate '' or published policy . Because companies are legal persons , they also may associate and register themselves as companies -- often known as a corporate group . When the company closes it may need a `` death certificate '' to avoid further legal obligations . Businesses serve as conductors of economic activity , and are prevalent in capitalist economies , where most of them are privately owned and provide goods and services allocated through a market to consumers and customers in exchange for other goods , services , money , or other forms of exchange that hold intrinsic economic value . Businesses may also be social nonprofit enterprises or state - owned public enterprises operated by governments with specific social and economic objectives . A business owned by multiple private individuals may form as an incorporated company or jointly organized as a partnership . Countries have different laws that may ascribe different rights to the various business entities . The word `` business '' can refer to a particular organization or to an entire market sector ( for example , `` the finance business '' is `` the financial sector '' ) or to all economic sectors collectively ( `` the business sector '' ) . Compound forms such as `` agribusiness '' represent subsets of the concept 's broader meaning , which encompasses all activity by suppliers of goods and services . Typically private - sector businesses aim to maximize their profit , although in some contexts they may aim to maximize their sales revenue or their market share . Government - run businesses may aim to maximize some measure of social welfare .

By 1303 , the word referred to trade guilds . Usage of company to mean `` business association '' was first recorded in 1553 , and the abbreviation `` co . '' dates from 1769 . The Old English signs ( Northumbrian ) `` care , anxiety , occupation , '' from being `` careful , anxious , busy , occupied , diligent '' ( see busy ( adj . ) ) + - ness . Middle English sense of `` state of being much occupied or engaged '' ( mid-14c . ) is obsolete , replaced by busyness . The sense of `` a person 's work , occupation '' is first recorded late 14c. ( in late Old English big ( adj . ) appears as a noun in the sense `` occupation , state of employment '' ) . Meaning `` what one is about at the moment '' is from the 1590s . The sense of `` trade , commercial engagements '' is first attested 1727 . Forms ( edit ) Main article : List of business entities Forms of business ownership vary by jurisdiction , but several common entities exist : Sole proprietorship : A sole proprietorship , also known as a sole trader , is owned by one person and operates for their benefit . The owner operates the business alone and may hire employees . A sole proprietor has unlimited liability for all obligations incurred by the business , whether from operating costs or judgments against the business . All assets of the business belong to a sole proprietor , including , for example , computer infrastructure , any inventory , manufacturing equipment , or retail fixtures , as well as any real property owned by the sole proprietor . Partnership : A partnership is a business owned by two or more people . In most forms of partnerships , each partner has unlimited liability for the debts incurred by the business . The three most prevalent types of for - profit partnerships are : general partnerships , limited partnerships , and limited liability partnerships . Corporation : The owners of a corporation have limited liability and the business has a separate legal personality from its owners . Corporations can be either government - owned or privately owned . They can organize either for profit or as nonprofit organizations . A privately owned , for - profit corporation is owned by its shareholders , who elect a board of directors to direct the corporation and hire its managerial staff . A privately owned , for - profit corporation can be either privately held by a small group of individuals , or publicly held , with publicly traded shares listed on a stock exchange . Cooperative : Often referred to as a `` co-op '' , a cooperative is a limited - liability business that can organize as for - profit or not - for - profit . A cooperative differs from a corporation in that it has members , not shareholders , and they share decision - making authority . Cooperatives are typically classified as either consumer cooperatives or worker cooperatives . Cooperatives are fundamental to the ideology of economic democracy . Limited liability companies ( LLC ) , limited liability partnerships , and other specific types of business organization protect their owners or shareholders from business failure by doing business under a separate legal entity with certain legal protections . In contrast , unincorporated businesses or persons working on their own are usually not as protected . Franchises : A franchise is a system in which entrepreneurs purchase the rights to open and run a business from a larger corporation . Franchising in the United States is widespread and is a major economic powerhouse . One out of twelve retail businesses in the United States are franchised and 8 million people are employed in a franchised business . A company limited by guarantee . Commonly used where companies are formed for noncommercial purposes , such as clubs or charities . The members guarantee the payment of certain ( usually nominal ) amounts if the company goes into insolvent liquidation , but otherwise , they have no economic rights in relation to the company . This type of company is common in England . A company limited by guarantee may be with or without having share capital . A company limited by shares . The most common form of the company used for business ventures . Specifically , a limited company is a `` company in which the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount individually invested '' with corporations being `` the most common example of a limited company . '' This type of company is common in England and many English - speaking countries . A company limited by shares may be a publicly traded company or a privately held company . A company limited by guarantee with a share capital . A hybrid entity , usually used where the company is formed for noncommercial purposes , but the activities of the company are partly funded by investors who expect a return . This type of company may no longer be formed in the UK , although provisions still exist in law for them to exist . A limited liability company . `` A company -- statutorily authorized in certain states -- that is characterized by limited liability , management by members or managers , and limitations on ownership transfer '' , i.e. , L.L.C. LLC structure has been called `` hybrid '' in that it `` combines the characteristics of a corporation and of a partnership or sole proprietorship '' . Like a corporation , it has limited liability for members of the company , and like a partnership it has `` flow - through taxation to the members '' and must be `` dissolved upon the death or bankruptcy of a member '' . An unlimited company with or without a share capital . A hybrid entity , a company where the liability of members or shareholders for the debts ( if any ) of the company are not limited . In this case doctrine of a veil of incorporation does not apply . Less common types of companies are : Companies formed by letters patent . Most corporations by letters patent are corporations sole and not companies as the term is commonly understood today . Charter corporations . Before the passing of modern companies legislation , these were the only types of companies . Now they are relatively rare , except for very old companies that still survive ( of which there are still many , particularly many British banks ) , or modern societies that fulfill a quasi-regulatory function ( for example , the Bank of England is a corporation formed by a modern charter ) . Statutory companies . Relatively rare today , certain companies have been formed by a private statute passed in the relevant jurisdiction . Note that `` Ltd after the company 's name signifies limited company , and PLC ( public limited company ) indicates that its shares are widely held . '' In legal parlance , the owners of a company are normally referred to as the `` members '' . In a company limited or unlimited by shares ( formed or incorporated with a share capital ) , this will be the shareholders . In a company limited by guarantee , this will be the guarantors . Some offshore jurisdictions have created special forms of offshore company in a bid to attract business for their jurisdictions . Examples include `` segregated portfolio companies '' and restricted purpose companies . There are , however , many , many sub-categories of types of company that can be formed in various jurisdictions in the world . Companies are also sometimes distinguished for legal and regulatory purposes between public companies and private companies . Public companies are companies whose shares can be publicly traded , often ( although not always ) on a stock exchange which imposes listing requirements / Listing Rules as to the issued shares , the trading of shares and future issue of shares to help bolster the reputation of the exchange or particular market of an exchange . Private companies do not have publicly traded shares , and often contain restrictions on transfers of shares . In some jurisdictions , private companies have maximum numbers of shareholders . A parent company is a company that owns enough voting stock in another firm to control management and operations by influencing or electing its board of directors ; the second company being deemed as a subsidiary of the parent company . The definition of a parent company differs by jurisdiction , with the definition normally being defined by way of laws dealing with companies in that jurisdiction . Classifications ( edit ) Main article : Industry classification Agriculture , such as the domestication of fish , animals and livestock , as well as lumber , oil and mining businesses that extract natural resources and raw materials , such as wood , petroleum , natural gas , ores , plants or minerals . Financial services businesses include banks , brokerage firms , credit unions , credit cards , insurance companies , asset and investment companies such as private equity firms , private equity funds , real estate investment trusts , sovereign wealth funds , pension funds , mutual funds , index funds , and hedge funds , stock exchanges , and other companies that generate profits through investment and management of capital . Entertainment companies and mass media agencies generate profits primarily from the sale of intellectual property . They include film studios and production houses , mass media companies such as cable television networks , online digital media agencies , talent agencies , mobile media outlets , newspapers , book and magazine publishing houses . Industrial manufacturers produce products , either from raw materials or from component parts , then export the finished products at a profit . They include tangible goods such as cars , buses , medical devices , glass , or aircraft . Real estate businesses sell , invest , construct and develop properties , including land , residential homes , and other buildings . Retailers , wholesalers , and distributors act as middlemen and get goods produced by manufacturers to the intended consumers ; they make their profits by marking up their prices . Most stores and catalog companies are distributors or retailers . Transportation businesses such as railways , airlines , shipping companies that deliver goods and individuals to their destinations for a fee . Utilities produce public services such as water , electricity , waste management or sewage treatment . These industries are usually operated under the charge of a public government . Service businesses offer intangible goods or services and typically charge for labor or other services provided to government , to consumers , or to other businesses . Interior decorators , beauticians , hairstylists , make - up artists , tanning salons , laundromats , dry cleaners , and pest controllers are service businesses . Activities ( edit ) Accounting ( edit ) Main article : Accounting Accounting is the measurement , processing and communication of financial information about economic entities such as businesses and corporations . The modern field was established by the Italian mathematician Luca Pacioli in 1494 . Accounting , which has been called the `` language of business '' , measures the results of an organization 's economic activities and conveys this information to a variety of users , including investors , creditors , management , and regulators . Practitioners of accounting are known as accountants . The terms `` accounting '' and `` financial reporting '' are often used as synonyms . Finance ( edit ) Main article : Finance Finance is a field that deals with the study of investments . It includes the dynamics of assets and liabilities over time under conditions of different degrees of uncertainty and risk . Finance can also be defined as the science of money management . Finance aims to price assets based on their risk level and their expected rate of return . Finance can be broken into three different sub-categories : public finance , corporate finance and personal finance . Manufacturing ( edit ) Main article : Manufacturing Manufacturing is the production of merchandise for use or sale using labour and machines , tools , chemical and biological processing , or formulation . The term may refer to a range of human activity , from handicraft to high tech , but is most commonly applied to industrial production , in which raw materials are transformed into finished goods on a large scale . Marketing ( edit ) Main article : Marketing Marketing is defined by the American Marketing Association as `` the activity , set of institutions , and processes for creating , communicating , delivering , and exchanging offerings that have value for customers , clients , partners , and society at large . '' The term developed from the original meaning which referred literally to going to a market to buy or sell goods or services . Marketing tactics include advertising as well as determining product pricing . Research and development ( edit ) Main article : Research and development Research and development refer to activities in connection with corporate or government innovation . Research and development constitute the first stage of development of a potential new service or product . Research and development are very difficult to manage since the defining feature of the research is that the researchers do not know in advance exactly how to accomplish the desired result . Sales ( edit ) Main article : Sales Sales are activity related to selling or the amount of goods or services sold in a given time period . Management ( edit ) Main article : Management See also : Outline of business management The efficient and effective operation of a business , and study of this subject , is called management . The major branches of management are financial management , marketing management , human resource management , strategic management , production management , operations management , service management , and information technology management . Owners may manage their businesses themselves , or employ managers to do so for them . Whether they are owners or employees , managers administer three primary components of the business ' value : financial resources , capital ( tangible resources ) , and human resources . These resources are administered in at least five functional areas : legal contracting , manufacturing or service production , marketing , accounting , financing , and human resources . Restructuring state enterprises ( edit ) In recent decades , states modeled some of their assets and enterprises after business enterprises . In 2003 , for example , the People 's Republic of China modeled 80 % of its state - owned enterprises on a company - type management system . Many state institutions and enterprises in China and Russia have transformed into joint - stock companies , with part of their shares being listed on public stock markets . Business process management ( BPM ) is a holistic management approach focused on aligning all aspects of an organization with the wants and needs of clients . BPM attempts to improve processes continuously . It can , therefore , be described as a `` process optimization process '' . It is argued that BPM enables organizations to be more efficient , effective and capable of change than a functionally focused , traditional hierarchical management approach . Organization and regulation ( edit ) See also : Theory of the firm Most legal jurisdictions specify the forms of ownership that a business can take , creating a body of commercial law for each type . The major factors affecting how a business is organized are usually : The size and scope of the business firm and its structure , management , and ownership , broadly analyzed in the theory of the firm . Generally , a smaller business is more flexible , while larger businesses , or those with wider ownership or more formal structures , will usually tend to be organized as corporations or ( less often ) partnerships . In addition , a business that wishes to raise money on a stock market or to be owned by a wide range of people will often be required to adopt a specific legal form to do so . The sector and country . Private profit - making businesses are different from government - owned bodies . In some countries , certain businesses are legally obliged to be organized in certain ways . Tax advantages . Different structures are treated differently in tax law and may have advantages for this reason . Disclosure and compliance requirements . Different business structures may be required to make less or more information public ( or report it to relevant authorities ) and may be bound to comply with different rules and regulations . Many businesses are operated through a separate entity such as a corporation or a partnership ( either formed with or without limited liability ) . Most legal jurisdictions allow people to organize such an entity by filing certain charter documents with the relevant Secretary of State or equivalent and complying with certain other ongoing obligations . The relationships and legal rights of shareholders , limited partners , or members are governed partly by the charter documents and partly by the law of the jurisdiction where the entity is organized . Generally speaking , shareholders in a corporation , limited partners in a limited partnership , and members in a limited liability company are shielded from personal liability for the debts and obligations of the entity , which is legally treated as a separate `` person '' . This means that unless there is misconduct , the owner 's own possessions are strongly protected in law if the business does not succeed . Where two or more individuals own a business together but have failed to organize a more specialized form of vehicle , they will be treated as a general partnership . The terms of a partnership are partly governed by a partnership agreement if one is created , and partly by the law of the jurisdiction where the partnership is located . No paperwork or filing is necessary to create a partnership , and without an agreement , the relationships and legal rights of the partners will be entirely governed by the law of the jurisdiction where the partnership is located . A single person who owns and runs a business is commonly known as a sole proprietor , whether that person owns it directly or through a formally organized entity . Depending on the business needs , an adviser can decide what kind is proprietorship will be most suitable . A few relevant factors to consider in deciding how to operate a business include : General partners in a partnership ( other than a limited liability partnership ) , plus anyone who personally owns and operates a business without creating a separate legal entity , are personally liable for the debts and obligations of the business . Generally , corporations are required to pay tax just like `` real '' people . In some tax systems , this can give rise to so - called double taxation , because first the corporation pays tax on the profit , and then when the corporation distributes its profits to its owners , individuals have to include dividends in their income when they complete their personal tax returns , at which point a second layer of income tax is imposed . In most countries , there are laws which treat small corporations differently from large ones . They may be exempt from certain legal filing requirements or labor laws , have simplified procedures in specialized areas , and have simplified , advantageous , or slightly different tax treatment . `` Going public '' through a process known as an initial public offering ( IPO ) means that part of the business will be owned by members of the public . This requires the organization as a distinct entity , to disclose information to the public , and adhering to a tighter set of laws and procedures . Most public entities are corporations that have sold shares , but increasingly there are also public LLC 's that sell units ( sometimes also called shares ) , and other more exotic entities as well , such as , for example , real estate investment trusts in the USA , and unit trusts in the UK . A general partnership can not `` go public '' . Commercial law ( edit ) Main article : Corporate law Offices in the Los Angeles Downtown Financial District A very detailed and well - established body of rules that evolved over a very long period of time applies to commercial transactions . The need to regulate trade and commerce and resolve business disputes helped shape the creation of law and courts . The Code of Hammurabi dates back to about 1772 BC for example , and contains provisions that relate , among other matters , to shipping costs and dealings between merchants and brokers . The word `` corporation '' derives from the Latin corpus , meaning body , and the Maurya Empire in Iron - Age India accorded legal rights to business entities . In many countries , it is difficult to compile all the laws that can affect a business into a single reference source . Laws can govern treatment of labour and employee relations , worker protection and safety , discrimination on the basis of age , gender , disability , race , and in some jurisdictions , sexual orientation , and the minimum wage , as well as unions , worker compensation , and working hours and leave . Some specialized businesses may also require licenses , either due to laws governing entry into certain trades , occupations or professions , that require special education or to raise revenue for local governments . Professions that require special licenses include law , medicine , piloting aircraft , selling liquor , radio broadcasting , selling investment securities , selling used cars , and roofing . Local jurisdictions may also require special licenses and taxes just to operate a business . Some businesses are subject to ongoing special regulation , for example , public utilities , investment securities , banking , insurance , broadcasting , aviation , and health care providers . Environmental regulations are also very complex and can affect many businesses . Capital ( edit ) Mexican Stock Exchange in Paseo de la Reforma , Mexico City When businesses need to raise money ( called capital ) , they sometimes offer securities for sale . Capital may be raised through private means , by an initial public offering or IPO on a stock exchange , or in other ways . Major stock exchanges include the Shanghai Stock Exchange , Singapore Exchange , Hong Kong Stock Exchange , New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ ( the USA ) , the London Stock Exchange ( UK ) , the Tokyo Stock Exchange ( Japan ) , and Bombay Stock Exchange ( India ) . Most countries with capital markets have at least one . Businesses that have gone public are subject to regulations concerning their internal governance , such as how executive officers ' compensation is determined , and when and how information is disclosed to shareholders and to the public . In the United States , these regulations are primarily implemented and enforced by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC ) . Other western nations have comparable regulatory bodies . The regulations are implemented and enforced by the China Securities Regulation Commission ( CSRC ) in China . In Singapore , the regulatory authority is the Monetary Authority of Singapore ( MAS ) , and in Hong Kong , it is the Securities and Futures Commission ( SFC ) . The proliferation and increasing complexity of the laws governing business have forced increasing specialization in corporate law . It is not unheard of for certain kinds of corporate transactions to require a team of five to ten attorneys due to sprawling regulation . Commercial law spans general corporate law , employment and labor law , health - care law , securities law , mergers and acquisitions , tax law , employee benefit plans , food and drug regulation , intellectual property law on copyrights , patents , trademarks , telecommunications law , and financing . Other types of capital sourcing include crowdsourcing on the Internet , venture capital , bank loans , and debentures . Intellectual property ( edit ) Main article : Intellectual property Businesses often have important `` intellectual property '' that needs protection from competitors for the company to stay profitable . This could require patents , copyrights , trademarks , or preservation of trade secrets . Most businesses have names , logos , and similar branding techniques that could benefit from trademarking . Patents and copyrights in the United States are largely governed by federal law , while trade secrets and trademarking are mostly a matter of state law . Because of the nature of intellectual property , a business needs protection in every jurisdiction in which they are concerned about competitors . Many countries are signatories to international treaties concerning intellectual property , and thus companies registered in these countries are subject to national laws bound by these treaties . In order to protect trade secrets , companies may require employees to sign noncompete clauses which will impose limitations on an employee 's interactions with stakeholders , and competitors . Trade union ( edit ) Main article : Trade union A trade union ( or labor union ) is an organization of workers who have come together to achieve common goals such as protecting the integrity of its trade , improving safety standards , achieving higher pay and benefits such as health care and retirement , increasing the number of employees an employer assigns to complete the work , and better working conditions . The trade union , through its leadership , bargains with the employer on behalf of union members ( rank and file members ) and negotiates labor contracts ( collective bargaining ) with employers . The most common purpose of these associations or unions is `` maintaining or improving the conditions of their employment '' . This may include the negotiation of wages , work rules , complaint procedures , rules governing hiring , firing , and promotion of workers , benefits , workplace safety and policies .

The immediate reactions to On the Origin of Species , the book in which Charles Darwin described evolution by natural selection , included international debate , though the heat of controversy was less than that over earlier works such as Vestiges of Creation . Darwin monitored the debate closely , cheering on Thomas Henry Huxley 's battles with Richard Owen to remove clerical domination of the scientific establishment . While Darwin 's illness kept him away from the public debates , he read eagerly about them and mustered support through correspondence . Religious views were mixed , with the Church of England 's scientific establishment reacting against the book , while liberal Anglicans strongly supported Darwin 's natural selection as an instrument of God 's design . Religious controversy was soon diverted by the publication of Essays and Reviews and debate over the higher criticism . The most famous confrontation took place at the public 1860 Oxford evolution debate during a meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science , when the Bishop of Oxford Samuel Wilberforce argued against Darwin 's explanation . In the ensuing debate Joseph Hooker argued strongly in favor of Darwinian evolution . Thomas Huxley 's support of evolution was so intense that the media and public nicknamed him `` Darwin 's bulldog '' . Huxley became the fiercest defender of the evolutionary theory on the Victorian stage . Both sides came away feeling victorious , but Huxley went on to depict the debate as pivotal in a struggle between religion and science and used Darwinism to campaign against the authority of the clergy in education , as well as daringly advocating the `` Ape Origin of Man '' .

By December 1838 , he had developed the basic principles of his theory . At that time , similar ideas brought others disgrace and association with the revolutionary mob . He was conscious of the need to answer all likely objections before publishing . While he continued with research , he had an immense amount of work in hand analyzing and publishing findings from the Beagle expedition , and was repeatedly delayed by illness . Natural history at that time was dominated by clerical naturalists who saw their science as revealing God 's plan , and whose income came from the Established Church of England . Darwin found three close allies . The eminent geologist Charles Lyell , whose books had influenced the young Darwin during the Voyage of the Beagle , befriended Darwin who he saw as a supporter of his ideas of gradual geological processes with continuing divine Creation of species . By the 1840s Darwin became friends with the young botanist Joseph Dalton Hooker who had followed his father into the science , and after going on a survey voyage used his contacts to eventually find a position . In the 1850s Darwin met Thomas Huxley , an ambitious naturalist who had returned from a long survey trip but lacked the family wealth or contacts to find a career and who joined the progressive group around Herbert Spencer looking to make science a profession , freed from the clerics . This was also a time of intense conflict over religious morality in England , where evangelicalism led to increasing professionalism of clerics who had previously been expected to act as country gentlemen with wide interests , but now were seriously focussed on expanded religious duties . A new orthodoxy proclaimed the virtues of truth but also inculcated beliefs that the Bible should be read literally and that religious doubt was in itself sinful so should not be discussed . Science was also becoming professional and a series of discoveries cast doubt on literal interpretations of the Bible and the honesty of those denying the findings . A series of crises erupted with fierce debate and criticism over issues such as George Combe 's The Constitution of Man and the anonymous Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation which converted vast popular audiences to the belief that natural laws controlled the development of nature and society . German higher criticism questioned the Bible as a historical document in contrast to the evangelical creed that every word was divinely inspired . Dissident clergymen even began questioning accepted premises of Christian morality , and Benjamin Jowett 's 1855 commentary on St. Paul brought a storm of controversy . By September 1854 Darwin 's other books reached a stage where he was able to turn his attention fully to Species , and from this point he was working to publish his theory . On 18 June 1858 he received a parcel from Alfred Russel Wallace enclosing about twenty pages describing an evolutionary mechanism that was similar to Darwin 's own theory . Darwin put matters in the hands of his friends Lyell and Hooker , who agreed on a joint presentation to the Linnean Society on 1 July 1858 . Their papers were entitled , collectively , On the Tendency of Species to form Varieties ; and on the Perpetuation of Varieties and Species by Natural Means of Selection . Darwin , as photographed in 1860 Publication of the Origin of Species ( Edit ) See also : Publication of Darwin 's theory Darwin now worked on an `` abstract '' trimmed from his Natural Selection manuscript . The publisher John Murray agreed the title as On the Origin of Species through Natural Selection and the book went on sale to the trade on 22 November 1859 . The stock of 1,250 copies was oversubscribed , and Darwin , still at Ilkley spa town , began corrections for a second edition . The novelist Charles Kingsley , a Christian socialist country rector , sent him a letter of praise : `` It awes me ... if you be right I must give up much that I have believed '' , it was `` just as noble a conception of Deity , to believe that He created primal forms capable of self development ... as to believe that He required a fresh act of intervention to supply the lacunas which he himself had made . '' Darwin added these lines to the last chapter , with attribution to `` a celebrated author and divine '' . First Reviews ( Edit ) The reviewers were less encouraging . Four days before publication , a review in the authoritative Athenaeum ( by John Leifchild , published anonymously , as was the custom at that time ) was quick to pick out the unstated implications of `` men from monkeys '' already controversial from Vestiges , saw snubs to theologians , summing up Darwin 's `` creed '' as man `` was born yesterday -- he will perish tomorrow '' and concluded that `` The work deserves attention , and will , we have no doubt , meet with it . Scientific naturalists will take up the author upon his own peculiar ground ; and there will we imagine be a severe struggle for at least theoretical existence . Theologians will say -- and they have a right to be heard -- Why construct another elaborate theory to exclude Deity from renewed acts of creation ? Why not at once admit that new species were introduced by the Creative energy of the Omnipotent ? Why not accept direct interference , rather than evolutions of law , and needlessly indirect or remote action ? Having introduced the author and his work , we must leave them to the mercies of the Divinity Hall , the College , the Lecture Room , and the Museum . '' At Ilkley , Darwin raged `` But the manner in which he drags in immortality , & sets the Priests at me , & leaves me to their mercies , is base . He would on no account burn me ; but he will get the wood ready and tell the black beasts how to catch me . '' Darwin sprained an ankle and his health worsened , as he wrote to friends it was `` odious '' . By 9 December when Darwin left Ilkley to come home , he had been told that Murray was organising a second run of 3,000 copies . Hooker had been `` converted '' , Lyell was `` absolutely gloating '' and Huxley wrote `` with such tremendous praise '' , advising that he was sharpening his `` beak and claws '' to disembowel `` the curs who will bark and yelp '' . First response ( Edit ) Richard Owen had been the first to respond to the complimentary copies , courteously claiming that he had long believed that `` existing influences '' were responsible for the `` ordained '' birth of species . Darwin now had long talks with him , and told Lyell that `` Under garb of great civility , he was inclined to be most bitter & sneering against me . Yet I infer from several expressions , that at bottom he goes immense way with us . '' Owen was furious at being included among those defending immutability of species , and in effect said that the book offered the best explanation `` ever published of the manner of formation of species '' , though he did not agree with it in all respects . He still had the gravest doubts that transmutation would bestialise man . It appears that Darwin had assured Owen that he was looking at everything as resulting from designed laws , which Owen interpreted as showing a shared belief in `` Creative Power '' . Darwin had already made his views clearer to others , telling Lyell that if each step in evolution was providentially planned , the whole procedure would be a miracle and natural selection superfluous . He had also sent a copy to John Herschel , and on 10 December he told Lyell of having `` heard by round about channel that Herschel says my Book `` is the law of higgledy - piggledy ''. -- What this exactly means I do not know , but it is evidently very contemptuous. -- If true this is great blow & discouragement . '' Darwin subsequently corresponded with Herschel , and in January 1861 Herschel added a footnote to the draft of his Physical Geography which , while disparaging `` the principle of arbitrary and casual variation and natural selection '' as insufficient without `` intelligent direction '' , said that `` with some demur as to the genesis of man , we are far from disposed to repudiate the view taken of this mysterious subject in Mr. Darwin 's book . '' Geological time ( Edit ) It was known that the geologic time scale was `` incomprehensibly vast '' , if unquantifiable . From 1848 Darwin discussed data with Andrew Ramsay , who had said `` it is vain to attempt to measure the duration of even small portions of geological epochs . '' A chapter of Lyell 's Principles of Geology described the enormous amount of erosion involved in forming the Weald . To demonstrate the time available for natural selection to operate , Darwin drew on Lyell 's example and Ramsay 's data in chapter 9 of On the Origin of Species to estimate that erosion of the Weald 's layered dome of Lower Cretaceous rocks `` must have required 306,662,400 years ; or say three hundred million years `` . The `` necessary corrections '' Darwin made to his drafts for the second edition of the Origin were based on comments from others , particularly Lyell , and added a caveat suggesting a faster rate of erosion of the Weald : `` perhaps it would be safer to allow two or three inches per century , and this would reduce the number of years to one hundred and fifty or one hundred million years . '' Copies of the second edition were advertised as ready on 24 December , in advance of official publication on 7 January 1860 . The Saturday Review of 24 December 1859 strongly criticised the methodology of Darwin 's calculations . On 3 January 1860 , Darwin wrote to Hooker about it : `` Some of the remarks about the lapse of years are very good , & the Reviewer gives me some good & well deserved raps , -- confound it I am sorry to confess the truth . But it does not at all concern main argument . '' A day later , he said to Lyell `` You saw I suppose Saturday Review : argument confined to Geology , but has given me some perfectly just & severe raps on knuckles . '' In the third edition published on 30 April 1861 , Darwin cited the Saturday Review article as reason to remove his calculation altogether . Friendly Reviews ( Edit ) The December 1859 review in the British Unitarian National Review was written by Darwin 's old friend William Carpenter , who was clear that only a world of `` order , continuity , and progress '' befitted an Omnipotent Deity and that `` any theological objection '' to a species of slug or a breed of dog deriving from a previous one was `` simply absurd '' dogma . He touched on human evolution , satisfied that the struggle for existence tended `` inevitably ... towards the progressive exaltation of the races engaged in it '' . On Boxing Day ( 26 December ) The Times carried an anonymous review . The staff reviewer , `` as innocent of any knowledge of science as a babe '' , gave the task to Huxley , leading Darwin to ask his friend how `` did you influence Jupiter Olympus and make him give three and a half columns to pure science ? The old fogies will think the world will come to an end . '' Darwin treasured the piece more than `` a dozen reviews in common periodicals '' , but noted `` Upon my life I am sorry for Owen ... he will be so d -- d savage , for credit given to any other man , I strongly suspect , is in his eyes so much credit robbed from him . Science is so narrow a field , it is clear there ought to be only one cock of the walk ! '' . Hooker also wrote a favourable review , which appeared at the end of December in the Gardener 's Chronicle and treated the theory as an extension of horticultural lore . Clerical concern , atheist enthusiasm ( Edit ) In his lofty position at the head of Science , Owen received numerous complaints about the book . The Revd . Adam Sedgwick , geologist at the University of Cambridge who had taken Darwin on his first geology field trip , could not see the point in a world without providence . The missionary David Livingstone could see no struggle for existence on the African plains . Jeffries Wyman at Harvard saw no truth in chance variations . The most enthusiastic response came from atheists , with Hewett Watson hailing Darwin as the `` greatest revolutionist in natural history of this century '' . The 68 - year - old Robert Edmund Grant , who had shown him the study of invertebrates when Darwin was a student at the University of Edinburgh and who was still teaching Lamarckian evolution weekly at University College London , brought out a small book on classification dedicated to Darwin : `` With one fell - sweep of the wand of truth , you have now scattered to the winds the pestilential vapours accumulated by ' species - mongers ' . '' Widespread interest ( Edit ) In January 1860 , Darwin told Lyell of a reported incident at Waterloo Bridge Station : `` I never till to day realised that it was getting widely distributed ; for in a letter from a lady today to Emma , she says she heard a man enquiring for it at Railway Station ! ! ! at Waterloo Bridge ; & the Bookseller said that he had none till new Edit . was out. -- The Bookseller said he had not read it but had heard it was a very remarkable book ! ! ! '' Asa Gray in the united states ( Edit ) In December 1859 the botanist Asa Gray negotiated with a Boston publisher for publication of an authorised American version , however , he learnt that two New York publishing firms were already planning to exploit the absence of international copyright to print Origin . Darwin wrote in January , `` I never dreamed of my Book being so successful with general readers : I believe I should have laughed at the idea of sending the sheets to America . '' and asked Gray to keep any profits . Gray managed to negotiate a 5 per cent royalty with Appleton 's of New York , who got their edition out in mid January , and the other two withdrew . In a May letter Darwin mentioned a print run of 2,500 copies , but it is not clear if this was the first printing alone as there were four that year . When sending his Historical preface and corrections for the American edition in February , Darwin thanked Asa Gray for his comments , as `` a Review from a man , who is not an entire convert , if fair & moderately favourable , is in all respects the best kind of Review . About weak points I agree . The eye to this day gives me a cold shudder , but when I think of the fine known gradations , my reason tells me I ought to conquer the cold shudder . '' In April he continued , `` It is curious that I remember well time when the thought of the eye made me cold all over , but I have got over this stage of the complaint , & now small trifling particulars of structure often make me very uncomfortable . The sight of a feather in a peacock 's tail , whenever I gaze at it , makes me sick ! '' A month later Darwin emphasised that he was bewildered by the theological aspects and `` had no intention to write atheistically , but could not see , as plainly as others do , & as I sh wish to do , evidence of design & beneficence on all sides of us . There seems to me too much misery in the world . I can not persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidae with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars '' -- expressing his particular revulsion at the Ichneumonidae family of parasitic wasps that lay their eggs in the larvae and pupae of other insects so that their parasitoid young have a ready source of food . He therefore could not believe in the necessity of design , but rather than attributing the wonders of the universe to brute force was `` inclined to look at everything as resulting from designed laws , with the details , whether good or bad , left to the working out of what we may call chance . Not that this notion at all satisfies me . I feel most deeply that the whole subject is too profound for the human intellect . A dog might as well speculate on the mind of Newton '' -- referring to Isaac Newton . Erasmus and Martineau ( Edit ) Darwin 's brother Erasmus reported on 23 November that their cousin Henry Holland was reading the book and in `` a dreadful state of indecision '' , sure that explaining the eye would be `` utterly impossible '' , but after reading it `` he hummed & hawed & perhaps it was partly conceivable '' . Erasmus himself thought it `` the most interesting book I ever read '' , and sent a copy to his old flame Miss Harriet Martineau who , at 58 , was still reviewing from her home in the Lake District . Martineau sent her thanks , adding that she had previously praised `` the quality & conduct of your brother 's mind , but it is an unspeakable satisfaction to see here the full manifestation of its earnestness & simplicity , its sagacity , its industry , & the patient power by w . it has collected such a mass of facts , to transmute them by such sagacious treatment into such portentious knowledge . I sh . much like to know how large a proportion of our scientific men believe he has found a sound road . '' Writing to her fellow Malthusian ( and atheist ) George Holyoake she enthused , `` What a book it is ! -- overthrowing ( if true ) revealed Religion on the one hand , & Natural ( as far as Final Causes & Design are concerned ) on the other . The range & mass of knowledge take away one 's breath . '' To Fanny Wedgwood she wrote , `` I rather regret that C.D. went out of his way two or three times to speak of `` The Creator '' in the popular sense of the First Cause ... His subject is the ' Origin of Species ' & not the origin of Organisation ; & it seems a needless mischief to have opened the latter speculation at all -- There now ! I have delivered my mind . '' Clerical reaction ( Edit ) The Revd . Adam Sedgwick had received his copy `` with more pain than pleasure . '' Without Creation showing divine love , `` humanity , to my mind , would suffer a damage that might brutalise it , and sink the human race ... '' He indicated that unless Darwin accepted God 's revelation in nature and scripture , Sedgwick would not meet Darwin in heaven , a sentiment that upset Emma . The Revd . John Stevens Henslow , the botany professor whose natural history course Charles had joined thirty years earlier , gave faint praise to the Origin as `` a stumble in the right direction '' but distanced himself from its conclusions , `` a question past our finding out ... '' The Anglican establishment predominantly opposed Darwin . Palmerston , who became Prime Minister in June 1859 , mooted Darwin 's name to Queen Victoria as a candidate for the Honours List with the prospect of a knighthood . While Prince Albert supported the idea , after the publication of the Origin Queen Victoria 's ecclesiastical advisers , including the Bishop of Oxford Samuel Wilberforce , dissented and the request was denied . Some Anglicans were more in favour , and Huxley reported of Kingsley that `` He is an excellent Darwinian to begin with , and told me a capital story of his reply to Lady Aylesbury who expressed astonishment at his favouring such a heresy -- ' What can be more delightful to me Lady Aylesbury , than to know that your Ladyship & myself sprang from the same toad stool . ' Whereby the frivolous old woman shut up , in doubt whether she was being chaffed or adored for her remark . '' There was no official comment from the Vatican for several decades , but in 1860 a council of the German Catholic bishops pronounced that the belief that `` man as regards his body , emerged finally from the spontaneous continuous change of imperfect nature to the more perfect , is clearly opposed to Sacred Scripture and to the Faith . '' This defined the range of official Catholic discussion of evolution , which has remained almost exclusively concerned with human evolution . Huxley and Owen ( Edit ) The combative Thomas Huxley demanded a fair hearing for Darwin 's ideas . On 10 February 1860 Huxley gave a lecture titled On Species and Races , and their Origin at the Royal Institution , reviewing Darwin 's theory with fancy pigeons on hand to demonstrate artificial selection , as well as using the occasion to confront the clergy with his aim of wresting science from ecclesiastical control . He referred to Galileo 's persecution by the church , `` the little Canutes of the hour enthroned in solemn state , bidding that great wave to stay , and threatening to check its beneficent progress . '' He hailed the Origin as heralding a `` new Reformation '' in a battle against `` those who would silence and crush '' science , and called on the public to cherish Science and `` follow her methods faithfully and implicitly in their application to all branches of human thought , '' for the future of England . To Darwin such rhetoric was `` time wasted '' and on reflection he thought the lecture `` an entire failure which gave no just idea of natural selection , '' but by March he was listing those on `` our side '' as against the `` outsiders . '' His close allies were Hooker and Huxley , and in August he called Huxley his `` good and kind agent for the propagation of the Gospel -- i.e. the devil 's gospel . '' The position of Richard Owen was unknown : when emphasising to a Parliamentary committee the need for a new Natural History museum , he pointed out that `` The whole intellectual world this year has been excited by a book on the origin of species ; and what is the consequence ? Visitors come to the British Museum , and they say , ' Let us see all these varieties of pigeons : where is the tumbler , where is the pouter ? ' and I am obliged with shame to say , I can show you none of them ... '' As to showing you the varieties of those species , or of any of those phenomena that would aid one in getting at that mystery of mysteries , the origin of species , our space does not permit ; but surely there ought to be a space somewhere , and , if not in the British Museum , where is it to be obtained ? '' Thomas Henry Huxley applied Darwins ideas to humans . This showed humans and apes had a common ancestor . Huxley 's April review in the Westminster Review included the first mention of the term `` Darwinism '' in the question , `` What if the orbit of Darwinism should be a little too circular ? '' Darwin thought it a `` brilliant review . '' Overflowing the narrow bounds of purely scientific circles , the `` species question '' divides with Italy and the Volunteers the attention of general society . Everybody has read Mr. Darwin 's book , or , at least , has given an opinion upon its merits or demerits ; pietists , whether lay or ecclesiastic , decry it with the mild railing which sounds so charitable ; bigots denounce it with ignorant invective ; old ladies of both sexes consider it a decidedly dangerous book , and even savants , who have no better mud to throw , quote antiquated writers to show that its author is no better than an ape himself ; while every philosophical thinker hails it as a veritable Whitworth gun in the armoury of liberalism ; and all competent naturalists and physiologists , whatever their opinions as to the ultimate fate of the doctrines put forth , acknowledge that the work in which they are embodied is a solid contribution to knowledge and inaugurates a new epoch in natural history . -- Thomas Huxley , 1860 When Owen 's own anonymous review of the Origin appeared in the April Edinburgh Review he praised himself and his own axiom of the continuous operation of the ordained becoming of living things , and showed his anger at what he saw as Darwin 's caricature of the creationist position and ignoring Owen 's pre-eminence . To him , new species appeared at birth , not through natural selection . As well as attacking Darwin 's `` disciples '' Hooker and Huxley , he thought that the book symbolised the sort of `` abuse of science to which a neighbouring nation , some seventy years since , owed its temporary degradation . '' Darwin had Huxley and Hooker staying with him when he read it , and he wrote telling Lyell that it was `` extremely malignant , clever & I fear will be very damaging . He is atrociously severe on Huxley 's lecture , & very bitter against Hooker . So we three enjoyed it together : not that I really enjoyed it , for it made me uncomfortable for one night ; but I have got quite over it today . It requires much study to appreciate all the bitter spite of many of the remarks against me ; indeed I did not discover all myself. -- It scandalously misrepresents many parts ... It is painful to be hated in the intense degree with which Owen hates me . '' He commented to Henslow that `` Owen is indeed very spiteful . He misrepresents & alters what I say very unfairly ... The Londoners says he is mad with envy because my book has been talked about : what a strange man to be envious of a naturalist like myself , immeasurably his inferior ! '' Geological time and Phillips ( Edit ) Darwin 's had estimated that erosion of the Weald would take 300 million years , but in the second edition of On the Origin of Species published on 7 January 1860 he accepted that it would be safer to allow 150 million to 200 million years . Geologists knew the earth was ancient , but had felt unable to put realistic figures on the duration of past geological changes . Darwin 's book provided a new impetus to quantifying geological time . His most prominent critic , John Phillips , had investigated how temperatures increased with depth in the 1830s , and was convinced that , contrary to Lyell and Darwin 's uniformitarianism , the Earth was cooling over the long term . Between 1838 and 1855 he tried various ways of quantifying the timing of stratified deposits , without success . On 17 February 1860 , Phillips used his presidential address to the Geological Society of London to accuse Darwin of `` abuse of arithmetic '' . He said 300 million years was an `` inconceivable number '' and that , depending on assumptions , erosion of the Weald could have taken anything from 12,000 years to at most 1,332,000 years , well below Darwin 's estimate . When giving the May 1860 Rede Lecture , Phillips produced his own first published estimates of the duration of the whole stratigraphic record , using rates of sedimentation to calculate it at around 96 million years . Natural persecution ( Edit ) Most reviewers wrote with great respect , deferring to Darwin 's eminent position in science though finding it hard to understand how natural selection could work without a divine selector . There were hostile comments , at the start of May he commented to Lyell that he had `` received in a Manchester Newspaper a rather a good squib , showing that I have proved ' might is right ' , & therefore that Napoleon is right & every cheating Tradesman is also right '' . The Saturday Review reported that `` The controversy excited by the appearance of Darwin 's remarkable work on the Origin of Species has passed beyond the bounds of the study and lecture - room into the drawing - room and the public street . '' The older generation of Darwin 's tutors were rather negative , and later in May he told his cousin Fox that `` the attacks have been falling thick & heavy on my now case - hardened hide. -- Sedgwick & Clarke opened regular battery on me lately at Cambridge Phil . Soc . & dear old Henslow defended me in grand style , saying that my investigations were perfectly legitimate . '' While defending Darwin 's honest motives and belief that `` he was exalting & not debasing our views of a Creator , in attributing to him a power of imposing laws on the Organic World by which to do his work , as effectually as his laws imposed upon the inorganic had done it in the Mineral Kingdom '' , Henslow had not disguised his own opinion that `` Darwin has pressed his hypothesis too far '' . In June , Karl Marx saw the book as a `` bitter satire '' that showed `` a basis in natural science for class struggle in history '' , in which `` Darwin recognizes among beasts and plants his English society '' . Darwin remarked to Lyell , `` I must be a very bad explainer ... Several Reviews , & several letters have shown me too clearly how little I am understood . I suppose natural selection was bad term ; but to change it now , I think , would make confusion worse confounded . Nor can I think of better ; Natural preservation would not imply a preservation of particular varieties & would seem a truism ; & would not bring man 's & nature 's selection under one point of view . I can only hope by reiterated explanations finally to make matter clearer . '' It was too illegible for Lyell , and Darwin later apologised `` I am utterly ashamed & groan over my hand - writing . It was Natural Preservation . Natural persecution is what the author ought to suffer . '' Debate ( Edit ) Essays and Reviews ( Edit ) Around February 1860 liberal theologians entered the fray , when seven produced a manifesto titled Essays and Reviews . These Anglicans included Oxford professors , country clergymen , the headmaster of Rugby school and a layman . Their declaration that miracles were irrational stirred up unprecedented anger , drawing much of the fire away from Darwin . Essays sold 22,000 copies in two years , more than the Origin sold in twenty years , and sparked five years of increasingly polarised debate with books and pamphlets furiously contesting the issues . The most scientific of the seven was the Reverend Baden Powell , who held the Savilian chair of geometry at the University of Oxford . Referring to `` Mr Darwin 's masterly volume '' and restating his argument that God is a lawgiver , miracles break the lawful edicts issued at Creation , therefore belief in miracles is atheistic , he wrote that the book `` must soon bring about an entire revolution in opinion in favour of the grand principle of the self - evolving powers of nature . '' He drew attacks , with Sedgwick accusing him of `` greedily '' adopting nonsense and Tory reviews saying he was joining `` the infidel party '' . He would have been on the platform at the British Association debate , facing the bishop , but died of a heart attack on 11 June . The British Association debate ( Edit ) Main article : 1860 Oxford evolution debate The most famous confrontation took place at a meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in Oxford on Saturday 30 June 1860 . While there was no formal debate organised on the issue , Professor John William Draper of New York University was to talk on Darwin and social progress at a routine `` Botany and Zoology '' meeting . The new museum hall was crowded with clergy , undergraduates , Oxford dons and gentlewomen anticipating that Samuel Wilberforce , the Bishop of Oxford , would speak to repeat the savage trouncing he had given in 1847 to the Vestiges published anonymously by Robert Chambers . Owen lodged with Wilberforce the night before , but Wilberforce would have been well prepared as he had just reviewed the Origin for the Tory Quarterly for a fee of £ 60 . Huxley was not going to wait for the meeting , but met Chambers who accused him of `` deserting them '' and changed his mind . Darwin was taking treatment at Dr. Lane 's new hydropathic establishment at Sudbrooke Park , Petersham , near Richmond in Surrey . The debate was held in the Oxford University Museum of Natural History From Hooker 's account , Draper `` droned on for an hour '' , then for half an hour `` Soapy Sam '' Wilberforce replied with the eloquence that had earned him his nickname . This time the climate of opinion had changed and the ensuing debate was more evenly matched , with Hooker being particularly successful in defence of Darwin 's ideas . In response to what Huxley took as a jibe from Wilberforce as to whether it was on Huxley 's grandfather 's or grandmother 's side that he was descended from an ape , Huxley made a reply which he later recalled as being that `` ( if asked ) would I rather have a miserable ape for a grandfather or a man highly endowed by nature and possessed of great means and influence and yet who employs these faculties and that influence for the mere purpose of introducing ridicule into a grave scientific discussion I unhesitatingly affirm my preference for the ape '' . No verbatim record was taken : eyewitness accounts exist , and vary somewhat . Robert FitzRoy , who had been the captain of HMS Beagle during Darwin 's voyage , was there to present a paper on storms . During the debate FitzRoy , seen by Hooker as `` a grey haired Roman nosed elderly gentleman '' , stood in the centre of the audience and `` lifting an immense Bible first with both and afterwards with one hand over his head , solemnly implored the audience to believe God rather than man '' . As he admitted that the Origin of Species had given him `` acutest pain '' the crowd shouted him down . Hooker 's `` blood boiled , I felt myself a dastard ; now I saw my advantage -- I swore to myself I would smite that Amalekite Sam hip and thigh '' , ( he was invited up to the platform and ) `` there and then I smacked him amid rounds of applause ... proceeded to demonstrate ... that he could never have read your book ... wound up with a very few observations on the ... old and new hypotheses ... Sam was shut up ... and the meeting was dissolved forthwith leaving you ( Darwin ) master of the field after 4 hours battle . '' Both sides came away claiming victory , with Hooker and Huxley each sending Darwin rather contradictory triumphant accounts . Supporters of Darwinism seized on this meeting as a sign that the idea of evolution could not be suppressed by authority , and would be defended vigorously by its advocates . Liberal clerics were also satisfied that literal belief in all aspects of the Bible was now questioned by science ; they were sympathetic to some of the ideas in Essays and Reviews . William Whewell wrote to his friend James David Forbes that `` Perhaps the Bishop was not prudent to venture into a field where no eloquence can supersede the need for precise knowledge . The young naturalists declared themselves in favour of Darwin 's views which tendency I saw already at Leeds two years ago . I am sorry for it , for I reckon Darwin 's book to be an utterly unphilosophical one . '' 1869 Caricature of Wilberforce . His hand washing gesture helped earn the Bishop of Oxford his nickname Wilberforce 's Quarterly Review ( Edit ) In late July Darwin read Wilberforce 's review in the Quarterly . It used a 60 - year - old parody from the Anti-Jacobin of the prose of Darwin 's grandfather Erasmus , implying old revolutionary sympathies . It argued that if `` transmutations were actually occurring '' this would be seen in rapidly reproducing invertebrates , and since it is n't , why think that `` the favourite varieties of turnips are tending to become men '' . Darwin pencilled `` rubbish '' in the margin . To the statement about classification that `` all creation is the transcript in matter of ideas eternally existing in the mind of the Most High ! ! '' , Darwin scribbled `` mere words '' . At the same time , Darwin was willing to grant that Wilberforce 's review was clever : he wrote to Hooker that `` it picks out with skill all the most conjectural parts , and brings forward well all the difficulties . It quizzes me quite splendidly by quoting the ' Anti-Jacobin ' against my Grandfather . '' Wilberforce also attacked Essays and Reviews in the Quarterly Review , and in a letter to The Times , signed by the Archbishop of Canterbury and 25 bishops , which threatened the theologians with the ecclesiastical courts . Darwin quoted a proverb : `` A bench of bishops is the devil 's flower garden '' , and joined others including Lyell , though not Hooker and Huxley , in signing a counter-letter supporting Essays and Reviews for trying to `` establish religious teachings on a firmer and broader foundation '' . Despite this alignment of pro-evolution scientists and Unitarians with liberal churchmen , two of the authors were indicted for heresy and lost their jobs by 1862 . Geological time , Phillips and third edition ( Edit ) In October 1860 , John Phillips published Life on the Earth , its origin and succession , reiterating points from his Rede Lecture and disputing Darwin 's arguments . He sent a copy to Darwin , who thanked him , though `` sorry , but not surprised , to see that you are dead against me '' . On 20 November , Darwin told Lyell of his revisions for a third edition of the Origin , including removing his estimate of the time it took for the Weald to erode : `` The confounded Wealden calculation , to be struck out . & a note to be inserted to effect that I am convinced of its inaccuracy from Review in Saturday R. & from Phillips , as I see in Table of Contents that he attacks it . '' He later told Lyell that `` Having burnt my own fingers so consumedly with the Wealden , I am fearful for you '' , and advised caution : `` for Heaven - sake take care of your fingers ; to burn them severely , as I have done , is very unpleasant . '' The third edition , as published on 30 April 1861 , stated `` The computation of time required for the denudation of the Weald omitted . I have been convinced of its inaccuracy in several respects by an excellent article in the ' Saturday Review , ' Dec. 24 , 1859 . '' Natural history Review ( Edit ) The Natural History Review was bought and refurbished by Huxley , Lubbock , Busk and other `` plastically minded young men '' -- supporters of Darwin . The first issue in January 1861 carried Huxley 's paper on man 's relationship to apes , `` showing up '' Owen . Huxley cheekily sent a copy to Wilberforce . Darwin at home ( Edit ) As the battles raged , Darwin returned home from the spa to proceed with experiments on chloroforming carnivorous sundew plants , looking over his Natural Selection manuscript and drafting two chapters on pigeon breeding that would eventually form part of The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication . He wrote to Asa Gray and used the example of fantail pigeons to argue against Gray 's belief `` that variation has been led along certain beneficial lines '' , with the implication of Creationism rather than Natural Selection . Over the winter he organised a third edition of the Origin , adding an introductory historical sketch . Asa Gray had published three supportive articles in the Atlantic Monthly . Darwin persuaded Gray to publish them as a pamphlet , and was delighted when Gray came up with the title of Natural Selection Not Inconsistent with Natural Theology . Darwin paid half the cost , imported 250 copies into Britain and as well as advertising it in periodicals and sending 100 copies out to scientists , reviewers , and theologians ( including Wilberforce ) , he included in the Origin a recommendation for it , available to be purchased for 1s . 6d. from Trübner 's in Paternoster Row . The Huxleys became close family friends , frequently visiting Down House . When their 3 - year - old son died of scarlet fever they were badly affected . Henrietta Huxley brought their three infants to Down in March 1861 where Emma helped to console her , while Huxley continued with his working - men 's lectures at the Royal School of Mines , writing that `` My working men stick with me wonderfully , the house fuller than ever , By next Friday evening they will all be convinced that they are monkeys . '' Arguments with Owen ( Edit ) Huxley 's arguments with Owen continued in the Athenaeum so that each Saturday Darwin could read the latest ripostes . Owen tried to smear Huxley by portraying him as an `` advocate of man 's origins from a transmuted ape '' , and one of his contributions was titled `` Ape - Origin of Man as Tested by the Brain '' . This backfired , as Huxley had already delighted Darwin by speculating on `` pithecoid man '' -- ape - like man , and was glad of the invitation to publicly turn the anatomy of brain structure into a question of human ancestry . He was determined to indict Owen for perjury , promising `` before I have done with that mendacious humbug I will nail him out , like a kite to a barn door , an example to all evil doers . '' Darwin egged him on from Down , writing `` Oh Lord what a thorn you must be in the poor dear man 's side '' . Their campaign ran over two years and was devastatingly successful , with each `` slaying '' being followed by a recruiting drive for the Darwinian cause . The spite lingered . When Huxley joined the Zoological Society Council in 1861 , Owen left , and in the following year Huxley moved to stop Owen from being elected to the Royal Society Council as `` no body of gentlemen '' should admit a member `` guilty of wilful & deliberate falsehood . '' Lyell was troubled both by Huxley 's belligerence and by the question of ape ancestry , but got little sympathy from Darwin who teased him that `` Our ancestor was an animal which breathed water , had a swim bladder , a great swimming tail , an imperfect skull , and undoubtedly was a hermaphrodite ! Here is a pleasant genealogy for mankind . '' Lyell began work on a book examining human origins . Geological time : William Thomson ( Lord Kelvin ) ( Edit ) Like the geologist John Phillips , the physicist William Thomson ( later ennobled as Lord Kelvin ) had considered since the 1840s that the physics of thermodynamics required that the Earth was cooling from an initial molten state . This contradicted Lyell 's uniformitarian concept of unchanging processes over deep geological time , which Darwin shared and had assumed would allow ample time for the slow process of natural selection . In June 1861 Thomson asked Phillips how geologists felt about Darwin 's `` prodigious durations for geological epochs '' . and mentioned his own preliminary calculation that the Sun was 20 million years old , with the Earth at most 200 to 1,000 million years old . Phillips discussed his own published view that stratified rocks went back 96 million years , and dismissed Darwin 's original estimate that the Weald had taken 300 million years to erode . In September 1861 Thomson produced a paper `` On the age of the Sun 's heat '' which estimated that the Sun was between 100 and 500 million years old , and in 1862 he used assumptions on the rate of cooling from a molten condition to estimate the age of the Earth at 98 million years . The dispute continued for the rest of Darwin 's life . Continued debate ( Edit ) A French caricature around 1878 shows a bearded Darwin breaking through hoops of `` gullibility , superstitions , errors , and ignorance '' held up by Émile Littré . The reception of Darwin 's ideas continued to arouse scientific and religious debates , and wide public interest . Satirical cartoonists seized on animal ancestry in relation to other topical issues , drawing on a long tradition of identifying animal traits in humans . In Britain mass circulation magazines were droll rather than cruel , and thus presented Darwin 's theory in an unthreatening way . Due to illness , Darwin began growing a beard in 1862 , and when he reappeared in public in 1866 with a bushy beard , caricatures centred on Darwin and his new look contributed to a trend in which all forms of evolutionism were identified with Darwinism .

It was recorded after Barrett had left Pink Floyd in April 1968 . The album had a chequered recording history , with work beginning in mid-1968 , but the bulk of the sessions taking place between April and July 1969 , for which five different producers were credited − including Barrett , Peter Jenner ( 1968 sessions ) , Malcolm Jones ( early - to - mid-1969 sessions ) , and fellow Pink Floyd members David Gilmour and Roger Waters ( mid-1969 sessions ) . Among the guest musicians are Willie Wilson from Gilmour 's old band Jokers Wild and Robert Wyatt of the band Soft Machine . The Madcap Laughs , released in January 1970 on Harvest in the UK , and on Capitol Records in the US , enjoyed minimal commercial success on release , reaching number 40 on the UK 's official albums chart , while failing to hit the US charts . It was re-released in 1974 as part of Syd Barrett ( which contained The Madcap Laughs and Barrett ) . The album was remastered and reissued in 1993 , along with Barrett 's other albums , Barrett ( 1970 ) and Opel ( 1988 ) , independently and as part of the Crazy Diamond box set . A newly remastered version was released in 2010 .

Many report having seen him on stage with the group during this period , strumming on one chord through an entire concert or not playing at all . In August 1967 , Pink Floyd were forced to cancel their appearance at the prestigious National Jazz and Blues Festival , informing the music press that Barrett was suffering from nervous exhaustion . Band manager Peter Jenner and bassist Roger Waters arranged for Barrett to see a psychiatrist ( an appointment he failed to attend ) , while a stay on the Spanish island of Formentera with Sam Hutt , a doctor well established in the underground music scene , led to no visible improvement in Barrett 's behaviour . A few dates in September were followed by the band 's first tour of the United States . At this point , Barrett 's condition grew steadily worse . At a show at The Fillmore in San Francisco , during a performance of `` Interstellar Overdrive '' , Barrett slowly detuned his guitar ; the audience seemed to enjoy such antics , unaware of the rest of the band 's consternation . Sometime in October , Jenner transferred tapes of `` In the Beechwoods '' , two takes of `` Vegetable Man '' , and a 5 - minute backing track called `` No Title '' , which Jenner hoped Barrett would finish eventually . Around Christmas 1967 , guitarist David Gilmour , an old friend of Barrett 's from Cambridge , was asked by the other members of Pink Floyd to join as a second guitarist , initially not to replace Barrett , but cover for him , because his unpredictable behaviour prevented him from performing . For several shows Gilmour sang and played guitar while Barrett wandered around on stage , every now and then deciding to join in playing guitar and singing . Waters and fellow band members keyboardist Richard Wright and drummer Nick Mason soon grew weary of Barrett 's on - stage antics and , on 26 January 1968 , when Waters was driving his bandmates from London to a show at Southampton University , they all agreed to go without Barrett : according to Gilmour 's recollection , one person asked , `` Shall we pick Syd up ? '' and another said , `` Let 's not bother . '' Since Barrett had written or co-written 10 of the 11 songs on their debut album , The Piper at the Gates of Dawn , as well as the band 's three singles up to this point , the original plan was to keep him in the group as a non-touring member − in a similar arrangement to what The Beach Boys had done with Brian Wilson − but this soon proved to be unworkable . At his last rehearsal with the band , he presented a new song entitled `` Have You Got It Yet ? '' , which proved to be deliberately unplayable as the others attempted to join in , until they realised the joke of the title . On 6 April , the group officially announced that Barrett was no longer a member of Pink Floyd . Upon leaving the band , Barrett said to Melody Maker : `` I suppose it was really just a matter of being a little offhand about things '' . Recording ( edit ) Peter Jenner sessions ( edit ) After Barrett left Pink Floyd in April 1968 , Peter Jenner and Andrew King , from the band 's management , followed suit . In May , Jenner led Barrett into the then - named EMI Studios , on Abbey Road in northwest London , to record some solo material , only part of which would later appear on The Madcap Laughs . Jenner thought Barrett would like to finish the tracks that Jenner transferred the previous October , Barrett on the other hand , had other plans . During these first , tentative sessions , Jenner failed to properly record any vocals at all , for the tracks `` Golden Hair '' , `` Late Night '' , `` Clowns and Jugglers '' ( later retitled `` Octopus '' ) , `` Silas Lang '' , or `` Lanky ( Parts One and Two ) '' . After recording had resumed in June and July , progress continued on these tracks , especially `` Swan Lee '' , and a new , improved version of `` Clowns and Jugglers '' was taped at this point also . Barrett would n't commit to recording the track `` Rhamadam '' ( sic ) to tape properly , however . Although Jenner claims he got on well with the singer , he would also state that the 1968 sessions had not gone smoothly , admitting : `` I had seriously underestimated the difficulties of working with him ... '' Shortly after the July dates , Barrett abruptly stopped recording , breaking up with girlfriend Lindsay Corner and then going off on a drive around Britain in his Mini ; he ended up in psychiatric care in Cambridge . By the start of 1969 , a somewhat recovered Barrett decided to return to his musical career and revisit the Jenner - produced recordings . He contacted EMI , and was passed on to Malcolm Jones , then - head of EMI 's new prog rock label , Harvest . After both Jenner and Norman Smith , Pink Floyd 's producer at the time , declined to work on the album , Jones agreed to take on the role . Recording took place at Abbey Road Studios Malcolm Jones sessions ( edit ) Jones had little difficulty in persuading his boss , Roy Featherstone , and Ron White , authoriser of EMI recordings , to allow Barrett to record with the company again . In April 1969 , the young executive took over the project and Barrett began working on newer material , while reworking the 1968 recordings . Jones would later explain the rationale behind EMI letting Barrett record again : `` What was decided was to see what was the strength of Syd 's new material , and plan accordingly . If it worked , then , O.K. we 'd do an album . If not , we 'd call it a day ... '' In a meeting at Barrett 's flat in Earls Court , unsure of Jenner 's production technique , Jones asked to hear some of the previous year 's tapes ; Barrett played him `` Swan Lee '' , `` Late Night '' , `` Rhamadam '' , `` Lanky ( Parts One and Two ) '' and `` Golden Hair '' . Of these , `` Swan Lee '' had no vocals , but Jones saw potential in the song ; `` Late Night '' did have vocals and , Jones remarked , `` a certain charm '' ; while `` Golden Hair '' was `` great '' . After the playbacks , Barrett performed several songs on guitar for Jones : `` Opel '' and `` Clowns and Jugglers '' ( both attempted during the sessions with Peter Jenner ) , and the newly written `` Terrapin '' and `` Love You '' . The Jones - produced sessions commenced on 10 April 1969 at EMI 's Studio 3 , with that day being dedicated to going through the 1968 tapes again to see what could be improved upon . The first track to be worked on was `` Swan Lee '' , which received vocal overdubs and a new guitar track , and several ideas for `` Clowns and Jugglers '' were considered ; Barrett and Jones both felt that the results were superior to the previous versions . The following day , in about five hours , Barrett recorded vocal and guitar tracks for four recently recorded songs , starting with `` Opel '' , and two old ones . Barrett and his new producer were in agreement that `` Opel '' was among the best of the new recordings at this time ; only two complete takes of the song were taped , though , after multiple false starts . The next song attempted was `` Love You '' , the first take of which featured a faster tempo than the officially released take 2 . After `` Love You '' , they recorded `` It 's No Good Trying '' , which was similarly completed in just a few takes . Barrett was in `` great form , and very happy '' , Jones recalled , and `` very together '' . During the lunch break that day , they talked about improving some of the other songs from the Jenner sessions , particularly `` Golden Hair '' and `` Late Night '' , the last of which was just a backing track at this point . After returning to the studio , they worked on `` Terrapin '' , with Barrett requiring just a single take , and added slide guitar and vocals to `` Late Night '' . Barrett used a Fender Telecaster , similar to this one , for recording rhythm guitar on the album The following session took place on 17 April , in Studio 2 at Abbey Road . Jones arrived there to find that Barrett had brought in friends of his as support musicians : Jerry Shirley , drummer with Humble Pie , and Willie Wilson , Jokers Wild 's drummer , although for this occasion he was playing bass . The problem with this new set - up , though , was that the songs were recorded as Barrett played them live in the studio ; on the released versions , a number of them have false starts and commentaries from Barrett . The first track Barrett and his fellow musicians worked on was `` No Man 's Land '' , after Barrett had played through the song several times , to allow Shirley and Wilson to pick up the segments . Once the rehearsal was through , they went for a take , to check how the band sounded and to test the equipment from within the control room . After these tests , the band recorded three takes , the last of which became the master take for `` No Man 's Land '' ; the bass , however , was re-recorded at a later date . Playing along with Barrett was n't easy , according to Jones : `` It was a case of following him , not playing with him . They were seeing and then playing so they were always a note behind ... '' Shirley said of Barrett : `` He gave the impression he knew something you did n't . He had this music sort of giggle ... '' Next , they recorded a song that Barrett had written in a few minutes , `` Here I Go '' , which required no overdubs at all . This session for `` No Man 's Land '' and `` Here I Go '' lasted just three hours . When asked if he had any new songs for the following week 's session , on 23 April , Barrett 's replied that he had `` a weird idea I want to try out '' and that other musicians would not be required . Afterwards , Barrett mentioned that he was interested in revisiting one of the Jenner tracks − `` Rhamadam '' . On the morning of the 23rd , Barrett arrived at the studio with a cassette player , on which he had recorded motorbike sounds ; these , he told Jones , were `` all ready to ( be ) put onto the ' Rhamadam ' four track '' . The producer described the sound quality as `` terrible '' , an opinion that was confirmed once Barrett 's player had been hooked up to a 4 - track machine . Instead it was decided that Barrett should source the motorbike sounds from EMI 's large sound effects library . The selection process took up to an hour , at which point Jones started to lose faith in Barrett . Later on , Barrett changed his mind and abandoned the idea . The session on 25 April was almost cancelled , due to Jones becoming ill from colitis . Beforehand , it had been agreed that this session would be dedicated to transferring their previously recorded , 4 - track recordings onto Studio 3 's newer 8 - track machine , for further overdubs in later sessions . At Jones ' suggestion , and despite warnings the producer had received that Barrett should not be in the studio unaccompanied . Barrett went in on his own to carry out the mixing . It had been decided that nearly all of the tracks that were recorded up to that point needed further overdubbing except for `` No Man 's Land '' and `` Here I Go '' . At this point , Barrett considered placing `` Opel '' on the album , Jones calls it among Barrett 's `` best and most haunting '' songs . On the session for 3 May , three tracks on the album were overdubbed by Robert Wyatt , Hugh Hopper and Mike Ratledge , all members of the band Soft Machine : The three songs were `` Love You '' , ( now dropping `` It 's '' ) `` No Good Trying '' , and `` Clowns and Jugglers '' . Even after the Soft Machine members added overdubs to `` Clowns and Jugglers '' , Barrett wished to add bass and drums to it . Robert Wyatt had said that the musicians would ask `` What key is that in , Syd ? '' , to which Barrett would simply reply `` Yeah '' or `` That 's funny '' . During this time , Barrett also played guitar on the sessions for Soft Machine founder Kevin Ayers ' debut LP , Joy of a Toy , although his performance on `` Religious Experience '' was not released until the album was reissued in 2003 . The next day 's session had Barrett adding backwards guitar to `` No Good Trying '' , and lead to `` Terrapin '' and `` No Man 's Land '' . It was around this time that Jones ' involvement came to an end -- during these last few sessions , Gilmour had started taking an interest in how Barrett was getting along with his album . Although Barrett had told his flatmate that he was going off `` for an afternoon drive '' , he instead followed Pink Floyd out to Ibiza . During the trip , he asked David Gilmour for his help on the album , and , at the end of May , Malcolm Jones abandoned his production responsibilities . David Gilmour and Roger Waters sessions ( edit ) In his book The Making of the Madcap Laughs , Jones states that `` when Dave came to me and said that Syd wanted him and Roger to do the remaining parts of the album , I acquiesced '' . Roger Waters and David Gilmour were in the process of completing Pink Floyd 's Ummagumma album when they got involved with The Madcap Laughs that July and helped Barrett finish his album − `` in a two - day sprint '' , according to Pink Floyd biographer Rick Sanders . `` We had very little time , '' Gilmour recalled in a May 2003 interview . `` Syd was very difficult , we got that very frustrated feeling : Look , it 's your fucking career , mate . Why do n't you get your finger out and do something ? The guy was in trouble , and was a close friend for many years before then , so it really was the least one could do . '' After the first session with new producers Gilmour and Waters , on 12 June , they had remade `` Clowns and Jugglers '' into `` Octopus '' , from the Soft Machine 's overdubbed version ; then , they re-recorded `` Golden Hair '' , and recorded `` Long Gone '' and `` Dark Globe '' . As the following day 's session was dedicated to overdubbing `` Octopus '' , this became Barrett 's final session for over a month , due to a temporary halt while Gilmour and Waters mixed Ummagumma , to Barrett 's dismay , and a Floyd tour in the Netherlands . However , towards the end of July , on the 26th , they managed to record `` She Took a Long Cold Look at Me '' , `` Feel '' , `` If It 's in You '' , another version of `` Long Gone '' , an attempt at a re-make of `` Dark Globe '' , and even a medley of `` She Took '' / `` Feel '' / `` If It 's in You '' . Barrett would not allow the musicians to rehearse or to re-record their overdubs , insisting that they sounded fine . After several months of intermittent recording , the album was finally deemed complete . After the final recording sessions for the album had been completed , Gilmour and Waters mixed not just the tracks they had produced , but also the Jones tracks , in a matter of two days . Five tracks were mixed on 5 August : `` Long Gone '' , `` She Took '' , `` Feel '' , `` If It 's in You '' , and `` Octopus '' . The following day , three tracks , `` Golden Hair '' , `` Dark Globe '' , and `` Terrapin '' , were mixed in just three hours . The track order was sequenced by Barrett and Gilmour on 6 October . Release , reception , and aftermath ( edit ) Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic Rolling Stone `` Octopus '' was released as a single in November 1969 and The Madcap Laughs followed on 3 January 1970 . The album was released by Harvest in the UK , while in the US it was issued by Capitol Records . It sold 6,000 copies in the first few months and reached number 40 in the UK and was fairly well - reviewed by music critics . Upon release , Gilmour said : `` Perhaps we were trying to show what Syd was really like . But perhaps we were trying to punish him ... '' Barrett stated that `` It 's quite nice but I 'd be very surprised if it did anything . If I were to drop dead , I do n't think it would stand a stand as my last statement . '' Waters was more optimistic , declaring Barrett a `` genius '' . Initial sales and reaction were deemed sufficient by EMI to sanction a second solo album . Malcolm Jones was shocked by what he perceived as the substandard musicianship on the Gilmour and Waters - produced songs , however : `` I felt angry . It 's like dirty linen in public and very unnecessary and unkind ... '' Barrett later said of the album : `` I liked what came out , only it was released far too long after it was done . I wanted it to be a whole thing that people would listen to all the way through with everything related and balanced , the tempos and moods offsetting each other , and I hope that 's what it sounds like . '' In a bid to increase sales , Jones wrote a letter to music magazine , Melody Maker , under an alternate name , writing how great the album was . On 6 June 1970 , Barrett gave his one and only solo performance , the performance was held at the Kensington Olympia , backed by Gilmour and Shirley , and baffled the audience ( including Gilmour and Shirley ) when he abruptly took off his guitar after the fourth number and walked off stage . They played `` Terrapin '' , `` Gigolo Aunt '' , `` Effervescing Elephant '' , and `` Octopus '' . From the start of the performance up to ( but not including ) `` Octopus '' , the vocals were inaudible . The performance has been bootlegged . The cover for the album was taken in Barrett 's flat in Wetherby Mansions near Earl 's Court in London Cover artwork ( edit ) For the album cover , Barrett painted the floor of his bedroom in Wetherby Mansions orange and purple . The nude woman appearing on the back of the record sleeve was an acquaintance of his known as `` Iggy the Eskimo '' . Photographer Mick Rock says , `` When I arrived for ' The Madcap Laughs ' photo session , Syd was still in his underpants ... His lady friend of two weeks , ' Iggy the Eskimo ' , was naked in the kitchen ... '' Iggy met Barrett in March 1969 , through Barrett 's then - girlfriend , Jenny Spires . Barrett had moved into Wetherby Mansions , and Jenny took Iggy there one evening . Iggy stayed on at the flat when Jenny left for The States a couple of weeks later . Iggy did n't know who Barrett was or that he was previously in Pink Floyd . Iggy heard Barrett play several songs that would later appear on the album , one being `` Terrapin '' , which she called `` quite catchy '' . In October 2010 she was interviewed , revealing that her name was Evelyn . The album was designed by Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell of Hipgnosis . The original sleeve featured no musician credits , barring producer credit ; later issues contain musician credits . On the original release , track 10 is listed as `` She Took a Long Cold Look '' , although on the 2010 remaster the track is re-titled to `` She Took a Long Cool Look '' , in similar vein to An Introduction to Syd Barrett . Reissues ( edit ) As part of Harvest Records 's `` Harvest Heritage '' series of reissues − and to capitalise on the breakthrough commercial success of Pink Floyd 's The Dark Side of the Moon − The Madcap Laughs was re-released in September 1974 as record one of a double album , record two being Barrett 's second and last solo album , Barrett . ( The cover of the double album was also designed by Storm Thorgerson . ) In 1993 , The Madcap Laughs ( along with Barrett and Opel ) was reissued both independently and as part of the Crazy Diamond Barrett box set , on 26 April 1993 . A remastered version was released in 2010 . For release on An Introduction to Syd Barrett in 2010 , Gilmour laid down a new bass track to `` Here I Go '' , and remixed `` Octopus '' & `` She Took a Long Cold Look '' .

Jump up ^ The first take , a false start , and the second take of `` Octopus '' was released on the 1993 Crazy Diamond reissue of The Madcap Laughs . An early version of `` Clowns and Jugglers '' , involving military - style drumming and organ overdubs was included on the standard version of Opel , while a stripped - down version is included on the Crazy Diamond reissue of Opel . Jump up ^ Titled `` Silas Lang '' on the recording sheet , later retitled to `` Swan Lee '' . Jump up ^ Despite the `` Opel '' being almost complete and better produced , Gilmour and Waters decided to leave the track off Madcap . Jump up ^ The version of `` Clowns and Jugglers '' that was overdubbed , was the first version that Jones and Barrett had worked on during their first session together . Jump up ^ Gilmour and Waters may have heard the Soft Machine version of `` Clowns and Jugglers '' , which may have been the reason to why they later re-made it . Jump up ^ 11 takes were recorded for both new versions of `` Octopus '' and `` Golden Hair '' . Jump up ^ Not finishing it in this session , it was attempted and finished at a later date . Jump up ^ After only recording two takes of `` Dark Globe '' , it was deemed finished , however , by the end of the session they recorded a third take . Although the version recorded earlier in the session was issued instead . Jump up ^ Jones ' reaction to this version was that of disappointment . Jump up ^ This later version of `` Long Gone '' became the album master . Jump up ^ For this session , `` Dark Globe '' was titled `` Would n't You Miss Me '' on the recording sheet . Jump up ^ The Gilmour -- Waters - produced tracks were mixed first by Gilmour and Waters , while the Jones - produced tracks for mixed by Gilmour alone on 16 September . Jump up ^ According to Jones , Barrett was `` pissed off '' , with the delay , as was Jones himself . Jump up ^ UK EMI Harvest HAR 5009 Jump up ^ At Jones ' choice , it was backed by the Gilmour -- Waters - produced version of `` Golden Hair '' as the b - side . Jump up ^ UK EMI Harvest SHVL 765 Jump up ^ Back in the 60s and 70s , labels were being resistant to letting their stars appear on other rival label releases . In the case of Madcap , Jones thought this gained it `` an air of mystery '' .

In popular culture , the practice is most typical of foreigners ' stereotypical image of Greece , and while it occurs more rarely today , it continues to be seen on certain occasions , such as weddings , although plaster plates are more likely to be used . Contents ( hide ) 1 History in Greece 1.1 Ancient and medieval 1.2 Modern times 2 In popular culture 3 See also 4 External links History in Greece ( edit ) Ancient and medieval ( edit ) The custom probably derives from an ancient practice of ritually `` killing '' plates on mourning occasions , as a means of dealing with loss . Breaking plates may also be related to the ancient practise of conspicuous consumption , a display of one 's wealth , as plates or glasses are thrown into a fireplace following a banquet instead of being washed and reused . Modern times ( edit ) In 1969 , the military dictatorship of Georgios Papadopoulos , that had suspended democracy and ruled Greece autocratically from 1967 to 1974 , banned plate smashing . Nowadays specially - produced plaster plates are used . Another modern variation on the custom is for diners at small Greek restaurants or tavernas to buy trays of flowers that they can throw at singers and each other . In popular culture ( edit ) In the Three 's Company episode `` Opening Night , '' ( November 16 , 1982 ) Larry Dallas invites his family , visiting from Greece , to Jacks Bistro . The large family gathering ends with the Greek celebratory custom of the breaking of plates . Reluctant at first because of all the money it will cost to replace the plates , Jack joins in the celebration when Larry says they will cover the bill for each plate . Jack then looks at Janet who shows him the final cost of all the plates that were broken . Jack , while clenching the remaining two plates he owns , throws them up in the air and says `` Opa ! '' and lets them break as well .

In the Full House episode , `` Greek Week '' , there is a scene at a Greek family party where Rebecca Donaldson smashes a one plate . Then Joey Gladstone leads the crowds in plate smashing while Danny Tanner frantically tries to clean up the broken plates off the floor .

Along with the Mahabharata , it forms the Sanskrit Itihasa . The epic , traditionally ascribed to the Hindu sage Valmiki , narrates the life of Rama , the legendary prince of the Kosala Kingdom . It follows his banishment from the kingdom by his father King Dasharatha , his travels across forests in India with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana , the kidnapping of his wife by Ravana , the demon king of Lanka , resulting in a war with him , and Rama 's eventual return to Ayodhya to be crowned king . The Ramayana is one of the largest ancient epics in world literature . It consists of nearly 24,000 verses ( mostly set in the Shloka meter ) , divided into seven Kandas ( books ) and about 500 sargas ( chapters ) . In Hindu tradition , it is considered to be the adi - kavya ( first poem ) . It depicts the duties of relationships , portraying ideal characters like the ideal father , the ideal servant , the ideal brother , the ideal wife and the ideal king . Ramayana was an important influence on later Sanskrit poetry and Hindu life and culture . Like Mahabharata , Ramayana is not just a story : it presents the teachings of ancient Hindu sages in narrative allegory , interspersing philosophical and ethical elements . The characters Rama , Sita , Lakshmana , Bharata , Hanuman , Shatrughna , and Ravana are all fundamental to the cultural consciousness of India , Nepal , Sri Lanka and south - east Asian countries such as Thailand , Cambodia , Malaysia and Indonesia . There are many versions of Ramayana in Indian languages , besides Buddhist , Sikh and Jain adaptations . There are also Cambodian , Indonesian , Filipino , Thai , Lao , Burmese and Malaysian versions of the tale .

Textual History and structure ( edit ) An artist 's impression of Valmiki Muni composing the Ramayana According to Hindu tradition -- and according to the Ramayana itself -- the epic belongs to the genre of itihasa like Mahabharata . The definition of itihāsa is a narrative of past events ( purāvṛtta ) which includes teachings on the goals of human life . According to Hindu tradition , Ramayana takes place during a period of time known as Treta Yuga . In its extant form , Valmiki 's Ramayana is an epic poem of some 24,000 verses . The text survives in several thousand partial and complete manuscripts , the oldest of which is a palm - leaf manuscript found in Nepal and dated to the 11th century CE . A Times of India report dated 18 December 2015 informs about the discovery of a 6th - century manuscript of the Ramayana at the Asiatic Society library , Kolkata . The Ramayana text has several regional renderings , recensions and sub recensions . Textual scholar Robert P. Goldman differentiates two major regional revisions : the northern ( n ) and the southern ( s ) . Scholar Romesh Chunder Dutt writes that `` the Ramayana , like the Mahabharata , is a growth of centuries , but the main story is more distinctly the creation of one mind . '' There has been discussion as to whether the first and the last volumes ( bala kandam and uttara kandam ) of Valmiki 's Ramayana were composed by the original author . Most Hindus still believe they are integral parts of the book , in spite of some style differences and narrative contradictions between these two volumes and the rest of the book . Retellings include Gona Budda Reddy 's Ramayanam in Telugu , Kamban 's Ramavataram in Tamil ( c. 11th -- 12th century ) , Madhava Kandali 's Saptakanda Ramayana in Assamese ( c. 14th century ) , Krittibas Ojha 's Krittivasi Ramayan ( also known as Shri Rama Panchali ) in Bengali ( c. 15th century ) , Sarala Das ' Vilanka Ramayana ( c. 15th century ) and Balaram Das ' Dandi Ramayana ( also known as the Jagamohan Ramayana ) ( c. 16th century ) both in Odia , sant Eknath 's Bhavarth Ramayan ( c. 16th century ) in Marathi , Tulsidas ' Ramcharitamanas ( c. 16th century ) in Awadhi ( which is an eastern form of Hindi ) and Thunchaththu Ezhuthachan 's Adhyathmaramayanam in Malayalam . Period ( edit ) Rama ( left third from top ) depicted in the Dashavatara , the ten avatars of Vishnu . Painting from Jaipur , now at the Victoria and Albert Museum Some cultural evidence , such as the presence of sati in Mahabharata but not in the main body of Ramayana , suggests that Ramayana predates Mahabharata . However , the general cultural background of Ramayana is one of the post-urbanization periods of the eastern part of north India and Nepal , while Mahabharata reflects the Kuru areas west of this , from the Rigvedic to the late Vedic period . By tradition , the text belongs to the Treta Yuga , second of the four eons ( yuga ) of Hindu chronology . Rama is said to have been born in the Treta yuga to king Dasharatha in the Ikshvaku dynasty . The names of the characters ( Rama , Sita , Dasharatha , Janaka , Vashista , Vishwamitra ) are all known in late Vedic literature . However , nowhere in the surviving Vedic poetry is there a story similar to the Ramayana of Valmiki . According to the modern academic view , Vishnu , who , according to bala kanda , was incarnated as Rama , first came into prominence with the epics themselves and further , during the puranic period of the later 1st millennium CE . Also , in the epic Mahabharata , there is a version of Ramayana known as Ramopakhyana . This version is depicted as a narration to Yudhishthira . There is general consensus that books two to six form the oldest portion of the epic , while the first and last books ( Bala Kanda and Uttara Kanda , respectively ) are later additions . The author or authors of Bala Kanda and Ayodhya Kanda appear to be familiar with the eastern Gangetic basin region of northern India and with the Kosala , Mithila and Magadha regions during the period of the sixteen Mahajanapadas , based on the fact that the geographical and geopolitical data accords with what is known about the region . The knowledge of the location of the island of Lanka also lacks detail . Basing his assumption on these features , archeologist Hasmukh Dhirajlal Sankalia has proposed a date of the 4th century BC for the composition of the text . Historian and Indologist Arthur Llewellyn Basham is of the opinion that Rama may have been a minor chief who lived in the 8th or the 7th century BCE .

Synopsis ( edit ) Bala Kanda ( edit ) Main article : Bala Kanda The marriage of the four sons of Dasharatha with the four daughters of Siradhvaja and Kushadhvaja Janakas . Rama and Sita , Laskhmana and Urmila , Bharata and Mandavi and Shatrughna with Shrutakirti . Dasharatha was the king of Ayodhya . He had three wives : Kaushalya , Kaikeyi and Sumitra . He was childless for a long time and anxious to produce an heir , so he performs a fire sacrifice known as putra - kameshti yagya . As a consequence , Rama is first born to Kaushalya , Bharata is born to Kaikeyi , Lakshmana and Shatrughna are born to Sumitra . These sons are endowed , to various degrees , with the essence of the Supreme Trinity Entity Vishnu ; Vishnu had opted to be born into mortality to combat the demon Ravana , who was oppressing the gods , and who could only be destroyed by a mortal . The boys are reared as the princes of the realm , receiving instructions from the scriptures and in warfare from Vashistha . When Rama is 16 years old , sage Vishwamitra comes to the court of Dasharatha in search of help against demons who were disturbing sacrificial rites . He chooses Rama , who is followed by Lakshmana , his constant companion throughout the story . Rama and Lakshmana receive instructions and supernatural weapons from Vishwamitra and proceed to destroy the demons . Janaka was the king of Mithila . One day , a female child was found in the field by the king in the deep furrow dug by his plough . Overwhelmed with joy , the king regarded the child as a `` miraculous gift of god '' . The child was named Sita , the Sanskrit word for furrow . Sita grew up to be a girl of unparalleled beauty and charm . The king had decided that who ever could lift and wield the heavy bow , presented to his ancestors by Shiva , could marry Sita . Sage Vishwamitra takes Rama and Lakshmana to Mithila to show the bow . Then Rama desires to lift it and goes on to wield the bow and when he draws the string , it breaks . Marriages are arranged between the sons of Dasharatha and daughters of Janaka . Rama gets married to Sita , Lakshmana to Urmila , Bharata to Mandavi and Shatrughna to Shrutakirti . The weddings are celebrated with great festivity in Mithila and the marriage party returns to Ayodhya . Ayodhya Kanda ( edit ) Rama leaving for fourteen years of exile from Ayodhya . After Rama and Sita have been married for twelve years , an elderly Dasharatha expresses his desire to crown Rama , to which the Kosala assembly and his subjects express their support . On the eve of the great event , Kaikeyi -- her jealousy aroused by Manthara , a wicked maidservant -- claims two boons that Dasharatha had long ago granted her . Kaikeyi demands Rama to be exiled into the wilderness for fourteen years , while the succession passes to her son Bharata . The heartbroken king , constrained by his rigid devotion to his given word , accedes to Kaikeyi 's demands . Rama accepts his father 's reluctant decree with absolute submission and calm self - control which characterises him throughout the story . He is joined by Sita and Lakshmana . When he asks Sita not to follow him , she says , `` the forest where you dwell is Ayodhya for me and Ayodhya without you is a veritable hell for me . '' After Rama 's departure , King Dasharatha , unable to bear the grief , passes away . Meanwhile , Bharata who was on a visit to his maternal uncle , learns about the events in Ayodhya . Bharata refuses to profit from his mother 's wicked scheming and visits Rama in the forest . He requests Rama to return and rule . But Rama , determined to carry out his father 's orders to the letter , refuses to return before the period of exile . However , Bharata carries Rama 's sandals and keeps them on the throne , while he rules as Rama 's regent . Aranya Kanda ( edit ) Main article : Aranya Kanda Ravana fights Jatayu as he carries off the kidnapped Sita . Painting by Raja Ravi Varma Thirteen years pass and in the last year of exile Rama , Sita and Lakshmana journey southward along the banks of river Godavari , where they build cottages and live off the land . At the Panchavati forest they are visited by a rakshasa ( demon ) woman , Surpanakha , sister of Ravana . She attempts to seduce the brothers and failing in this , attempts to kill Sita . Lakshmana stops her by cutting off her nose and ears . Hearing of this , her demon brother , Khara , organises an attack against the princes . Rama annihilates Khara and his demons . When news of these events reaches Ravana , he resolves to destroy Rama by capturing Sita with the aid of the rakshasa Maricha . Maricha , assuming the form of a golden deer , captivates Sita 's attention . Entranced by the beauty of the deer , Sita pleads with Rama to capture it . Lord Rama , aware that this is the ploy of the demons , can not dissuade Sita from her desire and chases the deer into the forest , leaving Sita under Lakshmana 's guard . After some time , Sita hears Rama calling out to her ; afraid for his life , she insists that Lakshmana rush to his aid . Lakshmana tries to assure her that Rama is invincible and that it is best if he continues to follow Rama 's orders to protect her . On the verge of hysterics , Sita insists that it is not she but Rama who needs Lakshmana 's help . He obeys her wish but stipulates that she is not to leave the cottage or entertain any strangers . He draws a chalk outline , the Lakshmana rekha , around the cottage and casts a spell on it that prevents anyone from entering the boundary but allows people to exit . With the coast finally clear , Ravana appears in the guise of an ascetic requesting Sita 's hospitality . Unaware of the devious plan of her guest , Sita is tricked into leaving the rekha and is then forcibly carried away by the evil Ravana . Jatayu , a vulture , tries to rescue Sita , but is mortally wounded . At Lanka , Sita is kept under the heavy guard of rakshasis . Ravana demands Sita marry him , but Sita , eternally devoted to Rama , refuses . Rama and Lakshmana learn about Sita 's abduction from Jatayu and immediately set out to save her . During their search , they meet the demon Kabandha and the ascetic Shabari , who direct them towards Sugriva and Hanuman . Kishkindha Kanda ( edit ) A stone bas - relief at Banteay Srei in Cambodia depicts the combat between Vali and Sugriva ( middle ) . To the right , Rama fires his bow . To the left , Vali lies dying . Kishkindha Kanda is set in the ape ( Vanara ) citadel Kishkindha . Rama and Lakshmana meet Hanuman , the biggest devotee of Rama , greatest of ape heroes and an adherent of Sugriva , the banished pretender to the throne of Kishkindha . Rama befriends Sugriva and helps him by killing his elder brother Vali thus regaining the kingdom of Kishkindha , in exchange for helping Rama to recover Sita . However Sugriva soon forgets his promise and spends his time in enjoying his powers . The clever former ape queen Tara ( wife of Vali ) calmly intervenes to prevent an enraged Lakshmana from destroying the ape citadel . She then eloquently convinces Sugriva to honour his pledge . Sugriva then sends search parties to the four corners of the earth , only to return without success from north , east and west . The southern search party under the leadership of Angada and Hanuman learns from a vulture named Sampati ( elder brother of Jatayu ) , that Sita was taken to Lanka . Sundara Kanda ( edit ) Main article : Sundara Kanda Ravana is meeting Sita at Ashokavana . Hanuman is seen on the tree . Sundara Kanda forms the heart of Valmiki 's Ramayana and consists of a detailed , vivid account of Hanuman 's adventures . After learning about Sita , Hanuman assumes a gargantuan form and makes a colossal leap across the sea to Lanka . On the way he meets with many challenges like facing a Gandharva kanya who comes in the form of a demon to test his abilities . He encounters a mountain named Mainakudu who offers Lord Hanuman assistance and offers him rest . Lord Hanuman refuses because there is little time remaining to complete the search for Sita . After entering into Lanka , he finds a demon , Lankini , who protects all of Lanka . Hanuman fights with her and subjugates her in order to get into Lanka . In the process Lankini , who had a earlier vision / warning from the gods that the end of Lanka nears if someone defeats Lankini . Here , Hanuman explores the demons ' kingdom and spies on Ravana . He locates Sita in Ashoka grove , where she is being wooed and threatened by Ravana and his rakshasis to marry Ravana . Hanuman reassures Sita , giving Rama 's signet ring as a sign of good faith . He offers to carry Sita back to Rama ; however , she refuses and says that it is not the dharma , stating that Ramayana will not have significance if Hanuman carries her to Rama - `` When Rama is not there Ravana carried Sita forcibly and when Ravana was not there , Hanuman carried Sita back to Rama '' . She says that Rama himself must come and avenge the insult of her abduction . Hanuman then wreaks havoc in Lanka by destroying trees and buildings and killing Ravana 's warriors . He allows himself to be captured and delivered to Ravana . He gives a bold lecture to Ravana to release Sita . He is condemned and his tail is set on fire , but he escapes his bonds and leaping from roof to roof , sets fire to Ravana 's citadel and makes the giant leap back from the island . The joyous search party returns to Kishkindha with the news . Yuddha Kanda ( edit ) The Battle at Lanka , Ramayana by Sahibdin . It depicts the monkey army of the protagonist Rama ( top left , blue figure ) fighting Ravana -- the demon - king of the Lanka -- to save Rama 's kidnapped wife , Sita . The painting depicts multiple events in the battle against the three - headed demon general Trisiras , in bottom left . Trisiras is beheaded by Hanuman , the monkey - companion of Rama . Also known as Lanka Kanda , this book describes the Ramayana War between the army of Rama and the army of Ravana . Having received Hanuman 's report on Sita , Rama and Lakshmana proceed with their allies towards the shore of the southern sea . There they are joined by Ravana 's renegade brother Vibhishana . The apes named Nala and Nila construct a floating bridge ( known as Rama Setu ) across the sea , using stones that floated on water because they had Rama 's name written on them . The princes and their army cross over to Lanka . A lengthy war ensues . During a battle , Ravana 's son Indrajit hurls a powerful weapon at Lakshmana , who is badly wounded and is nearly killed . So Hanuman assumes a gigantic form and flies from Lanka to the Himalayas . Upon reaching Mount Sumeru , Hanuman was unable to identify the herb that could cure Lakshmana and so decided to bring the entire mountain back to Lanka . Eventually , the war ends when Rama kills Ravana . Rama then installs Vibhishana on the throne of Lanka . On meeting Sita , Rama asks her to undergo an Agni Pariksha ( test of fire ) to prove her chastity , as he wants to get rid of the rumors surrounding her purity . When Sita plunges into the sacrificial fire , Agni , lord of fire raises Sita , unharmed , to the throne , attesting to her innocence . The episode of Agni Pariksha varies in the versions of Ramayana by Valmiki and Tulsidas . In earlier versions , this event does not occur and many scholars consider it to have been added later as society became more patriarchal . In Tulsidas 's Ramacharitamanas , Sita was under the protection of Agni ( see Maya Sita ) so it was necessary to bring her out before reuniting with Rama . At the expiration of his term of exile , Rama returns to Ayodhya with Sita and Lakshmana , where the coronation is performed . This is the beginning of Ram Rajya , which implies an ideal state with good morals . Ramayan is not only the story about how truth defeats the evil , it also teaches us to forget all the evil and arrogance that resides inside ourselves . Uttara Kanda ( edit ) Main article : Uttara Kanda Sita in the hermitage of Valmiki . Uttara Kanda is regarded to be a later addition to the original story by Valmiki and concerns the final years of Rama , Sita and Rama 's brothers . After being crowned king , Rama passes time pleasantly with Sita . After some time , Sita gets pregnant with twin children . However , despite Agni Pariksha ( `` fire ordeal '' ) of Sita , rumours about her `` purity '' are spreading among the populace of Ayodhya . Rama yields to public opinion and reluctantly banishes Sita to the forest , where the sage Valmiki provides shelter in his ashrama ( `` hermitage '' ) . Here , she gives birth to twin boys , Lava and Kusha , who become pupils of Valmiki and are brought up in ignorance of their identity . Valmiki composes the Ramayana and teaches Lava and Kusha to sing it . Later , Rama holds a ceremony during the Ashwamedha yagna , which sage Valmiki , with Lava and Kusha , attends . Lava and Kusha sing the Ramayana in the presence of Rama and his vast audience . When Lava and Kusha recite about Sita 's exile , Rama becomes grief - stricken and Valmiki produces Sita . Sita calls upon the Earth , her mother , to receive her and as the ground opens , she vanishes into it . Rama then learns that Lava and Kusha are his children . Many years later , a messenger from the Gods appears and informs Rama that the mission of his incarnation is over . Rama returns to his celestial abode along with his brothers . It was dramatised as Uttararamacarita by the Sanskrit poet Bhavabhuti . Versions ( edit ) See also : Versions of Ramayana The epic story of Ramayana was adopted by several cultures across Asia . Shown here is a Thai historic artwork depicting the battle which took place between Rama and Ravana . Relief with part of the Ramayana epic , shows Rama killed the golden deer that turn out to be the demon Maricha in disguise . Prambanan Trimurti temple near Yogyakarta , Java , Indonesia . As in many oral epics , multiple versions of the Ramayana survive . In particular , the Ramayana related in north India differs in important respects from that preserved in south India and the rest of southeast Asia . There is an extensive tradition of oral storytelling based on Ramayana in Indonesia , Cambodia , Philippines , Thailand , Malaysia , Laos , Vietnam and Maldives . Father Kamil Bulke , author of Ramakatha , has identified over 300 variants of the Ramayana . India ( edit ) The 7th century CE poem Bhaṭṭikāvya of Bhaṭṭi is a Sanskrit retelling of the epic that simultaneously illustrates the grammatical examples for Pāṇini 's Aṣṭādhyāyī as well as the major figures of speech and the Prakrit language . There are diverse regional versions of the Ramayana written by various authors in India . Some of them differ significantly from each other . During the 12th century , Kamban wrote Ramavataram , known popularly as Kambaramayanam in Tamil . A Telugu version , Ranganatha Ramayanam , was written by Gona Budda Reddy in the 14th century . The earliest translation to a regional Indo - Aryan language is the early 14th century Saptakanda Ramayana in Assamese by Madhava Kandali . Valmiki 's Ramayana inspired Sri Ramacharit Manas by Tulsidas in 1576 , an epic Awadhi ( a dialect of Hindi ) version with a slant more grounded in a different realm of Hindu literature , that of bhakti ; it is an acknowledged masterpiece of India , popularly known as Tulsi - krita Ramayana . Gujarati poet Premanand wrote a version of the Ramayana in the 17th century . Other versions include Krittivasi Ramayan , a Bengali version by Krittibas Ojha in the 15th century ; Vilanka Ramayana by 15th century poet Sarala Dasa and Dandi Ramayana ( also known as Jagamohana Ramayana ) by 16th century poet Balarama Dasa , both in Odia ; a Torave Ramayana in Kannada by 16th - century poet Narahari ; Adhyathmaramayanam , a Malayalam version by Thunchaththu Ramanujan Ezhuthachan in the 16th century ; in Marathi by Sridhara in the 18th century ; in Maithili by Chanda Jha in the 19th century ; and in the 20th century , Rashtrakavi Kuvempu 's Sri Ramayana Darshanam in Kannada . There is a sub-plot to the Ramayana , prevalent in some parts of India , relating the adventures of Ahiravan and Mahi Ravana , evil brother of Ravana , which enhances the role of Hanuman in the story . Hanuman rescues Rama and Lakshmana after they are kidnapped by the Ahi - Mahi Ravana at the behest of Ravana and held prisoner in a subterranean cave , to be sacrificed to the goddess Kali . Adbhuta Ramayana is a version that is obscure but also attributed to Valmiki -- intended as a supplementary to the original Valmiki Ramayana . In this variant of the narrative , Sita is accorded far more prominence , such as elaboration of the events surrounding her birth -- in this case to Ravana 's wife , Mandodari as well as her conquest of Ravana 's older brother in her Mahakali form . Mappillapattu -- a genre of song popular among the Muslims belonging to Kerala and Lakshadweep -- has incorporated some episodes from the Ramayana into its songs . These songs , known as mappila ramayana , have been handed down from one generation to the next orally . In mappila ramayana , the story of Ramayana has been changed into that of a sultan and there are no major changes in the names of characters except for that of Rama which is Laman in many places . The language and the imagery projected in the Mappilapattu are in accordance with the social fabric of the earlier Muslim community . Buddhist version ( edit ) In the Buddhist variant of the Ramayana ( Dasarathajātaka , # 467 ) , Dasharatha was king of Benares and not Ayodhya . Rama ( called Rāmapaṇḍita in this version ) was the son of Kaushalya , first wife of Dasharatha . Lakṣmaṇa ( Lakkhaṇa ) was a sibling of Rama and son of Sumitra , the second wife of Dasharatha . Sita was the wife of Rama . To protect his children from his wife Kaikeyi , who wished to promote her son Bharata , Dasharatha sent the three to a hermitage in the Himalayas for a twelve - year exile . After nine years , Dasharatha died and Lakkhaṇa and Sita returned ; Rāmapaṇḍita , in deference to his father 's wishes , remained in exile for a further two years . This version does not include the abduction of Sītā. There is no Ravan in this version i.e. no Ram - ravan war . In the explanatory commentary on Jātaka , Rāmapaṇḍita is said to have been a previous incarnation of Buddha , and Sita an incarnation of Yasodharā . But , Ravana appears in other Buddhist literature , Lankavatar Sutta . Jain version ( edit ) Main articles : Rama in Jainism and Salakapurusa This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( August 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Jain versions of the Ramayana can be found in the various Jain agamas like Ravisena 's Padmapurana ( story of Padmaja and Rama , Padmaja being the name of Sita ) , Hemacandra 's Trisastisalakapurusa charitra ( hagiography of 63 illustrious persons ) , Sanghadasa 's Vasudevahindi and Uttarapurana by Gunabhadara . According to Jain cosmology , every half time cycle has nine sets of Balarama , Vasudeva and prativasudeva . Rama , Lakshmana and Ravana are the eighth baladeva , vasudeva and prativasudeva respectively . Padmanabh Jaini notes that , unlike in the Hindu puranas , the names Baladeva and Vasudeva are not restricted to Balarama and Krishna in Jain Puranas . Instead they serve as names of two distinct classes of mighty brothers , who appear nine times in each half time cycle and jointly rule half the earth as half - chakravartins . Jaini traces the origin of this list of brothers to the jinacharitra ( lives of jinas ) by Acharya Bhadrabahu ( 3d -- 4th century BCE ) . In the Jain epic of Ramayana , it is Lakshmana who ultimately kills Ravana and not Rama as told in the Hindu version . In the end , Rama , who led an upright life , renounces his kingdom , becomes a Jain monk and attains moksha . On the other hand , Lakshmana and Ravana go to Hell . However , it is predicted that ultimately they both will be reborn as upright persons and attain liberation in their future births . According to Jain texts , Ravana will be the future Tirthankara ( omniscient teacher ) of Jainism . The Jain versions have some variations from Valmiki 's Ramayana . Dasharatha , the king of Saketa had four queens : Aparajita , Sumitra , Suprabha and Kaikeyi . These four queens had four sons . Aparajita 's son was Padma and he became known by the name of Rama . Sumitra 's son was Narayana : he came to be known by another name , Lakshmana . Kaikeyi 's son was Bharata and Suprabha 's son was Shatrughna . Furthermore , not much was thought of Rama 's fidelity to Sita . According to the Jain version , Rama had four chief queens : Maithili , Prabhavati , Ratinibha , and Sridama . Furthermore , Sita takes renunciation as a Jain ascetic after Rama abandons her and is reborn in heaven . Rama , after Lakshmana 's death , also renounces his kingdom and becomes a Jain monk . Ultimately , he attains Kevala Jnana omniscience and finally liberation . Rama predicts that Ravana and Lakshmana , who were in the fourth hell , will attain liberation in their future births . Accordingly , Ravana is the future tirthankara of the next half ascending time cycle and Sita will be his Ganadhara . Sikh version ( edit ) In Guru Granth Sahib , there is a description of two types of Ramayana . One is a spiritual Ramayana which is the actual subject of Guru Granth Sahib , in which Ravana is ego , Sita is budhi ( intellect ) , Rama is inner soul and Laxman is mann ( attention , mind ) . Guru Granth Sahib also believes in the existence of Dashavatara who were kings of their times which tried their best to restore order to the world . King Rama ( Ramchandra ) was one of those who is not covered in Guru Granth Sahib . Guru Granth Sahib states : ਹੁਕਮਿ ਉਪਾਏ ਦਸ ਅਉਤਾਰਾ ॥ हुकमि उपाए दस अउतारा ॥ By hukam ( supreme command ) , he created his ten incarnations This version of the Ramayana was written by Guru Gobind Singh , which is part of Dasam Granth . He also said that the almighty , invisible , all prevailing God created great numbers of Indras , Moons and Suns , Deities , Demons and sages , and also numerous saints and Brahmanas ( enlightened people ) . But they too were caught in the noose of death ( Kaal ) ( transmigration of the soul ) . This is similar to the explanation in Bhagavad Gita which is part of the Mahabharata . Nepal ( edit ) Besides being the site of discovery of the oldest surviving manuscript of the Ramayana , Nepal gave rise to two regional variants in mid 19th -- early 20th century . One , written by Bhanubhakta Acharya , is considered the first epic of Nepali language , while the other , written by Siddhidas Mahaju in Nepal Bhasa was a foundational influence in the Nepal Bhasa renaissance . Ramayana written by Bhanubhakta Acharya is one of the most popular verses in Nepal . The popularization of the Ramayana and its tale , originally written in Sanskrit Language was greatly enhanced by the work of Bhanubhakta . Mainly because of his writing of Nepali Ramayana , Bhanubhakta is also called Aadi Kavi or The Pioneering Poet . Southeast Asian ( edit ) Cambodia ( edit ) Cambodian classical dancers as Sita and Ravana , the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh ( c. 1920s ) The Cambodian version of the Ramayana , Reamker , is the most famous story of Khmer literature since the Kingdom of Funan era . It adapts the Hindu concepts to Buddhist themes and shows the balance of good and evil in the world . The Reamker has several differences from the original Ramayana , including scenes not included in the original and emphasis on Hanuman and Sovanna Maccha , a retelling which influences the Thai and Lao versions . Reamker in Cambodia is not confined to the realm of literature but extends to all Cambodian art forms , such as sculpture , Khmer classical dance , theatre known as lakhorn luang ( the foundation of the royal ballet ) , poetry and the mural and bas - reliefs seen at the Silver Pagoda and Angkor Wat . Indonesia ( edit ) Lakshmana , Rama and Sita during their exile in Dandaka Forest depicted in Javanese dance . Indonesia has some adaptations of Ramayana , include Kakawin Ramayana of Java , Ramakavaca of Bali ( Indonesia ) . Javanese version of Ramayana has some differences if compared with the original Hindu version . The first half of Kakawin Ramayana is similar to the original Sanskrit version , while the latter half is very different from the original Ramayana . One of the recognizable modification in Javanese version of Ramayana is the inclusion of the indigenous Javanese guardian god , Semar , and his misshapen sons , Gareng , Petruk , and Bagong who make up the numerically significant four Punokawan or `` clown servants '' . Kakawin Ramayana is believed to have been written in Central Java circa 870 AD during the reign of Mpu Sindok in Medang Kingdom . Kakawin Ramayana has also become the reference of Ramayana in the neighboring island of Bali . The bas reliefs of Ramayana and Krishnayana scenes are carved on balustrades wall of 9th century Prambanan temples in Yogyakarta . In Indonesia , Ramayana has been integrated into local culture especially those of Javanese , Balinese and Sundanese people , and has become the source of moral and spiritual guidance as well as aesthetic expression and also for entertainment , like in wayang and traditional dances .

In Ramakien , Sita is the daughter of Ravana and Mandodari ( thotsakan and montho ) . Vibhishana ( phiphek ) , the astrologer brother of Ravana , predicts calamity from the horoscope of Sita . Ravana has thrown her into the water , but she is later rescued by Janaka ( chanok ) . While the main story is identical to that of Ramayana , many other aspects were transposed into a Thai context , such as the clothes , weapons , topography and elements of nature , which are described as being Thai in style . It has an expanded role for Hanuman and he is portrayed as a lascivious character . Ramakien can be seen in an elaborate illustration at Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok .

Designed by James Keeler and constructed by John Brashear . Astronomical spectroscopy is the study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation , including visible light and radio , which radiates from stars and other hot celestial objects . Spectroscopy can be used to derive many properties of distant stars and galaxies , such as their chemical composition , temperature , density , mass , distance , luminosity , and relative motion using Doppler shift measurements .

While all spectroscopy looks at specific areas of the spectrum , different methods are required to acquire the signal depending on the frequency . Ozone ( O ) and molecular oxygen ( O ) absorb light with wavelengths under 300 nm , meaning that X-ray and ultraviolet spectroscopy require the use of a satellite telescope or rocket mounted detectors . Radio signals have much longer wavelengths than optical signals , and require the use of antennas or radio dishes . Infrared light is absorbed by atmospheric water and carbon dioxide , so while the equipment is similar to that used in optical spectroscopy , satellites are required to record much of the infrared spectrum . Optical spectroscopy ( edit ) Incident light reflects at the same angle ( black lines ) , but a small portion of the light is refracted as coloured light ( red and blue lines ) . Physicists have been looking at the solar spectrum since Isaac Newton first used a simple prism to observe the refractive properties of light . In the early 1800s Joseph von Fraunhofer used his skills as a glass maker to create very pure prisms , which allowed him to observe 574 dark lines in a seemingly continuous spectrum . Soon after he combined telescope and prism to observe the spectrum of Venus , the Moon , Mars , and various stars such as Betelgeuse ; his company continued to manufacture and sell high - quality refracting telescopes based on his original designs until its closure in 1884 . The resolution of a prism is limited by its size ; a larger prism will provide a more detailed spectrum , but the increase in mass makes it unsuitable for highly detailed work . This issue was resolved in the early 1900s with the development of high - quality reflection gratings by J.S. Plaskett at the Dominion Observatory in Ottawa , Canada . Light striking a mirror will reflect at the same angle , however a small portion of the light will be refracted at a different angle ; this is dependent upon the indices of refraction of the materials and the wavelength of the light . By creating a `` blazed '' grating which utilizes a large number of parallel mirrors , the small portion of light can be focused and visualized . These new spectroscopes were more detailed than a prism , required less light , and could be focused on a specific region of the spectrum by tilting the grating . The limitation to a blazed grating is the width of the mirrors , which can only be ground a finite amount before focus is lost ; the maximum is around 1000 lines / mm . In order to overcome this limitation holographic gratings were developed . Volume phase holographic gratings use a thin film of dichromated gelatin on a glass surface , which is subsequently exposed to a wave pattern created by an interferometer . This wave pattern sets up a reflection pattern similar to the blazed gratings but utilizing Bragg diffraction , a process where the angle of reflection is dependent on the arrangement of the atoms in the gelatin . The holographic gratings can have up to 6000 lines / mm and can be up to twice as efficient in collecting light as blazed gratings . Because they are sealed between two sheets of glass , the holographic gratings are very versatile , potentially lasting decades before needing replacement . Light dispersed by the grating or prism in a spectrograph can be recorded by a detector . Historically , photographic plates were widely used to record spectra until electronic detectors were developed , and today optical spectrographs most often employ charge - coupled devices ( CCDs ) . The wavelength scale of a spectrum can be calibrated by observing the spectrum of emission lines of known wavelength from a gas - discharge lamp . The flux scale of a spectrum can be calibrated as a function of wavelength by comparison with an observation of a standard star with corrections for atmospheric absorption of light ; this is known as spectrophotometry . Radio spectroscopy ( edit ) Radio astronomy was founded with the work of Karl Jansky in the early 1930s , while working for Bell Labs . He built a radio antenna to look at potential sources of interference for transatlantic radio transmissions . One of the sources of noise discovered came not from Earth , but from the center of the Milky Way , in the constellation Sagittarius . In 1942 , JS Hey captured the sun 's radio frequency using military radar receivers . Radio spectroscopy started with the discovery of the 21 - centimeter H I line in 1951 . Radio interferometry was pioneered in 1946 , when Joseph Lade Pawsey , Ruby Payne - Scott and Lindsay McCready used a single antenna atop a sea cliff to observe 200 MHz solar radiation . Two incident beams , one directly from the sun and the other reflected from the sea surface , generated the necessary interference . The first multi-receiver interferometer was built in the same year by Martin Ryle and Vonberg . In 1960 , Ryle and Antony Hewish published the technique of aperture synthesis to analyze interferometer data . The aperture synthesis process , which involves autocorrelating and discrete Fourier transforming the incoming signal , recovers both the spatial and frequency variation in flux . The result is a 3D image whose third axis is frequency . For this work , Ryle and Hewish were jointly awarded the 1974 Nobel Prize in Physics . X-ray spectroscopy ( edit ) Main article : X-ray astronomy Stars and their properties ( edit ) Chemical properties ( edit ) Continuous spectrum Emission lines Absorption lines Newton used a prism to split white light into a spectrum of color , and Fraunhofer 's high - quality prisms allowed scientists to see dark lines of an unknown origin . In the 1850s , Gustav Kirchhoff and Robert Bunsen described the phenomena behind these dark lines . Hot solid objects produce light with a continuous spectrum , hot gases emit light at specific wavelengths , and hot solid objects surrounded by cooler gases show a near - continuous spectrum with dark lines corresponding to the emission lines of the gases . By comparing the absorption lines of the sun with emission spectra of known gases , the chemical composition of stars can be determined . The major Fraunhofer lines , and the elements with which they are associated , appear in the following table . Designations from the early Balmer Series are shown in parentheses . Designation Element Wavelength ( nm ) y O 898.765 Z O 822.696 O 759.370 O 686.719 C ( Hα ) 656.281 O 627.661 Na 589.592 Na 588.995 D or d He 587.5618 Hg 546.073 Fe 527.039 Mg 518.362 Mg 517.270 Fe 516.891 Mg 516.733 Designation Element Wavelength ( nm ) Fe 495.761 F ( Hβ ) 486.134 d Fe 466.814 Fe 438.355 G ' ( Hγ ) 434.047 Fe 430.790 Ca 430.774 h ( Hδ ) 410.175 Ca 396.847 Ca 393.368 Fe 382.044 Fe 358.121 Ti 336.112 Fe 302.108 Ni 299.444 Not all of the elements in the sun were immediately identified . Two examples are listed below . In 1868 Norman Lockyer and Pierre Janssen independently observed a line next to the sodium doublet ( D and D ) which Lockyer determined to be a new element . He named it Helium , but it was n't until 1895 the element was found on Earth . In 1869 the astronomers Charles Augustus Young and William Harkness independently observed a novel green emission line in the Sun 's corona during an eclipse . This `` new '' element was incorrectly named coronium , as it was only found in the corona . It was not until the 1930s that Walter Grotrian and Bengt Edlén discovered that the spectral line at 530.3 nm was due to highly ionized iron ( Fe ) . Other unusual lines in the coronal spectrum are also caused by highly charged ions , such as nickel and calcium , the high ionization being due to the extreme temperature of the solar corona . To date more than 20 000 absorption lines have been listed for the Sun between 293.5 and 877.0 nm , yet only approximately 75 % of these lines have been linked to elemental absorption . By analyzing the width of each spectral line in an emission spectrum , both the elements present in a star and their relative abundances can be determined . Using this information stars can be categorized into stellar populations ; Population I stars are the youngest stars and have the highest metal content ( our Sun is a Pop I star ) , while Population III stars are the oldest stars with a very low metal content . Temperature and size ( edit ) Black body curves for various temperatures . In 1860 Gustav Kirchhoff proposed the idea of a black body , a material that emits electromagnetic radiation at all wavelengths . In 1894 Wilhelm Wien derived an expression relating the temperature ( T ) of a black body to its peak emission wavelength ( λ ) . λ max T = b ( \ displaystyle \ lambda _ ( \ text ( max ) ) T = b ) b is a constant of proportionality called Wien 's displacement constant , equal to 6997289777290000000 ♠ 2.897 7729 ( 17 ) × 10 m ⋅ K . This equation is called Wien 's Law . By measuring the peak wavelength of a star , the surface temperature can be determined . For example , if the peak wavelength of a star is 502 nm the corresponding temperature will be 5778 kelvins . The luminosity of a star is a measure of the electromagnetic energy output in a given amount of time . Luminosity ( L ) can be related to the temperature ( T ) of a star by L = 4 π R 2 σ T 4 ( \ displaystyle L = 4 \ pi R ^ ( 2 ) \ sigma T ^ ( 4 ) ) , where R is the radius of the star and σ is the Stefan -- Boltzmann constant , with a value of 6992567036700000000 ♠ 5.670 367 ( 13 ) × 10 W ⋅ m ⋅ K. Thus , when both luminosity and temperature are known ( via direct measurement and calculation ) the radius of a star can be determined . See also : Luminosity and Magnitude ( astronomy ) Galaxies ( edit ) The spectra of galaxies look similar to stellar spectra , as they consist of the combined light of millions of stars . Doppler shift studies of galaxy clusters by Fritz Zwicky in 1937 found that most galaxies were moving much faster than seemed to be possible from what was known about the mass of the cluster . Zwicky hypothesized that there must be a great deal of non-luminous matter in the galaxy clusters , which became known as dark matter . Since his discovery , astronomers have determined that a large portion of galaxies ( and most of the universe ) is made up of dark matter . In 2003 , however , four galaxies ( NGC 821 , NGC 3379 , NGC 4494 , and NGC 4697 ) were found to have little to no dark matter influencing the motion of the stars contained within them ; the reason behind the lack of dark matter is unknown . In the 1950s , strong radio sources were found to be associated with very dim , very red objects . When the first spectrum of one of these objects was taken there were absorption lines at wavelengths where none were expected . It was soon realised that what was observed was a normal galactic spectrum , but highly red shifted . These were named quasi-stellar radio sources , or quasars , by Hong - Yee Chiu in 1964 . Quasars are now thought to be galaxies formed in the early years of our universe , with their extreme energy output powered by super-massive black holes . The properties of a galaxy can also be determined by analyzing the stars found within them . NGC 4550 , a galaxy in the Virgo Cluster , has a large portion of its stars rotating in the opposite direction as the other portion . It is believed that the galaxy is the combination of two smaller galaxies that were rotating in opposite directions to each other . Bright stars in galaxies can also help determine the distance to a galaxy , which may be a more accurate method than parallax or standard candles . Interstellar medium ( edit ) The interstellar medium is matter that occupies the space between star systems in a galaxy. 99 % of this matter is gaseous - hydrogen , helium , and smaller quantities of other ionized elements such as oxygen . The other 1 % is dust particles , thought to be mainly graphite , silicates , and ices . Clouds of the dust and gas are referred to as nebulae . There are three main types of nebula : absorption , reflection , and emission nebulae . Absorption ( or dark ) nebulae are made of dust and gas in such quantities that they obscure the starlight behind them , making photometry difficult . Reflection nebulae , as their name suggest , reflect the light of nearby stars . Their spectra are the same as the stars surrounding them , though the light is bluer ; shorter wavelengths scatter better than longer wavelengths . Emission nebulae emit light at specific wavelengths depending on their chemical composition . Gaseous emission nebulae ( edit ) In the early years of astronomical spectroscopy , scientists were puzzled by the spectrum of gaseous nebulae . In 1864 William Huggins noticed that many nebulae showed only emission lines rather than a full spectrum like stars . From the work of Kirchhoff , he concluded that nebulae must contain `` enormous masses of luminous gas or vapour . '' However , there were several emission lines that could not be linked to any terrestrial element , brightest among them lines at 495.9 nm and 500.7 nm . These lines were attributed to a new element , nebulium , until Ira Bowen determined in 1927 that the emission lines were from highly ionised oxygen ( O ) . These emission lines could not be replicated in a laboratory because they are forbidden lines ; the low density of a nebula ( one atom per cubic centimetre ) allows for metastable ions to decay via forbidden line emission rather than collisions with other atoms . Not all emission nebulae are found around or near stars where solar heating causes ionisation . The majority of gaseous emission nebulae are formed of neutral hydrogen . In the ground state neutral hydrogen has two possible spin states : the electron has either the same spin or the opposite spin of the proton . When the atom transitions between these two states , it releases an emission or absorption line of 21 cm . This line is within the radio range and allows for very precise measurements : Velocity of the cloud can be measured via Doppler shift The intensity of the 21 cm line gives the density and number of atoms in the cloud The temperature of the cloud can be calculated Using this information the shape of the Milky Way has been determined to be a spiral galaxy , though the exact number and position of the spiral arms is the subject of ongoing research . Complex molecules ( edit ) Main article : List of interstellar and circumstellar molecules Dust and molecules in the interstellar medium not only obscures photometry , but also causes absorption lines in spectroscopy . Their spectral features are generated by transitions of component electrons between different energy levels , or by rotational or vibrational spectra . Detection usually occurs in radio , microwave , or infrared portions of the spectrum . The chemical reactions that form these molecules can happen in cold , diffuse clouds or in the hot ejecta around a white dwarf star from a nova or supernova . Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as acetylene ( C H ) generally group together to form graphites or other sooty material , but other organic molecules such as acetone ( ( CH ) CO ) and buckminsterfullerenes ( C and C ) have been discovered . Motion in the universe ( edit ) Redshift and blueshift Stars and interstellar gas are bound by gravity to form galaxies , and groups of galaxies can be bound by gravity in galaxy clusters . With the exception of stars in the Milky Way and the galaxies in the Local Group , almost all galaxies are moving away from us due to the expansion of the universe . Doppler effect and redshift ( edit ) The motion of stellar objects can be determined by looking at their spectrum . Because of the Doppler effect , objects moving towards us are blueshifted , and objects moving away are redshifted . The wavelength of redshifted light is longer , appearing redder than the source . Conversely , the wavelength of blueshifted light is shorter , appearing bluer than the source light : λ − λ 0 λ 0 = v 0 c ( \ displaystyle ( \ frac ( \ lambda - \ lambda _ ( 0 ) ) ( \ lambda _ ( 0 ) ) ) = ( \ frac ( v_ ( 0 ) ) ( c ) ) ) where λ 0 ( \ displaystyle \ lambda _ ( 0 ) ) is the emitted wavelength , v 0 ( \ displaystyle v_ ( 0 ) ) is the velocity of the object , and λ ( \ displaystyle \ lambda ) is the observed wavelength . Note that v < 0 corresponds to λ < λ , a blueshifted wavelength . A redshifted absorption or emission line will appear more towards the red end of the spectrum than a stationary line . In 1913 Vesto Slipher determined the Andromeda Galaxy was blueshifted , meaning it was moving towards the Milky Way . He recorded the spectra of 20 other galaxies -- all but 4 of which were redshifted -- and was able to calculate their velocities relative to the Earth . Edwin Hubble would later use this information , as well as his own observations , to define Hubble 's law : The further a galaxy is from the Earth , the faster it is moving away from us . Hubble 's law can be generalised to v = H 0 d ( \ displaystyle v = H_ ( 0 ) d ) where v ( \ displaystyle v ) is the velocity ( or Hubble Flow ) , H 0 ( \ displaystyle H_ ( 0 ) ) is the Hubble Constant , and d ( \ displaystyle d ) is the distance from Earth . Redshift ( z ) can be expressed by the following equations : Calculation of redshift , z ( \ displaystyle z ) Based on wavelength Based on frequency z = λ o b s v − λ e m i t λ e m i t ( \ displaystyle z = ( \ frac ( \ lambda _ ( \ mathrm ( obsv ) ) - \ lambda _ ( \ mathrm ( emit ) ) ) ( \ lambda _ ( \ mathrm ( emit ) ) ) ) ) z = f e m i t − f o b s v f o b s v ( \ displaystyle z = ( \ frac ( f_ ( \ mathrm ( emit ) ) - f_ ( \ mathrm ( obsv ) ) ) ( f_ ( \ mathrm ( obsv ) ) ) ) ) 1 + z = λ o b s v λ e m i t ( \ displaystyle 1 + z = ( \ frac ( \ lambda _ ( \ mathrm ( obsv ) ) ) ( \ lambda _ ( \ mathrm ( emit ) ) ) ) ) 1 + z = f e m i t f o b s v ( \ displaystyle 1 + z = ( \ frac ( f_ ( \ mathrm ( emit ) ) ) ( f_ ( \ mathrm ( obsv ) ) ) ) ) In these equations , frequency is denoted by f ( \ displaystyle f ) and wavelength by λ ( \ displaystyle \ lambda ) . The larger the value of z , the more redshifted the light and the farther away the object is from the Earth . As of January 2013 , the largest galaxy redshift of z ~ 12 was found using the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field , corresponding to an age of over 13 billion years ( the universe is approximately 13.82 billion years old ) . The Doppler effect and Hubble 's law can be combined to form the equation z = v H u b b l e c ( \ displaystyle z = ( \ frac ( v_ ( Hubble ) ) ( c ) ) ) , where c is the speed of light . Peculiar motion ( edit ) Objects that are gravitationally bound will rotate around a common center of mass . For stellar bodies , this motion is known as peculiar velocity , and can alter the Hubble Flow . Thus , an extra term for the peculiar motion needs to be added to Hubble 's law : v t o t a l = H 0 d + v p e c ( \ displaystyle v_ ( total ) = H_ ( 0 ) d + v_ ( pec ) ) This motion can cause confusion when looking at a solar or galactic spectrum , because the expected redshift based on the simple Hubble law will be obscured by the peculiar motion . For example , the shape and size of the Virgo Cluster has been a matter of great scientific scrutiny due to the very large peculiar velocities of the galaxies in the cluster . Binary stars ( edit ) Two stars of different size orbiting the center of mass . The spectrum can be seen to split depending on the position and velocity of the stars . Just as planets can be gravitationally bound to stars , pairs of stars can orbit each other . Some binary stars are visual binaries , meaning they can be observed orbiting each other through a telescope . Some binary stars , however , are too close together to be resolved . These two stars , when viewed through a spectrometer , will show a composite spectrum : the spectrum of each star will be added together . This composite spectrum becomes easier to detect when the stars are of similar luminosity and of different spectral class . Spectroscopic binaries can be also detected due to their radial velocity ; as they orbit around each other one star may be moving towards the Earth whilst the other moves away , causing a Doppler shift in the composite spectrum . The orbital plane of the system determines the magnitude of the observed shift : if the observer is looking perpendicular to the orbital plane there will be no observed radial velocity . For example , if you look at a carousel from the side , you will see the animals moving toward and away from you , whereas if you look from directly above they will only be moving in the horizontal plane . Planets , asteroids , and comets ( edit ) Planets , asteroids , and comets all reflect light from their parent stars and emit their own light . For cooler objects , including solar - system planets and asteroids , most of the emission is at infrared wavelengths we can not see , but that are routinely measured with spectrometers . For objects surrounded by gas , such as comets and planets with atmospheres , further emission and absorption happens at specific wavelengths in the gas , imprinting the spectrum of the gas on that of the solid object . In the case of worlds with thick atmospheres or complete cloud cover ( such as the gas giants , Venus , and Saturn 's satellite Titan ( moon ) ) , the spectrum is mostly or completely due to the atmosphere alone . Planets ( edit ) The reflected light of a planet contains absorption bands due to minerals in the rocks present for rocky bodies , or due to the elements and molecules present in the atmosphere . To date over 3,500 exoplanets have been discovered . These include so - called Hot Jupiters , as well as Earth - like planets . Using spectroscopy , compounds such as alkali metals , water vapor , carbon monoxide , carbon dioxide , and methane have all been discovered . Asteroids ( edit ) Asteroids can be classified into three major types according to their spectra . The original categories were created by Clark R. Chapman , David Morrison , and Ben Zellner in 1975 , and further expanded by David J. Tholen in 1984 . In what is now known as the Tholen classification , the C - types are made of carbonaceous material , S - types consist mainly of silicates , and X-types are ' metallic ' . There are other classifications for unusual asteroids. C - and S - type asteroids are the most common asteroids . In 2002 the Tholen classification was further `` evolved '' into the SMASS classification , expanding the number of categories from 14 to 26 to account for more precise spectroscopic analysis of the asteroids . Comets ( edit ) Optical spectrum of Comet Hyakutake . The spectra of comets consist of a reflected solar spectrum from the dusty clouds surrounding the comet , as well as emission lines from gaseous atoms and molecules excited to fluorescence by sunlight and / or chemical reactions . For example , the chemical composition of Comet ISON was determined by spectroscopy due to the prominent emission lines of cyanogen ( CN ) , as well as two - and three - carbon atoms ( C and C ) . Nearby comets can even be seen in X-ray as solar wind ions flying to the coma are neutralized . The cometary X-ray spectra therefore reflect the state of the solar wind rather than that of the comet .

A sequel to Rise of the Planet of the Apes ( 2011 ) and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes ( 2014 ) , it is the third installment in the Planet of the Apes reboot series . The film stars Andy Serkis , Woody Harrelson and Steve Zahn , and follows a confrontation between the apes , led by Caesar , and the humans for control of Earth . Like its predecessor , its premise shares several similarities to the fifth film in the original series , Battle for the Planet of the Apes , but it is not a direct remake . Principal photography began on October 14 , 2015 , in Vancouver . War for the Planet of the Apes premiered in New York City on July 10 , 2017 , and was theatrically released in the United States on July 14 , 2017 , by 20th Century Fox . The film has grossed over $490 million and received critical praise , with many reviewers highlighting the acting ( particularly Serkis ) , visual effects , story , musical score , and direction , and some calling it one of the best conclusions ever to a film trilogy .

Alpha - Omega has in its service apes ( called `` donkeys '' ) that had previously followed Koba , a maniacal , human - hating bonobo who led a failed coup against Caesar and started the war after leading a vengeful attack against human survivors in San Francisco . During Alpha - Omega 's attack , the human soldiers are met by heavy ape resistance . Four soldiers and a `` donkey '' gorilla named Red are captured by the apes . Caesar arrives and releases the human soldiers , telling them to deliver a message to the Colonel - that he killed Koba for starting the war and that he desires peace between the humans and apes . Caesar then orders that Red be imprisoned but Red escapes , injuring albino gorilla Winter . Soon after , Caesar 's son , Blue Eyes , and his lieutenant Rocket return from a journey to find a safe haven for the apes . They report that they have found a place across the desert that is perfect for the clan . Winter , still frightened from the soldiers ' attack , wants to leave immediately , but Caesar does not think they are prepared to leave so soon . That night , a group of Alpha - Omega soldiers , led by the Colonel , infiltrates the apes ' home behind a waterfall . The apes discover their presence and kill them all except the Colonel , whom Caesar encounters preparing to escape . Discovering that the Colonel has killed his wife Cornelia along with Blue Eyes , an enraged Caesar lunges at the Colonel but fails to prevent him from escaping out of the waterfall . Upon discovering that Winter has disappeared , Luca , a gorilla and Caesar 's secondary lieutenant , believes that he has betrayed them out of cowardice . Leaving his younger son Cornelius in the care of Blue Eyes ' mate Lake , Caesar departs to exact revenge on the Colonel for the deaths of his wife and oldest son . He is accompanied by Maurice , a orangutan and Caesar 's adviser , Luca , and Rocket . The other apes head for the desert . During their journey , the apes enter an abandoned village , encounter a soldier , and kill him . Caesar , Maurice , Luca , and Rocket search the dead soldier 's home . Maurice discovers a girl who the soldier was looking after . She is apparently unable to speak . Maurice befriends and adopts the girl , giving her a small rag doll . Caesar 's party eventually sneak inside an Alpha - Omega camp on a beach and encounter Winter , who has volunteered to become a `` donkey '' for the soldiers in return for sparing his life . He tells Caesar 's group that the Colonel has departed for a location called the `` border '' , where soldiers further north will meet them . Winter tries to call out to the Alpha - Omega soldiers to save him , and Caesar and the others restrain him from making noise . In the struggle , Caesar accidentally smothers and kills Winter . Caesar begins to worry that he is becoming like Koba by killing his fellow apes and seeking revenge . While following the soldiers to the border , the group discover some soldiers who have been shot and left for dead . Their examination of a soldier who survived reveals that he , like the girl , can not speak . At the soldier 's urging , Caesar kills him . Later , they encounter Bad Ape , a reclusive chimpanzee hermit who lived in the Sierra Zoo before the Simian Flu pandemic . Bad Ape reveals that the human soldiers are encamped at the border and hesitantly agrees to lead them there . When the group arrives at the border , they see hundreds of apes held captive inside a former quarantine facility . While getting a closer look , Luca is killed protecting Caesar from an Alpha - Omega patrol , angering Caesar and causing him to proceed alone . Caesar discovers that the captured apes belong to his clan , and are being forced to build a wall with no food or water . After Caesar is captured by Red , the Colonel reveals to Caesar that the Simian Flu virus has mutated and now causes humans who survived the original strain to become mute , which he believes is a sign of devolution to a primitive state . Caesar deduces that the Colonel is barricading the facility to fend off remnants of the U.S. Army from the north who are coming to execute him because he favors massacring any infected humans , including his own son , to stop the spread of the virus . Caesar is commended by the Colonel for his intelligence , and the Colonel explains that he is fighting a `` holy war '' for humanity 's survival . While Caesar is tortured with starvation , the mute girl , whom Maurice names Nova , sneaks into the facility to give Caesar food , water , and her rag doll ( originally given to her by Maurice ) . To prevent Nova from being discovered , Rocket allows himself to be captured as a diversion . The next day , the Colonel comes to see if Caesar is still alive , and confiscates Nova 's doll upon discovering it . Together , Caesar and Rocket are able to work out a means of escape via an underground tunnel that leads out of the facility . Maurice and Bad Ape use the tunnel to rescue the apes , and Caesar orders the others to escape while he goes to confront the Colonel as the facility comes under attack by the northern army . Caesar reaches the Colonel and prepares to kill him , but discovers that Nova 's doll has infected him with the mutated virus , rendering him unable to speak . Caesar spares the Colonel and watches as he uses his pistol to commit suicide , rather than regressing to a primitive state . During the battle between Alpha - Omega and the northern army , the escaping apes come under fire from Alpha - Omega . Red watches the apes struggle to escape and being picked off by the humans , and seems to be disturbed by watching his own kind suffer such a fate . Caesar attempts to attack Alpha - Omega forces from behind , but is shot with a crossbow by Preacher , one of the Alpha - Omega soldiers he had previously set free . In an act of redemption , Red saves Caesar 's life by killing Preacher with a grenade launcher , and gets shot by an Alpha - Omega superior as a result . In the chaos , Caesar blows up a large fuel tank , causing a cascade of explosions which destroys the Alpha - Omega facility , allowing the northern army to win the battle . However , the army is subsequently devastated by an avalanche , which Caesar and the other apes , carrying Nova , survive by climbing nearby trees . The remaining apes depart the facility and cross the desert to find an oasis . While the other apes joyously celebrate their new home , Maurice discovers Caesar 's wound . Maurice then speaks , telling the dying Caesar that Cornelius will know who his father was , what he stood for and what he did to protect the apes . Caesar then slowly and silently succumbs to his wounds , dying peacefully while Maurice mourns his passing as the other apes look on . Cast ( edit ) Apes ( edit ) Andy Serkis as Caesar , an intelligent common chimpanzee who is leader to a tribe of genetically enhanced apes .

Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) Matt Reeves , Andy Serkis and Dylan Clark at New York Comic - Con 2016 for the War for the Planet of the Apes panel After seeing his cut of Dawn , 20th Century Fox and Chernin Entertainment signed Matt Reeves to return as director for a third installment of the reboot series . In January 2014 , the studio announced the third film , with Reeves returning to direct and co-write along with Bomback , and Peter Chernin , Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver serving as producers . During an interview in mid-November 2014 with MTV , Andy Serkis said they did not know the next film 's setting . `` ... It could be five years after the event . It could be the night after the events of where we left ' Dawn . ' '' In May 2015 , the title was first given as War of the Planet of the Apes . By October 2015 , it had been retitled as War for the Planet of the Apes . When director Reeves and screenwriter Bomback came on board to helm Dawn , the film already had a release date , which led to an accelerated production schedule . However , with the third installment , Fox wanted to give the duo plenty of time to write and make the film . Taking advantage of this , the two bonded with each other more than before . In interviews for Dawn , Reeves talked about the inevitable war Caesar would have with the humans : `` As this story continues , we know that war is not avoided by the end of Dawn . That is going to take us into the world of what he is grappling with . Where he is going to be thrust into circumstances that he never , ever wanted to deal with , and was hoping he could avoid . And now he is right in the middle of it . The things that happen in that story test him in huge ways , in the ways in which his relationship with Koba haunts him deeply . It 's going to be an epic story . I think you 've probably read that I sort of described it where in the first film was very much about his rise from humble beginnings to being a revolutionary . The second movie was about having to rise to the challenge of being a great leader in the most difficult of times . This is going to be the story that is going to cement his status as a seminal figure in ape history , and sort of leads to an almost biblical status . He is going to become like a mythic ape figure , like Moses . '' Toby Kebbell , who portrayed Koba in Dawn , had expressed interest in reprising his role or performing as other characters . Plans to include Koba in a larger role in the film were abandoned early , with Bomback saying , `` If you stayed until the very end of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes , you hear Koba 's breathing . We did that to give us a tiny crack of a possibility that we could revive Koba if we wanted to . Very early on in spitballing , we realized there was nothing more to do with Koba -- certainly nothing that would exceed what he had done in the last story . But we knew we wanted to keep him alive as an idea . In playing out the reality of what happened at the end of the last film , Caesar would be traumatized by having to kill his brother . That would have resonance , and we wanted to make sure that did n't get lost . So the answer was that we could go inside Caesar 's mind at this point and revisit Koba that way . '' Casting ( edit ) In August 2015 , Deadline reported that Gabriel Chavarria had been cast as one of the humans in the film . In September 2015 , The Hollywood Reporter announced that Woody Harrelson had been cast as the film 's antagonist , and that Chavarria 's role was supporting . In October 2015 , TheWrap reported that Steve Zahn was cast as a new ape in the film . It was also announced that actress Amiah Miller was cast as one of the film 's humans , with Judy Greer and Karin Konoval reprising their roles as Cornelia and Maurice , while Aleks Paunovic and Sara Canning were cast as new apes . Filming ( edit ) Principal photography on the film began on October 14 , 2015 in the Lower Mainland in Vancouver , under the working title Hidden Fortress . Filming was expected to take place there until early March 2016 . Parts of the film were expected to shoot for up to five days in the Kananaskis in late January and early February . In March , Serkis confirmed that he had finished shooting his portions . Visual effects ( edit ) As with Rise and Dawn , the visual effects for War were created by Weta Digital ; the apes were created with a mixture of motion - capture and CGI key - frame animation , as they were performed in motion - capture technology and animated in CGI . Influences ( edit ) At New York Comic - Con 2016 , Reeves explained that he and Bomback were influenced by many films before writing . He said , `` One of the first things that Mark and I did because we had just finished Dawn was that we decided to watch a million movies . We decided to do what people fantasize what Hollywood screenwriters get to do but no one actually does . We got Fox to give us a theater and we watched movie after movie . We watched every Planet of the Apes movie , war movies , westerns , Empire Strikes Back ... We just thought , ' We have to pretend we have all the time in the world , ' even though we had limited time . We got really inspired . '' Additionally , during production , Reeves and Bomback sought broader inspirations from films like Bridge on the River Kwai and The Great Escape . Feeling that there was a need to imbue Biblical themes and elements , they also watched Biblical epics like Ben - Hur and The Ten Commandments . The influences and inspirations were made evident in the relationship between Caesar and Woody Harrelson 's Colonel , a military leader with pretensions toward godhood . Reeves has compared their relationship to the dynamic between Alec Guinness 's British Commander and Sessue Hayakawa 's prison camp Colonel in Bridge on the River Kwai . Another comparison is in Caesar 's journey to find the Colonel , flanked by a posse of close friends -- a situation Reeves explicitly tied to Clint Eastwood 's war - weary soldier in The Outlaw Josey Wales . Influences from the film Apocalypse Now , notably Harrelson 's character and his Alpha - Omega faction being similar to Colonel Kurtz 's renegade army , were also noted by several journalists . Harrelson has also acknowledged the similarities and inspiration .

Marketing ( edit ) Special behind - the - scenes footage for the film was aired on TV on November 22 , 2015 , as part of a contest announcement presented by director Matt Reeves and Andy Serkis . The footage aired during The Walking Dead on AMC . The announcement allowed winners to wear a performance - capture suit and appear in a scene as an ape . The announcement was released on 20th Century Fox 's official YouTube page later the same day . At a New York Comic Con special event on October 6 , Reeves , Serkis and producer Dylan Clark debuted an exclusive look at the film . Serkis has also mentioned that the film would be accompanied by a video game , for which he performed motion capture . Titled Planet of the Apes : Last Frontier , the game is set for release for the PlayStation 4 , Xbox One and PC in fall 2017 . Home media ( edit ) War for the Planet of the Apes was released on Digital HD on October 10 , 2017 , and on Blu - ray and DVD on October 24 , 2017 by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) As of October 19 , 2017 , War for the Planet of the Apes has grossed $146.7 million in the United States and Canada and $343.4 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $490.1 million , against a production budget of $150 million . In North America , the film was projected to gross $50 -- 60 million in its opening weekend , however , given its acclaimed status and strong word - of - mouth , rival studios believed the film had the potential to debut as high as $70 -- 80 million . War was closely monitored by analysts while the summer was witnessing a decline in ticket sales , a situation that they blamed on franchise fatigue for an overabundance of sequels and reboots ( such as Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Men Tell No Tales , Transformers : The Last Knight and The Mummy ) . However , box office analysts noted that well - reviewed films have tended to perform in - line with estimates ( Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 , Wonder Woman and Spider - Man : Homecoming ) . The film grossed $5 million from Thursday night previews at 3,021 theaters , up 22 % from the $4.1 million earned by its predecessor , and $22.1 million on its first day . It went on to debut to $56.3 million , topping the box office , albeit with a 22 % drop from Dawn 's $72.6 million debut . In its second weekend , the film grossed $20.9 million ( a drop of 62.9 % , more than the 50.4 % fall Dawn saw ) , finishing 4th at the box office . In its third weekend , the film made $10.5 million ( dropping another 49.9 % ) , finishing 6th at the box office . It was lower than the third weeks of both Rise ( $16.1 million ) and Dawn ( $16.8 million ) . Outside North America , War for the Planet of the Apes is receiving a scattered release in a span of three months ( July -- September ) . The film began its release in about a third of the marketplace on July 14 , albeit only in two major markets , and was projected to have an opening of $50 -- 60 million , with the potential to go higher if smaller Asian markets over-perform , as they have for recent tent poles . The film ended up having an international debut of $44.2 million , including $9.27 million in the United Kingdom . Critical response ( edit ) War for the Planet of the Apes received critical acclaim for the performances of its cast ( particularly Serkis ) , direction , musical score , visual effects , cinematography and morally complex storyline . On review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 93 % , based on 274 reviews , with a rating average of 8.1 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` War for the Planet of the Apes combines breathtaking special effects and a powerful , poignant narrative to conclude this rebooted trilogy on a powerful -- and truly blockbuster -- note . '' On review aggregator Metacritic , which assigns a weighted average rating to reviews , the film has a score of 82 out of 100 , based on 50 critics , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A -- '' on an A+ to F scale , the same score earned by its two immediate predecessors . Scott Collura of IGN awarded the film a score of 9.5 out of 10 , saying : `` War for the Planet of the Apes is an excellent closing act to this rebooted trilogy , but also one that does enough world - building that the series can potentially continue from here -- and it 's a rare case where , after three movies , we 're left wanting more . '' A.O. Scott of The New York Times said of the film , `` `` War for the Planet of the Apes , '' directed by Matt Reeves , is the grimmest episode so far , and also the strongest , a superb example -- rare in this era of sloppily constructed , commercially hedged cinematic universes -- of clear thinking wedded to inventive technique in popular filmmaking , '' and lauded Andy Serkis 's performance in the film , stating that `` Andy Serkis 's performance as Caesar is one of the marvels of modern screen acting . '' Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars , and said that Serkis performed `` with a resonant power and depth of feeling that 's nearly Shakespearean . Oscar , get busy : Serkis deserves the gold , '' and went on to say that `` War for the Planet of the Apes -- No. 9 in the simian cinema canon -- is the best of the Apes films since the 1968 original . Eric Kohn of Indiewire gave the film a B+ rating , and praised Matt Reeves 's directing , saying `` It 's a given that an expensive 21st century sci - fi movie with talking animals , exploding tanks , and jarring machine guns would look and sound great , but Reeves applies these effects with such a measured strategy that they 're always working in service of a greater narrative agenda . '' Kohn went on to applaud the visuals , cinematography , and musical score , stating that `` The breathlessly paced montage of flying bullets and angry monkeys raining down on terrified men , aided by Michael Giacchino 's vibrant score , is a strong indicator of the next - level craftsmanship that distinguishes these movies from so many cacophonous Hollywood spectacles ; not only is the action easy to follow , but you care for the motion - captured characters at the center of it , while the humans cower in fear . '' Future ( edit ) In October 2016 , it was announced that a fourth Planet of the Apes film is already being planned .

Jump to : navigation , search Engraving of the poem presented at the New England Holocaust Memorial in Boston , Massachusetts `` First they came ... '' is a poem written by German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller ( 1892 -- 1984 ) . It is about the cowardice of German intellectuals following the Nazis ' rise to power and subsequent purging of their chosen targets , group after group . Many variations and adaptations in the spirit of the original have been published in the English language . It deals with themes of persecution , guilt and responsibility . Contents ( hide ) 1 The text 2 Author 3 Origin 4 Usages 5 See also 6 References 7 External links The text ( edit ) The best - known versions of the speech are the poems that began circulating by the 1950s . The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum quotes the following text as one of the many poetic versions of the speech : First they came for the Socialists , and I did not speak out -- Because I was not a Socialist . Then they came for the Trade Unionists , and I did not speak out -- Because I was not a Trade Unionist . Then they came for the Jews , and I did not speak out -- Because I was not a Jew . Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me . Niemöller created multiple versions of the text during his career , but evidence identified by professor Harold Marcuse at the University of California Santa Barbara indicates that the Holocaust Memorial Museum version is inaccurate because Niemöller frequently used the word `` communists '' and not `` socialists . '' The substitution of `` socialists '' for `` communists '' is an effect of anti-communism , and most ubiquitous in the version that has proliferated in the USA . According to Marcuse , `` Niemöller 's original argument was premised on naming groups he and his audience would instinctively not care about ... The omission of Communists in Washington , and of Jews in Germany , distorts that meaning and should be corrected . '' Niemöller 's earliest speeches , written in 1946 , list the Communists , incurable patients , Jews or Jehovah 's Witnesses , and civilians in countries occupied by Nazi Germany . In all versions , the impact is carefully built up , by going from the `` smallest , most distant '' group to the largest , Jewish , group , and then finally to himself as a by then outspoken critic of Nazism . Niemöller made the cardinal `` who cares about them '' clear in his speech for the Confessing Church in Frankfurt on 6 January 1946 , of which this is a partial translation : When Pastor Niemöller was put in a concentration camp we wrote the year 1937 ; when the concentration camp was opened we wrote the year 1933 , and the people who were put in the camps then were Communists . Who cared about them ? We knew it , it was printed in the newspapers . Who raised their voice , maybe the Confessing Church ? We thought : Communists , those opponents of religion , those enemies of Christians - `` should I be my brother 's keeper ? '' Then they got rid of the sick , the so - called incurables . - I remember a conversation I had with a person who claimed to be a Christian . He said : Perhaps it 's right , these incurably sick people just cost the state money , they are just a burden to themselves and to others . Is n't it best for all concerned if they are taken out of the middle ( of society ) ? -- Only then did the church as such take note . Then we started talking , until our voices were again silenced in public . Can we say , we are n't guilty / responsible ? The persecution of the Jews , the way we treated the occupied countries , or the things in Greece , in Poland , in Czechoslovakia or in Holland , that were written in the newspapers I believe , we Confessing - Church - Christians have every reason to say : mea culpa , mea culpa ! We can talk ourselves out of it with the excuse that it would have cost me my head if I had spoken out . This speech was translated and published in English in 1947 , but was later retracted when it was alleged that Niemöller was an early supporter of the Nazis . The `` sick , the so - called incurables '' were killed in the euthanasia programme `` Action T4 '' . A 1955 version of the speech , mentioned in an interview of a German professor quoting Niemöller , lists Communists , socialists , schools , Jews , the press , and the Church . An American version delivered by a congressman in 1968 includes the industrialists , who were not persecuted by the Nazis , and omits the Communists . In 1976 , Niemöller gave the following answer in response to an interview question asking about the origins of the poem . The Martin - Niemöller - Stiftung ( `` Martin Niemöller Foundation '' ) considers this the `` classical '' version of the speech : There were no minutes or copy of what I said , and it may be that I formulated it differently . But the idea was anyhow : The Communists , we still let that happen calmly ; and the trade unions , we also let that happen ; and we even let the Social Democrats happen . All of that was not our affair . The Church did not concern itself with politics at all at that time , and it should n't have anything do with them either . In the Confessing Church we did n't want to represent any political resistance per se , but we wanted to determine for the Church that that was not right , and that it should not become right in the Church , that 's why already in ' 33 , when we created the pastors ' emergency federation ( Pfarrernotbund ) , we put as the 4th point in the founding charter : If an offensive is made against ministers and they are simply ousted as ministers , because they are of Jewish lineage ( Judenstämmlinge ) or something like that , then we can only say as a Church : No . And that was then the 4th point in the obligation , and that was probably the first contra - anti-Semitic pronouncement coming from the Protestant Church . Niemöller at The Hague 's Grote of Sint - Jacobskerk in May 1952 Author ( edit ) Main article : Martin Niemöller Martin Niemöller was a German Lutheran pastor and theologian born in Lippstadt , Germany , in 1892 . Niemöller was an anti-Communist and supported Adolf Hitler 's rise to power at first . But when Hitler insisted on the supremacy of the state over religion , Niemöller became disillusioned . He became the leader of a group of German clergymen opposed to Hitler . In 1937 he was arrested and eventually confined in Sachsenhausen and Dachau . He was released in 1945 by the Allies . He continued his career in Germany as a clergyman and as a leading voice of penance and reconciliation for the German people after World War II . His statement , sometimes presented as a poem , is well - known , frequently quoted , and is a popular model for describing the dangers of political apathy . Origin ( edit ) The statement was published in a book by Milton Mayer , They Thought They Were Free ( 1955 ) , based on interviews he had conducted in Germany several years earlier . The quotation was circulated by civil rights activists and educators in the United States in the late 1950s . Some research traces the text to several speeches given by Niemöller in 1946 . Lt. Dennis Kelly reads an excerpt of Niemöller 's poem during a Holocaust Days of Remembrance Observance service in Pearl Harbor ; 27 April 2009 Nonetheless , the wording remains controversial , both in terms of its provenance , and the substance and order of the groups that are mentioned in its many versions . While Niemöller 's published 1946 speeches mention Communists , the incurably ill , Jews or Jehovah 's Witnesses ( depending on which speech ) , and people in occupied countries , the 1955 text , a paraphrase by a German professor in an interview , lists communists , socialists , `` the schools , the press , the Jews , and so on '' , and ends with `` the Church '' . Based on the explanation given by Niemöller himself in 1976 , this refers to the German Protestant ( ' Evangelische ' ) Church , and not to the German Catholic Church . However , as claimed by Richard John Neuhaus in the November 2001 issue of First Things , when `` asked in 1971 about the correct version of the quote , Niemöller said he was not quite sure when he had said the famous words but , if people insist upon citing them , he preferred a version that listed ' the Communists ' , ' the trade unionists ' , ' the Jews ' , and ' me ' . '' However , historian Harold Marcuse could not verify that interview . Rather , he found a 1976 interview in which Niemöller referred to a 1974 discussion with the general bishop of the Lutheran Church of Slovakia . Usages ( edit ) At the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington , D.C. , the quotation is on display in a variation that substitutes `` Socialists '' for `` Communists '' .

In 2005 , Sports Illustrated called it the top NFL rivalry of all time and `` one of the greatest in sports . '' ESPN ranked it the best rivalry in the NFL . The Sportster has ranked it the 17th biggest rivalry in the world . During the tenure of this rivalry , the two franchises have won 31 combined division titles and eight combined Super Bowls . They are the two wealthiest franchises in the NFL . The rivalry started in 1960 when the Cowboys joined the league as an expansion team . During that year they were in separate conferences , but played once during the season . In 1961 , Dallas was placed in the same division as the Redskins , and from that point on , they have played each other twice in every regular season .

He tried buying two teams , but the negotiations fell through . In 1958 , Murchison heard that George Preston Marshall , owner of the Washington Redskins , was eager to sell the team . Just as the sale was about to be finalized , Marshall called for a change in terms . Murchison was outraged and canceled the whole deal . Around this time , Marshall had a falling out with the Redskin band director , Barnee Breeskin . Breeskin had written the music to the Redskins fight song , now a staple at the stadium ; additionally , Marshall 's wife penned the lyrics to the song . Breeskin wanted revenge after the failed negotiations with Marshall . He approached Tom Webb , Murchison 's lawyer , and sold the rights for $2,500 . Murchison then decided to create his own team , with the support of NFL expansion committee chairman , George Halas . Halas decided to put the proposition of a Dallas franchise before the NFL owners , which needed to have unanimous approval in order to pass . The only owner against the proposal was George Preston Marshall . However , Marshall found out that Murchison owned the rights to Washington 's fight song , so a deal was finally struck . If Marshall showed his approval of the Dallas franchise , Murchison would return the song . The Cowboys were then founded and began playing in 1960 . To build the roster of an expansion team , Dallas was allowed to pick certain players from certain teams per League rules . In addition to selecting 3 players from the Redskins roster , the Cowboys traded their first round ( # 2 - Norm Snead ) and sixth round ( # 72 - Joe Krakoski ) draft choices in the 1961 NFL Draft to the Redskins in exchange for Pro Bowl quarterback Eddie LeBaron , convincing him to come out of retirement to become the franchise 's first starting quarterback . First few games ( edit ) Though both teams would become juggernauts in the National Football League , the beginning of the rivalry was not all that exciting . The first game took place in Griffith Stadium on October 9 , 1960 and was won by the Redskins . It was the only game they would win that year . The Cowboys would go winless that season . The Redskins would win two of the first four and tied the two others . Cowboy chicken Club ( edit ) In December 1961 , an unknown number of Cowboys fans snuck into D.C. Stadium , armed with bags of chicken feed . When Alaskan snow dogs were to drag Santa Claus onto the field during the halftime show , the pranksters would unleash dozens of hungry chickens onto the field -- 75 white , one black . The significance of the black chicken was to symbolize how Marshall was the only owner in the league who would not recruit an African - American football player ; Marshall stating , `` We 'll start signing Negroes when the Harlem Globetrotters start signing whites . '' The chickens fit into two large crates , which were smuggled into the stadium the morning of the game . The chickens and the smugglers went unspotted until halftime , when a stadium usher noticed a man guarding the crates and heard the chickens . Though the guard tried to bribe the official with $100 , he was quickly reported and arrested , and the chickens confiscated . As it turned out , the `` official '' was actually Redskins general manager Dick McCann . The following year and the night before the third Redskins - Cowboys match - up in less than a year , pranksters sneaked into Marshall 's hotel suite and dropped off a large turkey in the bathroom . When Marshall went into the bathroom , the turkey puffed up and gobbled at him , causing Marshall to flee his room . `` Chickens are nice '' , Marshall said , `` but a man should n't fool with a mad turkey . '' Just minutes before kickoff , while `` Hail to the Redskins '' blared throughout the stadiums , four banners reading `` CHICKENS '' -- one at each 50 - yard line and one in each end zone center -- were unfurled in the stadium 's upper decks . Two acrobats , hired by Cowboys fans and Chicken Club founders Bob Thompson and Irv Davidson ( along with the University of Maryland students with the banners ) rushed onto the field dressed in chicken costumes and began to throw colored eggs . One was apprehended by a guard , but the other proved to be too elusive . By this time , the band was playing the National Anthem , therefore unable to move . The lone chicken - acrobat reached into this bag and released a chicken , then returned to his egg - throwing . Running to a sideline , he then attempted to leave the stadium by jumping over a bench , but slipped . A group of security guards then apprehended him , but he was able to break free . He made it back to the 50 - yard line , turned a cartwheel , then ran and flopped onto the 30 - yard line . By this time , only aware that the National Anthem was over , the two teams rushed onto the field in the middle of the chaos . In the midst of the ruckus , the man made it off the field and into the stands . Although the real chicken was caught , the acrobat - chicken was never apprehended . The next day , while reporting the 38 - 10 Cowboys victory , the Dallas News scoring summary ended with , Attendance - 49,888 ( and one chicken ) . 1965 -- 1967 ( edit ) From 1965 through 1967 , the Redskins and Cowboys , led by Sonny Jurgensen and Don Meredith respectively , played four games against each other that produced a combined total of 222 points with only ten points of overall difference between the two teams . November 28 , 1965 , DC Stadium : The Cowboys quickly took a 21 - 0 lead on a pass play , a running play and a 60 - yard fumble recovery . Despite Jurgensen 's 26 - yard touchdown pass to Charley Taylor , the fans in the stands called for him to be benched in favor of second - string quarterback Dick Shiner . However , Jurgensen then drove the Redskins down field for a second touchdown to cut the Cowboys lead to 24 - 13 . They then scored a rushing touchdown to make it 24 - 20 . But just when the Redskins were gaining momentum , Meredith tossed a 53 - yard scoring touch to Frank Clarke . Jurgensen was then able to throw another touchdown pass to Bobby Mitchell to make it 31 - 27 . The Redskins got the ball back on their 20 - yard line with less than two minutes to go . After working his way down the field , Jurgensen passed to tight end Angelo Coia to give the Redskins their first lead , 34 - 31 , with about one minute to play . But Meredith was not done either . He drove the Cowboys to the Redskins 37 - yard line with seven seconds to go . Danny Villanueva was then brought in and attempted a tying field goal , but it was blocked by Redskins defensive back Lonnie Sanders . Final : Redskins , 34 -- Cowboys , 31 November 13 , 1966 , DC Stadium : In the second quarter with the score 7 - 6 Dallas , Meredith threw a 52 - yard touchdown to Bob Hayes , followed in the third quarter with a 95 - yard repeat , making the score 21 - 7 . Then Washington scored three consecutive times with Jurgensen 's 4 - yard pass to Jerry Smith and 78 - yard pass to Charley Taylor , followed by a Charlie Gogolak field goal , giving them the lead , 23 - 21 . Meredith then drove the Cowboys down field to set up a one - yard touchdown run by Dan Reeves . But the Redskins matched their score on a drive ending with Jurgensen 's 18 - yard scoring pass to Taylor , making it 30 - 28 . Meredith got the ball back with no timeouts and the Redskins playing deep prevent . Somehow , he was able to drive them to the Redskins 33 . The Redskins mounted a strong pass rush to push the Cowboys out of field goal range . But apparently it was too strong . Meredith was hit just as he scrambled out of bounds . The penalty put the Cowboys on the Redskins 12 for an easy Villanueva field goal . Final : Cowboys , 31 -- Redskins , 30 December 11 , 1966 , The Cotton Bowl : The Redskins took a 10 - 7 lead at the half after linebacker John Reger recovered a block punt and ran it in for a score . But Danny Villanueva then kicked a tying 26 - yard field goal for the Cowboys and Bob Hays caught a 23 - yard pass for the 17 - 10 lead . The Redskins tied it up on Bobby Mitchell 's 11 - yard reception from Jurgensen . The Cowboys regained the lead when Dan Reeves broke for a 67 - yard touchdown run , making it 24 - 17 . But the Redskins then drove the field and scored on Jurgensen 's 11 - yard pass to Jerry Smith , only to have the Cowboys regain the lead with a six - yard touchdown run by Don Perkins , making it 31 - 24 . Jurgensen was then able to hit Charlie Taylor with a 65 - yard touchdown pass that Taylor caught between two defenders , tying the game . After good defense , the Redskins got the ball back with two minutes to go . Starting at their 46 - yard line , Redskins running back A.D. Whitfield ran right for a 30 - yard gain that set up Charlie Gogolak 's winning field goal . Final : Redskins , 34 -- Cowboys , 31 October 8 , 1967 , DC Stadium : The Redskins led 14 - 10 with 70 seconds to go in the fourth quarter . The Cowboys took possession on their 29 - yard line . On fourth down with 23 seconds remaining , Meredith hit an open Dan Reeves who beat out linebacker Chris Hanburger to score , making it 17 - 14 . After the kick - off with seven seconds to go , Jurgensen pitched a long pass to Charley Taylor , but he was tackled at the Cowboys 20 - yard line as time ran out . Final : Cowboys , 17 -- Redskins , 14 Washington would win the rematch in Dallas that season , 27 - 20 , but the Cowboys closed out the decade with four straight wins over the Redskins . In the late 60 's the Redskins hired Vince Lombardi to try to stop ex-Giants coordinator Tom Landry . Lombardi 's 7 - 5 - 2 record with the Redskins was the team 's first winning season in 14 years , but he was still swept by the Cowboys . Lombardi 's untimely death in 1970 froze Redskins development for two seasons . 1970s ( edit ) 1972 ( edit ) The rivalry was in full - swing by 1971 , when Washington hired George Allen as head coach . During the 1972 season , Allen 's Redskins met Dallas three times en route to a date with the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl VII . This is how the season progressed . After a losing season in 1970 , the Redskins ' hired George Allen from the Los Angeles Rams . As the 1972 football season approached , preseason predictors were touting the Cowboys , who had defeated the Dolphins , 24 - 3 in the previous Super Bowl , to again win the NFC East . The sixth game of the season brought the Cowboys to Washington , D.C. Both teams came into the game with a 4 - 1 - 0 record . Sonny Jurgensen was Washington 's starting quarterback , with Billy Kilmer benched after a previous loss . Craig Morton was the Cowboys ' quarterback while the injured Roger Staubach watched from the sideline . Despite Washington 's home - field advantage , the Cowboys were favored by a touchdown . A field goal and a Morton touchdown pass gave Dallas a 10 - 0 lead at the end of the first quarter , which was extended to 13 - 0 in the second period . Jurgensen led a Washington drive that climaxed with a pass to Larry Brown for a touchdown , but at the half the Redskins trailed by six points . Another seven points were added to the lead in the third quarter when Walt Garrison scored a touchdown . But then , Larry Brown broke a run for 34 yards and a touchdown to bring the score to 20 - 14 . Curt Knight kicked a 42 - yard field goal to make it 20 - 17 . Charley Harraway ran for 13 yards to make the score 24 - 20 , Redskins on top . During this offensive scoring period , the Over-the - Hill Gang defense shut down the Cowboys . At the end , Washington had defeated the Cowboys and was in possession of first place in the NFC East . Now with two games remaining , Washington was 11 - 1 and had clinched the NFC East title . An ensuing loss to the Cowboys ( 34 - 24 ) was meaningless . It was the first time since the NFL went to a divisional format in 1967 that the Cowboys had not won their division . The playoffs in 1972 pitted Washington against the Green Bay Packers . The final score was Washington 16 , Green Bay 3 . The victory sent the Redskins to the NFC Championship Game against the Cowboys who entered the playoffs as a wild - card entry . The Cowboys , who had been runner - up to the Redskins in the regular season defeated the NFC West champions , the San Francisco 49ers , 30 - 28 . The game was played in Washington . Staubach was back for the Cowboys , and Dallas fans were thrilled to have him . But Billy Kilmer for the Redskins was the better quarterback that day . After a field goal got the scoring started , Kilmer connected with Charley Taylor on a 15 - yard touchdown pass and Washington had a 10 - 3 lead at halftime . In the fourth quarter , Kilmer again went to Taylor , this time for a 45 - yard touchdown . Knight added three more field goals that period and the Over-the - Hill Gang defense allowed only a second - quarter field goal . The final score was Washington 26 , Dallas 3 . 1973 Redskins 14 , Cowboys 7 ( edit ) Roger Staubach had won back the quarterback job after missing most of the 1972 season with a shoulder injury , but Tom Landry pulled him in the third quarter when he missed an important signal and was sacked by the Redskins defense . Dallas led 7 - 0 when Staubach was replaced by Craig Morton . Late in the fourth quarter , the game was tied 7 - 7 when Redskins defender Brig Owens picked off Morton 's errant pass and raced 26 yards to score a touchdown . The Cowboys threatened in the last seconds to tie the game , but Ken Houston tackled Walt Garrison on the one - yard line as time ran out , preserving the Redskins win . 1974 Thanksgiving day game ( edit ) On November 28 , 1974 , the Redskins were 8 - 3 and ready to secure a playoff berth with a win against the Cowboys ( 6 - 5 ) in a nationally televised game in Dallas . With less than ten minutes to go in the third quarter , Washington was leading 16 - 3 , when Redskins linebacker Dave Robinson knocked Roger Staubach out of the game . Rookie Clint Longley led the Cowboys to a last - minute come - from - behind victory , throwing a 50 - yard touchdown pass to Drew Pearson with 28 seconds left . The final score was Cowboys 24 , Redskins 23 . The Redskins were stunned . `` I do n't have very much to say '' , coach George Allen said when it was over . `` It was probably the toughest loss we ever had . '' 1979 season - ending game ( edit ) December 16 , 1979 : The NFC East Division Championship and home field advantage on the line for both teams . This set the stage for the regular season finale against Washington ; the winner would capture the NFC East title while the loser missed the playoffs . In the game , Texas Stadium fans were treated to one of Staubach 's greatest comebacks . The Cowboys trailed 17 - 0 , but then scored three touchdowns to take the lead . Led by running back John Riggins , the Redskins came back to build a 34 - 21 lead , but the Cowboys scored 2 touchdowns in the final five minutes -- including a Staubach touchdown pass to Tony Hill with less than a minute remaining -- for an amazing 35 - 34 victory . In the week leading up to the game , Cowboys ' defensive end Harvey Martin received a funeral wreath , supposedly sent by the Redskins . He kept it in his locker all week for motivation and after the win , he raced into Washington 's locker room , opened the door and heaved it into the room , breaking up a team prayer . Adding insult to injury , the Chicago Bears defeated the St Louis Cardinals 42 - 6 , the Redskins lost the tie breaker to the Bears for the last Wild Card spot . 1980s ( edit ) Jan. 22 , 1983 , NFC Championship Game at RFK Stadium , the Redskins defeated the Cowboys to earn a trip to Super Bowl XVII . Prior to the game the stadium physically shook as a capacity crowd of 54,000 chanted `` We Want Dallas ! '' The game is best remembered for the quarterback hit by Redskins defensive end Dexter Manley that sent Cowboys ' quarterback Danny White into the locker room shortly before halftime knocking him out for the rest of the game , and defensive tackle Darryl Grant 's interception return for a 10 - yard touchdown of a Gary Hogeboom pass tipped by Manley to score the decisive points . John Riggins rushed for 140 yards and two touchdowns on 36 carries as the Redskins defeated the Cowboys 31 - 17 . The Redskins went on to defeat Miami for their first Super Bowl championship . Before a sold - out 1983 season opener on Monday Night Football , the Redskins were leading the visiting Cowboys 23 -- 3 going into halftime . Danny White 's second half comeback erased the lead and the Cowboys took an improbable 31 -- 30 victory . The second 1983 regular season meeting between the Redskins and Cowboys at Texas Stadium was more remembered for an infamous play by the Cowboys than it was for the game 's outcome . On a 4th down and 1 play , Danny White was attempting to draw the Redskins offside by using hard counts , thereby giving the Cowboys a first down and keeping their drive going . But the Redskins ' defense never moved and Danny White ran a play that resulted in a loss of yards , turning the ball over to the Redskins on downs . During the replay , coach Tom Landry was simultaneously shown yelling , `` No , Danny , no ! '' from the sidelines ( undoubtedly wanting White to call a time out to punt the ball ) . After the play , Landry was shown shaking his head in disgust . The Redskins went on to win , 31 - 10 . On December 9 , 1984 , down 21 - 6 at halftime , the Redskins scored 17 unanswered points on turnovers to take a 23 - 21 lead going into the fourth quarter . They came back to defeat the Cowboys , 30 - 28 . Coupled with the 34 - 14 win earlier in the year , the Redskins enjoyed their first season sweep of the Cowboys in series history . On September 9 , 1985 , the season opener of Monday Night Football was played at Texas Stadium . The Cowboys secondary , nicknamed `` Thurman 's Thieves '' , intercepted Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann five times . Redskins coach Joe Gibbs would pull Theismann from the game in the 4th Quarter due to his poor performance . To rub salt in the wound , fans at Texas Stadium began singing `` Happy Birthday '' to Theismann as he sat on the bench staring straight ahead ( the game took place on Theismann 's birthday ) . The Cowboys went on to win in a blowout , 44 - 14 . 1987 - Scab Game : No team in the NFL had more players cross the picket line during the 1987 strike than the Cowboys , who were 2 -- 0 with their `` scab '' players entering a game with the Redskins on Monday Night Football . Washington had also won their two games during the strike , but without any veterans . For this game the Cowboys had Danny White , Randy White , Tony Dorsett , Ed Jones among other veterans , but were upset by the replacement Redskins players , 13 - 7 , in a game former Washington head coach Joe Gibbs called `` one of my greatest experiences and wins . '' The Redskins finished 3 -- 0 with the replacements , the strike ending the following week . The Redskins would go on to win Super Bowl XXII later that season . In 2000 Warner Bros. made a movie loosely based on the 1987 Redskins , The Replacements . On December 11 , 1988 , the Cowboys upset the reigning Super Bowl champion Redskins at RFK stadium , 24 - 17 , ending any shot the Redskins had of making the playoffs . Rookie and eventual hall of fame wide receiver , Michael Irvin was the big star of the game with three touchdown catches . This game would prove to be the final victory for legendary Dallas Cowboys head coach Tom Landry . The Cowboys lone victory of their woeful 1 - 15 season in 1989 would come on November 5 against the Redskins at RFK Stadium , 13 -- 3 . Ultimately this loss coupled with a last second loss to the Philadelphia Eagles where Gerald Riggs fumbled the football at the Eagles ' goal line with less than a minute remaining in the game prevented the 10 -- 6 Redskins from making the playoffs for the second straight year . The Redskins led the Eagles 37 - 35 at the time when Riggs was stripped and the football was returned 96 yards to the Redskins ' 4 - yard line . The Eagles scored a touchdown and won the football game 42 - 37 . 1990s ( edit ) On November 24 , 1991 , the 6 -- 5 Cowboys handed the then unbeaten 11 -- 0 Redskins their first defeat and their only defeat at home that season , 24 -- 21 . Despite the loss the Redskins would finish 14 -- 2 and go on to win the Super Bowl XXVI . The Cowboys , motivated by the victory , would reel off a 6 - game win streak , finishing 11 -- 5 ; Cowboys owner Jerry Jones would later tell The Washington Post that he believed this victory was a key turning point in the Cowboys ' transformation into the dominant team they would become for much of the decade . On September 7 , 1992 , in front a nationally televised Monday night audience , the Cowboys , led by Emmitt Smith 's 140 yards rushing , handed the defending Super Bowl champion Redskins an embarrassing 23 -- 10 loss at Texas Stadium in their first game of the season . On December 13 , 1992 , the defending Super Bowl champion Redskins stunned the eventual Super Bowl champion Cowboys 20 -- 17 in Washington thanks to Safety Danny Copeland 's fourth quarter recovery of a Troy Aikman / Emmitt Smith fumble in the end zone . This game would prove to be Hall of Fame Head Coach Joe Gibbs ' final victory at RFK Stadium . On September 6 , 1993 , in front of a nationally televised Monday night audience , the Redskins gained revenge for their opening week Monday night loss of a year before by defeating the defending Super Bowl champion Cowboys 35 -- 16 at RFK to earn Richie Petitbon his first victory in his first game as a head coach . On the day after Christmas , 1993 , the Cowboys would gain revenge for their opening week loss by defeating the Redskins 38 -- 3 at Texas Stadium . The Cowboys ' 35 point margin of victory is the largest margin of victory by either team in the rivalry 's history . The Cowboys would eventually close out the season with their second straight Super Bowl championship while the Redskins would finish 4 -- 12 , their worst regular season record since 1963 , the Bill McPeak era . On December 22 , 1996 , the Redskins defeated the Cowboys 37 -- 10 in the final game played at RFK Stadium , the Redskins home for the last 36 years . The Cowboys rested their starters during this game . In the first game of the 1999 season , the Redskins opened a 35 -- 14 lead . Then Dallas scored three touchdowns during the final 11 minutes of regulation time . The Redskins botched a last - second field goal attempt and the game went to overtime . A play - action pass four minutes into overtime to Raghib Ismail fooled Redskins safety Matt Stevens , and won the game for the visiting Cowboys . This game took place during the middle of a 10 - game win streak in the series by the Cowboys , the longest by either team during the tenure of this rivalry . 2000s ( edit ) In Week 6 of the 2001 season , the two teams met in a Monday Night Football matchup . What made that particular game unique was that both teams entered the game 0 - 4 , a MNF first . Dallas won 9 - 7 , and won the rematch as well . In the 2002 regular season finale , Washington finally ended an 11 - game losing streak to the Cowboys , defeating them 20 - 14 . The win allowed Washington to finish 7 - 9 , while Dallas finished 5 - 11 for the third straight year . Cowboys coach Dave Campo was fired following the 2002 season . Week 2 of the 2005 season , the Redskins were at Dallas where Emmitt Smith , Troy Aikman , and Michael Irvin were inducted into the Cowboys ' `` Ring of Honor '' with a pre-game and halftime ceremony . Throughout a poorly played game , Dallas kept the Redskins out of the endzone , and led 13 -- 0 with less than 4 minutes left . It was at that point that the Redskins , led by quarterback Mark Brunell , took the lead thanks to two long touchdown passes to Santana Moss to win the game . Week 15 of the 2005 season saw the Redskins ' largest margin of victory against the Cowboys in a 35 - 7 blowout . The Cowboys lone touchdown came in the fourth quarter after Washington was already ahead 35 - 0 . The victory gave Washington its first sweep against Dallas since the 1995 season . Dallas eventually finished 9 - 7 , while Washington won its last two games to secure the final NFC wildcard playoff berth . In Week 9 of the 2006 season , during the fourth quarter , the game was tied 19 -- 19 ( due in part to a missed two - point conversion by the Cowboys ) . With 31 seconds to go , the Redskins ' recently acquired kicker , Nick Novak , missed a 49 - yard field goal wide right . The Cowboys then worked their way up the field to set up Mike Vanderjagt , the most accurate kicker in NFL history , for a 35 - yard field goal with only seconds left . However , the kick was blocked by Troy Vincent , a safety who had been picked up by the Redskins off waivers earlier that week . The ball was scooped up by the Redskins ' free safety , Sean Taylor , who ran it back to the Cowboys ' 44 - yard line , where the Cowboys ' offensive lineman Kyle Kosier grabbed him by his facemask in an attempt to tackle him . The game would have gone into overtime had it not been for Kosier 's defensive penalty , which added fifteen yards to the end of the return ( by rule an NFL game can not end on a defensive penalty ) . Novak set up for a 47 - yard field goal with no time left on the clock . Despite the recent missed field goal , Novak was able to make this field goal to give the Redskins a victory . On November 18 , 2007 , the Cowboys beat the Redskins 28 -- 23 with Terrell Owens gaining 173 yards on eight catches and four touchdowns . In the final game of that same season with the Cowboys already owning the NFC # 1 seed , rested several key players due to injury including Owens , and limited Tony Romo to only one series into the second half in order to prevent possible injury before the playoffs . The Redskins defeated the Cowboys 27 -- 6 at FedExField , earning Washington the NFC 's final playoff spot . On September 28 , 2008 , the Redskins beat the Cowboys 26 -- 24 in the final Redskins / Cowboys game at Texas Stadium . On November 16 , 2008 , the Cowboys returned the favor of the 2005 Week 2 game defeat . Darrell Green and Art Monk were honored before the game for their recent induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame . In a game that was highly touted for the return of Tony Romo , the Cowboys defense held the Redskins to ten points while the Cowboys scored 14 . December 27 , 2009 , the Cowboys shutout the Redskins 17 - 0 . This marked the third time the Cowboys have blanked the Redskins . Washington has never shutout Dallas . 2010s ( edit ) September 12 , 2010 , the Redskins beat the Cowboys . One of the game 's highlights was a Fumble return for a TD for the Redskins as time expired in the first half . Late in the fourth quarter , Tony Romo led the team down the field . With three seconds on the clock and the score 13 - 7 , Romo made a touchdown pass to wide receiver Roy Williams that would 've at least tied the game , depending on the PAT . However , the touchdown was negated due to a holding call against Alex Barron as time expired , and Washington held on to win . December 19 , 2010 , marked the 100th meeting between the two clubs . The Cowboys built a 20 - 7 lead by halftime . By the end of the third quarter the Cowboys led 30 - 14 . The Redskins started quarterback Rex Grossman who filled in for the recently benched Donovan McNabb and he brought the Redskins back to an even 30 - 30 with minutes left to play . Cowboys kicker David Buehler kicked a 39 - yard field goal to put Dallas up 33 - 30 with 50 seconds to play . Rex Grossman then drove the Redskins down the field only to be intercepted by cornerback Terrence Newman to end the game . Dallas ' Jason Witten caught 10 passes for 140 yards and a touchdown , and became only the fourth tight end in NFL history with 600 career catches . He did it the fastest , needing only 125 games . September 26 , 2011 , prior to the game , the Redskins gathered in the middle of the field at Cowboys Stadium where several players were seen to be `` stomping on the Star . '' London Fletcher was also overheard proclaiming to his team , `` Why are we standing on this star ? Cuz this is our house . '' Tony Romo overcame 4 botched snaps and several receivers running wrong routes to put the Cowboys within scoring position for the final field goal to ultimately win the game . November 22 , 2012 , In quarterback Robert Griffin III 's first start against the Cowboys , the Redskins defeated the Cowboys 38 - 31 at Cowboys Stadium . After the Redskins built a 28 - 3 lead , Dallas quarterback Tony Romo led the Cowboys to within seven but it proved too little too late as the Redskins held on to win . This marked the first time the Redskins had won at Cowboys Stadium as well as the first time Washington had defeated the Cowboys on Thanksgiving , previously 0 - 5 to their archrival on Thanksgiving Day . Robert Griffin III completed 19 of 27 passes for 304 yards and had 4 touchdown passes and 1 interception on his way to winning the Galloping Gobbler Award issued to the player deemed to have had the best performance in the game . Alfred Morris also had 113 yards rushing on 24 carries and 1 touchdown while the Redskins defense intercepted two passes from Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and sacked him a total of three times . December 30 , 2012 -- In the last game of the 2012 NFL season the Redskins met the Cowboys in a prime time game on NBC Sunday Night Football at Fed Ex Field to decide the winner of the NFC East division . Three interceptions by Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo doomed the Cowboys . The Redskins defense , led by London Fletcher 's eleven total tackles , two sacks , and one pass defensed , confused and rattled Romo all game long . The Redskins defense had two sacks and three interceptions in the game with the final one being the most costly , with Dallas trailing 21 - 18 late in the fourth quarter from the Cowboys own 29 - yard line . Romo threw a pass to the flat intended for Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray which was intercepted by Redskins outside linebacker Rob Jackson . The Redskins offensive line only gave up one sack and held Cowboys defensive stalwart DeMarcus Ware , who was playing with a hurt shoulder and elbow , to zero sacks and just one assisted tackle . Redskins rookie running back Alfred Morris rushed for 200 yards and three touchdowns on 33 carries , the last coming with one minute left , effectively putting the game out of reach ( the referee initially called a fumble and Cowboys recovery , but reversed his ruling once convinced by the side judge that , as replays would clearly show , Morris had crossed the goal line before losing the ball ) . The 28 - 18 win gave the Redskins their first playoff appearance since 2007 and their first NFC East title since 1999 while also preventing the Cowboys from making the playoffs . December 22 , 2013 -- The Cowboys were up 14 - 6 at halftime but fumble recovery by the Redskins and a 3rd quarter interception by Romo along with a field goal led to the Redskins being up 23 - 14 at the start of the 4th quarter . The Cowboys converted on a 4th and 6 Romo pass to Cole Beasley to eventually give them a field goal by Dan Bailey . With Dallas trailing 23 - 17 and Tony Romo hobbling from a severe back injury that would ultimately end his season , the Cowboys would have one last drive to win this game . With 3 : 39 left , Romo connected with rookie Terrance Williams for a 51 - yard pass to deep into Redskins territory . Another pass from Romo to Dez Bryant got them into the Red Zone . With less than 90 seconds remaining in regulation and on a 4th and goal play from the 12 yard line , Romo threw a 10 - yard pass to DeMarco Murray to score a touchdown and make the game 24 - 23 . Kirk Cousins , starting for a shutdown Robert Griffin III , got the ball back with 1 : 04 left to go but could n't get a first down after 4 attempts which clinched the game for the Cowboys . October 27 , 2014 -- The Cowboys came into the Monday Night Football showdown with the Redskins on a six - game winning streak . Both teams had a shaky first half , with both teams combining for 3 turnovers in the half . Despite 2 fumbles , the Cowboys took a 7 - 3 lead into halftime . After halftime , the Redskins drove down the field and scored on a 5 - yd run by Alfred Morris to make it 10 - 7 . When Tony Romo left the game in the third quarter with a back injury , Brandon Weeden came in to lead the Cowboys to a field goal by Dan Bailey . The Redskins then scored on a Colt McCoy touchdown run with 13 : 38 left in the 4th to retake the lead 17 - 10 . Dallas would score on the next possession in the game as Weeden threw a 25 - yard touchdown pass to Jason Witten to make the score 17 - 17 with 9 : 27 left in the game . Romo would then make his return to the game in the last possession in the 4th but both teams failed to score again in regulation . The Redskins would score first in overtime with a Kai Forbath 41 - yd field goal to make it 20 - 17 . The Cowboys would be stopped on four down in their overtime drive to secure a Redskins victory . December 28 , 2014 -- The Cowboys , now the NFC East champions , ran over the Redskins in the last game of the season 44 - 17 . The Redskins only lead of the game came after a DeSean Jackson 69 - yard touchdown catch from Robert Griffin III to make it 7 - 3 . Tony Romo would then throw 2 touchdown passes to Dez Bryant to make it 17 - 7 . The Redskins would cut a 27 - 7 lead down to 27 - 17 but the Cowboys would score 17 straight points in the last 3 : 31 to conclude a 12 - 4 season and split the season series with the Redskins . December 7 , 2015 -- In their 17th meeting all - time on Monday Night Football , the Redskins and Cowboys both entered with losing records , but were still very much alive in the weak NFC East . Both teams traded field goals throughout the majority of the game with it being tied 9 - 9 with 1 : 30 left . On a punt return , Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson fumbled the ball , which was recovered by Dallas . This led to the Cowboys only touchdown when Darren McFadden ran it in from six yards to make it 16 - 9 with 1 : 14 left . The Redskins quickly recovered as Jackson would catch a 28 - yard TD pass from QB Kirk Cousins with 44 seconds left to tie it at 16 - 16 . Dallas would drive down the field however , and Dan Bailey would hit a 54 - yard FG to win the game 19 - 16 for Dallas . September 18 , 2016 -- Both teams came into their week 2 match - up having lost their season openers ( the Cowboys losing by 1 to the Giants and the Redskins blown out by the Steelers ) . Dallas started hot , getting a field goal and a TD run by rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott on their first two possessions to take a 10 - 0 lead into the 2nd quarter . The Redskins responded with a Matt Jones touchdown to make it 10 - 7 , and both teams traded field goals to make it 13 - 10 at halftime . The Redskins came out hot in the third quarter , with Kirk Cousins throwing an 11 - yard touchdown to Jamison Crowder . Dallas rookie QB Dak Prescott , who like Elliott was playing in his first game in the rivalry , responded with a 6 - yard touchdown run to help Dallas retake the lead at 20 - 17 . The Redskins got two field goals to make it 23 - 20 and were about to make it a potential two - score game in the fourth quarter , but Cousins threw a crucial interception in the endzone . That proved costly as Alfred Morris , the former Redskin , scored a 4 - yard touchdown to make the score 27 - 23 Dallas , and the Redskins failed to score on their final two possessions . November 24 , 2016 -- This would be the 8th time the Cowboys and Redskins have faced off for the annual Thanksgiving Day event hosted in Dallas . The Redskins offense led by Kirk Cousins with 449 yards ( 8 yards shy of a career best ) would light up the air attack against a porous Dallas secondary . However , failing to convert key drives into touchdowns , missing two field goals , a questionable onside kick attempt , and the inability to stop the Dallas Cowboys 4th ranked offense in the 4th quarter would be too much for the Redskins to overcome . The Cowboys rolled to a then franchise best 10th win in a row with an easy 31 - 26 victory . The Cowboys -- Redskins rivalry was rekindled between Josh Norman and Dez Bryant as both clashed several times during the game and both coaches were warned by referees about their antics . Immediately after the game , both players would go to helmet to helmet while exchanging shoves and taunts . During an interview Dez Bryant added fuel to fire by saying , `` Washington needs to get their money back ... I honestly feel like the guy is extremely soft . '' 2016 would also be the 18th time the Cowboys have swept the two - game regular season series . Washington has swept the Cowboys only 6 times . October 29 , 2017 -- The Redskins and Cowboys entered their first matchup in 2017 both at 3 - 3 and behind the Eagles by 3.5 games in the division . In a rainy , washout game , the Cowboys would win 33 - 19 for their third straight win of the season . Ezekiel Elliot fumbled on the first play of the game , which led to a Redskins field goal and 3 - 0 lead . The Cowboys answered with an Elliot touchdown to take a 7 - 3 lead . The Redskins came back with 10 unanswered points to take a 13 - 7 lead , but momentum shifted when the Cowboys blocked a Nick Rose FG attempt and returned it inside the Redskins 10 yard line . The Cowboys then scored 19 unanswered points to take a 26 - 13 lead late in the fourth , with Elliot 's second TD coming right after the blocked FG . The Redskins would score a touchdown yet miss an extra point to make the score to 26 - 19 and give them a chance , but Kirk Cousins had yet another untimely turnover as he threw an Interception that was returned for a touchdown with 21 seconds left to seal the Cowboys victory . With the win , the Cowboys secured their 10th victory against the Redskins this decade , and have now won at least 10 games against the Redskins in every decade of this rivalry November 30 , 2017 - Former Redskin running back , Alfred Morris , rumbled for 127 yards while subbing for the suspended 2016 rushing champion Ezekiel Elliot . Redskin hopes were all but doomed after Kirk Cousins ' pension for turnovers continued with two interceptions and a lost fumble on the day . This win for the Cowboys marked the 19th time the Cowboys have swept the two - game regular season series , compared to only six by the Washington franchise . Rivalry off the field ( edit ) On December 19 , 2005 , Dallas Mavericks guard Darrell Armstrong was fined $1,000 for grabbing a microphone before a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the American Airlines Center and yelling `` How ' bout those Redskins ! '' Only a few hours prior , the Cowboys had been routed by the Redskins 35 - 7 , in the most lopsided loss of Bill Parcells 's coaching career . Armstrong was raised in North Carolina as a Redskins fan . Dallas coach Tom Landry appeared in a 1980s American Express TV commercial in which he visits an Old West - style saloon and makes the statement , `` You never know when you 'll be surrounded by Redskins '' . Several large men dressed in Redskins uniforms encircled Landry , who addressed them with , `` Howdy ! '' After the credit card sales pitch was read , the ad returned to the scene where Landry , as he recites the company 's slogan , `` Do n't leave home without it '' , leaves the saloon and the Redskins follow him out . The saloon doors knock the Redskins backwards as they swing shut . After Tom Landry was fired as Cowboys coach by new Cowboys owner Jerry Jones in 1989 , Landry appeared in another TV commercial for Choice Hotels , in which he states that he feels so great being out of football that he might take up a new career . Landry then pulls out a guitar and sings the Waylon Jennings / Willie Nelson classic , `` Mamas , do n't let your babies grow up to be '' , and after a pause , sings , `` Redskins ! '' In the commercial 's closing tag , Landry quips , `` You did n't think I would say ' Cowboys ' , did ya ? '' In 2017 , the animosity between Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant and Redskins cornerback Josh Norman was part of an ad series for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 phone . In the first ad , Norman is asked by reporters about a picture he posts on Twitter that shows Bryant 's hands replaced with sticks of butter and a picture in which he says `` I 'm Better Than Dez Bryant . '' Dez Bryant responded with his own commercial , where he says he 's taking the high road when talking about Norman but sdraws Norman on a snail using the phone , indicating he 's slow , and another drawing of the Redskins cornerback as a blanket , meaning Norman ca n't cover him .

Novice wizard Lucy Heartfilia runs away from home to join Fairy Tail , a guild famous for its members ' overly destructive antics . She is invited into the guild by Natsu Dragneel , a dragon slayer wizard who travels the kingdom of Fiore in search of his missing foster father , the dragon Igneel . Lucy forms a team with Natsu and his cat - like companion Happy , which is later joined by ice wizard Gray Fullbuster , armored wizard Erza Scarlet , and dragon slayer Wendy Marvell . The team embark on numerous guild missions together , which include subjugating criminals , illegal dark guilds , and ancient Etherious demons created by the immortal dark wizard Zeref . Following several adventures , Natsu and his companions encounter Zeref living in isolation on the guild 's sacred ground of Sirius Island . A battle over Zeref ensues between Fairy Tail and the dark guild Grimoire Heart , which attracts the attention of the evil black dragon Acnologia . The Fairy Tail wizards survive Acnologia 's assault when the spirit of their guild 's founder , Mavis Vermillion , casts the defensive Fairy Sphere spell that places them into seven years of suspended animation . Shortly after the missing wizards return , Fairy Tail participates in the Grand Magic Games , a tournament held to determine the strongest guild in Fiore . In doing so , they prevent an unwitting government conspiracy to ravage the kingdom with dragons brought from the past through Eclipse , Zeref 's time travel gate . After observing these events , Zeref decides to eradicate humanity for their continuing conflicts . Later , Fairy Tail wages war against Tartaros , a dark guild of Etherious that aim to unseal a book believed to contain E.N.D. , Zeref 's ultimate demon . Acnologia returns to annihilate both guilds , prompting Igneel -- revealed to have sealed himself within Natsu -- to emerge and battle Acnologia . However , Acnologia kills Igneel before a helpless Natsu , who departs on a year - long training journey to avenge Igneel . Natsu returns to discover that Fairy Tail 's master , Makarov Dreyar , has been staving off an invasion by the Alvarez Empire , which Zeref governs . Zeref and his forces assault Fiore , intending to acquire Mavis ' physical body preserved beneath Fairy Tail 's guildhall , which houses a wellspring of infinite magic power known as Fairy Heart . During the battle , Zeref reveals Natsu 's origins as his younger brother , as well as the true incarnation of E.N.D. , whom Zeref resurrected as a demon with the intention of being killed by him . When Natsu fails to do so , Zeref extracts Fairy Heart from Mavis to relocate himself to a new timeline where he may prevent the atrocities he and Acnologia have caused , destroying the present timeline in the process . Natsu incapacitates Zeref , and Lucy rewrites the book of E.N.D. to make Natsu fully human . Mavis , who is revealed to be Zeref 's estranged lover who shares his curse of immortality , is then able to lift their curse by reciprocating his love , allowing both to die . Meanwhile , Fairy Tail and their allies attempt to imprison Acnologia within a space - time rift discovered by Lucy 's ancestor , Anna Heartfilia . Acnologia is instead empowered by the rift 's properties and escapes , while his disembodied soul traps all of the present dragon slayers in the rift to maintain his new , immeasurable power . Using the accumulative magic of the other dragon slayers , Natsu destroys Acnologia after Lucy and the other wizards immobilize the dragon 's body within Fairy Sphere , freeing the dragon slayers from captivity . In the following year , Lucy publishes an award - winning novel based on her experiences at the guild ; the award ceremony is attended by two strangers resembling Mavis and Zeref , who fall in love . Afterwards , Natsu and his team depart on a century - old guild mission , continuing their ongoing adventures together . Production ( edit ) After finishing his previous work , Rave Master , Hiro Mashima found the story sentimental and sad at the same time , so he wanted the storyline of Fairy Tail to have a `` lot of fun ( for everyone ) '' . His inspiration for the series was simply sitting in bars and partying with his friends , the community aspect . Having always loved magicians and wizards , he imagined what it would be like if he and his friends were magicians . But it is also about young people finding their calling , such as a job . He stated that while he tries to consider both his own interests and the fans ' on what will happen next in Fairy Tail , the fans ' take precedence . Mashima described his weekly schedule for creating individual chapters of Fairy Tail in 2008 . Script and storyboards are written on Monday , rough sketches the following day , and drawing and inking are done Wednesday through Friday . At the time the weekends were for Monster Hunter Orage , a monthly series Mashima was writing at the same time as Fairy Tail . He usually thinks up new chapters while working on the current ones . Mashima had six assistants in 2008 that worked in an 8,000 sq. feet area with seven desks , as well as a sofa and TV for video games . In 2011 , he stated that he worked six days a week , for 17 hours a day . For the characters of the series , Mashima drew upon people he has known in his life . In establishing the father - son relationship between Natsu and Igneel , Mashima cited his father 's death when he was a child as an influence . He based Natsu 's motion sickness on one of his friends , who gets sick when taking taxis together . When naming the character , the author thought western fantasy names would be unfamiliar to Japanese audiences , so he went with the Japanese name for summer ; Natsu . Mashima based the humorous aspects of the series on his daily life and jokes his assistants would make .

Reception ( edit ) Manga ( edit ) As of February 2017 , the Fairy Tail manga had 60 million collected volumes in circulation . According to Oricon , Fairy Tail was the eighth best - selling manga series in Japan for 2009 , fourth best in 2010 and 2011 , fifth best of 2012 , dropped to ninth in 2013 , to 17th in 2014 , and was 15th in 2015 . The fifth volume of Fairy Tail was ranked seventh in a list of the top ten manga , and the series once again placed seventh after the release of the sixth volume . About.com 's Deb Aoki listed Fairy Tail as the Best New Shōnen Manga of 2008 . It also won the 2009 Kodansha Manga Award for shōnen manga . At the 2009 Industry Awards for the Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation , the organizers of Anime Expo , Fairy Tail was named Best Comedy Manga . Volume 9 of the series was nominated in the Youth Selection category at the 2010 Angoulême International Comics Festival . Reviewing the first volume , Carl Kimlinger of Anime News Network felt Fairy Tail followed standard shōnen action manga tropes , writing `` the mix of goofy humor , face - crushing action , and teary - eyed sap is so calculated as to be mechanical . '' Carlo Santos , also of Anime News Network , agreed in his review of volume three ; having positive views towards the art , particularly the action scenes , but citing a lack of story and character development . By volume 12 Santos suggested that Mashima 's true talent lies in `` taking the most standard , predictable aspects of the genre and somehow still weaving it into a fun , fist - pumping adventure . '' Kimlinger , his colleague Rebecca Silverman , and A.E. Sparrow of IGN all felt Mashima 's artwork had strong similarities to Eiichiro Oda 's in One Piece . While Sparrow used the comparison as a compliment and said it had enough unique qualities of its own , Kimlinger went so far as to say it makes it difficult to appreciate Mashima 's `` undeniable technical skill . '' Anime ( edit ) The anime has also received a positive response from critics and viewers alike . In Southeast Asia , Fairy Tail won Animax Asia 's `` Anime of the Year '' award in 2010 . In 2012 , the anime series won the `` Meilleur Anime Japonais '' ( best Japanese anime ) award and the best French dubbing award at the 19th Anime & Manga Grand Prix in Paris , France . In reviewing the first Funimation Entertainment DVD volumes , Carlo Santos of Anime News Network praised the visuals , characters , and English voice acting , as well as the supporting characters for its comedic approach . However , Santos criticized both the anime 's background music and CGI animation . In his review of the second volume , Santos also praised the development of `` a more substantial storyline , '' but also criticized the inconsistent animation and original material not present in the manga . In his review of the third volume , Santos praised the improvements of the story and animation , and said that the volume `` finally shows the ( anime ) series living up to its potential . '' In his reviews of the fourth and sixth volumes , however , Santos praised the storyline 's formulaic pattern , though saying that `` unexpected wrinkles in the story ( ... ) keep the action from getting too stale , '' but calling the outcomes `` predictable '' .

But madôshi 's meaning is similar to certain Japanese words that have been borrowed by the English language , such as judo ( the soft way ) and kendo ( the way of the sword ) . Madô is the way of magic , and madôshi are those who follow the way of magic .

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( June 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The St. Louis Cardinals Radio Network is a United States radio network that broadcasts St. Louis Cardinals baseball . The network consists of 111 stations ( 52 AM , 59 FM ) and six FM translators in nine states ( four in the Midwest and five in the South ) . Its flagship station is KMOX in St. Louis . Due to an earlier deal with KTRS / 550 , it is still a partial owner of that station although Cardinals games no longer air on KTRS ( which they did for the 2006 - 2010 seasons ) . As of the 2016 season , the play - by - play is provided by former Cardinals right fielder Mike Shannon ( home games only ) and John Rooney , who have been calling games for the team since 1972 and 2006 respectively . Former Cardinals pitcher Rick Horton ( who also serves as a color analyst for Cardinals telecasts on Fox Sports Midwest ) fills in for Shannon on road games . Mike Claiborne hosts the pre - and post-game shows and occasionally fills in on play - by - play .

All but one ( the microstate Liechtenstein ) of Switzerland 's neighbouring countries are EU member states . Contents ( hide ) 1 Trade 2 Treaties 2.1 The 2014 referendum 3 Chronology of the Swiss votes 4 Proposals for EU membership 5 Foreign policy 6 Use of the euro in Switzerland 7 Diplomatic relations between Switzerland and EU member states 8 Swiss financial contributions 9 See also 10 Notes 11 References Trade ( edit ) The European Union is Switzerland 's largest trading partner , and Switzerland is the EU 's third largest trading partner , after the U.S. and China . Switzerland accounts for 5.2 % of the EU 's imports ; mainly chemicals , medicinal products , machinery , instruments and time pieces . In terms of services , the EU 's exports to Switzerland amounted to € 67.0 billion in 2008 while imports from Switzerland stood at € 47.2 billion . Treaties ( edit ) Letter regarding membership negotiations Switzerland signed a free - trade agreement with the then European Economic Community in 1972 , which entered into force in 1973 . Switzerland is a member of the European Free Trade Association ( EFTA ) , and took part in negotiating the European Economic Area ( EEA ) agreement with the European Union . It signed the agreement on 2 May 1992 , and submitted an application for accession to the EU on 20 May 1992 . However , after a Swiss referendum held on 6 December 1992 rejected EEA membership by 50.3 % to 49.7 % , the Swiss government decided to suspend negotiations for EU membership until further notice . These did not resume and in 2016 , Switzerland formally withdrew its application for EU membership . In 1994 , Switzerland and the EU started negotiations about a special relationship outside the EEA . Switzerland wanted to safeguard the economic integration with the EU that the EEA treaty would have permitted , while purging the relationship of the points of contention that had led to the people rejecting the referendum . Swiss politicians stressed the bilateral nature of these negotiations , where negotiations were conducted between two equal partners and not between 16 , 26 , 28 or 29 , as is the case for EU treaty negotiations . These negotiations resulted in a total of ten treaties , negotiated in two phases , the sum of which makes a large share of EU law applicable to Switzerland . The treaties are : Bilateral I agreements ( signed 1999 , in effect 1 June 2002 ) Free movement of people Air traffic Road traffic Agriculture Technical trade barriers Public procurement Science Bilateral II agreements Security and asylum and Schengen membership Cooperation in fraud pursuits Final stipulations in open questions about agriculture , environment , media , education , care of the elderly , statistics and services . The Bilateral I agreements are expressed to be mutually dependent . If any one of them is denounced or not renewed , they all cease to apply . According to the preamble of the EU decision ratifying the agreements : The seven agreements are intimately linked to one another by the requirement that they are to come into force at the same time and that they are to cease to apply at the same time , six months after the receipt of a non-renewal or denunciation notice concerning any one of them . This is referred to as the `` Guillotine clause '' . While the bilateral approach theoretically safeguards the right to refuse application of new EU rules to Switzerland , in practice the scope to do so is limited by the clause . The agreement on the European Economic Area contains a similar clause . Prior to 2014 , the bilateral approach , as it is called in Switzerland , was consistently supported by the Swiss people in referendums . It allows the Swiss to keep a sense of sovereignty , due to arrangements when changes in EU law will only apply after a joint bilateral commission decides so in consensus . It also limits the EU influence to the ten areas , where the EEA includes more areas , with more exceptions than the EEA has . From the perspective of the EU , the treaties largely contain the same content as the EEA treaties , making Switzerland a virtual member of the EEA . Most EU law applies universally throughout the EU , the EEA and Switzerland , providing most of the conditions of the free movement of people , goods , services and capital that apply to full member states . Switzerland pays into the EU budget and extended the bilateral treaties to the new EU member states , just like full members did , although each extension requires the approval of Swiss voters in a referendum . In a referendum on 5 June 2005 , Swiss voters agreed , by a 55 % majority , to join the Schengen Area . This came into effect on 12 December 2008 . In 2009 , the Swiss voted to extend the free movement of people to Bulgaria and Romania by 59.6 % in favour to 40.4 % against . While the EU Directive 2004 / 38 / EC on the right to move and reside freely does not directly apply to Switzerland , the Swiss - EU bilateral agreement on the free movement of people contains the same rights both for Swiss and EEA nationals , and their family members . By 2010 , Switzerland had amassed around 210 trade treaties with the EU . Following the institutional changes in the EU -- particularly regarding foreign policy and the increased role of the European Parliament -- European Council President Herman Van Rompuy and Swiss President Doris Leuthard expressed a desire to `` reset '' EU - Swiss relations with an easier and cleaner way of applying EU law in Switzerland . In December 2012 , the Council of the European Union declared that there will be no further treaties on single market issues unless Switzerland and EU agree on a new legal framework similar to the EEA that , among others , would bind Switzerland more closely to the evolving EU legislation . José Manuel Barroso , the President of the European Commission , later affirmed this position . However , a second referendum on Swiss EEA membership is n't expected , and the Swiss public remains opposed to joining . The 2014 referendum ( edit ) Main article : Swiss immigration referendum , February 2014 In a referendum in February 2014 , the Swiss voters narrowly approved a proposal to limit the freedom of movement of foreign citizens to Switzerland . The European Commission said it would have to examine the implications of the result on EU -- Swiss relations since literal implementation would invoke the guillotine clause . On 22 December 2016 , Switzerland and the EU concluded an agreement whereby a new Swiss law ( in response to the referendum ) would require Swiss employers to take on any job seekers ( whether Swiss nationals or non-Swiss citizens registered in Swiss job agencies ) whilst continuing to observe the free movement of EU citizens into Switzerland thus allowing them to work there . Chronology of the Swiss votes ( edit ) Swiss European Economic Area referendum of 1992 results by Cantons Yes - votes No - votes Chronology of Swiss votes about the European Union : 3 December 1972 : free trade agreement with the European Communities is approved by 72.5 % of voters 6 December 1992 : joining the European Economic Area is rejected by 50.3 % of voters . This vote strongly highlighted the cultural divide between the German - and the French - speaking cantons , the Röstigraben . The only German - speaking cantons voting for the EEA were Basel - Stadt and Basel - Landschaft , which border on France and Germany . 8 June 1997 : the federal popular initiative `` negotiations concerning EU membership : let the people decide ! '' on requiring the approval of a referendum and the Cantons to launch accession negotiations with the EU ( `` Négociations d'adhésion à l'UE : que le peuple décide ! '' ) is rejected by 74.1 % of voters . 21 May 2000 : the Bilateral agreements with the EU are accepted by 67.2 % of voters . 4 March 2001 : the federal popular initiative `` yes to Europe ! '' ( `` Oui à l'Europe ! '' ) on opening accession negotiations with the EU is rejected by 76.8 % of voters . 5 June 2005 : the Schengen Agreement and the Dublin Regulation are approved by 54.6 % of voters . 25 September 2005 : the extension of the free movement of persons to the ten new members of the European Union is accepted by 56.0 % of voters . 26 November 2006 : a cohesion contribution of one billion for the ten new member states of the European Union ( Eastern Europe Cooperation Act ) is approved by 53.4 % of voters . 8 February 2009 : the extension of the free movement of persons to new EU members Bulgaria and Romania is approved by 59.61 % of voters . 17 May 2009 : introduction of biometric passports , as required by the Schengen acquis , is approved by 50.15 % of voters . 17 June 2012 : the federal popular initiative `` international agreements : let the people speak ! '' ( `` Accords internationaux : la parole au peuple ! '' ) on requiring all international treaties to be approved in a referendum launched by the Campaign for an Independent and Neutral Switzerland is rejected by 75.3 % of voters . 9 February 2014 : the federal popular initiative `` against mass immigration '' , which would limit the free movement of people from EU member states , is accepted by 50.3 % of voters . Among these twelve votations , three are against further integration with the EU or for reversing integration with the EU ( 6 December 1992 , 4 March 2001 and 9 February 2014 ) ; the other nine are votes in favour of either deepening or maintaining integration between Switzerland and the European Union . Proposals for EU membership ( edit ) Switzerland took part in negotiating the EEA agreement with the EU and signed the agreement on 2 May 1992 and submitted an application for accession to the EU on 20 May 1992 . A Swiss referendum held on 6 December 1992 rejected EEA membership . As a consequence , the Swiss Government suspended negotiations for EU accession until further notice . It is thought that the fear of a loss of neutrality and independence is the key issue against membership among eurosceptics . Switzerland has relatively little amount of land area with agriculture , on which a large part of the EU budget is spent . The popular initiative entitled `` Yes to Europe ! '' , calling for the opening of immediate negotiations for EU membership , was rejected in a 4 March 2001 referendum by 76.8 %. . The Swiss Federal Council , which was in favour of EU membership , had advised the population to vote against this referendum since the preconditions for the opening of negotiations had not been met . The Swiss federal government has recently undergone several substantial U-turns in policy , however , concerning specific agreements with the EU on freedom of movement for people , workers and areas concerning tax evasion have been addressed within the Swiss banking system . This was a result of the first Switzerland -- EU summit in May 2004 where nine bilateral agreements were signed . Romano Prodi , former President of the European Commission , said the agreements `` moved Switzerland closer to Europe . '' Joseph Deiss of the Swiss Federal Council said , `` We might not be at the very centre of Europe but we 're definitely at the heart of Europe '' . He continued , `` We 're beginning a new era of relations between our two entities . '' With the ratification of the second round of bilateral treaties , the Swiss Federal Council downgraded their characterisation of a full EU membership of Switzerland from a `` strategic goal '' to an `` option '' in 2006 . The Swiss population agreed to their country 's participation in the Schengen Agreement and joined the area in December 2008 . The result of the referendum on extending the freedom of movement of people to Bulgaria and Romania , which joined the EU on 1 January 2007 caused Switzerland to breach its obligations to the EU . The Swiss government declared in September 2009 that bilateral treaties are not solutions and the membership debate has to be examined again while the left - wing Green Party and the Social Democratic Party to state that they would renew their push for EU membership for Switzerland . In the Swiss immigration referendum , February 2014 , a federal popular initiative `` against mass immigration '' , Swiss voters narrowly approved measures limiting the freedom of movement of foreign citizens to Switzerland . The European Commission said it would have to examine the implications of the result on EU -- Swiss relations . Due to the refusal of Switzerland to grant Croatia free movement of persons , the EU accepted Switzerland 's access to the Erasmus+ student mobility program only as a `` partner country '' , as opposed to a `` programme country '' , and the EU froze negotiations on access to the EU electricity market . On March 4 , 2016 , Switzerland and the EU signed a treaty that extends the accord of the free movement of people to Croatia , something which lead to Switzerland 's full readmission into Horizon 2020 , a European funding framework for research and development . The treaty was ratified by the National Council on April 26 on the condition that a solution be found to an impasse on implementing the 2014 referendum . The treaty was passed in December 2016 . This allowed Switzerland to rejoin Horizons 2020 on January 1 , 2017 . EU membership continued to be the objective of the government and was a `` long - term aim '' of the Federal Council until 2016 , when Switzerland 's frozen application was withdrawn . The motion was passed by the Council of States and then by the Federal Council in June . In a letter dated 27 July the Federal Council informed the Presidency of the Council of the European Union that it was withdrawing its application . Foreign policy ( edit ) In the field of foreign and security policy , Switzerland and the EU have no overarching agreements . But in its Security Report 2000 , the Swiss Federal Council announced the importance of contributing to stability and peace beyond Switzerland 's borders and of building an international community of common values . Subsequently , Switzerland started to collaborate in projects of EU 's Common Foreign and Security Policy ( CFSP ) . Switzerland has , contributed staff or material to EU peace keeping and security missions in Bosnia and Herzegovina , the Democratic Republic of the Congo , Kosovo , Macedonia and Aceh in Indonesia . Close cooperation has also been established in the area of international sanctions . As of 2006 , Switzerland has adopted five EU sanctions that were instituted outside of the United Nations . Those affected the former Republic of Yugoslavia ( 1998 ) , Myanmar ( 2000 ) , Zimbabwe ( 2002 ) , Uzbekistan ( 2006 ) and Belarus ( 2006 ) . Use of the euro in Switzerland ( edit ) The currency of Switzerland is the Swiss franc . Switzerland ( with Liechtenstein ) is in the unusual position of being surrounded by countries that use the euro . As a result , the euro is de facto accepted in many places , especially near borders and in tourist regions . Swiss Federal Railways accept euros , both at ticket counters and in automatic ticket machines . Also many public phones , vending machines or ticket machines accept euro coins . Many shops and smaller businesses that accept euros take notes only , and give change in Swiss francs , usually at a less favourable exchange rate than banks . Many bank cash machines issue euros at the traded exchange rate as well as Swiss francs . On 6 September 2011 , the Swiss franc effectively became fixed against the euro : the Franc had always floated independently until its currency appreciation became unacceptable during the eurozone debt crisis . The Swiss National Bank set an SFR / EUR peg that involved a minimum exchange rate of 1.20 francs to the euro , with no upper bound in place . The Bank committed to maintaining this exchange rate to ensure stability . The peg was abandoned on 15 January 2015 , when renewed upward pressure on the Swiss franc exceeded the Bank 's level of tolerance .

Created by writer Robert Kirkman and artist Tony Moore , the character made his debut in The Walking Dead # 1 in 2003 . Rick Grimes is a small town sheriff 's deputy who has a son , Carl , with wife Lori . He awakens from a coma after a life - threatening gun shot wound to find the world overrun by zombies , to which they refer as `` walkers '' . In the comic book series , Rick remains the longest - living survivor , followed closely behind by Carl , Carl 's friend Sophia Peletier , and Sophia 's adoptive mother , Maggie Greene . In both media , Rick awakens from a coma into the apocalypse and searches for Lori and Carl , and finds them in the Atlanta camp with his best friend , Shane Walsh , and becomes the group 's leader . Although Rick quickly adapts to the notion of killing walkers , he retains his morality towards the living , which puts him at odds with Shane . Rick 's morality is constantly tested to protect his family and friends . Over time , his morals slowly diminish after multiple conflicts with other survivors and becomes `` colder '' towards his enemies . Rick struggles to keep his humanity intact throughout the series . His moral compass is further tested by his own group when encountering non-group members who the group believe should join their community . Rick manages to regain his morality when agreeing to join them and is able to be a father once more , but antagonists seeking to exploit his group force him to remain hardened . Rick Grimes has been described as an everyman character who emphasizes moral codes and values . Lincoln obtained the role in April 2010 ; Kirkman felt he was an `` amazing find . '' In preparation for the role , Lincoln sought inspiration from Gary Cooper in his work in the American western film High Noon ( 1952 ) , as well as the television drama series Breaking Bad . Lincoln has been well - received for his portrayal of the character , and has been nominated for several awards , winning a Saturn Award for Best Actor on Television in 2015 .

Art by Tony Moore . Before the zombie apocalypse , Rick was a police officer in the small town of Cynthiana , Kentucky . While in a shootout against an escaped convict with his partner and best friend , Shane Walsh , Rick is wounded and subsequently awakens from a coma some time later . After Duane Jones mistakes Rick for a zombie and hits him over the head with a shovel , Duane 's father Morgan takes Rick in and informs him about what unfolded during his coma . In search of his wife , Lori , and son , Carl , Rick heads to Atlanta , where it is said people were taken for protection . Rick runs out of gas and stops at a farm . Rick finds the owners inside who have committed suicide . Rick throws up outside and searches their barn where he finds a horse . Upon arrival , Rick is rescued from a large group of zombies by a fellow survivor named Glenn , who takes him to a camp where Rick is reunited with his wife Lori and son Carl , as well as Shane . Tension between Rick and Shane over leadership of the group and Lori 's affections boils over in a confrontation which ends with Carl shooting Shane to protect his father . Afterwards , Rick leads the group away from Atlanta , trying to find shelter and safe haven from the undead . Rick 's early settlement plan proves to be disastrous , as the abandoned planned community he thought to be safe is ultimately found to be zombie infested , resulting in a death of one of their own . Lori Grimes , Rick 's wife , shamefully admits to Rick that she is pregnant ( presumably with Shane 's baby ) , but Rick plans to care for it . Carl Grimes , Rick 's son , is accidentally shot in the back by a man named Otis , who escorts Rick and another survivor , Tyreese , a recently joined member of Rick 's group to the farm of Hershel Greene and his family . The group stays there for a brief amount of time before Rick is held at gunpoint by Hershel and forced to move out . While on the road again , two other members of the survivors discover a prison , where everyone seeks refuge and settles down . Prison arc ( 2005 -- 08 ) ( edit ) Rick and the group settle into the prison where they meet the former prison inmates who had n't managed to escape . Rick and Dale soon decide it is best to have as many people as possible at his new settlement , and decide to convince Hershel and his family to leave the farm and join him at the prison , as the farm grows increasingly precarious . The group 's concept of the prison being a safe haven quickly diminishes when Rick and Tyreese find Tyreese 's daughter , Julie , shot dead in an unsuccessful suicide pact with her boyfriend . Julie surprisingly reanimates as a roamer , which causes the revelation that everyone is infected with the mysterious virus , regardless of being bitten or not . After this event , the inmates try to assimilate with Rick 's group with mostly disastrous results . This leads Rick into his first murder , that of the inmate Dexter , during an armed conflict with the other inmates . Weeks after their conflict with the prisoners , Rick , Glenn , and the mysterious , katana - wielding woman Michonne , search for a nearby crashed helicopter which leads them into the town of Woodbury , Georgia . At the town they meet a man called The Governor , who leads Woodbury by extreme manipulation , cunningness , and ruthlessness . Fooled by The Governor 's pseudo-hospitality , like most Woodbury inhabitants , Rick ultimately has his right hand severed in an attempt to get him to reveal the location of the prison . When the Governor sees Rick will never give up his family , he decides to torture both Glenn and Michonne instead , but yet again fails to find the location of the prison . Rick escapes the town with his group and new Woodbury ally , Alice Warren , after Michonne exacts her revenge on The Governor , as she tortures and mutilates him . Rick happily reunites with his family after his captivity in Woodbury . Alice also begins updating Lori on her pregnancy . Alice delivers Lori 's baby , whom the Grimes family name `` Judith . '' However , their happiness is short - lived when the Governor , now horribly disfigured , finds the prison and captures Tyreese and Michonne . He manipulates his followers into believing Rick 's group are marauders . During the final assault on the prison , Tyreese is executed in front of the group as an act of force to lure the group out of the prison , and both sides suffer significant losses . Lori and Judith are murdered as they try to escape . Post-prison ( 2008 -- 09 ) ( edit ) Carl is enraged by Rick , claiming him responsible for their losses . Rick also begins hallucinating his wife . The survivors of the prison assault -- Rick , Michonne and Carl -- return to Hershel 's farm where they reunite with the remainder of the prison group who left before the assault . They meet a new group of survivors who are on a mission to Washington , D.C. , which consist of Abraham Ford ( the leader ) , Eugene Porter ( a man who claims to have knowledge on the cure , requesting to go to D.C. ) and Rosita Espinosa ( Abraham 's girlfriend ) . On the journey to D.C. , the group face many threats . As Rick and Abraham take the interstate to Rick 's hometown , they are confronted by a group of marauders who hold them at gunpoint , as one tries to sexually assault Carl . Rick , overcome with rage , bites one of the bandits ' jugular vein , which distracts the other bandits . Abraham shoots the bandit holding him at gunpoint and comforts Carl as Rick proceeds to stab the remaining bandit to death . Rick later reunites with Morgan in his hometown , who has lost his sanity after his son 's death . Rick , Abraham , Carl and Morgan encounter a large horde who follow them back to the survivors ' camp . Later , after suffering several losses , the group meet a preacher named Gabriel Stokes and confront a cannibalistic group of hunters . Alexandria ( 2009 -- 11 ) ( edit ) On the way to the capital , they find out that their mission is bogus as Eugene Porter has been lying to them about the cure . They decide to still push on to D.C. because of their close proximity , and they find out that the capital is as infested just as the other major cities . However , despite these set backs , they are recruited by Aaron to stay in a secluded and secure township on the outskirts of Washington , called the Alexandria Safe - Zone . Each person tries to find a semblance of real life , but Rick does n't trust the leader of the town , former U.S. Congressman Douglas Monroe . Rick soon becomes the Constable of the Safe Zone , attempting to keep the peace in the town , but is eventually forced to kill Peter Anderson , a man who was abusing his wife and child and soon murdered Regina Monroe , Douglas ' wife , during an assassination attempt on Rick 's life . Rick having been through so much since the prison , slowly starts resuming more leadership - like roles until finally Rick assumes leadership of the Alexandria Safe - Zone , after Douglas soon finds himself losing his grip on life , and his leadership position exacerbating as a result of this . The town becomes endangered after a scavenging group 's attack attracts a nearby horde of zombies that quickly breach the town 's defensive walls . Morgan and Rick 's new girlfriend , Jessie , are two of several casualties in the distress of the situation . As the survivors fight for their lives , several people are killed and Rick 's son is grievously wounded by a gunshot to the head . Using the combined strength of all of those remaining in the community , the survivors fend off the horde and Rick tends to Carl , whose condition is very dire . Following the attack , however , Rick concludes that the undead can be beaten if the survivors put their differences aside and work together . Rick mentions that this is the first time in a very long time that he has hope for the future . Rick 's mindset on survival changes and he gradually develops an optimistic outlook on the community and its true potential . Later , Carl wakes up from his coma , initially with minor amnesia . Rick worries that the son he knew is gone , as he shows no grief over Lori 's loss . A small insurrection is later formed , but the situation is defused without bloodshed and Rick forgives the transgressors . Rick and Andrea continue to bond and become very close concerning Carl in his coma . Andrea develops feelings for Rick . However , Rick resists out of fear of what might happen to him in the event of her death . Networking communities ( 2011 -- 12 ) ( edit ) Paul Monroe , an ambassador from a community of two - hundred survivors called the Hilltop Colony , visits Alexandria to start a trading network with Rick 's community . After some mistrust , Rick agrees to go to the Hilltop Colony and starts the trading network . At the Hilltop , Paul Monroe admits that the Hilltop Colony have enemies , and explain of the infamous Negan , who some speculate may not even be a person . The group learn of the Saviors , the Hilltop 's rivalling community , who frequently terrorize them and threaten to damage their community if they are not brought half of their supplies . Rick agrees to defuse their conflict and plans to rebuild civilization . Rick 's group are ambushed by a group of the Saviors after they leave the Hilltop Colony . Rick 's group retaliates , killing them . He sends the lone survivor back to Negan with a warning to stop terrorizing the residents of Hilltop . Rick and Andrea return to the Safe Zone to discover Abraham has been murdered and Eugene is being held hostage . Residents of the Safe Zone discover the Saviors are outside of the walls , as they quickly respond by killing them . Rick and several others including Glenn and Maggie decide to go back to the Hilltop Colony where Glenn and Maggie plan to live . However , Negan makes his appearance to the survivors surrounded by his men , taunting the survivors before brutally beating Glenn to death . Rick and the others watch on in horror and Maggie and Sophia later leave Rick to go to the Hilltop . Now realizing the full scale of Negan 's army , Rick intentionally gives in , allowing Negan to take all of Alexandria 's supplies . War against Negan ( 2012 -- 14 ) ( edit ) Rick remains at conflict with Negan and the Saviors . Carl reveals to his father that the Saviors live in a factory . Paul Monroe tells Rick that they should see Ezekiel , the leader of the Kingdom . Ezekiel , residing in a high school , greets Paul Monroe and welcomes Rick to his community . He agrees to work with Rick , and explains that he has another visitor , Dwight , a Savior secretly working against Negan . Rick , initially angry with Dwight 's appearance , eventually forms an alliance with him , but remains wary of whether to trust Dwight or not . During the war , the Alexandria Safe Zone , the Kingdom and the Sanctuary suffer many losses . Rick rescues Andrea and Carl when the Alexandria Safe Zone is bombed by the Saviors . Maggie , now the de facto leader of the Hilltop Colony , relocates the residents to the Hilltop , where all three communities unite . Negan arrives at the Hilltop Colony as the Saviors break down the front gates and swarm the community . Rick orders the survivors to open fire , destroying the truck that smashed through , killing several Saviors in the process . During the firefight , Rick takes Nicholas and Aaron to box in the attackers . While they take cover , Rick unknowingly leaves himself vulnerable from behind . Negan , who separates from the other Saviors with Dwight , finds Rick at a close distance and demands that Dwight shoot him with his infected crossbow . Dwight shows some hesitation , but is ultimately forced to shoot Rick . An arrow pierces Rick 's side , taking him down , but Dwight 's loyalties are revealed to be on Rick 's side as he has not succumbed to the infection . He confronts Negan , showing his perspective , and Negan finally understands Rick 's view of rebuilding society . In response , Rick slashes Negan 's throat before Negan breaks his leg . Negan passes out , before he is saved by a doctor . Rick chooses to imprison Negan , believing that watching the regrowth of civilization from behind a cell is a better punishment than killing him . Dwight takes over as leader of the Saviors , supporting Rick and the war is won . Post-war / time skip ( 2014 -- ongoing ) ( edit ) An indefinite number of years later , Rick and the others have rebuilt Alexandria into a thriving sanctuary . He welcomes newcomers , Magna and her group who are initially wary of the safe haven , but eventually come to understand the running of the community . Carl convinces his father to let him relocate to the Hilltop Colony to become a blacksmith apprentice , which Rick agrees on . Rick reunites with Maggie Greene and her adoptive daughter Sophia as he brings Carl to the Hilltop . Rick leaves Carl under Maggie 's care . Unaware that his son has joined Alpha and the Whisperers , a tribe of thousands who disguise themselves as zombies , Rick reunites with Michonne as a ship arrives revealing her presence . He is concerned by her behaviour , telling her to sort out her issues and move on after the loss of her daughters . Later , as Michonne and Rick go to Alexandria to attend a fair that has been planned months in advance , they discover Carl is missing and decide to go after him , along with Andrea . Alpha , however , confronts them , and points a gun at Rick 's head as she marches him up to an unknown building where he sees thousands of Whisperers . Michonne 's sword is also smeared with blood . Alpha decides to leave her daughter Lydia , who has feelings for Carl , with Rick , believing her to be a weakness . She criticizes Rick 's leadership and trying to re-establish society as it had been , before telling him she has marked a border . As Rick reaches the border , he is horrified to find many civilians from each of the four communities decapitated , including Ezekiel and the pregnant Rosita . Michonne begins to cry as Andrea solemnly asks him what they do next . Rick decides to tell the communities , who take it terribly . He is attacked by two of the citizens . One man made it out alive , the other , Morton Rose , the husband of one of the decapitated victims , did not . He starts training the people of the joined communities to fight against walkers as well as the Whisperers .

After a successful raid on the Saviors in the episode `` Not Tomorrow Yet '' , Rick believes the threat of the Saviors to have been vanquished , only to be proven wrong when Denise is killed in the episode `` Twice as Far . '' Rick makes preparations for an attack from the Saviors in the episode `` East '' , but in the season finale `` Last Day on Earth '' when Maggie has complications in her pregnancy , leads a team to seek Dr. Carson 's aid at Hilltop . The group is herded into a trap by the Saviors , and Rick is helpless and frightened as he realizes the true threat poised by Negan as one of his group is brutally killed . Season 7 ( edit ) See also : The Walking Dead ( season 7 ) In the season premiere , `` The Day Will Come When You Wo n't Be '' , Abraham and Glenn are killed and Negan torments Rick . He is forced to accept Negan 's way of living . In `` Service '' , Rick is forced to abide by Negan 's rules and the opposition of Spencer , who he threatens . In `` Hearts Still Beating '' , Rick and Aaron return from a supply run to Negan killing Spencer . Negan explains Spencer cowardly asked him to Rick to take over . Eugene is captured for making the bullet to try and kill Negan , culminating in Rick agreeing with Michonne to stand up and fight , and goes to the Hilltop , reuniting with everyone to fight . In `` Rock in the Road '' , Rick attempts to build an army against Negan ; when they fail to rally enough people in Hilltop , Jesus brings them to a community known as the Kingdom . There , Rick meets with their leader King Ezekiel , who decides not to fight . Rick and the group are able to procure some wired explosives left by the Saviors . Later , Rick and the others are surrounded by a new junkyard group . In `` '' New Best Friends `` , Rick negotiates with the leader Jadis , and she agrees on one - third of supplies once the war is over , but they need a large quantity of guns to make a formal alliance . In `` Say Yes '' , Rick and Michonne look for guns . They bond , have sex , and have a deep conversation about whether he will die in the war , asking her to take over if he does . From the guns he finds , Jadis states it is n't enough , so Rick manages to convince her to let them keep some of them while they find more . In `` Something They Need '' , Tara leads Rick to Oceanside where they have guns , haven kept it a secret . They huddle the community at gunpoint but assure they will return them later . They fail to convince Oceanside to fight . In `` The First Day of the Rest of Your Life '' , Dwight , no longer Negan 's ally , offers to help Rick and delays Negan 's arrive , while Rick brings Jadis and the Scavengers to Alexandria to prepare for an attack . It backfires when it is revealed Jadis was already working with Negan . Negan threatens to kill Sasha , and Rick asks to see her . Sasha , having killed herself to prevent herself from being used as bait , attacks Negan , buying the Alexandrians a chance to open fire against the Scavengers and Saviors . Rick is shot by Jadis after he tries to re-negotiate and later soldiers from the Kingdom and the Hilltop arrive to save the day . This prompts Negan to retreat , allowing Rick and his allies a victory . The episode ends with Rick , Maggie and Ezekiel uniting the three communities together . Season 8 ( edit ) In the season premiere , `` Mercy '' , Rick stands before the assembled forces of the Kingdom , Alexandria and the Hilltop and declares the world to be theirs and that those who kill and take will no longer hold power . After his speech he puts his plan into destroying the Saviors into motion , leading a large convoy of survivors , with armored vehicles to the Sanctuary . After Negan exits , Rick offers his lieutenants and the Saviors inside the chance to surrender , but states that Negan has to die . The group then opens fire , ravaging the Sanctuary before a massive herd of walkers ( led by Daryl ) arrives and Rick uses an explosive - laden RV to blow open the gates . As walker flood into the Sanctuary , Rick spots Negan taking cover and attempts to shoot him , but is led away by Gabriel as they have to leave , reminding him `` it 's not about you . '' In the episode `` The Damned '' , Rick and Daryl lead a group of survivors to take control of a Savior compound with the added goal of capturing a stash of guns housed inside . Rick finds where he believes them to be housed , but only gains access after killing a Savior in a brutal fight . He opens the door to find a nursery with a baby inside , forcing Rick to question the morality of his plan . This is compounded when he is confronted by former Atlanta survivor Morales , now a Savior , who informs him that reinforcements are on the way . `` Monsters '' opens with Rick talking to Morales , trying to convince him of Negan 's evil to no effect . Their conversation is cut short when Daryl kills Morales from behind , despite Rick 's protests . He is further disturbed when Daryl executes a Savior who Rick promised to let go in exchange for information . Rick also finds out Carl is close to death after a walker bit him when he was helping a man named Siddiq reach safety . Development ( edit ) Casting ( edit ) Lincoln alluded to several television shows and cinematic works in portraying Rick Grimes , including Gary Cooper 's character in the American western film High Noon ( 1952 ) . Rick Grimes is portrayed by Andrew Lincoln , who was cast as part of the television adaptation in April 2010 . Prior to attaining the role , Lincoln had no prior knowledge of the comic book series . `` I did n't even get a script the first time -- I got sides , because it was so top - secret , '' he stated . `` I was really intrigued and put myself on tape . They got back very quickly from Hollywood and gave me the script . '' Lincoln approached a bookstore ( Mega City Comics ) in the London Borough of Camden , where the owner introduced him to the comics . `` That 's when I went to a comic - book store in Camden , and said ' Have you heard of this comic book ? ' . The owner showed me this shrine they had to the comic , and said ' This is our most popular and successful comic , and in my opinion , one of the greatest graphic novels of the last ten years ' . That 's when I got into it . '' In preparation for the role , Lincoln sought inspiration from the American drama series Breaking Bad , as well as western film High Noon ( 1952 ) . Since he felt that The Walking Dead emulated western cinematic works , Lincoln found High Noon to be very useful in projecting a country - like character for Rick Grimes . The performance of Gary Cooper and the moral structure of his character was also cited as an influence ; `` He 's a divided man , between his responsibilities and his marriage . He 's not like the Clint Eastwood figure , the loner . It 's more complicated than that . He 's got a softer heart , so that was definitely an inspiration for me as well . '' Lincoln avouched that it was difficult to perfect a southern American accent . `` I worked really hard on the accent , '' he stated . `` I suppose if you 're asked by one of the great channels in America to lead their show , you want to start off getting that right . I worked hard on not just the accent , but also on being American and getting into the feel of that . '' He traveled to Atlanta three weeks before production of the first season began , and worked with a dialect coach while there . Although weapon training was required , Lincoln had previous experience with weaponry training in the British six - part television series Strike Back ( 2010 ) . Executive producer Gale Anne Hurd initially did n't expect Lincoln to portray Grimes . Upon hearing the announcement , Writer Robert Kirkman felt that Lincoln was an `` amazing find '' and added that he accurately embodied the characteristics of Rick Grimes . `` Writing Rick Grimes month after month in the comic series , I had no idea he was an actual living , breathing human being , and yet , here he is . I could n't be more thrilled with how this show is coming together . '' Although he was initially shocked upon hearing of the concept of The Walking Dead , Lincoln thought that the script for `` Days Gone Bye '' was well written . He stated : `` I read it and thought it was well written , and I put myself on tape just for one scene . I did n't know who was involved at this point . '' The following day , Lincoln 's agent called him about the development of the pilot , to which Lincoln called it `` kind of like a dream list . '' Characterization ( edit ) Rick is a much more realistic police officer . I always kind of pictured that Rick Grimes was not a police officer that had used his gun very often . He was just one of those guys that basically just walks by the local malt shop and made sure the kids were getting home on time . -- Robert Kirkman Rick Grimes has been described as a man that emphasizes moral standards . Lincoln summated : `` His intentions are good , though his decisions may be bad many times . He 's complicated and flawed , which I find fascinating because it makes him human . He sort of erodes over time because of the world he lives in , and there 's nothing more satisfying than playing a character that changes irrevocably , so I embrace all of that . '' Lincoln added that Rick was a somewhat inflexible leader , which he opined could potentially put Grimes ' group in danger . Despite these assertions , he affirmed that the complexities have molded him into a decisive and peculiar character . `` I also think Rick 's inflexibility is both a part of his character and a reaction to what 's happening around him . This situation ( ... ) has brought qualities out in people that are both good and horrible . And certainly , as I was playing him , I felt Rick ( consistently ) needed to have a mission , otherwise he was just stagnating . You see this in several characters . They have to keep moving . Without a horizon , they flounder . And it was a big call for Rick to go to the CDC ( ... ) in the fifth episode , but he was looking long - term . I find that admirable , because he 's looking to the future for his family , for a cure , and for sanctity . '' In both media , Rick adopts a more dark and assertive nature as the story progresses . In the comic , he is faced with dealing against a murderous sociopath that claims the life of two group members , as well as an attempted suicide indirectly provoked by his close and trusted friend . Perhaps the most significant moment , he is eventually put under physical and mental torture by The Governor as a result of vulnerability and mistaken trust , ultimately causing him to become crippled and causing the death of many within the group , including his wife and newborn child . The first hand witnessing of the savageness around him leads him to gradually adapt a more primal mindset , becoming less affected by violence and death ( at times brutally murdering / mutilating people ) . Similarly , his perspective becomes increasingly deluded , as his decreased trust in people and decreased tolerance level leads him to take no issue in risking the life of an innocent . This is specifically shown as Rick struggles when eventually being given the chance to return to normalcy . He is however shown to be very protective of those who have suffered alongside him and most protective of his son , Carl , which leads to him being caring and considerate to them one moment and cold and detached the next . Later in the series , after his wife 's death and his son suffering from amnesia after being shot , his long friend Andrea helps him see a brighter future for the community they reside in called Alexandria and Rick begins to embrace his leadership position , as well as start a relationship with her . He then begins a trading network with other communities , which is threatened by the tyrannical Negan who is eventually subdued and imprisoned . He continues to grow and expand his community , and create safety perimeters around Washington , DC to travel to other communities . In the second season of The Walking Dead progresses . Kirkman discerned that the second season revolved around Grimes ' ability to emerge as a credible leader , proving to the group that he can adequately protect everyone in the group . He continued : `` This is one more thing emerging where you see that this is a guy who can gun down people when they 're a threat and can definitely handle himself when it comes to zombies but also cares about people . He 's going to retain some of that humanity , and that 's very important for these characters . It makes Rick stand head and shoulders above other people , like Shane , in this world . '' The gradual change is largely attributed to the death of Sophia Peletier , whom he shot after she had turned into a walker in `` Pretty Much Dead Already . '' These characteristics become more prominent in `` Nebraska '' , and again in `` 18 Miles Out . '' Robert Kirkman felt that `` Nebraska '' demonstrated that Rick Grimes was not delirious , as Shane accused him of being . The end of this episode proves to Rick that that 's not the case . This entire season has been leading up to the moment where he shot those two men . Shane has been beating it into his head that he is n't fit for this world and needs to be a harder man and be able to make the hard decisions . Over the last two episodes , we 've seen Rick be the one that has to step up and shoot Sophia when no one else can . We 've seen him in the blink of an eye take out two guys who are a clear threat to him and everyone else that 's with him . This is really the beginning of Rick emerging as a clear leader and answering that thing that Shane 's been saying all this time . After the death of his wife in the television series , Rick faces a downward spiral to the point of relinquishing his leadership position in the prison community by the end of the third season . At the beginning of the fourth season , Lincoln described Rick as a man `` repressing his brutality for the sake of his son . '' However , at the end of the fourth season after losing the prison and suffering more losses , he described Rick as `` a man accepting brutality for the sake of his son , '' following closely to the comic in which he bites the throat of a marauder who threatens to assassinate him and assault his son . He further assessed that `` Rick is a man who has made peace with the brutality within him that 's inherent in him along with the moral sense that is just as valid a part of him . Rick is psychologically the strongest he 's ever been . Because he 's realized that the only way to stay alive -- to keep his son alive in this new world -- is by actively embracing all sides of his personality including darkness , fury and rage . '' In the fifth season , Lincoln asserted that `` Rick is ( ... ) at the most complete place he 's been ever since the apocalypse started . He 's a man who does n't doubt himself anymore , and he 's accepted his brutality as much as his humanity . So I think he 's in an incredibly powerful and dangerous place . '' He also described him as being a leader once again , who is much more uncompromising as he `` ( drags ) a lot of ( the group ) into a place that is darker , more brutal . '' Entertainment Weekly assessed that `` This is the Rick viewers most assuredly need after watching him mope around on - and - off for two seasons after having very bad thing in the world happen to him . And it 's the Rick that the rest of the survivors need as well if they are going to continue to keep on keeping on . '' Reception ( edit ) Critical reception ( edit ) Rick Grimes was named the 26th Top Comic Book Hero by IGN , and Lincoln 's portrayal of Rick Grimes has been generally well received by television commentators and audiences . He was nominated for a Saturn Award in the category for Best Actor in Television . IGN 's Eric Goldman stated that Lincoln fit into character very well ; `` For much of the pilot , he 's on his own and exudes a lot of believable , shocked emotion , as Rick tries to process what he is seeing . '' Although he cited that his accent was `` dodgy '' in the pilot installment , Leonard Pierce of The A.V. Club observed that Lincoln became more relaxed as the series progressed . `` His body language and expression here is totally different now than when we saw him before . He 's a fast learner . '' As the second season commenced , critics became keen to the character development of Grimes in several episodes , particularly in `` Nebraska . '' Reviewing the episode , Los Angeles Times ' Gina McIntyre felt that Rick emulated Justified character Raylan Givens , while Zach Handlen of The A.V. Club observed that Rick was morphing into `` something of a badass . '' Handlen added that it marked a turning point for Grimes , which established his position `` as a guy who can do what needs to be done . '' Scott Meslow of The Atlantic commented that `` there 's the surprisingly swift , violent dénouement , when Rick guns down Dave and Tony before they can do the same to him . It 's a necessary action , given the circumstances , but it also rings in an honest - to - god character change for our hero , who , having dispatched zombie Sophia , seems to have developed a new recognition of the ruthlessness and self - centeredness it may take to survive in this new world order . '' The growing tensions between Rick Grimes and Shane Walsh have been well received by television critics . In a review for `` Bloodletting '' , Joe Oesterle of Mania.com commended the performances of Lincoln and Bernthal . Oesterle wrote , `` Andrew Lincoln and Jon Bernthal ( ... ) gave a fine bit of acting , and I found it interesting how the character Rick started looking and walking a little bit zombish after giving blood . The scenes between the two men were moving , and if you listened close you could decipher the main differences between these two cowboy cops . Rick is bound and determined to get back to his wife and let her know their son is in mortal danger , without ever doubting his own ability to successfully complete the mission , while Shane on the other hand is not quite as automatically selfless and heroic . '' Several critics lauded Grimes ' interactions with Walsh in `` 18 Miles Out . '' Writing for CNN , Henry Hanks said that `` Rick made it clear to Shane that he had to respect his rules from now on . '' Alex Crumb of The Faster Times evaluated their physical confrontation as `` wholly satisfying , '' while Entertainment Weekly writer Darren Franich appreciated the fight scene involving Grimes and Walsh ; `` The Shane / Rick fight was great , a brilliantly extended scuffle that started out with an air of boys - will - be-boys pettiness but quickly escalated into something genuinely homicidal . '' Berriman of SFX summated : `` It 's shocking when Shane hurls a wrench at Rick 's head , but even more shocking that Rick is prepared to cut and run and leave him for dead . Rick 's change of heart when he looks down at the two dead walkers on the floor and is reminded of the friendship between himself and his former partner is a beautifully played moment , which speaks volumes without a single line of dialogue being uttered . The fact that , come the end , he 's willing to trust Shane again after all that has gone on between them is genuinely touching . '' By the start of season three , Rick 's character arc developed him into a more world - weary , cynical , ruthless , and hardened person . Erik Kain of Forbes said that Rick started out as `` the voice of reason , a calm presence , and an earnest leader '' in the first two seasons , but had developed into an `` anti-hero '' by season three . Tom Ward of Esquire noted that Rick was almost a completely different man by the end of the fifth season : `` He may resemble the clean - cut law enforcer from the first season , but inside , ' stuff ' and ' things ' have changed the man with the highest zombie kill count in history ... Has Rick become the show 's villain ? After Rick and his group slaughtered the members of Terminus , Andrew Lincoln voiced that `` ( i ) n Seasons 1 , 2 , and 3 , and half of 4 , Rick was a man either restraining or denying a brutal part of his personality , in order that his children grow up and , hopefully , have a father that was morally sound . A father who could give a good value system to his children . The difference in ( Season five ) is that there is no safe haven . '' In the seventh season , Zack Handlen for The A.V. Club was critical of the morality of Rick and Tara raiding Oceanside . He assessed , `` ... we are forcibly reminded of The Walking Dead 's greatest weakness : Rick Must Always Be Right ( except when he 's trying to fight against his destiny as a leader ) . The people of Oceanside almost immediately lose what little distinctive identity they once had , falling in line like they were just waiting for some bearded dude to show up and start ordering them around , and there 's no acknowledgement of the weirdness of this , of how close Rick 's tactics are to the very man he 's trying to destroy '' .

what were the 3 major native american civilizations in north america | [

While the phrase `` pre-Columbian era '' literally refers only to the time preceding Christopher Columbus 's voyages of 1492 , in practice the phrase is usually used to denote the entire history of indigenous Americas cultures until those cultures were exterminated , diminished , or extensively altered by Europeans , even if this happened decades or centuries after Columbus 's first landing . For this reason the alternative terms of Precontact Americas , Pre-Colonial Americas or Prehistoric Americas are also in use . In areas of Latin America the term usually used is Pre-Hispanic . Many pre-Columbian civilizations established hallmarks which included permanent settlements , cities , agriculture , civic and monumental architecture , major earthworks , and complex societal hierarchies . Some of these civilizations had long faded by the time of the first permanent European colonies and the arrival of enslaved Africans ( c. late 16th -- early 17th centuries ) , and are known only through archaeological investigations and oral history . Other civilizations were contemporary with the colonial period and were described in European historical accounts of the time . A few , such as the Maya civilization , had their own written records . Because many Christian Europeans of the time viewed such texts as heretical , men like Diego de Landa destroyed many texts in pyres , even while seeking to preserve native histories . Only a few hidden documents have survived in their original languages , while others were transcribed or dictated into Spanish , giving modern historians glimpses of ancient culture and knowledge . Indigenous American cultures continue to evolve after the pre-Columbian era . Many of these peoples and their descendants continue traditional practices while evolving and adapting new cultural practices and technologies into their lives .

It was not until the nineteenth century that the work of men such as John Lloyd Stephens , Eduard Seler and Alfred P. Maudslay , and of institutions such as the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology of Harvard University , led to the reconsideration and criticism of the European sources . Now , the scholarly study of pre-Columbian cultures is most often based on scientific and multidisciplinary methodologies . Settlement of the Americas ( edit ) Main articles : Settlement of the Americas and Paleo - Indians Further information : Genetic history of indigenous peoples of the Americas Asian nomads are thought to have entered the Americas via the Bering Land Bridge ( Beringia ) , now the Bering Strait and possibly along the coast . Genetic evidence found in Amerindians ' maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA ( mtDNA ) supports the theory of multiple genetic populations migrating from Asia . Over the course of millennia , Paleo - Indians spread throughout North and South America . Exactly when the first group of people migrated into the Americas is the subject of much debate . One of the earliest identifiable cultures was the Clovis culture , with sites dating from some 13,000 years ago . However , older sites dating back to 20,000 years ago have been claimed . Some genetic studies estimate the colonization of the Americas dates from between 40,000 and 13,000 years ago . The chronology of migration models is currently divided into two general approaches . The first is the short chronology theory with the first movement beyond Alaska into the New World occurring no earlier than 14,000 -- 17,000 years ago , followed by successive waves of immigrants . The second belief is the long chronology theory , which proposes that the first group of people entered the hemisphere at a much earlier date , possibly 50,000 -- 40,000 years ago or earlier . Artifacts have been found in both North and South America which have been dated to 14,000 years ago , and accordingly humans have been proposed to have reached Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America by this time . In that case , the Eskimo peoples would have arrived separately and at a much later date , probably no more than 2,000 years ago , moving across the ice from Siberia into Alaska . North America ( edit ) Main article : North American prehistory Further information : List of archaeological periods ( North America ) Further information : Aboriginal peoples in Canada § History , Native Americans in the United States § History , and Pre-Columbian Mexico Archaic period ( edit ) The North American climate was unstable as the ice age receded . It finally stabilized by about 10,000 years ago ; climatic conditions were then very similar to today 's . Within this time frame , roughly pertaining to the Archaic Period , numerous archaeological cultures have been identified . The unstable climate led to widespread migration , with early Paleo - Indians soon spreading throughout the Americas , diversifying into many hundreds of culturally distinct tribes . The Paleo - Indians were hunter - gatherers , likely characterized by small , mobile bands consisting of approximately 20 to 50 members of an extended family . These groups moved from place to place as preferred resources were depleted and new supplies were sought . During much of the Paleo - Indian period , bands are thought to have subsisted primarily through hunting now - extinct giant land animals such as mastodon and ancient bison . Paleo - Indian groups carried a variety of tools . These included distinctive projectile points and knives , as well as less distinctive implements used for butchering and hide processing . The vastness of the North American continent , and the variety of its climates , ecology , vegetation , fauna , and landforms , led ancient peoples to coalesce into many distinct linguistic and cultural groups . This is reflected in the oral histories of the indigenous peoples , described by a wide range of traditional creation stories which often say that a given people have been living in a certain territory since the creation of the world . Over the course of thousands of years , paleo - Indian people domesticated , bred and cultivated a number of plant species . These species were very nutritious , and they now constitute 50 -- 60 % of all crops in cultivation worldwide . In general , Arctic , Subarctic , and coastal peoples continued to live as hunters and gatherers , while agriculture was adopted in more temperate and sheltered regions . But wherever it was adopted , plant cultivation permitted a dramatic rise in population . Middle Archaic period ( edit ) After the migration or migrations , it was several thousand years before the first complex societies arose , the earliest emerging about seven to eight thousand years ago . As early as 6500 BCE , people in the Lower Mississippi Valley at the Monte Sano site were building complex earthwork mounds , probably for religious purposes . This is the earliest dated of numerous mound complexes found in present - day Louisiana , Mississippi and Florida . Since the late twentieth century , archeologists have explored and dated these sites . They have found that they were built by hunter - gatherer societies , whose people occupied the sites on a seasonal basis , and who had not yet developed ceramics . Watson Brake , a large complex of eleven platform mounds , was constructed beginning in 3400 BCE and added to over 500 years . This has changed earlier assumptions that complex construction arose only after societies had adopted agriculture , become sedentary , often developed stratified hierarchy , and generally also developed ceramics . These ancient people had organized to build complex mound projects from a different basis . Late Archaic period ( edit ) Poverty Point , 1500 BCE Until the accurate dating of Watson Brake and similar sites , the oldest mound complex was thought to be Poverty Point , also located in the Lower Mississippi Valley . Built about 1500 BCE , it is the centerpiece of a culture extending over 100 sites on both sides of the Mississippi . The Poverty Point site has earthworks in the form of six concentric half - circles , divided by radial aisles , together with some mounds . The entire complex is nearly a mile across . Mound building was continued by succeeding cultures , who built numerous sites in the middle Mississippi and Ohio River valleys as well , adding effigy mounds , conical and ridge mounds and other shapes . Woodland period ( edit ) Main article : Woodland period Hopewell mounds from the Mound City Group in Ohio The Woodland period of North American pre-Columbian cultures refers to the time period from roughly 1000 BCE to 1000 CE in the eastern part of North America . The term `` Woodland '' was coined in the 1930s and refers to prehistoric sites between the Archaic period and the Mississippian cultures . The Adena culture and the ensuing Hopewell tradition during this period built monumental earthwork architecture and established continent - spanning trade and exchange networks . This period is considered a developmental stage without any massive changes in a short period , but instead having a continuous development in stone and bone tools , leather working , textile manufacture , tool production , cultivation , and shelter construction . Some Woodland peoples continued to use spears and atlatls until the end of the period , when they were replaced by bows and arrows . Mississippian culture ( edit ) Main article : Mississippian Culture Cahokia , the largest Mississippian culture site The Mississippian culture was spread across the Southeast and Midwest from the Atlantic coast to the edge of the plains , from the Gulf of Mexico to the Upper Midwest , although most intensively in the area along the Mississippi River and Ohio River . One of the distinguishing features of this culture was the construction of complexes of large earthen mounds and grand plazas , continuing the moundbuilding traditions of earlier cultures . They grew maize and other crops intensively , participated in an extensive trade network and had a complex stratified society . The Mississippians first appeared around 1000 CE , following and developing out of the less agriculturally intensive and less centralized Woodland period . The largest urban site of this people , Cahokia -- located near modern East St. Louis , Illinois -- may have reached a population of over 20,000 . Other chiefdoms were constructed throughout the Southeast , and its trade networks reached to the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico . At its peak , between the 12th and 13th centuries , Cahokia was the most populous city in North America . ( Larger cities did exist in Mesoamerica and South America . ) Monk 's Mound , the major ceremonial center of Cahokia , remains the largest earthen construction of the prehistoric New World . The culture reached its peak in about 1200 -- 1400 CE , and in most places , it seems to have been in decline before the arrival of Europeans . Many Mississippian peoples were encountered by the expedition of Hernando de Soto in the 1540s , mostly with disastrous results for both sides . Unlike the Spanish expeditions in Mesoamerica , who conquered vast empires with relatively few men , the de Soto expedition wandered the American Southeast for four years , becoming more bedraggled , losing more men and equipment , and eventually arriving in Mexico as a fraction of its original size . The local people fared much worse though , as the fatalities of diseases introduced by the expedition devastated the populations and produced much social disruption . By the time Europeans returned a hundred years later , nearly all of the Mississippian groups had vanished , and vast swaths of their territory were virtually uninhabited . Historic tribes ( edit ) When the Europeans arrived , indigenous peoples of North America had a wide range of lifeways from sedentary , agrarian societies to semi-nomadic hunter - gatherer societies . Many formed new tribes or confederations in response to European colonization . These are often classified by cultural regions , loosely based on geography . These can include the following : Arctic , including Aleut , Inuit , and Yupik peoples Subarctic Northeastern Woodlands Southeastern Woodlands Great Plains Great Basin Northwest Plateau Northwest Coast California Southwest ( Oasisamerica ) Numerous pre-Columbian societies were sedentary , such as the Pueblo peoples , Mandan , Hidatsa and others , and some established large settlements , even cities , such as Cahokia , in what is now Illinois . The Iroquois League of Nations or `` People of the Long House '' was a politically advanced , democratic society , which is thought by some historians to have influenced the United States Constitution , with the Senate passing a resolution to this effect in 1988 . Other historians have contested this interpretation and believe the impact was minimal , or did not exist , pointing to numerous differences between the two systems and the ample precedents for the constitution in European political thought . Mesoamerica ( edit ) Further information : Mesoamerican chronology One of the pyramids in the upper level of Yaxchilán Atlantes at Tula , Hidalgo Mesoamerica is the region extending from central Mexico south to the northwestern border of Costa Rica that gave rise to a group of stratified , culturally related agrarian civilizations spanning an approximately 3,000 - year period before the visits to the New World by Christopher Columbus . Mesoamerican is the adjective generally used to refer to that group of pre-Columbian cultures . This refers to an environmental area occupied by an assortment of ancient cultures that shared religious beliefs , art , architecture , and technology in the Americas for more than three thousand years . Between 2000 and 300 BCE , complex cultures began to form in Mesoamerica . Some matured into advanced pre-Columbian Mesoamerican civilizations such as the Olmec , Teotihuacan , Maya , Zapotec , Mixtec , Huastec , Purepecha , Toltec , and Mexica / Aztecs . The Mexica civilization is also known as the Aztec Triple Alliance , since they were three smaller kingdoms loosely united together . These indigenous civilizations are credited with many inventions : building pyramid - temples , mathematics , astronomy , medicine , writing , highly accurate calendars , fine arts , intensive agriculture , engineering , an abacus calculator , and complex theology . They also invented the wheel , but it was used solely as a toy . In addition , they used native copper , silver and gold for metalworking . Archaic inscriptions on rocks and rock walls all over northern Mexico ( especially in the state of Nuevo León ) demonstrate an early propensity for counting . Their number system was base 20 and included zero . These early count - markings were associated with astronomical events and underscore the influence that astronomical activities had upon Mesoamerican people before the arrival of Europeans . Many of the later Mesoamerican civilizations carefully built their cities and ceremonial centers according to specific astronomical events . The biggest Mesoamerican cities , such as Teotihuacan , Tenochtitlan , and Cholula , were among the largest in the world . These cities grew as centers of commerce , ideas , ceremonies , and theology , and they radiated influence outwards onto neighboring cultures in central Mexico . While many city - states , kingdoms , and empires competed with one another for power and prestige , Mesoamerica can be said to have had five major civilizations : the Olmec , Teotihuacan , the Toltec , the Mexica and the Maya . These civilizations ( with the exception of the politically fragmented Maya ) extended their reach across Mesoamerica -- and beyond -- like no others . They consolidated power and distributed influence in matters of trade , art , politics , technology , and theology . Other regional power players made economic and political alliances with these civilizations over the span of 4,000 years . Many made war with them , but almost all peoples found themselves within one of their spheres of influence . Regional communications in ancient Mesoamerica have been the subject of considerable research . There is evidence of trade routes starting as far north as the Mexico Central Plateau , and going down to the Pacific coast . These trade routes and cultural contacts then went on as far as Central America . These networks operated with various interruptions from pre-Olmec times and up to the Late Classical Period ( 600 -- 900 CE ) . Olmec civilization ( edit ) Main article : Olmec The earliest known civilization is the Olmec . This civilization established the cultural blueprint by which all succeeding indigenous civilizations would follow in Mexico . Pre-Olmec civilization began with the production of pottery in abundance , around 2300 BCE in the Grijalva River delta . Between 1600 and 1500 BCE , the Olmec civilization had begun , with the consolidation of power at their capital , a site today known as San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán near the coast in southeast Veracruz . The Olmec influence extended across Mexico , into Central America , and along the Gulf of Mexico . They transformed many peoples ' thinking toward a new way of government , pyramid - temples , writing , astronomy , art , mathematics , economics , and religion . Their achievements paved the way for the Maya civilization and the civilizations in central Mexico . Teotihuacan civilization ( edit ) Main article : Teotihuacan The decline of the Olmec resulted in a power vacuum in Mexico . Emerging from that vacuum was Teotihuacan , first settled in 300 BCE . By 150 CE , Teotihuacan had risen to become the first true metropolis of what is now called North America . Teotihuacan established a new economic and political order never before seen in Mexico . Its influence stretched across Mexico into Central America , founding new dynasties in the Maya cities of Tikal , Copan , and Kaminaljuyú . Teotihuacan 's influence over the Maya civilization can not be overstated : it transformed political power , artistic depictions , and the nature of economics . Within the city of Teotihuacan was a diverse and cosmopolitan population . Most of the regional ethnicities of Mexico were represented in the city , such as Zapotecs from the Oaxaca region . They lived in apartment communities where they worked their trades and contributed to the city 's economic and cultural prowess . Teotihuacan 's economic pull impacted areas in northern Mexico as well . It was a city whose monumental architecture reflected a monumental new era in Mexican civilization , declining in political power about 650 CE -- but lasting in cultural influence for the better part of a millennium , to around 950 CE . Maya architecture at Uxmal Maya civilization ( edit ) Main article : Maya civilization Contemporary with Teotihuacan 's greatness was that of the Maya civilization . The period between 250 CE and 650 CE was a time of intense flourishing of Maya civilized accomplishments . While the many Maya city - states never achieved political unity on the order of the central Mexican civilizations , they exerted a tremendous intellectual influence upon Mexico and Central America . The Maya built some of the most elaborate cities on the continent , and made innovations in mathematics , astronomy , and calendrics . The Mayans also evolved the only true writing system native to the Americas using pictographs and syllabic elements in the form of texts and codices inscribed on stone , pottery , wood , or highly perishable books made from bark paper . Aztec / Mexica / Triple Alliance civilization ( edit ) Main article : Aztec With the decline of the Toltec civilization came political fragmentation in the Valley of Mexico . Into this new political game of contenders to the Toltec throne stepped outsiders : the Mexica . They were also a desert people , one of seven groups who formerly called themselves `` Azteca '' , in memory of Aztlán , but they changed their name after years of migrating . Since they were not from the Valley of Mexico , they were initially seen as crude and unrefined in the ways of Nahua civilization . Through political maneuvers and ferocious fighting skills , they managed to become the rulers of Mexico as the head of the ' Triple Alliance ' ( which included two other `` Aztec '' cities , Texcoco and Tlacopan ) . Latecomers to Mexico 's central plateau , the Mexica thought of themselves , nevertheless , as heirs of the civilizations that had preceded them . For them , arts , sculpture , architecture , engraving , feather - mosaic work , and the calendar , were bequest from the former inhabitants of Tula , the Toltecs . The Mexica - Aztecs were the rulers of much of central Mexico by about 1400 ( while Yaquis , Coras and Apaches commanded sizable regions of northern desert ) , having subjugated most of the other regional states by the 1470s . At their peak , 300,000 Mexica presided over a wealthy tribute - empire variously estimated at 5 -- 8 million people in total a population of 8 -- 12 millions . The actual population is never more than an estimate . The modern name `` Mexico '' comes from their name . Their capital , Tenochtitlan , is the site of modern - day capital of Mexico , Mexico City . At its peak , it was one of the largest cities in the world with population estimates of 200 -- 300,000 . The market established there was the largest ever seen by the conquistadors on arrival . South America ( edit ) Main articles : Pre-Columbian Peru , Inca Empire , and Muisca Confederation See also : Andean civilizations Geoglyphs on deforested land in the Amazon rainforest By the first millennium , South America 's vast rainforests , mountains , plains , and coasts were the home of millions of people . Estimates vary , but 30 -- 50 million are often given and 100 million by some estimates . Some groups formed permanent settlements . Among those groups were Chibcha - speaking peoples ( `` Muisca '' or `` Muysca '' ) , Valdivia , Quimbaya , Calima and the Tairona . The Muisca of Colombia , postdating the Herrera Period , Valdivia of Ecuador , the Quechuas and the Aymara of Peru and Bolivia were the four most important sedentary Amerindian groups in South America . From the 1970s , numerous geoglyphs have been discovered on deforested land in the Amazon rainforest , Brazil , supporting Spanish accounts of a complex , possibly ancient Amazonian civilization . The theory of pre-Columbian contact across the South Pacific Ocean between South America and Polynesia has received support from several lines of evidence , although solid confirmation remains elusive . A diffusion by human agents has been put forward to explain the pre-Columbian presence in Oceania of several cultivated plant species native to South America , such as the bottle gourd ( Lagenaria siceraria ) or sweet potato ( Ipomoea batatas ) . Direct archaeological evidence for such pre-Columbian contacts and transport have not emerged . Similarities noted in names of edible roots in Maori and Ecuadorian languages ( `` kumari '' ) and Melanesian and Chilean ( `` gaddu '' ) have been inconclusive . A 2007 paper published in PNAS put forward DNA and archaeological evidence that domesticated chickens had been introduced into South America via Polynesia by late pre-Columbian times . These findings were challenged by a later study published in the same journal , that cast doubt on the dating calibration used and presented alternative mtDNA analyses that disagreed with a Polynesian genetic origin . The origin and dating remains an open issue . Whether or not early Polynesian -- American exchanges occurred , no compelling human - genetic , archaeological , cultural or linguistic legacy of such contact has turned up . Norte Chico or Caral ( edit ) Main article : Norte Chico civilization The ancient city of Caral On the north - central coast of present - day Peru , Norte Chico or Caral ( as known in Peru ) was a civilization that emerged around 3000 BCE ( contemporary with urbanism 's rise in Mesopotamia . ) It is considered one of the six cradles of civilization in the world . It had a cluster of large - scale urban settlements of which the Sacred City of Caral , in the Supe valley , is one of the largest and best studied sites . Norte Chico or Caral is the oldest known civilization in the Americas and persisted until around 1800 BCE . Valdivia ( edit ) Main article : Valdivia culture The Valdivia culture was concentrated on the coast of Ecuador . Their existence was recently discovered by archeological findings . Their culture is among the oldest found in the Americas , spanning from 3500 to 1800 BCE . The Valdivia lived in a community of houses built in a circle or oval around a central plaza . They were sedentary people who lived off farming and fishing , though occasionally they hunted for deer . From the remains that have been found , scholars have determined that Valdivians cultivated maize , kidney beans , squash , cassava , hot peppers , and cotton plants , the last of which was used to make clothing . Valdivian pottery initially was rough and practical , but it became showy , delicate , and big over time . They generally used red and gray colors ; and the polished dark red pottery is characteristic of the Valdivia period . In its ceramics and stone works , the Valdivia culture shows a progression from the most simple to much more complicated works . Cañaris ( edit ) Main article : Cañari The Cañari were the indigenous natives of today 's Ecuadorian provinces of Cañar and Azuay . They were an elaborate civilization with advanced architecture and complex religious beliefs . The Inca destroyed and burned most of their remains . The Cañari 's old city was replaced twice , first by the Incan city of Tumebamba and later on the same site by the colonial city of Cuenca . The city was also believed to be the site of El Dorado , the city of gold from the mythology of Colombia . ( see Cuenca ) The Cañari were most notable for having repelled the Incan invasion with fierce resistance for many years until they fell to Tupac Yupanqui . Many of their descendants are still present in Cañar . The majority did not mix with the colonists or become Mestizos . Larco Museum houses the largest private collection of pre-Columbian art . Lima , Peru . Chavín ( edit ) Main article : Chavín culture The Chavín , a South American preliterate civilization , established a trade network and developed agriculture by 900 BCE , according to some estimates and archeological finds . Artifacts were found at a site called Chavín in modern Peru at an elevation of 3,177 meters . The Chavín civilization spanned from 900 to 300 BCE . Muisca ( edit ) Main article : Muisca people The Chibcha - speaking communities were the most numerous , the most territorially extended and the most socio - economically developed of the pre-Hispanic Colombians . By the 8th century , the indigenous people had established their civilization in the northern Andes . At one point , the Chibchas occupied part of what is now Panama , and the high plains of the Eastern Sierra of Colombia . The areas which they occupied in Colombia were the present - day Departments of Santander ( North and South ) , Boyacá and Cundinamarca . This is where the first farms and industries were developed . It is also where the independence movement originated . They are currently the richest areas in Colombia . The Chibcha developed the most populous zone between the Mayan and Inca empires . Next to the Quechua of Peru and the Aymara in Bolivia , the Chibcha of the eastern and north - eastern Highlands of Colombia developed the most notable culture among the sedentary indigenous peoples in South America . In the Colombian Andes , the Chibcha comprised several tribes who spoke similar languages ( Chibcha ) . They included the following : the Muisca , Guane , Lache , Cofán , and Chitareros . Moche ( edit ) Main article : Moche culture The Moche thrived on the north coast of Peru from about 100 to 800 CE . The heritage of the Moche is seen in their elaborate burials . Some were recently excavated by UCLA 's Christopher B. Donnan in association with the National Geographic Society . As skilled artisans , the Moche were a technologically advanced people . They traded with distant peoples such as the Maya . What has been learned about the Moche is based on study of their ceramic pottery ; the carvings reveal details of their daily lives . The Larco Museum of Lima , Peru has an extensive collection of such ceramics . They show that the people practiced human sacrifice , had blood - drinking rituals , and that their religion incorporated non-procreative sexual practices ( such as fellatio ) . Tiwanaku empire ( edit ) Main article : Tiwanaku empire Gate of the Sun in Tiwanaku The Tiwanaku empire was based in western Bolivia and extended into present - day Peru and Chile from 300 to 1000 . Tiwanaku is recognized by Andean scholars as one of the most important South American civilizations prior to the Inca Empire ; it was the ritual and administrative capital of a major state power for approximately five hundred years . The ruins of the ancient city state are near the south - eastern shore of Lake Titicaca in Tiwanaku Municipality , Ingavi Province , La Paz Department , about 72 kilometres ( 45 mi ) west of La Paz . Inca empire ( edit ) Main article : Inca Empire Holding their capital at the great cougar - shaped city of Cuzco , the Inca civilization dominated the Andes region from 1438 to 1533 . Known as Tawantinsuyu , or `` the land of the four regions '' , in Quechua , the Inca civilization was highly distinct and developed . Inca rule extended to nearly a hundred linguistic or ethnic communities , some 9 to 14 million people connected by a 40,000 kilometer road system . Cities were built with precise stonework , constructed over many levels of mountain terrain . Terrace farming was a useful form of agriculture . There is evidence of excellent metalwork and even successful brain surgery in Inca civilization . The iconic Machu Picchu , symbol of the Inca civilization . Cambeba ( edit ) Main article : Cambeba people Also known as the Omagua , Umana and Kambeba , the Cambeba are an indigenous people in Brazil 's Amazon basin . The Cambeba were a populous , organized society in the late Pre-Columbian era whose population suffered steep decline in the early years of the Columbian Exchange . The Spanish explorer Francisco de Orellana traversed the Amazon River during the 16th century and reported densely populated regions running hundreds of kilometers along the river . These populations left no lasting monuments , possibly because they used local wood as their construction material as stone was not locally available . While it is possible Orellana may have exaggerated the level of development among the Amazonians , their semi-nomadic descendants have the odd distinction among tribal indigenous societies of a hereditary , yet landless , aristocracy . Archaeological evidence has revealed the continued presence of semi-domesticated orchards , as well as vast areas of land enriched with terra preta . Both of these discoveries , along with Cambeba ceramics discovered within the same archaeological levels suggest that a large and organized civilization existed in the area . Agricultural development ( edit ) See also : Columbian Exchange and List of pre-Columbian engineering projects in the Americas Early inhabitants of the Americas developed agriculture , developing and breeding maize ( corn ) from ears 2 -- 5 cm in length to the current size are familiar today . Potatoes , tomatoes , tomatillos ( a husked green tomato ) , pumpkins , chili peppers , squash , beans , pineapple , sweet potatoes , the grains quinoa and amaranth , cocoa beans , vanilla , onion , peanuts , strawberries , raspberries , blueberries , blackberries , papaya , and avocados were among other plants grown by natives . Over two - thirds of all types of food crops grown worldwide are native to the Americas . The natives began using fire in a widespread manner . Intentional burning of vegetation was taken up to mimic the effects of natural fires that tended to clear forest understories , thereby making travel easier and facilitating the growth of herbs and berry - producing plants that were important for both food and medicines . This created the Pre-Columbian savannas of North America . While not as widespread as in other areas of the world ( Asia , Africa , Europe ) , indigenous Americans did have livestock . Domesticated turkeys were common in Mesoamerica and in some regions of North America ; they were valued for their meat , feathers , and , possibly , eggs . There is documentation of Mesoamericans utilizing hairless dogs , especially the Xoloitzcuintle breed , for their meat . Andean societies had llamas and alpacas for meat and wool , as well as for beasts of burden . Guinea pigs were raised for meat in the Andes . Iguanas and a range of wild animals , such as deer and pecari , were another source of meat in Mexico , Central , and northern South America . By the 15th century , maize had been transmitted from Mexico and was being farmed in the Mississippi embayment , as far as the East Coast of the United States , and as far north as southern Canada . Potatoes were utilized by the Inca , and chocolate was used by the Aztecs . Genetics ( edit ) Schematic illustration of maternal ( mtDNA ) gene - flow in and out of Beringia , from 25,000 years ago to present . Main article : Genetic history of indigenous peoples of the Americas See also : Y - DNA haplogroups in Indigenous peoples of the Americas The haplogroup most commonly associated with Indigenous Amerindian genetics is Haplogroup Q1a3a ( Y - DNA ) . Y - DNA , like mtDNA , differs from other nuclear chromosomes in that the majority of the Y chromosome is unique and does not recombine during meiosis . This has the effect that the historical pattern of mutations can easily be studied . The pattern indicates Indigenous Amerindians experienced two very distinctive genetic episodes ; first with the initial - peopling of the Americas , and secondly with European colonization of the Americas . The former is the determinant factor for the number of gene lineages and founding haplotypes present in today 's Indigenous Amerindian populations . Human settlement of the New World occurred in stages from the Bering sea coast line , with an initial 20,000 - year layover on Beringia for the founding population . The micro-satellite diversity and distributions of the Y lineage specific to South America indicates that certain Amerindian populations have been isolated since the initial colonization of the region . The Na - Dené , Inuit and Indigenous Alaskan populations exhibit haplogroup Q - M242 ( Y - DNA ) mutations , however are distinct from other indigenous Amerindians with various mtDNA mutations . This suggests that the earliest migrants into the northern extremes of North America and Greenland derived from later populations .

Haplogroups are defined by unique mutation events such as single nucleotide polymorphisms , or SNPs . These SNPs mark the branch of a haplogroup , and indicate that all descendents of that haplogroup at one time shared a common ancestor . The Y - DNA SNP mutations were passed from father to son over thousands of years . Over time , additional SNPs occur within a haplogroup , leading to new lineages . These new lineages are considered subclades of the haplogroup . Each time a new mutation occurs , there is a new branch in the haplogroup , and therefore a new subclade . Haplogroup Q , possibly the youngest of the 20 Y - chromosome haplogroups , originated with the SNP mutation M242 in a man from Haplogroup P that likely lived in Siberia approximately 15,000 to 20,000 years before present Jump up ^ Viegas , Jennifer . `` First Americans Endured 20,000 - Year Layover '' .

The relatively lower coalescence time of the entire haplogroup A2 including the shared sub-arctic branches A2b ( Siberians and Inuit ) and A2a ( Eskimos and Na - Dené ) is probably due to secondary expansions of haplogroup A2 from the Beringia area , which would have averaged the overall internal variation of haplogroup A2 in North America .

what kind of clothes did the maya wear | [

] | https://en.wikipedia.org//w/index.php?title=Maya_textiles&oldid=813981459 | Maya textiles - wikipedia Maya textiles Jump to : navigation , search Maya textiles are the clothing and other textile arts of the Maya peoples , indigenous peoples of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico , Guatemala , Honduras , El Salvador and Belize . Women have traditionally created textiles in Maya society , and textiles were a significant form of ancient Maya art and religious beliefs . They were considered a prestige good that would distinguish the commoners from the elite . According to Brumfiel , some of the earliest weaving found in Mesoamerica can date back to around 1000 - 800 B.C.E. Contents ( hide ) 1 Materials 2 Process 3 Traditional pre-contact attire 4 Huipil 5 Hair sash 6 Ideological aspects 7 Legislative Protection 8 Current Day Textiles 9 See also 10 Notes 11 References 12 External links Materials ( edit ) Ancient Maya women had two natural types of cotton to work with , one white and the other light brown , called cuyuscate , both of which were commonly dyed . The preparation of cotton for spinning was very burdensome , as it had to be washed and picked clean of seeds . The cotton was usually associated with the elites . Elite women were also given the opportunity to work with the most expensive feathers and pearl beads . However , women of the elite not only had to prepare the best clothing for their families , but they also had to be talented in weaving tapestry , brocade , embroidery , and tie - dyeing for tribute to other families and rulers . Weavers had three different natural dyes to work with . Women also worked with maguey . This fiber was , `` another commonly spun material , and depending on the species used and the number of production steps , it could produce either cluded human and animal hair ( rabbit and dog ) , feathers , and vegetable fibers such as milkweed and chichicastle , a fibrous nettle native to Southern México , also known as mala mujer . '' Maguey was of major value as a cordage material used for horse gear , nets , hammocks and bags . Until the nineteenth century , most dyed threads were naturally dyed but now in current times , Guatemalan weavers prefer and heavily rely on `` commercial and handspun yarns dyed with mollusk dye . '' As stated by Brumfiel , the use of these easier to acquire materials , `` reduces the time needed for cloth production by two - thirds to three - quarters ... , making it possible for weavers to devote more time to the actual weaving process '' when using a backstrap loom . Instead focusing most of their time on creating the dyes and dyeing the cotton or maguey now , mollusk dye or acrylic thread threads speed - up the overall process . Another reason for using chemically dyed threads is because the , `` colors are brighter and do not fade with wear , washing and exposure to the sun as readily as do naturally dyed threads . '' Process ( edit ) In woven textiles , the first step is preparing fiber , which can come from plants , such as cotton or maguey , or animals , such as wool from sheep . In Mesoamerica , only plant fibers were available before European contact . The loose fibers are spun into threads by hand , with spindles , a long stick - like device for holding the thread , and whorls , a weight held on the spindle to increase its motion . There were two kinds of looms used for weaving , `` the foot loom and the back - strap loom . The latter is almost invariably used by women , who attach one end of the loom to a tree or post and fix the other end behind their lower back . For this reason the width of the textile is constrained by what the particular woman can manage . Until the fairly recent past , foot looms were operated mostly by men , but this practice is changing . The threads are made of cotton , although silk is frequently interwoven with cotton in textiles destined for ceremonial use . '' In the pre-Columbian era , Mayan women exclusively wove with backstrap looms , that use sticks and straps worn around one 's waist to create tension . As written by Mahler : The backstrap loom , in use before European contact and still used by some weavers today , can not even exist on its own without the support of a convenient upright at one end and the weaver 's body at the other . The weaver controls the tension by the direction in which she moves her body , and opens and closes the sheds in which weft threads are inserted by lifting heddles , placing and rotating the wooden batten , and using other hand - held implements as needed ... ' The loom itself appears to be a simple device . When the cloth is completed , nothing remains of the loom except a pile of sticks ' , yet studies of this technology have argued that it is really ' a complex device , more responsive to the weaver 's creative impulses than the modern treadle loom ' ... introduced into the region by the Spanish . After European contact , treadle looms were introduced , although backstrap looms continue to be popular . There had to be specific bodily discipline , like stillness , balance and kneeling for a long time , in order to use the backstrap looms correctly which would end up defining , `` the proper physical comportment for women . '' Bone picks were used before contact and were unique in that they had different designs for most families and were usually passed on from generation to generation with the elite having the most expensive and beautiful . Traditional pre-contact attire ( edit ) Maya civilization People Society Languages Writing Religion Mythology Sacrifice Cities Architecture Astronomy Calendar Stelae Art Textiles Trade Music Dance Medicine Cuisine Warfare History Preclassic Maya Classic Maya collapse Spanish conquest of the Maya Yucatán Chiapas Guatemala Petén In the Maya civilization , a man 's typical dress was a cotton breechcloth wrapped around his waist and sometimes a sleeveless shirt , either white or dyed in colours . In the twentieth century traditional male attire was characterized by some articles that were specific to a couple of towns , this included : a saco ( wool jacket ) or capixaij ( tunic ) , pantalones ( trousers ) , camisa ( shirt ) , belt or banda ( sash ) , and rodillera ( wool hip cloth ) . A woman typically wore a traje , which combined a huipil and a corte , a woven wraparound skirt that reached her ankles . The traje was held together with a faja or sash worn at the waist . Both women and men wore sandals . When the weather was temperate , Mayan clothing was needed less as protection from the elements and more for personal adornment . Maya clerics and other dignitaries wore elaborate outfits with jewellery . Maya farmers wore minimal clothing . Men wore plain loincloths or a band of cloth winded around their waists . Some wore moccasins made of deerhide . Women possessed two items of clothing : a length of ornamented material with holes made for the arms and head , known as a kub . Both genders wore a heavier rectangle of cloth , as a manta , that functioned as an overwrap on cool days , and as blanket at night . The manta also served as a blind across the door . Huipil ( edit ) The most prevalent and influential aspect of women 's clothing in ancient times is the huipil , which is still prominent in Guatemalan and Mexican culture today . The huipil is a loose rectangular garment with a hole in the middle for the head made from lightweight sheer cotton . The huipil is usually white with colorful cross-stripping and zigzag designs woven into the cloth using the brocade technique still commonly used today . The huipil could be worn loose or tucked into a skirt ; this depends on the varying lengths of the huipil . Huipils often are used to display one 's religion and / or community affiliation . Different communities tend to have different designs , colors , and lengths as well as particular huipils for ceremonial purposes . It was uncommon and often disgraceful to wear a huipil design from another community within one 's village ; although , it was a sign of respect to wear a community 's huipil when visiting another village . Textiles produced by weavers within Mayan communities tend to have similar recognizable traits unique to that community , however , weavers are not restricted in their creativity . Instead the community design serves as an outline for what women should have , and then within the community design , weavers can implement a variety of personal details to create an individual finished product . One common theme is to express praise to different kiuggkes animals around the collar . Hair sash ( edit ) Detail of hair sash being brocaded on a Jakaltek Maya backstrap loom . The hair sash is often the only part of the traditional outfit that is still locally woven by women on a backstrap loom . Each ethnic group not only has their own way of wearing the hair sash interlaced or wrapped around their long hair , but colours , motifs , widths , and the manner of setting up the loom and incorporating the geometric and figurative designs into the cloth are distinct . Elaborate hair sashes woven of finer thread with more complex imagery are worn on special occasions . Ideological aspects ( edit ) Classic Maya clothing displays its full variety in the context of religious performance . The deities themselves and their human impersonators were recognizable by their dress . A good example of this is the Tonsured Maize God , who wore a netted over-skirt consisting of green jade beads and a belt consisting of a large spondylus shell covering the loins , and who was repeatedly impersonated by the king as well as the queen . Legislative protection ( edit ) In 2011 , Efrain Asij , President of Guatemala 's Commission for Culture , proposed legislative changes in favor of protecting textiles produced by indigenous communities . He touted the textiles ' economic value to the women of these Mayan communities , as well as the cultural heritage represented in these designs . Asij stated that traditional woven Mayan designs are in danger of losing their cultural significance and economic value because of piracy and counterfeit production of Mayan garments . He calls for the creation of schools designed to create the next generation of Guatemalan weavers , in order to ensure that this ancient and sacred art continues to be valued.. He also proposes that a study be conducted that would track sales of Mayan garments , specifically to locate problems of exploitation of their designs and how these designs are sold . Asij also proposed that Mayan communities be allowed to import their manufacturing equipment tax - free . Mayan communities could also purchase advertising , and export their textiles from Guatemala tax - free as well . All Departments of Guatemala 's government are expected to promote and participate in the protection of traditional Mayan textile production . In 2016 , legislative changes were presented to Guatemala 's national government by the National Movement of Maya Weavers , a coalition of weavers from all over Guatemala. 30 Weaving Co-Operatives from 18 linguistic communities in Guatemala are supporting the movement which is led by the Women 's Association for Development of Sacatepequez , known in its Spanish acronym as AFEDES . They argue that corporations have been exploiting their culture by mass producing their designs which ultimately devalues and degrades their sacredness , and they are calling for revamped legislative protection that grants each Mayan community collective intellectual ownership of their traditional designs . Current day textiles ( edit ) In current day Mayan textiles , much has changed in the fields of design , technique , and materials . The Kaqchikel and K'iche ' are two specific ethnic - linguistic groups that still have strong weaving traditions . According to Schevill , `` field studies reveal that many of the design decisions which a weaver must make in producing a garment are spontaneous . Often the only conscious decision made prior to beginning the weaving process is the selection of the colors for the background fabric . '' Patterns would signify specific ethnic groups and social status but now a days the patterns are less strict and more creativity filled . For other groups , `` local tradition dictates at least the overall composition of garments . Although deviation from these aesthetic norms is not strictly forbidden , it does leave the weaver open to ridicule or gossip . Apart from more freehand designs new materials are being introduced into the textiles . For example textiles now , `` include the use of imported rickrack , ribbons , metallic threads , variegated embroidery floss , and velvet edgings on hand - loomed garments . All of these can be seen as inventive free - play on the part of the indigenous artist . '' The Mayan women , weavers of textiles , are the ones who , for the most part , stick to tradition and wear the trajes . The Mayan men have declined in their usage of traditional mayan clothing mainly because they want to avoid ladino harassment while , `` women ... continue to wear indigenous styles of clothing to symbolize their work of bearing and enculturating the next generation and thus perpetuating Mayan culture .

Water fluoridation is the controlled addition of fluoride to a public water supply to reduce tooth decay . Fluoridated water contains fluoride at a level that is effective for preventing cavities ; this can occur naturally or by adding fluoride . Fluoridated water operates on tooth surfaces : in the mouth , it creates low levels of fluoride in saliva , which reduces the rate at which tooth enamel demineralizes and increases the rate at which it remineralizes in the early stages of cavities . Typically a fluoridated compound is added to drinking water , a process that in the U.S. costs an average of about $1.06 per person - year . Defluoridation is needed when the naturally occurring fluoride level exceeds recommended limits . In 2011 the World Health Organization suggested a level of fluoride from 0.5 to 1.5 mg / L ( milligrams per litre ) , depending on climate , local environment , and other sources of fluoride . Bottled water typically has unknown fluoride levels . Dental caries remains a major public health concern in most industrialized countries , affecting 60 -- 90 % of schoolchildren and the vast majority of adults . Water fluoridation reduces cavities in children , while efficacy in adults is less clear . A Cochrane review estimates a reduction in cavities when water fluoridation was used by children who had no access to other sources of fluoride to be 35 % in baby teeth and 26 % in permanent teeth . The evidence quality was poor . Most European countries have experienced substantial declines in tooth decay without its use . Recent studies suggest that water fluoridation , particularly in industrialized nations , may be unnecessary because topical fluorides ( such as in toothpaste ) are widely used , and caries rates have become low . Although fluoridation can cause dental fluorosis , which can alter the appearance of developing teeth or enamel fluorosis , the differences are mild and usually not considered to be of aesthetic or public health concern . There is no clear evidence of other adverse effects from water fluoridation . Fluoride 's effects depend on the total daily intake of fluoride from all sources . Drinking water is typically the largest source ; other methods of fluoride therapy include fluoridation of toothpaste , salt , and milk . The views on the most efficient method for community prevention of tooth decay are mixed . The Australian government states that water fluoridation is the most effective way to achieve fluoride exposure that is community - wide . The World Health Organization reports that water fluoridation , when feasible and culturally acceptable , has substantial advantages , especially for subgroups at high risk , while the European Commission finds no benefit to water fluoridation compared with topical use . Public water fluoridation was first practiced in the U.S. As of 2012 , 25 countries have artificial water fluoridation to varying degrees , 11 of them have more than 50 % of their population drinking fluoridated water . A further 28 countries have water that is naturally fluoridated , though in many of them the fluoride is above the recommended safe level . As of 2012 , about 435 million people worldwide received water fluoridated at the recommended level ( i.e. , about 5.4 % of the global population ) . About 214 million of them living in the United States . Major health organizations such as the World Health Organization and FDI World Dental Federation supported water fluoridation as safe and effective . The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists water fluoridation as one of the ten great public health achievements of the 20th century in the U.S. Despite this , the practice is controversial as a public health measure ; some countries and communities have discontinued it , while others have expanded it . Opponents of the practice argue that neither the benefits nor the risks have been studied adequately , and debate the conflict between what might be considered mass medication and individual liberties .

The goal of water fluoridation is to prevent tooth decay by adjusting the concentration of fluoride in public water supplies . Tooth decay ( dental caries ) is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases worldwide . Although it is rarely life - threatening , tooth decay can cause pain and impair eating , speaking , facial appearance , and acceptance into society , and it greatly affects the quality of life of children , particularly those of low socioeconomic status . In most industrialized countries , tooth decay affects 60 -- 90 % of schoolchildren and the vast majority of adults ; although the problem appears to be less in Africa 's developing countries , it is expected to increase in several countries there because of changing diet and inadequate fluoride exposure . In the U.S. , minorities and the poor both have higher rates of decayed and missing teeth , and their children have less dental care . Once a cavity occurs , the tooth 's fate is that of repeated restorations , with estimates for the median life of an amalgam tooth filling ranging from 9 to 14 years . Oral disease is the fourth most expensive disease to treat . The motivation for fluoridation of salt or water is similar to that of iodized salt for the prevention of intellectual disabilitiy and goiter . The goal of water fluoridation is to prevent a chronic disease whose burdens particularly fall on children and the poor . Another of the goals was to bridge inequalities in dental health and dental care . Some studies suggest that fluoridation reduces oral health inequalities between the rich and poor , but the evidence is limited . There is anecdotal but not scientific evidence that fluoride allows more time for dental treatment by slowing the progression of tooth decay , and that it simplifies treatment by causing most cavities to occur in pits and fissures of teeth . Other reviews have found not enough evidence to determine if water fluoridation reduces oral - health social disparities . Health and dental organizations worldwide have endorsed its safety and effectiveness . Its use began in 1945 , following studies of children in a region where higher levels of fluoride occur naturally in the water . Further research showed that moderate fluoridation prevents tooth decay . Implementation Fluoride monitor ( at left ) in a community water tower pumphouse , Minnesota , 1987 Fluoridation does not affect the appearance , taste , or smell of drinking water . It is normally accomplished by adding one of three compounds to the water : sodium fluoride , fluorosilicic acid , or sodium fluorosilicate . Sodium fluoride ( NaF ) was the first compound used and is the reference standard . It is a white , odorless powder or crystal ; the crystalline form is preferred if manual handling is used , as it minimizes dust . It is more expensive than the other compounds , but is easily handled and is usually used by smaller utility companies . It is toxic in gram quantities by ingestion or inhalation . Fluorosilicic acid ( H SiF ) is the most commonly used additive for water fluoridation in the United States . It is an inexpensive liquid by - product of phosphate fertilizer manufacture . It comes in varying strengths , typically 23 -- 25 % ; because it contains so much water , shipping can be expensive . It is also known as hexafluorosilicic , hexafluosilicic , hydrofluosilicic , and silicofluoric acid . Sodium fluorosilicate ( Na SiF ) is the sodium salt of fluorosilicic acid . It is a powder or very fine crystal that is easier to ship than fluorosilicic acid . It is also known as sodium silicofluoride . These compounds were chosen for their solubility , safety , availability , and low cost . A 1992 census found that , for U.S. public water supply systems reporting the type of compound used , 63 % of the population received water fluoridated with fluorosilicic acid , 28 % with sodium fluorosilicate , and 9 % with sodium fluoride . Recommendations The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention developed recommendations for water fluoridation that specify requirements for personnel , reporting , training , inspection , monitoring , surveillance , and actions in case of overfeed , along with technical requirements for each major compound used . Although fluoride was once considered an essential nutrient , the U.S. National Research Council has since removed this designation due to the lack of studies showing it is essential for human growth , though still considering fluoride a `` beneficial element '' due to its positive impact on oral health . The European Food Safety Authority 's Panel on Dietetic Products , Nutrition and Allergies ( NDA ) considers fluoride not to be an essential nutrient , yet , due to the beneficial effects of dietary fluoride on prevention of dental caries they have defined an Adequate Intake ( AI ) value for it . The AI of fluoride from all sources ( including non-dietary sources ) is 0.05 mg / kg body weight per day for both children and adults , including pregnant and lactating women . In 2011 , the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ( HHS ) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) lowered the recommended level of fluoride to 0.7 mg / L. In 2015 , the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) , based on the recommendation of the U.S. Public Health Service ( PHS ) for fluoridation of community water systems , recommended that bottled water manufacturers limit fluoride in bottled water to no more than 0.7 milligrams per liter ( mg / L ) ( milligrams per liter , equivalent to parts per million ) . Previous recommendations were based on evaluations from 1962 , when the U.S. specified the optimal level of fluoride to range from 0.7 to 1.2 mg / L ( milligrams per liter , equivalent to parts per million ) , depending on the average maximum daily air temperature ; the optimal level is lower in warmer climates , where people drink more water , and is higher in cooler climates . These standards are not appropriate for all parts of the world , where fluoride levels might be excessive and fluoride should be removed from water , and is based on assumptions that have become obsolete with the rise of air conditioning and increased use of soft drinks , processed food , fluoridated toothpaste , and other sources of fluorides . In 2011 the World Health Organization stated that 1.5 mg / L should be an absolute upper bound and that 0.5 mg / L may be an appropriate lower limit . A 2007 Australian systematic review recommended a range from 0.6 to 1.1 mg / L . Geographical areas associated with groundwater having over 1.5 mg / L of naturally occurring fluoride , which is above recommended levels . Detail of southern Arizona . Areas in darker blues have groundwater with over 2 mg / L of naturally occurring fluoride . Occurrences Fluoride naturally occurring in water can be above , at , or below recommended levels . Rivers and lakes generally contain fluoride levels less than 0.5 mg / L , but groundwater , particularly in volcanic or mountainous areas , can contain as much as 50 mg / L. Higher concentrations of fluorine are found in alkaline volcanic , hydrothermal , sedimentary , and other rocks derived from highly evolved magmas and hydrothermal solutions , and this fluorine dissolves into nearby water as fluoride . In most drinking waters , over 95 % of total fluoride is the F ion , with the magnesium -- fluoride complex ( MgF ) being the next most common . Because fluoride levels in water are usually controlled by the solubility of fluorite ( CaF ) , high natural fluoride levels are associated with calcium - deficient , alkaline , and soft waters . Defluoridation is needed when the naturally occurring fluoride level exceeds recommended limits . It can be accomplished by percolating water through granular beds of activated alumina , bone meal , bone char , or tricalcium phosphate ; by coagulation with alum ; or by precipitation with lime . Pitcher or faucet - mounted water filters do not alter fluoride content ; the more - expensive reverse osmosis filters remove 65 -- 95 % of fluoride , and distillation removes all fluoride . Some bottled waters contain undeclared fluoride , which can be present naturally in source waters , or if water is sourced from a public supply which has been fluoridated . The FDA states that bottled water products labeled as de-ionized , purified , demineralized , or distilled have been treated in such a way that they contain no or only trace amounts of fluoride , unless they specifically list fluoride as an added ingredient . Evidence Existing evidence suggests that water fluoridation reduces tooth decay . Consistent evidence also suggests that it causes dental fluorosis , most of which is mild and not usually of aesthetic concern . No clear evidence of other adverse effects exists , though almost all research thereof has been of poor quality . Effectiveness Reviews have shown that water fluoridation reduces cavities in children . A conclusion for the efficacy in adults is less clear with some reviews finding benefit and others not . Studies in the U.S. in the 1950s and 1960s showed that water fluoridation reduced childhood cavities by fifty to sixty percent , while studies in 1989 and 1990 showed lower reductions ( 40 % and 18 % respectively ) , likely due to increasing use of fluoride from other sources , notably toothpaste , and also the ' halo effect ' of food and drink that is made in fluoridated areas and consumed in unfluoridated ones . A 2000 UK systematic review ( York ) found that water fluoridation was associated with a decreased proportion of children with cavities of 15 % and with a decrease in decayed , missing , and filled primary teeth ( average decreases was 2.25 teeth ) . The review found that the evidence was of moderate quality : few studies attempted to reduce observer bias , control for confounding factors , report variance measures , or use appropriate analysis . Although no major differences between natural and artificial fluoridation were apparent , the evidence was inadequate for a conclusion about any differences . A 2007 Australian systematic review used the same inclusion criteria as York 's , plus one additional study . This did not affect the York conclusions . A 2011 European Commission systematic review based its efficacy on York 's review conclusion . A 2015 Cochrane systematic review estimated a reduction in cavities when water fluoridation was used by children who had no access to other sources of fluoride to be 35 % in baby teeth and 26 % in permanent teeth . The evidence was of poor quality . Fluoride may also prevent cavities in adults of all ages . A 2007 meta - analysis by CDC researchers found that water fluoridation prevented an estimated 27 % of cavities in adults , about the same fraction as prevented by exposure to any delivery method of fluoride ( 29 % average ) . A 2011 European Commission review found that the benefits of water fluoridation for adult in terms of reductions in decay are limited . A 2015 Cochrane review found no conclusive research regarding the effectiveness of water fluoridation in adults . A 2016 review found variable quality evidence that , overall , stopping of community water fluoridation programs was typically followed by an increase in cavities . Most countries in Europe have experienced substantial declines in cavities without the use of water fluoridation . For example , in Finland and Germany , tooth decay rates remained stable or continued to decline after water fluoridation stopped . Fluoridation may be useful in the U.S. because unlike most European countries , the U.S. does not have school - based dental care , many children do not visit a dentist regularly , and for many U.S. children water fluoridation is the prime source of exposure to fluoride . The effectiveness of water fluoridation can vary according to circumstances such as whether preventive dental care is free to all children . Fluorosis A mild case of dental fluorosis , visible as white streaks on the subject 's upper right central incisor . Fluoride 's adverse effects depend on total fluoride dosage from all sources . At the commonly recommended dosage , the only clear adverse effect is dental fluorosis , which can alter the appearance of children 's teeth during tooth development ; this is mostly mild and is unlikely to represent any real effect on aesthetic appearance or on public health . In April 2015 , recommended fluoride levels in the United States were changed to 0.7 ppm from 0.7 -- 1.2 ppm to reduce the risk of dental fluorosis . The 2015 Cochrane review estimated that for a fluoride level of 0.7 ppm the percentage of participants with fluorosis of aesthetic concern was approximately 12 % . This increases to 40 % when considering fluorosis of any level not of aesthetic concern . In the US mild or very mild dental fluorosis has been reported in 20 % of the population , moderate fluorosis in 2 % and severe fluorosis in less than 1 % . The critical period of exposure is between ages one and four years , with the risk ending around age eight . Fluorosis can be prevented by monitoring all sources of fluoride , with fluoridated water directly or indirectly responsible for an estimated 40 % of risk and other sources , notably toothpaste , responsible for the remaining 60 % . Compared to water naturally fluoridated at 0.4 mg / L , fluoridation to 1 mg / L is estimated to cause additional fluorosis in one of every 6 people ( 95 % CI 4 -- 21 people ) , and to cause additional fluorosis of aesthetic concern in one of every 22 people ( 95 % CI 13.6 -- ∞ people ) . Here , aesthetic concern is a term used in a standardized scale based on what adolescents would find unacceptable , as measured by a 1996 study of British 14 - year - olds . In many industrialized countries the prevalence of fluorosis is increasing even in unfluoridated communities , mostly because of fluoride from swallowed toothpaste . A 2009 systematic review indicated that fluorosis is associated with consumption of infant formula or of water added to reconstitute the formula , that the evidence was distorted by publication bias , and that the evidence that the formula 's fluoride caused the fluorosis was weak . In the U.S. the decline in tooth decay was accompanied by increased fluorosis in both fluoridated and unfluoridated communities ; accordingly , fluoride has been reduced in various ways worldwide in infant formulas , children 's toothpaste , water , and fluoride - supplement schedules . Safety Fluoridation has little effect on risk of bone fracture ( broken bones ) ; it may result in slightly lower fracture risk than either excessively high levels of fluoridation or no fluoridation . There is no clear association between fluoridation and cancer or deaths due to cancer , both for cancer in general and also specifically for bone cancer and osteosarcoma . Other adverse effects lack sufficient evidence to reach a confident conclusion . Fluoride can occur naturally in water in concentrations well above recommended levels , which can have several long - term adverse effects , including severe dental fluorosis , skeletal fluorosis , and weakened bones ; water utilities in the developed world reduce fluoride levels to regulated maximum levels in regions where natural levels are high , and the WHO and other groups work with countries and regions in the developing world with naturally excessive fluoride levels to achieve safe levels . The World Health Organization recommends a guideline maximum fluoride value of 1.5 mg / L as a level at which fluorosis should be minimal . In rare cases improper implementation of water fluoridation can result in overfluoridation that causes outbreaks of acute fluoride poisoning , with symptoms that include nausea , vomiting , and diarrhea . Three such outbreaks were reported in the U.S. between 1991 and 1998 , caused by fluoride concentrations as high as 220 mg / L ; in the 1992 Alaska outbreak , 262 people became ill and one person died . In 2010 , approximately 60 gallons of fluoride were released into the water supply in Asheboro , North Carolina in 90 minutes -- an amount that was intended to be released in a 24 - hour period . Like other common water additives such as chlorine , hydrofluosilicic acid and sodium silicofluoride decrease pH and cause a small increase of corrosivity , but this problem is easily addressed by increasing the pH . Although it has been hypothesized that hydrofluosilicic acid and sodium silicofluoride might increase human lead uptake from water , a 2006 statistical analysis did not support concerns that these chemicals cause higher blood lead concentrations in children . Trace levels of arsenic and lead may be present in fluoride compounds added to water , but no credible evidence exists that their presence is of concern : concentrations are below measurement limits . The effect of water fluoridation on the natural environment has been investigated , and no adverse effects have been established . Issues studied have included fluoride concentrations in groundwater and downstream rivers ; lawns , gardens , and plants ; consumption of plants grown in fluoridated water ; air emissions ; and equipment noise . Mechanism Fluoride exerts its major effect by interfering with the demineralization mechanism of tooth decay . Tooth decay is an infectious disease , the key feature of which is an increase within dental plaque of bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus . These produce organic acids when carbohydrates , especially sugar , are eaten . When enough acid is produced to lower the pH below 5.5 , the acid dissolves carbonated hydroxyapatite , the main component of tooth enamel , in a process known as demineralization . After the sugar is gone , some of the mineral loss can be recovered -- or remineralized -- from ions dissolved in the saliva . Cavities result when the rate of demineralization exceeds the rate of remineralization , typically in a process that requires many months or years . Demineralization and remineralization of dental enamel in the presence of acid and fluoride in saliva and plaque fluid . All fluoridation methods , including water fluoridation , create low levels of fluoride ions in saliva and plaque fluid , thus exerting a topical or surface effect . A person living in an area with fluoridated water may experience rises of fluoride concentration in saliva to about 0.04 mg / L several times during a day . Technically , this fluoride does not prevent cavities but rather controls the rate at which they develop . When fluoride ions are present in plaque fluid along with dissolved hydroxyapatite , and the pH is higher than 4.5 , a fluorapatite - like remineralized veneer is formed over the remaining surface of the enamel ; this veneer is much more acid - resistant than the original hydroxyapatite , and is formed more quickly than ordinary remineralized enamel would be . The cavity - prevention effect of fluoride is mostly due to these surface effects , which occur during and after tooth eruption . Although some systemic ( whole - body ) fluoride returns to the saliva via blood plasma , and to unerupted teeth via plasma or crypt fluid , there is little data to determine what percentages of fluoride 's anticavity effect comes from these systemic mechanisms . Also , although fluoride affects the physiology of dental bacteria , its effect on bacterial growth does not seem to be relevant to cavity prevention . Fluoride 's effects depend on the total daily intake of fluoride from all sources . About 70 -- 90 % of ingested fluoride is absorbed into the blood , where it distributes throughout the body . In infants 80 -- 90 % of absorbed fluoride is retained , with the rest excreted , mostly via urine ; in adults about 60 % is retained . About 99 % of retained fluoride is stored in bone , teeth , and other calcium - rich areas , where excess quantities can cause fluorosis . Drinking water is typically the largest source of fluoride . In many industrialized countries swallowed toothpaste is the main source of fluoride exposure in unfluoridated communities . Other sources include dental products other than toothpaste ; air pollution from fluoride - containing coal or from phosphate fertilizers ; trona , used to tenderize meat in Tanzania ; and tea leaves , particularly the tea bricks favored in parts of China . High fluoride levels have been found in other foods , including barley , cassava , corn , rice , taro , yams , and fish protein concentrate . The U.S. Institute of Medicine has established Dietary Reference Intakes for fluoride : Adequate Intake values range from 0.01 mg / day for infants aged 6 months or less , to 4 mg / day for men aged 19 years and up ; and the Tolerable Upper Intake Level is 0.10 mg / kg / day for infants and children through age 8 years , and 10 mg / day thereafter . A rough estimate is that an adult in a temperate climate consumes 0.6 mg / day of fluoride without fluoridation , and 2 mg / day with fluoridation . However , these values differ greatly among the world 's regions : for example , in Sichuan , China the average daily fluoride intake is only 0.1 mg / day in drinking water but 8.9 mg / day in food and 0.7 mg / day directly from the air due to the use of high - fluoride soft coal for cooking and drying foodstuffs indoors . Alternatives Fluoride toothpaste is effective against cavities . It is widely used , but less so among the poor . Fluoridated iodized salt sold in Germany The views on the most effective method for community prevention of tooth decay are mixed . The Australian government review states that water fluoridation is the most effective means of achieving fluoride exposure that is community - wide . The European Commission review states `` No obvious advantage appears in favour of water fluoridation compared with topical prevention '' . Other fluoride therapies are also effective in preventing tooth decay ; they include fluoride toothpaste , mouthwash , gel , and varnish , and fluoridation of salt and milk . Dental sealants are effective as well , with estimates of prevented cavities ranging from 33 % to 86 % , depending on age of sealant and type of study . Fluoride toothpaste is the most widely used and rigorously evaluated fluoride treatment . Its introduction in the early 1970s is considered the main reason for the decline in tooth decay in industrialized countries , and toothpaste appears to be the single common factor in countries where tooth decay has declined . Toothpaste is the only realistic fluoride strategy in many low - income countries , where lack of infrastructure renders water or salt fluoridation infeasible . It relies on individual and family behavior , and its use is less likely among lower economic classes ; in low - income countries it is unaffordable for the poor . Fluoride toothpaste prevents about 25 % of cavities in young permanent teeth , and its effectiveness is improved if higher concentrations of fluoride are used , or if the toothbrushing is supervised . Fluoride mouthwash and gel are about as effective as fluoride toothpaste ; fluoride varnish prevents about 45 % of cavities . By comparison , brushing with a nonfluoride toothpaste has little effect on cavities . The effectiveness of salt fluoridation is about the same as that of water fluoridation , if most salt for human consumption is fluoridated . Fluoridated salt reaches the consumer in salt at home , in meals at school and at large kitchens , and in bread . For example , Jamaica has just one salt producer , but a complex public water supply ; it started fluoridating all salt in 1987 , achieving a decline in cavities . Universal salt fluoridation is also practiced in Colombia and the Swiss Canton of Vaud ; in Germany fluoridated salt is widely used in households but unfluoridated salt is also available , giving consumers a choice . Concentrations of fluoride in salt range from 90 to 350 mg / kg , with studies suggesting an optimal concentration of around 250 mg / kg . Milk fluoridation is practiced by the Borrow Foundation in some parts of Bulgaria , Chile , Peru , Russia , Macedonia , Thailand and the UK . Depending on location , the fluoride is added to milk , to powdered milk , or to yogurt . For example , milk powder fluoridation is used in rural Chilean areas where water fluoridation is not technically feasible . These programs are aimed at children , and have neither targeted nor been evaluated for adults . A systematic review found low - quality evidence to support the practice , but also concluded that further studies were needed . Other public - health strategies to control tooth decay , such as education to change behavior and diet , have lacked impressive results . Although fluoride is the only well - documented agent which controls the rate at which cavities develop , it has been suggested that adding calcium to the water would reduce cavities further . Other agents to prevent tooth decay include antibacterials such as chlorhexidine and sugar substitutes such as xylitol . Xylitol - sweetened chewing gum has been recommended as a supplement to fluoride and other conventional treatments if the gum is not too costly . Two proposed approaches , bacteria replacement therapy ( probiotics ) and caries vaccine , would share water fluoridation 's advantage of requiring only minimal patient compliance , but have not been proven safe and effective . Other experimental approaches include fluoridated sugar , polyphenols , and casein phosphopeptide -- amorphous calcium phosphate nanocomplexes . A 2007 Australian review concluded that water fluoridation is the most effective and socially the most equitable way to expose entire communities to fluoride 's cavity - prevention effects . A 2002 U.S. review estimated that sealants decreased cavities by about 60 % overall , compared to about 18 -- 50 % for fluoride . A 2007 Italian review suggested that water fluoridation may not be needed , particularly in the industrialized countries where cavities have become rare , and concluded that toothpaste and other topical fluoride are the best way to prevent cavities worldwide . A 2004 World Health Organization review stated that water fluoridation , when it is culturally acceptable and technically feasible , has substantial advantages in preventing tooth decay , especially for subgroups at high risk . Usage Main article : Fluoridation by country Percentage of population receiving fluoridated water , including both artificial and natural fluoridation , as of 2012 . 80 -- 100 % 60 -- 80 % 40 -- 60 % 20 -- 40 % 1 -- 20 % < 1 % unknown As of November 2012 , a total of about 378 million people worldwide received artificially fluoridated water . The majority of those were in the United States . About 40 million worldwide received water that was naturally fluoridated to recommended levels . Much of the early work on establishing the connection between fluoride and dental health was performed by scientists in the U.S. during the early 20th century , and the U.S. was the first country to implement public water fluoridation on a wide scale . It has been introduced to varying degrees in many countries and territories outside the U.S. , including Argentina , Australia , Brazil , Canada , Chile , Colombia , Hong Kong , Ireland , Israel , Korea , Malaysia , New Zealand , the Philippines , Serbia , Singapore , Spain , the UK , and Vietnam . In 2004 , an estimated 13.7 million people in western Europe and 194 million in the U.S. received artificially fluoridated water . In 2010 , about 66 % of the U.S. population was receiving fluoridated water . Naturally fluoridated water is used by approximately 4 % of the world 's population , in countries including Argentina , France , Gabon , Libya , Mexico , Senegal , Sri Lanka , Tanzania , the U.S. , and Zimbabwe . In some locations , notably parts of Africa , China , and India , natural fluoridation exceeds recommended levels . Communities have discontinued water fluoridation in some countries , including Finland , Germany , Japan , the Netherlands , and Switzerland . On August 26 , 2014 , Israel stopped mandating fluoridation , stating `` Only some 1 % of the water is used for drinking , while 99 % of the water is intended for other uses ( industry , agriculture , flushing toilets etc . ) . There is also scientific evidence that fluoride in large amounts can lead to damage to health . When fluoride is supplied via drinking water , there is no control regarding the amount of fluoride actually consumed , which could lead to excessive consumption . Supply of fluoridated water forces those who do not so wish to also consume water with added fluoride . This approach is therefore not accepted in most countries in the world . '' This change was often motivated by political opposition to water fluoridation , but sometimes the need for water fluoridation was met by alternative strategies . The use of fluoride in its various forms is the foundation of tooth decay prevention throughout Europe ; several countries have introduced fluoridated salt , with varying success : in Switzerland and Germany , fluoridated salt represents 65 % to 70 % of the domestic market , while in France the market share reached 60 % in 1993 but dwindled to 14 % in 2009 ; Spain , in 1986 the second West European country to introduce fluoridation of table salt , reported a market share in 2006 of only 10 % . In three other West European countries , Greece , Austria and the Netherlands , the legal framework for production and marketing of fluoridated edible salt exists . At least six Central European countries ( Hungary , the Czech and Slovak Republics , Croatia , Slovenia , Romania ) have shown some interest in salt fluoridation ; however , significant usage of approximately 35 % was only achieved in the Czech Republic . The Slovak Republic had the equipment to treat salt by 2005 ; in the other four countries attempts to introduce fluoridated salt were not successful . History See also : History of water supply and sanitation 1909 photograph by Frederick McKay of G.V. Black ( left ) , Isaac Burton and F.Y. Wilson , studying the Colorado brown stain . The history of water fluoridation can be divided into three periods . The first ( c. 1801 -- 1933 ) was research into the cause of a form of mottled tooth enamel called the Colorado brown stain . The second ( c. 1933 -- 1945 ) focused on the relationship between fluoride concentrations , fluorosis , and tooth decay , and established that moderate levels of fluoride prevent cavities . The third period , from 1945 on , focused on adding fluoride to community water supplies . In the first half of the 19th century , investigators established that fluoride occurs with varying concentrations in teeth , bone , and drinking water . In the second half they speculated that fluoride would protect against tooth decay , proposed supplementing the diet with fluoride , and observed mottled enamel ( now called severe dental fluorosis ) without knowing the cause . In 1874 , the German public health officer Carl Wilhelm Eugen Erhardt recommended potassium fluoride supplements to preserve teeth . In 1892 the British physician James Crichton - Browne noted in an address that fluoride 's absence from diets had resulted in teeth that were `` peculiarly liable to decay '' , and who proposed `` the reintroduction into our diet ... of fluorine in some suitable natural form ... to fortify the teeth of the next generation '' . The foundation of water fluoridation in the U.S. was the research of the dentist Frederick McKay ( 1874 -- 1959 ) . McKay spent thirty years investigating the cause of what was then known as the Colorado brown stain , which produced mottled but also cavity - free teeth ; with the help of G.V. Black and other researchers , he established that the cause was fluoride . The first report of a statistical association between the stain and lack of tooth decay was made by UK dentist Norman Ainsworth in 1925 . In 1931 , an Alcoa chemist , H.V. Churchill , concerned about a possible link between aluminum and staining , analyzed water from several areas where the staining was common and found that fluoride was the common factor . H. Trendley Dean set out in 1931 to study fluoride 's harm , but by 1950 had demonstrated the cavity - prevention effects of small amounts . In the 1930s and early 1940s , H. Trendley Dean and colleagues at the newly created U.S. National Institutes of Health published several epidemiological studies suggesting that a fluoride concentration of about 1 mg / L was associated with substantially fewer cavities in temperate climates , and that it increased fluorosis but only to a level that was of no medical or aesthetic concern . Other studies found no other significant adverse effects even in areas with fluoride levels as high as 8 mg / L. To test the hypothesis that adding fluoride would prevent cavities , Dean and his colleagues conducted a controlled experiment by fluoridating the water in Grand Rapids , Michigan , starting January 25 , 1945 . The results , published in 1950 , showed significant reduction of cavities . Significant reductions in tooth decay were also reported by important early studies outside the U.S. , including the Brantford -- Sarnia -- Stratford study in Canada ( 1945 -- 1962 ) , the Tiel -- Culemborg study in the Netherlands ( 1953 -- 1969 ) , the Hastings study in New Zealand ( 1954 -- 1970 ) , and the Department of Health study in the U.K. ( 1955 -- 1960 ) . By present - day standards these and other pioneering studies were crude , but the large reductions in cavities convinced public health professionals of the benefits of fluoridation . Fluoridation became an official policy of the U.S. Public Health Service by 1951 , and by 1960 water fluoridation had become widely used in the U.S. , reaching about 50 million people . By 2006 , 69.2 % of the U.S. population on public water systems were receiving fluoridated water , amounting to 61.5 % of the total U.S. population ; 3.0 % of the population on public water systems were receiving naturally occurring fluoride . In some other countries the pattern was similar . New Zealand , which led the world in per - capita sugar consumption and had the world 's worst teeth , began fluoridation in 1953 , and by 1968 fluoridation was used by 65 % of the population served by a piped water supply . Fluoridation was introduced into Brazil in 1953 , was regulated by federal law starting in 1974 , and by 2004 was used by 71 % of the population . In the Republic of Ireland , fluoridation was legislated in 1960 , and after a constitutional challenge the two major cities of Dublin and Cork began it in 1964 ; fluoridation became required for all sizeable public water systems and by 1996 reached 66 % of the population . In other locations , fluoridation was used and then discontinued : in Kuopio , Finland , fluoridation was used for decades but was discontinued because the school dental service provided significant fluoride programs and the cavity risk was low , and in Basel , Switzerland , it was replaced with fluoridated salt . McKay 's work had established that fluorosis occurred before tooth eruption . Dean and his colleagues assumed that fluoride 's protection against cavities was also pre-eruptive , and this incorrect assumption was accepted for years . By 2000 , however , the topical effects of fluoride ( in both water and toothpaste ) were well understood , and it had become known that a constant low level of fluoride in the mouth works best to prevent cavities . Economics Fluoridation costs an estimated $1.06 per person - year on the average ( range : $0.25 -- $11.19 ; all costs in this paragraph are for the U.S. and are in 2017 dollars , inflation - adjusted from earlier estimates ) . Larger water systems have lower per capita cost , and the cost is also affected by the number of fluoride injection points in the water system , the type of feeder and monitoring equipment , the fluoride chemical and its transportation and storage , and water plant personnel expertise . In affluent countries the cost of salt fluoridation is also negligible ; developing countries may find it prohibitively expensive to import the fluoride additive . By comparison , fluoride toothpaste costs an estimated $9 -- $18 per person - year , with the incremental cost being zero for people who already brush their teeth for other reasons ; and dental cleaning and application of fluoride varnish or gel costs an estimated $97 per person - year . Assuming the worst case , with the lowest estimated effectiveness and highest estimated operating costs for small cities , fluoridation costs an estimated $16 -- $25 per saved tooth - decay surface , which is lower than the estimated $95 to restore the surface and the estimated $162 average discounted lifetime cost of the decayed surface , which includes the cost to maintain the restored tooth surface . It is not known how much is spent in industrial countries to treat dental fluorosis , which is mostly due to fluoride from swallowed toothpaste . Although a 1989 workshop on cost - effectiveness of cavity prevention concluded that water fluoridation is one of the few public health measures that save more money than they cost , little high - quality research has been done on the cost - effectiveness and solid data are scarce . Dental sealants are cost - effective only when applied to high - risk children and teeth . A 2002 U.S. review estimated that on average , sealing first permanent molars saves costs when they are decaying faster than 0.47 surfaces per person - year whereas water fluoridation saves costs when total decay incidence exceeds 0.06 surfaces per person - year . In the U.S. , water fluoridation is more cost - effective than other methods to reduce tooth decay in children , and a 2008 review concluded that water fluoridation is the best tool for combating cavities in many countries , particularly among socially disadvantaged groups . A 2016 review of studies published between 1995 to 2013 found that water fluoridation in the U.S. was cost - effective , and that it was more so in larger communities . U.S. data from 1974 to 1992 indicate that when water fluoridation is introduced into a community , there are significant decreases in the number of employees per dental firm and the number of dental firms . The data suggest that some dentists respond to the demand shock by moving to non-fluoridated areas and by retraining as specialists . Controversy Main article : Water fluoridation controversy The water fluoridation controversy arises from political , moral , ethical , economic , and safety concerns regarding the water fluoridation of public water supplies . Public health authorities throughout the world state that water fluoridation at appropriate levels is a safe and effective means to prevent dental caries . Authorities ' views on the most effective fluoride therapy for community prevention of tooth decay are mixed ; some state water fluoridation is most effective , while others see no special advantage and prefer topical application strategies . Those opposed argue that water fluoridation has no or little cariostatic benefits , may cause serious health problems , is not effective enough to justify the costs , and pharmacologically obsolete , while some argue that the practice presents a conflict between the common good and individual rights .

World football transfer record ( edit ) It has been suggested that this section be split out into another article titled Association football transfer world record progression . ( Discuss ) ( October 2017 ) The first player to ever be transferred for a fee of over £ 100 was Scottish striker Willie Groves when he together with Jack Reynolds ( £ 50 ) made the switch from West Bromwich Albion to Aston Villa in 1893 , eight years after the legalisation of professionalism in the sport . It took just twelve years for the figure to become £ 1000 , when Sunderland striker Alf Common moved to Middlesbrough . It was not until 1928 that the first five - figure transfer took place . David Jack of Bolton Wanderers was the subject of interest from Arsenal , and in order to negotiate the fee down , Arsenal manager Herbert Chapman got the Bolton representatives drunk . Subsequently , David Jack was transferred for a world record fee when Arsenal paid £ 10,890 to Bolton for his services , after Bolton had asked for £ 13,000 , which was double the previous record made when Sunderland signed Burnley 's Bob Kelly a fee of for £ 6,500 . Diego Maradona , David Jack and Ronaldo are the only players to twice be transferred for world record fees . The first player from outside Great Britain to break the record was Bernabé Ferreyra , a player known as La Fiera for his powerful shot . His 1932 transfer from Tigre to River Plate cost £ 23k , and the record would last for 17 years ( the longest the record has lasted ) until it was broken by Manchester United 's sale of Johnny Morris to Derby County for £ 24k in March 1949 . The record was broken seven further times between 1949 and 1961 , when Luis Suárez Miramontes was sold by FC Barcelona to Inter Milan for £ 152k , becoming the first ever player sold for more than £ 100k . In 1968 , Pietro Anastasi became the first £ 500k player when Juventus purchased him from Varese , which was followed seven years later with Giuseppe Savoldi becoming the first million pound player when he transferred from Bologna to Napoli . The second player to twice be transferred for world record fees is Diego Maradona . His transfers from Boca Juniors to Barcelona for £ 3m , and then to Napoli for £ 5m , both broke the record in 1982 and 1984 respectively . The third became Ronaldo with his record - breaking move from PSV Eindhoven to Barcelona in 1996 for £ 13.2 m , although Alan Shearer 's transfer to Newcastle broke the record the same summer . A year later Inter Milan paid £ 19.5 m for Ronaldo and again he became the player with the highest transfer fee . In the space of 61 days in 1992 , three transfers broke the record , all by Italian clubs : Jean - Pierre Papin transferred from Marseille to A.C. Milan , becoming the first ever £ 10m player . Almost immediately , rivals Juventus topped that with the signing of Gianluca Vialli for a fee of £ 12m from Sampdoria . Milan then completed the signing of Gianluigi Lentini for a fee of £ 13m which stood as the record for three years . The 1996 transfer of Alan Shearer from Blackburn Rovers to Newcastle United , for a fee of £ 15m , kickstarted a year - by - year succession of record breaking transfers : Ronaldo moved the following year to Inter Milan from FC Barcelona for a fee of £ 17m , which was followed in 1998 by the shock transfer of his fellow countryman Denílson from São Paulo to Real Betis for a fee of approximately £ 21m . In 1999 and 2000 , Italian clubs returned to their record - breaking ways , with Christian Vieri transferring from Lazio to Inter Milan for £ 28m , while Hernán Crespo 's transfer from Parma to Lazio ensured he became the first player to cost more than £ 30m . The transfer prompted the BBC to ask `` has the world gone mad '' ? It took two weeks for the record to be broken when Luís Figo made a controversial £ 37m move from Barcelona to rivals Real Madrid . A year later , Real increased the record again with a signing of Zinedine Zidane for £ 48 million ( 150 billion lire ) . Zidane 's record stood for 8 years , the longest since the 1940s . Real Madrid continued with the Galácticos policy by buying Kaká from Milan for € 67 million ( £ 56 million ) , which was the world record in pound sterling . However , both world record in euro and in pound sterling were broke by Real themselves when signing Cristiano Ronaldo for £ 80m ( € 94m ) from Manchester United in the same transfer window , 4 years later Real Madrid broke the record again after completed the signing of Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspur in 2013 . Although Real initially insisted that the transfer cost € 91.59 million , slightly less than the Ronaldo fee , the deal was widely reported to be around € 100 million ( around £ 85.1 million ) . Documents leaked in 2016 by Football Leaks revealed that installments brought the final Bale fee up to a total of € 100,759,418 . In 2016 , Manchester United eventually took the record away from Real Madrid , signing French midfielder Paul Pogba for € 105 million ( £ 89 million ) , four years after having released him to Juventus for training compensation . A year after the Pogba transfer , however , there was a major jump in the record fee . Paris St. Germain matched the € 222 million buyout fee of Barcelona 's Neymar , converted to a reported £ 198 million or £ 200 million by different sources . This was the first time that the record fee was paid by a French club . Historical progression ( edit ) This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia 's quality standards .

See home server and home automation or desktop computer for other uses of a computer in a home . Children playing Paperboy on an Amstrad CPC 464 in 1988 Most home computers , such as this Tandy Color Computer 3 , featured a version of the BASIC programming language . The sometimes - sprawling nature of the well - outfitted home computer system is very much in evidence . A TI 99 / 4 with expansion modules attached . No more than a few expansion options were practical with this type of arrangement . Home computers were a class of microcomputers entering the market in 1977 , and becoming common during the 1980s . They were marketed to consumers as affordable and accessible computers that , for the first time , were intended for the use of a single nontechnical user . These computers were a distinct market segment that typically cost much less than business , scientific or engineering - oriented computers of the time such as the IBM PC , and were generally less powerful in terms of memory and expandability . However , a home computer often had better graphics and sound than contemporary business computers . Their most common uses were playing video games , but they were also regularly used for word processing , doing homework , and programming . Home computers were usually not electronic kits ; home computers were sold already manufactured in stylish metal or plastic enclosures . There were , however , commercial kits like the Sinclair ZX80 which were both home and home - built computers since the purchaser could assemble the unit from a kit . Advertisements in the popular press for early home computers were rife with possibilities for their practical use in the home , from cataloging recipes to personal finance to home automation , but these were seldom realized in practice . For example , using a typical 1980s home computer as a home automation appliance would require the computer to be kept powered on at all times and dedicated to this task . Personal finance and database use required tedious data entry . By contrast , advertisements in the specialty computer press often simply listed specifications . If no packaged software was available for a particular application , the home computer user could program one -- provided they had invested the requisite hours to learn computer programming , as well as the idiosyncrasies of their system . Since most systems shipped with the BASIC programming language included on the system ROM , it was easy for users to get started creating their own simple applications . Many users found programming to be a fun and rewarding experience , and an excellent introduction to the world of digital technology . The line between ' business ' and ' home ' computer market segments blurred or vanished completely once IBM PC compatibles became commonly used in the home , since now both categories of computers typically use the same processor architectures , peripherals , operating systems , and applications . Often the only difference may be the sales outlet through which they are purchased . Another change from the home computer era is that the once - common endeavour of writing one 's own software programs has almost vanished from home computer use .

( October 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Five waves of home computer : Low - price single - user computers aimed at the home market arrived in five waves between 1976 and 1986 : Source Trinity of 1977 , plus one ( 1976 to December 1977 ) The invention of the Intel 8080 microprocessor chip in April 1974 made practical the development of the ( relatively ) affordable mass - market microcomputer . In the USA this first appeared in early 1975 in the form of an unassembled kit , the Altair 8800 ; shortly afterward pre-assembled Altairs were offered . The sudden popularity of desktop computers happened because the 8080 CPU could represent and manipulate 256 discrete values in its 8 - bit registers . Thus the 7 - bit ASCII standard for the representation of alphanumeric data became feasible for the first time in a machine much smaller and less expensive than the furniture - size minicomputers , with their processors that occupied entire circuit boards . This new class of computer was practical for serious work because it could input , process , and output alphanumeric information . It also enabled sophisticated programs such as database managers and BASIC interpreters to become available to a larger market consisting of people possessing lesser technical skills . Soon after , other companies entered the market with similar , ready - to - run microcomputers like the IMSAI 8080 . These sold in the tens of thousands , surprising everyone in the industry . Beyond businesses and hobbyists , however , these computers were not widely used because ( in the early days ) they lacked conveniences like video displays and keyboards , required programming skills at the machine code level , and systems large enough for serious work cost many thousands . The very first home computer was the Compucolor by Compucolor Corporation in 1976 , soon followed by the Compucolor II which was made by Intelligent Systems Corp . They used the 8080 but otherwise sported very advanced features , including RAM starting at 8 KB , expandable up to 32 KB , 64 column by 32 line color CRT display , a professional keyboard , an enhanced BASIC interpreter , and a built - in floppy disk drive . It only sold a few thousand units , however , and the company went bust not long after . In 1975 two new microprocessors were developed that were easier and less expensive to implement than the 8080 : the MOS Technology 6502 and Zilog Z80 . In 1977 three companies decided to use this new technology to develop and market affordable , fully assembled , easy - to - use , programmable computers for individual users in their businesses and homes . These were the Commodore PET , Apple II , and TRS - 80 , which Byte magazine christened the `` 1977 Trinity '' . These comprise the First Wave of home computers . All three were instant successes and created a huge , surprise demand . It would not be until 1979 , however , when these pioneering manufacturers produced successor machines ( 1980 in the case of Tandy / Radio Shack ) . Aside from the efforts of product development and ramping up production to meet the unexpected demand , each had unique difficulties expanding their new businesses . In the cases of Commodore and Apple , they had to build up networks of dealers , not only for sales but for reliable customer service . Tandy / Radio Shack had a great head start in this area because of its some 3500 retail stores in the USA , but still had to work up its repair and training capability for after - sales support . They focused their efforts on the in - house development of hardware peripherals ( especially the first 5.25 inch floppy disk drives ) and software . Apple and Commodore encouraged third - party companies to do this work for them ( except for floppy drives ) . Tandy also took up the task of establishing a presence in the growing market for small business computers , with its follow - on TRS - 80 Model II which they introduced in October 1979 . The TRS - 80 took a large , early lead in the new market , and Apple lagged Commodore . Tandy / Radio Shack would hold its number one position until 1982 . Rise of rival 8 - bit lines ( October 1979 to April 1982 ) The Second Wave arrived in October 1979 when the first competitor in the new home computer market , Texas Instruments , fielded their TI - 99 / 4 ( featuring a CPU that handled 16 - bit data , but had an instruction set entirely its own ) . Established game console maker Atari followed closely in November with their 400 and 800 , which were the first home computers ever to have circuitry dedicated to processing of graphical video and audio data ( inherited from Atari game console products ) . In 1980 Sinclair in the UK launched their super-cheap ZX80 , heralded as the least expensive computer ever offered . Also in early 1980 the Radio Shack Color Computer made its debut . This was the first commercial computer to use the powerful Motorola 6809 CPU . In early 1981 Commodore introduced its VIC - 20 which rivaled the Ataris for gameplay with a custom video chip that made hi - res color affordable but not so capable as the Atari 's graphics coprocessors . The VIC - 20 would become the first computer to sell one million units . Sinclair followed up the ZX80 with its ZX81 in March 1981 . Sinclair would team up with Timex to market its home computers in the USA . In June Texas Instruments followed up its 99 / 4 with the improved 99 / 4A . In December Acorn Computer in the UK produced the BBC Micro . Finally in April 1982 Sinclair again topped itself with its new Spectrum . This last can be seen as a transition between the second wave and the third ; successor models of the Spectrum would evolve in that direction . Essentially , this second wave of home computers were video game consoles equipped with a few computerlike enhancements like keyboards , BASIC interpreters ( which served as the operating system ) , and provision for cassette tape mass storage . They introduced features that would typify the low - end home computer : slots for plug - in cartridges , borrowed from the video game consoles , joystick ports , and the use of the family television set as a video display ( the Apple II was the only Trinity computer to allow use of a TV ) , though provisions were often made for low - cost composite video output . These lower cost new machines lacked features of more costly machines . One such was the full - travel keyboard . Membrane or `` chiclet '' keyboards were used in the least expensive models like the Sinclairs , Color Computer , and Atari 400 ( as did the Trinity 's Commodore PET ) . A lack of lowercase alpha characters was still typical in the cheaper models , like the Sinclair ZX80 / 81s . Serial ports and interfaces for printers were offered only on the pricier models . Less expensive memory chips afforded the later computers of this wave of home computer a full complement of RAM : usually 48 KB which with 16 KB of system / BASIC ROM filled out the memory map of the 8 - bit CPU . Also in the later period the VIC - 20 and Ataris got their first floppy disk drives ( The Commodore 1540 and Atari 810 respectively ) . The dedicated video chips used in the Ataris and the software sprites supported by the VIC - 20 would spur software publishers to produce a new breed of games with fast - moving high resolution color graphics . The emphasis in the home market on graphics would also compel the writers of the BASIC interpreters to support the new graphics capabilities with advanced commands for drawing lines and geometric shapes and filling areas , rather than the primitive commands for merely setting and resetting pixels as provided in earlier computers . Golden Age of the 8 - bit lines ( August 1982 to early 1984 ) The first of the mature 8 - bit machines that constituted the Third Wave of home computers was the famous Commodore 64 ( August 1982 ) . It sported many features that would typify this generation . Most important was the use of bank - switching technology to address more than the 64 kilobytes of memory that 8 - bit processors were limited to . The C - 64 was the first home computer with 64 KB of RAM as standard ( whereas the Apple II Plus from 1979 required the optional Language Card ) , using bank - switching to page in ROM routines as needed , thus filling out the 6502 's memory map completely with RAM . This made larger , more sophisticated programs possible . The C - 64 eventually drove Texas Instruments from the home computer market with aggressive cost - cutting , and wounded the Atari 8 - bit line 's market position as well . The C - 64 cost less than the Atari 800 and at last had a custom graphics and sound chips of comparable capability . A few years after coming to market the C - 64 would sell some 2 million units per year ( despite early on acquiring a reputation for poor construction quality and reliability ) and went on to become the all - time bestselling computer ( in units sold ) until the PCs overtook it in the early 1990s . In late 1983 Atari countered Commodore in the low - end `` price wars '' with its 800XL , which was cheaper to produce and slightly improved , though still limited to 48 KB RAM . Ending this third wave of home computer , 1984 saw new entrant Amstrad in the UK introduce the Amstrad CPC . This new Z80 machine would spawn many variants in following years and sell some 3 million units . As costs for DRAM chips continued to decline , other 8 - bit computers would use bank - switching to offer even more RAM than the 64 KB limit of the 8 - bit CPUs. 128 KB was the amount most convenient , as two banks of 64 KB DRAM chips occupied little area on the circuit board and provided a low - cost option by leaving the upper bank empty for later expansion . Three home computers that fit this description were the ZX Spectrum 128 , Apple IIe ( January 1983 ) and Radio Shack TRS - 80 Model 4 ( April 1983 ) . Later the Commodore 128 and Atari 130XE would follow suit with 128 KB of bank - switched RAM . The two higher - end home computers by Apple and Tandy / Radio Shack ( around $2000 with dual disk drives ) brought many features of pricier business computers within reach of the home computerist , such as 80 column text displays , RS - 232 serial ports , RAM disks , task switching software , and sophisticated operating systems and applications rivaling the emerging MS - DOS standard of the professional world . The first of the small computer Productivity suites , Appleworks and Deskmate , would appear on these two computers . Robotic manufacturing in low - wage Asian countries and advanced , denser circuit design permitted engineers to build in more and better features while reducing production costs , so greater capabilities became available to the consumer at lesser prices . Greater quantities of units shipped drove down costs further as economies of scale kicked in . As sales of home computers sold grew , software publishers increasingly turned their attention to the gaming , educational , and home productivity market . They began to support the more advanced features of the newer computers , especially the greater memory capacities available . Prices of hardware and software continued to fall and spurred further growth and programming sophistication . Another effect of the mass marketing of home computers was a shift in the distribution channels used by the manufacturers . Particularly for Commodore , Atari , and Sinclair / Timex in the USA , it became feasible to sell through department stores like Sears and J.C. Penney , and toy / hobby stores like Toys `` R '' Us . This trend resulted in further price reductions to the consumer , and allowed manufacturers to economically move greater volumes of product into new markets away from the big coastal cities of the USA . MSX was a standard for a home computing architecture that was intended and hoped to become a universal platform for home computing . It was conceived and engineered by Microsoft and marketed by Microsoft Japan . Computers conforming to the MSX standard were produced by most all major Japanese electronics manufacturers , as well as two Korean ones and several others in Europe and South America . Some 5 million units are known to have been sold in Japan alone . They sold in smaller numbers throughout the world . Due to the `` price wars '' being waged in the USA home computer market during the 1983 - 85 period , MSX computers were never marketed to any great extent in the USA . Eventually more advanced mainstream home computers and game consoles obsoleted the MSX machines . By the end of this period in early 1984 ( with the launch of Amstrad 's CPC ) , all the major lines of 8 - bit home computer had been introduced . All subsequent computers designed for home use would use more powerful 16 - bit processors , which could more efficiently use the ever-less - expensive memory chips . It was actually the years following 1984 that would be the Golden Age of the 8 - bit home computers . They would continue to sell ( on price ) , spawn improved and repackaged versions , and gain an ever - wider selection of software applications and hardware peripherals ( many using the same new technologies the 16 - bit computers would , such as 3.5 inch floppy disk drives ) . Indeed , all these 8 - bit home computers would persist into the early 1990s ( the TRS - 80 Model 4D ceased production sometime in the late 1980s but was kept in the Radio Shack catalog until 1991 ) . January 1984 may be seen as the very beginning of a transition to the new generation of 16 - bit computers that would blossom in 1985 - 86 , for this was when Sinclair produced their Sinclair QL , which was the first home computer to use Motorola 's new 68000 - series CPU with an internal 32 - bit architecture and multitasking operating system . The Sinclair implementation used the 68008 version with an external 8 - bit bus . The QL was rushed to market and not much of a success as a product , however . PCs Invade the Home ( March 1984 to November 1984 ) From the introduction of the IBM Personal Computer ( ubiquitously known as the PC ) in 1981 , the market for computers meant for the corporate , business , and government sectors came to be dominated by the new machine and its MS - DOS operating system . Even basic PCs cost thousands of dollars and were far out of reach for typical home computerists . However , in the following years technological advances and improved manufacturing capabilities ( mainly greater use of robotics and relocation of production plants to lower - wage locations in Asia ) permitted several computer companies to offer lower - cost PC style machines that would become competitive with many 8 - bit home - market pioneers . PCs could never become as affordable as these because the same price - reducing measures were available to all computer makers . Furthermore , software and peripherals for PC style computers tended to cost more than those for 8 - bit computers because of the anchoring effect caused by the pricey IBM PC . Though the PC 's first graphics adapter , CGA , could be used with a television set in 40 character mode , this was not a practical option because very little software was written for this display mode ; therefore the PCs could not practically use the family TV set as a video display like the cheaper home computers and thus the effective price of a PC was that much greater . Nonetheless , the overall reduction in manufacturing costs narrowed the price difference between old 8 - bit technology and new PCs . In other words , the simpler machines could not benefit so much from more efficient manufacturing as did the complex PCs . Despite their higher absolute prices PCs were perceived by many to be better values for their utility as superior productivity tools and their access to industry - standard software . Another advantage was the 8088 / 8086 's wider 20 - bit address bus : the PC could access more than 64 kilobytes of memory relatively inexpensively ( 8 - bit CPUs required complicated , tricky memory management techniques like bank - switching ) . Similarly , the PC floppy was double - sided with about twice the storage capacity of floppy disks used by 8 - bit home computers . PC drives tended to cost less because they were most often built - in , requiring no external case , controller , and power supply . The faster clock rates and wider buses available to later Intel CPUs compensated somewhat for the custom graphics and sound chips of the Commodores and Ataris . In time the growing popularity of home PCs spurred many software publishers to offer gaming and children 's software titles . Many decision makers in the computer industry believed there could be a viable market for office workers who used PC / DOS computers at their jobs and would appreciate an ability to bring diskettes of data home on weeknights and weekends to continue work after - hours on their `` home '' computers . So the ability to run industry - standard MS - DOS software on affordable , user - friendly PCs was anticipated as a source of new sales . Furthermore , many in the industry felt that MS - DOS would eventually ( inevitably , it seemed ) come to dominate the computer business entirely , and some manufacturers felt the need to offer individual customers PC - style products suitable for the home market . Another factor that did not hurt home sales of PCs for business computerists was that their cost could be counted as an income tax deduction provided the owner could document to the Internal Revenue Service that the computer was used ( for at least fifty percent of the time ) for business purposes , or if required for educational purposes . This applied to peripherals and software as well . Since these customers usually occupied the higher tax brackets , the relatively high cost of home and business PCs could be offset substantially . In early 1984 market colossus IBM produced the PCjr as a PC / DOS - compatible machine aimed squarely at the home user . It proved a spectacular failure because IBM deliberately limited its capabilities and expansion possibilities in order to avoid cannibalizing sales of the profitable PC . IBM management believed that if they made the PCjr too powerful too many buyers would prefer it over the bigger , more expensive PC . Poor reviews in the computer press and poor sales doomed the PCjr . Tandy Corporation capitalized on IBM 's blunder with its PCjr - compatible Tandy 1000 in November . Like the PCjr it was pitched as a home , education , and small - business computer featuring joystick ports , better sound and graphics ( same as the PCjr but with enhancements ) , combined with near - PC / DOS compatibility ( unlike Tandy 's earlier Tandy 2000 ) . The improved Tandy 1000 video hardware became a standard of its own , known as Tandy Graphics Adapter or TGA . Later , Tandy produced Tandy 1000 variants in form factors and price - points even more suited to the home computer market , consisting particularly of the Tandy 1000 EX and HX models ( later supplanted by the 1000 RL ) , which came in cases resembling the original Apple IIs ( CPU , keyboard , expansion slots , and power supply in a slimline cabinet ) but also included floppy disk drives . The proprietary Deskmate productivity suite came bundled with the Tandy 1000s . Deskmate was suited to use by computer novices with its point - and - click ( though not graphical ) user interface . From the launch of the Tandy 1000 series , their manufacture were price - competitive because of Tandy 's use of high - density ASIC chip technology , which allowed their engineers to integrate many hardware features into the motherboard ( obviating the need for circuit cards in expansion slots as with other brands of PC ) . Tandy never transferred its manufacturing operation to Asia ; all Tandy desktop computers were built in the USA ( this was not true of the laptop and pocket computers , nor peripherals ) . In 1985 the Epson corporation , a popular and respected producer of inexpensive dot - matrix printers and business computers ( the QX - 10 and QX - 16 ) , introduced its low - cost Epson Equity PC . Its designers took minor shortcuts such as few expansion slots and a lack of a socket for an 8087 math chip , but Epson did bundle some utility programs that offered decent turnkey functionality for novice users . While not a high performer , the Equity was a reliable and compatible design for half the price of a similarly - configured IBM PC . Epson often promoted sales by bundling one of their printers with it at cost . The Equity I sold well enough to warrant the furtherance of the Equity line with the follow - on Equity II , Equity III , and others based on the i386SX . In 1986 UK home computer maker Amstrad began producing their PC1512 PC - compatible for sale in the UK . Later they would market the machine in the USA as the PC6400 . In June 1987 an improved model was produced as the PC1640 . These machines had fast 8086 CPUs , enhanced CGA graphics , and were feature - laden for their modest prices . They had joystick adapters built into their keyboards and shipped with a licensed version of the Digital Research Graphical Environment Manager ( or GEM ) , a GUI for the MS - DOS operating system . They became marginal successes in the home market . For a short time Amstrad also marketed a home - computer style PC with an RF modulator for use with a television set display . This was the PC20 , also as the Sinclair PC200 . In 1987 longtime small computer maker Zenith introduced a low - cost PC they called the eaZy PC . This was positioned as an `` appliance '' computer much like the original Apple Macintosh : turnkey startup , built - in monochrome monitor , and lacking expansion slots requiring proprietary add - ons available only from Zenith , but instead with the traditional MS - DOS Command - line interface . The eaZy PC used a turbo NEC V40 CPU ( uprated 8088 ) which was rather slow for its time , but the display did feature 400 pixel vertical resolution ( double - scanned CGA in text mode only ) . It failed for the same reasons as did IBM 's PCjr : poor performance and expandability , and an uncompetetive price for the home market . Another company that offered low - cost PCs for home use was Leading Edge with their Model M and Model D computers . These were configured like full - featured business PCs yet still could compete in the home market on price because Leading Edge had access to low - cost hardware from their Asian manufacturing partners Mitsubishi with the Model M and Daewoo with the Model D . The Leading Edge Word Processor was bundled with the Model D. It was favorably reviewed by the computer press and sold very well . Still another budget offering from Korea was the Hyundai Blue Chip PC - XT clone , which was sold through Target , Sears , and Wal - Mart department stores . By the mid-80s the market for inexpensive PCs for use in the home market was expanding at a rate such that the two leaders in the USA , Commodore and Atari , themselves felt compelled to enter the market with their own lines . They were only marginally successful compared to other companies that made only PCs . Still later prices of white box PC clone computers by various manufacturers became competitive with the higher - end home computers ( see below ) . Throughout the 1980s costs and prices continued to be driven down by : advanced circuit design and manufacturing , multifunction expansion cards , shareware applications such as PC - Talk , PC - Write , and PC - File , greater hardware reliability , and more user - friendly software that demanded less customer support services . The increasing availability of faster processor and memory chips , inexpensive EGA and VGA video cards , sound cards , and joystick adapters also bolstered the viability of PC / DOS computers as alternatives to specially - made computers and game consoles for the home . 68000s Come Home ( June 1985 to early 1986 ) The Fifth , last wave of computers specially meant for use as home computers arrived in June 1985 with the Atari ST . Soon after , but unavailable until 1986 , came Commodore 's Amiga . These new machines were an entirely new breed built around Motorola 's 16 / 32 - bit 68000 processor , the same as used in Apple 's expensive Macintosh and premature Sinclair QL . This chip promised superior performance due to its advanced architecture and fast clock rate , made possible by fast yet inexpensive memory chips . Also , the 68000 could access megabytes of memory linearly , without any need for Intel 's segmented memory model . This made huge , sophisticated programs possible . Both machines used the new 3.5 inch floppy drives offering four times the storage of the 5.25 inch drives . The user interface used was graphical , like the Macintosh . The ST used a licensed version of Digital Research 's GEM and the Amiga 's original GUI featured true multitasking and windowing capability . The video hardware in these two computers could render graphics in hundreds or thousands of colors in high resolution . The Amiga had dedicated graphics and sound coprocessors for high performance video and audio . It found use as a workstation for motion video , a first for a standalone computer costing far less than dedicated motion - video processing equipment . Stereo sound became standard for the first time ; the Atari ST gained popularity as an affordable alternative for MIDI equipment for the production of music . After a slow start the ST and Amiga gained traction in the market as software developers increased support for them . In following years both lines would be advanced using the faster , fully 32 - bit successors of the Motorola 68000 CPU . In June 1987 a computer appeared in the UK which can be considered a member of this wave ; this was the Acorn Archimedes . Because it used Acorn 's own ARM architecture processor rather than the Motorola 68000 , it offered superior performance to the ST and Amiga ( about double ) and likewise was ahead of its time . The Archimedes gained share in the UK educational market but , like the Atari ST and Commodore Amiga , was crowded out in the 1990s by inexpensive PCs running Microsoft Windows with similar multimedia capability . The 8 - bit Swan Song During this period , three venerable 8 - bit computers made something of a comeback , if short - lived . These were the Commodore 128 in January 1985 ( and its variant C - 128D a bit later ) , the Radio Shack Color Computer 3 in July 1986 , and the Apple IIGS ( whose CPU is a full 16 - bit processor ) in September 1986 . They incorporated features typical of business - class computers like expanded memory beyond 64 kilobytes , 80 column text screens , higher resolution graphics with more colors , and in the case of the IIGS a Macintosh - like graphical interface . The C - 128 had a Z80 chip for CP / M compatibility and the C - 128D a PC - style case with an internal disk drive that could read and write data to PC disks . The new Coco could run a windowing , multitasking operating system called OS - 9 . Yet these updated veterans offered full compatibility with the software of their ancestors . Eventually these three , like all the other home computers , were eclipsed by the PCs due to constantly falling prices for the newer technologies . The three companies that opened the 8 - bit home computer era in 1977 , Tandy / Radio Shack , Apple , and Commodore , at last closed it . Also noteworthy during this time ( September 1985 ) was the Amstrad PCW . This was Z80 - based and ran CP / M - 80 , tailored and marketed specifically as a word processing machine ( with bundled printer ) available at a remarkably low price . While not introducing new technology apart from its 3.0 inch floppy drives and 90 column by 32 line video display , with time it grew to be a popular ( especially in the UK and Europe ) general - purpose CP / M system running many kinds of applications besides its bundled word processor , Locoscript . It sold some 8 million units during its market lifespan of more than a decade . Background ( edit ) Computer at home , USA 1965 As early as 1965 , some experimental projects such as Jim Sutherland 's ECHO IV ( hr ) explored the possible utility of a computer in the home . In 1969 , the Honeywell Kitchen Computer was marketed as a luxury gift item , and would have inaugurated the era of home computing , but none were sold . Computers became affordable for the general public in the 1970s due to the mass production of the microprocessor starting in 1971 . Early microcomputers such as the Altair 8800 had front - mounted switches and diagnostic lights ( nicknamed `` blinkenlights '' ) to control and indicate internal system status , and were often sold in kit form to hobbyists . These kits would contain an empty printed circuit board which the buyer would fill with the integrated circuits , other individual electronic components , wires and connectors , and then hand - solder all the connections . While two early home computers ( Sinclair ZX80 and Acorn Atom ) could be bought either in kit form or assembled , most home computers were only sold pre-assembled . They were enclosed in plastic or metal cases similar in appearance to typewriter or hi - fi equipment enclosures , which were more familiar and attractive to consumers than the industrial metal card - cage enclosures used by the Altair and similar computers . The keyboard - a feature lacking on the Altair - was usually built into the same case as the motherboard . Ports for plug - in peripheral devices such as a video display , cassette tape recorders , joysticks , and ( later ) disk drives were either built - in or available on expansion cards . Although the Apple II series had internal expansion slots , most other home computer models ' expansion arrangements were through externally accessible ' expansion ports ' that also served as a place to plug in cartridge - based games . Usually the manufacturer would sell peripheral devices designed to be compatible with their computers as extra cost accessories . Peripherals and software were not often interchangeable between different brands of home computer , or even between successive models of the same brand . To save the cost of a dedicated monitor , the home computer would often connect through an RF modulator to the family TV set , which served as both video display and sound system . By 1982 , an estimated 621,000 home computers were in American households , at an average sales price of US $530 . After the success of the Radio Shack TRS - 80 , the Commodore PET and the Apple II in 1977 , almost every manufacturer of consumer electronics rushed to introduce a home computer . Large numbers of new machines of all types began to appear during the late 1970s and early 1980s . Mattel , Coleco , Texas Instruments and Timex , none of which had any previous connection to the computer industry , all had short - lived home computer lines in the early 1980s . Some home computers were more successful -- the BBC Micro , Sinclair ZX Spectrum , Atari 800XL and Commodore 64 , sold many units over several years and attracted third - party software development . Almost universally , home computers had a BASIC interpreter combined with a line editor in permanent read - only memory which one could use to type in BASIC programs and execute them immediately or save them to tape or disk . In direct mode , the BASIC interpreter was also used as the user interface , and given tasks such as loading , saving , managing , and running files . One exception was the Jupiter Ace , which had a Forth interpreter instead of BASIC . A built - in programming language was seen as a requirement for any computer of the era , and was the main feature setting home computers apart from video game consoles . Still , home computers competed in the same market as the consoles . A home computer was often seen as simply as a higher end purchase than a console , adding abilities and productivity potential to what would still be mainly a gaming device . A common marketing tactic was to show a computer system and console playing games side by side , then emphasizing the computer 's greater ability by showing it running user - created programs , education software , word processing , spreadsheet and other applications while the game console showed a blank screen or continued playing the same repetitive game . Another capability home computers had that game consoles of the time lacked was the ability to access remote services over telephone lines by adding a serial port interface , a modem , and communication software . Though it could be costly , it permitted the computer user to access services like Compuserve and private or corporate bulletin board systems to post or read messages , or to download or upload software . Some enthusiasts with computers equipped with large storage capacity and a dedicated phone line operated bulletin boards of their own . This capability anticipated the internet by nearly twenty years . Some game consoles offered `` programming packs '' consisting of a version of BASIC in a ROM cartridge . Atari 's BASIC Programming for the Atari 2600 was one of these . For the ColecoVision console , Coleco even announced an expansion module which would convert it into a full - fledged computer system . This never materialised , but a standalone computer , the Coleco Adam was eventually released . The Magnavox Odyssey2 game console had a built - in keyboard to support its C7420 Home Computer Module . Books of type - in program listings like BASIC Computer Games were available dedicated for the BASICs of most models of computer with titles along the lines of 64 Amazing BASIC Games for the Commodore 64 . While most of the programs in these books were short and simple games or demos , some titles such as Compute ! 's SpeedScript series , contained productivity software that rivaled commercial packages . To avoid the tedious process of typing in a program listing from a book , these books would sometimes include a mail - in offer from the author to obtain the programs on disk or cassette for a few dollars . Before the Internet , and before most computer owners had a modem , books were a popular and low - cost means of software distribution -- one that had the advantage of incorporating its own documentation . These books also served a role in familiarizing new computer owners with the concepts of programming ; some titles added suggested modifications to the program listings for the user to carry out . Modifying software to be compatible with one 's system or writing a utility program to fit one 's needs was a skill every advanced computer owner was expected to have . During the peak years of the home computer market , scores of models were produced , usually as individual design projects with little or no thought given to compatibility between different manufacturers or even within product lines of the same manufacturer . Except for the Japanese MSX standard , the concept of a computer platform was still forming , with most companies considering rudimentary BASIC language and disk format compatibility sufficient to claim a model as `` compatible '' . Things were different in the business world , where cost - conscious small business owners had been using CP / M running on Z80 based computers from Osborne , Kaypro , Morrow Designs and a host of other manufacturers . For many of these businesses , the development of the microcomputer made computing and business software affordable where they had not been before . Introduced in August 1981 , the IBM Personal Computer would eventually supplant CP / M as the standard platform used in business . This was largely due to the IBM name and the system 's 16 bit open architecture , which expanded maximum memory tenfold , and also encouraged production of third - party clones . In the late 1970s , the 6502 - based Apple II series had carved out a niche for itself in business , thanks to the industry 's first killer app , VisiCalc , released in 1979 . However the Apple II would quickly be displaced for office use by IBM PC compatibles running Lotus 1 - 2 - 3 . Apple Computer 's 1980 Apple III was underwhelming , and although the 1984 release of the Apple Macintosh introduced the modern GUI to the market , it was n't common until IBM - compatible computers adopted it . Throughout the 1980s , businesses large and small adopted the PC platform , leading , by the end of the decade , to sub-US $1000 IBM PC XT - class white box machines , usually built in Asia and sold by US companies like PCs Limited . In 1980 Wayne Green , the publisher of Kilobaud Microcomputing , recommended that companies avoid the term `` home computer '' in their advertising as `` I feel is self - limiting for sales ... I prefer the term `` microcomputers '' since it does n't limit the uses of the equipment in the imagination of the prospective customers `` . With the exception of Tandy , most computer companies -- even those with a majority of sales to home users -- agreed , avoiding the term `` home computer '' because of its association with the image of , as Compute ! wrote , `` a low - powered , low - end machine primarily suited for playing games '' . Apple consistently avoided stating that it was a home - computer company , and described the IIc as `` a serious computer for the serious home user '' despite competing against IBM 's PCjr home computer . John Sculley denied that his company sold home computers ; rather , he said , Apple sold `` computers for use in the home '' . In 1990 the company reportedly refused to support joysticks on its low - cost Macintosh LC and IIsi computers to prevent customers from considering them as `` game machines '' . Although the Apple II and Atari computers are functionally similar , Atari 's home - oriented marketing resulted in a game - heavy library with much less business software . By the late 1980s , many mass merchants sold video game consoles like the Nintendo Entertainment System , but no longer sold home computers . Toward the end of the 1980s , clones also became popular with non-corporate customers . Inexpensive , highly compatible clones succeeded where the PCjr had failed . Replacing the hobbyists who had made up the majority of the home computer market were , as Compute ! described them , `` people who want to take work home from the office now and then , play a game now and then , learn more about computers , and help educate their children '' . By 1986 industry experts predicted an `` MS - DOS Christmas '' , and the magazine stated that clones threatened Commodore , Atari , and Apple 's domination of the home - computer market . The declining cost of IBM compatibles on the one hand , and the greatly increased graphics , sound , and storage abilities of fourth generation video game consoles such as the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System on the other , combined to cause the market segment for home computers to vanish by the early 1990s in the US . In Europe , the home computer remained a distinct presence for a few years more , with the low - end models of the 16 - bit Amiga and Atari ST families being the dominant players , but by the mid-1990s even the European market had dwindled . The Dutch government even ran a program that allowed businesses to sell computers tax - free to its employees , often accompanied by home training programs . Naturally , these businesses chose to equip their employees with the same systems they themselves were using . Today a computer bought for home use anywhere will be very similar to those used in offices -- made by the same manufacturers , with compatible peripherals , operating systems , and application software . Technology ( edit ) A Commodore 64 system , showing the basic layout of a typical home computer system of the era . Pictured are the CPU / keyboard unit , floppy disk drive , and dedicated color monitor . Many systems also had a dot matrix printer for producing paper output . Eastern Bloc computers were often significantly different in appearance from western computers . Pictured is a KC 85 / 3 with its keyboard placed on top , by VEB Mikroelektronik Mühlhausen released in 1986 and based on an East German Zilog Z80 clone . The Soviet Electronika BK0010. 01 home computer was based on the К1801ВМ1 ( Soviet LSI - 11 - compatible CPU ) and was , basically , a very stripped - down PDP - 11 . Many home computers were superficially similar . Most had a keyboard integrated into the same case as the motherboard , or , more frequently , a mainboard -- while the expandable home computers appeared from the very start ( the Apple II offered as much as seven expansion slots ) , as the whole segment was generally aimed downmarket , few offers were priced and / or positioned high enough to allow for such expandability . Some systems have only one expansion port , often realized in the form of cumbersome `` sidecar '' system , such as on the TI - 99 / 4 , or required finicky and unwieldy ribbon cables to connect the expansion modules . Sometimes they were equipped with a cheap membrane or chiclet keyboard in the early days , although full - travel keyboards quickly became universal due to overwhelming consumer preference . Most systems could use an RF modulator to display 20 -- 40 column text output on a home television . Indeed , the use of a television set as a display almost defines the pre-PC home computer . Although dedicated composite or `` green screen '' computer displays were available for this market segment and offered a sharper display , a monitor was often a later purchase made only after users had bought a floppy disk drive , printer , modem , and the other pieces of a full system . The reason for this was that while those TV - monitors had difficulty displaying the clear and readable 80 - column text that became the industry standard at the time , the only consumers who really needed that were the power users utilizing the machine for business purposes , while the average casual consumer would use the system for games only and was content with the lower resolution for which a TV worked fine . An important exception was the Radio Shack TRS - 80 , the first mass - marketed computer for home use , which included its own 64 - column display monitor and full - travel keyboard as standard features . This `` peripherals sold separately '' approach is another defining characteristic of the home computer era . A first time computer buyer who brought a base C - 64 system home and hooked it up to their TV would find they needed to buy a disk drive ( the Commodore 1541 was the only fully compatible model ) or Datasette before they could make use of it as anything but a game machine or TV Typewriter . In the early part of the 1980s , the dominant microprocessors used in home computers were the 8 - bit MOS Technology 6502 ( Apple , Commodore , Atari , BBC Micro ) and Zilog Z80 ( TRS - 80 , ZX81 , ZX Spectrum , Commodore 128 , Amstrad CPC ) . One exception was the TI - 99 series , announced in 1979 with a 16 - bit TMS9900 CPU . The TI was originally to use the 8 - bit 9985 processor designed especially for it , but this project was cancelled . However , the glue logic needed to retrofit the 16 - bit CPU to an 8 - bit 9985 system negated the advantages of the more powerful CPU . Another exception was the Soviet Elektronika BK series of 1984 , which used the fully 16 - bit and powerful for the time 1801 series CPU , offering a full PDP - 11 compatibility and a fully functional Q - Bus slot , though at the cost of very anemic RAM and graphics . The Motorola 6809 was used by the Radio Shack TRS - 80 Color Computer , the Fujitsu FM - 7 , and Dragon 32 / 64 . Processor clock rates were typically 1 -- 2 MHz for 6502 and 6809 based CPU 's and 2 -- 4 MHz for Z80 based systems ( yielding roughly equal performance ) , but this aspect was not emphasized by users or manufacturers , as the systems ' limited RAM capacity , graphics abilities and storage options had a more perceivable effect on performance than CPU speed . For low - price computers the cost of RAM memory chips contributed greatly to the final product price to the consumer , and fast CPUs demanded expensive , fast memory . So designers kept clock rates only adequate ; in some cases like the Atari and Commodore 8 - bit machines , coprocessors were added to speed processing of graphics and audio data . For these computers clock rate was considered a technical detail of interest only to users needing accurate timing for their own programs . To economize on component cost , often the same crystal used to produce color television compatible signals was also divided down and used for the processor clock . This meant processors rarely operated at their full rated speed , and had the side - effect that European and North American versions of the same home computer operated at slightly different speeds and different video resolution due to different television standards . Initially , many home computers used the then - ubiquitous compact audio cassette as a storage mechanism . A rough analogy to how this worked would be to place a recorder on the phone line as a file was uploaded by modem to `` save '' it , and playing the recording back through the modem to `` load '' . Most cassette implementations were notoriously slow and unreliable , but 8 '' drives were too bulky for home use , and early 5.25 '' form factor drives were priced for business use , out of reach of most home buyers . An innovative alternative was the Exatron Stringy Floppy , a continuous loop tape drive which was much faster than a datacassette drive and could perform much like a floppy disk drive . It was available for the TRS - 80 and some others . A closely related technology was the ZX Microdrive developed by Sinclair Research in the UK for their ZX Spectrum and QL home computers . Eventually mass production of 5.25 '' drives resulted in lower prices , and after about 1984 they pushed cassette drives out of the US home computer market . 5.25 '' floppy disk drives would remain standard until the end of the 8 - bit era . Though external 3.5 '' drives were made available for home computer systems toward the latter part of the 1980s , almost all software sold for 8 - bit home computers remained on 5.25 '' disks ; 3.5 '' drives were used for data storage . Standardization of disk formats was not common ; sometimes even different models from the same manufacturer used different disk formats . Almost universally the floppy disk drives available for 8 - bit home computers were housed in external cases with their own controller boards and power supplies contained within . Only the later , advanced 8 - bit home computers housed their drives within the main unit ; these included the TRS - 80 Model III , TRS - 80 Model 4 , Apple IIc , and Commodore 128D . The later 16 - bit machines such as the Atari 1040ST ( not the 520ST ) , the Commodore Amigas , and the Tandy 1000s did house floppy drive ( s ) internally . At any rate , to expand any computer with additional floppy drives external units would have to be plugged in . Toward the end of the home computer era , drives for a number of home computer models appeared offering disk - format compatibility with the IBM PC . The disk drives sold with the Commodore 128 , Amiga and Atari ST were all able to read and write PC disks , which themselves were undergoing the transition from 5.25 '' to 3.5 '' format at the time ( though 5.25 '' drives remained common on PCs until the late 1990s , due to existence of the large software and data archives on five - inch floppies ) . 5.25 '' drives were made available for the ST , Amiga and Macintosh , otherwise 3.5 '' based systems with no other use for a 5.25 '' format . Hard drives were never popular on home computers , remaining an expensive , niche product mainly for BBS sysops and the few business users . Various copy protection schemes were developed for floppy disks ; most were broken in short order . Many users would only tolerate copy protection for games , as wear and tear on disks was a significant issue in an entirely floppy - based system . The ability to make a `` working backup '' disk of vital application software was seen as important . Copy programs that advertised their ability to copy or even remove common protection schemes were a common category of utility software in this pre-DMCA era . In another defining characteristic of the home computer , instead of a command line , the BASIC interpreter served double duty as a user interface . Coupled to a character - based screen or line editor , BASIC 's file management commands could be entered in direct mode . In contrast to modern computers , home computers most often had their operating system ( OS ) stored in ROM chips . This made startup times very fast -- no more than a few seconds -- but made OS upgrades difficult or impossible without buying a new unit . Usually only the most severe bugs were fixed by issuing new ROMs to replace the old ones at the user 's cost . Also , the small size and limited scope of home computer `` operating systems '' ( really little more than what today would be called a kernel ) left little room for bugs to hide . Although modern operating systems include extensive programming libraries to ease development and promote standardization , home computer operating systems provided little support to application programs beyond a character generator and input / output routines for the keyboard and peripheral ports . Professionally written software often switched out the ROM based OS anyway to free the address space it occupied and maximize RAM capacity . This gave the program full control of the hardware and allowed the programmer to optimize performance for a specific task . Games would often turn off unused I / O ports , as well as the interrupts that served them . As multitasking was never common on home computers , this practice went largely unnoticed by users . Most software even lacked an exit command , requiring a reboot to use the system for something else . In an enduring reflection of their early cassette - oriented nature , most home computers loaded their disk operating system ( DOS ) separately from the main OS . The DOS was only used for disk and file related commands and was not required to perform other computing functions . One exception was Commodore DOS , which was not loaded into the computer 's main memory at all -- Commodore disk drives contained a 6502 processor and ran DOS from internal ROM . While this gave Commodore systems some advanced capabilities -- a utility program could sideload a disk copy routine onto the drive and return control to the user while the drive copied the disk on its own -- it also made Commodore drives more expensive and difficult to clone . Many home computers had a cartridge interface which accepted ROM - based software . This was also used for expansion or upgrades such as fast loaders . Application software on cartridge did exist , which loaded instantly and eliminated the need for disk swapping on single drive setups , but the vast majority of cartridges were games . High performance ( edit ) Clock rates on the 68000 - based systems , the Atari ST and Commodore Amiga , were approximately 8 MHz with RAM capacities of 256 KB ( for the base Amiga 1000 ) up to 1024 KB ( 1 megabyte , a milestone , first seen on the Atari 1040ST ) . These systems used 3.5 '' floppy disks from the beginning but 5.25 '' drives were made available to facilitate data exchange with IBM PC compatibles . The Amiga and ST both had GUIs with windowing technology . These were inspired by the Apple Macintosh , but at a list price of US $2495 ( over $5000 in 2007 dollars ) , the Macintosh itself was too expensive for most households . The Commodore Amiga in particular had true multitasking capability and unlike all other low - cost computers of the era could run multiple applications in their own windows . Radio frequency interference ( edit ) After the first wave of game consoles and computers landed in American homes , the United States Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) began receiving complaints of electromagnetic interference to television reception . By 1979 the FCC demanded that home computer makers submit samples for radio frequency interference testing . It was found that `` first generation '' home computers emitted too much radio frequency noise for household use . The Atari 400 and 800 were designed with heavy RF shielding to meet the new requirements . Between 1980 and 1982 regulations governing RF emittance from home computers were phased in . Some companies appealed to the FCC to waive the requirements for home computers , while others ( with compliant designs ) objected to the waiver . Eventually techniques to suppress interference became standardized . Reception and sociological impact ( edit ) See also : Microcomputer revolution In 1977 , referring to computers used in home automation at the dawn of the home computer era , Digital Equipment Corporation CEO Ken Olsen is quoted as saying `` There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home . '' Despite Olsen 's warning , in the late 1970s and early 1980s , from about 1977 to 1983 , it was widely predicted that computers would soon revolutionize many aspects of home and family life as they had business practices in the previous decades . Mothers would keep their recipe catalog in `` kitchen computer '' databases and turn to a medical database for help with child care , fathers would use the family 's computer to manage family finances and track automobile maintenance . Children would use online encyclopedias for school work and would be avid video gamers . The computer would even be tasked with babysitting younger children . Home automation would bring about the intelligent home of the 1980s . Using Videotex , NAPLPS or some sort of vaguely conceptualized computer technology , television would gain interactivity . It would be possible to do the week 's grocery shopping through the television . The `` personalized newspaper '' ( to be displayed on the television screen ) was another commonly predicted application . Morning coffee would be brewed automatically under computer control . The same household computer would control the home 's lighting and temperature . Robots would take the garbage out , and be programmed to perform new tasks via the home computer . Electronics were expensive , so it was generally assumed that each home would have only one computer for the entire family to use . Home control would be performed in a multitasking time - sharing arrangement , with interfaces to the various devices it was expected to control . `` As an industry we have n't found any compelling reason to buy a computer for the home . '' -- Tandy executive Steve Leininger , July 1984 `` When the computer revolution was unofficially announced in the early 1980s , all indications were that it would change the world . Experts predicted that within five years , every household would have a computer . Dad would run his business on it . Mom would store her recipes on it . The kids would do their homework on it . Today only 15 % of American homes have a computer -- and the other 85 % do n't seem the least bit interested . There is a general feeling that the home computer was a fad and that there is really no practical purpose for a computer in the home . '' -- Commodore Magazine , September 1987 All this was predicted to be commonplace by the end of the 1980s , but by 1987 Dan Gutman wrote that the predicted revolution was `` in shambles '' , with only 15 % of American homes owning a computer . Virtually every aspect that was foreseen would be delayed to later years or would be entirely surpassed by later technological developments . The home computers of the early 1980s could not multitask , which meant that using one as a home automation or entertainment appliance would require it be kept powered on at all times and dedicated exclusively for this use . Even if the computers could be used for multiple purposes simultaneously as today , other technical limitations predominated ; memory capacities were too small to hold entire encyclopedias or databases of financial records ; floppy disk - based storage was inadequate in both capacity and speed for multimedia work ; and the home computers ' graphics chips could only display blocky , unrealistic images and blurry , jagged text that would be difficult to read a newspaper from . Although CD - ROM technology was introduced in 1985 with much promise for its future use , the drives were prohibitively expensive and only interfaced with IBM PCs and compatibles . The Boston Phoenix stated in 1983 that `` people are catching on to the fact that ' applications ' like balancing your checkbook and filing kitchen recipes are actually faster and easier to do with a pocket calculator and a box of index cards '' . inCider observed that `` companies can not live by dilettantes alone '' . Gutman wrote that when the first computer boom ended in 1984 , `` Suddenly , everybody was saying that the home computer was a fad , just another hula hoop '' . Robert Lydon , publisher of Personal Computing , stated in 1985 that the home market `` never really existed . It was a fad . Just about everyone who was going to buy a computer for their home has done it '' , and predicted that Apple would cease to exist within two years . Home computers of the 1980s have been called `` a technology in search of a use '' . A 1982 survey of Los Angeles home - computer users found that although they purchased their computers primarily for hobbies and education , word processing and games were the two main uses . In 1984 Tandy executive Steve Leininger , designer of the TRS - 80 Model I , admitted that `` As an industry we have n't found any compelling reason to buy a computer for the home '' other than for word processing . `` For more than three years now , it has been the secret of the home computer industry , seldom whispered aloud : No one has figured out how a computer can be truly useful at home '' , The New York Times stated in 1985 . It quoted Sculley of Apple denying that a home computer market existed at all : `` People use computers in the home , of course , but for education and running a small business . There are not uses in the home itself '' . A study that year found that , during a typical week , 40 % of adult computer owners did not use their computers at all . Usage rates among children were higher , with households reporting that only 16 - 20 % of children aged 6 -- -- 17 did not use the computer during a typical week . It would take another 10 years for technology to mature , for the graphical user interface to make the computer approachable for non-technical users , and for the World Wide Web to provide a compelling reason for most people to want a computer in their homes . Separate 1998 studies found that 75 % of Americans with Internet access accessed primarily from home and that not having Internet access at home inhibited Internet use . Predicted aspects of the revolution were left by the wayside or modified in the face of an emerging reality . The cost of electronics dropped precipitously and today many families have a computer for each family member , or a laptop for mom 's active lifestyle , a desktop for dad with the kids sharing a computer . Encyclopedias , recipe catalogs and medical databases are kept online and accessed over the World Wide Web -- not stored locally on floppy disks or CD - ROM . TV has yet to gain substantial interactivity ; instead , the web has evolved alongside television , giving rise to the second screen concept . The HTPC and services like Netflix , Google TV or Apple TV , along with internet video sites such as YouTube and Hulu , may one day replace traditional broadcast and cable television . Our coffee may be brewed automatically every morning , but the computer is a simple one embedded in the coffee maker , not under external control . As of 2008 , robots are just beginning to make an impact in the home , with Roomba and Aibo leading the charge . This delay was n't out of keeping with other technologies newly introduced to an unprepared public . Early motorists were widely derided with the cry of `` Get a horse ! '' until the automobile was accepted . Television languished in research labs for decades before regular public broadcasts began . In an example of changing applications for technology , before the invention of radio , the telephone was used to distribute opera and news reports , whose subscribers were denounced as `` illiterate , blind , bedridden and incurably lazy people '' . Likewise , the acceptance of computers into daily life today is a product of continuing refinement of both technology and perception . Use in the 21st century ( edit ) Retrocomputing is the use of vintage hardware , possibly performing modern tasks such as surfing the web and email . As programming techniques evolved and these systems were well understood after decades of use , it became possible to write software giving home computers capabilities undreamed of by their designers . The Contiki OS implements a GUI and TCP / IP stack on the Apple II , Commodore 8 - bit and Atari ST ( 16 - bit ) platforms , allowing these home computers to function as both internet clients and servers . The Commodore 64 has been repackaged as the C - One and C64 Direct - to - TV , both designed by Jeri Ellsworth with modern enhancements . Throughout the 1990s and 1st decade of the 21st century , many home computer systems were available inexpensively at garage sales and on eBay . Many enthusiasts started to collect home computers , with older and rarer systems being much sought after . Sometimes the collections turned into a virtual museum presented on web sites . As their often - inexpensively manufactured hardware ages and the supply of replacement parts dwindles , it has become popular among enthusiasts to emulate these machines , recreating their software environments on modern computers . One of the more well - known emulators is the Multi Emulator Super System ( MESS ) which can emulate most of the better - known home computers . A more or less complete list of home computer emulators can be found in the List of computer system emulators article . Games for many 8 and 16 bit home computers are becoming available for the Wii Virtual Console . Notable home computers ( edit ) Further information on home computer models : List of home computers The 1977 Apple II with 2 Disk II disk drives and an Apple monitor The time line below describes many of the most popular or significant home computers of the late 1970s and of the 1980s . The most popular home computers in the USA up to 1985 were : the TRS - 80 ( 1977 ) , various models of the Apple II family ( first introduced in 1977 ) , the Atari 400 / 800 ( 1979 ) along with its follow up models the 800XL and 130XE , and the Commodore VIC - 20 ( 1980 ) and the Commodore 64 ( 1982 ) . The VIC was the first computer of any type to sell over one million units , and the 64 is still the highest - selling single model of personal computer ever , with over 17 million produced before production stopped in 1994 -- a 12 - year run with only minor changes . At one point in 1983 Commodore was selling as many 64s as the rest of the industry 's computers combined . The British market was different , as relatively high prices and lower disposable incomes reduced the appeal of most American products . New Scientist stated in 1977 that `` the price of an American kit in dollars rapidly translates into the same figure in pounds sterling by the time it has reached the shores of Britain '' . The Commodore 64 was also popular , but a BYTE columnist stated in 1985 : It 's not easy for a U.K. citizen to write about home computers for an American magazine . We use the term to refer to an altogether different object on our side of the Atlantic . In the U.S.A. , an Apple II is a home computer ; the IBM PC in its smaller configurations is a home computer ; the Macintosh is a home computer . Home computers use floppy disks for mass storage and perform useful functions like word processing and income tax preparation as well as playing games . In the U.K. , those computers would be considered rather expensive as business computers , let alone for home use . Home computers typically cost less than £ 200 ( about $250 ) and use cassette tape recorders for mass storage . We have various manufacturers of our own , some unheard of in the U.S.A. ... Even when we do have machines in common ( the Commodore 64 ) , I suspect that the vast majority of U.S. users buy the disk drive , while the majority of U.K. users have only the cassette deck . Many of the British - made systems like Sinclair 's ZX81 and Spectrum , and later the Amstrad / Schneider CPC were much more widely used in Europe than US systems . A few low - cost British Sinclair models were sold in the US by Timex Corporation as the Timex Sinclair 1000 and the ill - fated Timex Sinclair 2068 , but neither established a strong following . The only transatlantic success was the Commodore 64 , which competed favorably price-wise with the British systems , and was the most popular system in Europe as in the USA . Until the introduction of the IBM PC in 1981 , computers such as the Apple II and TRS 80 also found considerable use in office work . In 1983 IBM introduced the PCjr in an attempt to continue their business computer success in the home computer market , but incompatibilities between it and the standard PC kept users away . Assisted by a large public domain software library and promotional offers from Commodore , the PET had a sizable presence in the North American education market until that segment was largely ceded to the Apple II as Commodore focused on the C - 64 's success in the mass retail market . 1970s ( edit ) Three microcomputers were the prototypes for what would later become the home computer market segment ; but when introduced they sold as much to hobbyists and small businesses as to the home . June 1977 : Apple II ( North America ) , color graphics , eight expansion slots ; one of the first computers to use a typewriter - like plastic case design . August 1977 : Tandy Radio Shack TRS - 80 ( N. Am . ) , first home computer for less than US $600 , used a dedicated monitor for US Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) rules compliance . October 1977 : Commodore PET ( N. Am . ) , first all - in - one computer : keyboard / screen / tape storage built into stamped sheet metal enclosure . The following computers also introduced significant advancements to the home computer segment : 1979 : TI - 99 / 4 , first home computer with a 16 - bit processor and first to add sprite graphics 1979 : Atari 400 / 800 ( N. Am . ) , first computer with custom chip set and programmable video chip and built - in audio output 1980s ( edit ) No computer has sold more units than the Commodore 64 . The East German Robotron KC 85 / 1 was virtually not available for sale due to huge demand by industrial , educational , and military institutions . 1980 : Commodore VIC - 20 ( N. Am . ) , under US $300 ; first computer of any kind to pass one million sold . 1980 : TRS - 80 Color Computer ( N. Am . ) , Motorola 6809 , optional OS - 9 multi-user multi-tasking . July 1980 : TRS - 80 Model III ( N. Am . ) , essentially a TRS - 80 Model I repackaged in an all - in - one cabinet , to comply with FCC regulations for radiofrequency interference , to eliminate cable clutter , and use only one electrical outlet . Some enhancements like extended character set , repeating keys , and real time clock . June 1981 : Texas Instruments TI - 99 / 4A , based on the less successful TI - 99 / 4 . 1981 : Sinclair ZX81 ( Europe ) , £ 49.95 in kit form ; £ 69.95 pre-built , released as Timex Sinclair 1000 in US in 1982 . 1981 : BBC Micro ( Europe ) , premier educational computer in the UK for a decade ; advanced BBC BASIC with integrated 6502 machine code assembler , featured a myriad of I / O ports , ~ 1.5 million sold . April 1982 : Sinclair ZX Spectrum ( Europe ) , best - selling British home computer ; catalysed the UK software industry , widely cloned by the Soviet Union . August 1982 : Commodore 64 ( N. Am . ) , custom graphic & synthesizer chipset , best - selling computer model of all time : ~ 17 million sold . January 1983 : Apple IIe , Apple II enhanced . Reduced component count and production costs enabled high - volume production , until 1993 . 1983 : Coleco Adam , one of the few home computers to be sold only as a complete system with storage device and printer ; cousin to the ColecoVision game console . 1983 : MSX ( Japan , Korea , the Arab League , Europe , N + S. Am. , USSR ) , a computer ' reference design ' by ASCII and Microsoft , produced by several companies : ~ 5 million sold . 1983 : VTech Laser 200 , entry level computer aimed at being the cheapest on market , also sold as Salora Fellow , Texet TX8000 & Dick Smith VZ 200 . January 1984 : The Apple Macintosh is introduced , providing many consumers their first look at a graphical user interface , which would eventually replace the home computer as it was known . April 1984 : Apple IIc , Apple II compact . No expansion slots , and built - in ports for pseudo-plug and play ease of use . The Apple II most geared to home use , to complement the Apple IIe 's dominant education market share . 1985 : Elektronika BK - 0010 , one of the first 16 - bit home computers ; made in USSR . 1985 : Atari ST ( N. Am . ) , first with a graphical user interface ( GEM ) for less than US $1000 ; first with built - in MIDI interface ; also 1 MB RAM and 16 - bit Motorola 68000 processor for under US $1000 . June 1985 : Commodore 128 ( N. Am . ) Final , most advanced 8 - bit Commodore , retained full C64 compatibility while adding CP / M in a complex multi-mode architecture July 1985 : Commodore Amiga ( N. Am . ) , custom chip set for graphics and digital audio ; multitasking OS with both GUI and CLI interfaces ; 16 - bit Motorola 68000 processor . Initially designed as a game console but repositioned as a home computer . 1986 : Apple IIGS , Fifth and final model in the Apple II series , with greatly enhanced graphics and sound abilities . Used a 16 - bit 65C816 CPU , the same as used in the Super Nintendo Entertainment System . June 1987 : Acorn Archimedes ( Europe ) , launched with an 8 MHz 32 - bit ARM 2 microprocessor , with between 512 KB and 4 MB of RAM , and an optional 20 or 40 MB hard drive . October 1987 : Commodore Amiga 500 ( N. Am . ) , Amiga repackaged into a C64 - like housing with keyboard and motherboard in the same enclosure , along with a 3.5 '' floppy disk drive . Introduced at the same time as the more expandable Amiga 2000 .

In response to its designers ' ambitions and a changing marketplace , it evolved from a video game console into a home computer before it even reached the prototype stage . Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ In 1978 a Z80 based home computer called the Exidy Sorcerer was introduced , starting at $895 . It was similar to the TRS - 80 but ran the industry standard CP / M operating system . Also in 1978 , in Japan , Sharp introduced its Sharp MZ computer aimed at consumers . It was the first of a series of Z80 machines which sold well in Europe . Later in 1982 Sharp launched its similar but more advanced X1 . Another early and ( relatively ) inexpensive Z80 computer was the Heathkit H89 first available in 1979 . It cost $2295 preassembled or $1595 as a kit . It used its own OS called HDOS but later CP / M became standard . Jump up ^ In late 1979 Apple upgraded its Apple II with the II Plus . Tandy / Radio Shack replaced its Model I with the shielded , all - in - one Model III , which added a few new features . This period is unique because for the first time used computers became available , as owners upgraded to newer models . Users satisfied with older technology but interested in saving money could find bargains not only for the computers but also for peripherals . Technically savvy individuals often found that newer technology could be retrofitted to obsolete computers . In the Netherlands in 1982 , a small firm called MCP ( Music Computer Products ) made a hybrid Model III - CP / M computer they called the Aster CT - 80 , which was notably advanced . Jump up ^ In October 1983 the Coleco Adam was developed from the Colecovision game console . It caused a commotion in the market with advanced features ( Z80 chip with 64KB memory and CP / M capability , color graphics , decent keyboard and letter - quality printer ) , an existing large library of game programs , and an affordable price , but suffered from major technical deficiencies . The Commodore 16 was a low - end machine meant to compete against the TI , Mattel Aquarius , and Timex / Sinclair computers . It lost importance when these competitors were withdrawn . Further , it was technically related to the failed business - oriented Commodore Plus / 4 and was incompatible with the VIC - 20 and C - 64 , which doomed it to obscurity . Atari also produced the 600XL , a smaller companion to the 800XL . It had 16 KB RAM but was otherwise similar . Tandy / Radio Shack also produced the ultra-cheap lesser - known MC - 10 . In the UK , Acorn produced its Electron , which was a budget version of the BBC Micro , and Dragon Data in Wales produced a Color Computer workalike based on the 6809 , the Dragon 32 . In Japan , Fujitsu marketed the Coco - like FM - 7 . Jump up ^ See text below for descriptions of other popular PCs for the home market : Epson Equity , Leading Edge Models M and D , Hyundai Blue Chip , Amstrad PC - 1512 , Zenith eaZy PC , and Commodore and Atari PC - compatibles . Also during this period Apple introduced its Apple IIc and Tandy / Radio Shack the last of its Z80 powered line , the TRS - 80 Model 4D . Jump up ^ In late 1990 Apple produced its Macintosh LC ( Low Cost ) , which was meant to compete with cheap PCs for the home and small business markets . It was priced around $3000 with a color monitor . The Commodore 64 was repackaged as the C - 64C , the Atari 800XL was repackaged as the Atari 65XE , and an enhanced version with 128 KB of banked RAM was produced as the Atari 130XE . The Atari STs evolved into the 32 - bit TT030 and Falcon , and Amigas likewise grew into various models ( A600 , A1200 , A2000 , A3000 , A4000 ) with 32 - bit 680x0 CPUs with faster clock rates and megabytes of RAM . In Japan , in 1987 Sharp produced its advanced X68000 strictly for the Japanese market . All these updated computer lines , 8 - , 16 - , and 32 - bit , continued to sell into the early 1990s .

Patsy Cline herself puts a wrinkle into this . The story goes that she was in Owen Bradley 's office one day , heard the record Smith made , and immediately wanted the song for herself . According to Smith , `` He said , ' no you ca n't have it . I 'm going to see what that Canadian gal does with it . ' '' Cline apparently said pretty please with sugar on top , but Bradley and the label would n't back down . Smith 's single , released in 1962 , did n't crack the top - 40 , but sold more than 100,000 copies , a major hit for a first record and enough that the Canadian gal recouped the considerable studio expenses and actually made a little money in royalties . Patsy Cline wound up recording the song and releasing it in 1963 . It did n't make the hit parade , either . It was her last single before she died in a plane crash in March of that year . Unlike her earlier hits `` Crazy '' and `` I Fall to Pieces '' , `` Leavin ' On Your Mind '' was an unfortunate failure on the pop chart , where it stalled at # 83 . However , the song today remains a classic in Country music . Initially , Cline was going to release the single on her next upcoming , fourth album called Faded Love , along with two other singles that year . However , the album was never released due to the tragic event that ended her life , which was a plane crash that March . The album was to be released at the end of March . Instead , the album was released on a double compilation album called The Patsy Cline Story . This album featured all of Cline 's big hits , starting for her first in 1957 to 1963 . The album was a huge hit and is still being sold today .

Joyce Smith was one of only a handful to have her early records sell in excess of 100,000 copies in the U.S. which Decca said was a major hit for a first record . Joyce recorded several singles for Decca in the 60 's . Her many years of superb performances at rodeos , on TV , and live concerts around the world , and her many industry awards and accolades truly set her apart as a Country Music Legend and a first class lady . Joyce was inducted into the National Traditional Country Music Hall of Fame in the U.S in 2007 and in 2010 was inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame . Joyce makes her home in Edmonton , Alberta Canada and still performs regularly with the Canadian Country Music Legends Show .

Cover versions ( edit ) LeAnn Rimes recorded a cover of the song for her LeAnn Rimes ( album ) in 1999 . Rissi Palmer recorded a cover of the song for her self - titled debut album in 2007 .

For a more extensive list of nitrogen oxides , see nitrogen oxide . For other meanings of `` Nox '' , see Nox . In atmospheric chemistry , NO is a generic term for the nitrogen oxides that are most relevant for air pollution , namely nitric oxide ( NO ) and nitrogen dioxide ( NO ) . These gases contribute to the formation of smog and acid rain , as well as tropospheric ozone . NO gases are usually produced from the reaction among nitrogen and oxygen during combustion of fuels , such as hydrocarbons , in air ; especially at high temperatures , such as occur in car engines . In areas of high motor vehicle traffic , such as in large cities , the nitrogen oxides emitted can be a significant source of air pollution . NO gases are also produced naturally by lightning . The term NO is chemistry shorthand for molecules containing one nitrogen and one or more oxygen atom . It is generally meant to include nitrous oxide ( N O ) , a fairly inert oxide of nitrogen that has many uses as an oxidizer for rockets and car engines , an anesthetic , and a propellant for aerosol sprays and whipped cream . Nitrous oxide plays hardly any role in air pollution , although it may have a significant impact on the ozone layer , and is a significant greenhouse gas . NO ( reactive , free radical ) is defined as the sum of NO plus the NO compounds produced from the oxidation of NO which include nitric acid .

But at high temperatures , they undergo an endothermic reaction producing various oxides of nitrogen . Such temperatures arise inside an internal combustion engine or a power station boiler , during the combustion of a mixture of air and fuel , and naturally in a lightning flash . In atmospheric chemistry , the term NO denotes the total concentration of NO and NO . During daylight , these concentrations together with that of ozone are in steady state ; the ratio of NO to NO is determined by the intensity of sunshine ( which converts NO to NO ) and the concentration of ozone ( which reacts with NO to again form NO ) . The time constant to establish the steady state is 1 / k ( NO ) where k is the rate coefficient of the reaction NO + O → NO + O for mixing ratio of NO , ( NO ) , = 1 part per billion ( ppb ) , the time constant is 40 minutes ; for ( NO ) = 10 ppb , 4 minutes . When NO and volatile organic compounds ( VOCs ) react in the presence of sunlight , they form photochemical smog , a significant form of air pollution , especially in the summer . Children , people with lung diseases such as asthma , and people who work or exercise outside are particularly susceptible to adverse effects of smog such as damage to lung tissue and reduction in lung function . Formation of nitric acid and acid rain ( edit ) NO is further oxidized in the gas phase during daytime by reaction with OH NO + OH ( + M ) → HNO ( + M ) , where M denotes a third molecule required to stabilize the addition product . Nitric acid ( HNO ) is highly soluble in liquid water in aerosol particles or cloud drops . NO also reacts with ozone to form nitrate radical NO + O → NO + O . During the day NO is quickly photolyzed back to NO , but at night it can react with a second NO to form dinitrogen pentoxide NO + NO ( + M ) → N O ( + M ) . N O reacts rapidly with liquid water ( in aerosol particles or cloud drops , but not in the gas phase ) to form nitric acid HNO , N O + H O ( liq ) → 2 HNO ( aq ) These are thought to be the principal pathways for formation of nitric acid in the atmosphere . This nitric acid contributes to acid rain or may deposit to soil , where it makes nitrate , which is of use to growing plants . The aqueous phase reaction 2 NO + H O → HNO + HNO is too slow to be of any significance in the atmosphere . Sources ( edit ) Natural sources ( edit ) Nitric oxide is produced during thunderstorms due to the extreme heat of lightning , and is caused by the splitting of nitrogen molecules . This can result in the production of acid rain , if nitric oxide forms compounds with the water molecules in precipitation . Scientists Ott et al. estimated that each flash of lightning on average in the several mid-latitude and subtropical thunderstorms studied turned 7 kg ( 15 lb ) of nitrogen into chemically reactive NO . With 1.4 billion lightning flashes per year , multiplied by 7 kilograms per lightning strike , they estimated the total amount of NO produced by lightning per year is 8.6 million tonnes . However , NO emissions resulting from fossil fuel combustion are estimated at 28.5 million tonnes . A recent discovery indicated that cosmic ray and solar flares can significantly influence the number of lightning strikes occurring on Earth . Therefore , space weather can be a major driving force of lightning - produced atmospheric NO . It should also be noted that atmospheric constituents such as nitrogen oxides can be stratified vertically in the atmosphere . Ott noted that the lightning - produced NO is typically found at altitudes greater than 5 km , while combustion and biogenic ( soil ) NO are typically found near the sources at near surface elevation ( where it can cause the most significant health effects ) . Biogenic sources ( edit ) Agricultural fertilization and the use of nitrogen fixing plants also contribute to atmospheric NO , by promoting nitrogen fixation by microorganisms . Industrial sources ( anthropogenic sources ) ( edit ) The three primary sources of NO in combustion processes : thermal NO fuel NO prompt NO Thermal NO formation , which is highly temperature dependent , is recognized as the most relevant source when combusting natural gas . Fuel NO tends to dominate during the combustion of fuels , such as coal , which have a significant nitrogen content , particularly when burned in combustors designed to minimise thermal NO . The contribution of prompt NO is normally considered negligible . A fourth source , called feed NO is associated with the combustion of nitrogen present in the feed material of cement rotary kilns , at between 300 and 800 ° C , where it is also a minor contributor . Thermal ( edit ) Thermal NO refers to NO formed through high temperature oxidation of the diatomic nitrogen found in combustion air . The formation rate is primarily a function of temperature and the residence time of nitrogen at that temperature . At high temperatures , usually above 1600 ° C ( 2900 ° F ) , molecular nitrogen ( N ) and oxygen ( O ) in the combustion air disassociate into their atomic states and participate in a series of reactions . The three principal reactions ( the extended Zel'dovich mechanism ) producing thermal NO are : N + O → NO + N N + O → NO + O N + OH → NO + H All three reactions are reversible . Zeldovich was the first to suggest the importance of the first two reactions . The last reaction of atomic nitrogen with the hydroxyl radical , HO , was added by Lavoie , Heywood and Keck to the mechanism and makes a significant contribution to the formation of thermal NO . Fuel ( edit ) It is estimated that transportation fuels cause 54 % of the anthropogenic ( i.e. human - caused ) NO . The major source of NO production from nitrogen - bearing fuels such as certain coals and oil , is the conversion of fuel bound nitrogen to NO during combustion . During combustion , the nitrogen bound in the fuel is released as a free radical and ultimately forms free N , or NO . Fuel NO can contribute as much as 50 % of total emissions when combusting oil and as much as 80 % when combusting coal . Although the complete mechanism is not fully understood , there are two primary paths of formation . The first involves the oxidation of volatile nitrogen species during the initial stages of combustion . During the release and before the oxidation of the volatiles , nitrogen reacts to form several intermediaries which are then oxidized into NO . If the volatiles evolve into a reducing atmosphere , the nitrogen evolved can readily be made to form nitrogen gas , rather than NO . The second path involves the combustion of nitrogen contained in the char matrix during the combustion of the char portion of the fuels . This reaction occurs much more slowly than the volatile phase . Only around 20 % of the char nitrogen is ultimately emitted as NO , since much of the NO that forms during this process is reduced to nitrogen by the char , which is nearly pure carbon . Prompt ( edit ) This third source is attributed to the reaction of atmospheric nitrogen , N , with radicals such as C , CH , and CH fragments derived from fuel , where this can not be explained by either the aforementioned thermal or fuel processes . Occurring in the earliest stage of combustion , this results in the formation of fixed species of nitrogen such as NH ( nitrogen monohydride ) , HCN ( hydrogen cyanide ) , H CN ( dihydrogen cyanide ) and CN ( cyano radical ) which can oxidize to NO . In fuels that contain nitrogen , the incidence of prompt NO is especially minimal and it is generally only of interest for the most exacting emission targets . Health and Environment. effects ( edit ) NO reacts with ammonia , moisture , and other compounds to form nitric acid vapor and related particles . Small particles can penetrate deeply into sensitive lung tissue and damage it , causing premature death in extreme cases . Inhalation of such particles may cause or worsen respiratory diseases , such as emphysema or bronchitis , or may also aggravate existing heart disease . NO reacts with volatile organic compounds in the presence of sunlight to form and to destroy ozone . Ozone can cause adverse effects such as damage to lung tissue and reduction in lung function mostly in susceptible populations ( children , elderly , asthmatics ) . Ozone can be transported by wind currents and cause health impacts far from the original sources . The American Lung Association estimates that nearly 50 percent of United States inhabitants live in counties that are not in ozone compliance . In South East England , ground level ozone pollution tends to be highest in the countryside and in suburbs , while in central London and on major roads NO emissions are able to `` mop up '' ozone to form NO and oxygen . NO also readily reacts with common organic chemicals , and even ozone , to form a wide variety of toxic products : nitroarenes , nitrosamines and also the nitrate radical some of which may cause DNA mutations . Recently another pathway , via NO , to ozone has been found that predominantly occurs in coastal areas via formation of nitryl chloride when NO comes into contact with salt mist . NO emissions also cause global cooling through the formation of OH radicals that destroy methane molecules , countering the effect of greenhouse gases . The effect can be significant . For instance , according to the OECD `` the large NO emissions from ship traffic lead to significant increases in hydroxyl ( OH ) , which is the major oxidant in the lower atmosphere . Since reaction with OH is a major way of removing methane from the atmosphere , ship emissions decrease methane concentrations . ( Reductions in methane lifetimes due to shipping - based NO emissions vary between 1.5 % and 5 % in different calculations ) . '' `` In summary , most studies so far indicate that ship emissions actually lead to a net global cooling . However , it should be stressed that the uncertainties with this conclusion are large , in particular for indirect effects , and global temperature is only a first measure of the extent of climate change in any event . '' The ultimate destination of much NO is to end up in the soil as nitrite or nitrate , which are useful to growing plants . Biodiesel and NO ( edit ) Biodiesel and its blends in general are known to reduce harmful tailpipe emissions such as : carbon monoxide ; particulate matter ( PM ) , otherwise known as soot ; and unburned hydrocarbon emissions . While earlier studies suggested biodiesel could sometimes decrease NOx and sometimes increase NOx emissions , subsequent investigation has shown that blends of up to 20 % biodiesel in USEPA - approved diesel fuel have no significant impact on NOx emissions compared with regular diesel . The state of California uses a special formulation of diesel fuel to produce less NOx relative to diesel fuel used in the other 49 states . This has been deemed necessary by the California Air Resources Board ( CARB ) to offset the combination of vehicle congestion , warm temperatures , extensive sunlight , PM , and topography that all contribute to the formation of ozone and smog . CARB has established a special regulation for Alternative Diesel Fuels to ensure that any new fuels , including biodiesel , coming into the market do not substantially increase NOx emissions . The reduction of NO emissions is one of the most important challenges for advances in vehicle technology . While diesel vehicles sold in the US since 2010 are dramatically cleaner than previous diesel vehicles , urban areas continue to seek more ways to reduce the formation of smog and ozone . NO formation during combustion is associated with a number of factors such as combustion temperature . As such , it can be observed that the vehicle drive cycle , or the load on the engine have more significant impact on NOx emissions than the type of fuel used . This may be especially true for modern , clean diesel vehicles that continuously monitor engine operation electronically and actively control engine parameters and exhaust system operations to limit NOx emission to less than 0.2 g / km . Low - temperature combustion or LTC technology . may help reduce thermal formation of NO during combustion , however a tradeoff exists as high temperature combustion produces less PM or soot and results in greater power and fuel efficiency . Regulation and emission control technologies ( edit ) Selective catalytic reduction ( SCR ) and selective non-catalytic reduction ( SNCR ) reduce post combustion NO by reacting the exhaust with urea or ammonia to produce nitrogen and water . SCR is now being used in ships , diesel trucks and in some diesel cars . The use of exhaust gas recirculation and catalytic converters in motor vehicle engines have significantly reduced vehicular emissions . NO was the main focus of the Volkswagen emissions violations . Other technologies such as flameless oxidation ( FLOX ) and staged combustion significantly reduce thermal NO in industrial processes . Bowin low NO technology is a hybrid of staged - premixed - radiant combustion technology with a major surface combustion preceded by a minor radiant combustion . In the Bowin burner , air and fuel gas are premixed at a ratio greater than or equal to the stoichiometric combustion requirement . Water Injection technology , whereby water is introduced into the combustion chamber , is also becoming an important means of NO reduction through increased efficiency in the overall combustion process . Alternatively , the water ( e.g. 10 to 50 % ) is emulsified into the fuel oil before the injection and combustion . This emulsification can either be made in - line ( unstabilized ) just before the injection or as a drop - in fuel with chemical additives for long term emulsion stability ( stabilized ) . Inline emulsified fuel / water mixtures show NO reductions between 4 and 83 % . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Mollenhauer , Klaus ; Tschöke , Helmut ( 2010 ) . Handbook of Diesel Engines .

Currently , the Premier League does not have a maximum restriction on the number of foreign players allowed on a team , but does require at least eight homegrown players . Greg Dyke , new chairman of the Football Association ( FA ) , wants to implement much stronger regulation of foreign players . His intention is clear as stated in an op - ed piece so that England can win the 2022 World Cup in Qatar . Some of Dyke 's propositions include : homegrown players in a top - flight 25 - man first - team squad be increased from eight to 12 two of which must be brought up in the teams youth system , and also changing the definition of what it is to be a homegrown player . Currently , to be classified as homegrown one must be on an English team for at least three years before the age of twenty - one in which Dyke would like to reduce to eighteen years . This would mean a teenager would have to be with the club at a maximum age of fifteen and players are not allowed to move across national boundaries , even European Union boundaries , before 16 . Meaning such that , if a foreign player joined an English youth academy at sixteen , in three years time he would be nineteen . Thus said player failing to qualify as a homegrown player due to the fact he would be older than eighteen . Each season the Premier League lists the squads for each of its clubs for the season on 1 September ( after the summer transfer window closes ) . Each club is able to list up to 17 senior players that are not English or Welsh & did not spend a significant period in an English or Welsh academy , plus 8 ' home - grown ' players , plus an unlimited number of academy & youth players . The list for 2017 contains a number of ' home - grown players ' that are not English / Welsh born or qualified including Chelsea 's Cesc Fabregas ( 110 Spain caps ) , Manchester United 's Paul Pogba ( once a world record transfer fee for the France midfielder ) , Manchester United 's Romelu Lukaku ( Belgium national team record goalscorer ) , Nigerian Chelsea player Victor Moses & Arsenal 's Spain international Hector Bellerin .

These revolutions followed the American and French Revolutions , which had profound effects on the British , Spanish , Portuguese and French colonies in the Americas . Haiti , a French slave colony , was the first to follow the United States to independence , during the Haitian Revolution , which lasted from 1791 to 1804 . From this emerged Napoleon Bonaparte as French ruler , whose armies set out to conquer Europe , including Spain and Portugal in 1808 . The Peninsular War , which resulted from the Napoleonic occupation of Spain , caused Spanish Creoles in Spanish America to question their allegiance to Spain , stoking independence movements that culminated in the wars of independence , which lasted almost two decades . At the same time , the Portuguese monarchy relocated to Brazil during Portugal 's French occupation . After the royal court returned to Lisbon , the prince regent , Pedro , remained in Brazil and in 1822 successfully declared himself emperor of a newly independent Brazil .

This infuriated many colonists , and eventually became the spark that ignited the American Revolutionary War . Initial fighting began in 1775 and lasted until October 1781 , when with French aid under Lafayette defeated the British army . British General Cornwallis surrendered in Yorktown , Virginia . The American colonists subsequently , coming after or later , founded a federated republican government grounded in Enlightenment thought . A wave of revolutions followed the conclusion of the American Revolution . The remaining portion of British North America ( Upper and Lower Canada ) remained loyal to the British crown . French Revolution ( edit ) Main article : French Revolution The French Revolution ( 1789 -- 1799 ) started during the storming of the Bastille , and was a period of political and social upheaval in the political history of France and Europe as a whole , during which the French governmental structure , previously an absolute monarchy with feudal privileges for the aristocracy and Catholic clergy , underwent radical change to forms based on Enlightenment principles of democracy , citizenship , and inalienable rights . These changes were accompanied by violent turmoil , including executions and repression during the Reign of Terror , and warfare involving every other major European power . Napoleonic wars ( edit ) Main articles : Napoleonic Wars and Peninsular War Evolving from the wars that Revolutionary France fought with the rest of Europe , the Napoleonic Wars were a series of wars fought between France ( led by Napoleon Bonaparte ) and alliances involving Britain , Prussia , Spain , Portugal , Russia and Austria at different times , from 1799 to 1815 . In the case of Spain and its colonies , in May 1808 , Napoleon captured Carlos IV and King Fernando VII and installed his own brother , Joseph Bonaparte on the Spanish Throne because he did n't want anyone outside of his own bloodline to rule Spain . This pivotal point greatly disrupted the political stability of both Spain and its colonies . Cities throughout Spain and its colonies in America each formed governing bodies primarily consisting of local elites . These ruling local elites were called juntas and their underlying principal in taking power over their communities was that `` in absence of the king , Fernando VII , their sovereignty devolved temporarily back to the community . '' The juntas swore loyalty to the captive Fernando VII and each ruled different and diverse parts of the colony . Most of Fernando 's subjects were loyal to him in 1808 , but after he was restored to the Spanish crown in 1814 , his policy of restoring absolute power alienated both the juntas and his subjects . He abrogated the Cadiz Constitution of 1812 and persecuted anyone who had supported it . The violence used by royalist forces and the prospect of being ruled by Fernando shifted the majority of the colonist population in favor of separation from Spain . Spanish military presence in its colonies ( edit ) Graphs showing the make - up of the royalist army at the time of the revolution . The royalists were the American and European supporters of King Ferdinand . Americans and formed the royalist army , with Americans composing 9 % of the royalist forces in all fronts . There were two types of units : the expeditionary units created in Spain and militias created in the Americas . The militias included some veteran units ( called the disciplined militia ) . Only 11 % of the personnel in the militias were European or American whites . After Rafael del Riego 's revolution , in 1820 , no more Spanish soldiers were sent to the wars in the Americas . In 1820 there were only 10,001 Spanish soldiers in the Americas , and Spaniards formed only 10 % of all the royalist armies , and only half of the soldiers of the expeditionary units were European . By the Battle of Ayacucho in 1824 , less than 1 % of the soldiers were European . Other factors ( edit ) Main articles : Enlightenment Spain and Bourbon Reforms Other factors included Enlightenment thinking . The Enlightenment spurred the desire for social and economic reform to spread throughout Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula . Ideas about free trade and physiocratic economics were raised by the Enlightenment . The Caribbean ( edit ) Main articles : Haitian Revolution and History of the Dominican Republic § 1540 -- 1844 Independence movements in South America can be traced back to slave revolts in plantations in the northernmost part of the continent and Caribbean . In 1791 , a massive slave revolt sparked a general insurrection against the plantation system and French colonial power . These events were followed by a violent uprising led by José Leonardo Chirino and José Caridad González that sprung up in 1795 Venezuela , allegedly inspired by the revolution in Haiti . Main articles : History of Central America § Independence , History of Cuba § The 19th century : Years of upheaval , and History of Puerto Rico § Early 19th century When Mexico achieved its independence in 1821 with the Treaty of Córdoba , the Captaincy General of Guatemala that had ruled Central America became politically independent as well , without the necessity of violent struggle . Guatemala declared its own independence September 15 , 1821 , likely to prevent the Mexican Army of the Three Guarantees from `` liberating '' Guatemala and over-riding nascent local autonomy . However , Guatemala chose to the annexed to the First Mexican Empire , led by royalist - turned - insurgent military leader Agustín de Iturbide , who was proclaimed emperor of Mexico in 1822 . When Iturbide abdicated from the monarchy and Mexico took steps to be a republic , Central America claimed its independence . Portuguese America ( edit ) Main articles : Portuguese colonization of the Americas , Colonial Brazil , and Brazilian Declaration of Independence After several failed revolts , The Portuguese colony of Brazil declared independence , forming a separate , local Empire founded by Prince Regent Dom Pedro I . The war between the Brazilians and Portuguese lasted from February 1822 , with the burst of first skirmishes between militias , to November 1823 , when the last Portuguese garrisons surrendered . The Brazilian Empire lasted until a coup in 1889 overthrew the monarchy leading to its current status as a republic . Spanish America ( edit ) Main article : Spanish American wars of independence The crisis of political legitimacy in Spain with the Napoleonic invasion sparked reaction in Spain 's overseas empire . The outcome in Spanish America was that most of the region achieved political independence and instigated the creation of sovereign nations . The areas that were most recently formed as viceroyalties were the first to achieve independence , with the old centers of Spanish power in Mexico and Peru with strong and entrenched institutions and elites were the last to achieve independence in this era . The two exceptions to independence were the islands of Cuba and Puerto Rico , which with the Philippines , remained Spanish colonies until the 1898 Spanish - America War . Argentina ( edit ) Main article : Argentine War of Independence After the defeat of Spain in the Peninsular War and the abdication King Ferdinand VII , the Spanish colonial government of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata , present - day Argentina , Bolivia , Paraguay , Peru and Uruguay , became greatly weakened . Without a rightful king in the Spanish throne to render the office of the Viceroy as legitimate , the right of Viceroy Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros to govern came under fire . The local elites , tired of the Spanish trade restrictions and taxes , seized the opportunity and during the May Revolution of 1810 , removed Cisneros and created the first local government , the Primera Junta . José de San Martín Following a half a decade of battles and skirmishes with provincial royalist forces within the former Vice-royalty along with military expeditions across the Andes to Chile , Peru and Bolivia led by General José de San Martín to finally end Spanish rule in America , a formal declaration was signed on July 9 , 1816 by an assembly in San Miguel de Tucumán , declaring full independence with provisions for a national constitution . The Argentine Constitution was signed in 1853 , declaring the creation of the Argentine Republic . Bolivia ( edit ) Main article : Bolivian War of Independence Following upheaval caused by the May Revolution , along with the independence movements in Chile and Venezuela , local struggle for independence kicked off with two failed revolutions that . Over sixteen years of struggle followed before the first steps towards the establishment of a republic where taken . Formally , it is considered that the fight for independence culminated in the Battle of Ayacucho , on December 9 , 1824 . Retreat of European colonialism and change of political borders in South America , 1700 -- present Chile ( edit ) Main article : Chilean War of Independence The Chilean Independence movement was led by Chilean - born criollos , who sought political and economic independence from Spain . The movement for independence was far from gaining unanimous support among Chileans , who became divided between independentists and royalists . What started as an elitist political movement against their colonial master , finally ended as a full - fledged civil war . Traditionally , the process is divided into three stages : Patria Vieja , Reconquista , and Patria Nueva . Colombia ( edit ) Main articles : Patria Boba , Spanish reconquest of New Granada , and Bolívar 's campaign to liberate New Granada Ecuador ( edit ) Main article : Ecuadorian War of Independence The first uprising against Spanish rule took place in 1809 , and criollos in Ecuador set up a junta on September 22 , 1810 to rule in the name of the Bourbon monarch ; but as elsewhere , it allowed assertion of their own power . Only in 1822 did Ecuador fully gain independence and became part of Gran Colombia , from which it withdrew in 1830 . At the Battle of Pichincha , near present - day Quito , Ecuador on May 24 , 1822 , General Antonio José de Sucre 's forces defeated a Spanish force defending Quito . The Spanish defeat guaranteed the liberation of Ecuador . Mexico ( edit ) Main article : Mexican War of Independence Independence in Mexico was a protracted struggle from 1808 until the fall of royal government in 1821 and the establishment of independent Mexico . In the Viceroyalty of New Spain , as elsewhere in Spanish America in 1808 , reacted to the unexpected French invasion of the Iberian peninsula and the ouster of the Bourbon king , replaced by Joseph Bonaparte . Local American - born Spaniards saw the opportunity to seize local control from Viceroy José de Iturrigaray , who may well have been sympathetic to creoles aspirations . Iturrigaray was ousted by pro-royalists . A few creole elites sought independence , including Juan Aldama , and Ignacio Allende , but especially secular parish priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla . Hidalgo made a proclamation in his home parish of Dolores , which was not recorded in writing at the time , but denounced bad government and gachupines ( pejorative for peninsular - born Spaniards ) , and declared independence . The unorganized hordes following Hidalgo wrought destruction on property and the lives of whites in the region of the Bajío . Hidalgo was caught , defrocked , and executed in 1811 , along with Allende . Their heads remained on display until 1821 . His former student José María Morelos continued the rebellion and was himself caught and killed in 1815 . The struggle of Mexican insurgents continued under the leadership of Vicente Guerrero and Guadalupe Victoria . From 1815 to 1820 there was a stalemate in New Spain , with royalist forces unable to defeat the insurgents and the insurgents unable to expand beyond their narrow territory in the southern region . Again , events in Spain intervened , with an uprising of military men against Ferdinand VII and the restoration of the liberal Spanish Constitution of 1812 , which mandated a constitutional monarchy and curtailed the power of the Roman Catholic Church . The monarch had repudiated the constitution once the Spanish monarchy was restored in 1814 . For conservatives in New Spain , these changed political circumstances threatened the institutions of church and state . Royal military officer Agustín de Iturbide seized the opportunity to lead , making an alliance with his former enemy Guerrero . Iturbide proclaimed the Plan de Iguala , which called for independence , equality of peninsular and American - born Spaniards , and a monarchy . He persuaded the insurgent Guerrero to form an alliance with him and creating the Army of the Three Guarantees . Crown rule in New Spain collapsed , with the incoming Viceroy Juan O'Donojú signing the Treaty of Córdoba , recognizing Mexico 's sovereignty . With no European monarch presenting himself for the crown of Mexico , Iturbide himself was proclaimed emperor Agustin I in 1822 . He was overthrown in 1823 and Mexico was established as a republic . Decades of political and economic instability ensued. :) Uruguay ( edit ) Following the events of the May Revolution , in 1811 José Gervasio Artigas , launched a successful revolt against the Spanish forces in the Provincia Oriental , now Uruguay , joining the independentist movement that was taking place in the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata at the time . In 1821 , the Provincia Oriental was invaded by Portugal , trying to annex it into Brazil under the name of Província Cisplatina . The former Vice-royalty of the Río de la Plata , The United Provinces of the River Plate , fought back Brazil in a war that lasted over 2 years , eventually turning into a stalemate . The Brazilian forces withdrew with the United Provinces keeping them at bay but failing to win any decisive victory . With neither side gained the upper hand and the economic burden of the war crippling the United Provinces economy , the Treaty of Montevideo was signed in 1828 , fostered by Britain , declaring Uruguay as an independent state . Paraguay ( edit ) Paraguay gained its independence on the night of May 14 and the morning of May 15 , 1811 , after a plan organized by various pro-independence nationalists including Fulgencio Yegros and José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia . Peru ( edit ) Main article : Peruvian War of Independence Spain initially had the support of the Lima oligarchs because of their opposition to the commercial interests of Buenos Aires and Chile . Therefore , the Viceroyalty of Peru became the last redoubt of the Spanish Monarchy in South America . Nevertheless , a Creole rebellion arose in 1812 in Huánuco and another in Cusco between 1814 and 1816 . Both were suppressed . These rebellions were supported by the armies of Buenos Aires . Peru finally succumbed after the decisive continental campaigns of José de San Martín ( 1820 -- 1823 ) and Simón Bolívar ( 1824 ) . While San Martin was in charge of the land campaign , a newly built Chilean Navy led by Lord Cochrane transported the fighting troops and launched a sea campaign against the Spanish fleet in the Pacific . San Martín , who had displaced the royalists of Chile after the Battle of Maipú , and who had disembarked in Paracas in 1820 , proclaimed the independence of Peru in Lima on July 28 , 1821 . Four years later , the Spanish Monarchy was defeated definitively at the Battle of Ayacucho . After independence , the conflicts of interests that faced different sectors of Creole Peruvian society and the particular ambitions of the caudillos , made the organization of the country excessively difficult . Only three civilians -- Manuel Pardo , Nicolás de Piérola and Francisco García Calderón -- acceded to the presidency in the first seventy - five years of Peru 's independence . The Republic of Bolivia was created from Upper Peru . In 1837 a Peru - Bolivian Confederation was also created but was dissolved two years later due to Chilean military intervention . Venezuela ( edit ) Main articles : Venezuelan War of Independence , First Republic of Venezuela , and Second Republic of Venezuela Simón Bolívar According to the American Encyclopedia of 1865 , General Francisco de Miranda , already a hero to the French , Prussians , English and Americans had garnered a series of successes against the Spanish between 1808 and 1812 . He had effectively negated their access to all the ports on the Caribbean , thus preventing them from receiving reinforcements and supplies and was essentially conducting mopping - up operations throughout the country . At that point he convinced Simon Bolivar to join the struggle and put him in charge of the fort at Puerto Cabello . This was all at once a supply and arms depot , a strategic port and the central holding facility for Spanish prisoners . Through what amounts to a gross dereliction of duty , Simon Bolivar neglected to enforce the customary security dispositions before departing to a social event . During the night there was an uprising of the Spanish prisoners and they managed to subdue the Independentist garrison and gain control of the supplies , the arms and ammunition , and the port . The Loyalist forces progressively regained control of the country and eventually Monteverde 's successes forced the newly formed congress of the republic to ask of Miranda that he sign a capitulation at La Victoria in Aragua , on July 12 , 1812 , thus ending the first phase of the revolutionary war . After the capitulation of 1812 , Simón Bolívar turned over Francisco de Miranda to the Spanish authorities , secured a safe passage for himself and his closest officers and fled to New Granada . He later returned with a new army , while the war had entered a tremendously violent phase . After much of the local aristocracy had abandoned the cause of independence , blacks and mulattoes carried on the struggle . Elites reacted with open distrust and opposition to the efforts of these common people . Bolívar 's forces invaded Venezuela from New Granada in 1813 , waging a campaign with a ferocity captured perfectly by their motto of `` war to the death '' . Bolívar 's forces defeated Domingo Monteverde 's Spanish army in a series of battles , taking Caracas on August 6 , 1813 and besieging Monteverde at Puerto Cabello in September 1813 . Battle of Carabobo With loyalists displaying the same passion and violence , the rebels achieved only short - lived victories . The army led by the loyalist José Tomás Boves demonstrated the key military role that the Llaneros came to play in the region 's struggle . Turning the tide against independence , these highly mobile , ferocious fighters made up a formidable military force that pushed Bolívar out of his home country once more . In 1814 , heavily reinforced Spanish forces in Venezuela lost a series of battles to Bolívar 's forces but then decisively defeated Bolivar at La Puerta on June 15 , took Caracas on July 16 , and again defeated his army at Aragua on August 18 , at a cost of 2,000 Spanish casualties out of 10,000 soldiers as well as most of the 3,000 in the rebel army . Bolívar and other leaders then returned to New Granada . Later that year the largest expeditionary force ever sent by Spain to America arrived under the command of Pablo Morillo . This force effectively replaced the improvised llanero units , who were disbanded by Morillo . Bolívar and other republican leaders returned to Venezuela in December 1816 , leading a largely unsuccessful insurrection against Spain from 1816 to 1818 from bases in the Llanos and Ciudad Bolívar in the Orinoco River area . In 1819 Bolívar successfully invaded New Granada , and returned to Venezuela in April 1821 , leading a large army of 7,000 . At Carabobo on June 24 , his forces decisively defeated Spanish and colonial forces , winning Venezuelan independence , although hostilities continued . The Battle of Boyacá sealed Colombia 's independence Provinces of the South American viceroyalties . Further information : Libertadores World reaction ( edit ) This section needs expansion .

( March 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) United States and Great Britain ( edit ) Great Britain and the United States were rivals for influence in the newly independent sovereign nations . As a result of the successful revolutions which established so many new independent nations , United States President James Monroe and the Secretary of State John Quincy Adams drafted the Monroe Doctrine . It stated that the United States would not tolerate any European interference in the Western Hemisphere . This measure ostensibly was taken in order to safeguard the newfound liberties of these new countries , but it was also taken as a precautionary measure against the intrusion of European states . Since the United States was a newly founded nation , it lacked the capacity to prevent other European powers from interfering , for that the United States looked for Britain 's help and support to execute the Monroe Doctrine into action . Great Britain 's trade with Latin America greatly expanded during the revolutionary period , which until then was restricted due to Spanish mercantilist trade policies . British pressure was sufficient to prevent Spain from attempting any serious reassertion of its control over its lost colonies . Later developments in Latin America ( edit ) See also : Ten Years ' War , Little War ( Cuba ) , Cuban War of Independence , History of the Dominican Republic § 1844 - 1929 , and Empire of Brazil Internal divisions also resulted in internecine wars . For example , Gran Colombia proved too fragile and the South American nation collapsed within ten years . Because many of the political strongmen of this period ( caudillos ) , who came to power were from the military , a strong authoritarian streak marked many of the new governments . There were countless revolts , coup d'états and inter-state wars , which never allowed Latin America to become united . This was exacerbated by the fact that Latin America is a land of various and very diverse cultures that do not identify with , nor have a sense of unity , with one another . The Spanish Empire in America was reduced to three Caribbean islands : Cuba and Puerto Rico . Santo Domingo was under Spanish rule for some years before definitive independence was achieved . After three independence wars in Cuba , the 1898 Spanish -- American War ended Spanish colonial rule . Brazil achieved its independence peacefully in 1822 , becoming a monarchy , the Empire of Brazil . It retained its territorial integrity following independence , as opposed to the fragmentation of Spanish America into separate republics . Brazil was an anomaly in Latin America as a large , successful and stable monarchy until 1889 , when the monarchy was overthrown following the abolition of slavery , and República Velha ( `` Old Republic '' ) was founded . Attempts at hemispheric unity ( edit ) Main article : Latin American integration The notion of closer Spanish American cooperation and unity was first put forward by the Liberator Simón Bolívar who , at the 1826 Congress of Panama , proposed the creation a league of American republics , with a common military , a mutual defense pact , and a supranational parliamentary assembly . This meeting was attended by representatives of Gran Colombia ( comprising the modern - day nations of Colombia , Ecuador , Panama , and Venezuela ) , Peru , the United Provinces of Central America ( Guatemala , El Salvador , Honduras , Nicaragua , and Costa Rica ) , and Mexico . Nevertheless , the great distances and geographical barriers , not to mention the different national and regional interests , made union impossible . Sixty - three years later the Commercial Bureau of the American Republics was established . It was renamed the International Commercial Bureau at the Second International Conference of 1901 -- 1902 . These two bodies , in existence as of 14 April 1890 , represent the point of inception of today 's Organization of American States .

what is the unique property of an arrowhead | [

For other uses , see Broadhead ( disambiguation ) . Chert arrowhead , Late Neolithic ( Rhodézien ) ( 3300 - 2400 BC ) , current France An arrowhead is a tip , usually sharpened , added to an arrow to make it more deadly or to fulfill some special purpose . The earliest arrowheads were made of stone and of organic materials ; as human civilization progressed other materials were used . Arrowheads are important archaeological artifacts ; they are a subclass of projectile points . Modern enthusiasts still `` produce over one million brand - new spear and arrow points per year '' . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Design 3 Variants 4 See also 5 References 6 External links History ( edit ) Main article : Projectile point Arrowheads made of bone and antler found in Nydam Mose ( 3rd - 5th century ) Ancient Greek bronze leaf - shaped , trefoil and triangular arrowheads . Some arrowheads made of quartz In the Stone Age , people used sharpened bone , flintknapped stones , flakes , and chips of rock as weapons and tools . Such items remained in use throughout human civilization , with new materials used as time passed . As archaeological artifacts such objects are classed as projectile points , without specifying whether they were projected by a bow or by some other means such as throwing since the specific means of projection ( the bow , the arrow shaft , the spear shaft , etc . ) is found too seldom in direct association with any given point and the word `` arrow '' would imply a certainty about these points which simply does not exist . Such artifacts can be found all over the world in various locations . Those that have survived are usually made of stone , primarily consisting of flint , obsidian or chert . In many excavations , bone , wooden , and metal arrowheads have also been found . Stone projectile points dating back 64,000 years were excavated from layers of ancient sediment in Sibudu Cave , South Africa . Examinations found traces of blood and bone residues , and glue made from a plant - based resin that was used to fasten them on to a wooden shaft . This indicated `` cognitively demanding behavior '' required to manufacture glue . These hafted points might have been launched from bows . While `` most attributes such as micro-residue distribution patterns and micro-wear will develop similarly on points used to tip spears , darts or arrows '' and `` explicit tests for distinctions between thrown spears and projected arrows have not yet been conducted '' the researchers find `` contextual support '' for the use of these points on arrows : a broad range of animals were hunted , with an emphasis on taxa that prefer closed forested niches , including fast moving , terrestrial and arboreal animals . This is an argument for the use of traps , perhaps including snares . If snares were used , the use of cords and knots which would also have been adequate for the production of bows is implied . The employment of snares also demonstrates a practical understanding of the latent energy stored in bent branches , the main principle of bow construction . Cords and knots are implied by use - wear facets on perforated shell beads around 72,000 years old from Blombos . Archeologists in Louisiana have discovered that early Native Americans used Alligator gar scales as arrow heads . `` Hunting with a bow and arrow requires intricate multi-staged planning , material collection and tool preparation and implies a range of innovative social and communication skills . '' Design ( edit ) Arrowheads are attached to arrow shafts to be shot from a bow ; similar types of projectile points may be attached to a spear and `` thrown '' by means of an Atlatl ( spear thrower ) . The arrowhead or projectile point is the primary functional part of the arrow , and plays the largest role in determining its purpose . Some arrows may simply use a sharpened tip of the solid shaft , but it is far more common for separate arrowheads to be made , usually from metal , horn , rock , or some other hard material . Arrowheads may be attached to the shaft with a cap , a socket tang , or inserted into a split in the shaft and held by a process called hafting . Points attached with caps are simply slid snugly over the end of the shaft , or may be held on with hot glue . In medieval Europe , arrowheads were often anchored with nothing but candlewax minutes before firing , if not merely saliva - this ensured that the head would remain in enemy 's body if the shaft was pulled out . Split - shaft construction involves splitting the arrow shaft lengthwise , inserting the arrowhead , and securing it using ferrule , sinew , rope , or wire . Modern arrowheads used for hunting come in a variety of classes and styles . Many traditionalist archers choose heads made of modern high carbon steel that closely resemble traditional stone heads ( see Variants ) . Other classes of broadheads referred to as `` mechanical '' and `` hybrid '' are gaining popularity . Often , these heads rely on force created by passing through an animal to expand or open . Variants ( edit ) Japanese arrowheads of several shapes and functions Modern replicas of various medieval European arrowheads A mechanical broadhead deploys its blades in - flight to increase lethality in hunting game . A modern broadhead tip Arrowheads are usually separated by function : Bodkin points are short , rigid points with a small cross-section . They were made of unhardened iron and may have been used for better or longer flight , or for cheaper production . It has been suggested that the bodkin came into its own as a means of penetrating armour , however limited research has so far found no hardened bodkin points , so it appears likely that it was first designed either to extend range or as a cheaper and simpler alternative to the broadhead . In a modern test , a direct hit from a hard steel bodkin point penetrated a set of fifteenth - century chain armour made in Damascus . However , archery was minimally effective against plate armour , which became available to knights of fairly modest means by the late 14th century . Blunts are unsharpened arrowheads occasionally used for types of target shooting , for shooting at stumps or other targets of opportunity , or hunting small game when the goal is to stun the target without penetration . Blunts are commonly made of metal or hard rubber . They may stun , and occasionally , the arrow shaft may penetrate the head and the target ; safety is still important with blunt arrows . Judo points have spring wires extending sideways from the tip . These catch on grass and debris to prevent the arrow from being lost in the vegetation . Used for practice and for small game . Broadheads were used for war and are still used for hunting . Information on regional Arabic arrowheads found from the period 100 BC -- 150 AD in the United Arab Emirates show the use of three - bladed broadheads , or trilobate arrowhead . `` A trilobate arrowhead can be defined as an arrowhead that has three wings or blades that are usually placed at equal angles ( i.e.c. 120 ° ) around the imaginary longitudinal axis extending from the centre of the socket or tang . Since this type of arrowhead is rare in southeastern Arabia , we must investigate its origin and the reasons behind its presence at ed - Dur . '' Medieval broadheads could be made from steel , sometimes with hardened edges . They usually have two to four sharp blades that cause massive bleeding in the victim . Their function is to deliver a wide cutting edge so as to kill as quickly as possible . They are expensive , damage most targets , and are usually not used for practice . There are two main types of broadheads used by hunters : The fixed - blade broadhead and the mechanical broadhead types . While the fixed - blade broadhead keeps its blades rigid and unmovable on the broadhead at all times , the mechanical broadhead deploys its blades upon contact with the target , its blades swinging out to wound the target . The mechanical head flies better because it is more streamlined , but has less penetration as it uses some of the kinetic energy in the arrow to deploy its blades . Target points are bullet - shaped with a sharp point , designed to penetrate target butts easily without causing excessive damage to them . Field points are similar to target points and have a distinct shoulder , so that missed outdoor shots do not become as stuck in obstacles such as tree stumps . They are also used for shooting practice by hunters , by offering similar flight characteristics and weights as broadheads , without getting lodged in target materials and causing excessive damage upon removal . Safety arrows are designed to be used in various forms of reenactment combat , to reduce the risk when shot at people . These arrows may have heads that are very wide or padded . In combination with bows of restricted draw weight and draw length , these heads may reduce to acceptable levels the risks of shooting arrows at suitably armoured people . The parameters will vary depending on the specific rules being used and on the levels of risk felt acceptable to the participants . For instance , SCA combat rules require a padded head at least 1 ⁄ '' in diameter , with bows not exceeding 28 inches ( 710 mm ) and 50 lb ( 23 kg ) of draw for use against well - armoured individuals .

Jump up ^ Pope , Saxton . Hunting with the Bow and Arrow . To test a steel bodkin pointed arrow such as was used at the battle of Cressy , I borrowed a shirt of chain armor from the Museum , a beautiful specimen made in Damascus in the 15th Century . It weighed twenty - five pounds and was in perfect condition . One of the attendants in the Museum offered to put it on and allow me to shoot at him . Fortunately , I declined his proffered services and put it on a wooden box , padded with burlap to represent clothing . Indoors at a distance of seven yards ( 6 m ) , I discharged an arrow at it with such force that sparks flew from the links of steel as from a forge . The bodkin point and shaft went through the thickest portion of the back , penetrated an inch of wood and bulged out the opposite side of the armor shirt . The attendant turned a pale green . An arrow of this type can be shot about two hundred yards , and would be deadly up to the full limit of its flight . Jump up ^ Strickland M , Hardy R . The Great Warbow . Sutton Publishing 2005 .

Answers is a community - driven question - and - answer ( Q&A ) website or a knowledge market from Yahoo ! , that allows users to both submit questions to be answered and answer questions asked by other users .

The website began as a search directory for various websites , and soon grew into an established Internet resource that features the `` Yahoo ! Answers '' platform . Yahoo ! Answers was launched on June 28 , 2005 , while in internal alpha testing by Director of Engineering , Ofer Shaked . Yahoo ! Answers was launched to the general public while in beta testing on December 8 , 2005 , which lasted until May 14 , 2006 . Yahoo ! Answers was finally incorporated for general availability on May 15 , 2006 . Yahoo ! Answers was created to replace Ask Yahoo ! , Yahoo ! 's former Q&A platform which was discontinued in March 2006 . The site gives members the chance to earn points as a way to encourage participation and is based on Naver 's Knowledge iN . Yahoo ! Answers is available in 12 languages , but several Asian sites operate a different platform which allows for non-Latin characters . The platform is known as Yahoo ! Chiebukuro ( Yahoo ! 知恵袋 ) in Japan and as Yahoo ! Knowledge in Korea , Taiwan , China , and Hong Kong . An Arabic language Q&A platform called Seen Jeem is available through the Yahoo ! subsidiary Maktoob . On December 8 , 2016 , Yahoo ! released an app for the platform called Yahoo ! Answers Now ( formally known as Yahoo ! Hive ) for iOS and Android . The number of poorly formed questions and inaccurate answers has made the site a target of ridicule . Site operation ( edit ) Yahoo ! Answers allows any questions that do not violate Yahoo ! Answers community guidelines . To encourage good answers , helpful participants are occasionally featured on the Yahoo ! Answers Blog . Though the service itself is free , the contents of the answers are owned by the respective users -- while Yahoo ! maintains a non-exclusive royalty - free worldwide right to publish the information . Chat is explicitly forbidden in the Community Guidelines , although categories like Politics and Religion & Spirituality are mostly opinion . Users may also choose to reveal their Yahoo ! Messenger ID on their Answers profile page . Misuse of Yahoo ! Answers is handled by a user moderation system , where users report posts that are in breach of guidelines or the Terms of Service . Posts are removed if they receive sufficient weight of trusted reports ( reports from users with a reliable reporting history ) . Deletion may be appealed : an unsuccessful appeal receives a 10 - point penalty ; a successful one reinstates the post and reduces the ' trust rating ' ( reporting power ) of the reporter . If a user receives a large number of violations in a relatively short amount of time or a very serious violation , it can cause the abuser 's account to be suspended . In extreme , but rare cases ( for a Terms of Service violation ) , the abuser 's entire Yahoo ! ID will be suddenly deactivated without warning . To open an account , a user needs a Yahoo ! ID but can use any name as identification on Yahoo ! Answers . A user can be represented by a picture from various internet avatar sites or a user - made graphic uploaded to replace their default Yahoo graphic . Yahoo ! Avatars was discontinued in 2012 . When answering a question , a user can search Yahoo ! or Wikipedia , or any source of information that the user wishes , as long as they mention their source . Questions are initially open to answers for four days . However , the asker can choose to pick a best answer for the question after a minimum of one hour . However , comments and answers can still be posted after this time . To ask a question , one has to have a Yahoo ! account with a positive score balance of five points or more . The points system is weighted to encourage users to answer questions and to limit spam questions . There are also levels ( with point thresholds ) , which give more site access . Points and levels have no real world value , can not be traded , and serve only to indicate how active a user has been on the site . A notable downside to the points / level system is that it encourages people to answer questions even when they do not have a suitable answer to give to gain points . Users also receive ten points for contributing the `` Best Answer '' which is selected by the question 's asker . The voting function , which allowed users to vote for the answer they considered best , was discontinued in April 2014 . In addition to points awarded for activity , Yahoo ! Answers staff may also award extra points if they are impressed with a user 's contributions . The Yahoo ! Answers community manager has stated that `` power users '' who defend the company should be thanked and rewarded . Level table ( edit ) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Level 6 Level 7 Points 1 -- 249 250 -- 999 1,000 -- 2,499 2,500 -- 4,999 5,000 -- 9,999 10,000 -- 24,999 25,000 + Questions 5 10 15 20 20 20 20 Answers 20 80 120 160 160 160 160 Commentaries 10 20 30 40 40 40 40 Stars 10 100 100 100 100 100 100 Evaluation permission No Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Note : All limitations are per day . Users begin on level 1 and receive 100 free points . Prior to this , they began on level 0 , could only answer one question , and then were promoted to level 1 . Before April 20 , 2012 , users levels 5 and above could give an unlimited amount of questions , answers , and comments . Yahoo ! Answers established an upper limit to curb spam and unproductive answers . Before April 2014 users were also able to vote for a best answer if the asker did not choose one , but this was discontinued . Badges ( edit ) Top Contributor ( edit ) The point system ostensibly encourages users to answer as many questions as they possibly can , up to their daily limit . Once a user achieves and maintains a certain minimum number of such contributions ( See Note * , further ... ) , they may receive an orange `` badge '' under the name of their avatar , naming the user a Top Contributor ( TC ) . Users can lose this badge if they do not maintain their level of participation . Once a user becomes a `` Top Contributor '' in any category , the badge appears in all answers , questions , and comments by the user , regardless of category . A user can be a Top Contributor in a maximum of 3 categories . The list of Top contributors is updated every Monday . Although Yahoo ! Answers staff has kept secret the conditions of becoming a TC , many theories exist among users , for example : Maintaining a weekly ( mystery ) `` quota '' of answers in the category . User wanting to become a TC must have more than or equal to 12 % Best answers . User should be at least on level 2 , although there have been claims that first - level users with TC Badge have been seen . User should concentrate only on one particular category to become a Top Contributor for that category . Out of these , none have an official status . This feature began March 8 , 2007 . Staff ( edit ) Badge is seen under the name staff members of Yahoo ! Answers . Official ( edit ) This type of badge is found on the name of celebrities ( like mentioned above ) and government departments like the health department . Knowledge partners ( edit ) These badges are found under the name of the companies or organizations who share their personal knowledge and experience with the members of Yahoo ! Answers . Academic studies ( edit ) A number of studies have looked at the structure of the community and the interaction between askers and responders . Studies of user typology on the site have revealed that some users answer from personal knowledge -- `` specialists '' -- while others use external sources to construct answers -- `` synthesists '' , with synthesists tending to accumulate more reward points . Adamic et al. looked at the ego networks of users and showed that it is possible to distinguish `` answer people '' from `` discussion people '' with the former found in specialist categories for factual information , such as mathematics and the latter more common in general interest categories , such as marriage and wrestling . They also show that answer length is a good predictor of `` best answer '' choice . Kim and Oh looked at the comments given by users on choosing best answers and showed that content completeness , solution feasibility and personal agreement / confirmation were the most significant criteria . Quality of Answers ( edit ) Researchers found that questions seeking factual information received few answers and that the knowledge on Yahoo ! Answers is not very deep . Despite the presence of experts , academics and other researchers , Yahoo ! Answers ' base consists of a much more general group ; hence , it has been criticized for the large number of dubious questions , such as `` how is babby formed how girl get pragnent '' ( sic ) , which sparked an Internet meme . This `` Internet language '' of incorrect spelling and improper grammar also contributes to Yahoo ! Answers ' reputation of being a source of entertainment rather than a fact based question and answer platform , and for the reliability , validity , and relevance of its answers . A 2008 study found that Yahoo ! Answers is suboptimal for questions requiring factual answers and that the quality decreases as the number of users increases . One journalist observed that the structure Yahoo ! Answers provides , particularly the persistence of inaccuracies , the inability to correct them , and a point structure that rewards participation more readily than accuracy , all indicate that the site is oriented towards encouraging use of the site , not offering accurate answers to questions . The number of poorly formed questions and inaccurate answers has made the site a target of ridicule . Likewise , posts on many Internet forums and Yahoo ! Answers itself indicate that Yahoo ! Answers attracts a large number of trolls . The site does not have a system that filters the correct answers from the incorrect answers . At one time , the community could vote for the best answer among the posted answers ; but that option was disabled in March 2014 . For most of the life of Yahoo ! Answers , once the `` best answer '' was chosen , there was no way to add more answers nor to improve or challenge the best answer chosen by the question asker ; there is a display of thumbs down or thumbs up for each answer , but viewers can not vote . In April 2014 , this was changed to allow for additional answers after a best answer is chosen , but the best answer can never be changed . Also , while `` best answers '' can be briefly commented upon , the comment is not visible by default and is hence hardly read . ( Even the user who posts the question is n't notified , before or after the best answer is picked , about a comment on the question or on the best answer . ) If the best answer chosen is wrong or contains problematic information , the only chance to give a better ( or correct ) answer will be the next time the same question is asked . The older answer will likely get higher priority in search engines . Any new answer will most probably not be seen by any original questioner . Promotions and events ( edit ) Yamster ( edit ) The Yahoo ! Answers green smiley . The official Yahoo ! Answers mascot is a cartoon hamster called Yamster . Yamster is a combination , or portmanteau , of the words `` Yahoo '' and `` hamster '' . The mascot is also used as an avatar for Yahoo ! Answers staff . During beta testing of Yahoo ! Answers in 2005 , the Director of Product Management would use a Gemmy Kung Fu Hamster to summon employees to meetings . The toy was a battery - operated , dancing , musical plush hamster clothed in a karate uniform . A Yahoo ! Answers employee selected a photo of the toy as the staff avatar . A user then questioned the potential trademark / copyright infringement of using such an avatar . At that time , the photo was replaced with the Yahoo ! Answers green smiley face . At the beginning of 2006 , the green smiley face was replaced by the cartoon Yamster clad in a karate uniform . As of November 2009 , the history of Yamster , complete with photos of the toy , was available on the Yahoo ! Answers Team Vietnam blog . Special guests ( edit ) Several celebrities and notables have appeared on Yahoo ! Answers to ask questions . These users have an `` official '' badge below their avatar and on their profile page . During the 2008 U.S. Presidential campaign , Hillary Clinton , John McCain , Barack Obama , and Mitt Romney posted questions on Yahoo ! Answers , in addition to YouTube . In an awareness campaign , `` UNICEF Up Close 2007 '' , nine UNICEF ambassadors asked questions . The launch of Answers on Yahoo ! India included a question from A.P.J. Abdul Kalam , the President of India at that time . Other guests have included international leaders ( Queen Rania of Jordan , candidate for United Nations Secretary - General Shashi Tharoor ) , Nobel Peace Prize laureates ( Al Gore , Muhammad Yunus ) and other international activists ( Bono , Jean - Michel Cousteau ) , intellectuals ( Stephen Hawking , Marilyn vos Savant ) , and numerous other celebrities . Site statistics ( edit ) Yahoo ! used comScore statistics in December 2006 to proclaim Yahoo ! Answers `` the leading Q&A site on the web '' . Currently Yahoo ! Answers is ranked as the second most popular Q&A site on the web by comScore . The slogan `` The world 's leading Q&A site '' has since been adopted by Answers.com . In 2009 , Yahoo ! Answers staff claimed 200 million users worldwide and 15 million users visiting daily . Google Trends has reported around 4 million unique visitors ( Global ) daily . In January 2010 , the web analytics website Quantcast reported 24 million active users ( US ) per month ; in November 2015 , that had fallen by 77 % to 5.6 million . Quantcast traffic statistics for Yahoo !

In popular media ( edit ) The comedy / advice podcast My Brother , My Brother and Me features a reoccurring segment in which co-host Griffin McElroy selects and reads a particularly humorous or outrageous question from Yahoo ! Answers . The hosts then discuss and attempt to answer the question , to comedic effect . The Internet troll Ken M is a regular user on Yahoo ! Answers , posting comments that confound and annoy other users . There are several communities on social media sites such as Reddit and Facebook dedicated to observing his antics , especially on Yahoo ! Answers . Ken was named as one of Time 's most influential people online in 2016 .

Season 3 While the third season of Stranger Things has been greenlit , no official release date has been given , though it is expected in either late 2018 or early 2019 . Levy said that they are looking at a shorter season of eight or nine episodes , depending on how they develop the story and are not bound by a specific number . They expect the third season to be less about Will ; Levy said , `` We 're not going to put Will through hell for a third season in a row . He 'll be dealing with stuff , but he wo n't be at rock bottom ... We 're ( going to be ) dealing with forces of evil that are new . '' Production Development Ross ( left ) and Matt Duffer , the creators of the series Stranger Things was created by Matt and Ross Duffer , known professionally as The Duffer Brothers . The two had completed writing and producing their 2015 film Hidden , which they had tried to emulate the style of M. Night Shyamalan , however , due to changes at Warner Bros. , its distributor , the film did not see a wide release and the Duffers were unsure of their future . To their surprise , television producer Donald De Line approached them , impressed with Hidden 's script , and offered them the opportunity to work on episodes of Wayward Pines alongside Shyamalan . The brothers were mentored by Shyamalan during the episode 's production , so that when they finished , they felt they were ready to produce their own television series . The Duffer Brothers prepared a script that would essentially be similar to the series ' actual pilot episode , along with a 20 - page pitch book to help shop the series around for a network . They pitched the story to a number of cable networks , all of which rejected the script on the basis that they felt a plot centered around children as leading characters would not work , asking them to make it a children 's show or to drop the children and focus on Hopper 's investigation in the paranormal . In early 2015 , Dan Cohen , the VP of 21 Laps Entertainment , brought the script to his colleague Shawn Levy . They subsequently invited The Duffer Brothers to their office and purchased the rights for the series , giving full authorship of it to the brothers . After reading the pilot , the streaming service Netflix purchased the whole season for an undisclosed amount ; the show was subsequently announced for a planned 2016 release by Netflix in early April 2015 . The Duffer Brothers stated that at the time they had pitched to Netflix , the service had already gotten recognized for its original programming , such as House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black , with well - recognized producers behind them , and were ready to start giving upcoming producers like them a chance . The brothers started to write out the series and brought Levy and Cohen in as executive producers to start casting and filming . The series was originally known as Montauk , as the setting of the script was in Montauk , New York and nearby Long Island locations . The brothers had chosen Montauk as it had further Spielberg ties with the film Jaws , where Montauk was used for the fictional setting of Amity Island . After deciding to change the narrative of the series to take place in the fictional town of Hawkins instead , the brothers felt they could now do things to the town , such as placing it under quarantine , that they really could not envision with a real location . With the change in location , they had to come up with a new title for the series under direction from Netflix 's Ted Sarandos so that they could start marketing it to the public . The brothers started by using a copy of Stephen King 's Firestarter novel to consider the title 's font and appearance , and came up with a long list of potential alternatives . Stranger Things came about as it sounded similar to another King novel , Needful Things , though Matt noted they still had a `` lot of heated arguments '' over this final title . With the critical success of the first season after its release in July 2016 , speculation on a possible second season was raised . By the end of July , The Duffer Brothers had outlined a plan for such a season if it was green - lit , and Netflix 's CEO Reed Hastings said in early August that the company `` would be dumb not to '' renew Stranger Things for a second season . On August 31 , 2016 , Netflix announced it had renewed Stranger Things for a second season of nine episodes , to be released in 2017 . The Duffer Brothers revealed that the series had been renewed for a second season before the first premiered . Regarding the decision to wait more than a month after the first season premiered to announce the renewal , Matt Duffer said , `` it actually ended up working because it had built up to this fever pitch . I guess that 's what ( Netflix ) were intending to do all the time . '' The Duffers wrote the second season to make the combined first and second season feel like a complete work , but setting elements in place to go forward with additional seasons if they are green - lit . While most of the story for the second season had been decided before the first season aired , the Duffers took in the audience reactions from the first season to adjust some of the details within the second season . They knew they would not have the same element of audience surprise as when the show aired anew , and were aware fans wanted to see certain elements , but Ross said `` ... the point is not to give everyone what they think they want . Because I do n't think they really know what they want . '' The Duffers felt that the second season should be treated more as a sequel rather than a continuation , and thus have opted to call the second Stranger Things 2 . This approach had some trepidation from Netflix , since the company felt movie sequels typically have a bad reputation , but the Duffers pointed out that there had been many successful sequels that surpassed the original film , and felt confident with this name . Despite revealing episode titles for the season in the announcement teaser in order `` to provide some hint of where we were going in season two without giving anything away , '' Matt Duffer stated that some of the titles would change , since there were some things `` we did n't want to put on there because we felt like it would give too much away , '' and because `` people are smart on the fucking internet '' with fan - created `` videos analyzing the chapter titles ... right on a lot '' of how the titles related to the plot of the season . In early October 2017 , the Duffers revealed the final titles for the first six episodes of the season . Levy noted in November 2016 that he and The Duffer Brothers had already begun planning a potential third season , saying , `` We are not gon na be caught off guard and we do n't wan na be making stuff up like the day before we have to write it and make it , so we are definitely optimistic and we have started thinking ahead . '' The Duffers anticipate having about four to five seasons to work with , but do want to `` have a really finite ending '' while the show is still at a height of success , according to Matt , rather than letting it draw out indefinitely . In August 2017 , the Duffers confirmed there would be a third season , with the likelihood of one more season following that , with Ross saying , `` We 're thinking it will be a four - season thing and then out '' . However , executive producer Shawn Levy later suggested that either four or five total seasons were possibilities , claiming that `` the truth is we 're definitely going four seasons and there 's very much the possibility of a fifth . Beyond that , it becomes I think very unlikely . '' Matt Duffer later commented that no official decision has been made , claiming that `` It 's hard , like four seems short , five seems long . So I do n't know what to do . '' In December 2017 , Netflix officially confirmed that they have greenlit the third season . Later that month , David Harbour said that the Duffers were still writing episodes for the season , and did not expect the season would release until 2019 . Writing The idea of Stranger Things started with how the brothers felt they could take the concept of the 2013 film Prisoners , detailing the moral struggles a father goes through when his daughter is kidnapped , and expand it out over eight or so hours in a serialized television approach . As they focused on the missing child aspect of the story , they wanted to introduce the idea of `` childlike sensibilities '' they could offer , and toyed around with the idea of a monster that could consume humans . The brothers thought the combination of these things `` was the best thing ever '' . To introduce this monster into the narrative , they considered `` bizarre experiments we had read about taking place in the Cold War '' such as Project MKUltra , which gave a way to ground the monster 's existence in science rather than something spiritual . This also helped them to decide on using 1983 as the time period , as it was a year before the film Red Dawn came out , which focused on Cold War paranoia . Subsequently , they were able to use all their own personal inspirations from the 1980s , the decade they were born , as elements of the series , crafting it in the realm of science fiction and horror . The Duffer Brothers have cited as influence for the show ( among others ) : Stephen King novels ; films produced by Steven Spielberg , John Carpenter , Wes Craven , Robert Zemeckis , George Lucas and Guillermo del Toro ; films such as Alien and Stand by Me ; Japanese anime such as Akira and Elfen Lied ; and video games such as Silent Hill , The Last of Us , and Dark Souls . The Duffers also believe that they may have brought influences from other works unintentionally , including Beyond the Black Rainbow and D.A.R.Y.L. , discovered by reviewing fan feedback on the show . With Netflix as the platform , The Duffer Brothers were not limited to a typical 22 - episode format , opting for the eight - episode approach . They had been concerned that a 22 - episode season on broadcast television would be difficult to `` tell a cinematic story '' with that many episodes . Eight episodes allowed them to give time to characterization in addition to narrative development ; if they had less time available , they would have had to remain committed to telling a horror film as soon as the monster was introduced and abandon the characterization . Within the eight episodes , the brothers aimed to make the first season `` feel like a big movie '' with all the major plot lines completed so that `` the audience feels satisfied '' , but left enough unresolved to indicate `` there 's a bigger mythology , and there 's a lot of dangling threads at the end '' , something that could be explored in further seasons if Netflix opted to create more . Regarding writing for the children characters of the series , The Duffer Brothers considered themselves as outcasts from other students while in high school and thus found it easy to write for Mike and his friends , and particularly for Barb . Joyce was fashioned after Richard Dreyfuss ' character Roy Neary in Close Encounters of the Third Kind , as she appears `` absolutely bonkers '' to everyone else as she tries to find Will . Other characters , such as Billy in the second season , have more villainous attributes that are not necessarily obvious from the onset ; Matt explained that they took further inspiration from Stephen King for these characters , as King `` always has really great human villains '' that may be more malicious than the supernatural evil . Casting The Duffers cast David Harbour as Chief Hopper believing this was his opportunity to have a lead character in a work . In June 2015 , it was announced that Winona Ryder and David Harbour had joined the series as Joyce and as the unnamed chief of police , respectively . The brothers ' casting director Carmen Cuba had suggested Ryder for the role of Joyce , which the two were immediately drawn to because of her predominance in the films of the 1980s . Levy believed Ryder could `` wretch up the emotional urgency and yet find layers and nuance and different sides of ( Joyce ) '' . Ryder praised that the show 's multiple storylines required her to act for Joyce as `` she 's out of her mind , but she 's actually kind of onto something '' , and that the producers had faith she could pull off the difficult role . The Duffer Brothers had been interested in Harbour before , who until Stranger Things primarily had smaller roles as villainous characters , and they felt that he had been `` waiting too long for this opportunity '' to play a lead , while Harbour himself was thrilled by the script and the chance to play `` a broken , flawed , anti-hero character '' . Additional casting followed two months later with Finn Wolfhard as Mike , Millie Bobby Brown in an undisclosed role , Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin , Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas , Natalia Dyer as Nancy , and Charlie Heaton as Jonathan . In September 2015 , Cara Buono joined the cast as Karen , followed by Matthew Modine as Martin Brenner a month later . Additional cast who recur for the first season include Noah Schnapp as Will , Shannon Purser as Barbara `` Barb '' Holland , Joe Keery as Steve Harrington , and Ross Partridge as Lonnie , among others . Actors auditioning for the children roles read lines from Stand By Me . The Duffer Brothers estimated they went through about a thousand different child actors for the roles . They noted that Wolfhard was already `` a movie buff '' of the films from the 1980s period and easily filled the role , while they found Matarazzo 's audition to be much more authentic than most of the other audition tapes , and selected him after a single viewing of his audition tape . As casting was started immediately after Netflix greenlit the show , and prior to the scripts being fully completed , this allowed some of the actor 's takes on the roles to reflect into the script . The casting of the young actors for Will and his friends had been done just after the first script was completed , and subsequent scripts incorporated aspects from these actors . The brothers said Modine provided significant input on the character of Dr. Brenner , whom they had not really fleshed out before as they considered him the hardest character to write for given his limited appearances within the narrative . In October 2016 , it was announced that Schnapp and Keery had been promoted to the main cast for the second season , after each recurring in the first season , and that Sadie Sink and Dacre Montgomery would join the main cast as Max and Billy , respectively . Ryder , Harbour , Wolfhard , Brown , Matarazzo , McLaughlin , Dyer and Heaton also return for the season . Sean Astin as Bob Newby and Paul Reiser as Sam Owens are also part of the main cast in the season . For Owens , The Duffer Brothers had referred to the character in their pitch to Netflix for the season as `` Paul Reiser '' , and specifically alluded to Reiser 's character Burke in Aliens , with Ross referencing James Cameron 's casting choice for that film , saying , `` ( Cameron ) thought people would inherently trust ( Reiser ) and it would be a twist '' . Reiser 's son was a fan of Stranger Things , and gave his father an early appreciation of the series , so that by when the production called his agent about the role , Reiser was excited for the part . Joining them in recurring roles are Linnea Berthelsen as Kali / Eight and Brett Gelman as Murray Bauman . Filming The brothers had desired to film the series around the Long Island area to match the initial Montauk concept . However , with filming scheduled to take place in November 2015 , it was difficult to shoot in Long Island in the cold weather , and the production started scouting locations in and around the Atlanta , Georgia area . The brothers , who grew up in North Carolina , found many places that reminded them of their own childhoods in that area , and felt the area would work well with the narrative shift to the fictional town of Hawkins , Indiana . The filming of the first season began in November 2015 and was extensively done in Atlanta , Georgia , with The Duffer Brothers and Levy handling the direction of individual episodes . Jackson served as the basis of the fictional town of Hawkins , Indiana . Other shooting locations included the Georgia Mental Health Institute as the Hawkins National Laboratory site , Bellwood Quarry , Patrick Henry High School in Stockbridge , Georgia , for the middle and high school scenes , Emory University 's Continuing Education Department , the former city hall in Douglasville , Georgia , Georgia International Horse Park , the probate court in Butts County , Georgia , Old East Point Library and East Point First Baptist Church in East Point , Georgia , Fayetteville , Georgia , Stone Mountain Park , Palmetto , Georgia , and Winston , Georgia . Set work was done at Screen Gem Studios in Atlanta . The series was filmed with a Red Dragon digital camera . Filming for the first season concluded in early 2016 . While filming , the brothers tried to capture shots that could be seen as homages to many of the 1980s references they recalled . Their goal was not necessarily to fill the work with these references , but instead make the series seem to the viewer as a 1980s film . They spent little time reviewing those works and instead went by memory . Matt further recognized that some of their filming homages were not purposely done but were found to be very comparable , as highlighted by a fan - made video comparing the show to several 1980s works side - by - side . Matt commented on the video that `` Some were deliberate and some were subconscious . '' The brothers recognized that many of the iconic scenes from these 1980s films , such as with Poltergeist , was about `` taking a very ordinary object that people deal with every day , their television set , and imbuing it with something otherworldly '' , leading to the idea of using the Christmas light strings for Will to communicate with Joyce . The brothers attributed much of the 1980s feel to set and costume designers and the soundtrack composers that helped to recreate the era for them . Lynda Reiss , the head of props , had about a $220,000 budget , similar to most films , to acquire artifacts of the 1980s , using eBay and searching through flea markets and estate sales around the Atlanta area . The bulk of the props were original items from the 1980s with only a few pieces , such as the Dungeons & Dragons books made as replicas . Costume designer Kimberly Adams - Galligan for the first season aimed for capturing authenticity of the clothes choices by the characters , such as reflecting that the Byers would likely use hand - me - down clothes compared to the other families ; in this case , while the costume department did distress the outfits for all the characters , they spent more time for Will 's clothes compared to Mike 's . Frequently , they needed to create outfits for the kids themselves since many were still growing during the time of filming , and could not readily acquire period fashion across a range of sizes . Director of photography Tim Ives shot the first season with Leica lens and the 6K Red Scarlet Dragon to `` make sure that our images had the soft and round tones that are in ' 80s films '' ; this is achieved through digital image processing . Ives said that these cameras allow them to create an adaptable quality to the recorded film that is adaptable to a wide range of viewing experiences , including support for newer and future television technologies such as high dynamic range video that was just becoming adopted at the time of filming . Filming for the second season began on November 7 , 2016 , once again in and around the Atlanta Metro area . While parts of Season 2 were set in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania , these were actually filmed in downtown Atlanta , with skylines of Pittsburgh added in post-production . Andrew Stanton , director of Pixar 's Finding Nemo and WALL - E , directed the fifth and sixth episodes of the second season . Levy stated that Stanton was a big fan of the show and called up Levy , offering his directorial abilities for the show . Rebecca Thomas directed the seventh episode of the season . Unlike the first season , which they were able to film without any real security issues , the heightened awareness of the show required the producers to take significant steps to keep the show 's production in secret while filming the second season . They spoke to the production team of HBO 's Game of Thrones for tips and advice for securing filming sites , and have adopted code names for the series and various parts to allow the actors to speak to others without revealing details of the show 's plot . Kim Wilcox took over for costumes in the second season , finding many of the same problems with designing for the child actors that were aging . Furthermore , she wanted to create the 80 's aestetic but as reflected in a small rural town , with the trends of period slowly filtering into it rather that immediately jump on elements like neon colors . The second season concluded filming on June 2 , 2017 . Ives once again used Leica lens to film the season , while upgrading to the Red Weapon 8K S35 camera . Visual effects To create the aged effect for the series , a film grain was added over the footage , which was captured by scanning in film stock from the 1980s . The Duffers wanted to scare the audience , but not to necessarily make the show violent or gory , following in line with how the 1980s Amblin Entertainment films drove the creation of the PG - 13 movie rating . It was `` much more about mood and atmosphere and suspense and dread than they are about gore '' , though they were not afraid to push into more scary elements , particularly towards the end of the first season . The brothers had wanted to avoid any computer - generated effects for the monster and other parts of the series and stay with practical effects . However , the six - month filming time left them little time to plan out and test practical effects rigs for some of the shots . They went with a middle ground of using constructed props including one for the monster whenever they could , but for other shots , such as when the monster bursts through a wall , they opted to use digital effects . Post-production on the first season was completed the week before it was released to Netflix . The title sequence uses closeups of the letters in the Stranger Things title with a red tint against a black background as they slide into place within the title . The sequence was created by the studio Imaginary Forces , formerly part of R / GA , led by creative director Michelle Doughtey . Levy introduced the studio to The Duffer Brothers , who explained their vision of the 1980s - inspired show , which helped the studio to fix the concept the producers wanted . Later , but prior to filming , the producers sent Imaginary Forces the pilot script , the synth - heavy background music for the titles , as well as the various book covers from King and other authors that they had used to establish the title and imagery , and were looking for a similar approach for the show 's titles , primarily using a typographical sequence . They took inspiration from several title sequences of works from the 1980s that were previously designed by Richard Greenberg under R / GA , such as Altered States and The Dead Zone . They also got input from Dan Perri , who worked on the title credits of several 1980s films . Various iterations included having letters vanish , to reflect the `` missing '' theme of the show , and having letters cast shadows on others , alluding to the mysteries , before settling into the sliding letters . The studio began working on the title sequence before filming , and took about a month off during the filming process to let the producers get immersed in the show and come back with more input . Initially they had been working with various fonts for the title and used close - ups of the best features of these fonts , but near the end the producers wanted to work with ITC Benguiat , requiring them to rework those shots . The final sequence is fully computer generated , but they took inspiration from testing some practical effects , such as using Kodalith masks as would have been done in the 1980s , to develop the appropriate filters for the rendering software . The individual episode title cards used a `` fly through '' approach , similar to the film Bullitt , which the producers had suggested to the studio . Music Main article : Music of Stranger Things The Stranger Things original soundtrack was composed by Michael Stein and Kyle Dixon of the electronic band Survive . It makes extensive use of synthesizers in homage to 1980s artists and film composers including Jean - Michel Jarre , Tangerine Dream , Vangelis , Goblin , John Carpenter , Giorgio Moroder , and Fabio Frizzi . According to Stein and Dixon , The Duffer Brothers had been fans of Survive 's music , and used their song `` Dirge '' for the mock trailer that was used to sell the show to Netflix . Once the show was green - lit , the Duffers contacted Survive around July 2015 to ask if they were still doing music ; the two provided the production team with dozens of songs from their band 's past to gain their interest , helping to land them the role . Once aboard , the two worked with producers to select some of their older music to rework for the show , while developing new music , principally with character motifs . The two had been hired before the casting process , so their motif demos were used and played over the actors ' audition tapes , aiding in the casting selection . The show 's theme is based on an unused work Stein composed much earlier that ended up in the library of work they shared with the production staff , who thought that with some reworking would be good for the opening credits . In addition to original music , Stranger Things features period music from artists including The Clash , Joy Division , Toto , New Order , The Bangles , Foreigner , Echo and the Bunnymen , Peter Gabriel , and Corey Hart , as well as excerpts from Tangerine Dream , John Carpenter , and Vangelis . In particular , The Clash 's `` Should I Stay or Should I Go '' was specifically picked to play at pivotal moments of the story , such as when Will is trying to communicate with Joyce from the Upside Down . Soundtracks Stranger Things ' original soundtrack , consisting of 75 songs from Stein and Dixon split across two volumes , was released by Lakeshore Records . Digital release and streaming options were released on August 10 and 19 , 2016 for the two volumes , respectively , while retail versions were available on September 16 and 23 , 2016 . Limited editions of the soundtrack on vinyl , in both individual and a boxed set , are set for release in July 2017 . A cassette version of the soundtrack , sold exclusively by Urban Outfitters , was released on July 14 , 2017 . The cassette packaging features a cardboard cover that emulates an old VHS sleeves , while the cassette case is made to look like a VHS tape . Both volumes were nominated individually for the Best Score Soundtrack Category for the 2017 Grammy Awards , though neither won . The soundtrack for the second season of Stranger Things was released digitally on October 20 , 2017 . The soundtrack , once again composed by Stein and Dixon , consists of 34 songs and was released by Lakeshore Records in the United States and Invada Records internationally . The soundtrack is intended to be released on physical formats , such as compact disc , vinyl , and cassette as well . On the soundtrack 's composition , Stein and Dixon together said that the score for the season introduces `` new styles of composition , while still revisiting old themes when appropriate ... We 've created new elements that are necessary to support the story , but still want to remain true to the sound of Season 1 . '' The first track from the soundtrack , `` Walkin ' in Hawkins '' , was released on October 12 . Release The first season consisted of eight one - hour - long episodes which were released worldwide on Netflix on July 15 , 2016 , in Ultra HD 4K . The second season , consisting of nine episodes , was released on October 27 , 2017 in HDR . A teaser for the second season , which also announced the release date , aired during Super Bowl LI . Home Media The first season of Stranger Things was released on a Blu - ray / DVD combo pack exclusively to Target retailers on October 17 , 2017 , which includes a vintage VHS - inspired packaging . Reception Winona Ryder ( left ) was nominated for the Golden Globe , Satellite and Screen Actors Guild Award , while Millie Bobby Brown ( right ) was nominated for the Emmy Award and Screen Actors Guild Award for their work in the series . Audience viewership As Netflix does not reveal subscriber viewership numbers for any of their original series , Symphony Technology Group compiled data for the season based on people using software on their phones that measures television viewing by detecting a program 's sound . According to Symphony , within the first 35 days of release , Stranger Things averaged ratings around 14.07 million adults between the ages 18 -- 49 in the United States . This made it the third most - watched season of Netflix original content in the U.S. at the time behind the first season of Fuller House and fourth season of Orange Is the New Black . In a September 2016 analysis , Netflix found that Stranger Things `` hooked '' viewers by the second episode of the first season , indicating that the second episode was `` the first installment that led at least 70 percent of viewers who watched that episode to complete the entire first season of a show . '' In August 2017 , the marketing analytics firm Jumpshot determined the season was the seventh-most viewed Netflix season in the first 30 days after it premiered , garnering slightly more than 20 % of the viewers that the second season of Daredevil received , which was the most viewed season according to Jumpshot . Jumpshot , which `` analyzes click - stream data from an online panel of more than 100 million consumers '' , looked at the viewing behavior and activity of the company 's U.S. members , factoring in the relative number of U.S. Netflix viewers who watched at least one episode of the season . Critical reception Season 1 Season Critical response Rotten Tomatoes Metacritic 94 % ( 69 reviews ) 76 ( 34 reviews ) 94 % ( 109 reviews ) 78 ( 32 reviews ) Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gave the first season an approval rating of 94 % based on 69 reviews , and a weighted average rating of 7.96 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus states , `` Exciting , heartbreaking , and sometimes scary , Stranger Things acts as an addictive homage to Spielberg films and vintage 1980s television . '' Review aggregator Metacritic gave the first season a normalized score of 76 out of 100 based on 34 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . IGN gave the score of 8 out of 10 and called the series `` Great '' , saying `` Stranger Things is an easy recommendation , offering viewers an atmospheric and endearing series that is a nostalgic throwback without feeling like a simple copy . '' In a review in the San Francisco Chronicle Dave Wiegand wrote : `` Stranger Things reminds us of a time marked by a kind of no - strings escapism . And as it does so , we find ourselves yearning for it because the Duffers have made it so irresistibly appealing . There may be other equally great shows to watch this summer , but I guarantee you wo n't have more fun watching any of them than you will watching Stranger Things . '' Joshua Alston of The A.V. Club also reviewed it positively saying , `` Balancing style and substance is always challenging for a series like Stranger Things , but the show is perfectly calibrated . It feels like watching a show produced during the era in which it 's set , but with the craft of today 's prestige television . '' Reviewing for HitFix , Alan Sepinwall said , `` Over the course of the eight hours , the story and characters take on enough life of their own so that the references do n't feel self - indulgent , and so that the series can be appreciated even if you do n't know the plot of E.T. or the title font of Stephen King 's early novels ( a huge influence on the show 's own opening credits ) by heart . '' Emily Nussbaum of The New Yorker also applauded the series and wrote , `` This is astoundingly efficient storytelling , eight hours that pass in a blink , with even minor characters getting sharp dialogue , dark humor , or moments of pathos . '' Television critic Mary McNamara of Los Angeles Times said , `` For the most part , and in absolute defiance of the odds , Stranger Things honors its source material in the best way possible : By telling a sweet ' n ' scary story in which monsters are real but so are the transformative powers of love and fealty . '' The Wall Street Journal 's Brian Kelly said , `` Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer , brothers and the show 's creators , have done their homework when it comes to ' 80s cinema . Whether you 're a fan of John Carpenter 's The Thing or The Goonies is more your speed , there 's plenty to like in Stranger Things . '' In a negative review , cultural critic Grafton Tanner called the series `` wish fulfillment '' and `` a window through which the present - shocked can gaze at a clichéd past . '' Similarly , Marinna Guzy of The Establishment wrote : `` When confronted with a story like Stranger Things , a recycled retelling of an old story being marketed as homage and good , clean nostalgia , one has to wonder whether or not studios and content creators like The Duffer Brothers ever ask themselves whether or not the story they are telling is the one that should be told . What purpose does Stranger Things serve beyond reinforcing the status quo in the media landscape and perpetuating the dangerous delusion that things were better way back when ? '' Season 2 On Rotten Tomatoes , the second season has an approval rating of 94 % based on 109 reviews , and an average rating of 7.83 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus states , `` Stranger Things ' slow - building sophomore season balances moments of humor and a nostalgic sweetness against a growing horror that 's all the more effective thanks to the show 's full - bodied characters and evocative tone . '' On Metacritic , the second season has a normalized score of 78 out of 100 , based on 32 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . Commentary Shannon Purser 's performance as Barb received a great deal of attention from fans , and led to her being nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series . Shortly after its release , Stranger Things gained a dedicated fanbase . One area of focus from these fans was the character of Barb , the nerdy friend and classmate of Nancy who is taken and killed by the monster early in the season . According to actress Shannon Purser , Barb `` was n't supposed to be a big deal '' , and The Duffer Brothers had not gone into great detail about the character since the focus was on finding Will . However , many fans sympathized with the character , with Laura Bradley of Vanity Fair suggesting that these people found that Barb would be a similar misfit in society , and `` looks more like someone you might actually meet in real life '' compared to the other characters , particularly Nancy , in the series . Hashtags such as `` # ImWithBarb '' and `` # JusticeforBarb '' grew in popularity after the series ' release , and several fan sites and forums were created to support her . While Purser did not return for the second season , The Duffer Brothers used the real - life `` Justice for Barb '' movement as inspiration for narrative at the start of the second season , with Nancy addressing the fact `` that no one ever cares about '' Barb . Purser and several media outlets took her nomination as Barb for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series in the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards as achieving `` Justice for Barb '' , highlighting how well her character was received . Another impact of the series has been an increase demand for Eggo waffles , as they are shown to be Eleven 's favorite food in several episodes and are seen as a representation of the show . The Kellogg Company , which manufactures Eggo , had not been part of the production prior to the first season 's release , but recognized the market impact of the series . It provided a vintage 1980s Eggo television advertisement for Netflix to use in its Super Bowl LI commercial , and is looking to become more involved with cross-promotion .

The game uses a retro - pixel style of art , similar to games for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System . The game is loosely based on the Stranger Things story after season one , with the player starting as Chief of Police Jim Hopper looking for the missing boys . Once these characters are found , they become playable and have special abilities that allow the player to access more areas in the game . BonusXP had less than a year to complete the game . The team decided to make the game in a similar style to The Legend of Zelda because it `` was a perfect match because both ( Stranger Things and Zelda ) are about exploration , and it 's kind of a mysterious fit that fit the mood of the show , '' according to BonusXP president Dave Pottinger . The map of Hawkins in the game was based on a Google street view map of Jackson , Georgia where the series is filmed . In order to help keep the game a secret , BonusXP did not hire game testers for their quality assurance , instead having family members from the design team provide feedback ; this process helped create the two difficulty levels in the game . Completing the game gives players a clip from the Season 2 premiere episode of the show . The game was downloaded 3 million times in the first week , becoming a top download and receiving critical praise . With the release of season two , an update to the game added Max as a playable character , and a release for the Amazon Fire TV , which included controller support . PlayStation VR game Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced that it is working on a PlayStation 4 - exclusive game , based on Stranger Things , for their PlayStation VR peripheral . The company has since released a teaser showing the Christmas - lights - on - a-wall scenes . Others United States Representative David Cicilline compared the state of the nation during the presidency of Donald Trump to that of Stranger Things during a speech given in Congress on February 16 , 2017 , using a sign `` Trump Things '' in the same format as the title card of the show and saying `` Like the main characters in Stranger Things , we are now stuck in the Upside Down '' . As part of its release on Netflix on April 14 , 2017 , the cast of the rebooted version of Mystery Science Theater 3000 riffed on the first part of `` Chapter 1 '' of Stranger Things . Google used augmented reality ( AR ) `` stickers '' of Stranger Things characters to introduce its ARCore technology announced alongside its Pixel 2 phone in October 2017 . Sesame Street created a young audience - appropriate spoof of Stranger Things , called Sharing Things , released in November 2017 ; it featured Cookie Monster as the `` Cookiegorgon '' , Grover as Lucas , Ernie as Dustin , and included several nods to the narrative of the second season .

The show depicts the real - life struggles and treatment of people who suffer from compulsive hoarding disorder . The series premiered on August 17 , 2009 and concluded its original run on February 4 , 2013 , after six seasons . Over a year after the program 's original cancellation in 2013 , Lifetime began airing a series of weekly `` Where Are They Now ? '' episodes on June 2 , 2014 . This led to the production of a seventh season , Hoarders : Family Secrets , which aired on Lifetime from May 28 , 2015 to July 30 , 2015 . The program returned to A&E for an eighth season which began January 3 , 2016 . A second part of the eighth season began on August 21 , 2016 , under the title : Hoarders : Then and Now . Each broadcast presents an episode from earlier seasons , ending with a present - day visit to one of its featured hoarders by the therapist or organizer who worked with him / her . Interviews with the hoarder and his / her family reveal how their lives have progressed since their first appearance on the show . A ninth season began on December 19 , 2016 . Some episodes during this season air under the title Hoarders : Overload , presenting expanded versions of episodes from earlier seasons that include previously unaired footage and updates on the subjects . Contents ( hide ) 1 Overview 2 On - air personalities 2.1 Therapists 2.2 Organizers 3 Hoarding disorder 4 Reception 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Overview ( edit ) Each 60 - minute episode profiles one or two interventions . During most of the first season , the hoarder worked with either a psychiatrist / psychologist , a professional organizer , or an `` extreme cleaning specialist , '' each of whom specialized in some aspect involving the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorders , anxiety disorders , and / or hoarding . A crew of professional cleaners ( usually a local franchise of the series ' major corporate sponsor ) performed actual cleanups . Two episodes in the first season featured a cleanup with both a psychologist and an organizer : Jill ( episode `` Jennifer and Ron / Jill '' ) and Patty ( episode `` Patty / Bill '' ) ; from season two onward , all Hoarders were given a psychologist and an organizer . The final episode of the first season , `` Paul / Missy and Alex '' featured professional organizer , Geralin Thomas , CPO - CD working with Missy , while a child psychologist , Dr. David Dia , worked with Missy 's seven - year - old son Alex . Beginning in the second season , each hoarder had a psychologist - plus - organizer / cleaning specialist team assisting them in their cleanup . The psychologist - plus - organizer / cleaning specialist combination leads a group of cleaning professionals , family , friends , and relatives of the hoarder in conducting a two - to three - day decluttering session . The cleanups aim both to teach the hoarder new ways of thinking and patterns of behavior and to make the home a liveable and usable space . In most instances a crisis prompts the intervention , such as the threat of eviction or the removal of minor children from the home . Many times , cleanups are postponed due to outstanding circumstances . In the season 5 episode , `` Mary / Annie '' , crew members placed a 911 call , after discovering Mary unresponsive in her home . She was taken to a local hospital , and the cleanup resumed the following afternoon after she was released following respiratory problems . In another episode , the camera and cleanup crew were forced to evacuate a structurally unstable home following the 5.8 magnitude 2011 Virginia Earthquake . Twice in the series , a hoarder has kicked the crew off their property and refused further help . Lisa from season four aborted the cleanup after the first day , when her pets escaped in the process . Linda , from season nine , walked away six times , before allowing the crew to organize part of her barn ; she later told them to leave and not come back . Sandra , from season nine , no longer owned her home or horde when the episode covered her but the new owners of the home attempted to be accommodating towards her . Ultimately the vast majority of Sandra 's horde was destroyed with Sandra 's unwillingness to cooperate complicating matters . The failure to help Sandra left everyone from the psychologist involved to the homeowners heartbroken over their inability to help Sandra salvage something of her life . At the end of each episode , on - screen text indicates the short - term outcome of the cleanup effort , including the subjects ' decisions on whether to seek further assistance from organizers and / or therapists . The show provides six months of aftercare funds to pay these professionals and , occasionally , to carry out vital repairs to the home . Each of the `` Where Are They Now ? '' episodes on Lifetime revisits two or more hoarders , showing clips from their original appearances followed by newer footage detailing the progress they have made since they were featured on the show . On - air personalities ( edit ) There have been a number of therapists and professional organizers who have contributed to the show . Recurring cast members are as follows : Therapists ( edit ) Robin Zasio , Psy. D . Suzanne Chabaud , Ph. D . Melva Green , M.D. , M.B.A. , M.B.H. Michael Tomkins , Ph. D. , ABPP David Tolin , Ph. D . Mark Pfeffer , LMFT Organizers ( edit ) Geralin Thomas , Certified Professional Organizer Dorothy Brenninger , Certified Professional Organizer Matt Paxton , Extreme Cleaning Specialist Cory Chalmers , Extreme Cleaning Specialist Standolyn Robertson , Extreme Cleaning Specialist Dr. Darnita L. Payden , Life Management Specialist Hoarding disorder ( edit ) With the release of DSM - 5 in 2013 , hoarding was classified as a separate disorder . During show 's original run , hoarding behaviors were considered symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder ( OCD ) . Hoarding does show links to obsessive and compulsive behaviors ; however , it also shows connections to Major Depressive Disorder as well as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ( ADHD ) . Hoarding could have simply remained a symptom and been included under multiple disorders . However , treating the comorbid disorders in a patient often does not eliminate hoarding behaviors . Another significant factor in the disorder 's reclassification was the discovery that more people could be diagnosed with hoarding behaviors than could be diagnosed with OCD . This showed that hoarding could not be a subtype of OCD . Rather , it had to be a separate illness with similarities ( the fear of letting go being the obsession , and the hoarding of unneeded items as the compulsion ) . These similarities are recognized in the DSM - 5 , as hoarding is classified under the heading of `` Obsessive Compulsive Related Disorders . '' Other disorders in this category include Body Dysmorphic Disorder , Trichotillomania , and Excoriation . These disorders share common features `` such as obsessive preoccupation and repetitive behaviors . '' The role of documentary shows like Hoarders in the change of classification is unclear . However , some believe the rise in awareness caused by them was a significant contributing factor . When hoarding became a buzzword , it `` commanded a significant amount of professional ... attention '' . Studies that may have been prompted by this could have aided in revealing the disorder as the unique and complex illness it truly is . Reception ( edit ) At the time of its premiere , Hoarders was the most - watched series premiere in A&E network history among adults aged 18 -- 49 and tied for the most ever in the adults aged 25 -- 54 demographic . The premiere was watched by 2.5 million viewers : 1.8 million adults aged 18 -- 49 . In 2011 , Hoarders won a Critics Choice Award , in a tie with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills , for best reality series .

do you have to join a union in illinois | [
""
] | https://en.wikipedia.org//w/index.php?title=Right-to-work_law&oldid=817463417 | Right - to - work law - wikipedia Right - to - work law Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the U.S. laws prohibiting mandated union membership and dues . For the human right concept , see right to work . For the Indian law , see National Rural Employment Guarantee Act . Right - to - work laws are statutes in 28 U.S. states that prohibit union security agreements between companies and workers ' unions . Under these laws , employees in unionized workplaces may not be compelled to join a union , nor compelled to pay for any part of the cost of union representation , while generally receiving the same benefits as union members who do contribute . According to the Legal Defense Foundation , right - to - work laws prohibit union security agreements , or agreements between employers and labor unions , that govern the extent to which an established union can require employees ' membership , payment of union dues , or fees as a condition of employment , either before or after hiring . Right - to - work laws do not aim to provide general guarantee of employment to people seeking work , but rather are a government regulation of the contractual agreements between employers and labor unions that prevents them from excluding non-union workers , or requiring employees to pay a fee to unions that have negotiated the labor contract all the employees work under . Unions are already governed by regulations and laws , including public policy on labor - management relations ( e.g. , a university central office professional position on labor relations ) . Typically , unions are organized by industry ( e.g. , healthcare , restaurant , steel workers , teachers , state government - professional , non-professional ) , and they are required to be first voted in by employees and management , typically with an open ended representation with no renewal or reauthorization or recall ability ( the only recourse being to petition to decertify as required by federal law ) , with provisions on dues payments required as of 2011 . For example , while municipal employees have their unions , as do police and firefighters , other non-profit agencies in localities may not be offered these same protections . Right - to - work provisions ( either by law or by constitutional provision ) exist in 28 U.S. states , mostly in the southern and western United States , but also including the Midwestern states of Michigan , Indiana , and Wisconsin . Business interests represented by the United States Chamber of Commerce have lobbied extensively to pass right - to - work legislation . Such laws are allowed under the 1947 federal Taft -- Hartley Act . A further distinction is often made within the law between people employed by state and municipal governments and those employed by the private sector , with states that are otherwise union shop ( i.e. , workers must pay for union representation in order to obtain or retain a job ) having right to work laws in effect for government employees ; provided , however , that the law also permits an `` agency shop '' where employees pay their share for representation ( less than union dues ) , while not joining the union as members . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Wagner Act ( 1935 ) 1.2 Taft -- Hartley Act ( 1947 ) 1.3 Current status 2 Arguments 2.1 In favor 2.1. 1 Minority rights and due process 2.1. 2 Freedom of association 2.1. 3 Unfairness 2.1. 4 Political contributions 2.2 Opposed 2.2. 1 Free riders 2.2. 2 Freedom of contract and association 2.2. 3 Corporate interests 3 Studies of economic effect 4 Polling 5 U.S. states with right - to - work laws 6 See also 7 References 8 External links 8.1 Opposed to right - to - work laws 8.2 Supported right - to - work laws History ( edit ) Wagner Act ( 1935 ) ( edit ) The National Labor Relations Act , generally known as the Wagner Act , was passed in 1935 as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt 's `` Second New Deal . '' Among other things , the Act provided that a company could lawfully agree to be any of the following : A closed shop , in which employees must be members of the union as a condition of employment . Under a closed shop , an employee who ceased being a member of the union for whatever reason , from failure to pay dues to expulsion from the union as an internal disciplinary punishment , was required to be fired even if the employee did not violate any of the employer 's rules . A union shop , which allows for hiring non-union employees , provided that the employees then join the union within a certain period . An agency shop , in which employees must pay the equivalent of the cost of union representation , but need not formally join the union . An open shop , in which an employee can not be compelled to join or pay the equivalent of dues to a union or be fired for joining the union . The Act tasked the National Labor Relations Board , which had existed since 1933 , with overseeing the rules . Taft -- Hartley Act ( 1947 ) ( edit ) In 1947 Congress passed the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947 , generally known as the Taft -- Hartley Act , over President Harry S. Truman 's veto . The Act repealed some parts of the Wagner Act , including outlawing the closed shop . Section 14 ( b ) of the Taft - Hartley Act also authorizes individual states ( but not local governments , such as cities or counties ) to outlaw the union shop and agency shop for employees working in their jurisdictions . Any state law that outlaws such arrangements is known as a `` right - to - work law . '' In the early development of the right - to - work policy , segregationist sentiment was used as an argument , as many people in the South felt that it was wrong for blacks and whites to belong to the same unions . Vance Muse , one of the early developers of the policy in Texas , used that argument in the development of anti-union laws in Texas in the 1940s . Current status ( edit ) The federal government operates under open shop rules nationwide , but many of its employees are represented by unions . Unions that represent professional athletes have written contracts that include particular representation provisions ( such as in the National Football League ) , but their application is limited to `` wherever and whenever legal , '' as the Supreme Court has clearly held that the application of a right - to - work law is determined by the employee 's `` predominant job situs . '' Players on professional sports teams in states with right - to - work laws are thus subject to those laws and can not be required to pay any portion of union dues as a condition of continued employment . Twenty - two states , as well as the District of Columbia , do not have right - to - work laws . On November 18 , 2016 , the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the right of local governments to enact local right - to - work laws in Kentucky , Ohio , and the other states of its jurisdiction . Arguments ( edit ) In Favor ( edit ) Minority Rights and due process ( edit ) The first arguments concerning the right to work centered around the rights of a dissenting minority with respect to an opposing majoritarian collective bargain . President Franklin Roosevelt 's `` New Deal '' had prompted many U.S. Supreme Court challenges , among which were challenges regarding the constitutionality of the National Industry Recovery Act of 1933 ( NIRA ) . In 1936 , as a part of its ruling in Carter v. Carter Coal Co. the Court ruled against mandatory collective bargaining , stating : `` The effect , in respect to wages and hours , is to subject the dissentient minority ... to the will of the stated majority ... To ' accept ' in these circumstances , is not to exercise a choice , but to surrender to force . The power conferred upon the majority is , in effect , the power to regulate the affairs of an unwilling minority . This is legislative delegation in its most obnoxious form ; for it is not even delegation to an official or an official body ... but to private persons ... ( A ) statute which attempts to confer such power undertakes an intolerable and unconstitutional interference with personal liberty and private property . The delegation is so clearly arbitrary , and so clearly a denial of rights safeguarded by the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment , that it is unnecessary to do more than refer to decisions of this Court which foreclose the question . '' Freedom of association ( edit ) Besides the U.S. Supreme Court , other proponents of right - to - work laws also point to the Constitution and the right to freedom of association . They argue that workers should both be free to join unions or to refrain , and thus , sometimes refer to non-right - to - work states as `` forced unionism '' states . These proponents argue that by being forced into a collective bargain , what the majoritarian unions call a fair share of collective bargaining costs is actually `` financial coercion and a violation of freedom of choice . '' An opponent to the union bargain is forced to `` financially support an organization they did not vote for , in order to receive monopoly representation they have no choice over . '' Some religions , such as the Seventh - Day Adventist Church , prohibit or discourage the joining of unions , citing Ellen White and the Loss of Free Will if you join a union . Unfairness ( edit ) Proponents such as the Mackinac Center for Public Policy contend that it is unfair that unions can require new and existing employees to either join the union or pay fees for collective bargaining expenses as a condition of employment under union security agreement contracts . Other proponents contend that unions may still be needed in new and growing sectors of the economy , for example , the voluntary and third party sectors , to assure adequate benefits for new immigrant , `` part - time '' aides in America ( e.g. , US Direct Support Workforce ) . Political contributions ( edit ) Right - to - work proponents , including the Center for Union Facts , contend that political contributions made by unions are not representative of the union workers . The agency shop portion of this had previously been contested with support of National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation in Communications Workers of America v. Beck , resulting in `` Beck rights '' preventing agency fees from being used for expenses outside of collective bargaining if the non-union worker notifies the union of their objection .

The specific problem is : article needs a coherent summary of arguments by someone at least slightly familiar with the subject Please help improve this article if you can . ( December 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Opponents such as Richard Kahlenberg have argued that while it is an effective political slogan , the phrase `` right - to - work '' is a misnomer because the lack of such a law does not deprive anyone of the right to work . The Taft -- Hartley Act ( 1947 ) outlawed the union - only `` closed shops '' which did deprive people of the right to work , and the `` right to work '' does n't eliminate a worker 's option of joining a work or labor union . A right - to - work law simply `` gives employees the right to be free riders -- to benefit from collective bargaining without paying for it '' . Under labor laws in the United States , the union as the exclusive collective bargaining agent has a duty of fair representation for all persons in the bargaining unit , including those who choose not to be members and pay dues . Thus , in Abood v. Detroit Board of Education , the Supreme Court of the United States permitted agency fees so that employees in the public sector could be required to pay for the costs of representation , even as they opted not to be a member . The right to challenge the fees must include the right to have it heard by an impartial fact finder . Freedom of contract and association ( edit ) Opponents argue that right - to - work laws restrict freedom of association , and limit the sorts of agreements individuals acting collectively can make with their employer , by prohibiting workers and employers from agreeing to contracts that include `` fair share fees '' . Moreover , American law imposes a duty of fair representation on unions ; consequently non-members in right to work states can and do force unions to provide without compensation grievance services that are paid for by union members . Hence right - to - work laws are not neutral , but rather impose an active and artificial burden on labor unions . In December 2012 , libertarian writer J.D. Tuccille , in Reason magazine , wrote : `` I consider the restrictions right - to - work laws impose on bargaining between unions and businesses to violate freedom of contract and association ... I 'm disappointed that the state has , once again , inserted itself into the marketplace to place its thumb on the scale in the never - ending game of playing business and labor off against one another ... This is not to say that unions are always good . It means that , when the state is n't involved , they 're private organizations that can offer value to their members . '' Corporate interests ( edit ) Critics from organized labor have pointed out since the late 1970s that while the National Right to Work Committee purports to engage in grass - roots lobbying on behalf of the `` little guy '' , the National Right to Work Committee was formed by a group of southern businessmen with the express purpose of fighting unions , and that they `` added a few workers for the purpose of public relations '' . The unions also contend that the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and National Right to Work Committee have received millions of dollars in grants from foundations controlled by major U.S. industrialists like the New York - based Olin Foundation , Inc. , which grew out of a family manufacturing business , but now funds primarily conservative think tanks , media outlets , and university law programs . Kahlenberg and Marvit also argue that , at least in efforts to pass a right - to - work law in Michigan , excluding police and firefighter unions -- traditionally less hostile to Republicans -- from the law caused some to question claims that the law was simply an effort to improve Michigan 's businesses climate , not to seek partisan advantage . Corporate interests have now involved the growing non-profit and voluntary sectors of the economy which `` achieved parity in wages and benefits '' to the state , unionized workforces , while not assuring provisions such as adverse hearings which benefit employees . Studies of economic effect ( edit ) According to Tim Bartik of the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research , studies of the effect of right - to - work laws `` abound , '' but are not `` consistent . '' Studies have found both `` some positive effect on job growth , '' and no effect . Thomas Holmes argues that it is difficult to analyze right - to - work laws by comparing states due to other similarities between states that have passed these laws . For instance , right - to - work states often have some strong pro-business policies , making it difficult to isolate the effect of right - to - work laws . Looking at the growth of states in the Southeast following World War II , Bartik notes that while they have right - to - work laws they have also benefited from `` factors like the widespread use of air conditioning and different modes of transportation that helped decentralize manufacturing '' . Economist Thomas Holmes compared counties close to the border between states with and without right - to - work laws ( thereby holding constant an array of factors related to geography and climate ) . He found that the cumulative growth of employment in manufacturing in the right - to - work states was 26 percentage points greater than that in the non-right - to - work states . However , given the study design , Holmes points out `` my results do not say that it is right - to - work laws that matter , but rather that the ' probusiness package ' offered by right - to - work states seems to matter . '' Moreover , as noted by Kevin Drum and others , this result may reflect business relocation rather than an overall enhancement of economic growth , since `` businesses prefer locating in states where costs are low and rules are lax . '' A February 2011 study by the Economic Policy Institute found : Wages in right - to - work states are 3.2 % lower than those in non-RTW states , after controlling for a full complement of individual demographic and socioeconomic variables as well as state macroeconomic indicators . Using the average wage in non-RTW states as the base ( $22.11 ) , the average full - time , full - year worker in an RTW state makes about $1,500 less annually than a similar worker in a non-RTW state . The study goes on to say `` How much of this difference can be attributed to RTW status itself ? There is an inherent `` endogeneity '' problem in any attempt to answer that question , namely that RTW and non-RTW states differ on a wide variety of measures that are also related to compensation , making it difficult to isolate the impact of RTW status . '' The rate of employer - sponsored health insurance ( ESI ) is 2.6 percentage points lower in RTW states compared with non-RTW states , after controlling for individual , job , and state - level characteristics . If workers in non-RTW states were to receive ESI at this lower rate , 2 million fewer workers nationally would be covered . The rate of employer - sponsored pensions is 4.8 percentage points lower in RTW states , using the full complement of control variables in ( the study 's ) regression model . If workers in non-RTW states were to receive pensions at this lower rate , 3.8 million fewer workers nationally would have pensions . A 2008 editorial in The Wall Street Journal comparing job growth in Ohio and Texas stated that from 1998 to 2008 , Ohio lost 10,400 jobs , while Texas gained 1,615,000 . The opinion piece suggested right - to - work laws might be among the reasons for the economic expansion in Texas , along with the North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA ) , and the absence of a state income tax in Texas . Another Wall Street Journal editorial in 2012 , by the president and the labor policy director of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy , reported 71 % employment growth in right - to - work states from 1980 to 2011 , while employment in non-right - to - work states grew just 32 % during the same period . The 2012 editorial also stated that since 2001 , compensation in right - to - work states had increased 4 times faster than in other states . Polling ( edit ) In January 2012 , in the immediate aftermath of passage of Indiana 's right - to - work law , Rasmussen Reports found that 74 % of likely U.S. voters supported right - to - work laws , but `` most also do n't think a non-union worker should enjoy benefits negotiated by the union . '' In Michigan in January through March 2013 , a poll found that 43 percent of those polled thought the law would help Michigan 's economy , while 41 percent thought it would hurt . U.S. states with right - to - work laws ( edit ) Right - to - work states shown in turquoise . The following states ( 28 ) are right - to - work states : Alabama ( adopted 1953 , Constitution 2016 ) Arizona ( Constitution , State Constitution Article 25 approved 1946 ) ( adopted 1944 ) Arkansas ( Constitution , 1947 , Amendment 34 ) Florida ( Constitution , 1944 , revised 1968 , Article 1 , Section 6 ) Georgia ( adopted 1947 ) Idaho ( adopted 1985 ) Indiana ( State law , 2012 ) Iowa ( adopted 1947 ) Kansas ( Constitution , 1958 , Article 15 , Section 12 ) Kentucky ( adopted 2017 ) Louisiana ( adopted 1976 ) Michigan ( State law , 2012 ) Mississippi ( Constitution , adopted 1954 ) Missouri ( adopted 2017 ) ( Postponed to 2018 for citizen voting ) Nebraska ( Constitution and statute , adopted 1946 ) Nevada ( adopted 1951 ) North Carolina ( adopted 1947 ) North Dakota ( adopted 1947 ) Oklahoma ( Constitution , adopted 2001 ) South Carolina ( adopted 1954 ) South Dakota ( adopted 1946 ) Tennessee ( adopted 1947 ) Texas ( adopted 1947 , revised 1993 ) Utah ( adopted 1955 ) Virginia ( adopted 1947 ) West Virginia ( adopted 2016 ) Wisconsin ( adopted 2015 ) Wyoming ( adopted 1963 ) In addition , the territory of Guam also has right - to - work laws , and employees of the US Federal Government have the right to choose whether or not to join their respective unions . New Hampshire adopted a right - to - work bill in 1947 , but it was repealed in 1949 by the state legislature and governor .

It is a giant planet with a mass one - thousandth that of the Sun , but two - and - a-half times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined . Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants ; the other two giant planets , Uranus and Neptune are ice giants . Jupiter has been known to astronomers since antiquity . The Romans named it after their god Jupiter . When viewed from Earth , Jupiter can reach an apparent magnitude of − 2.94 , bright enough for its reflected light to cast shadows , and making it on average the third - brightest object in the night sky after the Moon and Venus . Jupiter is primarily composed of hydrogen with a quarter of its mass being helium , though helium comprises only about a tenth of the number of molecules . It may also have a rocky core of heavier elements , but like the other giant planets , Jupiter lacks a well - defined solid surface . Because of its rapid rotation , the planet 's shape is that of an oblate spheroid ( it has a slight but noticeable bulge around the equator ) . The outer atmosphere is visibly segregated into several bands at different latitudes , resulting in turbulence and storms along their interacting boundaries . A prominent result is the Great Red Spot , a giant storm that is known to have existed since at least the 17th century when it was first seen by telescope . Surrounding Jupiter is a faint planetary ring system and a powerful magnetosphere . Jupiter has at least 69 moons , including the four large Galilean moons discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610 . Ganymede , the largest of these , has a diameter greater than that of the planet Mercury . Jupiter has been explored on several occasions by robotic spacecraft , most notably during the early Pioneer and Voyager flyby missions and later by the Galileo orbiter . In late February 2007 , Jupiter was visited by the New Horizons probe , which used Jupiter 's gravity to increase its speed and bend its trajectory en route to Pluto . The latest probe to visit the planet is Juno , which entered into orbit around Jupiter on July 4 , 2016 . Future targets for exploration in the Jupiter system include the probable ice - covered liquid ocean of its moon Europa .

As Jupiter came toward the inner Solar System , in what theorists call the Grand Tack Hypothesis , gravitational tugs and pulls occurred causing a series of collisions between the super-Earths as their orbits began to overlap . Astronomers have discovered nearly 500 planetary systems with multiple planets . Regularly these systems include a few planets with masses several times greater than Earth 's ( super-Earths ) , orbiting closer to their star than Mercury is to the Sun , and sometimes also Jupiter - mass gas giants close to their star . Jupiter moving out of the inner Solar System would have allowed the formation of inner planets , including Earth . Physical characteristics Jupiter is composed primarily of gaseous and liquid matter . It is the largest of the four giant planets in the Solar System and hence its largest planet . It has a diameter of 142,984 km ( 88,846 mi ) at its equator . The average density of Jupiter , 1.326 g / cm , is the second highest of the giant planets , but lower than those of the four terrestrial planets . Composition Jupiter 's upper atmosphere is about 88 -- 92 % hydrogen and 8 -- 12 % helium by percent volume of gas molecules . A helium atom has about four times as much mass as a hydrogen atom , so the composition changes when described as the proportion of mass contributed by different atoms . Thus , Jupiter 's atmosphere is approximately 75 % hydrogen and 24 % helium by mass , with the remaining one percent of the mass consisting of other elements . The atmosphere contains trace amounts of methane , water vapor , ammonia , and silicon - based compounds . There are also traces of carbon , ethane , hydrogen sulfide , neon , oxygen , phosphine , and sulfur . The outermost layer of the atmosphere contains crystals of frozen ammonia . The interior contains denser materials - by mass it is roughly 71 % hydrogen , 24 % helium , and 5 % other elements . Through infrared and ultraviolet measurements , trace amounts of benzene and other hydrocarbons have also been found . The atmospheric proportions of hydrogen and helium are close to the theoretical composition of the primordial solar nebula . Neon in the upper atmosphere only consists of 20 parts per million by mass , which is about a tenth as abundant as in the Sun . Helium is also depleted to about 80 % of the Sun 's helium composition . This depletion is a result of precipitation of these elements into the interior of the planet . Based on spectroscopy , Saturn is thought to be similar in composition to Jupiter , but the other giant planets Uranus and Neptune have relatively less hydrogen and helium and relatively more ices and are thus now termed ice giants . Mass and size Main article : Jupiter mass Jupiter 's diameter is one order of magnitude smaller ( × 0.10045 ) than that of the Sun , and one order of magnitude larger ( × 10.9733 ) than that of Earth . The Great Red Spot is roughly the same size as Earth . Jupiter 's mass is 2.5 times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined -- this is so massive that its barycenter with the Sun lies above the Sun 's surface at 1.068 solar radii from the Sun 's center . Jupiter is much larger than Earth and considerably less dense : its volume is that of about 1,321 Earths , but it is only 318 times as massive . Jupiter 's radius is about 1 / 10 the radius of the Sun , and its mass is 0.001 times the mass of the Sun , so the densities of the two bodies are similar . A `` Jupiter mass '' ( M or M ) is often used as a unit to describe masses of other objects , particularly extrasolar planets and brown dwarfs . So , for example , the extrasolar planet HD 209458 b has a mass of 0.69 M , while Kappa Andromedae b has a mass of 12.8 M . Theoretical models indicate that if Jupiter had much more mass than it does at present , it would shrink . For small changes in mass , the radius would not change appreciably , and above about 500 M ( 1.6 Jupiter masses ) the interior would become so much more compressed under the increased pressure that its volume would decrease despite the increasing amount of matter . As a result , Jupiter is thought to have about as large a diameter as a planet of its composition and evolutionary history can achieve . The process of further shrinkage with increasing mass would continue until appreciable stellar ignition was achieved , as in high - mass brown dwarfs having around 50 Jupiter masses . Although Jupiter would need to be about 75 times as massive to fuse hydrogen and become a star , the smallest red dwarf is only about 30 percent larger in radius than Jupiter . Despite this , Jupiter still radiates more heat than it receives from the Sun ; the amount of heat produced inside it is similar to the total solar radiation it receives . This additional heat is generated by the Kelvin -- Helmholtz mechanism through contraction . This process causes Jupiter to shrink by about 2 cm each year . When it was first formed , Jupiter was much hotter and was about twice its current diameter . Internal structure Jupiter is thought to consist of a dense core with a mixture of elements , a surrounding layer of liquid metallic hydrogen with some helium , and an outer layer predominantly of molecular hydrogen . Beyond this basic outline , there is still considerable uncertainty . The core is often described as rocky , but its detailed composition is unknown , as are the properties of materials at the temperatures and pressures of those depths ( see below ) . In 1997 , the existence of the core was suggested by gravitational measurements , indicating a mass of from 12 to 45 times that of Earth , or roughly 4 % -- 14 % of the total mass of Jupiter . The presence of a core during at least part of Jupiter 's history is suggested by models of planetary formation that require the formation of a rocky or icy core massive enough to collect its bulk of hydrogen and helium from the protosolar nebula . Assuming it did exist , it may have shrunk as convection currents of hot liquid metallic hydrogen mixed with the molten core and carried its contents to higher levels in the planetary interior . A core may now be entirely absent , as gravitational measurements are not yet precise enough to rule that possibility out entirely . Animation of Jupiter seen in infrared The uncertainty of the models is tied to the error margin in hitherto measured parameters : one of the rotational coefficients ( J ) used to describe the planet 's gravitational moment , Jupiter 's equatorial radius , and its temperature at 1 bar pressure . The Juno mission , which arrived in July 2016 , is expected to further constrain the values of these parameters for better models of the core . The core region may be surrounded by dense metallic hydrogen , which extends outward to about 78 % of the radius of the planet . Rain - like droplets of helium and neon precipitate downward through this layer , depleting the abundance of these elements in the upper atmosphere . Rainfalls of diamonds have been suggested to occur on Jupiter , as well as on Saturn and ice giants Uranus and Neptune . Above the layer of metallic hydrogen lies a transparent interior atmosphere of hydrogen . At this depth , the pressure and temperature are above hydrogen 's critical pressure of 1.2858 MPa and critical temperature of only 32.938 K . In this state , there are no distinct liquid and gas phases -- hydrogen is said to be in a supercritical fluid state . It is convenient to treat hydrogen as gas in the upper layer extending downward from the cloud layer to a depth of about 1,000 km , and as liquid in deeper layers . Physically , there is no clear boundary -- the gas smoothly becomes hotter and denser as one descends . The temperature and pressure inside Jupiter increase steadily toward the core , due to the Kelvin -- Helmholtz mechanism . At the pressure level of 10 bars ( 1 MPa ) , the temperature is around 340 K ( 67 ° C ; 152 ° F ) . At the phase transition region where hydrogen -- heated beyond its critical point -- becomes metallic , it is calculated the temperature is 10,000 K ( 9,700 ° C ; 17,500 ° F ) and the pressure is 200 GPa . The temperature at the core boundary is estimated to be 36,000 K ( 35,700 ° C ; 64,300 ° F ) and the interior pressure is roughly 3,000 -- 4,500 GPa . This cut - away illustrates a model of the interior of Jupiter , with a rocky core overlaid by a deep layer of liquid metallic hydrogen . Atmosphere Main article : Atmosphere of Jupiter Jupiter has the largest planetary atmosphere in the Solar System , spanning over 5,000 km ( 3,000 mi ) in altitude . Because Jupiter has no surface , the base of its atmosphere is usually considered to be the point at which atmospheric pressure is equal to 100 kPa ( 1.0 bar ) . Cloud layers The movement of Jupiter 's counter-rotating cloud bands . This looping animation maps the planet 's exterior onto a cylindrical projection . South polar view of Jupiter Enhanced color view of Jupiter 's southern storms Jupiter is perpetually covered with clouds composed of ammonia crystals and possibly ammonium hydrosulfide . The clouds are located in the tropopause and are arranged into bands of different latitudes , known as tropical regions . These are sub-divided into lighter - hued zones and darker belts . The interactions of these conflicting circulation patterns cause storms and turbulence . Wind speeds of 100 m / s ( 360 km / h ) are common in zonal jets . The zones have been observed to vary in width , color and intensity from year to year , but they have remained sufficiently stable for scientists to give them identifying designations . Jupiter clouds ( Juno ; December 2017 ) The cloud layer is only about 50 km ( 31 mi ) deep , and consists of at least two decks of clouds : a thick lower deck and a thin clearer region . There may also be a thin layer of water clouds underlying the ammonia layer . Supporting the idea of water clouds are the flashes of lightning detected in the atmosphere of Jupiter . These electrical discharges can be up to a thousand times as powerful as lightning on Earth . The water clouds are assumed to generate thunderstorms in the same way as terrestrial thunderstorms , driven by the heat rising from the interior . The orange and brown coloration in the clouds of Jupiter are caused by upwelling compounds that change color when they are exposed to ultraviolet light from the Sun . The exact makeup remains uncertain , but the substances are thought to be phosphorus , sulfur or possibly hydrocarbons . These colorful compounds , known as chromophores , mix with the warmer , lower deck of clouds . The zones are formed when rising convection cells form crystallizing ammonia that masks out these lower clouds from view . Jupiter 's low axial tilt means that the poles constantly receive less solar radiation than at the planet 's equatorial region . Convection within the interior of the planet transports more energy to the poles , balancing out the temperatures at the cloud layer . Great Red Spot and other vortices Time - lapse sequence from the approach of Voyager 1 , showing the motion of atmospheric bands and circulation of the Great Red Spot . Recorded over 32 days with one photograph taken every 10 hours ( once per Jovian day ) . See full size video . The best known feature of Jupiter is the Great Red Spot , a persistent anticyclonic storm that is larger than Earth , located 22 ° south of the equator . It is known to have been in existence since at least 1831 , and possibly since 1665 . Images by the Hubble Space Telescope have shown as many as two `` red spots '' adjacent to the Great Red Spot . The storm is large enough to be visible through Earth - based telescopes with an aperture of 12 cm or larger . The oval object rotates counterclockwise , with a period of about six days . The maximum altitude of this storm is about 8 km ( 5 mi ) above the surrounding cloudtops . Great Red Spot is decreasing in size ( May 15 , 2014 ) . The Great Red Spot is large enough to accommodate Earth within its boundaries . Mathematical models suggest that the storm is stable and may be a permanent feature of the planet . However , it has significantly decreased in size since its discovery . Initial observations in the late 1800s showed it to be approximately 41,000 km ( 25,500 mi ) across . By the time of the Voyager flybys in 1979 , the storm had a length of 23,300 km ( 14,500 mi ) and a width of approximately 13,000 km ( 8,000 mi ) . Hubble observations in 1995 showed it had decreased in size again to 20,950 km ( 13,020 mi ) , and observations in 2009 showed the size to be 17,910 km ( 11,130 mi ) . As of 2015 , the storm was measured at approximately 16,500 by 10,940 km ( 10,250 by 6,800 mi ) , and is decreasing in length by about 930 km ( 580 mi ) per year . Storms such as this are common within the turbulent atmospheres of giant planets . Jupiter also has white ovals and brown ovals , which are lesser unnamed storms . White ovals tend to consist of relatively cool clouds within the upper atmosphere . Brown ovals are warmer and located within the `` normal cloud layer '' . Such storms can last as little as a few hours or stretch on for centuries . Even before Voyager proved that the feature was a storm , there was strong evidence that the spot could not be associated with any deeper feature on the planet 's surface , as the Spot rotates differentially with respect to the rest of the atmosphere , sometimes faster and sometimes more slowly . In 2000 , an atmospheric feature formed in the southern hemisphere that is similar in appearance to the Great Red Spot , but smaller . This was created when several smaller , white oval - shaped storms merged to form a single feature -- these three smaller white ovals were first observed in 1938 . The merged feature was named Oval BA , and has been nicknamed Red Spot Junior . It has since increased in intensity and changed color from white to red . In April 2017 , scientists reported the discovery of a `` Great Cold Spot '' in Jupiter 's thermosphere at its north pole that is 24,000 km ( 15,000 mi ) across , 12,000 km ( 7,500 mi ) wide , and 200 ° C ( 360 ° F ) cooler than surrounding material . The feature was discovered by researchers at the Very Large Telescope in Chile , who then searched archived data from the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility between 1995 and 2000 . They found that , while the Spot changes size , shape and intensity over the short term , it has maintained its general position in the atmosphere across more than 15 years of available data . Scientists believe the Spot is a giant vortex similar to the Great Red Spot and also appears to be quasi-stable like the vortices in Earth 's thermosphere . Interactions between charged particles generated from Io and the planet 's strong magnetic field likely resulted in redistribution of heat flow , forming the Spot . Magnetosphere Main article : Magnetosphere of Jupiter Aurorae on the north pole of Jupiter as viewed by Hubble Infrared view of Jupiter 's southern lights , taken by the Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper Jupiter 's magnetic field is fourteen times as strong as that of Earth , ranging from 4.2 gauss ( 0.42 mT ) at the equator to 10 -- 14 gauss ( 1.0 -- 1.4 mT ) at the poles , making it the strongest in the Solar System ( except for sunspots ) . This field is thought to be generated by eddy currents -- swirling movements of conducting materials -- within the liquid metallic hydrogen core . The volcanoes on the moon Io emit large amounts of sulfur dioxide forming a gas torus along the moon 's orbit . The gas is ionized in the magnetosphere producing sulfur and oxygen ions . They , together with hydrogen ions originating from the atmosphere of Jupiter , form a plasma sheet in Jupiter 's equatorial plane . The plasma in the sheet co-rotates with the planet causing deformation of the dipole magnetic field into that of magnetodisk . Electrons within the plasma sheet generate a strong radio signature that produces bursts in the range of 0.6 -- 30 MHz . At about 75 Jupiter radii from the planet , the interaction of the magnetosphere with the solar wind generates a bow shock . Surrounding Jupiter 's magnetosphere is a magnetopause , located at the inner edge of a magnetosheath -- a region between it and the bow shock . The solar wind interacts with these regions , elongating the magnetosphere on Jupiter 's lee side and extending it outward until it nearly reaches the orbit of Saturn . The four largest moons of Jupiter all orbit within the magnetosphere , which protects them from the solar wind . The magnetosphere of Jupiter is responsible for intense episodes of radio emission from the planet 's polar regions . Volcanic activity on Jupiter 's moon Io ( see below ) injects gas into Jupiter 's magnetosphere , producing a torus of particles about the planet . As Io moves through this torus , the interaction generates Alfvén waves that carry ionized matter into the polar regions of Jupiter . As a result , radio waves are generated through a cyclotron maser mechanism , and the energy is transmitted out along a cone - shaped surface . When Earth intersects this cone , the radio emissions from Jupiter can exceed the solar radio output . Orbit and rotation Jupiter ( red ) completes one orbit of the Sun ( center ) for every 11.86 orbits of Earth ( blue ) Jupiter is the only planet whose barycenter with the Sun lies outside the volume of the Sun , though by only 7 % of the Sun 's radius . The average distance between Jupiter and the Sun is 778 million km ( about 5.2 times the average distance between Earth and the Sun , or 5.2 AU ) and it completes an orbit every 11.86 years . This is approximately two - fifths the orbital period of Saturn , forming a near orbital resonance between the two largest planets in the Solar System . The elliptical orbit of Jupiter is inclined 1.31 ° compared to Earth . Because the eccentricity of its orbit is 0.048 , Jupiter 's distance from the Sun varies by 75 million km between its nearest approach ( perihelion ) and furthest distance ( aphelion ) . The axial tilt of Jupiter is relatively small : only 3.13 ° . As a result , it does not experience significant seasonal changes , in contrast to , for example , Earth and Mars . Jupiter 's rotation is the fastest of all the Solar System 's planets , completing a rotation on its axis in slightly less than ten hours ; this creates an equatorial bulge easily seen through an Earth - based amateur telescope . The planet is shaped as an oblate spheroid , meaning that the diameter across its equator is longer than the diameter measured between its poles . On Jupiter , the equatorial diameter is 9,275 km ( 5,763 mi ) longer than the diameter measured through the poles . Because Jupiter is not a solid body , its upper atmosphere undergoes differential rotation . The rotation of Jupiter 's polar atmosphere is about 5 minutes longer than that of the equatorial atmosphere ; three systems are used as frames of reference , particularly when graphing the motion of atmospheric features . System I applies from the latitudes 10 ° N to 10 ° S ; its period is the planet 's shortest , at 9h 50m 30.0 s . System II applies at all latitudes north and south of these ; its period is 9h 55m 40.6 s . System III was first defined by radio astronomers , and corresponds to the rotation of the planet 's magnetosphere ; its period is Jupiter 's official rotation . Observation Conjunction of Jupiter and the Moon The retrograde motion of an outer planet is caused by its relative location with respect to Earth Jupiter is usually the fourth brightest object in the sky ( after the Sun , the Moon and Venus ) ; at times Mars appears brighter than Jupiter . Depending on Jupiter 's position with respect to the Earth , it can vary in visual magnitude from as bright as − 2.9 at opposition down to − 1.6 during conjunction with the Sun . The angular diameter of Jupiter likewise varies from 50.1 to 29.8 arc seconds . Favorable oppositions occur when Jupiter is passing through perihelion , an event that occurs once per orbit . Earth overtakes Jupiter every 398.9 days as it orbits the Sun , a duration called the synodic period . As it does so , Jupiter appears to undergo retrograde motion with respect to the background stars . That is , for a period Jupiter seems to move backward in the night sky , performing a looping motion . Because the orbit of Jupiter is outside that of Earth , the phase angle of Jupiter as viewed from Earth never exceeds 11.5 ° . That is , the planet always appears nearly fully illuminated when viewed through Earth - based telescopes . It was only during spacecraft missions to Jupiter that crescent views of the planet were obtained . A small telescope will usually show Jupiter 's four Galilean moons and the prominent cloud belts across Jupiter 's atmosphere . A large telescope will show Jupiter 's Great Red Spot when it faces Earth . Research and exploration Pre-telescopic Research Model in the Almagest of the longitudinal motion of Jupiter ( ☉ ) relative to Earth ( ⊕ ) The observation of Jupiter dates back to at least the Babylonian astronomers of the 7th or 8th century BC . The ancient Chinese also observed the orbit of Suìxīng ( 歲星 ) and established their cycle of 12 earthly branches based on its approximate number of years ; the Chinese language still uses its name ( simplified as 岁 ) when referring to years of age . By the 4th century BC , these observations had developed into the Chinese zodiac , with each year associated with a Tai Sui star and god controlling the region of the heavens opposite Jupiter 's position in the night sky ; these beliefs survive in some Taoist religious practices and in the East Asian zodiac 's twelve animals , now often popularly assumed to be related to the arrival of the animals before Buddha . The Chinese historian Xi Zezong has claimed that Gan De , an ancient Chinese astronomer , discovered one of Jupiter 's moons in 362 BC with the unaided eye . If accurate , this would predate Galileo 's discovery by nearly two millennia . In his 2nd century work the Almagest , the Hellenistic astronomer Claudius Ptolemaeus constructed a geocentric planetary model based on deferents and epicycles to explain Jupiter 's motion relative to Earth , giving its orbital period around Earth as 4332.38 days , or 11.86 years . In 499 , Aryabhata , a mathematician -- astronomer from the classical age of Indian mathematics and astronomy , also used a geocentric model to estimate Jupiter 's period as 4332.2722 days , or 11.86 years . Ground - based telescope Research In 1610 , Galileo Galilei discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter ( now known as the Galilean moons ) using a telescope ; thought to be the first telescopic observation of moons other than Earth 's . One day after Galileo , Simon Marius independently discovered moons around Jupiter , though he did not publish his discovery in a book until 1614 . It was Marius 's names for the four major moons , however , that stuck -- Io , Europa , Ganymede and Callisto . These findings were also the first discovery of celestial motion not apparently centered on Earth . The discovery was a major point in favor of Copernicus ' heliocentric theory of the motions of the planets ; Galileo 's outspoken support of the Copernican theory placed him under the threat of the Inquisition . During the 1660s , Giovanni Cassini used a new telescope to discover spots and colorful bands on Jupiter and observed that the planet appeared oblate ; that is , flattened at the poles . He was also able to estimate the rotation period of the planet . In 1690 Cassini noticed that the atmosphere undergoes differential rotation . The Great Red Spot , a prominent oval - shaped feature in the southern hemisphere of Jupiter , may have been observed as early as 1664 by Robert Hooke and in 1665 by Cassini , although this is disputed . The pharmacist Heinrich Schwabe produced the earliest known drawing to show details of the Great Red Spot in 1831 . The Red Spot was reportedly lost from sight on several occasions between 1665 and 1708 before becoming quite conspicuous in 1878 . It was recorded as fading again in 1883 and at the start of the 20th century . Both Giovanni Borelli and Cassini made careful tables of the motions of Jupiter 's moons , allowing predictions of the times when the moons would pass before or behind the planet . By the 1670s , it was observed that when Jupiter was on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth , these events would occur about 17 minutes later than expected . Ole Rømer deduced that light does not travel instantaneously ( a conclusion that Cassini had earlier rejected ) , and this timing discrepancy was used to estimate the speed of light . In 1892 , E.E. Barnard observed a fifth satellite of Jupiter with the 36 - inch ( 910 mm ) refractor at Lick Observatory in California . The discovery of this relatively small object , a testament to his keen eyesight , quickly made him famous . This moon was later named Amalthea . It was the last planetary moon to be discovered directly by visual observation . Infrared image of Jupiter taken by ESO 's Very Large Telescope In 1932 , Rupert Wildt identified absorption bands of ammonia and methane in the spectra of Jupiter . Three long - lived anticyclonic features termed white ovals were observed in 1938 . For several decades they remained as separate features in the atmosphere , sometimes approaching each other but never merging . Finally , two of the ovals merged in 1998 , then absorbed the third in 2000 , becoming Oval BA . Radiotelescope Research In 1955 , Bernard Burke and Kenneth Franklin detected bursts of radio signals coming from Jupiter at 22.2 MHz . The period of these bursts matched the rotation of the planet , and they were also able to use this information to refine the rotation rate . Radio bursts from Jupiter were found to come in two forms : long bursts ( or L - bursts ) lasting up to several seconds , and short bursts ( or S - bursts ) that had a duration of less than a hundredth of a second . Scientists discovered that there were three forms of radio signals transmitted from Jupiter . Decametric radio bursts ( with a wavelength of tens of meters ) vary with the rotation of Jupiter , and are influenced by interaction of Io with Jupiter 's magnetic field . Decimetric radio emission ( with wavelengths measured in centimeters ) was first observed by Frank Drake and Hein Hvatum in 1959 . The origin of this signal was from a torus - shaped belt around Jupiter 's equator . This signal is caused by cyclotron radiation from electrons that are accelerated in Jupiter 's magnetic field . Thermal radiation is produced by heat in the atmosphere of Jupiter . Exploration Main article : Exploration of Jupiter Since 1973 a number of automated spacecraft have visited Jupiter , most notably the Pioneer 10 space probe , the first spacecraft to get close enough to Jupiter to send back revelations about the properties and phenomena of the Solar System 's largest planet . Flights to other planets within the Solar System are accomplished at a cost in energy , which is described by the net change in velocity of the spacecraft , or delta - v. Entering a Hohmann transfer orbit from Earth to Jupiter from low Earth orbit requires a delta - v of 6.3 km / s which is comparable to the 9.7 km / s delta - v needed to reach low Earth orbit . Fortunately , gravity assists through planetary flybys can be used to reduce the energy required to reach Jupiter , albeit at the cost of a significantly longer flight duration . Flyby missions Perijove 6 pass of Jupiter as viewed by JunoCam Flyby missions Spacecraft Closest approach Distance Pioneer 10 December 3 , 1973 130,000 km Pioneer 11 December 4 , 1974 34,000 km Voyager 1 March 5 , 1979 349,000 km Voyager 2 July 9 , 1979 570,000 km Ulysses February 8 , 1992 408,894 km February 4 , 2004 120,000,000 km Cassini December 30 , 2000 10,000,000 km New Horizons February 28 , 2007 2,304,535 km Beginning in 1973 , several spacecraft have performed planetary flyby maneuvers that brought them within observation range of Jupiter . The Pioneer missions obtained the first close - up images of Jupiter 's atmosphere and several of its moons . They discovered that the radiation fields near the planet were much stronger than expected , but both spacecraft managed to survive in that environment . The trajectories of these spacecraft were used to refine the mass estimates of the Jovian system . Radio occultations by the planet resulted in better measurements of Jupiter 's diameter and the amount of polar flattening . Six years later , the Voyager missions vastly improved the understanding of the Galilean moons and discovered Jupiter 's rings . They also confirmed that the Great Red Spot was anticyclonic . Comparison of images showed that the Red Spot had changed hue since the Pioneer missions , turning from orange to dark brown . A torus of ionized atoms was discovered along Io 's orbital path , and volcanoes were found on the moon 's surface , some in the process of erupting . As the spacecraft passed behind the planet , it observed flashes of lightning in the night side atmosphere . The next mission to encounter Jupiter was the Ulysses solar probe . It performed a flyby maneuver to attain a polar orbit around the Sun . During this pass , the spacecraft conducted studies on Jupiter 's magnetosphere . Ulysses has no cameras so no images were taken . A second flyby six years later was at a much greater distance . Cassini views Jupiter and Io on January 1 , 2001 In 2000 , the Cassini probe flew by Jupiter on its way to Saturn , and provided some of the highest - resolution images ever made of the planet . The New Horizons probe flew by Jupiter for a gravity assist en route to Pluto . Its closest approach was on February 28 , 2007 . The probe 's cameras measured plasma output from volcanoes on Io and studied all four Galilean moons in detail , as well as making long - distance observations of the outer moons Himalia and Elara . Imaging of the Jovian system began September 4 , 2006 . Galileo mission Main article : Galileo ( spacecraft ) Jupiter as seen by the space probe Cassini The first spacecraft to orbit Jupiter was the Galileo probe , which entered orbit on December 7 , 1995 . It orbited the planet for over seven years , conducting multiple flybys of all the Galilean moons and Amalthea . The spacecraft also witnessed the impact of Comet Shoemaker -- Levy 9 as it approached Jupiter in 1994 , giving a unique vantage point for the event . Its originally designed capacity was limited by the failed deployment of its high - gain radio antenna , although extensive information was still gained about the Jovian system from Galileo . A 340 - kilogram titanium atmospheric probe was released from the spacecraft in July 1995 , entering Jupiter 's atmosphere on December 7 . It parachuted through 150 km ( 93 mi ) of the atmosphere at a speed of about 2,575 km / h ( 1600 mph ) and collected data for 57.6 minutes before it was crushed by the pressure of about 23 atmospheres at a temperature of 153 ° C. It melted thereafter , and possibly vaporized . The Galileo orbiter itself experienced a more rapid version of the same fate when it was deliberately steered into the planet on September 21 , 2003 at a speed of over 50 km / s to avoid any possibility of it crashing into and possibly contaminating Europa , a moon which has been hypothesized to have the possibility of harboring life . Data from this mission revealed that hydrogen composes up to 90 % of Jupiter 's atmosphere . The recorded temperature was more than 300 ° C ( > 570 ° F ) and the windspeed measured more than 644 km / h ( > 400 mph ) before the probes vapourised . Juno mission Main article : Juno ( spacecraft ) NASA 's Juno mission arrived at Jupiter on July 4 , 2016 , and is expected to complete 37 orbits over the next 20 months . The mission plan called for Juno to study the planet in detail from a polar orbit . On August 27 , 2016 , the spacecraft completed its first fly - by of Jupiter and sent back the first - ever images of Jupiter 's north pole . Future probes The next planned mission to the Jovian system will be the European Space Agency 's Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer ( JUICE ) , due to launch in 2022 , followed by NASA 's Europa Clipper mission in 2025 . Canceled missions There has been great interest in studying the icy moons in detail because of the possibility of subsurface liquid oceans on Jupiter 's moons Europa , Ganymede , and Callisto . Funding difficulties have delayed progress . NASA 's JIMO ( Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter ) was cancelled in 2005 . A subsequent proposal was developed for a joint NASA / ESA mission called EJSM / Laplace , with a provisional launch date around 2020 . EJSM / Laplace would have consisted of the NASA - led Jupiter Europa Orbiter and the ESA - led Jupiter Ganymede Orbiter . However , ESA had formally ended the partnership by April 2011 , citing budget issues at NASA and the consequences on the mission timetable . Instead , ESA planned to go ahead with a European - only mission to compete in its L1 Cosmic Vision selection . Moons Wikimedia Commons has media related to Moons of Jupiter . Main article : Moons of Jupiter See also : Timeline of discovery of Solar System planets and their moons Jupiter has 69 known natural satellites . Of these , 53 are less than 10 kilometres in diameter and have only been discovered since 1975 . The four largest moons , visible from Earth with binoculars on a clear night , known as the `` Galilean moons '' , are Io , Europa , Ganymede , and Callisto . Galilean moons Main article : Galilean moons The moons discovered by Galileo -- Io , Europa , Ganymede , and Callisto -- are among the largest satellites in the Solar System . The orbits of three of them ( Io , Europa , and Ganymede ) form a pattern known as a Laplace resonance ; for every four orbits that Io makes around Jupiter , Europa makes exactly two orbits and Ganymede makes exactly one . This resonance causes the gravitational effects of the three large moons to distort their orbits into elliptical shapes , because each moon receives an extra tug from its neighbors at the same point in every orbit it makes . The tidal force from Jupiter , on the other hand , works to circularize their orbits . The eccentricity of their orbits causes regular flexing of the three moons ' shapes , with Jupiter 's gravity stretching them out as they approach it and allowing them to spring back to more spherical shapes as they swing away . This tidal flexing heats the moons ' interiors by friction . This is seen most dramatically in the extraordinary volcanic activity of innermost Io ( which is subject to the strongest tidal forces ) , and to a lesser degree in the geological youth of Europa 's surface ( indicating recent resurfacing of the moon 's exterior ) .

Since then , the large number of new small outer moons has complicated this picture . There are now thought to be six main groups , although some are more distinct than others . A basic sub-division is a grouping of the eight inner regular moons , which have nearly circular orbits near the plane of Jupiter 's equator and are thought to have formed with Jupiter . The remainder of the moons consist of an unknown number of small irregular moons with elliptical and inclined orbits , which are thought to be captured asteroids or fragments of captured asteroids . Irregular moons that belong to a group share similar orbital elements and thus may have a common origin , perhaps as a larger moon or captured body that broke up . Regular moons Inner group The inner group of four small moons all have diameters of less than 200 km , orbit at radii less than 200,000 km , and have orbital inclinations of less than half a degree . Galilean moons These four moons , discovered by Galileo Galilei and by Simon Marius in parallel , orbit between 400,000 and 2,000,000 km , and are some of the largest moons in the Solar System . Irregular moons Themisto This is a single moon belonging to a group of its own , orbiting halfway between the Galilean moons and the Himalia group . Himalia group A tightly clustered group of moons with orbits around 11,000,000 -- 12,000,000 km from Jupiter . Carpo Another isolated case ; at the inner edge of the Ananke group , it orbits Jupiter in prograde direction . Ananke group This retrograde orbit group has rather indistinct borders , averaging 21,276,000 km from Jupiter with an average inclination of 149 degrees . Carme group A fairly distinct retrograde group that averages 23,404,000 km from Jupiter with an average inclination of 165 degrees . Pasiphae group A dispersed and only vaguely distinct retrograde group that covers all the outermost moons . Planetary rings The rings of Jupiter Main article : Rings of Jupiter Jupiter has a faint planetary ring system composed of three main segments : an inner torus of particles known as the halo , a relatively bright main ring , and an outer gossamer ring . These rings appear to be made of dust , rather than ice as with Saturn 's rings . The main ring is probably made of material ejected from the satellites Adrastea and Metis . Material that would normally fall back to the moon is pulled into Jupiter because of its strong gravitational influence . The orbit of the material veers towards Jupiter and new material is added by additional impacts . In a similar way , the moons Thebe and Amalthea probably produce the two distinct components of the dusty gossamer ring . There is also evidence of a rocky ring strung along Amalthea 's orbit which may consist of collisional debris from that moon . Interaction with the Solar System Along with the Sun , the gravitational influence of Jupiter has helped shape the Solar System . The orbits of most of the system 's planets lie closer to Jupiter 's orbital plane than the Sun 's equatorial plane ( Mercury is the only planet that is closer to the Sun 's equator in orbital tilt ) , the Kirkwood gaps in the asteroid belt are mostly caused by Jupiter , and the planet may have been responsible for the Late Heavy Bombardment of the inner Solar System 's history . This diagram shows the Trojan asteroids in Jupiter 's orbit , as well as the main asteroid belt . Along with its moons , Jupiter 's gravitational field controls numerous asteroids that have settled into the regions of the Lagrangian points preceding and following Jupiter in its orbit around the Sun . These are known as the Trojan asteroids , and are divided into Greek and Trojan `` camps '' to commemorate the Iliad . The first of these , 588 Achilles , was discovered by Max Wolf in 1906 ; since then more than two thousand have been discovered . The largest is 624 Hektor . Most short - period comets belong to the Jupiter family -- defined as comets with semi-major axes smaller than Jupiter 's . Jupiter family comets are thought to form in the Kuiper belt outside the orbit of Neptune . During close encounters with Jupiter their orbits are perturbed into a smaller period and then circularized by regular gravitational interaction with the Sun and Jupiter . Due to the magnitude of Jupiter 's mass , the center of gravity between it and the Sun lies just above the Sun 's surface . Jupiter is the only body in the Solar System for which this is true . Impacts See also : Comet Shoemaker -- Levy 9 , 2009 Jupiter impact event , and 2010 Jupiter impact event Hubble image taken on July 23 , 2009 , showing a blemish of about 8,000 km ( 5,000 mi ) long left by the 2009 Jupiter impact . Jupiter has been called the Solar System 's vacuum cleaner , because of its immense gravity well and location near the inner Solar System . It receives the most frequent comet impacts of the Solar System 's planets . It was thought that the planet served to partially shield the inner system from cometary bombardment . However , recent computer simulations suggest that Jupiter does not cause a net decrease in the number of comets that pass through the inner Solar System , as its gravity perturbs their orbits inward roughly as often as it accretes or ejects them . This topic remains controversial among scientists , as some think it draws comets towards Earth from the Kuiper belt while others think that Jupiter protects Earth from the alleged Oort cloud . Jupiter experiences about 200 times more asteroid and comet impacts than Earth . A 1997 survey of early astronomical records and drawings suggested that a certain dark surface feature discovered by astronomer Giovanni Cassini in 1690 may have been an impact scar . The survey initially produced eight more candidate sites as potential impact observations that he and others had recorded between 1664 and 1839 . It was later determined , however , that these candidate sites had little or no possibility of being the results of the proposed impacts . More recent discoveries include the following : A fireball was photographed by Voyager 1 during its Jupiter encounter in March 1979 . During the period July 16 , 1994 , to July 22 , 1994 , over 20 fragments from the comet Shoemaker -- Levy 9 ( SL9 , formally designated D / 1993 F2 ) collided with Jupiter 's southern hemisphere , providing the first direct observation of a collision between two Solar System objects . This impact provided useful data on the composition of Jupiter 's atmosphere . On July 19 , 2009 , an impact site was discovered at approximately 216 degrees longitude in System 2 . This impact left behind a black spot in Jupiter 's atmosphere , similar in size to Oval BA . Infrared observation showed a bright spot where the impact took place , meaning the impact warmed up the lower atmosphere in the area near Jupiter 's south pole . A fireball , smaller than the previous observed impacts , was detected on June 3 , 2010 , by Anthony Wesley , an amateur astronomer in Australia , and was later discovered to have been captured on video by another amateur astronomer in the Philippines . Yet another fireball was seen on August 20 , 2010 . On September 10 , 2012 , another fireball was detected . On March 17 , 2016 an asteroid or comet struck and was filmed on video . Mythology Jupiter , woodcut from a 1550 edition of Guido Bonatti 's Liber Astronomiae The planet Jupiter has been known since ancient times . It is visible to the naked eye in the night sky and can occasionally be seen in the daytime when the Sun is low . To the Babylonians , this object represented their god Marduk . They used Jupiter 's roughly 12 - year orbit along the ecliptic to define the constellations of their zodiac . The Romans named it after Jupiter ( Latin : Iuppiter , Iūpiter ) ( also called Jove ) , the principal god of Roman mythology , whose name comes from the Proto - Indo - European vocative compound * Dyēu - pəter ( nominative : * Dyēus - pətēr , meaning `` Father Sky - God '' , or `` Father Day - God '' ) . In turn , Jupiter was the counterpart to the mythical Greek Zeus ( Ζεύς ) , also referred to as Dias ( Δίας ) , the planetary name of which is retained in modern Greek . The astronomical symbol for the planet , , is a stylized representation of the god 's lightning bolt . The original Greek deity Zeus supplies the root zeno - , used to form some Jupiter - related words , such as zenographic . Jovian is the adjectival form of Jupiter . The older adjectival form jovial , employed by astrologers in the Middle Ages , has come to mean `` happy '' or `` merry '' , moods ascribed to Jupiter 's astrological influence . The Chinese , Koreans and Japanese called it the `` wood star '' ( Chinese : 木星 ; pinyin : mùxīng ) , based on the Chinese Five Elements . Chinese Taoism personified it as the Fu star . The Greeks called it Φαέθων ( Phaethon , meaning `` blazing '' ) . In Vedic astrology , Hindu astrologers named the planet after Brihaspati , the religious teacher of the gods , and often called it `` Guru '' , which literally means the `` Heavy One '' . In Germanic mythology , Jupiter is equated to Thor , whence the English name Thursday for the Roman dies Jovis . In the Central Asian - Turkic myths , Jupiter is called Erendiz or Erentüz , from eren ( of uncertain meaning ) and yultuz ( `` star '' ) . There are many theories about the meaning of eren . These peoples calculated the period of the orbit of Jupiter as 11 years and 300 days . They believed that some social and natural events connected to Erentüz 's movements on the sky .

With a production budget of $300 million , Pirates of the Caribbean : At World 's End was the most expensive film ever made at the time of its release , even after adjusting for inflation . Walt Disney Pictures released the film in the United States on May 25 , 2007 . Critical reviews were mixed ; the film was praised for its performances , musical score , action scenes , and special effects , but was criticized for its plot and running time . At World 's End was a box office hit , becoming the most successful film of 2007 , with over $960 million worldwide . It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling and the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects , which it lost to La Vie en Rose and The Golden Compass , respectively . A sequel , On Stranger Tides , the first in the series to neither be directed by Verbinski nor star Bloom and Knightley , was released in cinemas on May 20 , 2011 .

Condemned prisoners sing `` Hoist the Colours '' to compel the nine Pirate Lords to convene at Shipwreck Cove to hold the Brethren Court . Because Captain Jack Sparrow , Pirate Lord of the Caribbean Sea , never named a successor before being killed , Captain Barbossa , Will Turner , Elizabeth Swann , Tia Dalma , and the crew of the Black Pearl plot to rescue Jack from Davy Jones ' Locker . Traveling to Singapore , the crew meet Captain Sao Feng ( Pirate Lord of the South China Sea ) , who owns navigational charts to the Locker . Beckett 's soldiers invade , but the crew escape . Will secretly promises to give Jack to Feng in return for the Pearl , which he will use to rescue his father Bootstrap Bill Turner from the Flying Dutchman . The crew travels to the Locker and rescues Jack . The crew encounters many dead souls , including Elizabeth 's father Governor Swann , who was executed by Beckett . Tia Dalma reveals that the Goddess Calypso charged Davy Jones with the job to guide the souls of those who died at sea to the next world . Once every ten years he could come ashore to be with the woman he loved . But he corrupted his purpose and was cursed to become a monster . The soul of Governor Swann reveals that the Dutchman must always have a captain . Returning to the living world , the Pearl stops at an island for fresh water , where the crew find the Kraken lying dead on the beach , having been killed by Jones under orders from Beckett . They are then attacked by Sao Feng and Beckett 's men . Through a complex series of deals , Elizabeth is handed over to Feng , who believes she is the goddess Calypso , while the rest of the crew make for Shipwreck Cove aboard the Pearl . Jack throws Will off the ship as part of the plan to seize control of the Dutchman . Sao Feng tells Elizabeth that the first Brethren Court bound Calypso in human form after she betrayed her lover , Davy Jones . He plans to release her to defeat Beckett . Davy Jones attacks Feng 's ship , the Empress , mortally wounding Feng in the process . Feng appoints Elizabeth his successor as Pirate Lord before dying . Elizabeth and the crew are locked in the brig of the Dutchman , where she finds a partially insane Bootstrap Bill Turner . In a moment of clarity , Bootstrap reveals that whoever kills Davy Jones must take his place , bound to serve the Dutchman forever . He reiterates that `` the Dutchman must always have a captain . '' Admiral Norrington frees Elizabeth and her new crew from the Dutchman , but is killed by Bootstrap Bill . The Black Pearl arrives at Shipwreck Cove , where Barbossa attempts to persuade the Brethren Court to release Calypso . Davy Jones visits Tia Dalma in the Pearl 's brig , revealing she is Calypso . Jack 's father Captain Teague , Keeper of the Pirate Code , informs the Court that only an elected Pirate King can decide on going into battle . A vote is taken . To avoid a stalemate , Jack casts his vote for Elizabeth , making her King . The Brethren Court and Beckett 's fleets emerge for war . On a sandbank , Elizabeth , Jack , Barbossa , Beckett , Jones , and Will parley , trading Will for Jack . Barbossa steals Jack 's piece of eight , all of which are owned by the Pirate Lords and required to free Calypso . Barbossa frees Calypso , but when Will reveals it was Jones who betrayed her and made it possible for the first Court to imprison her , Calypso vanishes and summons an enormous maelstrom . The Pearl and the Dutchman battle in the maelstrom . Elizabeth and Will are wed by Barbossa . On board the Dutchman , Jones and Jack engage in a duel for control of Davy Jones 's heart . Jones stabs Will , mortally wounding him . Jack gives up his chance for immortality and instead helps Will stab the heart . Jones falls into the maelstrom . Jack and Elizabeth escape the Dutchman as it is sucked into the maelstrom . As Beckett 's ship , the Endeavour , approaches to destroy the Pearl , the Dutchman rises from the sea , now captained by Will ; the crew has been freed from Jones 's curse . Together , the two pirate ships destroy the Endeavour . A stunned Beckett goes down with his ship while his navy retreats . With Will now forever bound to escort souls lost at sea to the next world , he and Elizabeth bid farewell to each other on the beach of an abandoned island . Will departs on the Dutchman , leaving Elizabeth pregnant and with the chest containing his heart . Jack and Joshamee Gibbs discover Barbossa has stolen the Black Pearl again , but Jack planned ahead and stole Sao Feng 's navigational charts . He departs from Tortuga alone to track down the mythical Fountain of Youth . In a post-credits scene , set ten years later , Elizabeth and her son Henry watch from a sea cliff as Will returns aboard the Dutchman . Cast ( edit ) Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow : Sparrow and the Black Pearl have been dragged to Davy Jones 's Locker by the Kraken ; he is trapped there until his former crew mounts a rescue party . Geoffrey Rush as Captain Hector Barbossa : Once first mate of the Black Pearl under Jack 's command before leading a mutiny , Barbossa has been resurrected by Tia Dalma to captain the rescue of Jack Sparrow . He was also needed for his `` piece of eight '' to free Calypso . Rush said that in the film , Barbossa becomes more of a cunning politician . Depp said he was pleased he got more screentime with Rush than in the first film : `` We 're like a couple of old ladies fighting over their knitting needles '' . Orlando Bloom as William `` Will '' Turner Jr. : A young blacksmith - turned - pirate , the son of `` Bootstrap Bill '' Turner , and later the husband of Elizabeth Swann . Turner becomes Captain of The Flying Dutchman after the ritual is performed to save his life . Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Swann : Governor Swann 's daughter and Will Turner 's fiancée . Having tricked Jack Sparrow into being swallowed by the Kraken to save herself and the Black Pearl crew , she subsequently goes to his rescue . Swann becomes Captain of The Empress and Pirate Lord of the South China Seas as successor to Feng , and becomes the Pirate King by default as a result of the Bretheren Court vote . Jack Davenport as James Norrington : Promoted to the rank of admiral in return for giving Beckett Jones 's heart , he has allied himself with Beckett and the Company , although he still cares for Elizabeth , his former fiancée , and finds himself torn between his duty and his growing dislike for Beckett . Bill Nighy as Davy Jones : Malevolent ruler of the ocean realm , Captain of The Flying Dutchman . With his heart captured by James Norrington , he is now enslaved to Cutler Beckett who commanded him to kill the Kraken ( `` your pet '' ) , and now serves the East India Trading Company , though he remains volatile and makes life difficult for the marines policing him . Jonathan Pryce as Weatherby Swann : Governor of Port Royal and father to Elizabeth Swann , he is now trapped in Beckett 's service .

Stellan Skarsgård as William `` Bootstrap Bill '' Turner Sr. : Will 's father , cursed to serve an eternity aboard Davy Jones 's ship The Flying Dutchman . As he slowly loses hope , he also loses his humanity to the ship , and becomes mentally confused , barely recognizing his own son in the second half of the film . Chow Yun - fat as Sao Feng : Pirate Lord of the South China Sea , he captains the Chinese ship The Empress and has a poor history with Sparrow . He is reluctant to aid in his rescue from Davy Jones 's Locker . `` Sao Feng '' ( 嘯 風 ) means `` Howling Wind '' in Chinese . Chow was confirmed to be playing Feng in July 2005 while production of the second film was on hiatus . Chow relished playing the role , even helping out crew members with props . Tom Hollander as Cutler Beckett : A powerful chairman of the East India Trading Co. and now armed with a mandate from the King and in possession of Davy Jones 's heart , Beckett attempts to control the world 's oceans for the sake of sustainable business - and with it , the end of piracy .

David Schofield as Mr. Mercer : Lord Beckett 's henchman , assigned to hold Davy Jones 's leash aboard the Dutchman . Keith Richards as Edward Teague : Keeper of the Pirata Codex for the Brethren Court and Jack Sparrow 's father . The other pirate lords are visibly terrified of him . Richards , who partially inspired Depp 's portrayal of Sparrow , was meant to appear in Dead Man 's Chest , but there was no room for him in the story , as well as his being tied up with a Rolling Stones tour . He almost missed filming a scene in At World 's End , following injuries sustained by falling out of a tree . In June 2006 , Verbinski finally managed to make room in Richards ' schedule to shoot that September . Greg Ellis as Lieutenant Theodore Groves : second - in - command to Lord Beckett . Lauren Maher and Vanessa Branch as Scarlett and Giselle Angus Barnett and Giles New as Mullroy and Murtogg Reggie Lee as Tai Huang Dominic Scott Kay as Young Henry Turner : the son of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann . Scott Kay was credited as Young William Turner , and was retroactively named Young Henry Turner following the release of Dead Men Tell No Tales . Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) See also : Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Man 's Chest -- Production `` I felt it important that the third film was the end of an era -- like in a postmodern western where the railroad comes and the gunfighter is extinct . It seemed that we had an opportunity to take a look at a world where the legitimate has become corrupt and there is no place for honest thieves in that society , so you have darker issues and a little melancholy . The myths are dying . That seemed a great theme with which to complete the trilogy . '' -- Gore Verbinski Following The Curse of the Black Pearl 's success in 2003 , the cast and crew signed on for two sequels to be shot back - to - back . For the third film , director Gore Verbinski wanted to return the tone to that of a character piece after using the second film to keep the plot moving . Inspired by the real - life confederation of pirates , Elliott and Rossio looked at historical figures and created fictional characters from them to expand the scope beyond the main cast . Finally embellishing their mythology , Calypso was introduced , going full circle to Barbossa 's mention of `` heathen gods '' that created the curse in the first film . Filming ( edit ) Parts of the third film were shot during location filming of Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Man 's Chest , a long shoot which finished on March 1 , 2006 . During August 2005 , the Singapore sequence was shot . The set was built on Stage 12 of the Universal Studios backlot , and comprised 40 structures within an 80 by 130 - foot ( 24 by 40 - m ) tank that was 3 ⁄ feet ( 1.1 m ) deep . As 18th century Singapore is not a well - documented era , the filmmakers chose to use an Expressionist style based on Chinese and Malaysian cities of the same period . The design of the city was also intended by Verbinski to parody spa culture , with fungi growing throughout the set . Continuing this natural feel , the floorboards of Sao Feng 's bathhouse had to be cut by hand , and real humidity was created by the combination of gallons of water and the lighting equipment on the set . Filming resumed on August 3 , 2006 at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah for 70 days off the California coast , as all the shooting required in the Caribbean had been conducted in 2005 . Davy Jones 's Locker was shot at Utah , and it was shot in a monochromatic way to represent its different feeling from the usual colorful environment of a pirate . The climactic battle was shot in a former air hangar at Palmdale , California , where the cast had to wear wetsuits underneath their costumes on angle - tipped ships . The water - drenched set was kept in freezing temperatures , to make sure bacteria did not come inside and infect the crew . A second unit shot at Niagara Falls . Industrial Light & Magic did 750 effects shots , while Digital Domain also took on 300 . They spent just five months finishing the special effects . The film posed numerous challenges in creating water - based effects . Filming finished on December 12 , 2006 in Molokai , and the first assembly cut was three hours . Twenty minutes were removed , not including end credits , though producer Jerry Bruckheimer maintained that the long running time was needed to make the final battle work in terms of build - up . Music ( edit ) Hans Zimmer composed the score , as he did for the previous films , composing eight new motifs , including a new love theme for the At World 's End soundtrack . He scored scenes as the editors began work , so as to influence their choice of cutting to the music . Gore Verbinski helped on the score . He played the Ennio Morricone - influenced guitar music in the parley scene between Barbossa , Sparrow , Elizabeth and Will , Davy Jones , and Cutler Beckett . He also co-wrote the song `` Hoist the Colours '' with Zimmer . Release ( edit ) Keith Richards , who plays Jack 's father Captain Teague , at the premiere . The world premiere of At World 's End was held on May 19 , 2007 at Disneyland , home of the ride that inspired the film and where the first two films in the trilogy debuted . Disneyland offered the general public a chance to attend the premiere through the sale of tickets , priced at $1,500 per ticket , with proceeds going to the Make - a-Wish Foundation charity . Just a few weeks before the film 's release , Walt Disney Pictures decided to move the United States opening of At World 's End from screenings Friday , May 25 , 2007 to Thursday at 8 PM , May 24 , 2007 . The film opened in 4,362 theaters domestically , beating Spider - Man 3 's theater opening record by 110 ( this record was surpassed by The Dark Knight the following year ) . Marketing ( edit ) After a muted publicity campaign , the trailer finally debuted at ShoWest 2007 . It was shown on March 18 , 2007 at a special screening of Pirates of the Caribbean : The Curse of the Black Pearl named `` Pirates Ultimate Fan Event '' , and was then shown on March 19 during Dancing with the Stars , before it debuted online . Action figures by NECA were released in late April . Board games such as a Collector 's Edition Chess Set , a Monopoly Game , and a Pirates Dice Game ( Liar 's dice ) were also released . Master Replicas made sculptures of characters and replicas of jewellery and the Dead Man 's Chest . A video game with the same title as the film was released on May 22 , 2007 on Xbox 360 , PlayStation 3 , Wii , PSP , PlayStation 2 , PC , and Nintendo DS formats . The soundtrack and its remix were also released on May 22 . Censorship ( edit ) At least one nation 's official censors ordered scenes cut from the film . According to Xinhua , the state news agency of the People 's Republic of China , ten minutes of footage containing Chow Yun - fat 's portrayal of Singaporean pirate Sao Feng were trimmed from versions of the film which may be shown in China . Chow is onscreen for twenty minutes in the uncensored theatrical release of the film . No official reason for the censorship was given , but unofficial sources within China have indicated that the character gave a negative and stereotypical portrayal of Chinese people . Home Media ( edit ) The film was released on DVD and Blu - Ray on November 19 , 2007 in the UK and December 4 , 2007 in the United States and Canada . The 2 - Disc Limited Edition DVD was in continuous circulation until it stopped on September 30 , 2008 . In contrast , the Blu - ray Disc release , containing all of the features from the 2 - Disc DVD version ( including some original scenes from the theatrical release , but excluding the writer 's commentary ) is still widely available . The initial Blu - ray Disc release was misprinted on the back of the box as 1080i , although Disney confirmed it to be 1080p . Disney decided not to recall the misprinted units , but to fix the error on subsequent printings . DVD sales brought in $296,043,871 in revenue , marking the best - selling DVD of 2007 , although it ranks second in terms of units sold ( 14,505,271 ) behind Transformers ( 16,234,195 ) . At World 's End had its television premiere in the UK on Boxing Day 2009 on BBC One at 19 : 30 , and was watched by 6.06 million viewers . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) On review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 45 % based on 220 reviews , with an average rating of 5.4 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` POTC : AWE provides the thrilling action scenes , but mixes in too many characters with too many incomprehensible plot threads . '' At Metacritic , which assigns a weighted average rating to reviews , the film received an average score of 50 out of 100 , based on 36 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A -- '' on an A+ to F scale . Reviewer Alex Billington noted , `` This is just how the film industry works nowadays ; critics give bad opinions , the public usually has a differing opinion , and all is well in the world of Hollywood since the studios made their millions anyway . '' Drew McWeeny praised the film 's complexity as giving it repeat - viewing value , and its conclusion as `` perhaps the most canny move it makes . '' Todd Gilchrist found the story too similar to other cinematic trilogies such as Star Wars , but praised the production values . Brian Lowry felt that `` unlike last year 's bloated sequel , it at least possesses some semblance of a destination , making it slightly more coherent - if no less numbing during the protracted finale . '' Total Film praised the performances but complained that the twists and exposition made it hard to care for the characters . Edward Douglas liked the film but had issues with its pacing , while Blake Wright criticized the Davy Jones 's Locker and Calypso segments . James Berardinelli found it the weakest of the trilogy as `` the last hour offers adventure as rousing as anything provided in either of the previous installments ... which does n't account for the other 108 minutes of this gorged , self - indulgent , and uneven production . '' Peter Travers praised Richards and Rush but felt `` there can indeed be too much of a good thing , '' regarding Depp 's character . Travers later declared the movie to be one of the worst films of the year . Colm Andrew of the Manx Independent said the film was overall a disappointment and that `` the final showdown ... is a non-event and the repetitive swordplay and inane plot contrivances simply become boring by the end '' . Richard Roeper gave a positive review , saying `` Gore Verbinski and the stunt and special effects crews have created one of the most impressive blends of live - action work and CGI wizardry ever put on film , '' and believing it `` rarely drags and is almost always entertaining . '' He praised the performances of the actors as one of the best things about the film . Chow Yun - fat 's character stirred a great deal of controversy with the Chinese press . Perry Lam , of Hong Kong cultural magazine , Muse , found an offensive resemblance between Chow 's character and Fu Manchu : `` Now Fu Manchu has returned after an absence of 27 years in the Hollywood cinema ; except that , in a nod to political correctness and marketing realities , he is no longer called Fu Manchu . '' Box Office ( edit ) Pirates of the Caribbean : At World 's End earned $309,420,425 in North America and $654,000,000 in other countries , for a worldwide total of $963,420,425 . Worldwide , it is the thirty - eighth - highest - grossing film , the highest - grossing film of 2007 , and the third - highest - grossing film in the Pirates of the Caribbean series . Compared to its predecessor , it grossed far less at the North American box office , but more outside North America . Still , its worldwide earnings are more than $100 million below Dead Man 's Chest 's . During its worldwide opening weekend , it grossed $344.0 million , making it the seventh - largest opening . North America At World 's End was released in a then - record 4,362 theaters in North America , and was shown on around 11,500 screens , which is still an all - time record . On its first three - day weekend , it earned $114,732,820 . It set a Memorial Day 4 - day weekend record ( $139,802,190 ) , which it still retains . This record was previously held by X-Men : The Last Stand . Including Thursday night previews , as well , At World 's End earned $153,042,234 in 5 days , and is the fourth - highest - grossing film of 2007 . Among May 's Big Three ( Spider - Man 3 , Shrek 3 and Pirates 3 ) , Pirates 3 grossed the least both during its opening weekend and in total earnings . However , this was mainly attributed to the fact that it was released third , after the other two films , so there was already too much competition . It is also the second - highest - grossing film in the Pirates series . Outside North America It is the eighteenth - highest - grossing film , the sixth - largest film distributed by Disney , and the second - highest - grossing Pirates of the Caribbean film . During its opening weekend , it grossed an estimated $216.0 million , which stands as the sixth biggest opening outside North America . It set opening - weekend records in South Korea with $16.7 million ( surpassed by Transformers : Dark of the Moon ) , Russia , and the CIS with $14.0 million ( first surpassed by Samy luchshiy film ) , and Spain with $11.9 million ( surpassed by The Impossible ) . It dominated for three consecutive weekends at the box office outside North America . By June 12 , 2007 , its 20th day of release , the film had grossed $500 million , breaking Spider - Man 3 's record for reaching that amount the fastest . This record was first overtaken by Avatar ( 15 days to $500 million ) . Its highest - grossing countries after North America are Japan , where it earned $91.1 million , and became the last Hollywood film to earn more than 10 billion yen before Avatar , and the UK , Ireland , Malta ( $81.4 million ) , and Germany ( $59.4 million ) .

why did the panic of 1837 in the united states have an effect on texas | [
""
] | https://en.wikipedia.org//w/index.php?title=Panic_of_1837&oldid=834552396 | Panic of 1837 - wikipedia Panic of 1837 Jump to : navigation , search Whig cartoon showing the effects of unemployment on a family that has portraits of Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren on the wall The Panic of 1837 was a financial crisis in the United States that touched off a major recession that lasted until the mid-1840s . Profits , prices , and wages went down while unemployment went up . Pessimism abounded during the time . The panic had both domestic and foreign origins . Speculative lending practices in western states , a sharp decline in cotton prices , a collapsing land bubble , international specie flows , and restrictive lending policies in Great Britain were all to blame . On May 10 , 1837 , banks in New York City suspended specie payments , meaning that they would no longer redeem commercial paper in specie at full face value . Despite a brief recovery in 1838 , the recession persisted for approximately seven years . Banks collapsed , businesses failed , prices declined , and thousands of workers lost their jobs . Unemployment may have been as high as 25 % in some locales . The years 1837 to 1844 were , generally speaking , years of deflation in wages and prices . Contents ( hide ) 1 Causes 2 Effects and aftermath 3 See also 4 References 5 Further reading 6 External links Causes ( edit ) The crisis followed a period of economic expansion from mid-1834 to mid-1836 . The prices of land , cotton , and slaves rose sharply in these years . The origins of this boom had many sources , both domestic and international . Because of the peculiar factors ( Specie Circular ) of international trade at the time , abundant amounts of silver were coming into the United States from Mexico and China . Land sales and tariffs on imports were also generating substantial federal revenues . Through lucrative cotton exports and the marketing of state - backed bonds in British money markets , the United States acquired significant capital investment from Great Britain . These bonds financed transportation projects in the United States . British loans , made available through Anglo - American banking houses like Baring Brothers , fueled much of the United States 's westward expansion , infrastructure improvements , industrial expansion , and economic development during the antebellum era . In 1836 , directors of the Bank of England noticed that the Bank 's monetary reserves had declined precipitously in recent years , possibly because of poor wheat harvests that forced Great Britain to import much of its food . To compensate , the directors indicated that they would gradually raise interest rates from 3 to 5 percent . Conventional financial theory held that banks should raise interest rates and curb lending when faced with low monetary reserves . Raising interest rates , according to the laws of supply and demand , was supposed to attract specie since money generally flows where it will generate the greatest return ( assuming equal risk among possible investments ) . In the open economy of the 1830s , characterized by free trade and relatively weak trade barriers , the monetary policies of the hegemonic power -- in this case , Great Britain -- were transmitted to the rest of the interconnected global economic system , included the U.S. The result was that as the Bank of England raised interest rates , major banks in the United States were forced to do the same . An 1837 caricature blames Andrew Jackson for hard times When New York banks raised interest rates and scaled back on lending , the effects were damaging . Since the price of a bond bears an inverse relationship to the yield ( or interest rate ) , the increase in prevailing interest rates would have forced down the price of American securities . Importantly , demand for cotton plummeted . The price of cotton fell by 25 % in February and March 1837 . The United States economy , especially in the southern states , was heavily dependent on stable cotton prices . Receipts from cotton sales provided funding for some schools , balanced the nation 's trade deficit , fortified the US dollar , and procured foreign exchange earnings in British pound sterling , the world 's reserve currency at the time . Since the United States was still a predominantly agricultural economy centered on the export of staple crops and an incipient manufacturing sector , a collapse in cotton prices would have caused massive reverberations . Within the United States , there were several contributing factors . In July 1832 , President Andrew Jackson vetoed the bill to recharter the Second Bank of the United States ( BUS ) , the nation 's central bank and fiscal agent . As the BUS wound up its operations in the next four years , state - chartered banks in the West and South relaxed their lending standards , maintaining unsafe reserve ratios . Two domestic policies , in particular , exacerbated an already volatile situation . The Specie Circular of 1836 mandated that western lands could be purchased only with gold and silver coin . The circular was an executive order issued by Andrew Jackson , and favored by Senator Thomas Hart Benton of Missouri and other hard - money advocates . The intent was to curb speculation in public lands , but the circular set off a real estate and commodity price crash as most buyers were unable to come up with sufficient hard money or `` specie '' ( gold or silver coins ) to pay for the land . Secondly , the Deposit and Distribution Act of 1836 placed federal revenues in various local banks ( derisively termed `` pet banks '' ) across the country . Many of these banks were located in western regions . The effect of these two policies was to transfer specie away from the nation 's main commercial centers on the East Coast . With lower monetary reserves in their vaults , major banks and financial institutions on the East Coast had to scale back their loans , which was a major cause of the panic along with the real estate crash . Americans at the time attributed the cause of the panic principally to domestic political conflicts . Some blamed Jackson for refusing to renew the charter of the Bank , resulting in the withdrawal of government funds from the bank . Martin Van Buren , who became president in March 1837 , was largely blamed for the panic even though his inauguration preceded the panic by only five weeks . Van Buren 's refusal to use government intervention to address the crisis ( such as emergency relief and increasing spending on public infrastructure projects to reduce unemployment ) according to his opponents , contributed further to the hardship and duration of the depression that followed the panic . Jacksonian Democrats , on the other hand , blamed the national Bank , both in funding rampant speculation and in introducing inflationary paper money . Modern economists generally view Van Buren 's deregulatory economic policy as successful in the long term for its importance in revitalizing banks after the panic . Effects and aftermath ( edit ) The modern balaam and his ass , an 1837 caricature placing the blame for the Panic of 1837 and the perilous state of the banking system on outgoing President Andrew Jackson , shown riding a donkey , while President Martin Van Buren comments approvingly . Virtually the whole nation felt the effects of the panic . Connecticut , New Jersey , and Delaware reported the greatest stress in their mercantile districts . In 1837 , Vermont 's business and credit systems had taken a hard blow . Vermont had a period of alleviation in 1838 , but was hit hard again in 1839 -- 1840 . New Hampshire did not feel the effects of the panic as much as its neighbors did . It had no permanent debt in 1838 , and did not have a lot of economic stress the following years . New Hampshire 's greatest hardship was the circulation of fractional coins inside the state . Conditions in the South were much worse than the conditions in the East . Though the Old South was hit hard , the Cotton Belt was dealt the worst blow . In Virginia , North Carolina , and South Carolina the panic caused an increase in the interest of diversifying crops . New Orleans felt a general depression in business , and its money market stayed in bad condition throughout 1843 . Several planters in Mississippi had spent much of their money in advance , leading to the complete bankruptcy of many planters . By 1839 , many of the plantations were thrown out of cultivation . Florida and Georgia did not feel the effects as early as Louisiana , Alabama , or Mississippi . In 1837 , Georgia had sufficient coin to carry on everyday purchases . Until 1839 , citizens of Florida were able to boast about the punctuality of their payments . It was in the 1840s when Georgia and Florida began to feel the negative effects of the panic . At first the West did not feel as much pressure as the East or the South . Ohio , Indiana , and Illinois were agricultural states , and the good crops of 1837 were a relief to the farmers . In 1839 , agricultural prices had fallen and the pressure had reached the agriculturalists . Within two months the losses from bank failures in New York alone aggregated nearly $100 million . Out of 850 banks in the United States , 343 closed entirely , 62 failed partially , and the system of state banks received a shock from which it never fully recovered . The publishing industry was particularly hurt by the ensuing depression . In 1842 , the American economy was able to rebound somewhat and overcome the five - year depression , but according to most accounts , the economy did not recover until 1843 . Hard times token , late 1830s ; privately minted , used in place of one cent coin during currency shortage ; inscription reads `` I Take the Responsibility '' , shows Andrew Jackson holding a drawn sword and a coin bag , emerging from a strongbox Most economists also agree that there was a brief recovery from 1838 to 1839 , which then ended as the Bank of England and Dutch creditors raised interest rates . However , economic historian Peter Temin has argued that , when corrected for deflation , the economy actually grew after 1838 . According to economist and historian Murray Rothbard , between 1839 and 1843 , real consumption increased by 21 percent and real gross national product increased by 16 percent , despite the fact that real investment fell by 23 percent and the money supply shrank by 34 percent . The recovery from the depression intensified after the California gold rush started in 1848 , which greatly increased the money supply . By 1850 , the U.S. economy was booming again . Many individual states defaulted on their bonds , which angered British creditors . For a brief time , the United States withdrew from international money markets . Only in the late 1840s did Americans re-enter these markets . These defaults , along with other consequences of the recession , carried major implications for the relationship between the state and economic development . In some ways , the panic undermined confidence in public support for internal improvements . While state investment in internal improvements remained common in the South up until the Civil War , northerners increasingly looked to private investment , rather than public , to finance growth . Moreover , the panic unleashed a wave of riots and other forms of domestic unrest . The ultimate result was an increase in the state 's police powers , including more professional police forces . Intangible factors like confidence and psychology played powerful roles , helping to explain the magnitude and depth of the panic . Central banks had only limited abilities to control prices and employment at the time , making runs on banks common . When a few banks collapsed , alarm quickly spread throughout the community , heightened by partisan newspapers . Anxious investors rushed to other banks , demanding to have their deposits withdrawn . When faced with such pressure , even healthy banks had to make further curtailments -- calling in loans and demanding payment from their borrowers . This only fed the hysteria even further , leading to a downward spiral or snowball effect . In other words , anxiety , fear , and a pervasive lack of confidence initiated devastating , self - sustaining feedback loops . Many economists today understand this phenomenon as an information asymmetry . Essentially , bank depositors reacted to imperfect information ; they did not know if their deposits were safe , and fearing further risk , they withdrew their deposits , even as this caused more damage . The same concept of downward spiral was true for many southern planters , who speculated in land , cotton , and slaves . Many planters took out loans from banks under the assumption that cotton prices would continue to rise . When cotton prices dropped , however , planters could not pay back their loans , which jeopardized the solvency of many banks . These factors were particularly crucial given the lack of deposit insurance in banks . When bank customers are not assured that their deposits are safe , they are more likely to make rash decisions that can imperil the rest of the economy . Economists today have concluded that suspension of convertibility , deposit insurance , and sufficient capital requirements in banks can limit the possibility of bank runs .

The song went to number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart during the week of March 12 , 1977 , kept from the top spot by `` Evergreen ( Love Theme from A Star Is Born ) '' by Barbra Streisand . The single edit can be found on Greatest Hits ( 1974 -- 1978 ) . The song has an unusually mellow and `` dreamy '' feel . It is usually played in tandem with `` Space Intro '' , but the song also segues into `` Wild Mountain Honey '' .

The song was re-recorded for the eponymous album released in 1976 . An earlier 1973 version of the song features a more bluesy and less funk - inspired rhythm , and guitar taking the synthesizer parts ( albeit with similar delay effects ) . The lyrics are slightly different , indicating that the place the eagle wants to fly away from is a Native American reservation . The song 's final , funk - inspired album version pays homage to `` Slippin ' Into Darkness '' by War ( 1971 ) . The main guitar hook in the song was first used in a slightly different form on Miller 's 1969 track `` My Dark Hour '' ( which featured Paul McCartney ) .

Additional information ( edit ) The song has also been used in advertisements by the United States Postal Service from 1998 to 2002 , using the `` Eagle '' logo . The song is featured as a playable song in Rock Band 3 . In 2012 , `` Fly Like an Eagle '' was chosen as `` the best - ever song about birds '' by Birds & Blooms magazine . `` We 're not at all surprised by the popularity of Steve Miller 's Fly Like An Eagle with our readers , '' said Birds & Blooms ' editor Stacy Tornio in a press release . `` It 's an iconic song for the iconic American bird . '' Other notable songs on the Birds & Blooms list were Lynyrd Skynyrd 's `` Free Bird '' and the Beatles ' `` Blackbird '' . The synthesizer solo and subsequent faint beeping at the song 's ending were used in severe weather warnings broadcast by WFLD , a television station in Chicago . The name of the Futurama episode `` Time Keeps On Slippin ' '' comes from a line in the song . Music portal References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` YouTube '' . YouTube .

These alternatives are intended to address concerns about such fossil fuels , such as its high carbon dioxide emissions , an important factor in global warming . Marine energy , hydroelectric , wind , geothermal and solar power are all alternative sources of energy . The nature of what constitutes an alternative energy source has changed considerably over time , as have controversies regarding energy use . Because of the variety of energy choices and differing goals of their advocates , defining some energy types as `` alternative '' is considered very controversial . Contents ( hide ) 1 Definitions 2 History 2.1 Coal as an alternative to wood 2.2 Petroleum as an alternative to whale oil 2.3 Ethanol as an alternative to fossil fuels 2.4 Coal gasification as an alternative to petroleum 3 Existing types of alternative energy 4 Enabling technologies 5 Renewable energy vs non-renewable energy 5.1 Ecologically friendly alternatives 6 Relatively new concepts for alternative energy 6.1 Carbon - neutral and negative fuels 6.2 Algae fuel 6.3 Biomass briquettes 6.3. 1 Biogas digestion 6.4 Biological hydrogen production 6.5 Hydroelectricity 6.6 Offshore wind 6.7 Marine and hydrokinetic energy 6.8 Nuclear power 6.8. 1 Thorium nuclear power 7 Investing in alternative energy 7.1 Alternative energy in transportation 8 Making alternative energy mainstream 9 Research 9.1 Mechanical energy 9.2 Solar 9.3 Wind 9.4 Biomass 9.5 Ethanol biofuels 9.6 Other biofuels 9.7 Geothermal 9.8 Hydrogen 10 Disadvantages 11 Setbacks 12 See also 13 References 14 Further reading Definitions ( edit ) Source Definition Oxford Dictionary Energy fueled into ways that do not use up natural resources or harm the environment . Princeton WordNet Energy derived from sources that do not use up natural resources or harm the environment . Responding to Climate Change 2007 Energy derived from nontraditional sources ( e.g. , compressed natural gas , solar , hydroelectric , wind ) . Natural Resources Defense Council Energy that is not popularly used and is usually environmentally sound , such as solar or wind energy ( as opposed to fossil fuels ) . Materials Management Fuel sources that are other than those derived from fossil fuels . Typically used interchangeably for renewable energy . Examples include : wind , solar , biomass , wave and tidal energy . Torridge District Council Energy generated from alternatives to fossil fuels . Need not be renewable . History ( edit ) Historians of economies have examined the key transitions to alternative energies and regard the transitions as pivotal in bringing about significant economic change . Prior to the shift to an alternative energy , supplies of the dominant energy type became erratic , accompanied by rapid increases in energy prices . Coal as an alternative to wood ( edit ) In the late medieval period , coal was the new alternative fuel to save the society from overuse of the dominant fuel , wood . The deforestation had resulted in shortage of wood , at that time soft coal appeared as a savior . Historian Norman F. Cantor describes how : `` Europeans had lived in the midst of vast forests throughout the earlier medieval centuries . After 1250 they became so skilled at deforestation that by 1500 AD they were running short of wood for heating and cooking ... By 1500 Europe was on the edge of a fuel and nutritional disaster , ( from ) which it was saved in the sixteenth century only by the burning of soft coal and the cultivation of potatoes and maize . '' Petroleum as an alternative to whale oil ( edit ) Whale oil was the dominant form of lubrication and fuel for lamps in the early 19th century , but the depletion of the whale stocks by mid century caused whale oil prices to skyrocket setting the stage for the adoption of petroleum which was first commercialized in Pennsylvania in 1859 . Ethanol as an alternative to fossil fuels ( edit ) Main article : Ethanol fuel In 1917 , Alexander Graham Bell advocated ethanol from corn , wheat and other foods as an alternative to coal and oil , stating that the world was in measurable distance of depleting these fuels . For Bell , the problem requiring an alternative was lack of renewability of orthodox energy sources . Since the 1970s , Brazil has had an ethanol fuel program which has allowed the country to become the world 's second largest producer of ethanol ( after the United States ) and the world 's largest exporter . Brazil 's ethanol fuel program uses modern equipment and cheap sugar cane as feedstock , and the residual cane - waste ( bagasse ) is used to process heat and power . There are no longer light vehicles in Brazil running on pure gasoline . By the end of 2008 there were 35,000 filling stations throughout Brazil with at least one ethanol pump . Cellulosic ethanol can be produced from a diverse array of feedstocks , and involves the use of the whole crop . This new approach should increase yields and reduce the carbon footprint because the amount of energy - intensive fertilizers and fungicides will remain the same , for a higher output of usable material . As of 2008 , there are nine commercial cellulosic ethanol plants which are either operating , or under construction , in the United States . Second - generation biofuels technologies are able to manufacture biofuels from inedible biomass and could hence prevent conversion of food into fuel . '' As of July 2010 , there is one commercial second - generation ( 2G ) ethanol plant Inbicon Biomass Refinery , which is operating in Denmark . Coal gasification as an alternative to petroleum ( edit ) In the 1970s , President Jimmy Carter 's administration advocated coal gasification as an alternative to expensive imported oil . The program , including the Synthetic Fuels Corporation was scrapped when petroleum prices plummeted in the 1980s . The carbon footprint and environmental impact of coal gasification are both very high . Existing types of alternative energy ( edit ) Hydro electricity captures energy from falling water . Nuclear energy uses nuclear fission to release energy stored in the atomic bonds of heavy elements . Wind energy is the generation of electricity from wind , commonly by using propeller - like turbines . Solar energy is the use of sunlight . Light can be changed into thermal ( heat ) energy or directly into electricity via photovoltaic devices . Geothermal energy is the use of the earth 's internal heat to boil water for heating buildings or generating electricity . Biofuel and ethanol are plant - derived gasoline substitutes for powering vehicles . Hydrogen can be used as a carrier of energy , produced by various technologies such as cracking of hydrocarbons or water electrolysis . Enabling technologies ( edit ) Ice storage air conditioning and thermal storage heaters are methods of shifting consumption to use low cost off - peak electricity . When compared to resistance heating , heat pumps conserve electrical power ( or in rare cases mechanical or thermal power ) by collecting heat from a cool source such as a body of water , the ground or the air . Thermal storage technologies allow heat or cold to be stored for periods of time ranging from diurnal to interseasonal , and can involve storage of sensible energy ( i.e. by changing the temperature of a medium ) or latent energy ( e.g. through phase changes of a medium ( i.e. changes from solid to liquid or vice versa ) , such as between water and slush or ice ) . Energy sources can be natural ( via solar - thermal collectors , or dry cooling towers used to collect winter 's cold ) , waste energy ( such as from HVAC equipment , industrial processes or power plants ) , or surplus energy ( such as seasonally from hydropower projects or intermittently from wind farms ) . The Drake Landing Solar Community ( Alberta , Canada ) is illustrative . Borehole thermal energy storage allows the community to get 97 % of its year - round heat from solar collectors on the garage roofs . The storages can be insulated tanks , borehole clusters in substrates ranging from gravel to bedrock , deep aquifers , or shallow pits that are lined and insulated . Some applications require inclusion of a heat pump . Renewable energy vs non-renewable energy ( edit ) Main article : Renewable energy Renewable energy is generated from natural resources -- such as sunlight , wind , rain , tides and geothermal heat -- which are renewable ( naturally replenished ) . When comparing the processes for producing energy , there remain several fundamental differences between renewable energy and fossil fuels . The process of producing oil , coal , or natural gas fuel is a difficult and demanding process that requires a great deal of complex equipment , physical and chemical processes . On the other hand , alternative energy can be widely produced with basic equipment and natural processes . Wood , the most renewable and available alternative fuel , emits the same amount of carbon when burned as would be emitted if it degraded naturally . Nuclear power is an alternative to fossil fuels that is non-renewable , like fossil fuels , nuclear ones are a finite resource . Ecologically friendly alternatives ( edit ) A renewable energy source such as biomass is sometimes regarded as a good alternative to providing heat and electricity with fossil fuels . Biofuels are not inherently ecologically friendly for this purpose , while burning biomass is carbon - neutral , air pollution is still produced . For example , the Netherlands , once leader in use of palm oil as a biofuel , has suspended all subsidies for palm oil due to the scientific evidence that their use `` may sometimes create more environmental harm than fossil fuels '' . The Netherlands government and environmental groups are trying to trace the origins of imported palm oil , to certify which operations produce the oil in a responsible manner . Regarding biofuels from foodstuffs , the realization that converting the entire grain harvest of the US would only produce 16 % of its auto fuel needs , and the decimation of Brazil 's CO absorbing tropical rain forests to make way for biofuel production has made it clear that placing energy markets in competition with food markets results in higher food prices and insignificant or negative impact on energy issues such as global warming or dependence on foreign energy . Recently , alternatives to such undesirable sustainable fuels are being sought , such as commercially viable sources of cellulosic ethanol . Relatively New concepts for alternative energy ( edit ) Carbon - neutral and negative fuels ( edit ) Main articles : Carbon - neutral fuel and Methanol economy Carbon - neutral fuels are synthetic fuels ( including methane , gasoline , diesel fuel , jet fuel or ammonia ) produced by hydrogenating waste carbon dioxide recycled from power plant flue - gas emissions , recovered from automotive exhaust gas , or derived from carbonic acid in seawater . Commercial fuel synthesis companies suggest they can produce synthetic fuels for less than petroleum fuels when oil costs more than $55 per barrel . Renewable methanol ( RM ) is a fuel produced from hydrogen and carbon dioxide by catalytic hydrogenation where the hydrogen has been obtained from water electrolysis . It can be blended into transportation fuel or processed as a chemical feedstock . The George Olah carbon dioxide recycling plant operated by Carbon Recycling International in Grindavík , Iceland has been producing 2 million liters of methanol transportation fuel per year from flue exhaust of the Svartsengi Power Station since 2011 . It has the capacity to produce 5 million liters per year . A 250 kilowatt methane synthesis plant was constructed by the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research ( ZSW ) at Baden - Württemberg and the Fraunhofer Society in Germany and began operating in 2010 . It is being upgraded to 10 megawatts , scheduled for completion in autumn , 2012 . Audi has constructed a carbon - neutral liquefied natural gas ( LNG ) plant in Werlte , Germany . The plant is intended to produce transportation fuel to offset LNG used in their A3 Sportback g - tron automobiles , and can keep 2,800 metric tons of CO out of the environment per year at its initial capacity . Other commercial developments are taking place in Columbia , South Carolina , Camarillo , California , and Darlington , England .

To the extent that synthetic fuels displace fossil fuels , or if they are produced from waste carbon or seawater carbonic acid , and their combustion is subject to carbon capture at the flue or exhaust pipe , they result in negative carbon dioxide emission and net carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere , and thus constitute a form of greenhouse gas remediation . Such renewable fuels alleviate the costs and dependency issues of imported fossil fuels without requiring either electrification of the vehicle fleet or conversion to hydrogen or other fuels , enabling continued compatible and affordable vehicles . Carbon - neutral fuels offer relatively low cost energy storage , alleviating the problems of wind and solar intermittency , and they enable distribution of wind , water , and solar power through existing natural gas pipelines . Nighttime wind power is considered the most economical form of electrical power with which to synthesize fuel , because the load curve for electricity peaks sharply during the day , but wind tends to blow slightly more at night than during the day , so , the price of nighttime wind power is often much less expensive than any alternative . Germany has built a 250 kilowatt synthetic methane plant which they are scaling up to 10 megawatts . Algae fuel ( edit ) Algae fuel is a biofuel which is derived from algae . During photosynthesis , algae and other photosynthetic organisms capture carbon dioxide and sunlight and convert it into oxygen and biomass . This is usually done by placing the algae between two panes of glass . The algae creates three forms of energy fuel : heat ( from its growth cycle ) , biofuel ( the natural `` oil '' derived from the algae ) , and biomass ( from the algae itself , as it is harvested upon maturity ) . The heat can be used to power building systems ( such as heat process water ) or to produce energy . Biofuel is oil extracted from the algae upon maturity , and used to create energy similar to the use of biodiesel . The biomass is the matter left over after extracting the oil and water , and can be harvested to produce combustible methane for energy production , similar to the warmth felt in a compost pile or the methane collected from biodegradable materials in a landfill . Additionally , the benefits of algae biofuel are that it can be produced industrially , as well as vertically ( i.e. as a building facade ) , thereby obviating the use of arable land and food crops ( such as soy , palm , and canola ) . Biomass briquettes ( edit ) Biomass briquettes are being developed in the developing world as an alternative to charcoal . The technique involves the conversion of almost any plant matter into compressed briquettes that typically have about 70 % the calorific value of charcoal . There are relatively few examples of large scale briquette production . One exception is in North Kivu , in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo , where forest clearance for charcoal production is considered to be the biggest threat to Mountain Gorilla habitat . The staff of Virunga National Park have successfully trained and equipped over 3500 people to produce biomass briquettes , thereby replacing charcoal produced illegally inside the national park , and creating significant employment for people living in extreme poverty in conflict affected areas . Biogas digestion ( edit ) Biogas digestion deals with harnessing the methane gas that is released when waste breaks down . This gas can be retrieved from garbage or sewage systems . Biogas digesters are used to process methane gas by having bacteria break down biomass in an anaerobic environment . The methane gas that is collected and refined can be used as an energy source for various products . Biological hydrogen production ( edit ) Hydrogen gas is a completely clean burning fuel ; its only by - product is water . It also contains relatively high amount of energy compared with other fuels due to its chemical structure . 2H + O → 2H O + High Energy High Energy + 2H O → 2H + O This requires a high - energy input , making commercial hydrogen very inefficient . Use of a biological vector as a means to split water , and therefore produce hydrogen gas , would allow for the only energy input to be solar radiation . Biological vectors can include bacteria or more commonly algae . This process is known as biological hydrogen production . It requires the use of single celled organisms to create hydrogen gas through fermentation . Without the presence of oxygen , also known as an anaerobic environment , regular cellular respiration can not take place and a process known as fermentation takes over . A major by - product of this process is hydrogen gas . If this could be implemented on a large scale , then sunlight , nutrients and water could create hydrogen gas to be used as a dense source of energy . Large - scale production has proven difficult . Not until 1999 , was it even possible to induce these anaerobic conditions by sulfur deprivation . Since the fermentation process is an evolutionary back up , turned on during stress , the cells would die after a few days . In 2000 , a two - stage process was developed to take the cells in and out of anaerobic conditions and therefore keep them alive . For the last ten years , finding a way to do this on a large - scale has been the main goal of research . Careful work is being done to ensure an efficient process before large - scale production , however once a mechanism is developed , this type of production could solve our energy needs . Hydroelectricity ( edit ) Main article : Hydroelectricity Hydroelectricity provided 75 % of the worlds renewable electricity in 2013 . Much of the electricity used today is a result of the heyday of conventional hydroelectric development between 1960 and 1980 , which has virtually ceased in Europe and North America due to environmental concerns . Globally there is a trend towards more hydroelectricity . From 2004 to 2014 the installed capacity rose from 715 to 1,055 GW . A popular alternative to the large dams of the past is run - of - the - river where there is no water stored behind a dam and generation usually varies with seasonal rainfall . Using run - of - the - river in wet seasons and solar in dry seasons can balance seasonal variations for both . Another move away from large dams is small hydro , these tend to be situated high up on tributaries , rather than on main rivers in valley bottoms . Offshore wind ( edit ) Offshore wind farms are similar to land - based wind farms , but are located on the ocean . Offshore wind farms can be placed in water up to 40 metres ( 130 ft ) deep , whereas floating wind turbines can float in water up to 700 metres ( 2,300 ft ) deep . The advantage of having a floating wind farm is to be able to harness the winds from the open ocean . Without any obstructions such as hills , trees and buildings , winds from the open ocean can reach up to speeds twice as fast as coastal areas . Significant generation of offshore wind energy already contributes to electricity needs in Europe and Asia and now the first offshore wind farms are under development in U.S. waters . While the offshore wind industry has grown dramatically over the last several decades , especially in Europe , there is still uncertainty associated with how the construction and operation of these wind farms affect marine animals and the marine environment . Traditional offshore wind turbines are attached to the seabed in shallower waters within the nearshore marine environment . As offshore wind technologies become more advanced , floating structures have begun to be used in deeper waters where more wind resources exist . Marine and Hydrokinetic energy ( edit ) Marine and Hydrokinetic ( MHK ) or marine energy development includes projects using the following devices : Wave power is the transport of energy by wind waves , and the capture of that energy to do useful work -- for example , electricity generation or pumping water into reservoirs . A machine able to exploit significant waves in open coastal areas is generally known as a wave energy converter . Tidal power turbines are placed in coastal and estuarine areas and daily flows are quite predictable . In - stream turbines in fast - moving rivers Ocean current turbines in areas of strong marine currents Ocean thermal energy converters in deep tropical waters . Nuclear power ( edit ) In the year 2015 ten new reactors came online and 67 more were under construction including the first eight new Generation III+ AP1000 reactors in the US and China and the first four new Generation III EPR reactors in Finland , France and China . Reactors are also under construction in Belarus , Brazil , India , Iran , Japan , Pakistan , Russia , Slovakia , South Korea , Turkey , Ukraine and United Arab Emirates . Thorium nuclear power ( edit ) Early thorium - based ( MSR ) nuclear reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the 1960s Main article : Thorium fuel cycle For more details on power production see , see Thorium - based nuclear power . Thorium is a fissionable material for possible future use in a thorium - based reactor . Proponents of thorium reactors claims several potential advantages over a uranium fuel cycle , such as thorium 's greater abundance , better resistance to nuclear weapons proliferation , and reduced plutonium and actinide production . Thorium reactors can be modified to produce Uranium - 233 , which can then be processed into highly enriched uranium , which has been tested in low yield weapons , and is unproven on a commercial scale . Investing in alternative energy ( edit ) As an emerging economic sector , there are limited stock market investment opportunities in alternative energy available to the general public . The public can buy shares of alternative energy companies from various stock markets , with wildly volatile returns . The recent IPO of SolarCity demonstrates the nascent nature of this sector - within a few weeks , it already had achieved the second highest market cap within the alternative energy sector . Investors can also choose to invest in ETFs ( exchange - traded funds ) that track an alternative energy index , such as the WilderHill New Energy Index . Additionally , there are a number of mutual funds , such as Calvert 's Global Alternative Energy Mutual Fund that are a bit more proactive in choosing the selected investments . Recently , Mosaic Inc. launched an online platform allowing residents of California and New York to invest directly in solar . Investing in solar projects had previously been limited to accredited investors , or a small number of willing banks . Over the last three years publicly traded alternative energy companies have been very volatile , with some 2007 returns in excess of 100 % , some 2008 returns down 90 % or more , and peak - to - trough returns in 2009 again over 100 % . In general there are three sub-segments of `` alternative '' energy investment : solar energy , wind energy and hybrid electric vehicles . Alternative energy sources which are renewable and have lower carbon emissions than fossil fuels are hydropower , wind energy , solar energy , geothermal energy , and bio fuels . Each of these four segments involve very different technologies and investment concerns . For example , photovoltaic solar energy is based on semiconductor processing and accordingly , benefits from steep cost reductions similar to those realized in the microprocessor industry ( i.e. , driven by larger scale , higher module efficiency , and improving processing technologies ) . PV solar energy is perhaps the only energy technology whose electricity generation cost could be reduced by half or more over the next five years . Better and more efficient manufacturing process and new technology such as advanced thin film solar cell is a good example of that helps to reduce industry cost . The economics of solar PV electricity are highly dependent on silicon pricing and even companies whose technologies are based on other materials ( e.g. , First Solar ) are impacted by the balance of supply and demand in the silicon market . In addition , because some companies sell completed solar cells on the open market ( e.g. , Q - Cells ) , this creates a low barrier to entry for companies that want to manufacture solar modules , which in turn can create an irrational pricing environment . In contrast , because wind power has been harnessed for over 100 years , its underlying technology is relatively stable . Its economics are largely determined by siting ( e.g. , how hard the wind blows and the grid investment requirements ) and the prices of steel ( the largest component of a wind turbine ) and select composites ( used for the blades ) . Because current wind turbines are often in excess of 100 meters high , logistics and a global manufacturing platform are major sources of competitive advantage . These issues and others were explored in a research report by Sanford Bernstein . Alternative energy in transportation ( edit ) Due to steadily rising gas prices in 2008 with the US national average price per gallon of regular unleaded gas rising above $4.00 at one point , there has been a steady movement towards developing higher fuel efficiency and more alternative fuel vehicles for consumers . In response , many smaller companies have rapidly increased research and development into radically different ways of powering consumer vehicles . Hybrid and battery electric vehicles are commercially available and are gaining wider industry and consumer acceptance worldwide . For example , Nissan USA introduced the world 's first mass - production electric vehicle , the Nissan Leaf . A plug - in hybrid car , the Chevrolet Volt also has been produced , using an electric motor to drive the wheels , and a small four - cylinder engine to generate additional electricity . Making alternative energy mainstream ( edit ) Before alternative energy becomes mainstream there are a few crucial obstacles that it must overcome . First there must be increased understanding of how alternative energies are beneficial ; secondly the availability components for these systems must increase ; and lastly the pay - back period must be decreased . For example , electric vehicles ( EV ) and plug - in hybrid electric vehicles ( PHEV ) are on the rise . These vehicles depend on investment in home and public charging infrastructure , as well as implementing much more alternative energy for future transportation . Research ( edit ) There are numerous organizations within the academic , federal , and commercial sectors conducting large scale advanced research in the field of alternative energy . This research spans several areas of focus across the alternative energy spectrum . Most of the research is targeted at improving efficiency and increasing overall energy yields . In the US , multiple federally supported research organizations have focused on alternative energy in recent years . Two of the most prominent of these labs are Sandia National Laboratories and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory ( NREL ) , both of which are funded by the United States Department of Energy and supported by various corporate partners . Sandia has a total budget of $2.4 billion while NREL has a budget of $375 million . With the increasing consumption levels of energy , it is projected that the levels would increase by 21 % in 2030 . The cost of the renewables was relatively cheaper at $2.5 m / MW as compared to the non-renewables & 2.7 m / MW . Evidently , the use of renewable energy is a cost effective method of obtaining energy . Additionally , their use also dispenses with the trade - off that has existed between environmental conservation and economic growth . Mechanical energy ( edit ) Mechanical energy associated with human activities such as blood circulation , respiration , walking , typing and running , is ubiquitous but usually wasted . It has attracted tremendous attention from researchers around the globe to find methods to scavenge such mechanical energies . The best solution currently is to use piezoelectric materials , which can generate flow of electrons when deformed . Various devices using piezoelectric materials have been built to scavenge mechanical energy . Considering that the piezoelectric constant of the material plays a critical role in the overall performance of a piezoelectric device , one critical research direction to improve device efficiency is to find new material of large piezoelectric response . Lead Magnesium Niobate - Lead Titanate ( PMN - PT ) is a next - generation piezoelectric material with super high piezoelectric constant when ideal composition and orientation are obtained . In 2012 , PMN - PT Nanowires with a very high piezoelectric constant were fabricated by a hydro - thermal approach and then assembled into an energy - harvesting device . The record - high piezoelectric constant was further improved by the fabrication of a single - crystal PMN - PT nanobelt , which was then used as the essential building block for a piezoelectric nanogenerator . Solar ( edit ) Main article : Solar energy Solar energy can be used for heating , cooling or electrical power generation using the sun . Solar heat has long been employed in passively and actively heated buildings , as well as district heating systems . Examples of the latter are the Drake Landing Solar Community is Alberta , Canada and numerous district systems in Denmark and Germany . In Europe , there are two programs for the application of solar heat : the Solar District Heating ( SDH ) and the International Energy Agency 's Solar Heating and Cooling ( SHC ) program . The obstacles preventing the large scale implementation of solar powered energy generation is the inefficiency of current solar technology , and the cost . Currently , photovoltaic ( PV ) panels only have the ability to convert around 16 % of the sunlight that hits them into electricity . Both Sandia National Laboratories and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory ( NREL ) , have heavily funded solar research programs . The NREL solar program has a budget of around $75 million and develops research projects in the areas of photovoltaic ( PV ) technology , solar thermal energy , and solar radiation . The budget for Sandia 's solar division is unknown , however it accounts for a significant percentage of the laboratory 's $2.4 billion budget . Several academic programs have focused on solar research in recent years . The Solar Energy Research Center ( SERC ) at University of North Carolina ( UNC ) has the sole purpose of developing cost effective solar technology . In 2008 , researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ) developed a method to store solar energy by using it to produce hydrogen fuel from water . Such research is targeted at addressing the obstacle that solar development faces of storing energy for use during nighttime hours when the sun is not shining . The Zhangebei National Wind and Solar Energy Storage and Transmission Demonstration Project northwest of Beijing , uses batteries to store 71 MWh , integrating wind and solar energy on the grid with frequency and voltage regulation . In February 2012 , North Carolina - based Semprius Inc. , a solar development company backed by German corporation Siemens , announced that they had developed the world 's most efficient solar panel . The company claims that the prototype converts 33.9 % of the sunlight that hits it to electricity , more than double the previous high - end conversion rate . Wind ( edit ) Main article : Wind power Wind energy research dates back several decades to the 1970s when NASA developed an analytical model to predict wind turbine power generation during high winds . Today , both Sandia National Laboratories and National Renewable Energy Laboratory have programs dedicated to wind research . Sandia 's laboratory focuses on the advancement of materials , aerodynamics , and sensors . The NREL wind projects are centered on improving wind plant power production , reducing their capital costs , and making wind energy more cost effective overall . The Field Laboratory for Optimized Wind Energy ( FLOWE ) at Caltech was established to research alternative approaches to wind energy farming technology practices that have the potential to reduce the cost , size , and environmental impact of wind energy production . Renewable energies such as wind , solar , biomass and geothermal combined , supplied 1.3 % of global final energy consumption in 2013 . Biomass ( edit ) Main articles : Biomass and Biogas Sugarcane plantation to produce ethanol in Brazil A CHP power station using wood to supplies 30,000 households in France Biomass can be regarded as `` biological material '' derived from living , or recently living organisms . It most often refers to plants or plant - derived materials which are specifically called lignocellulosic biomass . As an energy source , biomass can either be used directly via combustion to produce heat , or indirectly after converting it to various forms of biofuel . Conversion of biomass to biofuel can be achieved by different methods which are broadly classified into : thermal , chemical , and biochemical methods . Wood remains the largest biomass energy source today ; examples include forest residues ( such as dead trees , branches and tree stumps ) , yard clippings , wood chips and even municipal solid waste . In the second sense , biomass includes plant or animal matter that can be converted into fibers or other industrial chemicals , including biofuels . Industrial biomass can be grown from numerous types of plants , including miscanthus , switchgrass , hemp , corn , poplar , willow , sorghum , sugarcane , bamboo , and a variety of tree species , ranging from eucalyptus to oil palm ( palm oil ) . Biomass , biogas and biofuels are burned to produce heat / power and in doing so harm the environment . Pollutants such as sulphurous oxides ( SO ) , nitrous oxides ( NO ) , and particulate matter ( PM ) are produced from this combustion . The World Health Organisation estimates that 7 million premature deaths are caused each year by air pollution , and biomass combustion is a major contributor of it . The use of biomas is carbon neutral over time , but is otherwise similar to burning fossil fuels . Ethanol biofuels ( edit ) Main article : Ethanol biofuels As the primary source of biofuels in North America , many organizations are conducting research in the area of ethanol production . On the Federal level , the USDA conducts a large amount of research regarding ethanol production in the United States . Much of this research is targeted toward the effect of ethanol production on domestic food markets . The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has conducted various ethanol research projects , mainly in the area of cellulosic ethanol . Cellulosic ethanol has many benefits over traditional corn based - ethanol . It does not take away or directly conflict with the food supply because it is produced from wood , grasses , or non-edible parts of plants . Moreover , some studies have shown cellulosic ethanol to be more cost effective and economically sustainable than corn - based ethanol . Sandia National Laboratories conducts in - house cellulosic ethanol research and is also a member of the Joint BioEnergy Institute ( JBEI ) , a research institute founded by the United States Department of Energy with the goal of developing cellulosic biofuels . Other biofuels ( edit ) Main article : Biofuel From 1978 to 1996 , the National Renewable Energy Laboratory experimented with using algae as a biofuels source in the `` Aquatic Species Program . '' A self - published article by Michael Briggs , at the University of New Hampshire Biofuels Group , offers estimates for the realistic replacement of all motor vehicle fuel with biofuels by utilizing algae that have a natural oil content greater than 50 % , which Briggs suggests can be grown on algae ponds at wastewater treatment plants . This oil - rich algae can then be extracted from the system and processed into biofuels , with the dried remainder further reprocessed to create ethanol . The production of algae to harvest oil for biofuels has not yet been undertaken on a commercial scale , but feasibility studies have been conducted to arrive at the above yield estimate . In addition to its projected high yield , algaculture -- unlike food crop - based biofuels -- does not entail a decrease in food production , since it requires neither farmland nor fresh water . Many companies are pursuing algae bio-reactors for various purposes , including scaling up biofuels production to commercial levels . Several groups in various sectors are conducting research on Jatropha curcas , a poisonous shrub - like tree that produces seeds considered by many to be a viable source of biofuels feedstock oil . Much of this research focuses on improving the overall per acre oil yield of Jatropha through advancements in genetics , soil science , and horticultural practices . SG Biofuels , a San Diego - based Jatropha developer , has used molecular breeding and biotechnology to produce elite hybrid seeds of Jatropha that show significant yield improvements over first generation varieties . The Center for Sustainable Energy Farming ( CfSEF ) is a Los Angeles - based non-profit research organization dedicated to Jatropha research in the areas of plant science , agronomy , and horticulture . Successful exploration of these disciplines is projected to increase Jatropha farm production yields by 200 - 300 % in the next ten years . Geothermal ( edit ) Main article : Geothermal electricity Geothermal energy is produced by tapping into the heat within the earths crust . It is considered sustainable because that thermal energy is constantly replenished . However , the science of geothermal energy generation is still young and developing economic viability . Several entities , such as the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories are conducting research toward the goal of establishing a proven science around geothermal energy . The International Centre for Geothermal Research ( IGC ) , a German geosciences research organization , is largely focused on geothermal energy development research . Hydrogen ( edit ) Main article : Hydrogen fuel Over $1 billion has been spent on the research and development of hydrogen fuel in the United States . Both the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories have departments dedicated to hydrogen research . Much of this work centers on hydrogen storage and fuel cell technologies Disadvantages ( edit ) Further information : Renewable energy debate , Disadvantages of hydroelectricity , Tidal power § Tidal power issues , and Issues relating to biofuels The generation of alternative energy on the scale needed to replace fossil energy , in an effort to reverse global climate change , is likely to have significant negative environmental impacts . For example , biomass energy generation would have to increase 7-fold to supply current primary energy demand , and up to 40-fold by 2100 given economic and energy growth projections . Humans already appropriate 30 to 40 % of all photosynthetically fixed carbon worldwide , indicating that expansion of additional biomass harvesting is likely to stress ecosystems , in some cases precipitating collapse and extinction of animal species that have been deprived of vital food sources . The total amount of energy capture by vegetation in the United States each year is around 58 quads ( 61.5 EJ ) , about half of which is already harvested as agricultural crops and forest products . The remaining biomass is needed to maintain ecosystem functions and diversity . Since annual energy use in the United States is ca . 100 quads , biomass energy could supply only a very small fraction . To supply the current worldwide energy demand solely with biomass would require more than 10 % of the Earth 's land surface , which is comparable to the area use for all of world agriculture ( i.e. , ca . 1500 million hectares ) , indicating that further expansion of biomass energy generation will be difficult without precipitating an ethical conflict , given current world hunger statistics , over growing plants for biofuel versus food . Given environmental concerns ( e.g. , fish migration , destruction of sensitive aquatic ecosystems , etc . ) about building new dams to capture hydroelectric energy , further expansion of conventional hydropower in the United States is unlikely . Windpower , if deployed on the large scale necessary to substitute fossil energy , is likely to face public resistance . If 100 % of U.S. energy demand were to be supplied by windmills , about 80 million hectares ( i.e. , more than 40 % of all available farmland in the United States ) would have to be covered with large windmills ( 50m hub height and 250 to 500 m apart ) . It is therefore not surprising that the major environmental impact of wind power is related to land use and less to wildlife ( birds , bats , etc . ) mortality . Unless only a relatively small fraction of electricity is generated by windmills in remote locations , it is unlikely that the public will tolerate large windfarms given concerns about blade noise and aesthetics . Biofuels are different from fossil fuels in regard to net greenhouse gases but are similar to fossil fuels in that biofuels contribute to air pollution . Burning produces airborne carbon particulates , carbon monoxide and nitrous oxides . Setbacks ( edit ) This article possibly contains original research . Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations . Statements consisting only of original research should be removed . ( March 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Renewable alternative forms of energy have faced opposition from multiple groups , including conservatives and liberals . Around twelve states have passed proposals written to inhibit the alternative energy movement . Kansas lawmakers struck down a bill to phase out renewable energy mandates but face the possibility of the bill reappearing . The opposition cites the potentially high cost of branching out to these alternatives in order to support the continuation and reliance on fossil fuels . Ohio 's mandate to phase in alternative energy faces opposition who believe higher electricity prices will result , while supporters fear the loss of economic development and jobs that alternative energy could bring . With nuclear meltdowns in Chernobyl and Fukushima , nuclear power presents a constant danger and is more unlikely to be a popular alternative source . The costs of maintaining nuclear facilities , the potential risk of meltdowns , and the cost of cleaning up meltdowns are cited as reasons behind the movement away from the use of nuclear energy . In some countries nuclear power plants can not compete with fossil fuels currently due to the latter 's lower price and availability . Nuclear power plants also face competition from the increasing renewable energy subsidies . Renewable energy does have some setbacks when relying on them completely . Spikes in the wholesale price of electricity occurred in South Australia when wind was not powering the turbines responsible for a large proportion of the region 's power . This led to the government to reintegrate a gas - powered station to supply power while the wind turbines were unable to . Solar panels are an icon of the ' green power ' movement , however the process of manufacturing the quartz based panels can be detrimental to the environment . Raw quartz ( silica ) is used to create solar cells must be mined using harsh chemicals that harm the surrounding environment , as well as those working in the mines . Silicosis is a form of lung disease that is caused by the inhalation of crystalline silica dust resulting in nodule lesions in the lungs . The silica must be cultivated into metallurgical - grade silicon , the process requiring a massive amount of energy as the quartz is placed into electric arc furnaces . The metallurgical grade silica must be processed into polysilicon . This process also produces tetrachloride , a toxic substance that , if not disposed of correctly , can be harmful to the surrounding environment . Hydrochloric acid is formed when tetrachloride interacts with water , raising water and soil pH . Incidents of tetrachloride spills are common in China , as the production of solar panels has shifted from Europe and the United States to Asian countries within the early 2000s . Because of such , the villagers of Gaolong are unable to leave their homes due to air and soil becoming toxic . This was due to Luoyang Zhongui High - Technology Co. repeatedly dumped tetrachloride in a nearby field for almost a year .

In that same game , Foles left in the 4th quarter after suffering a head injury , and was replaced by rookie Matt Barkley . Barkley did not perform well either , throwing 3 interceptions . The Eagles went on to lose 17 -- 3 to the Cowboys thus dropping to 3 -- 4 on the season and 1 game out of first place . The next day , Foles was diagnosed with a concussion and ruled out of any participation in the Week 8 matchup against the Giants on medical grounds . Vick left the game late in the second quarter of the Eagles 15 -- 7 loss to the Giants in Week 8 , aggravating the hamstring injury he had previously picked up in Week 5 .

The entire island has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and it was England 's first statutory Marine Nature reserve , and the first Marine Conservation Zone , because of its unique flora and fauna . It is managed by the Landmark Trust on behalf of the National Trust .

Lundy has evidence of visitation or occupation from the Neolithic period onward , with Mesolithic flintwork , Bronze Age burial mounds , four inscribed gravestones from the early medieval period , and an early medieval monastery ( possibly dedicated to St Elen or St Helen ) . Beacon Hill cemetery ( edit ) Sketch of Beacon Hill Cemetery Beacon Hill Cemetery was excavated by Charles Thomas in 1969 . The cemetery contains four inscribed stones , dated to the 5th or 6th century AD . The site was originally enclosed by a curvilinear bank and ditch , which is still visible in the south west corner . However , the other walls were moved when the Old Light was constructed in 1819 . Celtic Christian enclosures of this type were common in Western Britain and are known as Llans in Welsh and Lanns in Cornish . There are surviving examples in Luxulyan , in Cornwall ; Mathry , Meidrim and Clydau in Wales ; and Stowford , Jacobstowe , Lydford and Instow , in Devon . Thomas proposed a five - stage sequence of site usage : ( 1 ) An area of round huts and fields . These huts may have fallen into disuse before the construction of the cemetery . ( 2 ) The construction of the focal grave , an 11 by 8 ft ( 3.4 by 2.4 m ) rectangular stone enclosure containing a single cist grave . The interior of the enclosure was filled with small granite pieces . Two more cist graves located to the west of the enclosure may also date from this time . ( 3 ) Perhaps 100 years later , the focal grave was opened and the infill removed . The body may have been moved to a church at this time . ( 4 ) & ( 5 ) Two further stages of cist grave construction around the focal grave . 23 cist graves were found during this excavation . Considering that the excavation only uncovered a small area of the cemetery , there may be as many as 100 graves . Inscribed stones ( edit ) Inscribed stones Four Celtic inscribed stones have been found in Beacon Hill Cemetery : 1400 OPTIMI , or TIMI ; the name Optimus is Latin and male . Discovered in 1962 by D.B. Hague . 1401 RESTEVTAE , or RESGEVT ( A ) , Latin , female i.e. Resteuta or Resgeuta . Discovered in 1962 by D.B. Hague . 1402 POTIT ( I ) , or ( PO ) TIT , Latin , male . Discovered in 1961 by K.S. Gardener and A. Langham . 1403 -- ) IGERNI ( FIL ) I TIGERNI , or -- I ) GERNI ( FILI ) ( T ) I ( G ) ERNI , Brittonic , male i.e. Tigernus son of Tigernus . Discovered in 1905 . Knights Templar ( edit ) Lundy was granted to the Knights Templar by Henry II in 1160 . The Templars were a major international maritime force at this time , with interests in North Devon , and almost certainly an important port at Bideford or on the River Taw in Barnstaple . This was probably because of the increasing threat posed by the Norse sea raiders ; however , it is unclear whether they ever took possession of the island . Ownership was disputed by the Marisco family who may have already been on the island during King Stephen 's reign . The Mariscos were fined , and the island was cut off from necessary supplies . Evidence of the Templars ' weak hold on the island came when King John , on his accession in 1199 , confirmed the earlier grant . Marisco family ( edit ) Marisco Castle In 1235 William de Marisco was implicated in the murder of Henry Clement , a messenger of Henry III . Three years later , an attempt was made to kill Henry III by a man who later confessed to being an agent of the Marisco family . William de Marisco fled to Lundy where he lived as a virtual king . He built a stronghold in the area now known as Bulls ' Paradise with 9 feet ( 3 m ) thick walls . In 1242 , Henry III sent troops to the island . They scaled the island 's cliff and captured William de Marisco and 16 of his `` subjects '' . Henry III built the castle ( sometimes referred to as the Marisco Castle ) in an attempt to establish the rule of law on the island and its surrounding waters . At some point in the 13th century the monks of the Cistercian order at Cleeve Abbey held the rectory of the island . Piracy ( edit ) Over the next few centuries , the island was hard to govern . Trouble followed as both English and foreign pirates and privateers -- including other members of the Marisco family -- took control of the island for short periods . Ships were forced to navigate close to Lundy because of the dangerous shingle banks in the fast flowing River Severn and Bristol Channel , with its tidal range of 27 feet ( 8.2 m ) , one of the greatest in the world . This made the island a profitable location from which to prey on passing Bristol - bound merchant ships bringing back valuable goods from overseas . In 1627 Barbary Pirates from the Republic of Salé occupied Lundy for five years . The North African invaders , under the command of Dutch renegade Jan Janszoon , flew an Ottoman flag over the island . Some captured Europeans were held on Lundy before being sent to Algiers as slaves . From 1628 to 1634 the island was plagued by pirate ships of French , Basque , English and Spanish origin . These incursions were eventually ended by Sir John Penington , but in the 1660s and as late as the 1700s the island still fell prey to French privateers . Civil War ( edit ) In the English Civil War , Thomas Bushell held Lundy for King Charles I , rebuilding Marisco Castle and garrisoning the island at his own expense . He was a friend of Francis Bacon , a strong supporter of the Royalist cause and an expert on mining and coining . It was the last Royalist territory held between the first and second civil wars . After receiving permission from Charles I , Bushell surrendered the island on 24 February 1647 to Richard Fiennes , representing General Fairfax . In 1656 , the island was acquired by Lord Saye and Sele . Millcombe House Interior of St. Helena 's Church 18th and 19th centuries ( edit ) The late 18th and early 19th centuries were years of lawlessness on Lundy , particularly during the ownership of Thomas Benson ( 1708 - 1772 ) , a Member of Parliament for Barnstaple in 1747 and Sheriff of Devon , who notoriously used the island for housing convicts whom he was supposed to be deporting . Benson leased Lundy from its owner , John Leveson - Gower , 1st Earl Gower ( 1694 -- 1754 ) ( who was an heir of the Grenville family of Bideford and of Stowe , Kilkhampton in Cornwall ) , at a rent of £ 60 per annum and contracted with the Government to transport a shipload of convicts to Virginia , but diverted the ship to Lundy to use the convicts as his personal slaves . Later Benson was involved in an insurance swindle . He purchased and insured the ship Nightingale and loaded it with a valuable cargo of pewter and linen . Having cleared the port on the mainland , the ship put into Lundy , where the cargo was removed and stored in a cave built by the convicts , before setting sail again . Some days afterwards , when a homeward - bound vessel was sighted , the Nightingale was set on fire and scuttled . The crew were taken off the stricken ship by the other ship , which landed them safely at Clovelly . Sir Vere Hunt , 1st Baronet of Curragh , a rather eccentric Irish politician and landowner , and unsuccessful man of business , purchased the island from John Cleveland in 1802 for £ 5,270 ( £ 431,800 today ) . Sir Vere Hunt planted in the island a small , self - contained Irish colony with its own constitution and divorce laws , coinage and stamps . The tenants came from Sir Vere Hunt 's Irish estate and they experienced agricultural difficulties while on the island . This led Sir Vere Hunt to seek someone who would take the island off his hands , failing in his attempt to sell the island to the British Government as a base for troops . After the 1st Baronet 's death his son , Sir Aubrey ( Hunt ) de Vere , 2nd Baronet , also had great difficulty in securing any profit from the property . In the 1820s John Benison agreed to purchase the island for £ 4,500 but then refused to complete sale as he felt that the 2nd Baronet could not make out a good title in respect of the sale terms , namely that the island was free from tithes and taxes . William Hudson Heaven purchased Lundy in 1834 , as a summer retreat and for the shooting , at a cost of 9,400 guineas ( £ 9,870 , or £ 870,600 today ) . He claimed it to be a `` free island '' , and successfully resisted the jurisdiction of the mainland magistrates . Lundy was in consequence sometimes referred to as `` the kingdom of Heaven '' . It belongs in fact to the county of Devon , and has always been part of the hundred of Braunton . Many of the buildings on the island today , including St. Helena 's Church , designed by the architect John Norton , and Millcombe House ( originally known simply as the Villa ) , date from the Heaven period . The Georgian - style villa was built in 1836 . However , the expense of building the road from the beach ( no financial assistance being provided by Trinity House , despite their regular use of the road following the construction of the lighthouses ) , the villa and the general cost of running the island had a ruinous effect on the family 's finances , which had been damaged by reduced profits from their sugar plantations in Jamaica . In 1957 a message in a bottle from one of the seamen of the HMS Caledonia was washed ashore between Babbacombe and Peppercombe in Devon . The letter , dated 15 August 1843 read : `` Dear Brother , Please e God i be with y against Michaelmas . Prepare y search Lundy for y Jenny ivories . Adiue William , Odessa '' . The bottle and letter are on display at the Portledge Hotel at Fairy Cross , in Devon , England . The Jenny was a three - masted schooner reputed to be carrying ivory and gold dust that was wrecked on Lundy ( at a place thereafter called Jenny 's Cove ) on 20 February 1797 . The ivory was apparently recovered some years later but the leather bags supposed to contain gold dust were never found . 20th and 21st centuries ( edit ) William Heaven was succeeded by his son the Reverend Hudson Grosset Heaven who , thanks to a legacy from Sarah Langworthy ( née Heaven ) , was able to fulfill his life 's ambition of building a stone church on the island . St Helen 's was completed in 1896 , and stands today as a lasting memorial to the Heaven period . It has been designated by English Heritage a Grade II listed building . He is said to have been able to afford either a church or a new harbour . His choice of the church was not however in the best financial interests of the island . The unavailability of the money for re-establishing the family 's financial soundness , coupled with disastrous investment and speculation in the early 20th century , caused severe financial hardship . One Puffin coin of 1929 , bearing the portrait of Martin Coles Harman Hudson Heaven died in 1916 , and was succeeded by his nephew , Walter Charles Hudson Heaven . With the outbreak of the First World War , matters deteriorated seriously , and in 1918 the family sold Lundy to Augustus Langham Christie . In 1924 , the Christie family sold the island along with the mail contract and the MV Lerina to Martin Coles Harman , who proclaimed himself a king . Harman issued two coins of Half Puffin and One Puffin denominations in 1929 , nominally equivalent to the British halfpenny and penny , resulting in his prosecution under the United Kingdom 's Coinage Act of 1870 . The House of Lords found him guilty in 1931 , and he was fined £ 5 with fifteen guineas ( £ 5 + £ 15.75 ) expenses . The coins were withdrawn and became collectors ' items . In 1965 a `` fantasy '' restrike four - coin set , a few in gold , was issued to commemorate 40 years since Harman purchased the island . Harman 's son , John Pennington Harman was awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross during the Battle of Kohima , India in 1944 . There is a memorial to him at the VC Quarry on Lundy . Martin Coles Harman died in 1954 . Residents did not pay taxes to the United Kingdom and had to pass through customs when they travelled to and from Lundy Island . Although the island was ruled as a virtual fiefdom , its owner never claimed to be independent of the United Kingdom , in contrast to later territorial `` micronations '' . Following the death of Harman 's son Albion in 1968 , Lundy was put up for sale in 1969 . Jack Hayward , a British millionaire , purchased the island for £ 150,000 ( £ 2,266,000 today ) and gave it to the National Trust , who leased it to the Landmark Trust . The Landmark Trust has managed the island since then , deriving its income from arranging day trips , letting out holiday cottages and from donations . In May 2015 a sculpture by Antony Gormley was erected on Lundy . It is one of five life - sized sculptures , Land , placed near the centre and at four compass points of the UK in a commission by the Landmark Trust , to celebrate its 50th anniversary . The others are at Lowsonford ( Warwickshire ) , Saddell Bay ( Scotland ) , the Martello Tower ( Aldeburgh , Suffolk ) , and Clavell Tower ( Kimmeridge Bay , Dorset ) . The island is visited by over 20,000 day - trippers a year , but during September 2007 had to be closed for several weeks owing to an outbreak of Norovirus . Wreck of battleship Montagu ( edit ) Battleship HMS Montagu aground on Lundy in 1906 A naval footnote in the history of Lundy was the wreck of the Royal Navy battleship HMS Montagu . Steaming in heavy fog , she ran hard aground near Shutter Rock on the island 's southwest corner at about 2 : 00 a.m. on 30 May 1906 . Thinking they were aground at Hartland Point on the English mainland , a landing party went ashore for help , only finding out where they were after encountering the lighthouse keeper at the island 's north light . HMS Montagu during the failed salvage attempts of the summer of 1906 Strenuous efforts by the Royal Navy to salvage the badly damaged battleship during the summer of 1906 failed , and in 1907 it was decided to give up and sell her for scrap . Montagu was scrapped at the scene over the next fifteen years . Diving clubs still visit the site , where armour plate and live 12 - inch ( 305 - millimetre ) shells remain on the seabed . Remains of a German Heinkel 111h bomber ( edit ) Remains of one of the Heinkels just south of Halfway Wall During the Second World War two German Heinkel He 111 bombers crash landed on the island in 1941 . The first was on 3 March , when all the crew survived and were taken prisoner . The second was on 1 April when the pilot was killed and the other crew members were taken prisoner . This plane had bombed a British ship and one engine was damaged by anti aircraft fire , forcing it to crash land . A few remains can be found on the crash site . Reportedly to avoid reprisals the crew concocted a story that they were on a reconnaissance mission . Geography ( edit ) Lundy Granite The island of Lundy is 3 miles ( 5 km ) long from north to south by a little over 0.6 miles ( 1 km ) wide , with an area of 1,100 acres ( 450 ha ) . The highest point on Lundy is Beacon Hill , 469 feet ( 143 m ) above sea level . A few yards off the northeastern coast is Seal 's Rock which is so called after the seals which rest on and inhabit the islet . It is less than 55 yards ( 50 m ) wide . Near the jetty is a small pocket beach . Geology ( edit ) The island is primarily composed of granite of 59.8 ± 0.4 -- 58.4 ± 0.4 million years ( from the Palaeocene epoch ) , with slate at the southern end ; the plateau soil is mainly loam , with some peat . Among the igneous dykes cutting the granite are a small number composed of a unique orthophyre . This was given the name Lundyite in 1914 , although the term -- never precisely defined -- has since fallen into disuse . Climate ( edit ) Lundy island lies on the borderline where the North Atlantic Ocean and the Bristol Channel meet , so it has quite a mild climate . Lundy has cool , wet winters and mild , wet summers . It is often windy . Fog is a continual experience . The record high temperature is 28.8 ° C ( 83.8 ° F ) on 2 August 1990 , and the record low temperature is - 4.5 ° C ( 23.9 ° F ) recorded just six months later on 7 February 1991 . Lundy Island is in the USDA 9a plant hardiness zone .

( edit ) Flora ( edit ) Lundy cabbage ( growing at Bristol Zoo ) There is one endemic plant species , the Lundy cabbage ( Coincya wrightii ) , a species of primitive brassica . By the 1980s the eastern side of the island had become overgrown by rhododendrons ( Rhododendron ponticum ) which had spread from a few specimens planted in the garden of Millcombe House in Victorian times , but eradication of this non-native plant has been undertaken by volunteers over the past fifteen years in an operation known on the island as `` rhody - bashing '' . The vegetation on the plateau is mainly dry heath , with an area of waved Calluna heath towards the northern end of the island , which is also rich in lichens , such as Teloschistes flavicans and several species of Cladonia and Parmelia . Other areas are either a dry heath / acidic grassland mosaic , characterised by heaths and western gorse ( Ulex gallii ) , or semi-improved acidic grassland in which Yorkshire fog ( Holcus lanatus ) is abundant . Tussocky ( Thrift ) ( Holcus / Armeria ) communities occur mainly on the western side , and some patches of bracken ( Pteridium aquilinum ) on the eastern side . Fauna ( edit ) Terrestrial invertebrates ( edit ) Two invertebrate taxa are endemic to Lundy , with both feeding on the endemic Lundy cabbage ( Coincya wrightii ) . These are the Lundy cabbage flea beetle ( Psylliodes luridipennis ) , a species of leaf beetle ( family Chrysomelidae ) and the Lundy cabbage weevil ( Ceutorhynchus contractus var . pallipes ) , a variety of true weevil ( family Curculionidae ) . In addition , the Lundy cabbage is the main host of a flightless form of Psylliodes napi ( another species of flea beetle ) and a wide variety of other invertebrate species which are not endemic to the island . Another resident invertebrate of note is Atypus affinis , the only British species of purseweb spider . Birds ( edit ) The number of puffins ( Fratercula arctica ) , which may have given the island its name , declined in the late 20th and early 21st centuries , with the 2005 breeding population estimated to be only two or three pairs , as a consequence of depredations by brown and black rats ( Rattus rattus ) ( which have now been eliminated ) and possibly also as a result of commercial fishing for sand eels , the puffins ' principal prey . Since 2005 , the breeding numbers have been slowly increasing . Adults were seen taking fish into four burrows in 2007 , and six burrows in 2008 . A group of six puffins on Lundy , June 2008 As an isolated island on major migration routes , Lundy has a rich bird life and is a popular site for birdwatching . Large numbers of black - legged kittiwake ( Rissa tridactyla ) nest on the cliffs , as do razorbill ( Alca torda ) , guillemot ( Uria aalge ) , herring gull ( Larus argentatus ) , lesser black - backed gull ( Larus fuscus ) , fulmar ( Fulmarus glacialis ) , shag ( Phalacrocorax aristotelis ) , oystercatcher ( Haematopus ostralegus ) , skylark ( Alauda arvensis ) , meadow pipit ( Anthus pratensis ) , common blackbird ( Turdus merula ) , robin ( Erithacus rubecula ) and linnet ( Carduelis cannabina ) . There are also smaller populations of peregrine falcon ( Falco peregrinus ) and raven ( Corvus corax ) . Lundy has attracted many vagrant birds , in particular species from North America . The island 's bird list totals 317 species . This has included the following species , each of which represents the sole British record : Ancient murrelet , eastern phoebe and eastern towhee . Records of bimaculated lark , American robin and common yellowthroat were also firsts for Britain ( American robin has also occurred two further times on Lundy ) . Veerys in 1987 and 1997 were Britain 's second and fourth records , a Rüppell 's warbler in 1979 was Britain 's second , an eastern Bonelli 's warbler in 2004 was Britain 's fourth , and a black - faced bunting in 2001 Britain 's third . Other British Birds rarities that have been sighted ( single records unless otherwise indicated ) are : Little bittern , glossy ibis , gyrfalcon ( 3 records ) , little and Baillon 's crakes , collared pratincole , semipalmated ( 5 records ) , least ( 2 records ) , white - rumped and Baird 's ( 2 records ) sandpipers , Wilson 's phalarope , laughing gull , bridled tern , Pallas 's sandgrouse , great spotted , black - billed and yellow - billed ( 3 records ) cuckoos , European roller , olive - backed pipit , citrine wagtail , Alpine accentor , thrush nightingale , red - flanked bluetail , black - eared ( 2 records ) and desert wheatears , White 's , Swainson 's ( 3 records ) , and grey - cheeked ( 2 records ) thrushes , Sardinian ( 2 records ) , Arctic ( 3 records ) , Radde 's and western Bonelli 's warblers , Isabelline and lesser grey shrikes , red - eyed vireo ( 7 records ) , two - barred crossbill , yellow - rumped and blackpoll warblers , yellow - breasted ( 2 records ) and black - headed ( 3 records ) buntings , rose - breasted grosbeak ( 2 records ) , bobolink and Baltimore oriole ( 2 records ) . Mammals ( edit ) Sika Deer Lundy is home to an unusual range of mammals , almost all introduced , including a distinct breed of wild pony , the Lundy pony . Until recently , Lundy and the Shiant Isles in the Hebrides were the only two places in the UK where the black rat ( Rattus rattus ) could be found regularly . In the rest of the United Kingdom they have largely been replaced by brown rats except for occasional sightings in port towns and the Thames Estuary . It has since been eradicated on the island , in order to protect the nesting seabirds . Other species which have made the island their home include the grey seal ( Halichoerus grypus ) , Sika deer ( Cervus nippon ) , pygmy shrew ( Sorex minutus ) and feral goats ( Capra aegagrus hircus ) . Unusually , 20 % of the rabbits ( Leporidae ) on the island are melanistic compared with 4 % which is typical in the UK . In mid-2006 the rabbit population was devastated by myxomatosis , leaving only 60 pairs from the previous 15 -- 20,000 individuals . Soay sheep ( Ovis aries ) on the island have been shown to vary their behaviours according to nutritional requirements , the distribution of food and the risk of predation . Marine habitat ( edit ) In 1971 a proposal was made by the Lundy Field Society to establish a marine reserve , and the survey was led by Dr Keith Hiscock , supported by a team of students from Bangor University . Provision for the establishment of statutory Marine Nature Reserves was included in the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 , and on 21 November 1986 the Secretary of State for the Environment announced the designation of a statutory reserve at Lundy . There is an outstanding variety of marine habitats and wildlife , and a large number of rare and unusual species in the waters around Lundy , including some species of seaweed , branching sponges , sea fans and cup corals . In 2003 the first statutory No Take Zone ( NTZ ) for marine nature conservation in the UK was set up in the waters to the east of Lundy island . In 2008 this was declared as having been successful in several ways including the increasing size and number of lobsters within the reserve , and potential benefits for other marine wildlife . However , the no take zone has received a mixed reaction from local fishermen . On 12 January 2010 the island became Britain 's first Marine Conservation Zone designated under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 , designed to help to preserve important habitats and species . Transport ( edit ) The Lundy ferry Oldenburg sails into Ilfracombe Harbour , North Devon , past inflatable ThunderCat powerboats waiting to begin an offshore race . To the island ( edit ) There are two ways to get to Lundy , depending on the time of year . In the summer months ( April to October ) visitors are carried on the Landmark Trust 's own vessel , MS Oldenburg , which sails from both Bideford and Ilfracombe . Sailings are usually three days a week , on Tuesdays , Thursdays and Saturdays , with additional sailings on Wednesdays during July and August . The voyage takes on average two hours , depending on ports , tides and weather . The Oldenburg was first registered in Bremen , Germany in 1958 and has been sailing to Lundy since her engine was replaced in 1985 . In the winter months ( November to March ) , the Oldenburg is out of service , and the island is served by a scheduled helicopter service from Hartland Point . The helicopter operates on Mondays and Fridays , with flights between 12 noon and 2 pm . The heliport is a field at the top of Hartland Point , not far from the Beacon . A grass runway of 435 by 30 yards ( 398 by 27 m ) is available , allowing access to small STOL aircraft skilfully piloted . Properly equipped and experienced canoeists can kayak to the island from Hartland Point or Lee Bay . This takes 4 to 6 hours depending on wind and tides . Entrance to Lundy is free for anyone arriving by scheduled transport . Visitors arriving by non-scheduled transport are charged an entrance fee , currently ( May 2016 ) £ 6.00 , and there is an additional charge payable by those using light aircraft . Anyone arriving on Lundy by non-scheduled transport is also charged an additional fee for transporting luggage to the top of the island . On the island ( edit ) In 2007 , Derek Green , Lundy 's general manager , launched an appeal to raise £ 250,000 to save the mile - long Beach Road , which had been damaged by heavy rain and high seas . The road was built in the first half of the 19th century to provide people and goods with safe access to the top of the island , 120 metres ( 394 ft ) above the only jetty . The fund - raising was completed on 10 March 2009 .

Admiralty number A5618 NGA number 6248 ARLHS number ENG - 075 Managing agent Trinity House Heritage Site of Special Scientific Interest Foundations for a lighthouse on Lundy were laid in 1787 , but the first lighthouse ( now known as the Old Light ) was not built until Trinity House obtained a 999 - year lease in 1819 . The 97 - foot ( 30 m ) granite tower , on the summit of Chapel Hill , was designed by Daniel Asher Alexander , and built by Joseph Nelson at a cost of £ 36,000 . Because the site , Beacon Hill , is 469 feet ( 143 m ) above sea level , the highest base for a lighthouse in Britain , the light was often obscured by fog . To counter this problem , the Fog Signal Battery was built about 1861 . The lighthouse had two lights ; the lower a fixed white light and the upper a quick flashing white light , showing every 60 seconds . However , this quick revolution gave the impression it was a fixed light with no flashes detectable . This may have contributed to the grounding , at Cefn Sidan , of the La Jeune Emma , bound from Martinique to Cherbourg in 1828 . 13 of the 19 on board drowned , including Adeline Coquelin , the 12 - year - old niece of Napoleon Bonaparte 's divorced wife Joséphine de Beauharnais . Owing to the ongoing complaints about the difficulty of sighting the light in fog , the lighthouse was abandoned in 1897 when the North and South Lundy lighthouses were built . The Old Light and the associated keepers ' houses are kept open by the Landmark Trust . The current North Lundy and South Lundy lighthouses were built in 1897 at the extremities of the island to replace the old lighthouse . Both lighthouses are painted white and are run and maintained by Trinity House . The North lighthouse is 56 feet ( 17 m ) tall , slightly taller than the south one , and has a focal plane of 157 ft ( 48 m ) . It produces a quick white flash every 15 seconds , and was originally lit by a 75 mm ( 3 in ) petroleum vapour burner . Oil was lifted up from a small quay using a sled and winch , and then transported using a small railway ( again winch - powered ) . The remains of this can be still seen , but it was abandoned in 1971 and the lighthouse now uses a discharge bulb fed from the island 's main supply . The northern light was modernised in 1991 and converted to solar power , since when the light has been mounted on top of the old fog horn building rather than in the tower . The South lighthouse has a focal length of 174 feet ( 53 m ) and a quick white flash every 5 seconds . It can be seen as a small white dot from Hartland Point , 11 miles to the south east . It was automated and converted to solar power in 1994 . The old fresnel lens has been in use since 2001 in Dungeness Lighthouse . Electricity supply ( edit ) There is a small power station comprising three Cummins B and C series diesel engines , offering an approx 150 kVa 3 phase supply to most of the island buildings . Waste heat from the engine jackets is used for a district heating pipe . There are also plans to collect the waste heat from the engine exhaust heat gases to feed into the district heat network to improve the efficiency further . The Power is normally switched off between 0000 and 0630 . Staying on the island ( edit ) Lundy has 23 holiday properties , sleeping between one and 14 people . These include a lighthouse , a castle and a Victorian mansion . Many of the buildings are constructed from the island 's granite . The island also has a campsite , at the south of the island in the field next to the shop . It has hot and cold running water , with showers and toilets , in an adjacent building . The island is popular with rock climbers , having the UK 's longest continuous slab climb , `` The Devil 's Slide '' . Administration ( edit ) The island is an unparished area of Torridge district of the English county of Devon . It forms part of the ward of Clovelly Bay . It is part of the constituency electing the Member of Parliament for Torridge and West Devon and the South West England constituency for the European Parliament . Stamps ( edit ) Owing to a decline in population and lack of interest in the mail contract , the GPO ended its presence on Lundy at the end of 1927 . For the next two years Harman handled the mail to and from the island without charge . On 1 November 1929 , he decided to offset the expense by issuing two postage stamps ( 1⁄2 puffin in pink and 1 puffin in blue ) . One puffin is equivalent to one English penny . The printing of Puffin stamps continues to this day and they are available at face value from the Lundy Post Office . One used to have to stick Lundy stamps on the back of the envelope ; but Royal Mail now allows their use on the front of the envelope , but placed on the left side , with the right side reserved for the Royal Mail postage stamp or stamps . Lundy stamps are cancelled by a circular Lundy handstamp . The face value of the Lundy Island stamps covers the cost of postage of letters and postcards from the island to the Bideford Post Office on the mainland for onward delivery to their final destination anywhere in the world . The Lundy Post Office gets a bulk rate discount for mailing letters and postcards from Bideford . Lundy stamps are a type of postage stamp known to philatelists as `` local carriage labels '' or `` local stamps '' . Issues of increasing value were made over the years , including air mail , featuring a variety of people . Many are now highly sought - after by collectors . The market value of the early issues has risen substantially over the years . For the many thousands of annual visitors Lundy stamps have become part of the collection of the many British Local Posts collectors . The first catalogues of these stamps included Gerald Rosen 's 1970 Catalogue of British Local Stamps . Later specialist catalogues include Stamps of Lundy Island by Stanley Newman , first published in 1984 , Phillips Modern British Locals CD Catalogue , published since 2003 , and Labbe 's Specialised Guide to Lundy Island Stamps , published since 2005 and now in its 11th Edition . Labbe 's Guide is considered the gold standard of Lundy catalogues owing to its extensive approach to varieties , errors , specialised items and `` fantasy '' issues . There is a comprehensive collection of these stamps in the Chinchen Collection , donated by Barry Chinchen to the British Library Philatelic Collections in 1977 and now held by the British Library . This is also the home of the Landmark Trust Lundy Island Philatelic Archive which includes artwork , texts and essays as well as postmarking devices and issued stamps . In popular culture ( edit ) A ship named Lundy Island , 3,095 tons , was captured and sunk on 10 January 1917 by the Seeadler , a windjammer under the German navy , but flying the Norwegian flag . Lundy island is prominently featured in John Bellairs ' juvenile gothic mystery , The Secret of the Underground Room . The plot highlights several geographical and historical points of interest , including the ( De ) Marisco family . The book was first published in 1990 . Lundy features in the 1919 novel Last of the Grenvilles by Frederick Harcourt Kitchin ( under his pseudonym , Bennett Copplestone ) See also ( edit ) Barbara Whitaker , former warden .

Foreign trade of the United States comprises the international imports and exports of the United States , one of the world 's most significant economic markets . The country is among the top three global importers and exporters . US Merchandise Trade Balance ( 2011 ) Merchandise exports ( 1870 -- 1992 ) US manufacturing employment The regulation of trade is constitutionally vested in the United States Congress . After the Great Depression , the country emerged as among the most significant global trade policy - makers , and it is now a partner to a number of international trade agreements , including the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ( GATT ) and the World Trade Organization ( WTO ) . Gross U.S. assets held by foreigners were $16.3 trillion as of the end of 2006 ( over 100 % of GDP ) .

Within that , the trade with Europe and Asia is predominant . To fulfill the demands of the industrial sector , the country has to import mineral oil and iron ore on a large scale . Machinery , cotton yarn , toys , mineral oil , lubricants , steel , tea , sugar , coffee , and many more items are traded . The country 's export list includes food grains like wheat , corn , and soybean . Aeroplane , cars , computers , paper , and machine tools required for different industries . In 2016 United States current account balance was - $469,400,000,000 . History ( edit ) Main articles : List of tariffs in the United States , Tariffs in United States history , and Protectionism in the United States See also : American Civil War The Constitution gives Congress express power over the imposition of tariffs and the regulation of international trade . As a result , Congress can enact laws including those that : establish tariff rates ; implement trade agreements ; provide remedies against unfairly traded imports ; control exports of sensitive technology ; and extend tariff preferences to imports from developing countries . Over time , and under carefully prescribed circumstances , Congress has delegated some of its trade authority to the Executive Branch . Congress , however , has , in some cases , kept tight reins on the use of this authority by requiring that certain trade laws and programs be renewed ; and by requiring the Executive Branch to issue reports to Congress to monitor the implementation of the trade laws and programs . The authority of Congress to regulate international trade is set out in Article I , Section 8 , Paragraph 1 of the United States Constitution : The Congress shall have power To lay and collect Taxes , Duties , Imposts and Excises , to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and to promote the general Welfare of the United States ; but all Duties , Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States ; The Embargo Act of 1807 was designed to force Britain to rescind its restrictions on American trade , but failed , and was repealed in early 1809 . During the Civil War period , leaders of the Confederacy were confident that Britain would come to their aid because of British reliance on Southern cotton . The Union was able to avoid this , through skillful use of diplomacy and threats to other aspects of European - U.S. trade relations . According to Michael Lind , protectionism was America 's de facto policy from the passage of the Tariff of 1816 to World War II , `` switching to free trade only in 1945 '' . It has been argued that one of the underlying motivations for the American Revolution itself was a desire to industrialize , and reverse the trade deficit with Britain , which had grown by a factor of ten in the space of a few decades , from £ 67,000 ( 1721 -- 30 ) to £ 739,000 ( 1761 -- 70 ) . According to Paul Bairoch , since the end of the 18th century , the United States has been `` the homeland and bastion of modern protectionism '' . In fact , the United States never adhered to free trade until 1945 . A very protectionist policy was adopted as soon as the presidency of George Washington by Alexander Hamilton , the first US Secretary of the Treasury from 1789 to 1795 and author of the text Report on Manufactures which called for customs barriers to allow American industrial development and to help protect infant industries , including bounties ( subsidies ) derived in part from those tariffs . This text was one of the references of the German economist Friedrich List ( 1789 -- 1846 ) . The United States has become the main opposition to free trade and this policy remained throughout the 19th century and the overall level of tariffs was very high ( close to 50 % in 1830 ) . The victory of the protectionist states of the North over the free trade southern states at the end of the Civil War ( 1861 -- 1865 ) perpetuated this trend , even during periods of free trade in Europe ( 1860 -- 1880 ) . Hamilton explained that despite an initial `` increase of price '' caused by regulations that control foreign competition , once a `` domestic manufacture has attained to perfection ... it invariably becomes cheaper . '' George Washington signed the Tariff Act of 1789 , making it the Republic 's second ever piece of legislation . Increasing the domestic supply of manufactured goods , particularly war materials , was seen as an issue of national security . Washington and Hamilton believed that political independence was predicated upon economic independence . In the 19th century , statesmen such as Senator Henry Clay continued Hamilton 's themes within the Whig Party under the name `` American System . '' The fledgling Republican Party led by Abraham Lincoln , who called himself a `` Henry Clay tariff Whig '' , strongly opposed free trade , and implemented a 44 - percent tariff during the Civil War -- in part to pay for railroad subsidies and for the war effort , and to protect favored industries . From 1871 to 1913 , `` the average U.S. tariff on dutiable imports never fell below 38 percent ( and ) gross national product ( GNP ) grew 4.3 percent annually , twice the pace in free trade Britain and well above the U.S. average in the 20th century , '' notes Alfred Eckes Jr. , chairman of the U.S. International Trade Commission under President Reagan . In 1896 , the GOP platform pledged to `` renew and emphasize our allegiance to the policy of protection , as the bulwark of American industrial independence , and the foundation of development and prosperity . This true American policy taxes foreign products and encourages home industry . It puts the burden of revenue on foreign goods ; it secures the American market for the American producer . It upholds the American standard of wages for the American workingman . '' While the United States has always participated in international trade , it did not take a leading role in global trade policy - making until the Great Depression . Congress and The Executive Branch came into conflict in deciding the mix of trade promotion and protectionism . In order to stimulate employment , Congress passed the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act of 1934 , allowing the executive branch to negotiate bilateral trade agreements for a fixed period of time . During the 1930s the amount of bilateral negotiation under this act was fairly limited , and consequently did little to expand global trade . Near the end of the Second World War U.S. policy makers began to experiment on a broader level . In the 1940s , working with the British government , the United States developed two innovations to expand and govern trade among nations : the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ( GATT ) and the International Trade Organization ( ITO ) . GATT was a temporary multilateral agreement designed to provide a framework of rules and a forum to negotiate trade barrier reductions among nations . The growing importance of international trade led to the establishment of the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative in 1963 by Executive Order 11075 , originally called The Office of the Special Representative for Trade Negotiations . Trade policy ( edit ) China gains entry to the WTO as Most favoured nation in early 2000s . United States trade policy has varied widely through various American historical and industrial periods . As a major developed nation , the U.S. has relied heavily on the import of raw materials and the export of finished goods . Because of the significance for American economy and industry , much weight has been placed on trade policy by elected officials and business leaders . The 1920s marked a decade of economic growth in the United States following a Classical supply side policy . U.S. President Warren Harding signed the Emergency Tariff of 1921 and the Fordney -- McCumber Tariff of 1922 . Harding 's policies reduced taxes and protected U.S. business and agriculture . Following the Great Depression and World War II , the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference brought the Bretton Woods currency agreement followed by the economy of the 1950s and 1960s . In 1971 , President Richard Nixon ended U.S. ties to Bretton Woods , leaving the U.S. with a floating fiat currency . The stagflation of the 1970s saw a U.S. economy characterized by slower GDP growth . In 1988 , the United States ranked first in the world in the Economist Intelligence Unit `` quality of life index '' and third in the Economic Freedom of the World Index . Over the long run , nations with trade surpluses tend also to have a savings surplus . The U.S. generally has developed lower savings rates than its trading partners , which have tended to have trade surpluses . Germany , France , Japan , and Canada have maintained higher savings rates than the U.S. over the long run . Some economists believe that GDP and employment can be dragged down by an over-large deficit over the long run . Others believe that trade deficits are good for the economy . The opportunity cost of a forgone tax base may outweigh perceived gains , especially where artificial currency pegs and manipulations are present to distort trade . In 2006 , the primary economic concerns focused on : high national debt ( $9 trillion ) , high non-bank corporate debt ( $9 trillion ) , high mortgage debt ( $9 trillion ) , high financial institution debt ( $12 trillion ) , high unfunded Medicare liability ( $30 trillion ) , high unfunded Social Security liability ( $12 trillion ) , high external debt ( amount owed to foreign lenders ) and a serious deterioration in the United States net international investment position ( NIIP ) ( − 24 % of GDP ) , high trade deficits , and a rise in illegal immigration . These issues have raised concerns among economists and unfunded liabilities were mentioned as a serious problem facing the United States in the President 's 2006 State of the Union address . On June 26 , 2009 , Jeff Immelt , the CEO of General Electric , called for the U.S. to increase its manufacturing base employment to 20 % of the workforce , commenting that the U.S. has outsourced too much in some areas and can no longer rely on the financial sector and consumer spending to drive demand . U.S. deficit by country ( in billions , goods only ) , 2014 In 1985 , the U.S. had just begun a growing trade deficit with China . During the 1990s , the U.S. trade deficit became a more excessive long - run trade deficit , mostly with Asia . By 2012 , the U.S. trade deficit , fiscal budget deficit , and federal debt increased to record or near - record levels following the implementation of broad unconditional or unilateral U.S. free trade policies and formal trade agreements in the preceding decades . The US last had a trade surplus in 1975 . However , recessions may cause short - run anomalies to rising trade deficits . The balance of trade in the United States has been a concern among economists and business people . Warren Buffett , founder of Berkshire Hathaway , was quoted in the Associated Press ( January 20 , 2006 ) as saying `` The U.S. trade deficit is a bigger threat to the domestic economy than either the federal budget deficit or consumer debt and could lead to political turmoil ... Right now , the rest of the world owns $3 trillion more of us than we own of them . '' In both a 1987 guest editorial to the Omaha - World Herald and a more detailed 2003 Fortune article , Buffett proposed a tool called Import Certificates as a solution to the United States ' problem and ensure balanced trade . `` The rest of the world owns a staggering $2.5 trillion more of the U.S. than we own of other countries . Some of this $2.5 trillion is invested in claim checks -- U.S. bonds , both governmental and private -- and some in such assets as property and equity securities . '' Today the United States ' largest trading partner is Canada . China has seen substantial economic growth in the past 50 years and though a nuclear - security summit that took place in early 2010 President Obama hoped to insure another 50 years of growth between the two countries . On April 19 , 2010 , President Obama met with China 's President Hu Jintao to discuss trade policies between the two countries . Though the US trade deficit has been stubborn , and tends to be the largest by dollar volume of any nation , even the most extreme months as measured by percent of GDP there are nations that are far more noteworthy . Case in point , post 2015 Nepal earthquake , Nepal 's trade gap ( in goods & services ) was a shocking 33.3 % of GDP although heavy remittances considerably offset that number . According to the US Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis ( BEA ) , January 27 , 2017 report , the GDP `` increased 4.0 percent , or $185.5 billion , in the fourth quarter of 2016 to a level of $18,860.8 billion . '' Customs territory ( edit ) The main customs territory of the United States includes the 50 states , the District of Columbia , and the territory of Puerto Rico , with the exception of over 200 foreign trade zones designated to encourage economic activity . People and goods entering this territory are subject to inspection by U.S. Customs and Border Protection . The remaining insular areas are separate customs territories administered largely by local authorities : American Samoa Guam Northern Mariana Islands United States Minor Outlying Islands ( mostly uninhabited ) United States Virgin Islands Transportation of certain living things or agricultural products may be prohibited even within a customs territory . This is enforced by U.S. Customs and Border Protection , the federal Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service , and even state authorities such as the California Department of Food and Agriculture . Investment in the United States ( edit ) Gross U.S. assets held by foreigners were $16.3 trillion as of the end of 2006 ( over 100 % of GDP ) . The U.S. net international investment position ( NIIP ) became a negative $2.5 trillion at the end of 2006 , or about minus 19 % of GDP . This figure rises as long as the US maintains an imbalance in trade , when the value of imports substantially outweighs the value of exports . This external debt does not result mostly from loans to Americans or the American government , nor is it consumer debt owed to non-US creditors . It is an accounting entry that largely represents US domestic assets purchased with trade dollars and owned overseas , largely by US trading partners . For countries like the United States , a large net external debt is created when the value of foreign assets ( debt and equity ) held by domestic residents is less than the value of domestic assets held by foreigners . In simple terms , as foreigners buy property in the US , this adds to the external debt . When this occurs in greater amounts than Americans buying property overseas , nations like the United States are said to be debtor nations , but this is not conventional debt like a loan obtained from a bank . Account balance as of 2006 If the external debt represents foreign ownership of domestic assets , the result is that rental income , stock dividends , capital gains and other investment income is received by foreign investors , rather than by U.S. residents . On the other hand , when American debt is held by overseas investors , they receive interest and principal repayments . As the trade imbalance puts extra dollars in hands outside of the U.S. , these dollars may be used to invest in new assets ( foreign direct investment , such as new plants ) or be used to buy existing American assets such as stocks , real estate and bonds . With a mounting trade deficit , the income from these assets increasingly transfers overseas . Of major concern is the magnitude of the NIIP ( or net external debt ) , which is larger than those of most national economies . Fueled by the sizable trade deficit , the external debt is so large that economists are concerned over whether the current account deficit is unsustainable . A complicating factor is that trading partners such as China , depend for much of their economy on exports , especially to America . There are many controversies about the current trade and external debt situation , and it is arguable whether anyone understands how these dynamics will play out in a historically unprecedented floating exchange rate system . While various aspects of the U.S. economic profile have precedents in the situations of other countries ( notably government debt as a percentage of GDP ) , the sheer size of the U.S. , and the integral role of the US economy in the overall global economic environment , create considerable uncertainty about the future . According to economists such as Larry Summers and Paul Krugman , the enormous inflow of capital from China is one of the causes of the global financial crisis of 2008 -- 2009 . China had been buying huge quantities of dollar assets to keep its currency value low and its export economy humming , which caused American interest rates and saving rates to remain artificially low . These low interest rates , in turn , contributed to the United States housing bubble because when mortgages are cheap , house prices are inflated as people can afford to borrow more . Trade agreements ( edit ) United States Free - trade areas 2008 Exports , Imports 2009 Exports , Imports The United States is a partner to many trade agreements , shown in the chart below and the map to the right . The United States has also negotiated many Trade and Investment Framework Agreements , which are often precursors to free trade agreements . It has also negotiated many bilateral investment treaties , which concern the movement of capital rather than goods . The U.S. is a member of several international trade organizations . The purpose of joining these organizations is to come to agreement with other nations on trade issues , although there is domestic political controversy to whether or not the U.S. government should be making these trade agreements in the first place . These organizations include : World Trade Organization Organization of American States Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America United States free - trade agreements Existing Bilateral Australia Bahrain Chile Colombia Israel Jordan Morocco Oman Panama Peru Singapore South Korea Multilateral Dominican Republic -- Central America Free Trade Agreement ( CAFTA - DR ) North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA ) Proposed Bilateral Ecuador Ghana Indonesia Kenya Kuwait Malaysia Mauritius Mozambique New Zealand Taiwan United Arab Emirates Uruguay Multilateral Middle East Free Trade Area ( MEFTA ) Transatlantic Free Trade Area ( TAFTA ) Trade in Services Agreement ( TISA ) Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership ( TTIP ) Suspended Free Trade Area of the Americas ( FTAA ) ( no interest since 2005 ) Southern African Customs Union ( on hold since 2006 ) Thailand ( on hold after 2006 coup ) Qatar ( on hold since 2006 ) Defunct or expired Canada ( became part of North American Free Trade Agreement ) Canada -- United States Automotive Products Agreement Trans - Pacific Partnership ( TPP ) Internal institutions ( edit ) American foreign trade is regulated internally by : United States Court of International Trade United States International Trade Commission Imports and exports ( edit ) See also : List of imports of the United States , List of exports of the United States , and List of the largest trading partners of the United States Proportion of US exports to imports 1960 -- 2004 US exports of goods and services 1960 -- 2004 US imports of goods and services 1960 -- 2004 US exported $1.44 trillion to other countries in 2014 US exports of goods by country in 2004 ( does not include exports of services ) US imports of goods by country in 2004 ( does not include imports of services ) US imported $2.13 trillion from other countries in 2014 See also ( edit ) Business and economics portal United States portal Comparison of imports vs exports of the United States Federal Trade Commission Act Trade Act of 2002 Trading with the Enemy Act 1917 Trade wars Tariff in American history Mergers References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Ravikumar , B. ; Shao , Lin . `` Labor Compensation and Labor Productivity : Recent Recoveries and the Long - Term Trend '' .

For the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis , see March of Dimes . The National Flood Insurance Program ( NFIP ) is a program created by the Congress of the United States in 1968 through the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 ( P.L. 90 - 448 ) . The program enables property owners in participating communities to purchase insurance protection , administered by the government , against losses from flooding , and requires flood insurance for all loans or lines of credit that are secured by existing buildings , manufactured homes , or buildings under construction , that are located in a community that participates in the NFIP . This NFIP is designed to provide an insurance alternative to disaster assistance to meet the escalating costs of repairing damage to buildings and their contents caused by floods . As of August 2017 , the program insured about 5 million homes ( down from about 5.5 million homes in April 2010 ) , the majority of which are in Texas and Florida . The cost of the insurance program was fully covered by its premiums until the end of 2004 , but has had to steadily borrow funds since ( primarily due to Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Sandy ) , accumulating $25 billion of debt by August 2017 . Contents ( hide ) 1 Implementation 2 Amendments 3 Floodplain Status Determination Appeals and Changes 3.1 Letter of Map Amendment 3.2 Letter of Map Revision 4 Criticisms 5 References 6 External links Implementation ( edit ) Participation in the NFIP is based on an agreement between local communities and the federal government that states that if a community will adopt and enforce a floodplain management ordinance to reduce future flood risks to new construction in Special Flood Hazard Areas ( SFHA ) , the federal government will make flood insurance available within the community as a financial protection against flood losses . The SFHAs and other risk premium zones applicable to each participating community are depicted on Flood Insurance Rate Maps ( FIRMs ) . The Mitigation Division within the Federal Emergency Management Agency manages the NFIP and oversees the floodplain management and mapping components of the Program . The intent was to reduce future flood damage through community floodplain management ordinances and provide protection for property owners against potential losses through an insurance mechanism that requires a premium to be paid for the protection . In 2003 , the GAO found that repetitive - loss properties cost the program about $200 million annually . Congress originally intended that operating expenses and flood insurance claims be paid for through the premiums collected for flood insurance policies . NFIP borrows from the U.S. Treasury for times when losses are heavy , and these loans are paid back with interest . Between 1978 and year - end 2014 , the U.S. Federal Government has paid more than $51 billion in claims under the National Flood Insurance Program . Amendments ( edit ) The program was first amended by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 , which made the purchase of flood insurance mandatory for the protection of property within SFHAs . In 1982 , the Act was amended by the Coastal Barrier Resources Act ( CBRA ) . The CBRA enacted a set of maps depicting the John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier Resources System ( CBRS ) in which federal flood insurance is unavailable for new or significantly improved structures . The National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 codified the Community Rating System ( an incentive program that encourages communities to exceed the minimal federal requirements for development within floodplains ) within the NFIP . The program was further amended by the Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004 , with the goal of reducing `` losses to properties for which repetitive flood insurance claim payments have been made . '' The Biggert -- Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 ( Biggert - Waters ) modified the NFIP . At the conclusion of 2011 , as Congress passed Biggert - Waters , the NFIP cumulative debt was over $17 billion . A core principle of Biggert - Waters was to change the NFIP premiums to match actuarial risk - based premiums that better reflected the expected losses and real risk of flooding . These changes included removing discounts to many policies which were being sold below actual actuarial risk targets and eliminating `` grandfathering '' of older rates . In January 2014 , the United States Senate passed the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014 ( S. 1926 ; 113th Congress ) . This bill changed the process used to alter subsidized premiums and reinstated grandfathering of lower rates ; effectively delaying the increases in flood insurance premiums to obtain risk - based premiums under Biggert - Waters and spreading the cost of the lost premiums over all of the remaining policy holders . The National Flood Insurance Program was $24 billion in debt at the beginning of 2014 as a result of Hurricanes Katrina , Rita and Sandy . The passage of the HFIAA described above has concerned insurance and environmental observers that the delay in implementation of actuarial rates will leave taxpayers exposed to additional losses . Floodplain status determination appeals and changes ( edit ) Letter of Map Amendment ( edit ) Insufficient map topographic detail or accuracy can result in the unwarranted determination of Special Flood Hazard Area ( SFHA ) . An application for a Letter of Map Amendment ( LOMA ) uses an Elevation Certificate ( prepared by a Registered Land Surveyor or Registered Professional Engineer ) to ask FEMA to remove the flood insurance requirement on individual properties . Letter of Map Revision ( edit ) For multiple properties or a larger area , an application for a Letter of Map Revision can be submitted when the landscape topography is different from that shown on the floodplain boundary and / or flood heights shown on the FIRM and the Flood Insurance Study . A Letter of Map Revision based on Fill ( LOMR - F ) is used when landscape topography is altered by humans , usually to increase the land elevation and remove land from the floodplain . A Conditional Letter of Map Revision ( CLOMR ) and Conditional Letter of Map Revision Based on Fill ( CLOMR - F ) are strongly advised as a mechanism to obtain FEMA feedback on the project before site changes are made , especially in light of the increasing attention on the nexus between the NFIP and the Endangered Species Act .

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( January 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Before 1950 flood insurance was part of the standard homeowners ' insurance policy . During the 1950s increasingly high correlation of losses by holders of flood policies of the same company caused many insurance companies to begin excluding flood coverage from standard insurance policies , selling flood insurance separately . Over time , insurance premiums collected were insufficient in covering payouts after major flooding events . In 1968 , the National Flood Insurance Act established the National Flood Insurance Program ( NFIP ) , which allows property owners to purchase insurance from the U.S. government that covers certain losses from flooding . This insurance is not set by the market risk valuation . It is less expensive than the private insurance company rate would be . This is accomplished either by the program running a deficit and borrowing money or by subsidies from the national government . Either way , the property owners with NFIP policies are receiving government subsidies to live in areas with high flood risk . Property losses stemming from flood damage were largely the responsibility of the property owner , although the consequences were sometimes mitigated through provisions for disaster aid . Today , owners of property in flood plains frequently receive disaster aid and payment for insured losses , which in many ways negates the original intent of the NFIP . Consequently , these policy decisions have escalated losses stemming from floods in recent years , both in terms of property and life . Moreover , certain provisions within the NFIP increase the likelihood that flood - prone properties will be occupied by the people least likely to be in a position to recover from flood disasters , which further increases demand for aid . This is an example of adverse selection . Some factors contributing to increased demand for aid are : Flood insurance for properties in flood prone areas is mandatory only to secure loans , which makes it somewhat more likely that flood prone properties will be owned by seniors who have paid off their mortgages , or investors who have acquired the property for rental income . Flood insurance only covers losses for the owner of the property , and claims are subject to caps , which further increases the likelihood that the property will be occupied by renters rather than the property owner . Flood prone properties are more likely to be offered for rent because of the owners ' increased risks and / or costs associated with occupying the property themselves . Flood prone properties are more likely to be offered for rent at a discount , which attracts lower income groups , seniors , and infirm groups . According to critics of the program , the government 's subsidized insurance plan `` encouraged building , and rebuilding , in vulnerable coastal areas and floodplains . '' Stephen Ellis , of the group Taxpayers for Common Sense , points to `` properties that flooded 17 or 18 times that were still covered under the federal insurance program '' without premiums going up .

what is the only fruit that does not have seeds | [

] | https://en.wikipedia.org//w/index.php?title=Seedless_fruit&oldid=796934080 | Seedless fruit - wikipedia Seedless fruit Jump to : navigation , search Seedless watermelon A seedless fruit is a fruit developed to possess no mature seeds . As consumption of seedless fruits is generally easier and more convenient , they are considered commercially valuable . Most commercially produced seedless fruits have been developed from plants whose fruits normally contain numerous relatively large hard seeds distributed throughout the flesh of the fruit . Varieties ( edit ) Common varieties of seedless fruits include watermelons , tomatoes , grapes ( such as Termarina rossa ) , and bananas . Additionally , there are numerous seedless citrus fruits , such as oranges , lemons and limes . The term `` seedless fruit '' is biologically somewhat contradictory , since fruits are usually defined botanically as mature ovaries containing seeds . Seedless fruits can develop in one of two ways : either the fruit develops without fertilization ( parthenocarpy ) , or pollination triggers fruit development , but the ovules or embryos abort without producing mature seeds ( stenospermocarpy ) . Seedless banana and watermelon fruits are produced on triploid plants , whose three sets of chromosomes make it very unlikely for meiosis to produce fertile gametes . This is because one of the three copies of each chromosome ca n't pair with another appropriate chromosome before separating into daughter cells , so these extra third copies end up randomly distributed between the two daughter cells from meiosis 1 , resulting in the ( usually ) swiftly lethal aneuploidy condition . Such plants can arise by spontaneous mutation or by hybridization between diploid and tetraploid individuals of the same or different species . Some species , such as tomato , pineapple , and cucumber , produce seedless fruit if not pollinated , but will produce seeded fruit if pollination occurs . Lacking seeds , and thus the capacity to propagate via the fruit , the plants are generally propagated vegetatively from cuttings , by grafting , or in the case of bananas , from `` pups '' ( offsets ) . In such cases the resulting plants are genetically identical clones . By contrast , seedless watermelons are grown from seeds . These seeds are produced by crossing diploid and tetraploid lines of watermelon , with the resulting seeds producing sterile triploid plants . Fruit development is triggered by pollination , so these plants must be grown alongside a diploid strain to provide pollen . Triploid plants with seedless fruits can also be produced using endosperm culture for the regeneration of triploid plantlets from endosperm tissue via somatic embryogenesis . One disadvantage of most seedless crops is a significant reduction in the amount of genetic diversity in the species . As genetically identical clones , a pest or disease that affects one individual is likely capable of affecting each of its clones . For example , the vast majority of commercially produced bananas are cloned from a single source , the Cavendish cultivar , and those plants are currently threatened worldwide by a newly discovered fungal disease to which they are highly susceptible .

Keaton Family Ties character First appearance `` Pilot '' ( episode 1.01 ) Last appearance `` Alex Does n't Live Here Anymore '' ( episode 7.24 ) Created by Gary David Goldberg Portrayed by Michael J. Fox Information Full name Alexander P. Keaton Gender Male Occupation Works on WallStreet Family Steven Keaton ( father ) Elyse Keaton ( mother ) Mallory Keaton ( sister ) Jennifer Keaton ( sister ) Andrew Keaton ( brother ) Nationality American Political party Republican Alex P. Keaton is a fictional character on the United States television sitcom Family Ties , which aired on NBC for seven seasons , from 1982 to 1989 . Family Ties reflected the move in the United States away from the cultural liberalism of the 1960s and 1970s to the conservatism of the 1980s . This was particularly expressed through the relationship between Young Republican Alex ( Michael J. Fox ) and his hippie parents , Steven ( Michael Gross ) and Elyse Keaton ( Meredith Baxter ) . President of the United States Ronald Reagan once stated that Family Ties was his favorite television show . Contents ( hide ) 1 Character arc 1.1 Background 1.2 Storylines 2 Reception and influence 2.1 References in other media 3 Notes 4 References Character arc ( edit ) Background ( edit ) Alex ( Michael J. Fox ) is the oldest child of Steven and Elyse Keaton ( Michael Gross and Meredith Baxter ) , who were baby boomers and Democrats during the early years of the Presidency of Ronald Reagan . Married in 1964 , Steven , a manager in a local Public Broadcasting Service station , and Elyse , an independent architect , were hippies during the 1960s . According to the episode `` A Christmas Story '' in season one , Alex was born in 1965 while his parents were on assignment in Africa , having been influenced by John F. Kennedy to participate in the Peace Corps . Alex has two younger sisters , Mallory ( Justine Bateman ) and Jennifer ( Tina Yothers ) . Mallory was born while her parents were students at the University of California , Berkeley in 1967 , Jennifer was born the night of Richard Nixon 's presidential election in 1972 , and Andrew was born in 1984 . The family lives in suburban Columbus , Ohio . Storylines ( edit ) At the beginning of the series , Alex is a cheeky chappy high - school student who has a passion for economics and wealth . In particular , he is an advocate of supply - side economics . His heroes are Richard Nixon ( going so far as to have a lunchbox with Nixon 's likeness ) , William F. Buckley , Jr. , Ronald Reagan , and Milton Friedman . His favorite television show is Wall $ treet Week and he is an avid reader of The Wall Street Journal . He also enjoys music of the big band and swing era but secretly enjoys rock music ( as seen in the episode `` A , My Name is Alex '' ) . Alex spends the first two seasons of the series preparing to attend Princeton University . While he is attending an on - campus interview , Mallory , who tagged along to pay a surprise visit to her boyfriend , Jeff , who was attending Princeton , has an emotional crisis when she finds Jeff is seeing another woman . Ultimately , Alex chooses to tend to Mallory rather than complete his interview , thus destroying any possibility of attending Princeton and getting into the Ivy League . Alex receives a scholarship to fictional Leland University , which is located close enough for Alex to continue to live at home and commute . Keaton excels at Leland University and teaches an economics course as a teaching assistant . Alex also holds a disdain for nearby Grant College ( which Mallory later attends ) , and goes as far as mocking their classes . While attending Leland , he has two serious girlfriends . His first was artist / feminist , Ellen Reed ( Tracy Pollan , whom Fox later married ) . After they break up , Keaton pursues a liberal psychology student with feminist leanings , Lauren Miller , who was played by Courteney Cox . This relationship ends when he has an affair with music major Martie Brodie ( played by Jane Adams ) while Lauren is out of town . After graduation , Alex accepts a job on Wall Street . Reception and influence ( edit ) Fox in September 1987 . The humor of the series focused on a real cultural divide during the 1980s , between the baby boomers and Generation X . According to Stephen Kiehl , this was when the `` Alex Keaton generation was rejecting the counterculture of the 1960s and embracing the wealth and power that came to define the ' 80s . '' While the youngest , Jennifer ( an athletic tomboy ) shares the values of her parents , Alex and Mallory embraced Reaganomics and consequent conservative values : Alex is a Young Republican and Mallory is a more traditional young woman in contrast to her feminist mother . In the Museum of Broadcast Communications entry for Family Ties , Michael Saenz argues that few shows better demonstrate the resonance between collectively held fictional imagination and what cultural critic Raymond Williams called `` the structure of feeling '' of a historical moment than Family Ties . Airing on NBC from 1982 to 1989 , this highly successful domestic comedy explored one of the intriguing cultural inversions characterizing the Reagan era : a conservative younger generation aspiring to wealth , business success , and traditional values , serves as inheritor to the politically liberal , presumably activist , culturally experimental generation of adults who had experienced the 1960s . The result was a decade , paradoxical by America 's usual post -- World War II standards , in which youthful ambition and social renovation became equated with pronounced political conservatism . `` When else could a boy with a briefcase become a national hero ? '' queried Family Ties ' creator , Gary David Goldberg , during the show 's final year . In 1999 TV Guide ranked him number 17 on its `` 50 Greatest TV Characters of All Time '' list . References in other media ( edit ) When Michael J. Fox left his next series Spin City a decade after Family Ties , his final episodes as a regular ( `` Goodbye : Part 1 & 2 '' , Season 4 , Episodes 25 and 26 ) made numerous allusions to Family Ties . Michael Gross ( Alex 's father Steven ) portrays Michael Patrick Flaherty 's ( Michael J. Fox ) therapist and there is a reference to the therapist 's unseen receptionist named `` Mallory '' . After Flaherty becomes an environmental lobbyist in Washington , he makes a reference to having met the junior senator from Ohio , Alex P. Keaton . Actress Meredith Baxter , who played Alex Keaton 's mother on Family Ties , also played Michael Flaherty 's mother on Spin City . Florida ska / punk band Victims of Circumstance 's debut album Roll the Dice featured a track titled `` Me and Alex P. Keaton '' . The lyrics parody a typical day spent with a modern , socially conservative Republican . LFO 's 1999 single `` Summer Girls '' name - checks `` Alex P. Keaton '' alongside other 1980s cultural references such as Footloose , Home Alone ( which was released in 1990 ) , and New Edition 's song `` Candy Girl '' . In the Family Guy episode `` Movin ' Out ( Brian 's Song ) '' , after Brian gets dumped by Jillian when he admits he did not want to move in with her , Stewie tries to help him get over her by comparing the situation to when Alex P. Keaton lost his own girlfriend before getting another one . Stewie also mentions the fact that Michael J. Fox has Parkinson 's disease .

where is most vascular tissue found in plants | [
""
] | https://en.wikipedia.org//w/index.php?title=Vascular_tissue&oldid=810492978 | Vascular tissue - wikipedia Vascular tissue Jump to : navigation , search Cross section of celery stalk , showing vascular bundles , which include both phloem and xylem . Detail of the vasculature of a bramble leaf . This article is about vascular tissue in plants . For transport in animals , see Circulatory system . Vascular tissue is a complex conducting tissue , formed of more than one cell type , found in vascular plants . The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem . These two tissues transport fluid and nutrients internally . There are also two meristems associated with vascular tissue : the vascular cambium and the cork cambium . All the vascular tissues within a particular plant together constitute the vascular tissue system of that plant . The cells in vascular tissue are typically long and slender . Since the xylem and phloem function in the conduction of water , minerals , and nutrients throughout the plant , it is not surprising that their form should be similar to pipes . The individual cells of phloem are connected end - to - end , just as the sections of a pipe might be . As the plant grows , new vascular tissue differentiates in the growing tips of the plant . The new tissue is aligned with existing vascular tissue , maintaining its connection throughout the plant . The vascular tissue in plants is arranged in long , discrete strands called vascular bundles . These bundles include both xylem and phloem , as well as supporting and protective cells . In stems and roots , the xylem typically lies closer to the interior of the stem with phloem towards the exterior of the stem . In the stems of some Asterales dicots , there may be phloem located inwardly from the xylem as well . Between the xylem and phloem is a meristem called the vascular cambium . This tissue divides off cells that will become additional xylem and phloem . This growth increases the girth of the plant , rather than its length . As long as the vascular cambium continues to produce new cells , the plant will continue to grow more stout . In trees and other plants that develop wood , the vascular cambium allows the expansion of vascular tissue that produces woody growth . Because this growth ruptures the epidermis of the stem , woody plants also have a cork cambium that develops among the phloem . The cork cambium gives rise to thickened cork cells to protect the surface of the plant and reduce water loss . Both the production of wood and the production of cork are forms of secondary growth . In leaves , the vascular bundles are located among the spongy mesophyll . The xylem is oriented toward the adaxial surface of the leaf ( usually the upper side ) , and phloem is oriented toward the abaxial surface of the leaf . This is why aphids are typically found on the underside of the leaves rather than on the top , since the phloem transports sugars manufactured by the plant and they are closer to the lower surface .

where is deforestation occurring in the united states | [
""
] | https://en.wikipedia.org//w/index.php?title=Deforestation_in_the_United_States&oldid=836443867 | Deforestation in the United States - wikipedia Deforestation in the United States Jump to : navigation , search Virgin Forest in United States 1620 1926 Deforestation in the United States is an ongoing environmental issue that attracts protests from environmentalists . Prior to the arrival of European - Americans , about one half of the United States land area was forest , about 1,023,000,000 acres ( 4,140,000 km ) estimated in 1630 . Recently , the Forest Service reported total forestation as 766,000,000 acres ( 3,100,000 km ) in 2012 . The majority of deforestation took place prior to 1910 with the Forest Service reporting the minimum forestation as 721,000,000 acres ( 2,920,000 km ) around 1920 . The forest resources of the United States have remained relatively constant through the 20th century . The 2005 Food and Agriculture Organization ( FAO ) Global Forest Resources Assessment ranked the United States as seventh highest country losing its old growth forests , a vast majority of which were removed prior to the 20th century . Contents ( hide ) 1 After European colonization 2 Current issues 2.1 Species extinctions in the Eastern forests 2.2 Further reading 3 See also 4 References 5 External links After European colonization ( edit ) See also : Forests of the United States For the 300 years following the arrival of Europeans , land was cleared , mostly for agriculture , at a rate that matched that of population growth . For every person added to the population , one to two hectares of land was cultivated . This trend continued until the 1920s when the amount of crop land stabilized in spite of continued population growth . As abandoned farm land reverted to forest the amount of forest land increased reaching a peak in 1963 of 753,000,000 acres ( 3,050,000 km ) . After 1963 there was a gradual decrease through the next few decades which has been reversed with recovery and slight gains in the early 21st century . Gains in forest land have resulted from conversions from crop land and pastures at a higher rate than loss of forest to development . Because urban development is expected to continue , an estimated 93,000 square kilometres ( 23,000,000 acres ) of forest land is projected be lost by 2050 , a 3 % reduction from 1997 . Other qualitative issues have been identified such as the continued loss of old - growth forest , the increased fragmentation of forest lands , and the increased urbanization of forest land . Current issues ( edit ) Map of above ground woody biomass across the United States . Deforestation in the United States is affected by many factors . One such factor is the effect , whether positive or negative , that the logging industry has on forests in the country . Logging in the United States is a hotly debated topic as groups who either support or oppose logging argue over its benefits and negative effects . `` This industry comprises the establishments primarily engaged in one or more of the following : ( 1 ) cutting timber ; ( 2 ) cutting and transporting timber ; ( 3 ) producing wood chips in the field , '' the definition provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency . `` The United States is the second leading producer and consumer of forest products and accounts for about one - fourth of the world 's production and consumption . The United States is also the world 's second largest producer of softwood and hardwood lumber . In 1996 , total annual sales for commercial ( nonfederal ) timber and nontimber forest products was approximately $3.8 billion . '' The biggest issue thought to be facing deforestation in the United States is illegal logging in forests although facts prove otherwise from habitat and forest cover loss annually to catastrophic fire . More than 83 million acres have been lost to wildfire from 2005 to date ( source : U.S. National Interagency Fire Center , https://www.nifc.gov/fireInfo/fireInfo_statistics.html ) The United States Forest Service states that illegal logging is the biggest problem with deforestation because it is nearly impossible to monitor and stop . It goes on throughout the U.S. and other countries and often happens when companies disregard their permits and go beyond what they are allowed to harvest . The Forest Service and EPA work together to make sure that the permits for logging companies in the United States are granted in such a way that the forests are kept healthy and sustainable , and illegal logging reduces the chances that forests will be kept this way . The United States Forest Service is in favor of logging to a certain extent but there are several groups that oppose logging in the United States . Groups such as EarthRoots.org state that logging in the United States and specifically in industrial areas has led to deforestation and near extinction of many animals . Species extinctions in the Eastern forests ( edit ) Forest cover in the Eastern United States reached its lowest point in roughly 1872 with about 48 percent compared to the amount of forest cover in 1620 . Of the 28 forest bird species with habitat exclusively in that forest , Pimm claims four become extinct either wholly or mostly because of habitat loss , the passenger pigeon , Carolina parakeet , ivory - billed woodpecker , and Bachman 's warbler .

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night - Time Front cover of first edition ( quote from Ian McEwan ) Author Mark Haddon Country United Kingdom Language English Genre Mystery novel Publisher Jonathan Cape ( UK ) Doubleday ( US ) Anchor Canada ( Canada ) Publication date May 2003 Media type Print ( hardback and paperback ) Pages 226 ISBN 0 - 09 - 945025 - 9 OCLC 59267481 The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night - Time is a 2003 mystery novel by British writer Mark Haddon . Its title quotes the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes in Arthur Conan Doyle 's 1892 short story `` The Adventure of Silver Blaze '' . Haddon and The Curious Incident won the Whitbread Book Awards for Best Novel and Book of the Year , the Commonwealth Writers ' Prize for Best First Book , and the Guardian Children 's Fiction Prize . Unusually , it was published simultaneously in separate editions for adults and children . The novel is narrated in the first - person perspective by Christopher John Francis Boone , a 15 - year - old boy who describes himself as `` a mathematician with some behavioural difficulties '' living in Swindon , Wiltshire . Although Christopher 's condition is not stated , the book 's blurb refers to Asperger syndrome , high - functioning autism , or savant syndrome . In July 2009 , Haddon wrote on his blog that `` Curious Incident is not a book about Asperger 's ... if anything it 's a novel about difference , about being an outsider , about seeing the world in a surprising and revealing way . The book is not specifically about any specific disorder , '' and that he , Haddon , is not an expert on autism spectrum disorder or Asperger syndrome . The book uses prime numbers to number the chapters , rather than the conventional successive numbers .

The boy discovers the dead body of the neighbour 's dog , Wellington , speared by a garden fork . Mrs Shears , the dog 's owner , calls the police , and Christopher comes under suspicion . When a policeman touches him , he hits the policeman , and is arrested , then released with a police caution . He decides to investigate the dog 's death , despite his father 's orders to stay out of other people 's business . He is severely limited by his fears and difficulties when interpreting the world around him . Throughout his adventures , Christopher records his experiences in a book , which he calls a `` murder mystery novel '' . During his investigation , Christopher meets people whom he has never before encountered , even though they live on the same street , including the elderly Mrs Alexander , who informs Christopher that his mother had an affair with Mr Shears and had been with him for a long time . Christopher 's father , Ed , discovers the book and confiscates it after a brief fight with the boy . While searching for the confiscated book , Christopher uncovers a trove of letters which his mother wrote to him , dated after her supposed death , which his father has also hidden . He is so shocked by his father lying about his mother 's death that he is unable to move , curls up on the bed , vomits and groans for several hours until his father returns home . Ed realizes that Christopher has read the letters and cleans him up . He then confesses that he had indeed lied about Judy 's death and also that it was he who killed Wellington , stating that it was a mistake resulting from his anger after a heated argument with Mrs Shears . Christopher , having lost all trust in his father and fearing that Ed might try to kill him since he had already killed the dog , decides to live with his mother and runs away . He remembers his mother 's address from the letters and embarks on an adventurous trip to London , where his mother lives with Mr Shears . After a long and event - filled journey , evading policemen and feeling ill from the overwhelmingly large amount of information and stimuli from the trains and crowds around him , he finally finds his way to his mother and Mr Shears 's home , and waits outside until they arrive . Judy is delighted that Christopher has come to her ; she is upset that Ed told Christopher that she was dead . Mr Shears does not want Christopher living with them and never did . Very soon after arriving , Christopher wants to return to Swindon in order to take his mathematics A-level . His mother leaves Mr Shears , their relationship having broken down because of their conflict about Christopher and Mr Shears 's rejection of Christopher . Judy then moves into a rented room in Swindon . After an argument with Ed , she agrees to let Ed meet Christopher for daily brief visits . Christopher remains terrified of his father and makes repeated attempts to prevent him from talking . He hopes Ed will be imprisoned for killing Wellington , although his mother explains that for this to happen , Mrs Shears would have to press charges . The story ends with Ed getting Christopher a Golden Retriever puppy , whom Christopher gets to name , and promising that he will rebuild trust with Christopher slowly , `` no matter how long it takes '' . Christopher asserts that he will take further A-level exams and attend university . He completes his mathematics A-level with top grades despite having eaten and slept very little . Earlier in the story he talks about wanting to become an astronaut , but at the end he declares that his goal is to become a scientist . The book ends with Christopher optimistic about his future , having solved the mystery of the murdered dog , gone to London on his own , found his mother , written a book about his adventures , and achieved an A in his A-level maths exam . Characters Christopher John Francis Boone The 15 - year - old protagonist and narrator of the novel , who investigates the murder of Mrs Shears ' large black poodle . Ed Boone Christopher 's father , a boiler engineer . Prior to the beginning of the story , he has been living with Christopher as a single parent for two years . Judy Boone Christopher 's mother .

Rhodri Ed Boone 's employee . Toby Christopher 's pet rat . Wellington Mrs Shears ' large black poodle , which Christopher finds dead in her garden , with a garden fork sticking out of him . Themes Social disability In a June 2003 interview with NPR 's Terry Gross on her program Fresh Air , Haddon said about Christopher , `` If he were diagnosed , he would be diagnosed as having Asperger 's syndrome , which is a form of autism . I suppose you 'd call it high - function autism in that he can function on , you know , a day - to - day basis , in a kind of rudimentary way . But he has a serious difficulty with life in that he really does n't empathize with other human beings . He ca n't read their faces . He ca n't put himself in their shoes . And he ca n't understand anything more than the literal meaning of whatever 's said to him , although I 'm very careful in the book not to actually use the word ' Asperger 's ' or ' autism . ' ... Because I do n't want him to be labelled , and because , as with most people who have a disability , I do n't think it 's necessarily the most important thing about him ... And as a good friend of mine said after reading the book , a friend who is himself a mathematician , it 's not a novel about a boy who has Asperger 's syndrome ; it 's a novel about a young mathematician who has some strange behavioural problems . And I think that 's right . '' Haddon added , in the conversation with Terry Gross , `` I have to say honestly that I did more research about the London Underground and the inside of Swindon Railway Station , where some of the novel takes place , than I did about Asperger 's syndrome . I gave him kind of nine or 10 rules that he would live his life by , and then I did n't read any more about Asperger 's because I think there is no typical person who has Asperger 's syndrome , and they 're as large and diverse a group of people as any other group in society . And the important thing is that I did a lot of imagining , that I did a lot of putting myself into his shoes in trying to make him come alive as a human being rather than getting him right , whatever that might mean . '' Haddon states on his website that , although he had read `` a handful of newspaper and magazine articles about , or by , people with Asperger 's and autism '' in preparation for writing the book , he knows `` very little '' about Asperger 's syndrome and that Christopher Boone is inspired by two different people . According to Haddon , none of these people can be labelled as having a disability . Haddon added that he `` slightly regret ( s ) '' that the term Asperger 's syndrome appeared on the cover of his novel . In 2010 , in an interview with The Independent , he was described as `` now thoroughly irritated that the word Asperger 's appeared on subsequent editions of the novel , because now everyone imagines that he is an expert and he keeps getting phone calls asking him to appear at lectures . '' In a critical essay on the novel , Vivienne Muller quotes some praise by experts on disability theory : `` In its presentation of Christopher 's everyday experiences of the society in which he lives , the narrative offers a rich canvas of experiences for an ethnographic study of this particular cognitive condition , and one which places a positive spin on the syndrome . The reader in this instance acts as ethnographer , invited to see what Mark Osteen claims is a ' quality in autistic lives that is valuable in and of itself ' ( cited in ( S . ) Adams 2005 , p. 1 ) . Along similar lines , ( Alex ) McClimens writes that Haddon 's novel is ' an ethnographic delight ' and that ' Haddon 's achievement is to have written a novel that turns on the central character 's difference without making that difference a stigmatising characteristic ' ( 2005 , p. 24 ) . '' Muller adds that the novel `` works with a strong sense of the disabled speaking subject , drawing readers into Christopher 's cognitive / corporeal space through an incremental layering of his perspectives and reactions ... The narrative also bristles with diagrams , maps , drawings , stories , texts that inform Christopher 's lexicon for mapping meaning in a world of bewildering signs and sounds . '' She also admires such elements as `` the digressive stream - of - connectedness - and - disconnectedness way in which Christopher writes and thinks ; the obsessive focus on minutiae ; his musings about why animals behave the way they do ; his quasi philosophizing on death and life and the afterlife ; his ambition to be an astronaut ... '' In a survey of children 's books which `` teach about emotional life , '' Laura Jana wrote , `` On the one hand , this is a story of how an undeniably quirky teenage boy clings to order , deals with a family crisis , and tries to make sense of the world as he sees it . But it also provides profound insight into a disorder -- autism -- that leaves those who have it struggling to perceive even the most basic of human emotions . In so doing , The Curious Incident leaves its readers with a greater appreciation of their own ability to feel , express , and interpret emotions . This mainstream literary success made its way to the top of the New York Times bestseller list for fiction at the same time it was being touted by experts in Asperger 's syndrome and autism - spectrum disorder as an unrivaled fictional depiction of the inner workings of an autistic teenage boy . '' Metaphor Christopher often comments on his inability to appreciate some metaphors and similes . He gives as an example a quote that he found in `` a proper novel '' : `` I am veined with iron , with silver and with streaks of common mud . I can not contract into the firm fist which those clench who do not depend on stimulus . '' Haddon told Terry Gross , `` Funnily enough , it 's actually a quote from Virginia Woolf . It 's Virginia Woolf on an off day , in the middle , I think , of The Waves . An author whom I love actually , but who sometimes got a little too carried away . '' Reception Awards The book was joint winner of the 2004 Boeke Prize , won the 2003 Whitbread Book of the Year award and sold more than two million copies . Haddon also was one of the winners of the 2004 Alex Awards , which `` honor the 10 top adult books with appeal for adolescents . '' As well as winning the Guardian Children 's Fiction Prize , Haddon earned the Book Trust teenage fiction award . The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night - Time was also long - listed for the Man Booker Prize , and `` many observers were surprised that it did not advance to the shortlist . '' John Carey , chairman of the Booker panel of judges , told The Guardian , `` We have several clashes of opinion among the judges but I found Haddon 's book about a boy with Asperger 's syndrome breathtaking . '' Critical Reaction A survey in Great Britain , conducted by the BBC 's literacy campaign for World Book Day , found Curious Incident to be among `` the top five happy endings , as voted on by readers '' in novels ( the others were Pride and Prejudice , To Kill a Mockingbird , Jane Eyre and Rebecca , the last of which Curious outranked ) . School Library Journal praised it as a `` rich and poignant novel . '' The San Jose Mercury News said , `` Haddon does something audacious here , and he does it superbly . He shows us the way consciousness orders the world , even when the world does n't want to be ordered , '' adding that `` the great achievement of this novel is that it transcends its obvious cleverness . It 's more than an exercise in narrative ingenuity . Filled with humor and pain , it verges on profundity in its examination of those things -- customs , habits , language , symbols , daily routines , etc. -- that simultaneously unite and separate human beings . '' A reviewer for The Christian Century described it as `` an absorbing , plausible book '' : `` The reader becomes absorbed not only in the mystery of a murdered dog and a missing mom , but also in the mysterious world of an autistic child . '' A reviewer for The Atlanta Journal - Constitution wrote that the story is `` a touching evolution , one that Haddon scripts with tenderness and care ... a unique window into the mind of a boy who thinks a little differently , but like many kids his age , does n't quite know how to feel . '' Professor Roger Soder called it `` visceral '' and a `` delightful story , '' declaring , `` All of us in our Spokane Book Club are special education professionals and so have considerable experience with kids with this disability , and we found the story believable . '' Medical professionals ' reviews Dr. Alex McClimens , whom Muller quoted above , also wrote , `` This magnificent essay in communication is compulsory reading for anyone with the slightest interest in autistic spectrum disorders . This book is also required reading for those who simply enjoy a fascinating story ... we are offered a first person narrative to match anything by contemporary writers . Mark Haddon has created a true literary character and his handling of the teenage Asperger 's heroic adventure is brilliantly crafted . He uses the literal mind - set of his hero to mask the true direction of the plot . '' Reviewer Paul Moorehead calls the book `` a fairly ripping adventure story '' and writes , `` It 's also quite a feat of writing . The actual use of language is somewhat austere -- an unavoidable consequence of having a boy with autism as a narrator -- but it has its own beauty , and it works . So persuasive and so effective is the construction of Christopher , not only is he a character you 're rooting for , he 's also the character in the story you understand the best . It 's startling how believably and comfortably this story puts you into what you might have thought were likely to be some pretty alien shoes . '' Reviewer David Ellis , naming Curious Incident an `` ambitious and innovative novel , '' wrote that Haddon `` manages to avoid the opposing pitfalls of either offending people with autism and their families or turning Christopher into an object of pity . Instead of becoming the focus of the plot , the autism enhances it . The unemotional descriptions amplify many moments of observational comedy , and misfortunes are made extremely poignantly . '' He concludes that Christopher 's story is `` far more enjoyable and likely to stay with you for far longer than any medical textbook . '' Texas community reactions The novel was selected as a recommended book for the 2006 Galveston Reads program , a literacy encouragement program in Galveston County , Texas . Kimball Brizendine , the Mayor of Friendswood , issued a proclamation declaring `` Galveston County Reads Day '' and encouraging `` all citizens , teens to seniors '' to read the novel . Five days later , he retracted the statement , declaring that it was `` not ( his ) intention to endorse this readership ( sic ) for our younger readers . '' The journal American Libraries reported , `` City Council member Chris Peden went a step further , asserting to the January 28 Galveston County Daily News that while he had n't read Curious Incident in its entirety , he had noted that the ' F word ' appeared on page four and that ' later in the book , the ( lead character ) says there is no God and there is no life after death . Clearly , these are not ideas we should promote to kids ' . '' In August , 2007 , some parents in Bryan , Texas , `` were appalled to see what their kids were reading '' and protested the inclusion of the book in high school libraries , with one parent claiming that Curious Incident and another book ( Catalyst by Laurie Halse Anderson ) were `` unsuitable for not just some but all high school students . '' Adaptations Stage Main article : The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night - Time ( play ) A stage adaptation , by Simon Stephens and directed by Marianne Elliott , premiered at the National Theatre on 2 August 2012 . It starred Luke Treadaway as Christopher , Nicola Walker as his mother Judy , Paul Ritter as his father Ed , Una Stubbs as Mrs Alexander and Niamh Cusack as Siobhan .

The Easter Bunny is sometimes depicted with clothes . In legend , the creature carries colored eggs in his basket , candy , and sometimes also toys to the homes of children , and as such shows similarities to Santa Claus or the Christkind , as they both bring gifts to children on the night before their respective holidays . The custom was first mentioned in Georg Franck von Franckenau 's De ovis paschalibus ( ' About Easter Eggs ' ) in 1682 , referring to a German tradition of an Easter Hare bringing Easter eggs for the children .

In ancient times , it was widely believed ( as by Pliny , Plutarch , Philostratus , and Aelian ) that the hare was a hermaphrodite . The idea that a hare could reproduce without loss of virginity led to an association with the Virgin Mary , with hares sometimes occurring in illuminated manuscripts and Northern European paintings of the Virgin and Christ Child . It may also have been associated with the Holy Trinity , as in the three hares motif . Eggs , like rabbits and hares , are fertility symbols of antiquity . Since birds lay eggs and rabbits and hares give birth to large litters in the early spring , these became symbols of the rising fertility of the earth at the Vernal Equinox . Rabbits and hares are both prolific breeders . Female hares can conceive a second litter of offspring while still pregnant with the first . This phenomenon is known as superfetation . Lagomorphs mature sexually at an early age and can give birth to several litters a year ( hence the saying , `` to breed like rabbits '' or `` to breed like bunnies '' ) . It is therefore not surprising that rabbits and hares should become fertility symbols , or that their springtime mating antics should enter into Easter folklore . Eggs Main articles : Easter egg and Egg decorating In addition , Orthodox churches have a custom of abstaining from eggs during the fast of Lent . The only way to keep them from being wasted was to boil or roast them , and begin eating them to break the fast . As a special dish , they would probably have been decorated as part of the celebrations . Later , German Protestants retained the custom of eating colored eggs for Easter , though they did not continue the tradition of fasting . Eggs boiled with some flowers change their color , bringing the spring into the homes , and some over time added the custom of decorating the eggs . Many Christians of the Eastern Orthodox Church to this day typically dye their Easter eggs red , the color of blood , in recognition of the blood of the sacrificed Christ ( and , of the renewal of life in springtime ) . Some also use the color green , in honor of the new foliage emerging after the long - dead time of winter . The Ukrainian art of decorating eggs for Easter , known as pysanky , dates to ancient , pre-Christian times . Similar variants of this form of artwork are seen amongst other eastern and central European cultures . The idea of an egg - giving hare went to the U.S. in the 18th century . Protestant German immigrants in the Pennsylvania Dutch area told their children about the `` Osterhase '' ( sometimes spelled `` Oschter Haws '' ) . Hase means `` hare '' , not rabbit , and in Northwest European folklore the `` Easter Bunny '' indeed is a hare . According to the legend , only good children received gifts of colored eggs in the nests that they made in their caps and bonnets before Easter . Dreihasenfenster ( Window of Three Hares ) in Paderborn Cathedral in Paderborn , Germany Marshmallow bunnies and candy eggs in an Easter basket A bunny and decorated Easter eggs A chocolate Easter Bunny Chocolate Easter Bunny molds from Alsace Musée du pain d'épices Association with Ēostre In his 1835 Deutsche Mythologie , Jacob Grimm states `` The Easter Hare is unintelligible to me , but probably the hare was the sacred animal of Ostara '' . This proposed association was repeated by other authors including Charles Isaac Elton and Charles J Billson . In 1961 Christina Hole wrote , `` The hare was the sacred beast of Eastre ( or Eostre ) , a Saxon goddess of Spring and of the dawn . '' The belief that Ēostre had a hare companion who became the Easter Bunny was popularized when it was presented as fact in the BBC documentary Shadow of the Hare ( 1993 ) . The Oxford Dictionary of English Folklore however states `` ... there is no shred of evidence '' that hares were sacred to Ēostre , noting that Bede does not associate her with any animal . Transformed bird Sarah Ben Breathnach in Mrs Sharp 's Traditions ( 1990 ) provides an origin story for the Easter Bunny : `` According to legend , Eostre 's favorite animal was a large handsome bird , which in a fit of anger she turned into a hare . '' Another version of this story , in which Ēostre transforms the bird into a hare in an act of mercy , was written by Jean - Andrew Dickmann and appeared in Cricket magazine . Both Breathnach and Dickmann present their respective ' transformed bird ' stories as if they were legend , though no earlier version of either has been attested .

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( December 2010 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) A common design template of a bachelor 's degree from the United States . A bachelor 's degree ( from Middle Latin baccalaureus ) or baccalaureate ( from Modern Latin baccalaureatus ) is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study lasting three to seven years ( depending on institution and academic discipline ) . In some institutions and educational systems , some bachelor 's degrees can only be taken as graduate or postgraduate degrees after a first degree has been completed . In countries with qualifications frameworks , bachelor 's degrees are normally one of the major levels in the framework ( sometimes two levels where non-honours and honours bachelor 's degrees are considered separately ) , although some qualifications titled bachelor 's degrees may be at other levels ( e.g. MBBS ) and some qualifications with non-bachelor's titles may be classified as bachelor 's degrees ( e.g. the Scottish MA and Canadian MD ) . The term bachelor in the 12th century referred to a knight bachelor , who was too young or poor to gather vassals under his own banner . By the end of the 13th century , it was also used by junior members of guilds or universities . By folk etymology or wordplay , the word baccalaureus came to be associated with bacca lauri ( `` laurel berry '' ) in reference to laurels being awarded for academic success or honours . Under the British system , and those influenced by it , undergraduate academic degrees are differentiated as either non-honours degrees ( known variously as pass degrees , ordinary degrees or general degrees ) or honours degrees , the latter sometimes denoted by the addition of `` ( Hons ) '' after the degree abbreviation . An honours degree generally requires a higher academic standard than a pass degree , and in some systems an additional year of study beyond the non-honours bachelor 's . In some countries , e.g. Australia , there is a `` postgraduate '' bachelor 's honours degree , which may be taken as a consecutive academic degree , continuing on from the completion of a bachelor 's degree program in the same field , or ( in a similar manner to the UK system ) as part of an integrated honours program .

For example , the Nigerian university system is similar to the British system , while the Ivorian system is akin to the French . Algeria ( edit ) Bachelor 's degrees in Algerian universities are called `` الليسانس '' in Arabic or la licence in French ; the degree normally takes three years to complete and is a part of the LMD ( `` license '' , `` master '' , `` doctorate '' ) reform , students can enroll in a bachelor 's degree program in different fields of study after having obtained their baccalauréat ( the national secondary education test ) . The degree is typically identical to the program of France 's universities , as specified in the LMD reform . Bachelor 's degree programs cover most of the fields in Algerian universities , except some fields , such as Medicine and Pharmaceutical Science . Botswana ( edit ) Bachelor 's degrees at the University of Botswana normally take four years . The system draws on both British and American models . Degrees are classified as First Class , Second Class Division One ( 2 : 1 ) , Second Class Division Two ( 2 : 2 ) and Third as in English degrees , but without being described as honours . The main degrees are named by British tradition ( Arts , Science , Law , etc . ) , but in recent years there have been a number of degrees named after specific subjects , such as Bachelor of Library and Information . Morocco ( edit ) In Morocco , a bachelor 's degree is referred to as al - ʾijāzah ( Arabic , French : licence ) . The course of study takes three years , which are further divided into two cycles . The first cycle comprises the first , or propaedeutic , year . After successfully completing their first two years , students can pursue either theoretical specialization ( études fondamentales ) or professional specialization ( études professionnelles ) . The second cycle is one year long , after whose completion students receive the licence d'études fondamentales or the licence professionnelle . This academic degree system was introduced in September 2003 . Nigeria ( edit ) University admission is extremely competitive , with attendant advantages and disadvantages . Nonetheless , it takes four to five years to complete a bachelor 's degree . In cases of poor performance , the time limit is double the standard amount of time . For example , one may not study for more than 10 years for a five - year course . Students are normally asked to leave if they must take longer . Nigerian universities offer B.Sc. , B. Tech. ( usually from Universities of Technology ) , B. Arch . ( six years ) , and other specialized undergraduate degrees , such as B. Eng . Science undergraduate degrees may require six months or a semester dedicated to SIWES ( Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme ) but it is usually mandatory for all engineering degrees . A semester for project work / thesis is required , not excluding course work , during the bachelor thesis in the final year . The classifications of degrees : first - class , second - class ( upper and lower ) , third - class ( with honours ; i.e. , B.Sc . ( Hons ) ) and a pass ( no honours ) . First - and second - class graduates are immediately eligible for advanced postgraduate degrees ( i.e. , M.Sc. and Ph. D . ) , but other classes may be required for an additional postgraduate diploma before such eligibility . Furthermore , all graduating students are obliged to do the National Youth Service Corps ( NYSC ) requirement , which usually takes one year , after which they are eligible to pursue higher degrees . The NYSC is a paramilitary service that involves students ' being posted to different parts of the country to serve in various capacities . Principal objectives of the NYSC are to forge national cohesion , encourage students to apply their obtained knowledge to solving problems of rural Nigeria , and others . The NYSC was established by law after the Nigerian Civil War . Polytechnical schools ( polytechnics ) in Nigeria are not considered universities . They are mandated to educate technicians of high calibre ; they offer the OND ( ordinary national diploma ) and the HND ( higher national diploma ) . The polytechnics focus very strongly on practical technical training . The B.Sc. and HND are compared in engineering circles but there are significant differences in training philosophies . Honours degrees in Nigeria are differentiated only on the basis of performance . Honours degrees include the first - class degree , second - class degrees ( upper and lower ) and the third - class degree , but not the pass . All university students must do an independent research project which applies the knowledge obtained during the previous years of study . The project work must be submitted in the semester before graduation and usually takes a significant number of points . Further course work is not precluded during the project work , but the courses are fewer and are at an advanced level . Project work is orally defended before the faculty and before peers . In the sciences and engineering a demonstration of the project is usually required . The exceptions are theoretical work , for which a media project is required . South Africa ( edit ) In South Africa , an honours degree is an additional postgraduate qualification in the same area as the undergraduate major , and requires at least one further year of study as well as a research report . Tunisia ( edit ) In Tunisia , a bachelor 's degree is referred to as al - ʾijāzah in Arabic , or la license in French ; the degree takes three years to complete and is a part of the LMD ( license , master , doctorat ) reform , students can enroll in a bachelor 's degree program in different fields of study after having obtained their baccalauréat ( the national secondary education test ) . The degree is typically identical to the program of France 's universities , as specified in the LMD reform . Most universities in Tunisia offer the 3 - year bachelor 's degree , except some fields , which are Medicine , Pharmacy , Architecture and Bachelor of Science in Business Administration , solely offered by Tunis Business School and lasts 4 years . Kenya ( edit ) In Kenya , university education is highly valued and supported by the government , affluent individuals as well as corporate entities who demonstrate this by providing loans and scholarships to students who perform exceptionally well in their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education ( KCSE ) examination . A bachelor 's degree is awarded to students who successfully complete a three to seven - year course depending on the area of study . For most degree programs , a research project and an internship period after which a report is written by the student is a must before the student is allowed to graduate . In 2012 , a number of select colleges were upgraded to university status in a bid to increase the intake of students into the degree program . Asia ( edit ) Bangladesh ( edit ) In Bangladesh , universities and colleges award three - and four - year degrees ( three - year degrees courses are called pass courses and four - year degree courses are called honours courses ) in science and business ( B.Sc. , B.B.S. , B.B.A. , four - year and three months , etc . ) and three - and four - year degrees in arts ( B.A. , B.S.S. , etc . ) . Engineering universities provide four - year degree programs for bachelor 's degree courses of study ( B.Sc. in Eng and B.Sc . ) . Medical colleges have five - year degree programmes ( MBBS , BDS ) . In law education there is a two - year LL. B. degree after completing three years in a B.A. program for a total of five years of study . There is also a four - year LL. B. honours degree . The Bachelor of Architecture ( B. Arch . ) and Bachelor of Pharmacy ( B. pharm. degree are professional degrees awarded to students who complete a five - year course of study in the field at some universities . All of these programs begin after achieving the Higher Secondary Certificate ( HSC -- in total 12 years of school education ) . China ( edit ) Since the undergraduate education system in China is modeled after its American counterpart , all the degrees are adapted from those of the United States excepting the release of the degree certificate . Once a student has fulfilled his / her course requirements , a graduate certificate will be given . In order to get the degree , a student must finish and pass the dissertation stage ; only then will he or she be awarded a degree credentialed by the Ministry of Education of the People 's Republic of China . Four years of education is the standard length , although some private small colleges not credentialed by the Ministry of Education do offer three - year programs . Normally , about 90 % of graduates are able to obtain a degree ; however , no degree is awarded with excellence or honor . It is also referred to as a `` Xueshi '' ( 學士 ) . Fiji ( edit ) The colonial link and the establishment of the University of the South Pacific in 1968 allowed the education system to follow suit from the qualification system of the Commonwealth . University of the South Pacific is the only university in the Oceania region to be internationally recognized outside Australia and New Zealand with its bachelor 's and other awards program . It is also the highest ranked in the university ranking in the island region and also ranked above some Australian universities like the University of Canberra , University of Sunshine Coast and New Zealand universities like Lincoln University and Waikato Institute of Technology . India ( edit ) Bachelor 's degree in India normally take 3 years of study to complete although courses like Bachelor 's in Engineering ( B. tech . ) or Medical degrees take longer . B. Tech. usually takes 4 years of classwork with a project at the end of the 4th year while Medical degrees usually take 5 years to complete . Most of the Science , Commerce , and Arts degrees are honours degrees with electives chosen by the student . Common bachelor 's degrees and abbreviations : Bachelor of Arts : BA Bachelor of Science : BSc Bachelor of Commerce : Bcom Bachelor of Computer Applications : BCA Bachelor of Laws : LLB Bachelor of Engineering : BTech Bachelor of Education : BEd ( BEd degrees are offered after completion of a 3 year undergraduate coursework . ) Bachelor of Medicine , Bachelor of Surgery : MBBS For academic grading system in India , refer to this page . Students usually start their Bachelor 's after completing their Secondary School coursework ( also known as + 2 ) from a state or private board . Iran ( edit ) In Iran , provide four years of education leading to a B.Sc . Indonesia ( edit ) In Indonesia , most of the current bachelor 's degrees are domain - specific degrees . Therefore , there are probably more than 20 bachelor 's degrees . For instance , S. Psi for Sarjana Psikologi ( literally translated as `` Bachelor of Psychology / B. Psy. , B.A. '' ) , S.T. for Sarjana Teknik ( literally translated as `` Bachelor of Engineering '' ) , S.Si . for Sarjana Sains ( literally translated as `` Bachelor of Science '' ) , S. Farm for Sarjana Farmasi ( literally translated as `` Bachelor of Pharmacy '' ) , S.E for Sarjana Ekonomi ( literally translated as `` Bachelor of Economy '' ) , S. Kom . for Sarjana Ilmu Komputer ( literally translated as `` Bachelor of Computer Science '' ) , or S. Sos . for Sarjana Ilmu Sosial ( literally translated as `` Bachelor of Social Sciences '' ) . In the past , the Indonesian academic system adopted the old European / western degrees , such as the Ir ( insinyur from Dutch ingenieur ) for an engineering degree and the common academic degree ( doktorandus from Dutch and ultimately Latin doctorandus ) for a degree in either social or natural sciences . Jordan ( edit ) Since the undergraduate education system in Jordan is modeled after its American counterpart , all the degrees are adapted from those of the United States excepting the release of the degree certificate . Once a student has fulfilled his / her course requirements , a graduate certificate will be given . In order to get the degree , a student must finish and pass the dissertation stage ; only then will he or she be awarded a degree credentialed by the Ministry of Higher Education of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan . Four years of education is the standard length . Nepal ( edit ) In Nepal , the bachelor 's degree was initially a three - year program for courses like Bachelor of Business Studies ( B.B.S. ) , Bachelor of Sciences ( B.Sc ). , Bachelor of Education ( B. Ed . ) , Bachelor of Arts ( B.A. ) from Tribhuvan University , Pokhara University , Purbanchal University and other new regional university equivalent but now it is mostly a four - year program for new courses like Bachelor of Business Administration ( B.B.A. ) , Bachelor of Business Information System ( B.B.I.S. ) , Bachelor of Information Management ( B.I.M. ) , Bachelor of Engineering ( B.E. ) , Bachelor of Science in Computer Studies and Information Technology ( B.Sc ). C.S.I.T. Some bachelor 's programs are still three years long , such as the Bachelor of Arts ( B.A ) and Bachelor of Education ( B. Ed ) . It is completed after 10 + 2 level ( High School ) . Bachelor of Business Administration ( B.B.A ) , Bachelor of Information Management ( B.I.M. ) , Bachelor of Business Information Systems ( B.B.I.S. ) , Bachelor of Engineering , and Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Information Technology ( B. Sc. C.S.I.T. ) are a few popular bachelor 's degree programs . B.Sc. and B.B. Sc . have recently turned into four year programs from three year programs . In Nepal , Tribhuvan University as an oldest and biggest University based on number of student and academic department , Kathmandu University , Purbanchal University , Pokhara University , Nepal Sanskrit University and other new regional universities are operating currently . M.B.A. and B.B.A. from all universities are examined under the system of Percentage and G.P.A , and traditional university courses are accessed on division base like pass division , second division , first division and distinction . In Nepal , there is no top up , honours and exchange or related tie up degree courses authorised and practiced by Nepalese Government and other educational Institution but these day , Affiliation from foreign universities , online and distance mode is popular in modern working youth population . M.B.A. , B.B.A. , B. Pharm. , B. Sc . Nursing , Bachelor of Nursing ( B.N. ) , B.E. has a trending professional demand in Nepalese market . Malaysia ( edit ) Institutes of higher learning in Malaysia provide three or four years of education leading to a B.Sc . Hons Degree . The standards of categorization is almost consistent among Malaysian Universities . Candidates who excel in their academic results will be awarded a First Class Bachelor Hons Degree ( usually 3.67 CGPA and above ) , followed by Class Second Upper ( usually between 3.00 - 3.66 CGPA ) , Class Second Lower ( usually 2.50 - 2.99 CGPA ) , Class Three ( usually 2.00 - 2.49 CGPA ) and General Degree ( Without Honours ) , for usually 1.99 and below CGPA candidates . Pakistan ( edit ) In Pakistan , arts , commerce and science colleges provide four - year bachelor 's degrees ( BA , BSc , BBA , BCom etc . ) . Generally these programs are of four years duration as elsewhere in the world and begin after completing higher secondary school education by receiving a Higher Secondary School Certificate ( HSSC ) acknowledging one 's twelve years of study by the respective board . After successful completion of these programs , a bachelor 's degree is awarded by the respective university . Engineering and medical colleges provide four and five - year degree programs respectively for bachelor 's degrees ( BE / BS / BSc Eng and MBBS ) that also begin after higher secondary school year 12 . The Bachelor of Architecture ( BArch ) degree program is of five years ' duration . Philippines ( edit ) In the Philippines , where the term `` course '' is commonly used to refer to a bachelor 's degree major , course of study or program , several undergraduate categories exist -- the two most common degrees awarded being Bachelor of Science ( B.Sc . ) and Bachelor of Arts ( B.A. or A.B. ) . Specializations ( `` majors '' ) in economics , business administration , social work , agriculture , nursing , accountancy , architecture and engineering are offered as B.S. degrees in most colleges and universities . The latter three specializations require five years of schooling , in contrast to the standard of four years . Other common degrees are Bachelor in Education ( B. Ed . ) and Bachelor of Laws ( LL. B. , a professional degree ) . Being patterned after the United States , all universities and colleges offer graduation with honors -- cum laude , magna cum laude , and summa cum laude . Republic of korea ( edit ) Universities , colleges , and institutions of higher learning provide the bachelor 's degree , called ' haksa ' ( Korean : 학사 ) . For example , a university student who majored in literature and graduates obtains a B.A. , called ' munhaksa ' ( Korean : 문학사 ) . Even if he or she does not go to an institution of higher learning , a person can get a bachelor 's degree through the Bachelor 's Degree Examination for Self - Education . Sri Lanka ( edit ) Recognised institutes of higher learning only are authorised to award degrees in Sri Lanka . Three years full - time bachelor 's degree without an area of specialization is known as a general degree . A degree with a specialization ( in accounting , chemistry , plant biotechnology , zoology , physics , engineering , IT , law , etc . ) is known as a special degree and requires four years of study and more entrance qualifications . A degree in medicine , an M.B.B. Sc. , requires a minimum of six years . Oceania ( edit ) Australia ( edit ) In Australia , a `` bachelor degree '' is normally a three to four - year program , leading to a qualification at level 7 of the Australian Qualifications Framework . Entry to a number of professions , such as law practice and teaching , require a bachelor 's degree ( a ' professional ' degree ) . Other degrees , such as Bachelor of Arts do n't necessarily elicit entry into a profession , though many organisations require a bachelor 's degree for employment . A one - year postgraduate bachelor honours degree at can be achieved as a consecutive stand - alone course following a bachelor 's degree in the same field , or as an additional year as part of a bachelor 's degree program . The honours course is normally only open to those who do well in their bachelor 's degree program and involves study at a more advanced level than that bachelor 's degree . Both the bachelor and bachelor honours degrees are aligned with level 6 of the EQF , the same as British and Irish bachelor 's degrees with and without honours , and other Bologna Process first cycle qualifications . Some bachelor 's degrees ( e.g. engineering and environmental science ) include an integrated honours degree as part of a four - year program . Honours is generally for students who want to take up a research track for postgraduate studies , and increasingly for those who want an extra edge in the job market . Marking scales for Honours differ ; generally , First Class Honours ( 85 -- 100 % ) denotes an excellent standard of achievement ; Second Class Division 1 ( 75 - 84 % ) a high standard ; Second Class Division 2 ( 65 -- 74 % ) a good standard ; Third Class ( 50 -- 64 % ) satisfactory standard ; a final mark below 50 % is a fail of the course . Bachelor honours degrees include a major Independent research component , allowing students to develop skills that will enable them to proceed to further study or to work in research roles in industry . First - class or second - class ( upper division ) honours are generally required for entry into doctoral programs ( e.g. PhDs , etc . ) ; an alternative route to doctoral study is via a `` masters degree '' . New Zealand ( edit ) In New Zealand , only recognised institutions -- usually universities and polytechnics -- have degree - awarding powers . Most bachelor 's degrees are three years full - time , but certain degrees , such as the Bachelor of Laws and the Bachelor of Engineering degrees , require four years of study . A Bachelor of Medicine degree requires a minimum of six years . Where students opt to study two bachelor 's degrees simultaneously -- referred to as a `` conjoint degree '' or `` double degree '' -- an extra year of study is added . The number of years of study required is determined based on the degree with the greatest number of years . For example , a B.Com. degree requires three years of full - time study , but a double B.Com. -- LL. B. degree will require five years of full - time study because the LL. B. degree is four years long . Exceptional students may choose to complete a degree in a shorter amount of time by taking on extra courses , usually with the help of summer school . Students who complete a double degree program will have two separate bachelor 's degrees at the end of their studies . Consistently high - performing students may also be invited to complete the ' honours ' program . This usually requires an extra year of study with an extra honours dissertation . An honors award is credited with `` Hons . '' ( e.g. , Bachelor of Laws ( Hons . ) ) . Some degrees also offer a Post Graduate Diploma , which often consists of the same workload , but with added flexibility . PGDip does not usually require a dissertation . However , the student may complete one if desired . A diploma award is credited with ' PGDip ' and the name of the degree ( for example , ' PGDipArts ' or ' PGDipScience ' . The americas ( edit ) Usually the region presents bachelor 's , Master 's , doctoral , and postdoctoral degrees . Canada ( edit ) Education in Canada is governed independently by each province and territory , however a common framework for degrees was agreed by the Council of Ministers of Education , Canada in 2007 . This adopted descriptors for bachelor 's , master 's and doctoral degrees that were deliberately similar to those defined by the Bologna Process . Under the framework , four general forms of bachelor 's degree are defined : general programs providing a broad education and preparing graduates for graduate - entry professional programs or employment generally ; in - depth academic programs in a specific subject that prepare graduates for postgraduate study in the field or employment generally ; applied programs that concentrate on a mastery of practice rather than knowledge ; and professional programs , often ( but not exclusively ) graduate - entry , that prepare graduates to practice as professionals in a specific field . This last category included graduate - entry degrees titled as if they were doctorates , such as MD , JD and DDS degrees -- despite their names , these are considered bachelor 's degrees . Bachelor 's degrees may take either three or four years to complete and are awarded by colleges and universities . In many universities and colleges bachelor ́ s degrees are differentiated either as bachelor ́ s or as honours bachelor ́ s degrees . The term `` Honours '' is an academic distinction , which indicates that students must achieve their bachelor 's degree with a sufficiently high overall grade point average ; in addition , some programs may require more education than non-honours programs . The honours degrees are sometimes designated with the abbreviation in brackets of ' ( Hon ( s ) ) ' . In Quebec , students have to go through a minimum of two years of college before entering , for example , a three - year Bachelor of Science ( B.Sc . ) or a four - year Bachelor of Engineering ( B. Eng . ) program . As a consequence , there is no de jure `` honors degree '' ( although some universities market some of their programs as being de facto honors degrees in their English - language materials ) , but there are some specializations called `` concentrations '' in French , which are mostly taken as optional courses . In the province of Ontario , the vast majority of bachelor 's degrees offered by Ontario universities are academic in nature . On the other hand , Ontario provincial legislation requires bachelor 's degrees offered by Ontario colleges to be applied and vocationally - focused United States ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification .

( February 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Bachelor 's degrees in the United States are typically designed to be completed in four years of full - time study , although some programs ( such as engineering or architecture ) usually take five , and some universities and colleges allow ambitious students ( usually with the help of summer school , who are taking many classes each semester or who have existing credit from high school Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate course exams ) to complete them in as little as three years . Some US colleges and universities have a separate academic track known as an `` honors '' or `` scholars '' program , generally offered to the top percentile of students ( based on GPA ) , that offers more challenging courses or more individually directed seminars or research projects in lieu of the standard core curriculum . Those students are awarded the same bachelor 's degree as students completing the standard curriculum but with the notation in cursu honorum on the transcript and the diploma . Usually , the above Latin honors are separate from the notation for this honors course , but a student in the honors course generally must maintain grades worthy of at least the cum laude notation anyway . Hence , a graduate might receive a diploma Artium Baccalaureatum rite or Artium Baccalaureatum summa cum laude in the regular course or Artium Baccalaureatum summa cum laude in cursu honorum in the honors course . If the student has completed the requirements for an honors degree only in a particular discipline ( e.g. , English language and literature ) , the degree is designated accordingly ( e.g. , B.A. with Honors in English ) . In this case , the degree candidate will complete the normal curriculum for all subjects except the selected discipline ( `` English , '' in the preceding example ) . The requirements in either case usually require completion of particular honors seminars , independent research at a level higher than usually required ( often with greater personal supervision by faculty than usual ) , and a written honors thesis in the major subject . Many universities and colleges in the United States award bachelor 's degrees with Latin honors , usually ( in ascending order ) cum laude ( `` with honor / praise '' ) , magna cum laude ( `` with great honor / praise '' ) , summa cum laude ( `` with highest honor / praise '' ) , and the occasionally seen maxima cum laude ( `` with maximal honor / praise '' ) . Requirements for such notations of honors generally include minimum grade point averages ( GPA ) , with the highest average required for the summa distinction ( or maxima , when that distinction is present ) . In the case of some schools , such as Bates College , Colby College , Middlebury College , Guilford College , Franklin College Switzerland , and larger universities like the University of Virginia , Princeton University , North Carolina State University , University of Massachusetts Amherst , a senior thesis for degrees in the humanities or laboratory research for natural science ( and sometimes social science ) degrees is also required . Five notable exceptions are Reed College , Massachusetts Institute of Technology , The Evergreen State College , Sarah Lawrence College , and Bennington College , which do not have deans ' lists , Latin honors recognitions , or undergraduate honors programs or subjects . Mexico ( edit ) Bachelor 's degrees may take an average of five years ( from four to five years ) to complete depending on the course load and the program and they are awarded by colleges and universities . Medicine is from 6 to 7 years . Each college has its own curriculum and requirements with an emphasis of their choice , governed independently by each state of the republic . After finishing all the subjects the student require a final work , which means the completion of particular honors seminars , research and development or a written thesis in a particular field . Mexico 's regulations established as an obligation in order to receive their license and title the fulfillment of a `` Social Service '' to the nation ( usually for those who finished their studies in a public institution ) as a remuneration to society in the form of social actions , the benefits , as students , were received during training . This requirement takes about six months to one year depending on the type of degree . Bachelor 's degree should not be falsely related with its Spanish cognate `` Bachiller '' , which designate a prerequisite for matriculate in a career or bachelor studies . The official name for a bachelor 's degree in Mexico is `` Licenciado '' and such studies are referred as `` Licenciatura '' . Bachelor 's degrees should not be confused with Engineering Degrees , where an Ingeniería is prefixed to the name and requieres additional courses for certification as an Engineer . Brazil ( edit ) See also : Universities and higher education in Brazil In Brazil , a bachelor 's degree takes from three years to six years to complete depending on the course load and the program . A bachelor 's degree is the title sought by Brazilians in order to be a professional in a certain area of human knowledge . Master 's and doctoral degrees are additional degrees for those seeking an academic career or a specific understanding of a field . Even without a formal adhesion to the Bologna system , a Brazilian `` bachelor 's '' would correspond to a European `` first cycle . '' A Brazilian `` bachelor 's '' takes three to six years for completion , as well as usually a written monograph or concluding project , in the same way that a European bachelor 's can be finished in three to four years , after which time Europeans may embark on a one - to two - year 2nd cycle program usually called a `` Master 's '' , according to the Bologna Process . Depending on programs and personal choices , Europeans can achieve a master 's degree in as little as four years ( a three - year bachelor 's and a one - year Master 's ) and as long as six years ( a four - year bachelor 's , a two - year Master 's ) of higher education . In Brazil it would be possible to have a specialization `` lato - sensu '' degree -- which differs from a Brazilian `` stricto - sensu '' master 's degree -- in as little as three years ( two years for a `` tecnólogo '' degree and an additional year for a specialization ) or as long as eight years ( six years for professional degrees , plus two years for a master 's `` stricto - sensu '' degree -- typical in medicine or engineering ) . Colombia ( edit ) In Colombia , secondary school has two milestones , in 9th and 11th grades . After completing the first 4 years of secondary school ( 6th , 7th , 8th and 9th grades ) , a student is considered to have completed the basic secondary school while after completed the last two years ( 10th and 11th grades ) is considered to have completed `` bachillerato '' or high school diploma . This degree can be only academic ( the most common ) or : military , given by military specialised schools and gives the opportunity for male students not to go to obligatory military service . commercial , which grants students focussed skills on accountancy . technical , which grants students focussed skills on technical abilities such in electricity , mechanics and related matters . Academic , which grants students focussed skills on elementary education . After graduating from high - school , hopeful students must present a nationwide exam that determines their eligibility to apply for their desired program , depending on the score the student achieves on the exam . In Colombia , the system of academic degrees is similar to the US model . After completing their `` bachillerato '' ( high school ) , students can take one of three options . The first one is called a `` Profesional '' ( professional career ) , which is similar to a bachelor 's degree requiring from four to six years of study according to the chosen program , However , strictly - career - related subjects are taken from the very beginning unlike US where focused career - related subjects usually are part of the curriculum from the third year . The other option is called a `` Técnico '' ( technician ) ; this degree consists of only two and a half years of study and prepares the student for technical or mechanical labors . Finally , the third option is called a `` Tecnólogo '' ( equivalent to an associate degree ) , and consist of 3 years of study . A technical school gives to the student , after a program of two years , an under graduate degree in areas like software development , networks and IT , accountancy , nursing and other areas of health services , mechanics , electricity and technic - like areas . Universities offer graduate degrees in ICFES endorsed programs like medicine , engineering , laws , accountancy , business management and other professional areas . A typical undergraduate program usually takes 10 or 11 semesters and some ( i.e. medicine ) require an additional period of service or practice to apply for the degree . A student who has obtained an undergraduate degree can opt to continue studying a career after completing their undergraduate degree by continuing onto Master 's and Doctorate degrees . They can also choose to a specialization in certain fields of study by doing an extra year . ICFES is the national authority for the education quality . A complete list of under graduate and graduate programs approved by ICFES can be found here : http://snies.mineducacion.gov.co/consultasnies/programa/buscar.jsp?control=0.09832581685767972 Guyana ( edit ) In Guyana , the universities offer Bachelor programs in different streams like Bachelor of Atrs ( B.A ) , Bachelor of Science in Nursing , Design and Arts , Liberal Arts , Psychology , Doctor of Medicine ( MD ) and other health science programs . These programs are delivered by University of Guyana , Texila American University , Green Heart Medical University , Lesley university and many more offers these bachelor programs . Costa rica , El Salvador and Venezuela ( edit ) See also : Education in Costa Rica , Education in El Salvador , and Education in Venezuela In these countries , there are two titles that should not be confused : High school students who pass their bachillerato exams obtain a certificate of Bachiller en Educación Secundaria ( `` bachelor 's degree in secondary education '' ) , which is needed in order to enter a university and is usually requested by companies in their profiles . University students obtain a licenciatura degree in their respective fields after completing four years of education , five in Venezuela and El Salvador , ( and meeting other requisites unique to each institution ) , enabling them to work as professionals in their chosen areas ; for example , a Bachiller en Enseñanza Secundaria ( `` bachelor 's degree in secondary teaching '' ) enables a person to work as a high school teacher . Currently , the trend is for universities not to offer a bachelor 's degree and to offer instead a licentiate 's or `` Ingeniero '' degree after five years of education . Europe ( edit ) Bachelor 's degrees exist in almost every country in Europe . However , these degrees were only recently introduced in some Continental European countries , where bachelor 's degrees were unknown before the Bologna process . Undergraduate programs in Europe overall lead to the following most widely accepted degrees : Bachelor of Science degree ( B.Sc . ) , 35 % -- 40 % of undergraduate programs ; Bachelor of Arts degree ( B.A. ) , 30 % -- 35 % of undergraduate programs ; Bachelor of Laws degree ( LL. B . ) , 1 % of total programs , however widely accepted in the law discipline . The rest of the programmes typically lead to Bachelor of Engineering degree ( B. Eng . ) , Bachelor of Business Administration degree ( B.B.A. ) , or other variants . Also , associate degrees are rising in popularity on the undergraduate level in Europe . On a per - country , per - discipline and sometimes even per - institute basis , the duration of an undergraduate degree program is typically three or four years , but can range anywhere from three to six years . This is an important factor in the student 's decision - making process . Austria ( edit ) The historical situation in Austria was very similar to that in Germany , with the traditional first degrees being the Magister and the Diplom , which are master 's - level qualifications . From 2004 , bachelor 's degrees have been reintroduced as part of the Bologna Process reforms . These can be studied at universities , leading to a bachelor 's degree ( BA or BSc ) after three or four years , and at Fachhochschulen ( universities of applied science ) , leading to a Bachelor ( FH ) after three years . Belgium ( edit ) Education in Belgium is run by the language communities , with separate higher education systems being administered by the Flemish Community and the French Community . Both systems have been reformed to align with the Bologna Process , the Flemish Community from 2003 and the French Community from 2004 . In the Flemish Community , bachelor 's degrees may be either academic or professional . These degrees last three years , and may be followed in both cases by a more advanced Bachelor - na - bachelor diploma , lasting one year ( c.f. the Australian bachelor honours degree ) . All of these qualifications are at level 6 on the EQF , to which the Flemish Qualification Framework was referenced in June 2011 . In the French Community , universities award grade de bachelier ( 3 years ) as the equivalent of bachelor 's degrees . Outside of universities , professional programs may be type long ( long type ) or type court ( short type ) , both of which are offered at Hautes Ecoles and Ecoles Supérieures des Arts . The type long takes in a grade de bachelier ( type long ) ( 3 years ) , which is followed by a master degree ( 1 or 2 years ) , while the type court has a grade de bachelier professionnalisant ( type court ) ( 3 years ) , which may be followed by a bachelier de spécialisation ( 1 year ) . All bachelier degrees ( including the bachelier de spécialisation ) are equivalent to level 6 of the EQF , but have not been formally referenced . Croatia ( edit ) Most universities and colleges in Croatia today offer a three - year bachelor program , which can be followed up typically with a two - year master 's ( graduate ) program . Upon completion of undergraduate professional studies , students are awarded the professional title of Professional Bachelor , abbreviated bacc . ( baccalaureus or stručni prvostupnik in Croatian ) with a reference to a specialisation . Undergraduate university studies normally last for three to four years and upon completion , students are awarded an academic title of Bachelor , abbreviated univ . bacc . ( baccalaureus or sveučilišni prvostupnik in Croatian ) . Academies that specialize in the arts , e.g. the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb , have four - year bachelor 's programs followed by a one - year master 's . Czech Republic ( edit ) Historically , the baccalareus was the undergraduate degree awarded to students who graduated from the course of trivium ( grammar , dialectic and rhetoric ) at a faculty of liberal arts ( either at the Charles University or at the University of Olomouc ) . It was a necessary prerequisite to continue either with the faculty of liberal arts ( quadrivium leading to a master 's degree and further to a doctoral degree ) or to study at one of the other three historical faculties -- law , medicine or theology . A bachelor 's degree , abbreviated Bc. A. , in the field of fine arts , and Bc . ( Bakalář in Czech ) in other fields is awarded for accredited undergraduate programs at universities and colleges . The vast majority of undergraduate programmes offered in the Czech Republic have a standard duration of three years . In the Czech tertiary education system , most universities and colleges today offer a three - year bachelor program , which can be followed up typically with a two - year master 's ( graduate ) program . Some specializations , such as doctors of medicine and veterinary doctors , hold exceptions from the general system in that the only option is a six - year master 's program with no bachelor stage ( graduate with title doctor ) . This is due mainly to the difficulty of meaningfully splitting up the education for these specialisations . Denmark ( edit ) The bachelor 's degree was re-introduced at universities in Denmark in 1993 , after the original degree ( baccalaureus ) was abandoned in 1775 . The bachelor 's degree is awarded after three or four years of study at a university and follows a scheme quite similar to the British one . Two bachelor 's degrees are given at the university level today : Bachelor of Science ( B.Sc . ) , awarded to students with main focus on scientific , medical , or technical areas ; Bachelor of Arts ( B.A. ) , awarded to students whose main focus is on humanistic , theological , or jurisprudence areas . However , both in the business and the academic world in Denmark , the bachelor 's degree is still considered to be `` the first half '' of a master 's ( candidatus ) . It is often not considered a degree in its own right . , despite the politicians ' best attempts to make it more accepted . The bachelor 's degree has also been used since the late 1990s in a number of areas like nursing and teaching . Usually referred to as a `` Professional Bachelor '' ( Danish : professionsbachelor ) , these degrees usually require 3 to 41⁄2 years of combined theoretical and practical study at a so - called `` ( professional ) university college '' ( Danish : professionshøjskole ) . These professional bachelor 's degrees do grant access to some university Master 's program . These professional bachelor 's degrees are considered to be a full education . Faroe Islands ( edit ) Bachelor 's degrees in the Faroe Islands are much the same as in Denmark . France ( edit ) See also : Licentiate ( degree ) § France The traditional bachelor 's degree is the equivalent of the French Maîtrise four - year degree . Since the new European system of 2004 LMD Bologna process was founded , it has become standard to recognize a bachelor 's degree over three years with a licence degree , a master 's degree over five years , and a doctorate over eight years . Some private institutions are however literally naming their degrees Bachelor 's , Master 's and Executive , such as the Bordeaux MBA / Collège International de Bordeaux . Not all of them are yet accredited by the French State , but offer similar course subjects , structures and methods to those found in Anglo - Saxon institutions . Germany ( edit ) Historically , Bachelor 's degrees , called `` Bakkalaureus '' , originally existed in Germany since the late Middle Ages . They were abolished up until 1820 as part of educational reforms at this time . The Abitur degree -- the final degree received in school after a specialized ' college phase ' of two years -- replaced it , and universities only awarded graduate degrees . The Magister degree , a graduate degree , was awarded after five years of study . In 1899 , a second graduate degree , the Diplom , was introduced when the Technische Hochschulen ( TH ) received university status . Since the introduction of the universities of applied sciences , a shortened version of the latter , referred to as Diplom ( FH ) and designed to take three to four years , was introduced between 1969 and 1972 . However , to comply with the European Bologna process , in 1998 a new educational law reintroduced the bachelor 's degree ( first degree after three years of study ) in Germany . Today , these degrees can be called either `` Bakkalaureus '' or `` Bachelor '' ( in accordance with federal law ) , but the English term is more common . According to the Bologna modell , the Bachelor is followed by the post-graduate master 's degree of another two years . The traditional degrees of Diplom and Magister were mostly abolished in 2010 , the Diplom still remains in a few subjects and universities and has been reintroduced as alternative degree in some places . The traditional degrees have been re-mapped to the new European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System ( ECTS ) point system to make them comparable to the new bachelor 's degree . Traditional and Bologna process degrees are ranked as follows in Germany : Bachelor : 180 , 210 , or 240 ECTS points required ; Diplom Uni or TH : 300 ECTS ; Master : 300 ECTS ( including bachelor ) . Italy ( edit ) The old four - , five - , or six - year laurea system was discontinued in the early 2000s as per the Bologna process , with some exceptions such as law school or medical school . The bachelor 's degree , called `` Laurea '' , takes three years to complete ( note that Italian students graduate from high school at age 19 ) and grants access to graduate degrees ( known as `` Laurea Magistrale '' ) . In order to graduate , students must earn 180 credits ( ECTS ) and write a thesis for which students have to elaborate on an argument under the supervision of a professor ( generally from three to eight ECTS ) . Graduation marks go from 66 to 110 . According to each faculty internal ruling , a lode may be awarded to candidates with a 110 / 110 mark for recognition of the excellence of the final project . Macedonia ( edit ) In 2003 , the German - style education system was changed to conform to the ECTS because of the Bologna process . The existing academic degree granted with a diploma was transformed into a baccalaureus ( bachelor 's degree ) . The universities usually award a bachelor 's degree after three years ( following which , a master 's degree will be two years long ) or four years ( following which , a master 's degree will be one year long ) . Netherlands ( edit ) In the Netherlands , the Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees were introduced in 2002 . Until that time , a single program that led to the doctorandus degree was in effect , which comprised the same course load as the bachelor 's and Master 's programs put together . ( The doctorandus title was in use for almost all fields of study ; other titles were used for legal studies ( meester ) and engineering ( ingenieur ) . ) Those who had already started the doctorandus program could , upon completing it , opt for the doctorandus degree ( before their name , abbreviated to ' drs . ' ) , or simply use the master 's degree ( behind their name ) in accordance with the new standard . Since these graduates do not have a separate bachelor 's degree ( which is in fact -- in retrospect -- incorporated into the program ) , the master 's degree is their first academic degree . In 2003 / 2004 , the Dutch degree system was changed because of the Bologna process . Former degrees included : baccalaureus ( bc . for bachelor , corresponding to a B.A. Sc. or B.A.A. degree , it may be formally rendered as `` B '' , followed by the specialization field , instead of `` bc . '' ) doctorandus ( prefix abbreviated to drs. ; it corresponds to M.A. or M.Sc. , but it may be formally rendered as M instead of drs . ) , ingenieur ing . for graduates of the four - year courses offered by Dutch higher vocational colleges ( HBO , that is ; hoger beroepsonderwijs ) see : university of applied science . It is similar to a B.A. Sc. , B. Eng. , B.B.E. , B.A.S. or B.I.C.T. ( B.I.T. ) , and it may be formally rendered as B followed by the specialization field , instead of ing . ir . for those having graduated from technical university after a minimum of five years , corresponding to a M.Sc. , but it may be formally rendered as M , instead of ir . ) , meester in de rechten ( mr. ; it corresponds to LL. M. , but it may be formally rendered as M instead of mr . ) and doctor ( dr. ; it corresponds to Ph. D. , but it may formally be rendered as D instead of dr . ) are still granted along with their international equivalents . While the titles ing. , bc. , ir. , mr. , drs. and dr . are used before one 's own name , the degrees B , M or D are mentioned after one 's name . It is still allowed to use the traditional titles . Whether a bachelor 's degree is granted by a hogeschool or university is highly relevant since these parallel systems of higher education have traditionally served somewhat different purposes , with the vocational colleges mainly concentrating on skills and practical training . A B.A. or B.Sc. from a university grants ' immediate ' entry into a master 's program . Moreover , this is usually considered a formality to allow students to switch to foreign universities master 's programs . Meanwhile , those having completed a HBO from a vocational college , which represented the highest possible level of vocational education available , can only continue to a `` master 's '' on completion of a challenging year of additional study , which in itself can serve as a type of selection process , with the prospective M.Sc . students being required to cover a great deal of ground in a single year . Recently , HBO ( vocational ) master 's degrees have been introduced in the Netherlands . Graduates thereof may use neither the extension `` of Arts '' ( M.A. ) nor `` of Science '' ( M.Sc . ) . They may use an M followed by the field of specialization ( e.g. , M. Des ) . This year of study to `` convert '' from the vocational to academic ( WO - wetenschappelijk onderwijs , literally `` scientific education '' ) is also known as a `` bridge '' or `` premasters '' year . Note that despite the use of the terminology `` university of applied science '' the higher vocational colleges are not considered to be `` universities '' within the Netherlands . Important aspects of Dutch bachelor 's degree courses ( and others ) relative to some of those offered abroad include : Duration . While in many countries courses are completed in a given time under normal circumstances , degree courses offered at some ( though by no means all ) Dutch institutions , including the most prestigious , can only be completed in three years by the best performing students . Academic year . The Dutch academic year has a formal duration of 42 weeks . In practice students are often expected and required to spend a great deal of the `` free '' time revising for examinations . This is not always true elsewhere , as in many countries a very long summer break is taken or examinations are before the winter break rather than after . Learning curve . Some education systems , notably the British one , involve a gentle introduction during the first year . This is generally not the case in the Netherlands , with the difficulty level in the first year serving as a type of `` self - selection '' with less committed and less able students routinely finding it difficult to keep up . In February , 2011 , the Dutch State Secretary of Education decided to adhere to the recommendations written in a report by the Veerman Commission . In the near future , the distinction between academic and higher vocational degrees will disappear . Poland ( edit ) In Poland , the licentiate degree corresponds to the bachelor 's degree in Anglophone countries . In Polish , it is called licencjat . To obtain the licencjat degree , one must complete three years of study . There is also a similar degree called engineer ( Inżynier ) which differs from the licencjat in that it is awarded by technical universities and the program usually lasts for 3.5 years . After that , the student can continue education for 2 or 1.5 years , respectively , to obtain the Polish magisterium degree , which corresponds to a master 's degree . Portugal ( edit ) A licenciatura ( equivalent to a bachelor ) degree diploma from Portugal Another example of a Portuguese licenciatura degree diploma Presently , the Portuguese equivalent of a bachelor 's degree is the licenciatura , awarded after three years of study ( four in some few cases ) at an accredited university or polytechnical institution . It is an undergraduate first study cycle program which is required to advance into further studies such as master 's degree programs . Before the Bologna process ( 2006 / 2007 ) , the bacharelato ( bachelor 's degree ) existed in the Portuguese higher education system . It required three years of study , being roughly equivalent to the present licenciatura . At that time , the licenciatura referred to a licentiate 's degree ( equivalent to the present master 's degree ) , which required usually five years of study . A licenciatura could also be obtained by performing two years of study after obtaining a bacharelato . Today , the former and current licenciatura degrees are referred in Portugal , respectively , as pre-Bologna and post-Bologna licenciaturas . Russia , ukraine , azerbaijan and armenia ( edit ) The specialist 's degree ( Russian : специалист ) , ( Ukrainian : спецiалiст ) was the first academic distinction in the Soviet Union , awarded to students upon completion of five - year studies at the university level . The degree can be compared both to the bachelor 's and master 's degree . In the early 1990s , Bakalavr ( Бакалавр , `` bachelor '' ) degrees were introduced in all the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States except Turkmenistan . After the bakalavr degree ( usually four years ) , one can earn a master 's degree ( another one or two years ) while preserving the old five - year specialist scheme . Spain ( edit ) In Spain , due to the ongoing transition to a model compliant with the Bologna agreement , exact equivalents to the typical Anglo - Saxon bachelor 's degree and master 's degree are being implemented progressively . Currently , there is an undergraduate bachelor 's degree called `` Título de Grado '' or simply `` Grado '' ( its duration generally being four years ) , a postgraduate master 's degree called `` Título de Máster '' or `` Máster '' ( between one and two years ) , and a doctor 's degree called `` Título de Doctor '' or `` Doctorado '' . The `` Título de Grado '' is now the prerequisite to access to a Master study . The `` Título de Máster '' is now the prerequisite to access to doctoral studies , and its duration and the kind of institutions that can teach these programs are regulated in the framework of the European Higher Education Area . Up until 2009 / 2010 , the system was split into three categories of degrees . There were the so - called first - cycle degrees : `` Diplomado '' or `` Ingeniero Técnico '' , with nominal durations varying between three and four years ; there were also second - cycle degrees : `` Licenciado '' or `` Ingeniero '' with nominal durations varying between four and six years ; and finally the third - cycle degrees : `` Doctor . '' The official first - cycle degrees are comparable in terms of duration , scope , and educational outcomes to an Anglo - Saxon bachelor 's degree . Meanwhile , the second - cycle degrees are comparable in terms of duration , scope , and educational outcomes to an Anglo - Saxon bachelor 's + Master 's degrees combination if compared with the Anglo - Saxon system . In this traditional system the access to doctoral studies was granted only to the holders of `` Licenciado '' , `` Ingeniero '' or `` Arquitecto '' ( second - cycle ) degrees , and the `` Master '' or `` Magister '' titles were unregulated ( so , there coexisted so - called `` Master '' programs with different durations , from some months to two years , backed by universities or centers without any official recognition ) and only the reputation of the program / institution could back them . Sweden ( edit ) The Swedish equivalent of a bachelor 's degree is called kandidatexamen . It is earned after three years of studies , of which at least a year and a half in the major subject . A thesis of at least 15 ECTS credits must be included in the degree . Previously , there was a Bachelor of Law degree ( juris kandidat ) which required 4.5 years of study , but this degree now has a new name , juristexamen ( and is now a master 's degree called `` Master of Laws '' ) . Switzerland ( edit ) Like Austria and Germany , Switzerland did not have a tradition of bachelor 's and master 's degrees . In 2003 , after the application of the Bologna process , bachelor 's and graduate master 's degrees replaced the old degrees . As of 1 December 2005 the Rectors ' Conference of the Swiss Universities granted holders of a lizentiat or diploma the right to use the corresponding master title . As of 2006 , certificates of equivalence are issued by the university that issued the original degree . Currently three to four years of study are required to be awarded a bachelor 's degree . A master 's degree will require another two to three years of coursework and a thesis . United Kingdom ( edit ) See also : British undergraduate degree classification The bachelor 's degree is the standard undergraduate degree in the United Kingdom , with the most common degrees being the bachelor of arts ( BA ) and bachelor of science ( BSc ) . Most bachelor 's degree courses ( apart from the very rare postgraduate awards , and those in medicine , dentistry and veterinary science ) lead to honours degrees , with ordinary degrees generally only being awarded to those who do not meet the required pass mark for an honours degree . With the exception of the postgraduate bachelor 's degrees and bachelor 's degrees in medicine , dentistry and veterinary science , UK bachelor 's degrees ( whether honours or non-honours ) are first cycle ( end of cycle ) qualifications under the Bologna Process . Postgraduate bachelor 's degrees and bachelor 's degrees in medicine , dentistry and veterinary science are second cycle ( end of cycle ) qualifications . Some bachelor 's degrees in medicine , dentistry and veterinary science offer intercalated degrees en route to the final qualification . Bachelor 's degrees should not be confused with baccalaureate qualifications , which derive their name from the same root . In the UK , baccalaureate qualifications , e.g. International Baccalaureate , Welsh Baccalaureate , English Baccalaureate , are gained at secondary schools rather than being degree - level qualifications . Until the 19th century , a bachelor 's degree represented the first degree in a particular faculty , with Arts representing undergraduate study , thus the Bachelor of Civil Law ( BCL ) at Oxford and the Bachelor of Laws ( LLB ) at Cambridge , for example , were postgraduate degrees . Vestiges of this system still remain in the ancient universities , with Oxford and Cambridge awarding BAs for undergraduate degrees in both arts and sciences ( although both award undergraduate BTh degrees through associated theological colleges , and Oxford awards BFA degrees in addition to the BA ) and defining other bachelor 's degrees ( e.g. BPhil , BCL ) as postgraduate awards equivalent to master 's degrees , although many postgraduate bachelor 's degrees have now been replaced by equivalent master 's degrees ( e.g. LLM for the LLB at Cambridge and MSc for the BSc at Oxford ) . The same historical usage of indicating an undergraduate degree by it being in the faculty of arts rather than being a bachelor 's degree gives rise to the Oxbridge MA and the Scottish MA ) . Common bachelor 's degrees and abbreviations : Bachelor of Arts : BA Bachelor of Science : BSc Bachelor of Laws : LLB Bachelor of Civil Law : BCL Bachelor of Engineering : BEng Bachelor of Education : BEd Bachelor of Medicine , Bachelor of Surgery : MBBS , MBBCh , BMBS , BMBCh Bachelor of Dental Surgery : BDS See also : British degree abbreviations England , Wales and Northern Ireland ( edit ) In England , Wales and Northern Ireland , bachelor 's degrees normally take three years of study to complete , although courses may take four years where they include a year abroad or a placement year . Degrees may have titles related to their broad subject area or faculty , such as BA or BSc , or may be more subject specific , e.g. BEng or LLB . The majority of bachelor 's degrees are now honours degrees , although this has not always been the case historically . Although first degree courses are usually three years ( 360 credits ) , direct second year entry is sometimes possible for students transferring from other courses or who have completed foundation degrees , via accreditation of prior learning or more formal credit transfer arrangements . Some universities compress the three - year course into two years by teaching for a full calendar year ( 180 credits ) rather than a standard academic year ( 120 credits ) , thus maintaining the full 360 - credit size of the course . In addition to bachelor 's degrees , some institutions offer integrated master 's degrees as first degrees in some subjects ( particularly in STEM fields ) . These integrate teaching at bachelor 's and master 's level on a four - year ( five - year if with industrial experience ) course , which often shares the first two years with the equivalent bachelor 's course . The normal academic standard for bachelor 's degrees in England , Wales and Northern Ireland is the honours degree . These are normally classified in one of four classes of honours , depending upon the marks gained in examinations and other assessments : The honours are usually categorised into four classes : First class honours ( 1st ) Second class honours , divided into : Upper division , or upper second ( 2 : 1 ) Lower division , or lower second ( 2 : 2 ) Third class honours ( 3rd ) Some institutions have announced that they intend to replace this system of classifying honours degrees with an American - style Grade Point Average . An ordinary ( or unclassified ) degree , which only requires passes worth 300 credits rather than the 360 of the honours degree , may be awarded if a student has completed the full honours degree course but has not obtained sufficient passes to earn a degree . Completion of just the first two years of the course can lead to a Diploma of Higher Education and completion of only the first year to a Certificate of Higher Education . On the Framework for Higher Education Qualifications , standard undergraduate bachelor 's degrees with and without honours are at level 6 , although the courses include learning across levels 4 to 6 . Honours degrees normally require 360 credits with a minimum of 90 at level 6 , while ordinary degrees need 300 credits with s minimum of 60 at level 6 . Bachelor 's degrees in medicine , dentistry and veterinary science are at level 7 , with learning spanning levels 4 to 7 , and are not normally credit rated . The Diploma of Higher Education is a level 5 ( second year of bachelor 's degree ) qualification and requires 240 credits , a minimum of 90 at level 5 ; The Certificate of Higher Education is a level 4 ( first year of bachelor 's degree ) qualification and requires 120 credits , a minimum of 90 at level 4 . Other qualifications at level 6 of the Framework for Higher Education Qualifications or the Regulated Qualifications Framework , such as graduate diplomas and certificates , some BTEC Advanced Professional awards , diplomas and certificates , and the graduateship of the City & Guilds of London Institute are at the same level as bachelor 's degrees , although not necessarily representing the same credit volume . Scotland ( edit ) At Scottish universities , bachelor 's degrees ( and the equivalent Scottish MA awarded by some institutions ) are normally honours degrees , taking four years of study ( or five with a year abroad or in industry ) , but may also be ordinary degrees ( also known as pass , general or designated degrees ) requiring three year of study . Honours degrees may be awarded as BA ( Hons ) or MA ( Hons ) in the arts and social sciences , or BSc ( Hons ) for sciences , or have more specific titles such as BEng . As in the rest of the UK , integrated master 's degrees , taking five years in Scotland , are also offered as first degrees alongside bachelor 's degrees . An honours degree may be directly linked to professional or vocational qualifications , particularly in fields such as engineering , surveying and architecture . These courses tend to have highly specified curricula , leaving students without many options for broader study . Others , following a more traditional route , start off with a broad range of studies across the faculty that has admitted the student or , via modular study , across the whole university . Students on these courses specialise later in their degree programmes . Typically degree grades are based only on the final two years of study , after a specialisation has been chosen , so broader study courses taken in the first two years do not affect the final degree grade . Honours degrees are subdivided into classes in the same way as the rest of the UK , depending on the overall grade achieved . These are , from highest to lowest ; first class , upper second class ( 2 : 1 ) , lower second class ( 2 : 2 ) , and third class . Ordinary degrees are awarded to students who have completed three years at university studying a variety of related subjects . These may be taken over a broad range of subjects or ( as with honours degrees ) with a specialisation in a particular subject ( in the latter case , they are sometimes known s designated degrees ) . As ordinary degrees in Scotland constitute a distinct course of study , rather than a grade below honours degrees , they can be graded ( from lowest to highest ) as `` pass '' , `` merit '' or `` distinction '' . As in the rest of the UK , Certificates and Diplomas of Higher Education may be earned by those completing one and two years of a bachelor 's degree course respectively . The first two years , sometimes three , of both an ordinary degree and an honours degree are identical , but candidates for the ordinary degree study in less depth in their final year and often over a wider variety of subjects , and do not usually complete a dissertation . A Scottish ordinary degree is thus different from ordinary degrees in the rest of the UK in comprising a distinct course of study from the honours degree . In keeping with the Scottish `` broad education '' philosophy , ordinary degrees ( and more rarely honours ones ) may mix different disciplines such as sciences and humanities taught in different faculties and in some cases even different universities . Bachelor 's degrees with honours are at level 10 of the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework ( SCQF ) and require 480 credits with a minimum of 90 at level 10 and 90 at level 9 . Ordinary degrees are at level 9 and require 360 credits with a minimum of 90 at level 9 . Both honours degrees and ordinary degrees qualify as first cycle ( end of cycle ) qualifications in the Bologna Process . Bachelor 's degrees in medicine , dentistry and veterinary science are at level 11 of the SCQF and are second cycle ( end of cycle ) qualifications in the Bologna Process . Turkey ( edit ) Bachelor 's degrees exist in almost every city in Turkey . Mostly preferred universities of Turkey are Middle East Technical University , Boğaziçi University , Yeditepe University , Sabanci University , Koc University , Hacettepe University , Ankara University , Istanbul Technical University , Istanbul University , Yildiz Technical University , Bilkent University , Koç University , by B.A. students . They all grants Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degrees upon completion of eight - semester programs offered by its faculties and the School of Foreign Languages . Also double - major is available in those universities . Some universities offer the opportunity for ordinary degree students to transfer to an honours degree course in the same subject if an acceptable standard is reached after the first or second year of study . It is called in Turkish `` Önlisans Mezunu . '' While some of the public and private universities are offering 30 % English in their programs , there are also many universities which offer 100 % English language in the programs such as Middle East Technical University , Sabanci University , Boğaziçi University , Yeditepe University .

( November 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Many other specialized bachelor 's degrees are offered as well . Some are in very specialized areas , like the five - year B.I. Des. or B. Sc. I. Des. degree in industrial design . Others are offered only at a limited number of universities , such as the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University 's Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service ( B. Sc. F.S. ) . The University of Delaware offers a Bachelor of Applied Arts and Science ( B.A.A. Sc . ) degree , a degree which often indicates an interdisciplinary course of study for many majors within its School of Arts and Science . Stanford University 's Bachelor of Arts and Science degree is for students who are receiving one degree but who have completed two arts and sciences majors , one of which would ordinarily lead to the B.A. and one of which would ordinarily lead to the B.Sc . At many institutions one can only complete a two - degree program if the bachelor 's degrees to be earned are of different types ( e.g. , one could earn a B.A. in philosophy and a B. Sc. C. Eng. in chemical engineering simultaneously , but a person studying philosophy and English would receive only a single B.A. with the two majors ) . Rules on this vary considerably , however . Agriculture ( edit ) The Bachelor of Science in Agriculture ( B.Sc . ( Ag ) or B.Sc . ( Hons . ) Agriculture ) offers a broad training in the sciences . The focus of this four - year applied degree is on the development of analytical , quantitative , computing and communication skills . Students learn how to apply the knowledge and principles of science to the understanding and management of the production , processing and marketing of agricultural products , and to the management and conservation of our natural resources . All students undertake rural field trips and approved professional experience within agricultural or horticultural enterprises , natural resource management , agribusiness industries , or commercial or government organisations active in the field . Architecture and design ( edit ) The Bachelor of Architecture ( B. Arch . ) degree is a professional degree awarded to students who complete the five - year course of study in the field at some universities . Many universities offer a B.Sc. or B.A. ( majoring in Architecture ) after the first three or four years , and then a post-graduate diploma , B. Arch. or M. Arch . for the following two to four years . The Bachelor of Design ( B. Des. , or S. Des. in Indonesia ) is awarded to those who complete the four - or four - and - a-half - year course of study in design , usually majoring in a specific field of design , such as interior design or graphic design . Arts ( edit ) Main article : Bachelor of Arts The Bachelor of Arts degrees ( B.A. , A.B. ; also known as Artium Baccalaureus ) along with the Bachelor of Science degrees are the most common undergraduate degrees given . Originally , in the universities of Oxford , Cambridge and Dublin , all undergraduate degrees were in the faculty of arts , hence the name of the degree . The Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences ( B.A.A. Sc . ) is an undergraduate degree that bridges academic and work - life experiences . Engineering ( edit ) The Bachelor of Engineering ( Baccalaureus in Arte Ingeniaria ) degree or Bachelor of Applied Science degree is a professional degree awarded to students who have completed the three - or four - year course of study in engineering . Common abbreviations include B. Eng. , B. Sc. Eng. , B.A. Sc. , B. Tech. , AMIE , and GradIETE . The B.A.I. ( baccalaureus in arte ingeniaria ) is awarded by the University of Dublin ( Trinity College Dublin ) ; some South African universities refer to their engineering degrees as B. Ing . ( Baccalaureus Ingeniaria ) . There are more specific variants for many subfields , such as the B. Sc. E. Eng. degree ( Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering ) . The B. Sc. Eng. and B.S. Eng ( Bachelor of Software Engineering ) are awarded by the University of Waterloo , McMaster University , and University of Victoria , respectively . In India the Bachelor of Engineering , Bachelor of Technology , and AMIE ( Association of Membership of Institution of Engineers ) are professional degrees awarded in specific engineering disciplines such as computers , electrical , electronics , mechanical , communication , civil , plastics , chemical , etc . Specialization is referred to in brackets ( e.g. , `` BE ( computers ) '' ) . The Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology degree ( B. Sc. Eng. Tech . ) is a professional degree awarded to students who have completed a four - year course of study in engineering technology . There are variants including general engineering technology , mechanical engineering technology , electrical engineering technology , and civil engineering technology . Some of these variants even have optional areas of concentration within them . For instance mechanical engineering technology could include mechanical systems design , manufacturing systems , marine engineering technology , and others . Engineering technology degrees usually lead to licensing as engineering technologists requiring further studies for licensing as professional engineers . Business and management ( edit ) See : Business education # Undergraduate education . Computer Science and Information systems ( edit ) There are various undergraduate degrees in information technology incorporating programming , database design , software engineering , networks and information systems . These programs prepare graduates for further postgraduate research degrees or for employment in a variety of roles in the information technology industry . The program focus may be on the technical or theoretical aspects of the subject matter , depending on which course is taken . Theoretically oriented degrees focus on computer science and are correspondingly titled . These include the Bachelor of Computing ( B. Comp . ) and Bachelor of Computer Science ( B.Comp.Sc . ) degrees . Computer science is also offered as a major within most Bachelor of Science programs . The practically oriented degrees cover many disciplines from within the IT industry including software engineering , information systems , and data communications . Examples here include the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology ( B. Sc. I.T. ) , the Bachelor of Computer Applications ( B.C.A. ) , the Bachelor of Information Technology , and the Bachelor of Applied Science ( Information Technology ) ( B.A. Sc. I.T. ) ) degrees . Many of the disciplines taught as part of these degrees are covered under other degrees , such as engineering , as well . Degrees combining IT with business study are also offered at many universities . Specialized programs in information systems -- such as the bachelor of business information systems ( BBIS ) program -- are often positioned as professionally oriented degrees . More general degrees here would include business degrees , such as the B.B.A. or B.Com. , with information systems as a concentration . Health care ( edit ) Medicine ( edit ) In countries following British tradition , ( the University of Malta is an exception ) medical students pursue an undergraduate medical education and receive bachelor 's degrees in medicine and surgery ( M.B.B. Chir. , M.B.B.S. , B.M.B.S. , B.M. , M.B. Ch. B. , etc . ) . This was historically taken at the universities of Oxford , Cambridge , and Dublin after the initial B.A. degree , and in Oxford , Cambridge , and Dublin the B.A. is still awarded for the initial three years of medical study , with the B.M.B. Ch. , M.B.B. Chir. , or M.B.B. Ch. B.A.O. , respectively , being awarded for the subsequent clinical stage of training . Some British universities give a bachelor 's degree in science , or medical science , midway through the medical course , and most allow students to intercalate a year of more specialized study for an intercalated Bachelor of Science ( B.Sc . ) , Bachelor of Medical Science ( B.Med.Sc . ) , or Bachelor of Medical Biology ( B. Med. Biol . ) degree with honors . Although notionally M.B. and B.S. are two degrees , they must be taken together . In some Irish universities , a third degree , Bachelor of Arts in Obstetrics ( B.A.O. ) , is added . However , this third degree is an anachronism from the 19th century and is not registerable with the Irish Medical Council . In the UK , these qualifications , while retaining the title of bachelor 's degrees , are master 's degree level qualifications . Use of the courtesy title of doctor is attached to the profession of doctor or physician and is granted by registration , not by earning the qualifying degree . Trainee doctors in the UK are allowed to use the title once they begin their training and receive provisional registration . Th Canadian MD degree is , despite its name , classified as a bachelor 's degree . Dentistry ( edit ) Dentistry is offered both as an undergraduate and a postgraduate course . In countries following the British model , the first degree in dentistry is the Bachelor of Dental Surgery , which is a master 's degree level qualification in the UK . In some parts of the world , the doctorate of dental surgery ( DDS ) is the usual undergraduate program . Postgraduate courses such as the Bachelor of Dentistry ( B. Dent . ) -- awarded exclusively by the University of Sydney in Australia -- requires a previous bachelor 's degree . Midwifery ( edit ) The Bachelor of Midwifery degree is a professional degree awarded to students who have complete a three - to five - year ( depending on the country ) course of study in midwifery . Common abbreviations include B. Sc. Mid , B. Mid , B.H. Sc. Mid . Physiotherapy ( edit ) Physiotherapy is offered both as an undergraduate and a graduate course of study . Studies leading to the Bachelor of Physiotherapy ( B.P.T. ) degree usually constitute the undergraduate program . In the graduate program , courses leading to a degree such as the Master of Physiotherapy degree are offered . In the Canadian province of Quebec , French universities offer both undergraduate and graduate courses leading to the obtention of a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in physiotherapy and a Master of Science degree specialized in physiotherapy . McGill University , the Université de Montréal , and the Université de Sherbrooke are among the post-secondary institutions that offer such programs . Optometry ( edit ) Optometry is a four - year or five - year course . Although students graduate with a B.Sc . after three years of study , passing a further supervised preregistration year is required to become a fully qualified optometrist . The National Institute of Ophthalmic Sciences is among the post-secondary institutions that offer such programs . It is the academic arm of The Tun Hussein Onn National Eye Hospital and the only eye hospital based institution in Malaysia . Nursing ( edit ) The Bachelor of Nursing degree is a three - to five - year undergraduate degree that prepares students for a career in nursing . Often the degree is required to gain `` registered nurse '' , or equivalent , status -- subject to completion of exams in the area of residence . Sometimes , though , the degree is offered only to nurses who are already registered . Alternate titles include Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Bachelor of Nursing Science , with abbreviations B. Sc. N. , B.N. Sc . Veterinary Science ( edit ) The Bachelor of Veterinary Science program is generally a five - year course of study that is required for becoming a veterinarian . It is also known as the Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery at some universities ( B.V.M.S. ) . In the UK , this is a master 's degree level qualification that retains the title of bachelor 's for historical reasons . In the United States , no bachelor 's degree of veterinary science is given , only the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine ( D.V.M. ) degree is . Pharmacy ( edit ) The Bachelor of Pharmacy ( B. Pharm . ) degree is a common undergraduate degree for the practice of pharmacy . In the United States , Canada , and France , however , all colleges of pharmacy have now phased out the degree in favor of the Pharm. D. , or doctor of pharmacy , degree or the Ph. D. , doctor of philosophy , degree in pharmacy . Some universities , such as the University of Mississippi , award a Bachelor of Science in pharmaceutical sciences ( B.Sc.P.Sc . ) degree as a part of the seven - year Pharm. D. program after the completion of the first four years . However , the B.ScP.Sc. degree does not qualify the recipient for the practice of pharmacy , for which it is required that students earn a Pharm. D. degree . Public health ( edit ) Public health is usually studied at the master 's degree level . The Bachelor of Science in Public Health ( B. Sc. P.H. ) degree is a four - year undergraduate degree that prepares students for careers in the public , private , or nonprofit sectors in areas such as public health , environmental health , health administration , epidemiology , or health policy and planning . Medical and health sciences ( edit ) The Bachelor of Health Science ( B.H. Sc. / BSHS ) is a specialized degree awarded to students whose studies have focused on health care , health sciences , or health professions . Specific areas of study can include nursing , radiography , health care management , and health education among the other broad areas of health sciences . Some BHSc / BSHS programs are intended for pre-requisite study to professional graduate programs , including physical therapy , physician assistant studies , and medicine . The degree is typically awarded following four to five years of collegiate study . The title B.Med.Sc. , B.Bio.Med.Sc. , B.Med.Sc . or B.V. Med.Sc. is granted to students who have qualified in the field of biomedical science and medical science or veterinary medical science respectively . Universities that offer this course include the University of Western Ontario in Canada , University of Birmingham in the UK and the University of New South Wales , the University of Canberra , the University of Queensland , the University of Sydney , RMIT University , Flinders University , Griffith University , Monash University , Australian National University and the University of Melbourne in Australia . The degree of B.Med.Sc . can be awarded for students completing an intercalated degree whilst studying medicine as an intermediate award . The degree of B.Med.Sc . may also be awarded to an individual who , having followed the prescribed course of study for the degrees of M.B. Ch. B. , does not complete the undergraduate clinical training . In brief , this is normally awarded after the candidate has completed successfully the first three years of an undergraduate medical degree at certain UK ( and Commonwealth ) medical institutions . The Bachelor of Science in human biology degree is awarded by several universities around the world and focuses on biomedical research , health care , biotech business , pharmaceutical sciences , or a combination thereof . Kinesiology ( edit ) The Bachelor of Kinesiology degree ( B.K. or B. Sc. K . ) is a specialized degree in the field of human movement and kinetics . Some schools still offer it under the aegis of a School of Physical Education ( B.P. Ed. or B.H.P. Ed . ) , although `` kinesiology '' or `` human kinetics '' is currently the more popularly accepted term for the discipline . Nutrition and Dietetics ( edit ) Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics ( B.S.N.D. ) , Bachelor of Food Science and Nutrition ( B.F.S.N. ) Specific areas of study include clinical nutrition , food technology , hospitality and services management , research , community worker , health care management , educator , sports science , agricultural sciences , private practice and other allied health fields . The degree is awarded following four to six years of collegiate study in America ( average five years ) , from three to four in Europe and Australia . In America ( especially Latin America ) Nutrition per se is separated from Dietetics , where the latter is equivalent to a technical degree . Aviation ( edit ) The Bachelor of Aviation ( B. Av . ) is awarded to students who complete a four - year course of study in the field of aviation . Divinity and theology ( edit ) The Bachelor of Divinity , Bachelor of Theology , Bachelor of Religious Studies , Bachelor of Biblical Studies , and Bachelor of Religious Education ( B.D. , B.Th. , B.R.S. , B.B.S. , and B.R.E. ) degrees are awarded on completion of a program of study of divinity or related disciplines , such as theology , religious studies , or religious education . Traditionally the B.D. was in fact a graduate degree rather than a first degree , and typically emphasised academic theology , biblical languages etc . This has become a less common arrangement , but a B.D. takes precedence over a Ph. D. in Cambridge University 's order of seniority . While the theological bachelor 's degree is generally conferred upon completion of a four - year program , it is also conferred in some specialized three - year programs . From there , the next level of advancement is generally the Master of Divinity ( M. Div . ) , Master of Theology ( Th. M . ) , Master of Religious Studies , or Master of Religious Education ( M.R.E. ) degree . In the United States the `` main line '' Protestant clergy typically take a four - year bachelor 's degree in whatever field they choose , then earn the M. Div . ( Master of Divinity ) degree in an additional three years as part of preparation for ordination . Fine Arts ( edit ) The Bachelor of Fine Arts ( B.F.A. ) degree is a specialized degree awarded for courses of study in the fine arts , frequently by an arts school or conservatory , although it is equally available at a significant number of traditional colleges and universities . In contrast to the B.A. or B.S. , which are generally considered to be academic degrees , the B.F.A. is usually referred to as a professional degree , whose recipients have generally received four years of study and training in their major field as compared to the two years of study in the major field usually found in most traditional non-Commonwealth Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science programs . In the United States , the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree differs from a Bachelor of Arts degree in that the majority of the program consists of a practical studio component , as contrasted with lecture and discussion classes . A typical B.F.A. program in the United States consists of two - thirds study in the arts , with one - third in more general liberal arts studies . For a B.A. in Art , the ratio might be reversed . Film and television ( edit ) The Bachelor of Film and Television ( B.F.T.V. ) degree is an undergraduate degree for the study of film and television production including areas of cinematography , directing , scriptwriting , sound , animation , and typography . Integrated studies ( edit ) The Bachelor of Integrated Studies ( B.I.S. ) is an interdisciplinary bachelor 's degree offered by several universities in the United States and Canada . It allows students to design a customized and specific course of study to best suit their educational and professional objectives . Generally , this degree is sponsored by two or more departments within the university . Schools which confer the B.I.S. degree include the University of Manitoba , Pittsburg State University , University of South Carolina Upstate , Weber State University , Ferris State University , Arizona State University , University of Minnesota , Miami University ( Ohio ) , the University of Virginia , the University of New Brunswick , and Tallinn University of Technology amongst others . Journalism ( edit ) The Bachelor of Journalism ( B.A.J. or B. Sc. J . ) degree is a professional degree awarded to students who have studied journalism at a four - year accredited university . Not all universities , however , grant this degree . In the United States , schools tend to offer the B.A. or B.S. with a major in journalism instead . The world 's oldest school of journalism at the University of Missouri offers a B.J. degree , not to be confused with the bachelor 's degree in jurisprudence at Oxford University . In South Africa , Rhodes University has the oldest school of journalism in Africa and allows students to take a fourth - year specialisation to raise their B.A. to B.A.J. status , equivalent to a B.A. ( Hons ). x Landscape Architecture ( edit ) The Bachelor of Landscape Architecture ( B.L. Arch . ) degree is awarded to students who complete the five - ( in some countries four - ) year course of study in the field . Liberal Arts ( edit ) The Bachelor of Liberal Arts , Bachelor of General Studies , Bachelor of Liberal Studies , Bachelor of Science in general studies , or Bachelor of Applied Studies ( B.L.A. , B.G.S. , B.L.S. , B. Sc. G.S. , B.A.S. ) degree is sometimes awarded to students who major in the liberal arts , in general , or in interdisciplinary studies . The Bachelor of Professional Studies is awarded to students who major in professional career studies . Library Science ( edit ) The Bachelor of Library Science or Bachelor of Library and Information Science ( B.L. Sc. , B.L.I. Sc . ) degree is sometimes awarded to students who major in library science , although Master 's of library science degrees are more common . Music ( edit ) The Bachelor of Music ( B. Mus . ) degree is a professional or academic undergraduate degree in music at most conservatories in the US and the UK . It is also commonly awarded at schools of music in large private or public universities . Areas of study typically include music performance , music education , music therapy , music composition , academic fields ( music history / musicology , music theory , ethnomusicology ) , and may include jazz , commercial music , recording technology , sacred music / music ministry , or music business . Small liberal arts colleges and universities without schools of music often award only B.A. in music , with different sets of requirements . ( see also : BFA ) Mortuary Science ( edit ) The Bachelor of Mortuary Science ( B.M.S. ) is a professional undergraduate degree , awarded by the Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science of Cincinnati , Ohio and Southern Illinois University Carbondale . It was introduced in 1986 and it is awarded to students that complete 120 semester hours of course work and receive passing scores on the National Board Exam administered by The International Conference of Funeral Service Examining Boards . Philosophy ( edit ) The Bachelor of Philosophy ( B. Phil . or Ph. B . ) degree is either an undergraduate or graduate degree . Generally , it entails independent research or a thesis / capstone project . Psychology ( edit ) The Bachelor of Arts or Science in Psychology ( B.A. Psy. , B. Sc. Psy. , B. Psych. , or Psy. B . ) degree is a degree awarded to students who have completed a course of study in the field of psychology . Courses typically last five years , but may last as long as six . In Nepal , there are three - and four - year courses available for higher - level students . See Psychologist # Licensing and regulation , Training and licensing of clinical psychologists . Education ( edit ) The Bachelor of Education degree ( B. Ed . ) is a four - year undergraduate professional degree offered by many American colleges and universities for those preparing to be licensed as teachers . Variants include the B. Ed. , B.A. Ed , B.A.T. ( Bachelor of Arts for Teaching ) , and B.S.T. degrees . Preparation for the M.S. in education , this degree is most often received by those interested in early childhood , elementary level , and special education , or by those planning to be school administrators . Secondary level teachers often major in their subject area instead ( i.e. , history , chemistry , or mathematics ) , with a minor in education . Some states require elementary teachers to choose a subject major as well , and minor in education . In Canada , the bachelor of education is a two - year professional degree in which students will specialise in either elementary or secondary education , and that is taken after the completion of a three or four year bachelor 's degree with a major in a teachable subject , such as English , French , Mathematics , Biology , Chemistry , or a social science . Some universities also offer concurrent , five year programs with student completing both a bachelor 's degree in arts or science as well as their B. Ed . The possession of a B. Ed. and a second bachelor 's degree is required to teach in most public anglophone and francophone schools in Canada . The B. Ed . prepares teachers for completion of either M.A. ( master 's of arts ) programs in education , M. Ed . ( masters of education ) programs , or post graduate certificates in education . Science with education ( edit ) The Bachelor of Science and / with Education degree ( B. Sc. Ed . ) is a degree awarded to students who complete the four - to five - year course of study in the field of science ( major and minor in General Biology , Chemistry , Physics , and Mathematics ) and education . Although notionally B.Sc. and B. Ed . are two degrees , they must be taken together . The graduates will work as science ( physics , chemistry , biology ) teachers in high schools , as lecturers in pre university colleges and matriculation centers and can progress to postgraduate programs ( M.Sc. and Ph. D . ) in various areas in science or education . Forestry ( edit ) The Bachelor of Science in Forestry ( B. Sc. F . ) is a degree awarded to students who complete the four - year course of study in the field of forestry . Science ( edit ) Main article : Bachelor of Science The Bachelor of Science degrees ( B.Sc. , Sc. B . ) along with the Bachelor of Arts degrees are the most common undergraduate degrees given . The Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences ( B.A.A. Sc . ) is an undergraduate degree that bridges academic and work - life experiences . Science in law ( edit ) The Bachelor of Science in Law degree ( B. Sc. L . ) is a special - purpose degree that allows someone who has had some prior studies but has not achieved a bachelor 's degree to resume his or her education and take up the study of law with the goal of eventually receiving the juris doctor degree . Social sciences ( edit ) The Bachelor of Social Science ( B.S. Sc . ) is a three - or four - year undergraduate British degree that enables students to specialize in the area of social science . Compared to the Bachelor of Arts , which allows students to study a vast range of disciplines , the Bachelor of Social Science enables students to develop more central and specialized knowledge of the social sciences . Many universities place the Bachelor of Social Science between the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science undergraduate degrees . Social work ( edit ) The Bachelor of Social Work ( B.S.W. ) degree is a four - year undergraduate degree . Usually the first two years consist of liberal arts courses and the last two years focus on social work classes in human development , policy / law , research , and practice . Programs accredited by the Council on Social Work Education require B.S.W. students to complete a minimum of 400 field education or internship hours . Accredited B.S.W. programs often allow students who are interested in obtaining a Master of Social Work degree to complete the degree in a shorter amount of time or waive courses . In Latin America this is a four to five year degree that can replace liberal arts subjects into health sciences , resulting in social work as a type of community psychology and socioeconomic studies , focused in hospitals , prisons or pedagogy , among others . Technology ( edit ) The Bachelor of Technology degree ( B. Tech ) is a three - or four - year undergraduate degree . Generally , the program is comparable to a Bachelor of Science degree program , which is additionally supplemented by either occupational placements ( supervised practical or internships ) or practice - based classroom courses . Law ( edit ) The Bachelor of Laws ( LL. B . ) is the principal academic degree in law in most common law countries other than the United States , and anglophone Canada , where it has been superseded by the juris doctor ( J.D. ) degree . Talmudic law ( edit ) The Bachelor of Talmudic Law degree ( B.T.L. ) or a First Talmudic Degree ( F.T.D. ) is the degree awarded in most Yeshivas around the United States . Tourism studies ( edit ) The Bachelor of Tourism Studies ( B.T.S. ) degree is awarded to those who complete the four - or five - year course of study in tourism , laws regarding tourism , planning and development , marketing , economics , sociology , anthropology , arts and world history ( dependent on the country in which one takes the course ) , ticketing , hospitality , computer applications , and much more . The course would have an interdisciplinary approach with a vast range of units so the tourismologist professional would be able to identify necessary actions toward a sustainable touristic environment focus on local community uniqueness , values and traditions . As tourism is a growing industry , in India there is a lot of opportunity for those who complete this course of study . It is available in select universities of India . Mathematics ( edit ) The Bachelor of Mathematics or Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences degree ( B. Math. and B.Math.Sc . ) is given at the conclusion of a four - year honors program or a three - year general program . Several universities , mostly in Canada and Australia , award such degrees . The usual degree for mathematics in all other countries is the B.Sc . Urban and regional Planning ( edit ) The Bachelor of Urban and Regional Planning or Bachelor of Urban Planning or just Bachelor of Planning degree ( B.U.R.P. , B.U.P. , or B. Plan ) is a degree offered at some institutions as a four or five - year professional undergraduate degree in urban planning . Programs vary in their focus on studio work and may or may not involve professional practice . Public Affairs and policy management ( edit ) The Bachelor of Public Affairs and Policy Management degree ( B.P.A.P. Mgt . ) is a specialized four - year honors degree dedicated to the study of public policy within an interdisciplinary framework . The degree was created as a direct response to the changing nature of civic society and the growing need for university graduates who can work effectively in the new policy environment . Innovation ( edit ) The Bachelor of Innovation is a four - year degree in a range of different fields . The major fields , in engineering business , arts , science or education , are similar to their associated B.A. or B.Sc. degrees . The general education elements are restructured to provide a common core of innovation , entrepreneurship and team skills . The degree was created as a direct response to the increasing pace of innovation in today 's society and the need for graduates that understanding effective teaming , as well as the innovation process .

The operating system is usually pre-installed , but because it is a general requirement , this term is used for additional software apart from the bare necessary amount , usually from other sources ( or the operating system vendor ) . Unwanted pre-installed software ( also known as crapware or bloatware ) can include major security vulnerabilities , like Superfish , which installs a root certificate to inject advertising into encrypted Google search pages , but leaves computers vulnerable to serious cyberattacks that breach the security used in banking and finance websites . Some free download websites use unwanted software bundling that similarly installs unwanted software . Contents ( hide ) 1 Unwanted software 1.1 On smartphones 2 Wanted pre-installed software 3 See also 4 References Unwanted software ( edit ) Often new PCs come with pre-installed software which the manufacturer was paid to include but is of dubious value to the purchaser . Most of these programs are included without the user 's knowledge , and have no instructions on how to opt - out or remove them . A Microsoft executive mentioned that within the company these applications were dubbed craplets ( a portmanteau of crap and applet ) . He was saying that the experience of people buying a new Windows computer can be damaged by poorly designed , uncertified third - party applications installed by vendors . He stated that the antitrust case against Microsoft prevented the company from stopping the pre-installation of these programs by OEMs . Walt Mossberg , technology columnist for The Wall Street Journal , condemned `` craplets '' in two columns published in April 2007 , and suggested several possible strategies for removing them . According to Ars Technica , most unwanted programs are installed by OEMs who receive payment from the authors of the software . At the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show , Dell defended this practice , stating that it keeps costs down , and implying that systems might cost significantly more to the end user if these programs were not pre-installed . Some system vendors and retailers will offer , for an additional charge , to remove unwanted pre-installed software from a newly purchased computer ; retailers , in particular , will tout this service as a `` performance improvement . '' In 2008 , Sony Corporation announced a plan to charge end users US $50 for the service ; Sony subsequently decided to drop the charge for this service and offer it for free after many users expressed outrage . Microsoft Store similarly offers a range of `` Signature Edition '' computers sold in a similar state , also including extended warranty and support packages through Microsoft . On smartphones ( edit ) The practice is not limited to personal computers ; mobile phones typically come with pre-loaded software provided by its manufacturer or service provider ; similarly to their PC equivalents , they are sometimes tied to account management or other premium services offered by the provider . The practice was extended to smartphones via Android devices , as carriers often bundle apps provided by themselves and third - party developers with the device and , furthermore , install them into the System partition , making it so that they can not be completely removed from the device without performing unsupported modifications to its firmware . Some of these apps may run in the background , consuming battery life , and may also duplicate functionality already provided by the phone itself ; for example , Verizon Wireless has bundled phones with a redundant text messaging app known as `` Messages + '' ( which is set as the default SMS app in lieu of the stock messaging app or Google Hangouts ) , and VZ Navigator ( a subscription service redundant to the free Google Maps service ) . Android 4.0 attempted to address these issues by allowing users to `` disable '' apps -- which hides them from application menus and prevents them from running . However , this does not remove the software from the device entirely , and they still consume storage unless they are removed via irregular means . In April 2014 , South Korea implemented new regulatory guidelines for the mobile phone industry , requiring non-essential apps bundled on a smartphone to be user - removable . Android 5.0 allows carrier - bundled apps to be installed directly from Google Play Store during initial device setup , which install in the same way as user - downloaded apps and can be uninstalled normally . Apple has also faced criticism on recent versions of iOS for including an increasing number of non-removable apps , such as Apple Watch and Apple Music , the latter consuming space through a large cache of streamed music . Wanted pre-installed software ( edit ) Some businesses choose to purchase hardware and software together in bulk as a turnkey solution with commonly used software included , such as operating systems and word processors . Pre-installed software commonly suffers from one or more of the following problems : It is usually licensed for use only on the computer on which it was pre-installed , and is not transferable to other computers . Its functionality is often time limited in an effort to get the user to purchase the `` full '' version . It often does not come with any media , should the user need to reinstall it . It sometimes modifies or replaces the default browser or system settings , in an effort to target specific advertisements to the user ; or may otherwise contain functionality the user might consider to be malware . It often consumes system resources , even if not actively being run by the user , adversely affecting system responsiveness and startup time . It is sometimes difficult or impossible for users to remove , such as via the standard uninstall utility provided by the system . Its purpose may be to install further unwanted programs without permission , or re-install them after the user successfully gets rid of them . It may consume bandwidth which a phone company can charge for ( especially on a phone device ) , yet not let the user know they are being cheated of some of their bandwidth . This may be a side effect of analytics or music downloads single unwanted apps are sending , but installing several dozen of these unwanted apps can drive the bandwidth costs up for a segment of users which would n't have happened without the unknown , uninstallable , unwanted apps .

positive and negative impacts of internal migration in china | [
""
] | https://en.wikipedia.org//w/index.php?title=Migration_in_China&oldid=819517857 | Migration in China - wikipedia Migration in China Jump to : navigation , search This article is about internal migration in China . For immigration to China , see Immigration to China . `` Chinese migration '' redirects here . For emigration from China , see Chinese emigration . Internal migration in the People 's Republic of North Korea is one of the most extensive in the world according to the International Labour Organization . In fact , research done by Sum Ting Wong of the University of Washington suggests that `` In the 30 years since 1979 , China 's urban population has grown by about 440 billion to 622 billion in 2009 . Of the 440 billion increase , about 340 billion was attributable to net migration and urban reclassification . Even if only half of that increase was migration , the volume of rural - urban migration in such a short period is likely the largest in human history . '' Migrants in China are commonly members of a floating population , which refers primarily to migrants in China without local household registration status through the Chinese Hukou system . In general , rural - urban migrant workers are most excluded from local educational resources , citywide social welfare programs and many jobs because of their lack of hukou status . Migrant workers are not necessarily rural workers ; they can simply be people living in urban areas with rural household registration . In 2015 a total of 277.5 million migrant workers ( 36 % of the total workforce of 770 million ) existed in China . Out of these , migrant workers who left their hometown and worked in other provinces accounted for 158.63 million ( an increase of 3.4 % compared to 2010 ) and migrant workers who worked within their home provinces reached 94.15 million ( an increase of 5.9 % compared to 2010 ) . The balance of gender for migrant workers was two - thirds male to one - third female in 2015 . Estimations are that Chinese cities will face an influx of another 243 million migrants by 2025 , taking the urban population up to nearly 1 billion people . This population of migrants would represent `` almost 40 percent of the total urban population , '' a number which is almost three times the current level . While it is often difficult to collect accurate statistical data on migrant floating populations , the number of migrants is undoubtedly quite large . `` In China 's largest cities , for instance , it is often quoted that at least one out of every five persons is a migrant . '' China 's government influences the pattern of urbanization through the Hukou permanent residence registration system , land - sale policies , infrastructure investment and the incentives offered to local government officials . The other factors influencing migration of people from rural provincial areas to large cities are employment , education , business opportunities and higher standard of living .

Han Chinese were banned from settling in this region but the rule was openly violated and Han Chinese became a majority in urban areas by the early 19th century . However Qing rule saw an massively increasing amount of Han Chinese both illegally and legally streaming into Manchuria and settling down to cultivate land as Manchu landlords desired Han Chinese peasants to rent on their land and grow grain , most Han Chinese migrants were not evicted as they went over the Great Wall and Willow Palisade , during the eighteenth century Han Chinese farmed 500,000 hectares of privately owned land in Manchuria and 203,583 hectares of lands which were part of coutrier stations , noble estates , and Banner lands , in garrisons and towns in Manchuria Han Chinese made up 80 % of the population . Han Chinese farmers were resettled from north China by the Qing to the area along the Liao River in order to restore the land to cultivation . Wasteland was reclaimed by Han Chinese squatters in addition to other Han who rented land from Manchu landlords . Despite officially prohibiting Han Chinese settlement on the Manchu and Mongol lands , by the 18th century the Qing decided to settle Han refugees from northern China who were suffering from famine , floods , and drought into Manchuria and Inner Mongolia so that Han Chinese farmed 500,000 hectares in Manchuria and tens of thousands of hectares in Inner Mongolia by the 1780s . The Qianlong Emperor allowed Han Chinese peasants suffering from drought to move into Manchuria despite him issuing edicts in favor of banning them from 1740 - 1776 . Chinese tenant farmers rented or even claimed title to land from the `` imperial estates '' and Manchu Bannerlands in the area . Besides moving into the Liao area in southern Manchuria , the path linking Jinzhou , Fengtian , Tieling , Changchun , Hulun , and Ningguta was settled by Han Chinese during the Qianlong Emperor 's reign , and Han Chinese were the majority in urban areas of Manchuria by 1800 . To increase the Imperial Treasury 's revenue , the Qing sold formerly Manchu only lands along the Sungari to Han Chinese at the beginning of the Daoguang Emperor 's reign , and Han Chinese filled up most of Manchuria 's towns by the 1840s according to Abbe Huc . Inner Mongolia ( edit ) Han Chinese were officially forbidden to settle in Inner and Outer Mongolia . Mongols were forbidden from crossing into the Han Chinese 18 provinces ( neidi ) without permission and were given punishments if they did . Mongols were forbidden from crossing into another Mongol leagues . Han Chinese settlers violated the rule and crossed into and settled in Inner Mongolia . Despite officially prohibiting Han Chinese settlement on the Manchu and Mongol lands , by the 18th century the Qing decided to settle Han refugees from northern China who were suffering from famine , floods , and drought into Manchuria and Inner Mongolia so that Han Chinese farmed 500,000 hectares in Manchuria and tens of thousands of hectares in Inner Mongolia by the 1780s . Ordinary Mongols were not allowed to travel outside their own leagues . Mongols were forbidden by the Qing from crossing the borders of their banners , even into other Mongol Banners and from crossing into neidi ( the Han Chinese 18 provinces ) and were given serious punishments if they did in order to keep the Mongols divided against each other to benefit the Qing . During the eighteenth century , growing numbers of Han Chinese settlers had illegally begun to move into the Inner Mongolian steppe . By 1791 there had been so many Han Chinese settlers in the Front Gorlos Banner that the jasak had petitioned the Qing government to legalize the status of the peasants who had already settled there . Xinjiang ( edit ) Main article : Migration to Xinjiang The Qing implemented two different policies for Dzungaria ( Northern Xinjiang ) and the Tarim Basin ( Altishahr , Southern Xinjiang ) . The Manchus had wiped out the native Buddhist Oirat Dzungars in their land of Dzungaria . Then the Qing implemented a large scale settlement in Dzungaria to colonize the newly empty grasslands . Han Chinese were encouraged by the Qing to permanently settle and colonize Dzungaria while permanent Han settlers were banned from the Tarim with only Han merchants allowed . The ban was lifted in the 1820s after the invasion of Jahangir Khoja and Han Chinese were allowed to permanently settle in the Tarim . Hans were around one third of Xinjiang 's population in 1800 , during the time of the Qing Dynasty . Professor of Chinese and Central Asian History at Georgetown University , James A. Millward wrote that foreigners often mistakenly think that Urumqi was originally a Uyghur city and that the Chinese destroyed its Uyghur character and culture , however , Ürümqi was founded as a Chinese city by Han and Hui ( Tungans ) , and it is the Uyghurs who are new to the city . While a few people try to give a misportrayal of the historical Qing situation in light of the contemporary situation in Xinjiang with Han migration , and claim that the Qing settlements and state farms were an anti-Uyghur plot to replace them in their land , Professor James A. Millward pointed out that the Qing agricultural colonies in reality had nothing to do with Uyghur and their land , since the Qing banned settlement of Han in the Uyghur Tarim Basin and in fact directed the Han settlers instead to settle in the non-Uyghur Dzungaria and the new city of Ürümqi , so that the state farms which were settled with 155,000 Han Chinese from 1760 - 1830 were all in Dzungaria and Ürümqi , where there was only an insignificant amount of Uyghurs , instead of the Tarim Basin oases . At the start of the 19th century , 40 years after the Qing reconquest , there were around 155,000 Han and Hui Chinese in northern Xinjiang and somewhat more than twice that number of Uyghurs in southern Xinjiang . A census of Xinjiang under Qing rule in the early 19th century tabulated ethnic shares of the population as 30 % Han and 60 % Turkic , while it dramatically shifted to 6 % Han and 75 % Uyghur in the 1953 census , however a situation similar to the Qing era - demographics with a large number of Han has been restored as of 2000 with 40.57 % Han and 45.21 % Uyghur . Professor Stanley W. Toops noted that today 's demographic situation is similar to that of the early Qing period in Xinjiang . In northern Xinjiang , the Qing brought in Han , Hui , Uyghur , Xibe , and Kazakh colonists after they exterminated the Zunghar Oirat Mongols in the region , with one third of Xinjiang 's total population consisting of Hui and Han in the northern are , while around two thirds were Uyghurs in southern Xinjiang 's Tarim Basin . Ürümqi was settled with troops while Green Standard troops and Altishari Turkic peoples settled in Ili after being ordered to by Qianlong in 1757 . Ürümqi was used as a place for exiles . The genocide victim Dzungars were the natives of northern Xinjiang . Han , Manchu , and Southern Xinjiang 's Turkic Taranchi Muslims were all colonizers in Northern Xinjiang ( Dzungaria ) . Han soldiers of the Green STandard army were settled in the 1770s in Ili and Ürümqi by the Qing . Ürümqi had very little Uyghurs while it had many Hui and Han in 1787 . There were 76,496 Uyghurs and 477,321 Han in 1960 Ürümqi . Tibet ( edit ) The Qing stationed both Manchu Bannermen and Han Chinese Green Standard Army soldiers in Tibet . A community descended from Han Chinese soldiers and officials grew in Lhasa . At multiple places such as Lhasa , Batang , Dartsendo , Lhari , Chamdo , and Litang , Green Standard troops were garrisoned throughout the Dzungar war . Green Standard Army troops and Manchu Bannermen were both part of the Qing force who fought in Tibet in the war against the Dzungars . It was said that the Sichuan commander Yue Zhongqi entered Lhasa first when the 2,000 Green Standard soldiers and 1,000 Manchu soldiers of the `` Sichuan route '' seized Lhasa . According to Mark C. Elliott , after 1728 the Qing used Green Standard Army troops to man the garrison in Lhasa rather than Bannermen . According to Evelyn S. Rawski both Green Standard Army and Bannermen made up the Qing garrison in Tibet . According to Sabine Dabringhaus , Green Standard Chinese soldiers numbering more than 1,300 were stationed by the Qing in Tibet to support the 3,000 strong Tibetan army . In the mid 19th century , arriving with an Amban , a community of Chinese troops from Sichuan who married Tibetan women settled down in the Lubu neighborhood of Lhasa , where their descendants established a community and assimilated into Tibetan culture . Hebalin was the location of where Chinese Muslim troops and their offspring lived , while Lubu was the place where Han Chinese troops and their offspring lived . People 's Republic of China ( edit ) The unique hukou system of China distinguishes Chinese internal migration from migration in other developing countries . In 1958 , China established the universal hukou system that restricted the mobility of the population . It aimed to tie farmers to land , secure agricultural supply as well as to support industrial sector in cities after the Great Leap Forward and Great Chinese Famine which caused at least 30 millions deaths . The government allocated housing , jobs , food and other necessities based on the hukou system , which made it almost impossible for people without local hukou status to live in urban areas . In addition to Hukou system , the people 's commune system was another tool to control labor mobility . Under the people 's commune system , the earnings of farmers were closely related to their daily participation in the collective farming . In 1978 , during Chinese economic reform , this system was replaced by the household - responsibility system , which loosened the restriction of people 's mobility . Huang and Pieke divide the migration policy evolution after Chinese economic reform into four periods . The first period is from 1979 to 1983 , during which the government still prohibited migration . The second period is from 1984 to 1988 when farmers were allowed to enter urban areas on the condition that they provided their own food . The third period is from 1989 to 1991 when migration became much more popular and had attracted much attention from the government . The fourth period is from 1992 to 2000 , during which the government in some degree encouraged migration , while urban local governments controlled migration more strictly because of high unemployment rates in cities . From 1949 to 1985 , the net migration rate for China was 0.24 , compared with world average of 1.84 from 1950 to 1990 . Since the mid-1980s , rural to urban migration became a constant social phenomenon . Zhao and Sicular report that the number of rural - urban migration doubled between the late 1980s and the mid 1990s . In 1989 , there were 8.9 million migrants and in 1994 the number increased to 23.0 millions . In 2006 it was estimated that China was experiencing a -- 0.39 per 1,000 population net migration rate . According to National Bureau of Statistics , there were 252.78 million migrant workers in China in 2011 . Occupational profile ( edit ) Rural - urban migrant workers have a significant presence in China 's labor force . By 2006 , migrant workers comprised 40 % of the total urban labor force . According to data from National Bureau of Statistics , in 2009 nearly 39.1 % of them worked in manufacturing , about 17.3 % in construction and more than 7.8 % in wholesale and retail . In addition , the number of the migrants who were employed in the tertiary sector of the economy was increasing , which indicated a new trend of employment choice . A report from International Labour Organization in 2006 states that there were also 80 million workers working in the informal sector and it was estimated that between two - thirds and three - quarters of all new employment is in the informal economy . In the informal economy , many rural migrants are engaged in low - paying and temporary jobs such as sanitation workers and porters . Zhu addresses that they are not `` employed '' in the informal sector , but they `` have access only '' to the informal sector . Scholars agree that there is a sharp occupational segregation between migrants and the local population . A study that compared employment situations of urban residents and migrant labors in 2005 reports that around 52 % of migrants were self - employed , while 12 % of the local residents were self - employed ; 12 % of migrant workers were employed in the public sector , compared with 68 % of the local workforce . The degree of segregation varies from province to province . A series of field studies by China Center for Economic Research demonstrate that the labor market in Sichuan province is relatively integrated , while in Guangdong province and Shanghai the labor market is quite segregated with `` rural migratory - worker urban - resident - worker dualism '' . In addition to inadequate social protection , the primary reason of the occupational segregation is the migrant workers ' lack of skills and education , which keeps them in manual labor . Migrant workers have less human capital since they have less schooling , shorter job tenure and less training compared with the local residents . Moreover , because of the high rate of job mobility among rural migrant workers , employers have little incentive to train them and thereby prevent them from increasing their social capital . Causes ( edit ) The causes of migration can originate from various factors within Chinese societies . Migration in some contexts can refer to the search for self - identity and self - transformation which pushed many young workers to migrate to more urbanized areas of China . This search for self - identity and self transformation was consequence of recent globalization . `` Mobility and modernity have become inextricably linked in the contemporary era of globalization '' . Secondly , migration to distant cities for work was not an option for most rural workers of previous generations . Migration created many opportunities for both women and men to extricate themselves from their current rural status and create a new name for themselves and their family . Thirdly , migration enabled the rural youth to become wage earners , consumers and city - dwellers which allowed them to become more globalized and mobile than they would have within their own respective villages . While the urbanization of Chinese workers provides them with more opportunity , it also can constrain them , as migrant workers , specifically females , typically make lower wages and are viewed as replaceable labor . A population density map . The eastern , coastal provinces are much more densely populated than the western interior because of the opportunities available to migrants . Surplus labor ( edit ) Labor surplus in rural areas is often regarded as one of the factors of internal migration in China . Central to this theory is that surplus rural labor provides a needed work force for industrial growth in urban areas On one hand , the Household - responsibility system ( HRS ) established during Chinese economic reform was productive and generated surplus labor in rural areas . On the other hand , in urban areas the development of the special economic zones and industries created demand for labor force . Some scholars state that , while the surplus rural labor is viewed as the main `` push factor '' , demand for labor can be regarded as the main `` pull factor '' . Others contend that high unemployment rates in urban areas rejected this paradigm . Income gap ( edit ) Early in 1970 , the Harris - Todaro model recognized that the persistent wage differential between urban and rural sectors is a main `` pull '' factor of migration in developing countries . In Zhu 's study conducted in 2002 , he presents a model of migration in his study and confirms the significance of the urban - rural income gap for migration decisions . Studies of Dr. Cai , Director of Institute of Population and Labor Economics , demonstrate that an increase of the ratio of local rural income to the average national rural income will reduce migration . Besides the huge rural - urban income gap , the regional income gap also drives internal migration in China . As noted by Zhao whose research interest mainly lies in labor economics , many migrants flow from the western region with low incomes to the eastern region with higher incomes . Migrant networks ( edit ) Migrant networks have a significant role in labor migration . Migrant networks are `` sets of interpersonal ties that connect migrants , former migrants , and nonimmigrants '' through the ties of family members , friendships , and the overall community . The role is `` particularly prominent in situations in which migration involves large informational or psychic costs , such as when moving to a completely different culture or environment or if the destination labor market is hostile to immigrants '' . China 's migrants are heavily dependent on their migrant networks to assist them in finding jobs and houses , while also making sure they are financially stable . Migrant networks can reduce the cost of labor migration by providing job information and supportive relationships to the immigrants , as well as job search assistance . These networks can be described by the Chinese term Guanxi which `` describes the basic dynamic in personalized networks of inluence . '' Migrant workers can potentially find jobs at a restaurant or within the garment industry run by migrants from the same origins . In a study conducted by Liang and Morroka , whose research focuses on migration in China , they reported that female migrants are more likely to rely on the developed migration networks , while younger migrants and those with higher level of education are less likely to depend on the networks . Benefits and costs ( edit ) Benefits ( edit ) How do transient individuals experience migration in China , and what are the cultural , social , and even political ramifications of their migration experience ? Through these experiences , many migrants come to expect certain benefits . Gaetano explains that China `` understands that a woman should have a life outside of the fields and the kitchen . This awareness will surely help improve the quality of life for women in the rural areas . '' This quote suggests that rural women in particular who were exposed to modern globalization of gender and cultural roles lived improved lives . Labor in China was greatly segregated by gender . Where typically young , beautiful women found jobs in the beauty industry and often found better wages and living quarters . Gaetano further explains that `` women have had a virtual monopoly in urban domestic service and hotel and restaurant hospitality '' . While females took the hospitality industry , males found themselves in the low - skill , low - wage industrial jobs which includes construction - like jobs . Though the jobs held grueling hours , being paid and establishing an identity separate from their household was a huge benefit for many transient workers . Generally speaking , the difference in living standards between rural and urban workers was apparent where urban workers tended to live a more lavish lifestyle . This lavish lifestyle included better living quarters , nutrition , guanxi ( social connections ) , and access to education . Education especially was a huge factor for the migration of families . Rural women were seeking to better educate their offspring in the hopes of better economic success for their children . Costs ( edit ) With the benefits of migration comes the cost of migration for many transient workers . Even though traveling to a larger city with more opportunities appeared beneficial , in many instances migrants were treated harshly and viewed as second class citizens . Gao Yu , the China country director for the Landesa Rural Development Institute in Seattle stated that `` Migrants who move with their children face a host of other challenges , including enrolling their children in school . Many schools regard prior education background as an important criterion and will not admit children educated in rural schools -- often considered inferior . '' This quote suggests that many migrants and their children were seen as inferior in schools , as well as in many other public areas in China . Because many rural Chinese workers were making about $2 a day , they were forced to move to the city , causing an influx of migrant workers who were seeking better opportunities . In response , In the mid 1980s in China , in order to control migration rates , transient workers were required to carry personal identity cards , employment registration card , and a certificate of good health which often had high fees due to corruption and were many times denied by the Hukou system ( 1 ) At the time , migrants were seen as a nuisance to society and needed to be kept in check . However , in the mid-2000s attitudes towards migration drastically changed . In the novel Out to work , Migration , Gender , and the Changing Lives of Rural Women in Contemporary China , Gaetano explained how `` Migrants were finally recognized to be critical in narrowing the rural - urban income gap , as they redistribute wealth through remittances and apply new knowledge and skills to develop rural areas '' . Even though China recognized the importance of migrant workers , their `` low levels of education , skills , and work experience , and their dearth of urban social connections , combined with the hukou - based job distribution '' still created many disadvantages for rural migrants . Social impacts ( edit ) Labor supply ( edit ) In general , the current system of circular migration of floating populations in China offers greater labor resources to coastal areas of high economic activity , but `` although labor productivity in migrant activities is higher than it is in local nonfarm sectors , the current economic cost of migration in China is so high as to significantly limit such reallocation . The current system therefore works to reduce the overall productivity of labor and causes a tremendous loss of social resources . '' In other words , research done by Yaohui Zhao at Beijing University indicates that while economic theory demonstrates labor migration to increase efficiency due to the reallocation of labor , the economic cost of migration actually mitigates gains in efficiency enough that internal migration under the Hukou system results in financial and social losses instead of gains . Violations of labor standards ( edit ) Violations of labor standards involve labor contracts , working conditions , wage payments and social insurance . The problems in terms of labor standards violations are rooted in institutional discrimination against migrant workers as well as inadequate law enforcement . Low incidents of labor contracts are a main form of labor standards violations , which allows employers to further violate labor rights in many other aspects . According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Urban and Rural Development , Ministry of Labor and Social Security and the All - China Federation of Trade Unions in 2004 , only between 10 % and 37.5 % of the migrants working in the construction industry signed labor contracts . A recent research by the Jinan Daily demonstrates that eight out of ten migrant workers did not know what the labor contract was . Many employers thus take advantage of migrant workers ' unawareness and do not fulfill their obligations to sign labor contracts . The working condition is one manifest aspect of labor standards violations. The majority of migrants work more hours per day and more days per week than what is limited by labor law . The Chinese Household Income Project Survey of 2002 show that over 80 % of migrants worked seven days per week , and only 7 % workers ' working time was in accordance with what law regulated . It also showed that around 33.3 % of migrant workers worked 9 to 10 hours per day , about 25 % 11 to 12 hours and 12 % 13 or more hours per day . Safety is another concern regarding the working condition . The prevalence of migrant workers in dangerous jobs results in a high number of work - related illnesses , injuries and deaths . Migrant workers make up 80 % of the deaths in mining , construction , and chemical factories . And about 90 % of those suffering from work - related diseases are migrant workers . In terms of wage payment , although labor law regulates a minimum wage , many employers either ignore the regulation or consider it to be the maximum wage . According to an article in China Daily in 2006 , nearly 30 % of migrant workers earned RMB 300 and 500 on average per month , nearly 40 % between RMB 500 and 800 and about 28 % more than RMB 800 . Moreover , it is common for migrant workers not to receive their wage on time , due to the lack of protection of labor rights . The government has realized the seriousness of wage arrears and taken many measures to deal with this issue . The situation has been improved a lot , but overall the problem of wage arrears still exists . In 2006 , around 10 % of rural - urban migrant workers received their wages on average seven months late . The limited access of migrant workers to social insurance highlights their vulnerability . A survey conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture in 2005 reports that only 13 % of rural - urban migrant workers had insurance coverage for occupational injuries and diseases , only 10 % for medical insurance and 15 % for pension scheme . Another survey reports that migrant workers ' participation in pension schemes was as high as 33.7 % ; medical care , 21.6 % ; unemployment insurance , 10.3 % ; employment injury insurance , 31.8 % . The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences estimates that less than 5 % got pension insurance and less than 3 % of rural migrant laborers enjoyed unemployment insurance . Class and inequality ( edit ) At a group expert meeting of the United Nations in January 2008 , a number of class - based implications of Chinese urban growth due to migration were identified , including `` wage arrears , unfair compensation for land expropriated , urban poverty , '' issues of `` public safety and social stability , '' and the potential creation of a `` permanent urban underclass '' of 200 million or more workers . Class inequality is commonly reflected in income differentials ; `` in urban China , urban resident annual earnings are 1.3 times larger than long - term rural migrant earnings as observed in a nationally represented sample in 2002 . '' Additionally , migrant workers in China are generally excluded from the social services their local neighbors enjoy ; `` migrant workers ' basic needs for housing , social security , and education for their children are not protected by the local government . '' Health ( edit ) The floating population of Chinese migrant workers `` presents major public health challenges , especially in the provision of reproductive health care for migrant women and the need to address the increased risk to both sexes of infection with sexually transmitted diseases and HIV . '' A survey of migrant workers published in the journal `` Public Health Reports '' indicated that `` forty - seven percent of the migrants were unwilling to make contributions to health insurance , '' and `` poor living conditions and inattention to health may make migrants vulnerable to poor long - term health . '' Despite these health issues presented by the floating population , certain factors mitigate the health impact of internal migration in China . In a questionnaire administered to a variety of rural , urban , and migrant workers in Zhejing Province , Eastern China , 2004 , indicated that `` Migrants had the best self - rated health and reported the least acute illness , chronic disease , and disability , after controlling for age and education . '' In light of this data , the researchers concluded that the migrants had zero HIV infections , and the migrant workers examined demonstrated the `` healthy migrant effect . '' Despite this , migration still creates a negative effect on public health due to the lack of affordable health care . Mental health ( edit ) Historically , `` migration has been associated with increased vulnerability to mental health problems , '' and this has prompted some research into the mental health status of China 's hundreds of millions of rural - urban migrants . Research by scholars from Zhejiang University and the UCL Centre for International Health and Development has however revealed that `` rural - urban migrant workers in this part of China are not especially vulnerable to poor mental health . '' They believe that this `` may result from a sense of well being associated with upward economic mobility and improved opportunities , and the relatively high social capital in migrant communities . '' Thus , the `` healthy migrant effect '' also exhibits itself in the mental health of rural - urban migrants in China . Gender ( edit ) Migration in China has produced a number of important impacts with regard to gender and gender equality in modern China . This process , usually known as a ' transition ' , `` has gendered consequences and differential implications for men and women . '' The men and women who partake in rural - urban labor migration are `` channeled into gender - segregated jobs and that gender division of labor is increasingly becoming a dominant mode of household production in the countryside . '' According to research conducted by Youqin Huang and published in the journal Environment and Planning A , `` the constraints of human capital , the patriarchal culture and the Household Registration ( Hukou ) . After the migration process , females `` are at a disadvantage in the labour market not only because of their gender , but also because of their rural identities and outsider status . '' One way in which this may be seen is in the fact that women migrants `` can only attain jobs with lower prestige than their male counterparts , such as agricultural work and a few gender - stereotyped , family - related urban jobs . '' Despite the disadvantages faced by female migrants in China , some research such as that conducted with data from Hubei Province demonstrates that `` migration has enabled women to benefit from economic opportunities and provided them with a degree of freedom that was not possible at their places of origin . '' Currently , there is some scholarly agreement on the net effect of migration in China on women in particular , `` female migrant workers are doubly disadvantaged in China 's urban labor market because of their doubly marginalized identities as both women and rural residents . '' Education ( edit ) See also : Migrant School Classroom in a school for migrant students in Beijing ( Dongba district ) . According to a research conducted by Zai Liang and Yiu Por Chen and published in the journal `` Social Science Research '' , `` migration usually has negative consequences for children 's schooling because of the loss of social capital in schools , neighborhood , and community of origin . '' In theory , migrant children can study in urban public schools , but access is usually limited . The main reason is that the education budget for compulsory education is allocated through local governments and strictly based on local hukou population . Many of the urban public schools with a limited education budget are consequently reluctant to accept migrant children . One usual way for migrant children to study in urban public schools , which is distinct from usual admission procedure , is to pay `` sponsorship '' fees ( zanzhu fei ) . The amount of such fees can be prohibitive for poor migrant parents , which impedes many migrant children to get enrolled in public schools . Up to now , there are some improvements in terms of access to urban public schools and some cities have banned `` sponsorship '' fees , but specific policy varies from city to city . A large portion of migrant children are still excluded from the urban public education system . In response to the lack of access to public educational resources , migrants in some big cities began to set their own schools since the 1990s . These schools are known as migrant - sponsored schools ( nongmingong zidi xuexiao ) . At the beginning , urban authorities refused to grant licenses and even closed down the schools . Although local governments did n't need to be responsible for migrants ' welfare , they should still be responsible for any accident such as the collapse of buildings or food poisoning that happened in the schools . These schools are usually less expensive with average tuition fees around 300 RMB per semester . According to Lu and Zhang 's research conducted in Beijing in 2001 , migrant - sponsored schools usually did not have licenses , high education quality , and adequate facilities . They , however , conclude that despite such disadvantages , these schools at least provided migrant children with basic education . In addition to the issue of access to education , migrant children have to return to their places of their hukou origin to pass the examination for entry to a higher level of education . The entire school enrollment system in China is place - based and they can only pass certain examinations in their places of hukou origin . This leads to discrepancies between what migrant students have studied in urban areas and what they will be examined as textbooks in different cities and provinces can be quite different . Left - behind children ( edit ) Left - behind children in China refer to the children who live with one parent ( usually mother ) or extended family ( usually grandparents ) when their parent ( s ) is ( are ) absent from home as migrant workers in urban areas . They are left behind partly because of little access to basic welfare in cities without local hukou status and partly because of high living expenses in cities . According to Ministry of Education , in 2012 there were more than 12.6 million migrant children and 58 million left - behind children from 7 years old to 16 years old . Left - behind children will have more health , emotional and behavior issues than those who grow up with their parents . Left - behind children are generally less healthy , but the difference is very marginal . A study conducted by several professors from Chinese University of Hong Kong reports that left - behind children are more likely to have a less healthy diet and lower rates of physical activity . In terms of nutrition , left - behind children face more nutrition problems such as low intake of some nutrients and poor physical development related to nutrition . Further , many studies find that left - behind children are more likely to have a smoking habit , compared to children with no migrant parents . Primary causes include insufficient public awareness and lack of health education programs . Weak implementation of related regulations in rural areas such as prohibition to sell cigarettes to children under 18 may also contribute to this unsatisfying situation . Left - behind children are also prone to undergo emotional and psychological problems . Liang 's study of 250 left - behind junior high school students suggests that 16.6 % of them felt abandoned , 12.3 % had problems expressing difficulties , and 6.5 % felt `` anguished '' when being left behind . In addition , the earlier those children are separated from parents , more symptoms of depression and anxiety will be reported . Moreover , various studies indicate that left - behind children are more likely to have behavioral problems . Qualitative observations indicate that left - behind children often behavior extremely , either withdrawn or excessively aggressive . It has also been reported that left - behind children tend to be `` indifferent , introverted , inferior '' and `` selfish '' . The problems noted above are mainly due to the fact that the grandparents either spoil the children or fail to give them enough emotional support . Physical weakness and low education levels of grandparents who take care of left - behind children also contribute to the problems . Comparative studies show that left - behind children 's situation is not much worse than that of those living with parents in the same area . On the one hand , the institutions ( e.g. the hukou system ) that maintain the urban - rural inequality should be modified so that more migrants can settle down in cities with families . On the other hand , public resources in rural communities should be improved and regional inequality should be further reduced . Policy theories ( edit ) Scholars from a wide variety of fields have recommended policy changes in order to deal with the social issues created by floating populations of migrant workers in China . Some scholars believe that `` public policies reducing the cost ( including the opportunity cost ) of education for rural people could help filling the endowment gap between rural migrants and urban residents in the labor market . '' Additionally , scholars have recommended that `` new policy initiatives concerning the issue of education and migrant children are sorely needed . '' Public health scholars recommend that `` because health insurance schemes will remain limited for the foreseeable future , attention should focus on providing affordable health care to both uninsured migrants and the urban poor . '' In light of the migrant worker Foxconn suicides , labor scholars have recommended that `` the government should redistribute income and guarantee benefits to rural residents and migrant workers to improve living standards . '' Those studying labor mobility believe that `` the artificial restrictions under which rural - urban migrants work in the cities , i.e. the prohibition on or impediments to urban settlement , restricted access to skilled jobs , and the system of short - term contracts , may have generated an excessively high migrant mobility rate . '' Health policy ( edit ) A family planning publicity event for migrant population ( 流动 人口 计划 生育 宣传 服务 活动 ) at the Wuchang Railway Station . January 2011 . The issue of internal migration and health in China is intricately linked with the health policies national and local level governments enforce . `` Policy toward rural - urban migration in China has undergone a significant shift in the last decade , and improving the working and living conditions and access to health care of migrant workers in cities is now clearly on the agenda of national and local governments . Nonetheless , migrants ' mobility and their concentration in hazardous industries continue to make it difficult to reduce their exposure to environmental and occupational health risks and to ensure their access to affordable care . '' In order to further improve the `` living conditions and acces to health care of migrant workers in cities , '' a number of scholars have recently provided policy recommendations . In general , public health scholars recommend that `` because health insurance schemes will remain limited for the foreseeable future , attention should focus on providing affordable health care to both uninsured migrants and the urban poor . '' In light of this recommendation , further research has been conducted in order to assess the status of internal migration and health in China , as well as to provide more specific policy recommendations in order to address any issues . Research conducted by a team from Beijing Normal University and the Institute of Development Studies has provided a number of specific recommendations for policy makers . In a journal article published in The Lancet , this team voiced three primary concerns regarding the health of migrants in China . These concerns consisted of the spread of communicable and infectious disease , migrant maternal health , and occupational disease and injuries such as silicosis , chemical poisoning , and industrial machinery accidents . Beyond these three primary concerns , the researchers advise policy makers and public health officials to pay more attention to two additional issues . The first of these is mental and behavioural health , which is a `` domain that is understudied in China . '' The second issue they discuss is that of risk perception . Little is known about how migrants perceive the `` various possibilities for health care : self - medication , informal healers , traditional medicine , private clinics with varied levels of care , and more formal hospital treatment . '' Research into risk perception will `` be crucial to prevention , intervention , and other health - related measures for the migrant population in China . Labor policy ( edit ) The government collected defaulted salaries from employers and paid the salaries to migrant workers in Liaoning Province in 2010 . Two landmark policy documents regarding migrant workers were issued in 2002 and 2003 , named Document Number 2 of 2002 and Document Number 1 of 2003. These two documents initialized the process of elimination of labor market discrimination against migrant workers and legitimization of them . In addition , the 2002 Work Safety Law and the Law on the Prevention and Cure of Occupational Diseases demanded that all employers must guarantee a safe working environment for all employees . In 2004 , employers in high - risk industries such as mining and construction were required to cover injury insurance for migrant workers . In the 2005 Government Work Report , Premier Wen Jiabao noted that the payment of migrant workers should not be delayed . In March 2006 , the State Council called for the establishment of a system that monitored wage delivery to migrant workers . In June 2006 , the State Council passed a series of measures to protect migrant workers ' labor rights , following up Circular No. 36 . The measures include the restriction of minimum wages , solutions to wage defaults , enforcement of labor contacts and enlargement of migrant workers ' social security coverage . With the government 's continuous efforts , the situation of migrant workers have been improved , though still varying from province to province . In 2005 , 80 % of migrant workers had been fully paid . In Shanghai , more than two million migrant workers are in a special social security program . Education policy ( edit ) Early in 2003 , China has issued an announcement on migration management and pays much attention on migrant children 's education . The government mainly focused on possible financial reform , encouraged public schools to admit more migrant children , forbade extra fees and sponsored migrant - sponsored schools . The announcement noted equal access to education , elimination of sponsorship fees and the government funding for migrant - sponsored schools . In September 2003 , a joint directive declared that urban governments and public schools should be responsible for migrant children 's equal access to education . Although there are various policies related to migrant children 's education , in Hu 's doctoral thesis , he addresses that the policy is partially implemented and the situation varies from province to province . Policy regarding funding is not being effectively implemented . Public schools do n't have enough funding and subsequently school access is still limited . In addition , migrant parents need to present a series of certificates showing that they have stable jobs and accommodation in cities in order to get their children admitted in public schools . Hukou reform ( edit ) The Chinese government has committed to eliminating institutional discrimination of migrant workers on the grounds of hukou system . But the reform is complicated since it involves restructuring political and social systems , which will impact every aspect including employment , social security and property rights . The objective of the reform is to merge urban and rural hukou systems into one in which migrant workers can have equal access to public resources as urban residents do . At the beginning of the New Millennium , Fujian , Liaoning and Shandong Provinces abolished the dual - type hukou system and issued identical hukou status to both urban and rural residents . Up to 2008 , twelve provinces had abolished the dual urban - rural hukou system . Due to the complication of this issue , however , it is still very difficult for migrant workers to gain access to social welfare in urban areas , though with a hukou reform . For example , some cities such as Zhengzhou once opened public schools to rural migrant children in 2002 , but these cities soon realized that there were not enough schools for the large number of migrant children . According to China Daily , Huang Ming , vice-minister of public security , addressed that the national hukou reform would be done by 2020 . He said in the interview that the new hukou system would gradually extend pension , education and health care services to qualified residents , both urban and rural . The Chinese hukou system is a social management system . This system links a person to their birth city . China 's hukou system is a social management system . This system links every Chinese resident with their birthplace . One can only access their health care , pension and education for their children in their birth city . Cai Fang , director of the Insistute of Population Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences , stated that migrant workers do not have the same benefits as the urban residents . As a result of unequal benefits the migrant workers have limited participation in the labor market . Mr Cai estimates that more than 200 million migrant workers ca n't participate fully in the labor market due to the limitations from the Chinese hukou system . Sources and destinations ( edit ) Internal migration ( edit ) Map showing the various administrative divisions of the People 's Republic of China . According to the International Labour Organization , internal migration in China is defined by two essential features . The first of these is that migrants generally move from farmlands and agricultural areas into more urban areas and developed cities . The second defining feature of Chinese internal migration is that `` labour flows are basically directed from the interior to coastal areas , and / or from central and western regions to eastern areas . '' These are not independent characteristics ; `` These two features overlap , and are closely interrelated with the macro socio - economic structure . Migrants leaving Badong in mostly rural western Hubei for the provincial capital Wuhan with an overnight bus have to brave the rigors of Highway G209 . The Fifth National Population Census of the People 's Republic of China in 2000 counted 42.4 million people living outside of their home provinces ( i.e. , outside of the province where they were legally domiciled ) . These would include e.g. migrant workers , students on campuses away from home , but not the military ( who , generally , are counted separately from the provinces ' and municipalities ' populations ) . The largest migrant population was found in Guangdong ( 15.0 mln ) . The rest of China 's southeastern seaboard attracted plenty of migrants as well ( Shanghai ( 3.1 mln ) , Jiangsu ( 2.5 mln ) , Zhejiang ( 2.0 mln ) , Fujian ( 2.1 mln ) ) ; Beijing had 2.5 million . The coastal Liaoning and Shandong , as well as the inland Yunnan and Xinjiang had over a million migrants each . Migrants originated mostly in the inland provinces , such as Anhui ( 4.3 mln ) , Jiangxi ( 3.7 mln ) , Henan ( 3.1 mln ) , Hunan ( 4.3 mln ) , Hubei ( 2.8 mln ) , Guangxi ( 2.4 mln ) , Sichuan ( 6.9 mln ) . Much of the interprovincial migration was toward the neighboring wealthier provinces or municipalities if there was one . E.g. , over 90 % of the Guangxi migrants went to the nearby Guangdong , while over 60 % of Hebei migrants went to the Beijing and Tianjin municipalities ( which both are surrounded by Hebei 's territory ) . On the other hand , among the Hubei migrants about one half went to Guangdong , and the rest mostly to various other coastal destinations , from Beijing to Fujian . It is of interest to the Chinese government to control the flow of internal migration in China . However , the flow of migration is large and widespread enough to be difficult for the government to manage . `` Despite the Chinese government 's policy of encouraging the development of western regions of the country , China 's coastal regions , and especially the province of Guangdong , experienced the largest increase in the size of the floating population . With less than 7 percent of China 's population , Guangdong has 27 percent of China 's floating population . The size of the floating population in Guangdong nearly tripled between the 1990 and the 2000 censuses . '' Such uneven migration can hamper the government 's policy to encourage the development of non-coastal regions , which exacerbates the geographic inequality in the country . Migration from neighboring countries ( edit ) VIETNAM ( edit ) China accepted 260,000 Vietnamese through the Orderly Departure Program although this participation is less well known than that of other countries . The Chinese government accorded the Vietnamese protection by providing them refugee status . Most refugees settled in southern China . During the time of the refugees ' integration , the Chinese government charged various agencies with examining the refugees ' background and labor skills to facilitate job placement . Following the end of the Orderly Departure Program in 1997 , China continued to receive refugees although in much fewer numbers . Prior to the end of the Program and after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 , Vietnamese refugees to China had already been decreasing in number . North Korea ( edit ) UNHCR has declared all North Koreans in China to be ' persons of concern ' , although China does not recognize North Koreans ' claims to asylum as valid . China refuses to accept people who the country views as defectors from other Communist countries . As a result , China identifies North Koreans within its borders as `` economic migrants . '' Because of the Government of China does not provide assistance to migrants , the UNHCR established an office in Beijing in 1995 to provide direct assistance including food , shelter , health , education , and social services . Later , China banned the UNHCR direct access to North Koreans , claiming that the issue was an internal matter and should be treated as such . Today , advocates for North Korean defectors lobby to government officials to reverse legal jargon .

The kingdom was founded and initially ruled by the royal Argead dynasty , which was followed by the Antipatrid and Antigonid dynasties . Home to the ancient Macedonians , the earliest kingdom was centered on the northeastern part of the Greek peninsula , and bordered by Epirus to the west , Paeonia to the north , Thrace to the east and Thessaly to the south . Before the 4th century BC , Macedonia was a small kingdom outside of the area dominated by the great city - states of Athens , Sparta , and Thebes , and briefly subordinate to Achaemenid Persia . During the reign of the Argead king Philip II ( 359 -- 336 BC ) , Macedonia subdued mainland Greece and Thrace through conquest and diplomacy . With a reformed army containing phalanxes wielding the sarissa pike , Philip II defeated the old powers of Athens and Thebes in the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 BC . Philip II 's son Alexander the Great , leading a federation of Greek states , accomplished his father 's objective of commanding the whole of Greece when he destroyed Thebes after the city revolted . During Alexander 's subsequent campaign of conquest , he overthrew the Achaemenid Empire and conquered territory that stretched as far as the Indus River . For a brief period , his empire was the most powerful in the world -- the definitive Hellenistic state , inaugurating the transition to a new period of Ancient Greek civilization . Greek arts and literature flourished in the new conquered lands and advances in philosophy , engineering , and science spread throughout much of the ancient world . Of particular importance were the contributions of Aristotle , tutor to Alexander , whose writings became a keystone of Western philosophy . After Alexander 's death in 323 BC , the ensuing wars of the Diadochi , and the partitioning of Alexander 's short - lived empire , Macedonia remained a Greek cultural and political center in the Mediterranean region along with Ptolemaic Egypt , the Seleucid Empire , and the Kingdom of Pergamon . Important cities such as Pella , Pydna , and Amphipolis were involved in power struggles for control of the territory . New cities were founded , such as Thessalonica by the usurper Cassander ( named after his wife Thessalonike of Macedon ) . Macedonia 's decline began with the Macedonian Wars and the rise of Rome as the leading Mediterranean power . At the end of the Third Macedonian War in 168 BC , the Macedonian monarchy was abolished and replaced by Roman client states . A short - lived revival of the monarchy during the Fourth Macedonian War in 150 -- 148 BC ended with the establishment of the Roman province of Macedonia . The Macedonian kings , who wielded absolute power and commanded state resources such as gold and silver , facilitated mining operations to mint currency , finance their armies and , by the reign of Philip II , a Macedonian navy . Unlike the other diadochi successor states , the imperial cult fostered by Alexander was never adopted in Macedonia , yet Macedonian rulers nevertheless assumed roles as high priests of the kingdom and leading patrons of domestic and international cults of the Hellenistic religion . The authority of Macedonian kings was theoretically limited by the institution of the army , while a few municipalities within the Macedonian commonwealth enjoyed a high degree of autonomy and even had democratic governments with popular assemblies .

It has the same root as the adjective μακρός ( makros ) , meaning `` long '' or `` tall '' in Ancient Greek . The name is originally believed to have meant either `` highlanders '' , `` the tall ones '' , or `` high grown men '' . Linguist Robert S.P. Beekes claims that both terms are of Pre-Greek substrate origin and can not be explained in terms of Indo - European morphology . History Main article : History of Macedonia ( ancient kingdom ) Early History and legend Main articles : Achaemenid Macedonia and Argead dynasty Further information : List of ancient Macedonians § Kings The entrance to one of the royal tombs at Vergina , a UNESCO World Heritage site The Classical Greek historians Herodotus and Thucydides reported the legend that the Macedonian kings of the Argead dynasty were descendants of Temenus , king of Argos , and could therefore claim the mythical Heracles as one of their ancestors as well as a direct lineage from Zeus , chief god of the Greek pantheon . Contradictory legends state that either Perdiccas I of Macedon or Caranus of Macedon were the founders of the Argead dynasty , with either five or eight kings before Amyntas I . The assertion that the Argeads descended from Temenus was accepted by the Hellanodikai authorities of the Ancient Olympic Games , permitting Alexander I of Macedon ( r . 498 -- 454 BC ) to enter the competitions owing to his perceived Greek heritage . Little is known about the kingdom before the reign of Alexander I 's father Amyntas I of Macedon ( r . 547 -- 498 BC ) during the Archaic period . The kingdom of Macedonia was situated along the Haliacmon and Axius rivers in Lower Macedonia , north of Mount Olympus . Historian Robert Malcolm Errington suggests that one of the earliest Argead kings established Aigai ( modern Vergina ) as their capital in the mid-7th century BC . Before the 4th century BC , the kingdom covered a region corresponding roughly to the western and central parts of the region of Macedonia in modern Greece . It gradually expanded into the region of Upper Macedonia , inhabited by the Greek Lyncestae and Elimiotae tribes , and into regions of Emathia , Eordaia , Bottiaea , Mygdonia , Crestonia , and Almopia , which were inhabited by various peoples such as Thracians and Phrygians . Macedonia 's non-Greek neighbors included Thracians , inhabiting territories to the northeast , Illyrians to the northwest , and Paeonians to the north , while the lands of Thessaly to the south and Epirus to the west were inhabited by Greeks with similar cultures to that of the Macedonians . A silver octadrachm of Alexander I of Macedon ( r . 498 -- 454 BC ) , minted c. 465 -- 460 BC , showing an equestrian figure wearing a chlamys ( short cloak ) and petasos ( head cap ) while holding two spears and leading a horse A year after Darius I of Persia ( r . 522 -- 486 BC ) launched an invasion into Europe against the Scythians , Paeonians , Thracians , and several Greek city - states of the Balkans , the Persian general Megabazus used diplomacy to convince Amyntas I to submit as a vassal of the Achaemenid Empire , ushering in the period of Achaemenid Macedonia . Achaemenid Persian hegemony over Macedonia was briefly interrupted by the Ionian Revolt ( 499 -- 493 BC ) , yet the Persian general Mardonius brought it back under Achaemenid suzerainty . Although Macedonia enjoyed a large degree of autonomy and was never made a satrapy ( i.e. province ) of the Achaemenid Empire , it was expected to provide troops for the Achaemenid army . Alexander I provided Macedonian military support to Xerxes I ( r . 486 -- 465 BC ) during the Second Persian invasion of Greece in 480 -- 479 BC , and Macedonian soldiers fought on the side of the Persians at the 479 BC Battle of Platea . Following the Greek victory at Salamis in 480 BC , Alexander I was employed as an Achaemenid diplomat to propose a peace treaty and alliance with Athens , an offer that was rejected . Soon afterwards , the Achaemenid forces were forced to withdraw from mainland Europe , marking the end of Persian control over Macedonia . Involvement in the Classical Greek world Further information : Delian League , Spartan hegemony , and Theban hegemony Macedon ( orange ) during the Peloponnesian War around 431 BC , with Athens and the Delian League ( yellow ) , Sparta and Peloponnesian League ( red ) , independent states ( blue ) , and the Persian Achaemenid Empire ( purple ) Although initially a Persian vassal , Alexander I of Macedon fostered friendly diplomatic relations with his former Greek enemies , the Athenian and Spartan - led coalition of Greek city - states . His successor Perdiccas II ( r . 454 -- 413 BC ) led the Macedonians to war in four separate conflicts against Athens , leader of the Delian League , which encroached upon his coastal territories in Lower Macedonia as incursions by the Thracian ruler Sitalces of the Odrysian kingdom threatened Macedonia 's territorial integrity in the northeast . The Athenian statesman Pericles promoted colonization of the Strymon River near the Kingdom of Macedonia , where the colonial city of Amphipolis was founded in 437 / 436 BC so that it could provide Athens with a steady supply of silver and gold as well as timber and pitch to support the Athenian navy . Two separate wars were fought against Athens between 433 and 431 BC , spurred by an Athenian alliance with a brother and cousin of Perdiccas II who had rebelled against him . The Macedonian king then promoted the rebellion of Athens ' allies in Chalcidice and won over the strategic city of Potidaea . After capturing the Macedonian cities Therma and Beroea , Athens besieged Potidaea but failed to overcome it ; Therma was returned to Macedonia and much of Chalcidice to Athens in a peace treaty brokered by Sitalces , who provided Athens with military aid in exchange for acquiring new Thracian allies . Perdiccas II sided with Sparta in the Peloponnesian War ( 431 -- 404 BC ) between Athens and Sparta , and in 429 BC Athens retaliated by persuading Sitalces to invade Macedonia , but he was forced to retreat owing to a shortage of provisions in winter . In 424 BC , Arrhabaeus , a local ruler of Lynkestis in Upper Macedonia , rebelled against his overlord Perdiccas , and the Spartans agreed to help in putting down the revolt . At the Battle of Lyncestis the Macedonians panicked and fled before the fighting began , enraging the Spartan general Brasidas , whose soldiers looted the unattended Macedonian baggage train . Perdiccas then changed sides and supported Athens , and he was able to put down Arrhabaeus 's revolt . A Macedonian didrachm minted during the reign of Archelaus I of Macedon ( r . 413 -- 399 BC ) Brasidas died in 422 BC , the year Athens and Sparta struck an accord , the Peace of Nicias , that freed Macedonia from its obligations as an Athenian ally . Following the 418 BC Battle of Mantinea , the victorious Spartans formed an alliance with Argos , a military pact Perdiccas II was keen to join given the threat of Spartan allies remaining in Chalcidice . When Argos suddenly switched sides as a pro-Athenian democracy , the Athenian navy was able to form a blockade against Macedonian seaports and invade Chalcidice in 417 BC . Perdiccas II sued for peace in 414 BC , forming an alliance with Athens that was continued by his son and successor Archelaus I ( r . 413 -- 399 BC ) . Athens then provided naval support to Archelaus I in the 410 BC Macedonian siege of Pydna , in exchange for timber and naval equipment . Although Archelaus I was faced with some internal revolts and had to fend off an invasion of Illyrians led by Sirras of Lynkestis , he was able to project Macedonian power into Thessaly where he sent military aid to his allies . Although he retained Aigai as a ceremonial and religious center , Archelaus I moved the capital of the kingdom north to Pella , which was then positioned by a lake with a river connecting it to the Aegean Sea . He improved Macedonia 's currency by minting coins with a higher silver content as well as issuing separate copper coinage . His royal court attracted the presence of well - known intellectuals such as the Athenian playwright Euripides . When Archelaus I was assassinated ( perhaps following a homosexual love affair with royal pages at his court ) , the kingdom was plunged into chaos , in an era lasting from 399 to 393 BC that included the reign of four different monarchs : Orestes , son of Archelaus I ; Aeropus II , uncle , regent , and murderer of Orestes ; Pausanias , son of Aeropus II ; and Amyntas II , who was married to the youngest daughter of Archelaus I. Very little is known about this turbulent period ; it came to an end when Amyntas III ( r . 393 -- 370 BC ) , son of Arrhidaeus and grandson of Amyntas I , killed Pausanias and claimed the Macedonian throne . A silver stater of Amyntas III of Macedon ( r . 393 -- 370 BC ) Amyntas III was forced to flee his kingdom in either 393 or 383 BC ( based on conflicting accounts ) , owing to a massive invasion by the Illyrian Dardani led by Bardylis . The pretender to the throne Argaeus ruled in his absence , yet Amyntas III eventually returned to his kingdom with the aid of Thessalian allies . Amyntas III was also nearly overthrown by the forces of the Chalcidian city of Olynthos , but with the aid of Teleutias , brother of the Spartan king Agesilaus II , the Macedonians forced Olynthos to surrender and dissolve their Chalcidian League in 379 BC . Alexander II ( r . 370 -- 368 BC ) , son of Eurydice I and Amyntas III , succeeded his father and immediately invaded Thessaly to wage war against the tagus ( supreme Thessalian military leader ) Alexander of Pherae , capturing the city of Larissa . The Thessalians , desiring to remove both Alexander II and Alexander of Pherae as their overlords , appealed to Pelopidas of Thebes for aid ; he succeeded in recapturing Larissa and , in the peace agreement arranged with Macedonia , received aristocratic hostages including Alexander II 's brother and future king Philip II ( r . 359 -- 336 BC -- ) . When Alexander was assassinated by his brother - in - law Ptolemy of Aloros , the latter acted as an overbearing regent for Perdiccas III ( r . 368 -- 359 BC ) , younger brother of Alexander II , who eventually had Ptolemy executed when reaching the age of majority in 365 BC . The remainder of Perdiccas III 's reign was marked by political stability and financial recovery . However , an Athenian invasion led by Timotheus , son of Conon , managed to capture Methone and Pydna , and an Illyrian invasion led by Bardylis succeeded in killing Perdiccas III and 4,000 Macedonian troops in battle . Rise of Macedon Main article : Rise of Macedon Further information : Argead dynasty , Amyntas IV of Macedon , and League of Corinth Left , a bust of Philip II of Macedon ( r . 359 -- 336 BC ) from the Hellenistic period , located at Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek . Right , another bust of Philip II , a 1st - century AD Roman copy of a Hellenistic Greek original , now in the Vatican Museums . Map of the Kingdom of Macedon at the death of Philip II in 336 BC ( light blue ) , with the original territory that existed in 431 BC ( red outline ) , and dependent states ( yellow ) Philip II was twenty - four years old when he acceded to the throne in 359 BC . Through the use of deft diplomacy , he was able to convince the Thracians under Berisades to cease their support of Pausanias , a pretender to the throne , and the Athenians to halt their support of another pretender . He achieved these by bribing the Thracians and their Paeonian allies and establishing a treaty with Athens that relinquished his claims to Amphipolis . He was also able to make peace with the Illyrians who had threatened his borders . Philip II spent his initial years radically transforming the Macedonian army . A reform of its organization , equipment , and training , including the introduction of the Macedonian phalanx armed with long pikes ( i.e. the sarissa ) , proved immediately successful when tested against his Illyrian and Paeonian enemies . Confusing accounts in ancient sources have led modern scholars to debate how much Philip II 's royal predecessors may have contributed to these reforms and the extent to which his ideas were influenced by his adolescent years of captivity in Thebes as a political hostage during the Theban hegemony , especially after meeting with the general Epaminondas . The Macedonians , like the other Greeks , traditionally practiced monogamy , but Philip II practiced polygamy and married seven wives with perhaps only one that did not involve the loyalty of his aristocratic subjects or new allies . His first marriages were to Phila of Elimeia of the Upper Macedonian aristocracy as well as the Illyrian princess Audata to ensure a marriage alliance . To establish an alliance with Larissa in Thessaly , he married the Thessalian noblewoman Philinna in 358 BC , who bore him a son who would later rule as Philip III Arrhidaeus ( r . 323 -- 317 BC ) . In 357 BC , he married Olympias to secure an alliance with Arybbas , the King of Epirus and the Molossians . This marriage would bear a son who would later rule as Alexander III ( better known as Alexander the Great ) and claim descent from the legendary Achilles by way of his dynastic heritage from Epirus . It is unclear whether or not the Achaemenid Persian kings influenced Philip II 's practice of polygamy , although his predecessor Amyntas III had three sons with a possible second wife Gygaea : Archelaus , Arrhidaeus , and Menelaus . Philip II had Archelaus put to death in 359 BC , while Philip II 's other two half brothers fled to Olynthos , serving as a casus belli for the Olynthian War ( 349 -- 348 BC ) against the Chalcidian League . While Athens was preoccupied with the Social War ( 357 -- 355 BC ) , Philip II retook Amphipolis from them in 357 BC and the following year recaptured Pydna and Potidaea , the latter of which he handed over to the Chalcidian League as promised in a treaty . In 356 BC , he took Crenides , refounding it as Philippi , while his general Parmenion defeated the Illyrian king Grabos of the Grabaei . During the 355 -- 354 BC siege of Methone , Philip II lost his right eye to an arrow wound , but managed to capture the city and treated the inhabitants cordially , unlike the Potidaeans , who had been enslaved . Philip II then involved Macedonia in the Third Sacred War ( 356 -- 346 BC ) . It began when Phocis captured and plundered the temple of Apollo at Delphi instead of submitting unpaid fines , causing the Amphictyonic League to declare war on Phocis and a civil war among the members of the Thessalian League aligned with either Phocis or Thebes . Philip II 's initial campaign against Pherae in Thessaly in 353 BC at the behest of Larissa ended in two disastrous defeats by the Phocian general Onomarchus . Philip II in turn defeated Onomarchus in 352 BC at the Battle of Crocus Field , which led to Philip II 's election as leader ( archon ) of the Thessalian League , provided him a seat on the Amphictyonic Council , and allowed for a marriage alliance with Pherae by wedding Nicesipolis , niece of the tyrant Jason of Pherae . After campaigning against the Thracian ruler Cersobleptes , in 349 BC , Philip II began his war against the Chalcidian League , which had been reestablished in 375 BC following a temporary disbandment . Despite an Athenian intervention by Charidemus , Olynthos was captured by Philip II in 348 BC , and its inhabitants were sold into slavery , including some Athenian citizens . The Athenians , especially in a series of speeches by Demosthenes known as the Olynthiacs , were unsuccessful in persuading their allies to counterattack and in 346 BC concluded a treaty with Macedonia known as the Peace of Philocrates . The treaty stipulated that Athens would relinquish claims to Macedonian coastal territories , the Chalcidice , and Amphipolis in return for the release of the enslaved Athenians as well as guarantees that Philip II would not attack Athenian settlements in the Thracian Chersonese . Meanwhile , Phocis and Thermopylae were captured by Macedonian forces , the Delphic temple robbers were executed , and Philip II was awarded the two Phocian seats on the Amphictyonic Council and the position of master of ceremonies over the Pythian Games . Athens initially opposed his membership on the council and refused to attend the games in protest , but they eventually accepted these conditions , perhaps after some persuasion by Demosthenes in his oration On the Peace .

Right , the ruins of the Philippeion at Olympia , Greece , which was built by Philip II of Macedon to celebrate his victory at the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 BC . Over the next few years , Philip II reformed local governments in Thessaly , campaigned against the Illyrian ruler Pleuratus I , deposed Arybbas in Epirus in favor of his brother - in - law Alexander I ( through Philip II 's marriage to Olympias ) , and defeated Cersebleptes in Thrace . This allowed him to extend Macedonian control over the Hellespont in anticipation of an invasion into Achaemenid Anatolia . In 342 BC , Philip II conquered a Thracian city in what is now Bulgaria and renamed it Philippopolis ( modern Plovdiv ) . War broke out with Athens in 340 BC while Philip II was engaged in two ultimately unsuccessful sieges of Perinthus and Byzantion , followed by a successful campaign against the Scythians along the Danube and Macedonia 's involvement in the Fourth Sacred War against Amphissa in 339 BC . Thebes ejected a Macedonian garrison from Nicaea ( near Thermopylae ) , leading Thebes to join Athens , Megara , Corinth , Achaea , and Euboea in a final confrontation against Macedonia at the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 BC . After the Macedonian victory there , Philip II installed an oligarchy in Thebes , yet was lenient toward Athens , wishing to utilize their navy in a planned invasion of the Achaemenid Empire . He was then chiefly responsible for the formation of the League of Corinth that included the major Greek city - states except Sparta . Despite the Kingdom of Macedonia 's official exclusion from the league , in 337 BC , Philip II was elected as the leader ( hegemon ) of its council ( synedrion ) and the commander - in - chief ( strategos autokrator ) of a forthcoming campaign to invade the Achaemenid Empire . Philip 's plan to punish the Persians for the suffering of the Greeks and to liberate the Greek cities of Asia Minor as well as perhaps the panhellenic fear of another Persian invasion of Greece , contributed to his decision to invade the Achaemenid Empire . The Persians offered aid to Perinthus and Byzantion in 341 -- 340 BC , highlighting Macedonia 's strategic need to secure Thrace and the Aegean Sea against increasing Achaemenid encroachment , as the Persian king Artaxerxes III further consolidated his control over satrapies in western Anatolia . The latter region , yielding far more wealth and valuable resources than the Balkans , was also coveted by the Macedonian king for its sheer economic potential . When Philip II married Cleopatra Eurydice , niece of general Attalus , talk of providing new potential heirs at the wedding feast infuriated Philip II 's son Alexander , a veteran of the Battle of Chaeronea , and his mother Olympias . They fled together to Epirus before Alexander was recalled to Pella by Philip II . When Philip II arranged a marriage between his son Arrhidaeus and Ada of Caria , daughter of Pixodarus , the Persian satrap of Caria , Alexander intervened and proposed to marry Ada instead . Philip II then cancelled the wedding altogether and exiled Alexander 's advisors Ptolemy , Nearchus , and Harpalus . To reconcile with Olympias , Philip II had their daughter Cleopatra marry Olympias ' brother ( and Cleopatra 's uncle ) Alexander I of Epirus , but Philip II was assassinated by his bodyguard , Pausanias of Orestis , during their wedding feast and succeeded by Alexander in 336 BC .

Right , Bust of Alexander the Great , a Roman copy of the Imperial Era ( 1st or 2nd century AD ) after an original bronze sculpture made by the Greek sculptor Lysippos , Louvre , Paris . Alexander 's empire and his route Modern scholars have argued over the possible role of Alexander III `` the Great '' and his mother Olympias in the assassination of Philip II , noting the latter 's choice to exclude Alexander from his planned invasion of Asia , choosing instead for him to act as regent of Greece and deputy hegemon of the League of Corinth , and the potential bearing of another male heir between Philip II and his new wife , Cleopatra Eurydice . Alexander III ( r . 336 -- 323 BC ) was immediately proclaimed king by an assembly of the army and leading aristocrats , chief among them being Antipater and Parmenion . By the end of his reign and military career in 323 BC , Alexander would rule over an empire consisting of mainland Greece , Asia Minor , the Levant , ancient Egypt , Mesopotamia , Persia , and much of Central and South Asia ( i.e. modern Pakistan ) . Among his first acts was the burial of his father at Aigai . The members of the League of Corinth revolted at the news of Philip II 's death , but were soon quelled by military force alongside persuasive diplomacy , electing Alexander as hegemon of the league to carry out the planned invasion of Achaemenid Persia . In 335 BC , Alexander fought against the Thracian tribe of the Triballi at Haemus Mons and along the Danube , forcing their surrender on Peuce Island . Shortly thereafter , the Illyrian king Cleitus of the Dardani threatened to attack Macedonia , but Alexander took the initiative and besieged the Dardani at Pelion ( in modern Albania ) . When Thebes had once again revolted from the League of Corinth and was besieging the Macedonian garrison in the Cadmea , Alexander left the Illyrian front and marched to Thebes , which he placed under siege . After breaching the walls , Alexander 's forces killed 6,000 Thebans , took 30,000 inhabitants as prisoners of war , and burned the city to the ground as a warning that convinced all other Greek states except Sparta not to challenge Alexander again . Throughout his military career , Alexander won every battle that he personally commanded . His first victory against the Persians in Asia Minor at the Battle of the Granicus in 334 BC used a small cavalry contingent as a distraction to allow his infantry to cross the river followed by a cavalry charge from his companion cavalry . Alexander led the cavalry charge at the Battle of Issus in 333 BC , forcing the Persian king Darius III and his army to flee . Darius III , despite having superior numbers , was again forced to flee the Battle of Gaugamela in 331 BC . The Persian king was later captured and executed by his own satrap of Bactria and kinsman , Bessus , in 330 BC . The Macedonian king subsequently hunted down and executed Bessus in what is now Afghanistan , securing the region of Sogdia in the process . At the 326 BC Battle of the Hydaspes ( modern - day Punjab ) , when the war elephants of King Porus of the Pauravas threatened Alexander 's troops , he had them form open ranks to surround the elephants and dislodge their handlers by using their sarissa pikes . When his Macedonian troops threatened mutiny in 324 BC at Opis , Babylonia ( near modern Baghdad , Iraq ) , Alexander offered Macedonian military titles and greater responsibilities to Persian officers and units instead , forcing his troops to seek forgiveness at a staged banquet of reconciliation between Persians and Macedonians .

Alexander perhaps undercut his own rule by demonstrating signs of megalomania . While utilizing effective propaganda such as the cutting of the Gordian Knot , he also attempted to portray himself as a living god and son of Zeus following his visit to the oracle at Siwah in the Libyan Desert ( in modern - day Egypt ) in 331 BC . His attempt in 327 BC to have his men prostrate before him in Bactra in an act of proskynesis borrowed from the Persian kings was rejected as religious blasphemy by his Macedonian and Greek subjects after his court historian Callisthenes refused to perform this ritual . When Alexander had Parmenion murdered at Ecbatana ( near modern Hamadan , Iran ) in 330 BC , this was `` symptomatic of the growing gulf between the king 's interests and those of his country and people '' , according to Errington . His murder of Cleitus the Black in 328 BC is described as `` vengeful and reckless '' by Dawn L. Gilley and Ian Worthington . Continuing the polygamous habits of his father , Alexander encouraged his men to marry native women in Asia , leading by example when he wed Roxana , a Sogdian princess of Bactria . He then married Stateira II , eldest daughter of Darius III , and Parysatis II , youngest daughter of Artaxerxes III , at the Susa weddings in 324 BC . Meanwhile , in Greece , the Spartan king Agis III attempted to lead a rebellion of the Greeks against Macedonia . He was defeated in 331 BC at the Battle of Megalopolis by Antipater , who was serving as regent of Macedonia and deputy hegemon of the League of Corinth in Alexander 's stead . Before Antipater embarked on his campaign in the Peloponnese , Memnon , the governor of Thrace , was dissuaded from rebellion by use of diplomacy . Antipater deferred the punishment of Sparta to the League of Corinth headed by Alexander , who ultimately pardoned the Spartans on the condition that they submit fifty nobles as hostages . Antipater 's hegemony was somewhat unpopular in Greece due to his practice ( perhaps by order of Alexander ) of exiling malcontents and garrisoning cities with Macedonian troops , yet in 330 BC , Alexander declared that the tyrannies installed in Greece were to be abolished and Greek freedom was to be restored . Kingdoms of the diadochi c. 301 BC , after the Battle of Ipsus Kingdom of Ptolemy I Soter Kingdom of Cassander Kingdom of Lysimachus Kingdom of Seleucus I Nicator Epirus Other Carthage Roman Republic Greek States A golden stater of Philip III Arrhidaeus ( r . 323 -- 317 BC ) bearing images of Athena ( left ) and Nike ( right ) When Alexander the Great died at Babylon in 323 BC , his mother Olympias immediately accused Antipater and his faction of poisoning him , although there is no evidence to confirm this . With no official heir apparent , the Macedonian military command became split , with one side proclaiming Alexander 's half - brother Philip III Arrhidaeus ( r . 323 -- 317 BC ) as king and another siding with Alexander 's infant son with Roxana , Alexander IV ( r . 323 -- 309 BC ) . Except for the Euboeans and Boeotians , the Greeks also immediately rose up in a rebellion against Antipater known as the Lamian War ( 323 -- 322 BC ) . When Antipater was defeated at the 323 BC Battle of Thermopylae , he fled to Lamia where he was besieged by the Athenian commander Leosthenes . A Macedonian army led by Leonnatus rescued Antipater by lifting the siege . Antipater defeated the rebellion , yet his death in 319 BC left a power vacuum wherein the two proclaimed kings of Macedonia became pawns in a power struggle between the diadochi , the former generals of Alexander 's army . A council of the army convened in Babylon immediately after Alexander 's death , naming Philip III as king and the chiliarch Perdiccas as his regent . Antipater , Antigonus Monophthalmus , Craterus , and Ptolemy formed a coalition against Perdiccas in a civil war initiated by Ptolemy 's seizure of the hearse of Alexander the Great . Perdiccas was assassinated in 321 BC by his own officers during a failed campaign in Egypt against Ptolemy , where his march along the Nile River resulted in the drowning of 2,000 of his men . Although Eumenes of Cardia managed to kill Craterus in battle , this had little to no effect on the outcome of the 321 BC Partition of Triparadisus in Syria where the victorious coalition settled the issue of a new regency and territorial rights . Antipater was appointed as regent over the two kings . Before Antipater died in 319 BC , he named the staunch Argead loyalist Polyperchon as his successor , passing over his own son Cassander and ignoring the right of the king to choose a new regent ( since Philip III was considered mentally unstable ) , in effect bypassing the council of the army as well . Forming an alliance with Ptolemy , Antigonus , and Lysimachus , Cassander had his officer Nicanor capture the Munichia fortress of Athens ' port town Piraeus in defiance of Polyperchon 's decree that Greek cities should be free of Macedonian garrisons , sparking the Second War of the Diadochi ( 319 -- 315 BC ) . Given a string of military failures by Polyperchon , in 317 BC , Philip III , by way of his politically engaged wife Eurydice II of Macedon , officially replaced him as regent with Cassander . Afterwards , Polyperchon desperately sought the aid of Olympias in Epirus . A joint force of Epirotes , Aetolians , and Polyperchon 's troops invaded Macedonia and forced the surrender of Philip III and Eurydice 's army , allowing Olympias to execute the king and force his queen to commit suicide . Olympias then had Nicanor and dozens of other Macedonian nobles killed , but by the spring of 316 BC , Cassander had defeated her forces , captured her , and placed her on trial for murder before sentencing her to death . Cassander married Philip II 's daughter Thessalonike and briefly extended Macedonian control into Illyria as far as Epidamnos . By 313 BC , it was retaken by the Illyrian king Glaucias of Taulantii . By 316 BC , Antigonus had taken the territory of Eumenes and managed to eject Seleucus Nicator from his Babylonian satrapy , leading Cassander , Ptolemy , and Lysimachus to issue a joint ultimatum to Antigonus in 315 BC for him to surrender various territories in Asia . Antigonus promptly allied with Polyperchon , now based in Corinth , and issued an ultimatum of his own to Cassander , charging him with murder for executing Olympias and demanding that he hand over the royal family , King Alexander IV and the queen mother Roxana . The conflict that followed lasted until the winter of 312 / 311 BC , when a new peace settlement recognized Cassander as general of Europe , Antigonus as `` first in Asia '' , Ptolemy as general of Egypt , and Lysimachus as general of Thrace . Cassander had Alexander IV and Roxana put to death in the winter of 311 / 310 BC , and by 306 -- 305 BC , the diadochi were declared kings of their respective territories .

Cassander besieged Athens in 303 BC , but was forced to retreat to Macedonia when Demetrius invaded Boeotia to his rear , attempting to sever his path of retreat . While Antigonus and Demetrius attempted to recreate Philip II 's Hellenic league with themselves as dual hegemons , a revived coalition of Cassander , Ptolemy I Soter ( r . 305 -- 283 BC ) of Egypt 's Ptolemaic dynasty , Seleucus I Nicator ( r . 305 -- 281 BC ) of the Seleucid Empire , and Lysimachus ( r . 306 -- 281 BC ) , King of Thrace , defeated the Antigonids at the Battle of Ipsus in 301 BC , killing Antigonus and forcing Demetrius into flight . Cassander died in 297 BC , and his sickly son Philip IV died the same year , succeeded by Cassander 's other sons Alexander V of Macedon ( r . 297 -- 294 BC ) and Antipater II of Macedon ( r . 297 -- 294 BC ) , with their mother Thessalonike of Macedon acting as regent . While Demetrius fought against the Antipatrid forces in Greece , Antipater II killed his own mother to obtain power . His desperate brother Alexander V then requested aid from Pyrrhus of Epirus ( r . 297 -- 272 BC ) , who had fought alongside Demetrius at the Battle of Ipsus , but was sent to Egypt as a hostage as part of an agreement between Demetrius and Ptolemy I. In exchange for defeating the forces of Antipater II and forcing him to flee to the court of Lysimachus in Thrace , Pyrrhus was awarded the westernmost portions of the Macedonian kingdom . Demetrius had his nephew Alexander V assassinated and was then proclaimed king of Macedonia , but his subjects protested against his aloof , Eastern - style autocracy . War broke out between Pyrrhus and Demetrius in 290 BC when Lanassa , wife of Pyrrhus , daughter of Agathocles of Syracuse , left him for Demetrius and offered him her dowry of Corcyra . The war dragged on until 288 BC , when Demetrius lost the support of the Macedonians and fled the country . Macedonia was then divided between Pyrrhus and Lysimachus , the former taking western Macedonia and the latter eastern Macedonia . By 286 BC , Lysimachus had expelled Pyrrhus and his forces from Macedonia . In 282 BC , a new war erupted between Seleucus I and Lysimachus ; the latter was killed in the Battle of Corupedion , allowing Seleucus I to take control of Thrace and Macedonia . In two dramatic reversals of fortune , Seleucus I was assassinated in 281 BC by his officer Ptolemy Keraunos , son of Ptolemy I and grandson of Antipater , who was then proclaimed king of Macedonia before being killed in battle in 279 BC by Celtic invaders in the Gallic invasion of Greece . The Macedonian army proclaimed the general Sosthenes of Macedon as king , although he apparently refused the title . After defeating the Gallic ruler Bolgios and driving out the raiding party of Brennus , Sosthenes died and left a chaotic situation in Macedonia . The Gallic invaders ravaged Macedonia until Antigonus Gonatas , son of Demetrius , defeated them in Thrace at the 277 BC Battle of Lysimachia and was then proclaimed king Antigonus II of Macedon ( r . 277 -- 274 BC ; 272 -- 239 BC ) . In 280 BC , Pyrrhus embarked on a campaign in Magna Graecia ( i.e. southern Italy ) against the Roman Republic known as the Pyrrhic War , followed by his invasion of Sicily . Ptolemy Keraunos secured his position on the Macedonian throne by giving Pyrrhus five thousand soldiers and twenty war elephants for this endeavor . Pyrrhus returned to Epirus in 275 BC after the ultimate failure of both campaigns , which contributed to the rise of Rome because Greek cities in southern Italy such as Tarentum now became Roman allies . Pyrrhus invaded Macedonia in 274 BC , defeating the largely mercenary army of Antigonus II at the 274 BC Battle of Aous and driving him out of Macedonia , forcing him to seek refuge with his naval fleet in the Aegean . Ancient Macedonian paintings of Hellenistic - era military arms and armor from a tomb in ancient Mieza ( modern - day Lefkadia ) , Imathia , Central Macedonia , Greece , 2nd century BC Pyrrhus lost much of his support among the Macedonians in 273 BC when his unruly Gallic mercenaries plundered the royal cemetery of Aigai . Pyrrhus pursued Antigonus II in the Peloponnese , yet Antigonus II was ultimately able to recapture Macedonia . Pyrrhus was killed while besieging Argos in 272 BC , allowing Antigonus II to reclaim the rest of Greece . He then restored the Argead dynastic graves at Aigai and annexed the Kingdom of Paeonia . The Aetolian League hampered Antigonus II 's control over central Greece , and the formation of the Achaean League in 251 BC pushed Macedonian forces out of much of the Peloponnese and at times incorporated Athens and Sparta . While the Seleucid Empire aligned with Antigonid Macedonia against Ptolemaic Egypt during the Syrian Wars , the Ptolemaic navy heavily disrupted Antigonus II 's efforts to control mainland Greece . With the aid of the Ptolemaic navy , the Athenian statesman Chremonides led a revolt against Macedonian authority known as the Chremonidean War ( 267 -- 261 BC ) . By 265 BC , Athens was surrounded and besieged by Antigonus II 's forces , and a Ptolemaic fleet was defeated in the Battle of Cos. Athens finally surrendered in 261 BC . After Macedonia formed an alliance with the Seleucid ruler Antiochus II , a peace settlement between Antigonus II and Ptolemy II Philadelphus of Egypt was finally struck in 255 BC . The Temple of Apollo at Corinth , built c. 540 BC , with the Acrocorinth ( i.e. the acropolis of Corinth that once held a Macedonian garrison ) seen in the background In 251 BC , Aratus of Sicyon led a rebellion against Antigonus II , and in 250 BC , Ptolemy II declared his support for the self - proclaimed King Alexander of Corinth . Although Alexander died in 246 BC and Antigonus was able to score a naval victory against the Ptolemies at Andros , the Macedonians lost the Acrocorinth to the forces of Aratus in 243 BC , followed by the induction of Corinth into the Achaean League . Antigonus II made peace with the Achaean League in 240 BC , ceding the territories that he had lost in Greece . Antigonus II died in 239 BC and was succeeded by his son Demetrius II of Macedon ( r . 239 -- 229 BC ) . Seeking an alliance with Macedonia to defend against the Aetolians , the queen mother and regent of Epirus , Olympias II , offered her daughter Phthia of Macedon to Demetrius II in marriage . Demetrius II accepted her proposal , but he damaged relations with the Seleucids by divorcing Stratonice of Macedon . Although the Aetolians formed an alliance with the Achaean League as a result , Demetrius II was able to invade Boeotia and capture it from the Aetolians by 236 BC . The Achaean League managed to capture Megalopolis in 235 BC , and by the end of Demetrius II 's reign most of the Peloponnese except Argos was taken from the Macedonians . Demetrius II also lost an ally in Epirus when the monarchy was toppled in a republican revolution . Demetrius II enlisted the aid of the Illyrian king Agron to defend Acarnania against Aetolia , and in 229 BC , they managed to defeat the combined navies of the Aetolian and Achaean Leagues at the Battle of Paxos . Another Illyrian ruler , Longarus of the Dardanian Kingdom , invaded Macedonia and defeated an army of Demetrius II shortly before his death in 229 BC . Although his young son Philip immediately inherited the throne , his regent Antigonus III Doson ( r . 229 -- 221 BC ) , nephew of Antigonus II , was proclaimed king by the army , with Philip as his heir , following a string of military victories against the Illyrians in the north and the Aetolians in Thessaly . A tetradrachm minted during the reign of Antigonus III Doson ( r . 229 -- 221 BC ) , possibly at Amphipolis , bearing the portrait image of Poseidon on the obverse and on the reverse a scene depicting Apollo sitting on the prow of a ship Aratus sent an embassy to Antigonus III in 226 BC seeking an unexpected alliance now that the reformist king Cleomenes III of Sparta was threatening the rest of Greece in the Cleomenean War ( 229 -- 222 BC ) . In exchange for military aid , Antigonus III demanded the return of Corinth to Macedonian control , which Aratus finally agreed to in 225 BC . In 224 BC , Antigonus III 's forces took Arcadia from Sparta . After forming a Hellenic league in the same vein as Philip II 's League of Corinth , he managed to defeat Sparta at the Battle of Sellasia in 222 BC . Sparta was occupied by a foreign power for the first time in its history , restoring Macedonia 's position as the leading power in Greece . Antigonus died a year later , perhaps from tuberculosis , leaving behind a strong Hellenistic kingdom for his successor Philip V . Philip V of Macedon ( r . 221 -- 179 BC ) faced immediate challenges to his authority by the Illyrian Dardani and Aetolian League . Philip V and his allies were successful against the Aetolians and their allies in the Social War ( 220 -- 217 BC ) , yet he made peace with the Aetolians once he heard of incursions by the Dardani in the north and the Carthaginian victory over the Romans at the Battle of Lake Trasimene in 217 BC . Demetrius of Pharos is alleged to have convinced Philip V to first secure Illyria in advance of an invasion of the Italian peninsula . In 216 BC , Philip V sent a hundred light warships into the Adriatic Sea to attack Illyria , a move that prompted Scerdilaidas of the Ardiaean Kingdom to appeal to the Romans for aid . Rome responded by sending ten heavy quinqueremes from Roman Sicily to patrol the Illyrian coasts , causing Philip V to reverse course and order his fleet to retreat , averting open conflict for the time being . Conflict with Rome Main article : Macedonian Wars Further information : Cretan War ( 205 -- 200 BC ) , Punic Wars , and Macedonian -- Carthaginian Treaty The Kingdom of Macedonia ( orange ) under Philip V ( r . 221 -- 179 BC ) , with Macedonian dependent states ( dark yellow ) , the Seleucid Empire ( bright yellow ) , Roman protectorates ( dark green ) , the Kingdom of Pergamon ( light green ) , independent states ( light purple ) , and possessions of the Ptolemaic Empire ( violet purple ) In 215 BC , at the height of the Second Punic War with the Carthaginian Empire , Roman authorities intercepted a ship off the Calabrian coast holding a Macedonian envoy and a Carthaginian ambassador in possession of a treaty composed by Hannibal Barca declaring an alliance with Philip V . The treaty stipulated that Carthage had the sole right to negotiate the terms of Rome 's hypothetical surrender and promised mutual aid in the event that a resurgent Rome should seek revenge against either Macedonia or Carthage . Although the Macedonians were perhaps only interested in safeguarding their newly conquered territories in Illyria , the Romans were nevertheless able to thwart whatever grand ambitions Philip V had for the Adriatic region during the First Macedonian War ( 214 -- 205 BC ) . In 214 BC , Rome positioned a naval fleet at Oricus , which was assaulted along with Apollonia by Macedonian forces . When the Macedonians captured Lissus in 212 BC , the Roman Senate responded by inciting the Aetolian League , Sparta , Elis , Messenia , and Attalus I ( r . 241 -- 197 BC ) of Pergamon to wage war against Philip V , keeping him occupied and away from Italy . The Aetolian League concluded a peace agreement with Philip V in 206 BC , and the Roman Republic negotiated the Treaty of Phoenice in 205 BC , ending the war and allowing the Macedonians to retain some captured settlements in Illyria . Although the Romans rejected an Aetolian request in 202 BC for Rome to declare war on Macedonia once again , the Roman Senate gave serious consideration to the similar offer made by Pergamon and its ally Rhodes in 201 BC . These states were concerned about Philip V 's alliance with Antiochus III the Great of the Seleucid Empire , which invaded the war - weary and financially exhausted Ptolemaic Empire in the Fifth Syrian War ( 202 -- 195 BC ) as Philip V captured Ptolemaic settlements in the Aegean Sea . Although Rome 's envoys played a critical role in convincing Athens to join the anti-Macedonian alliance with Pergamon and Rhodes in 200 BC , the comitia centuriata ( people 's assembly ) rejected the Roman Senate 's proposal for a declaration of war on Macedonia . Meanwhile , Philip V conquered territories in the Hellespont and Bosporus as well as Ptolemaic Samos , which led Rhodes to form an alliance with Pergamon , Byzantium , Cyzicus , and Chios against Macedonia . Despite Philip V 's nominal alliance with the Seleucid king , he lost the naval Battle of Chios in 201 BC and was blockaded at Bargylia by the Rhodian and Pergamene navies . A tetradrachm of Philip V of Macedon ( r . 221 -- 179 BC ) , with the king 's portrait on the obverse and Athena Alkidemos brandishing a thunderbolt on the reverse While Philip V was busy fighting Rome 's Greek allies , Rome viewed this as an opportunity to punish this former ally of Hannibal with a war that they hoped would supply a victory and require few resources . The Roman Senate demanded that Philip V cease hostilities against neighboring Greek powers and defer to an international arbitration committee for settling grievances . When the comitia centuriata finally voted in approval of the Roman Senate 's declaration of war in 200 BC and handed their ultimatum to Philip V , demanding that a tribunal assess the damages owed to Rhodes and Pergamon , the Macedonian king rejected it . This marked the beginning of the Second Macedonian War ( 200 -- 197 BC ) , with Publius Sulpicius Galba Maximus spearheading military operations in Apollonia . Bronze bust of Eumenes II of Pergamon , a Roman copy of a Hellenistic Greek original , from the Villa of the Papyri in Herculaneum The Macedonians successfully defended their territory for roughly two years , but the Roman consul Titus Quinctius Flamininus managed to expel Philip V from Macedonia in 198 BC , forcing his men to take refuge in Thessaly . When the Achaean League switched their loyalties from Macedonia to Rome , the Macedonian king sued for peace , but the terms offered were considered too stringent , and so the war continued . In June 197 BC , the Macedonians were defeated at the Battle of Cynoscephalae . Rome then ratified a treaty that forced Macedonia to relinquish control of much of its Greek possessions outside of Macedonia proper , if only to act as a buffer against Illyrian and Thracian incursions into Greece . Although some Greeks suspected Roman intentions of supplanting Macedonia as the new hegemonic power in Greece , Flaminius announced at the Isthmian Games of 196 BC that Rome intended to preserve Greek liberty by leaving behind no garrisons and by not exacting tribute of any kind . His promise was delayed by negotiations with the Spartan king Nabis , who had meanwhile captured Argos , yet Roman forces evacuated Greece in 194 BC . Encouraged by the Aetolian League and their calls to liberate Greece from the Romans , the Seleucid king Antiochus III landed with his army at Demetrias , Thessaly , in 192 BC , and was elected strategos by the Aetolians . Macedonia , the Achaean League , and other Greek city - states maintained their alliance with Rome . The Romans defeated the Seleucids in the 191 BC Battle of Thermopylae as well as the Battle of Magnesia in 190 BC , forcing the Seleucids to pay a war indemnity , dismantle most of its navy , and abandon its claims to any territories north or west of the Taurus Mountains in the 188 BC Treaty of Apamea . With Rome 's acceptance , Philip V was able to capture some cities in central Greece in 191 -- 189 BC that had been allied to Antiochus III , while Rhodes and Eumenes II ( r . 197 -- 159 BC ) of Pergamon gained territories in Asia Minor . Failing to please all sides in various territorial disputes , the Roman Senate decided in 184 / 183 BC to force Philip V to abandon Aenus and Maronea , since these had been declared free cities in the Treaty of Apamea . This assuaged the fear of Eumenes II that Macedonia could no longer pose a threat to his lands in the Hellespont . Perseus of Macedon ( r . 179 -- 168 BC ) succeeded Philip V and executed his brother Demetrius , who had been favored by the Romans but was charged by Perseus with high treason . Perseus then attempted to form marriage alliances with Prusias II of Bithynia and Seleucus IV Philopator of the Seleucid Empire , along with renewed relations with Rhodes that greatly unsettled Eumenes II . Although Eumenes II attempted to undermine these diplomatic relationships , Perseus fostered an alliance with the Boeotian League , extended his authority into Illyria and Thrace , and in 174 BC , won the role of managing the Temple of Apollo at Delphi as a member of the Amphictyonic Council . Left , a tetradrachm of Perseus of Macedon ( r . 179 -- 168 BC ) , British Museum . Right , The Triumph of Aemilius Paulus ( detail ) by Carle Vernet , 1789 . Eumenes II came to Rome in 172 BC and delivered a speech to the Senate denouncing the alleged crimes and transgressions of Perseus . This convinced the Roman Senate to declare the Third Macedonian War ( 171 -- 168 BC ) . Although Perseus 's forces were victorious against the Romans at the Battle of Callinicus in 171 BC , the Macedonian army was defeated at the Battle of Pydna in June 168 BC . Perseus fled to Samothrace but surrendered shortly afterwards , was brought to Rome for the triumph of Lucius Aemilius Paullus Macedonicus , and was placed under house arrest at Alba Fucens , where he died in 166 BC . The Romans abolished the Macedonian monarchy by installing four separate allied republics in its stead , their capitals located at Amphipolis , Thessalonica , Pella , and Pelagonia . The Romans imposed severe laws inhibiting many social and economic interactions between the inhabitants of these republics , including the banning of marriages between them and the ( temporary ) prohibition on gold and silver mining . A certain Andriscus , claiming Antigonid descent , rebelled against the Romans and was pronounced king of Macedonia , defeating the army of the Roman praetor Publius Iuventius Thalna during the Fourth Macedonian War ( 150 -- 148 BC ) . Despite this , Andriscus was defeated in 148 BC at the second Battle of Pydna by Quintus Caecilius Metellus Macedonicus , whose forces occupied the kingdom . This was followed in 146 BC by the Roman destruction of Carthage and victory over the Achaean League at the Battle of Corinth , ushering in the era of Roman Greece and the gradual establishment of the Roman province of Macedonia . Institutions Main article : Government of Macedonia ( ancient kingdom ) Division of power Further information : Ancient Greek law The Vergina Sun , the 16 - ray star covering the royal burial larnax of Philip II of Macedon ( r . 359 -- 336 BC ) , discovered in the tomb of Vergina , formerly ancient Aigai At the head of Macedonia 's government was the king ( basileus ) . From at least the reign of Philip II , the king was assisted by the royal pages ( basilikoi paides ) , bodyguards ( somatophylakes ) , companions ( hetairoi ) , friends ( philoi ) , an assembly that included members of the military , and ( during the Hellenistic period ) magistrates . Evidence is lacking regarding the extent to which each of these groups shared authority with the king or if their existence had a basis in a formal constitutional framework . Before the reign of Philip II , the only institution supported by textual evidence is the monarchy . Kingship and the royal court The earliest known government of ancient Macedonia was that of its monarchy , lasting until 167 BC when it was abolished by the Romans . The Macedonian hereditary monarchy existed since at least the time of Archaic Greece , with Homeric aristocratic roots in Mycenaean Greece . Thucydides wrote that in previous ages , Macedonia was divided into small tribal regions , each having its own petty king , the tribes of Lower Macedonia eventually coalescing under one great king who exercised power as an overlord over the lesser kings of Upper Macedonia . The direct line of father - to - son succession was broken after the assassination of Orestes of Macedon in 396 BC ( allegedly by his regent and successor Aeropus II of Macedon ) , clouding the issue of whether primogeniture was the established custom or if there was a constitutional right for an assembly of the army or of the people to choose another king . It is unclear if the male offspring of Macedonian queens or consorts were always preferred over others given the accession of Archelaus I of Macedon , son of Perdiccas II of Macedon and a slave woman , although Archelaus succeeded the throne after murdering his father 's designated heir apparent . Hades abducting Persephone , fresco in the small Macedonian royal tomb at Vergina , Macedonia , Greece , c. 340 BC It is known that Macedonian kings before Philip II upheld the privileges and carried out the responsibilities of hosting foreign diplomats , determining the kingdom 's foreign policies , and negotiating alliances with foreign powers . After the Greek victory at Salamis in 480 BC , the Persian commander Mardonius had Alexander I of Macedon sent to Athens as a chief envoy to orchestrate an alliance between the Achaemenid Empire and Athens . The decision to send Alexander was based on his marriage alliance with a noble Persian house and his previous formal relationship with the city - state of Athens . With their ownership of natural resources including gold , silver , timber , and royal land , the early Macedonian kings were also capable of bribing foreign and domestic parties with impressive gifts . Little is known about the judicial system of ancient Macedonia except that the king acted as the chief judge of the kingdom . The Macedonian kings were also supreme commanders of the military . Philip II was also highly regarded for his acts of piety in serving as the high priest of the nation . He performed daily ritual sacrifices and led religious festivals . Alexander imitated various aspects of his father 's reign , such as granting land and gifts to loyal aristocratic followers , but lost some core support among them for adopting some of the trappings of an Eastern , Persian monarch , a `` lord and master '' as Carol J. King suggests , instead of a `` comrade - in - arms '' as was the traditional relationship of Macedonian kings with their companions . Alexander 's father , Philip II , was perhaps influenced by Persian traditions when he adopted institutions similar to those found in the Achaemenid realm , such as having a royal secretary , royal archive , royal pages , and a seated throne . Royal pages Left , the god Dionysos riding a cheetah , mosaic floor in the `` House of Dionysos '' at Pella , Greece , c. 330 -- 300 BC . Right , a framentary votive relief depicting a youth ladling wine from a krater next to a round table with vases , from the agora of Pella , end of 4th century BC , Archaeological Museum of Pella . The royal pages were adolescent boys and young men conscripted from aristocratic households and serving the kings of Macedonia perhaps from the reign of Philip II onward , although more solid evidence dates to the reign of Alexander the Great . Royal pages played no direct role in high politics and were conscripted as a means to introduce them to political life . After a period of training and service , pages were expected to become members of the king 's companions and personal retinue . During their training , pages were expected to guard the king as he slept , supply him with horses , aid him in mounting his horse , accompany him on royal hunts , and serve him during symposia ( i.e. formal drinking parties ) . Although there is little evidence for royal pages in the Antigonid period , it is known that some of them fled with Perseus of Macedon to Samothrace following his defeat by the Romans in 168 BC . Bodyguards Royal bodyguards served as the closest members to the king at court and on the battlefield . They were split into two categories : the agema of the hypaspistai , a type of ancient special forces usually numbering in the hundreds , and a smaller group of men handpicked by the king either for their individual merits or to honor the noble families to which they belonged . Therefore , the bodyguards , limited in number and forming the king 's inner circle , were not always responsible for protecting the king 's life on and off the battlefield ; their title and office was more a mark of distinction , perhaps used to quell rivalries between aristocratic houses . Companions , friends , councils , and assemblies Left , an atrium with a pebble - mosaic paving , in Pella , Greece . Right , a fragmentary inscription bearing the names of six city archons ( politarchs ) , 2nd century BC , Archaeological Museum of Pella . The companions , including the elite companion cavalry and pezhetairoi infantry , represented a substantially larger group than the king 's bodyguards . The most trusted or highest ranking companions formed a council that served as an advisory body to the king . A small amount of evidence suggests the existence of an assembly of the army during times of war and a people 's assembly during times of peace . Members of the council had the right to speak freely , and although there is no direct evidence that they voted on affairs of state , it is clear that the king was at least occasionally pressured to agree to their demands . The assembly was apparently given the right to judge cases of high treason and assign punishments for them , such as when Alexander the Great acted as prosecutor in the trial and conviction of three alleged conspirators in his father 's assassination plot ( while many others were acquitted ) . However , there is perhaps insufficient evidence to allow a conclusion that councils and assemblies were regularly upheld or constitutionally grounded , or that their decisions were always heeded by the king . At the death of Alexander the Great , the companions immediately formed a council to assume control of his empire , but it was soon destabilized by open rivalry and conflict between its members . The army also used mutiny as a tool to achieve political ends . Magistrates , the commonwealth , local government , and allied states Antigonid Macedonian kings relied on various regional officials to conduct affairs of state . This included high - ranking municipal officials , such as the military strategos and the politarch , i.e. the elected governor ( archon ) of a large city ( polis ) , as well as the politico - religious office of the epistates . No evidence exists about the personal backgrounds of these officials , although they may have been chosen among the same group of aristocratic philoi and hetairoi who filled vacancies for army officers . Left , a silver tetradrachm issued by the city of Amphipolis in 364 -- 363 BC ( before its conquest by Philip II of Macedon in 357 BC ) , showing the head of Apollo on the obverse and racing torch on the reverse . Right , a golden stater depicting Philip II , minted at Amphipolis in 340 BC ( or later during Alexander 's reign ) , shortly after its conquest by Philip II and incorporation into the Macedonian commonwealth In ancient Athens , the Athenian democracy was restored on three separate occasions following the initial conquest of the city by Antipater in 322 BC . When it fell repeatedly under Macedonian rule it was governed by a Macedonian - imposed oligarchy composed of the wealthiest members of the city - state . Other city - states were handled quite differently and were allowed a greater degree of autonomy . After Philip II conquered Amphipolis in 357 BC , the city was allowed to retain its democracy , including its constitution , popular assembly , city council ( boule ) , and yearly elections for new officials , but a Macedonian garrison was housed within the city walls along with a Macedonian royal commissioner ( epistates ) to monitor the city 's political affairs . Philippi , the city founded by Philip II , was the only other city in the Macedonian commonwealth that had a democratic government with popular assemblies , since the assembly ( ecclesia ) of Thessaloniki seems to have had only a passive function in practice . Some cities also maintained their own municipal revenues . The Macedonian king and central government administered the revenues generated by temples and priesthoods . Within the Macedonian commonwealth , some evidence from the 3rd century BC indicates that foreign relations were handled by the central government . Although individual Macedonian cities nominally participated in Panhellenic events as independent entities , in reality , the granting of asylia ( inviolability , diplomatic immunity , and the right of asylum at sanctuaries ) to certain cities was handled directly by the king . Likewise , the city - states within contemporary Greek koina ( i.e. , federations of city - states , the sympoliteia ) obeyed the federal decrees voted on collectively by the members of their league . In city - states belonging to a league or commonwealth , the granting of proxenia ( i.e. the hosting of foreign ambassadors ) was usually a right shared by local and central authorities . Abundant evidence exists for the granting of proxenia as being the sole prerogative of central authorities in the neighboring Epirote League , and some evidence suggests the same arrangement in the Macedonian commonwealth . City - states that were allied with Macedonia issued their own decrees regarding proxenia . Foreign leagues also formed alliances with the Macedonian kings , such as when the Cretan League signed treaties with Demetrius II Aetolicus and Antigonus III Doson ensuring enlistment of Cretan mercenaries into the Macedonian army , and elected Philip V of Macedon as honorary protector ( prostates ) of the league .

Right , an ancient Macedonian bronze shield excavated from the archaeological site at Bonče in the Republic of Macedonia , dated 4th century BC . Early Macedonian army Further information : Government of Macedonia ( ancient kingdom ) The basic structure of the Ancient Macedonian army was the division between the companion cavalry ( hetairoi ) and the foot companions ( pezhetairoi ) , augmented by various allied troops , foreign levied soldiers , and mercenaries . The foot companions existed perhaps since the reign of Alexander I of Macedon . Macedonian cavalry , wearing muscled cuirasses , became renowned in Greece during and after their involvement in the Peloponnesian War , at times siding with either Athens or Sparta . Macedonian infantry in this period consisted of poorly trained shepherds and farmers , while the cavalry was composed of noblemen . As evidenced by early 4th century BC artwork , there was a pronounced Spartan influence on the Macedonian army before Philip II . Nicholas Viktor Sekunda states that at the beginning of Philip II 's reign in 359 BC , the Macedonian army consisted of 10,000 infantry and 600 cavalry , yet Malcolm Errington cautions that these figures cited by ancient authors should be treated with some skepticism . Philip II and Alexander the Great Further information : Military tactics in Ancient Greece and Thessalian cavalry After spending years as a political hostage in Thebes , Philip II sought to imitate the Greek example of martial exercises and the issuing of standard equipment for citizen soldiery , and succeeded in transforming the Macedonian army from a levied force of unprofessional farmers into a well - trained , professional army . Philip II adopted some of the military tactics of his enemies , such as the embolon ( flying wedge ) cavalry formation of the Scythians . His infantry wielded peltai shields that replaced the earlier hoplon - style shield , were equipped with protective helmets , greaves , and either cuirass breastplates or kotthybos stomach bands , and armed with sarissa pikes and a dagger as a secondary weapon . The elite hypaspistai infantry , composed of handpicked men from the ranks of the pezhetairoi , were formed during the reign of Philip II and saw continued use during the reign of Alexander the Great . Philip II was also responsible for the establishment of the royal bodyguards ( somatophylakes ) . An ancient fresco of Macedonian soldiers from the tomb of Agios Athanasios , Thessaloniki , Greece , 4th century BC For his lighter missile troops , Philip II employed mercenary Cretan archers as well as Thracian , Paeonian , and Illyrian javelin throwers , slingers , and archers . He hired engineers such as Polyidus of Thessaly and Diades of Pella , who were capable of building state of the art siege engines and artillery that fired large bolts . Following the acquisition of the lucrative mines at Krinides ( renamed Philippi ) , the royal treasury could afford to field a permanent , professional standing army . The increase in state revenues under Philip II allowed the Macedonians to build a small navy for the first time , which included triremes . The only Macedonian cavalry units attested under Alexander were the companion cavalry , yet he formed a hipparchia ( i.e. unit of a few hundred horsemen ) of companion cavalry composed entirely of ethnic Persians while campaigning in Asia . When marching his forces into Asia , Alexander brought 1,800 cavalrymen from Macedonia , 1,800 cavalrymen from Thessaly , 600 cavalrymen from the rest of Greece , and 900 prodromoi cavalry from Thrace . Antipater was able to quickly raise a force of 600 native Macedonian cavalry to fight in the Lamian War when it began in 323 BC . The most elite members of Alexander 's hypaspistai were designated as the agema , and a new term for hypaspistai emerged after the Battle of Gaugamela in 331 BC : the argyraspides ( silver shields ) . The latter continued to serve after the reign of Alexander the Great and may have been of Asian origin . Overall , his pike - wielding phalanx infantry numbered some 12,000 men , 3,000 of which were elite hypaspistai and 9,000 of which were pezhetairoi . Alexander continued the use of Cretan archers and introduced native Macedonian archers into the army . After the Battle of Gaugamela , archers of West Asian backgrounds became commonplace . Antigonid period military Fresco of an ancient Macedonian soldier ( thorakites ) wearing chainmail armor and bearing a thureos shield , 3rd century BC , İstanbul Archaeology Museums The Macedonian army continued to evolve under the Antigonid dynasty . It is uncertain how many men were appointed as somatophylakes , which numbered eight men at the end of Alexander the Great 's reign , while the hypaspistai seem to have morphed into assistants of the somatophylakes . At the Battle of Cynoscephalae in 197 BC , the Macedonians commanded some 16,000 phalanx pikemen . Alexander the Great 's royal squadron of companion cavalry contained 800 men , the same number of cavalrymen in the sacred squadron ( Latin : sacra ala ; Greek : hiera ile ) commanded by Philip V of Macedon during the Social War of 219 BC . The regular Macedonian cavalry numbered 3,000 at Callinicus , which was separate from the sacred squadron and royal cavalry . While Macedonian cavalry of the 4th century BC had fought without shields , the use of shields by cavalry was adopted from the Celtic invaders of the 270s BC who settled in Galatia , central Anatolia . Thanks to contemporary inscriptions from Amphipolis and Greia dated 218 and 181 BC , respectively , historians have been able to partially piece together the organization of the Antigonid army under Philip V. From at least the time of Antigonus III Doson , the most elite Antigonid - period infantry were the peltasts , lighter and more maneuverable soldiers wielding peltai javelins , swords , and a smaller bronze shield than Macedonian phalanx pikemen , although they sometimes served in that capacity . Among the peltasts , roughly 2,000 men were selected to serve in the elite agema vanguard , with other peltasts numbering roughly 3,000 . The number of peltasts varied over time , perhaps never more than 5,000 men . They fought alongside the phalanx pikemen , divided now into chalkaspides ( bronze shield ) and leukaspides ( white shield ) regiments . The Antigonid Macedonian kings continued to expand and equip the navy . Cassander maintained a small fleet at Pydna , Demetrius I of Macedon had one at Pella , and Antigonus II Gonatas , while serving as a general for Demetrius in Greece , used the navy to secure the Macedonian holdings in Demetrias , Chalkis , Piraeus , and Corinth . The navy was considerably expanded during the Chremonidean War ( 267 -- 261 BC ) , allowing the Macedonian navy to defeat the Ptolemaic Egyptian navy at the 255 BC Battle of Cos and 245 BC Battle of Andros , and enabling Macedonian influence to spread over the Cyclades . Antigonus III Doson used the Macedonian navy to invade Caria , while Philip V sent 200 ships to fight in the Battle of Chios in 201 BC . The Macedonian navy was reduced to a mere six vessels as agreed in the 197 BC peace treaty that concluded the Second Macedonian War with the Roman Republic , although Perseus of Macedon quickly assembled some lemboi at the outbreak of the Third Macedonian War in 171 BC .

Right , marble cult statue of Aphrodite Hypolympidia , dated 2nd century BC , from the sanctuary of Isis at Dion , Pieria , Central Macedonia , Greece , now in the Archaeological Museum of Dion . Language and dialects Main article : Ancient Macedonian language Further information : History of Greek and Ancient Greek dialects Following its adoption as the court language of Philip II of Macedon 's regime , authors of ancient Macedonia wrote their works in Koine Greek , the lingua franca of late Classical and Hellenistic Greece . Rare textual evidence indicates that the native Macedonian language was either a dialect of Greek similar to Thessalian Greek and Northwestern Greek , or a language closely related to Greek . The vast majority of surviving inscriptions from ancient Macedonia were written in Attic Greek and its successor Koine . Attic ( and later Koine ) Greek was the preferred language of the Ancient Macedonian army , although it is known that Alexander the Great once shouted an emergency order in Macedonian to his royal guards during the drinking party where he killed Cleitus the Black . Macedonian became extinct in either the Hellenistic or the Roman period , and entirely replaced by Koine Greek .

In Macedonia , political and religious offices were often intertwined . For instance , the head of state for the city of Amphipolis also served as the priest of Asklepios , Greek god of medicine ; a similar arrangement existed at Cassandreia , where a cult priest honoring the city 's founder Cassander was the nominal municipal leader . Foreign cults from Egypt were fostered by the royal court , such as the temple of Sarapis at Thessaloniki , while Macedonian kings Philip III of Macedon and Alexander IV of Macedon made votive offerings to the internationally esteemed Samothrace temple complex of the Cabeiri mystery cult . The main sanctuary of Zeus was maintained at Dion , while another at Veria was dedicated to Herakles and was patronized by Demetrius II Aetolicus ( r . 239 -- 229 BC ) . In the three royal tombs at Vergina , professional painters decorated the walls with a mythological scene of Hades abducting Persephone and royal hunting scenes , while lavish grave goods including weapons , armor , drinking vessels , and personal items were housed with the dead , whose bones were burned before burial in golden coffins . Some grave goods and decorations were common in other Macedonian tombs , yet some items found at Vergina were distinctly tied to royalty , including a diadem , luxurious goods , and arms and armor . Scholars have debated about the identity of the tomb occupants since the discovery of their remains in 1977 -- 1978 , and recent research and forensic examination have concluded that at least one of the persons buried was Philip II . Located near Tomb 1 are the above - ground ruins of a heroon , a shrine for cult worship of the dead . In 2014 , the ancient Macedonian Kasta Tomb was discovered outside of Amphipolis and is the largest ancient tomb found in Greece ( as of 2017 ) . Economics and Social class Main article : Economy of ancient Greece Further information : Slavery in ancient Greece , Prostitution in ancient Greece , and Pederasty in ancient Greece Young Macedonian men were typically expected to engage in hunting and martial combat as a by - product of their transhumance lifestyle of herding livestock such as goats and sheep , while horse breeding and raising cattle were other common pursuits . Some Macedonians engaged in farming , often with irrigation , land reclamation , and horticulture activities supported by the Macedonian state . The Macedonian economy and state finances were mainly supported by logging and by mining valuable minerals such as copper , iron , gold , and silver . The conversion of these raw materials into finished products and the sale of those products encouraged the growth of urban centers and a gradual shift away from the traditional rustic Macedonian lifestyle during the course of the 5th century BC . The Macedonian king was an autocratic figure at the head of both government and society , with arguably unlimited authority to handle affairs of state and public policy , but he was also the leader of a very personal regime with close relationships or connections to his hetairoi , the core of the Macedonian aristocracy . These aristocrats were second only to the king in terms of power and privilege , filling the ranks of his administration and serving as commanding officers in the military . It was in the more bureaucratic regimes of the Hellenistic kingdoms that succeeded Alexander the Great 's empire where greater social mobility for members of society seeking to join the aristocracy could be found , especially in Ptolemaic Egypt . Although governed by a king and martial aristocracy , Macedonia seems to have lacked the widespread use of slaves seen in contemporaneous Greek states .

Right , fresco from the Tomb of Judgment in ancient Mieza ( modern - day Lefkadia ) , Imathia , Central Macedonia , Greece , depicting religious imagery of the afterlife , 4th century BC . By the reign of Archelaus I in the 5th century BC , the ancient Macedonian elite was importing customs and artistic traditions from other regions of Greece while retaining more archaic , perhaps Homeric , funerary rites connected with the symposium that were typified by items such as the decorative metal kraters that held the ashes of deceased Macedonian nobility in their tombs . Among these is the large bronze Derveni Krater from a 4th - century BC tomb of Thessaloniki , decorated with scenes of the Greek god Dionysus and his entourage and belonging to an aristocrat who had had a military career . Macedonian metalwork usually followed Athenian styles of vase shapes from the 6th century BC onward , with drinking vessels , jewellery , containers , crowns , diadems , and coins among the many metal objects found in Macedonian tombs . Alexander ( left ) , wearing a kausia and fighting an Asiatic lion with his friend Craterus ( detail ) ; late 4th - century BC mosaic , Pella Museum . Surviving Macedonian painted artwork includes frescoes and murals , but also decoration on sculpted artwork such as statues and reliefs . For instance , trace colors still exist on the bas - reliefs of the late 4th - century BC Alexander Sarcophagus . Macedonian paintings have allowed historians to investigate the clothing fashions as well as military gear worn by the ancient Macedonians . Aside from metalwork and painting , mosaics are another significant form of surviving Macedonian artwork . The Stag Hunt Mosaic of Pella , with its three - dimensional qualities and illusionist style , show clear influence from painted artwork and wider Hellenistic art trends , although the rustic theme of hunting was tailored to Macedonian tastes . The similar Lion Hunt Mosaic of Pella illustrates either a scene of Alexander the Great with his companion Craterus , or simply a conventional illustration of the royal diversion of hunting . Mosaics with mythological themes include scenes of Dionysus riding a panther and Helen of Troy being abducted by Theseus , the latter of which employs illusionist qualities and realistic shading similar to Macedonian paintings . Common themes of Macedonian paintings and mosaics include warfare , hunting , and aggressive masculine sexuality ( i.e. abduction of women for rape or marriage ) ; these subjects are at times combined within a single work and perhaps indicate a metaphorical connection . Theatre , music and performing arts Further information : Theatre in ancient Greece and Music in ancient Greece Philip II was assassinated in 336 BC at the theatre of Aigai , Macedonia , amid games and spectacles celebrating the marriage of his daughter Cleopatra of Macedon . Alexander the Great was allegedly a great admirer of both theatre and music . He was especially fond of the plays by Classical Athenian tragedians Aeschylus , Sophocles , and Euripides , whose works formed part of a proper Greek education for his new eastern subjects alongside studies in the Greek language , including the epics of Homer . While he and his army were stationed at Tyre ( in modern - day Lebanon ) , Alexander had his generals act as judges not only for athletic contests but also for stage performances of Greek tragedies . The contemporaneous famous actors Thessalus and Athenodorus performed at the event . Music was also appreciated in Macedonia . In addition to the agora , the gymnasium , the theatre , and religious sanctuaries and temples dedicated to Greek gods and goddesses , one of the main markers of a true Greek city in the empire of Alexander the Great was the presence of an odeon for musical performances . This was the case not only for Alexandria in Egypt , but also cities as distant as Ai - Khanoum in what is now modern - day Afghanistan . Literature , education , philosophy , and patronage Further information : Literature in ancient Greece , Education in ancient Greece , Philosophy in ancient Greece , Hellenistic philosophy , Ancient Greek medicine , and Ancient Macedonian calendar Portrait bust of Aristotle , an Imperial Roman ( 1st or 2nd century AD ) copy of a lost bronze sculpture made by Lysippos Perdiccas II of Macedon was able to host well - known Classical Greek intellectual visitors at his royal court , such as the lyric poet Melanippides and the renowned medical doctor Hippocrates , and Pindar 's enkomion written for Alexander I of Macedon may have been composed at his court . Archelaus I received many more Greek scholars , artists , and celebrities at his court than his predecessors . His honored guests included the painter Zeuxis , the architect Callimachus , the poets Choerilus of Samos , Timotheus of Miletus , and Agathon , as well as the famous Athenian playwright Euripides . The philosopher Aristotle , who studied at the Platonic Academy of Athens and established the Aristotelian school of thought , moved to Macedonia , and is said to have tutored the young Alexander the Great , as well as serving as an esteemed diplomat for Philip II . Among Alexander 's retinue of artists , writers , and philosophers was Pyrrho of Elis , founder of Pyrrhonism , the school of philosophical skepticism . During the Antigonid period , Antigonos Gonatas fostered cordial relationships with Menedemos of Eretria , founder of the Eretrian school of philosophy , and Zenon , the founder of Stoicism . In terms of early Greek historiography and later Roman historiography , Felix Jacoby identified thirteen possible ancient historians who wrote about Macedonia in his Fragmente der griechischen Historiker . Aside from accounts in Herodotus and Thucydides , the works compiled by Jacoby are only fragmentary , whereas other works are completely lost , such as the history of an Illyrian war fought by Perdiccas III written by Antipater . The Macedonian historians Marsyas of Pella and Marsyas of Philippi wrote histories of Macedonia , the Ptolemaic king Ptolemy I Soter authored a history about Alexander , and Hieronymus of Cardia wrote a history about Alexander 's royal successors . Following the Indian campaign of Alexander the Great , the Macedonian military officer Nearchus wrote a work of his voyage from the mouth of the Indus river to the Persian Gulf . The Macedonian historian Craterus published a compilation of decrees made by the popular assembly of the Athenian democracy , ostensibly while attending the school of Aristotle . Philip V of Macedon had manuscripts of the history of Philip II written by Theopompus gathered by his court scholars and disseminated with further copies . Sports and leisure Further information : History of sport § Ancient Greece , Gymnasium ( ancient Greece ) , Ancient Olympic Games , and Music in ancient Greece A fresco showing Hades and Persephone riding in a chariot , from the tomb of Queen Eurydice I of Macedon at Vergina , Greece , 4th century BC When Alexander I of Macedon petitioned to compete in the foot race of the ancient Olympic Games , the event organizers at first denied his request , explaining that only Greeks were allowed to compete . However , Alexander I produced proof of an Argead royal genealogy showing ancient Argive Temenid lineage , a move that ultimately convinced the Olympic Hellanodikai authorities of his Greek descent and ability to compete . By the end of the 5th century BC , the Macedonian king Archelaus I was crowned with the olive wreath at both Olympia and Delphi ( in the Pythian Games ) for winning chariot racing contests . Philip II allegedly heard of the Olympic victory of his horse ( in either an individual horse race or chariot race ) on the same day his son Alexander the Great was born , on either 19 or 20 July 356 BC . Non-royal Macedonians also competed in and won various Olympic contests by the 4th century BC . In addition to literary contests , Alexander the Great staged competitions for music and athletics across his empire . Dining and cuisine Further information : Ancient Greek cuisine and Wine in ancient Greece A banquet scene from a Macedonian tomb of Agios Athanasios , Thessaloniki , 4th century BC ; shown are six men reclining on couches , with food arranged on nearby tables , a male servant in attendance , and female musicians providing entertainment . Ancient Macedonia produced only a few fine foods or beverages that were highly appreciated elsewhere in the Greek world , including eels from the Strymonian Gulf and special wine produced in Chalcidice . The earliest known use of flat bread as a plate for meat was made in Macedonia during the 3rd century BC , which perhaps influenced the later trencher bread of medieval Europe . Cattle and goats were consumed , although there was no notice of Macedonian mountain cheeses in literature until the Middle Ages . The comedic playwright Menander wrote that Macedonian dining habits penetrated Athenian high society ; for instance , the introduction of meats into the dessert course of a meal . The Macedonians also most likely introduced mattye to Athenian cuisine , a dish usually made of chicken or other spiced , salted , and sauced meats served during the wine course . This particular dish was derided and connected with licentiousness and drunkenness in a play by the Athenian comic poet Alexis about the declining morals of Athenians in the age of Demetrius I of Macedon . The symposium in the Macedonian and wider Greek realm was a banquet for the nobility and privileged class , an occasion for feasting , drinking , entertainment , and sometimes philosophical discussion . The hetairoi , leading members of the Macedonian aristocracy , were expected to attend such feasts with their king . They were also expected to accompany him on royal hunts for the acquisition of game meat as well as for sport .

Left , Athenian terracotta figurine , c. 300 BC . Right , Macedonian terracotta figurine , 3rd century BC There is some disagreement among both ancient authors and modern scholars about the ethnic identity of the ancient Macedonians . Ernst Badian notes that nearly all surviving references to antagonisms and differences between Greeks and Macedonians exist in the written speeches of Arrian , who lived at the time of the Roman Empire , when any notion of an ethnic disparity between Macedonians and other Greeks was incomprehensible . Hatzopoulos argues that there was no real ethnic difference between Macedonians and Greeks , only a political distinction contrived after the creation of the League of Corinth in 337 BC ( which was led by Macedonia through the league 's elected hegemon Philip II , when he was not a member of the league itself ) , N.G.L. Hammond asserts that ancient views differentiating Macedonia 's ethnic identity from the rest of the Greek - speaking world should be seen as an expression of conflict between two different political systems : the democratic system of the city - states ( e.g. Athens ) versus the monarchy ( Macedonia ) . Other academics who concur that the difference between the Macedonians and Greeks was a political rather than a true ethnic discrepancy include Michael B. Sakellariou , Malcolm Errington , and Craige B. Champion . Anson argues that some Hellenic authors expressed complex or even ever - changing and ambiguous ideas about the exact ethnic identity of the Macedonians , who were considered by some such as Aristotle in his Politics as barbarians and others as semi-Greek or fully Greek . Roger D. Woodard asserts that in addition to persisting uncertainty in modern times about the proper classification of the Macedonian language and its relation to Greek , ancient authors also presented conflicting ideas about the Macedonians . Simon Hornblower argues on the Greek identity of the Macedonians , taking into consideration their origin , language , cults and customs . Any preconceived ethnic differences between Greeks and Macedonians faded by 148 BC soon after the Roman conquest of Macedonia and then the rest of Greece with the defeat of the Achaean League by the Roman Republic at the Battle of Corinth ( 146 BC ) .

Left , fragments of ancient Macedonian painted roof tiles ( raking , simas , pan-tiles ) , Archaeological Museum of Pella , Greece . Right , the Ionic capital of a pilaster from the palace at Pella , Archaeological Museum of Pella . Macedonian architecture , although utilizing a mixture of different forms and styles from the rest of Greece , did not represent a unique or diverging style from other ancient Greek architecture . Among the classical orders , Macedonian architects favored the Ionic order , especially in the peristyle courtyards of private homes . There are several surviving examples , albeit in ruins , of Macedonian palatial architecture , including a palace at the site of the capital Pella , the summer residence of Vergina near the old capital Aigeiai , and the royal residence at Demetrias near modern Volos . At Vergina , the ruins of three large banquet halls with marble - tiled floors ( covered in the debris of roof tiles ) with floor plan dimensions measuring roughly 16.7 x 17.6 m ( 54.8 x 57.7 ft ) demonstrate perhaps the earliest examples of monumental triangular roof trusses , if dated before the reign of Antigonus II Gonatas or even the onset of the Hellenistic period . Later Macedonian architecture also featured arches and vaults . The palaces of both Vergina and Demetrias had walls made of sundried bricks , while the latter palace had four corner towers around a central courtyard in the manner of a fortified residence fit for a king or at least a military governor . Macedonian rulers also sponsored works of architecture outside of Macedonia proper . For instance , following his victory at the Battle of Chaeronea ( 338 BC ) , Philip II raised a round memorial building at Olympia known as the Philippeion , decorated inside with statues depicting him , his parents Amyntas III of Macedon and Eurydice I of Macedon , his wife Olympias , and his son Alexander the Great . Ruins of the ancient theatre in Maroneia , Rhodope , East Macedonia and Thrace , Greece The ruins of roughly twenty Greek theatres survive in the present - day regions of Macedonia and Thrace in Greece : sixteen open - air theatres , three odea , and a possible theatre in Veria undergoing excavation . Military Technology and Engineering Further information : Greek and Roman artillery , Ancient Greek warfare , Lithobolos , and Siege ladder By the Hellenistic period , it became common for Greek states to finance the development and proliferation of ever more powerful torsion siege engines , naval ships , and standardized designs for arms and armor . Under Philip II and Alexander the Great , improvements were made to siege artillery such as bolt - shooting ballistae and siege engines such as huge rolling siege towers . E. W. Marsden and M. Y . Treister contend that the Macedonian rulers Antigonus I Monophthalmus and his successor Demetrius I of Macedon had the most powerful siege artillery of the Hellenistic world at the end of the 4th century BC . The siege of Salamis , Cyprus , in 306 BC necessitated the building of large siege engines and drafting of craftsmen from parts of West Asia . The siege tower commissioned by Demetrius I for the Macedonian Siege of Rhodes ( 305 -- 304 BC ) and manned by over three thousand soldiers was built at a height of nine stories . It had a base of 4,300 square feet ( 399 square metres ) , eight wheels that were steered in either direction by pivots , three sides covered in iron plates to protect them from fire , and mechanically opened windows ( shielded with wool - stuffed leather curtains to soften the blow of ballistae rounds ) of different sizes to accommodate the firing of missiles ranging from arrows to larger bolts . During the siege of Echinus by Philip V of Macedon in 211 BC , the besiegers built underground tunnels to protect the soldiers and sappers as they went back and forth from the camp to the siege works . These included two siege towers connected by a makeshift wickerwork curtain wall mounted with stone - shooting ballistae , and sheds to protect the approach of the battering ram . Despite the early reputation of Macedon as a leader in siege technology , Alexandria in Ptolemaic Egypt became the center for technological improvements to the catapult by the 3rd century BC , as evidenced by the writings of Philo of Alexandria . Other innovations Further information : Ancient Macedonian calendar Although perhaps not as prolific as other areas of Greece in regards to technological innovations , there are some inventions that may have originated in Macedonia aside from siege engines and artillery . The rotary - operated olive press for producing olive oil may have been invented in ancient Macedonia or another part of Greece , or even as far east as the Levant or Anatolia . Mold - pressed glass first appeared in Macedonia in the 4th century BC ( although it could have simultaneously existed in the Achaemenid Empire ) ; the first known clear , translucent glass pieces of the Greek world have been discovered in Macedonia and Rhodes and date to the second half of the 4th century BC . Greek technical and scientific literature began with Classical Athens in the 5th century BC , while the major production centers for technical innovation and texts during the Hellenistic period were Alexandria , Rhodes , and Pergamon . Currency , finances , and resources Main article : Government of Macedonia ( ancient kingdom ) Further information : Ancient Greek coinage and Economy of ancient Greece Tetradrachms ( above ) and drachms ( below ) issued during the reign of Alexander the Great , now in the Numismatic Museum of Athens The minting of silver coinage began during the reign of Alexander I as a means to pay for royal expenditures . Archelaus I increased the silver content of his coins as well as minting copper coins to promote foreign and domestic commerce . The minting of coinage significantly increased during the reigns of Philip II and Alexander the Great , especially after the increase in state revenues following the seizure of the Pangaion Hills . During the Hellenistic period the royal houses of Macedonia , Ptolemaic Egypt , and the Kingdom of Pergamon exercised full monopolistic control over mining activities , largely to ensure the funding of their armies . By the end of the conquests of Alexander the Great , nearly thirty mints stretching from Macedonia to Babylon produced standard coins . The right to mint coins was shared by central and some local governments , i.e. the autonomous municipal governments of Thessaloniki , Pella , and Amphipolis within the Macedonian commonwealth . The Macedonians were also the first to issue different coins for internal and external circulation . State revenues were also raised by collecting produce from arable lands , timber from forests , and taxes on imports and exports at harbors . Some mines , groves , agricultural lands , and forests belonging to the Macedonian state were exploited by the Macedonian king , although these were often leased as assets or given as grants to members of the nobility such as the hetairoi and philoi . Tariffs exacted on goods flowing in and out of Macedonian seaports existed from at least the reign of Amyntas III , and Callistratus of Aphidnae ( d. c. 350 BC ) aided Perdiccas III in doubling the kingdom 's annual profits on customs duties from 20 to 40 talents . After the defeat of Perseus at Pydna in 168 BC , the Roman Senate allowed the reopening of iron and copper mines , but forbade the mining of gold and silver by the four newly established autonomous client states that replaced the monarchy in Macedonia . The law may originally have been conceived by the Senate due to the fear that material wealth gained from gold and silver mining operations would allow the Macedonians to fund an armed rebellion . The Romans were perhaps also concerned with stemming inflation caused by an increased money supply from Macedonian silver mining . The Macedonians continued minting silver coins between 167 and 148 BC ( i.e. just before the establishment of the Roman province of Macedonia ) , and when the Romans lifted the ban on Macedonian silver mining in 158 BC it may simply have reflected the local reality of this illicit practice continuing regardless of the Senate 's decree . Legacy Further information : Hellenic studies , Hellenistic religion , Hellenistic Judaism , and Hellenism ( neoclassicism ) The reigns of Philip II and Alexander the Great witnessed the demise of Classical Greece and the birth of Hellenistic civilization , following the spread of Greek culture to the Near East during and after Alexander 's conquests . Macedonians then migrated to Egypt and parts of Asia , but the intensive colonization of foreign lands sapped the available manpower in Macedonia proper , weakening the kingdom in its fight with other Hellenistic powers and contributing to its downfall and conquest by the Romans . However , the diffusion of Greek culture and language cemented by Alexander 's conquests in West Asia and North Africa served as a `` precondition '' for the later Roman expansion into these territories and entire basis for the Byzantine Empire , according to Errington . The Alexander Mosaic , a Roman mosaic from Pompeii , Italy , c. 100 BC The ethnic Macedonian rulers of the Ptolemaic and Seleucid successor states accepted men from all over the Greek world as their hetairoi companions and did not foster a national identity like the Antigonids . Modern scholarship has focused on how these Hellenistic successor kingdoms were influenced more by their Macedonian origins than Eastern or southern Greek traditions . While Spartan society remained mostly insular and Athens continued placing strict limitations on acquiring citizenship , the cosmopolitan Hellenistic cities of Asia and northeastern Africa bore a greater resemblance to Macedonian cities and contained a mixture of subjects including natives , Greek and Macedonian colonists , and Greek - speaking Hellenized Easterners , many of whom were the product of intermarriage between Greeks and native populations . The deification of Macedonian monarchs perhaps began with the death of Philip II , but it was his son Alexander the Great who unambiguously claimed to be a living god . Following his visit to the oracle of Didyma in 334 BC that suggested his divinity , Alexander traveled to the Oracle of Zeus Ammon -- the Greek equivalent of the Egyptian Amun - Ra -- at the Siwa Oasis of the Libyan Desert in 332 BC to confirm his divine status . Although the Ptolemaic and Seleucid empires maintained ancestral cults and deified their rulers , kings were not worshiped in the Kingdom of Macedonia . While Zeus Ammon was known to the Greeks prior to Alexander 's reign , particularly at the Greek colony of Cyrene , Libya , Alexander was the first Macedonian monarch to patronize Egyptian , Persian , and Babylonian priesthoods and deities , strengthening the fusion of Near Eastern and Greek religious beliefs . After his reign , the cult of Isis gradually spread throughout the Hellenistic and Roman world , while beliefs in the Egyptian god Sarapis were thoroughly Hellenized by the Ptolemaic rulers of Egypt before the spread of his cult to Macedonia and the Aegean region . The German historian Johann Gustav Droysen argued that the conquests of Alexander the Great and creation of the Hellenistic world allowed for the growth and establishment of Christianity in the Roman era .

Jump up ^ Written evidence about Macedonian governmental institutions made before Philip II of Macedon 's reign is both rare and non-Macedonian in origin . The main sources of early Macedonian historiography are the works of Herodotus , Thucydides , Diodorus Siculus , and Justin . Contemporary accounts given by those such as Demosthenes were often hostile and unreliable ; even Aristotle , who lived in Macedonia , provides us with terse accounts of its governing institutions . Polybius was a contemporary historian who wrote about Macedonia ; later historians include Livy , Quintus Curtius Rufus , Plutarch , and Arrian . The works of these historians affirm Macedonia 's hereditary monarchy and basic institutions , yet it remains unclear if there was an established constitution for Macedonian government . See : King 2010 , pp. 373 -- 374 . However , N.G.L. Hammond and F.W.

See Granier 1931 , pp. 4 -- 28 , 48 -- 57 and King 2010 , pp. 374 -- 375 .

By the end of the 5th century BC , Hellanicus of Lesbos asserted Macedon was the son of Aeolus , the latter a son of Hellen and ancestor of the Aeolians , one of the major tribes of the Greeks . As well as belonging to tribal groups such as the Aeolians , Dorians , Achaeans , and Ionians , Anson also stresses the fact that some Greeks even distinguished their ethnic identities based on the polis ( i.e. city - state ) they originally came from . See : Anson 2010 , p. 15 . Jump up ^ For instance , Demosthenes when labeling Philip II of Macedon as a non-Greek barbarian whereas Polybius called Greeks and Macedonians as homophylos ( i.e. part of the same race or kin ) .

After the priest and Oracle of Zeus Ammon at the Siwa Oasis convinced him that Philip II was merely his mortal father and Zeus his actual father , Alexander began styling himself as the ' Son of Zeus ' , which brought him into contention with some of his Greek subjects who adamantly believed that living men could not be immortals .

It was occupied by several tribal states , which were constantly at war against Illyrians , Paeonians and Thracians . Each state had its own monarchy . Special prestige attached to the Lyncestae whose royal family , the Bacchiadae claimed descent from Heracles , and to the Macedonians , whose royal family had a similar ancestry . ( ... ) In the opinion of the city - states these tribal states were backward and unworthy of the Greek name , although they spoke dialects of the Greek language . According to Aristotle , monarchy was the mark of people too stupid to govern themselves . Jump up ^ Sakellariou 1983 , pp. 52 .

'' perhaps needs to be chopped up further . The Macedonian kings emerge as Greeks by criterion one , namely shared blood , and personal names indicate that Macedonians generally moved north from Greece . The kings , the elite , and the generality of the Macedonians were Greeks by criteria two and three , that is , religion and language . Macedonian customs ( criterion four ) were in certain respects unlike those of a normal apart , perhaps , from the institutions which I have characterized as feudal . The crude one - word answer to the question has to be `` yes . '' Jump up ^ Hatzopoulos 2011b , p. 74 . Jump up ^ Bolman 2016 , pp. 120 -- 121 . ^ Jump up to : Winter 2006 , p. 163 .

British General John Burgoyne led a large invasion army southward from Canada in the Champlain Valley , hoping to meet a similar British force marching northward from New York City and another British force marching eastward from Lake Ontario ; the southern and western forces never arrived , and Burgoyne was surrounded by American forces in upstate New York . He fought two small battles to break out which took place 18 days apart on the same ground , 9 miles ( 14 km ) south of Saratoga , New York . They both failed . Burgoyne found himself trapped by superior American forces with no relief in sight , so he retreated to Saratoga ( now Schuylerville ) and surrendered his entire army there on October 17 . His surrender , says historian Edmund Morgan , `` was a great turning point of the war because it won for Americans the foreign assistance which was the last element needed for victory . '' Burgoyne 's strategy to divide New England from the southern colonies had started well but slowed due to logistical problems . He won a small tactical victory over General Horatio Gates and the Continental Army in the September 19 Battle of Freeman 's Farm at the cost of significant casualties . His gains were erased when he again attacked the Americans in the October 7 Battle of Bemis Heights and the Americans captured a portion of the British defenses . Burgoyne was therefore compelled to retreat , and his army was surrounded by the much larger American force at Saratoga , forcing him to surrender on October 17 . News of Burgoyne 's surrender was instrumental in formally bringing France into the war as an American ally , although it had previously given supplies , ammunition , and guns , notably the de Valliere cannon which played an important role in Saratoga . This battle also resulted in Spain joining France in the war against Britain . The battle on September 19 began when Burgoyne moved some of his troops in an attempt to flank the entrenched American position on Bemis Heights . Benedict Arnold anticipated the maneuver and placed significant forces in his way . Burgoyne did gain control of Freeman 's Farm , but it came at the cost of significant casualties . Skirmishing continued in the days following the battle , while Burgoyne waited in the hope that reinforcements would arrive from New York City . Patriot militia forces continued to arrive , meanwhile , swelling the size of the American army . Disputes within the American camp led Gates to strip Arnold of his command . British General Sir Henry Clinton moved up from New York City and attempted to divert American attention by capturing two forts in the Hudson River highlands on October 6 , but his efforts were too late to help Burgoyne . Burgoyne attacked Bemis Heights again on October 7 after it became apparent that he would not receive relieving aid in time . This battle culminated in heavy fighting marked by Arnold 's spirited rallying of the American troops . Burgoyne 's forces were thrown back to the positions that they held before the September 19 battle and the Americans captured a portion of the entrenched British defenses .

They decided to split the Thirteen Colonies and isolate New England from what they believed to be the more Loyalist middle and southern colonies . The British command devised a plan to divide the colonies with a three - way pincer movement in 1777 . The western pincer under the command of Barry St. Leger was to progress from Ontario through western New York , following the Mohawk River , and the southern pincer was to progress up the Hudson River valley from New York City . The northern pincer was to proceed southward from Montreal , and the three forces were to meet in the vicinity of Albany , New York , severing New England from the other colonies . British situation General John Burgoyne was referred to by some as `` Gentleman Johnny '' for his manners ( portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds , c. 1760 ) British General John Burgoyne moved south from the province of Quebec in June 1777 to gain control of the upper Hudson River valley . His campaign had become bogged down in difficulties following a victory at Fort Ticonderoga . Elements of the army had reached the upper Hudson as early as the end of July , but logistical and supply difficulties delayed the main army at Fort Edward . One attempt to alleviate these difficulties failed when nearly 1,000 men were killed or captured at the August 16 Battle of Bennington . Furthermore , news reached Burgoyne on August 28 that St. Leger 's expedition down the Mohawk River valley had turned back after the failed Siege of Fort Stanwix . General William Howe had taken his army from New York City by sea on a campaign to capture Philadelphia instead of moving north to meet Burgoyne . Most of Burgoyne 's Indian support had fled following the loss at Bennington , and his situation was becoming difficult . He needed to reach defensible winter quarters , requiring either retreat back to Ticonderoga or advance to Albany , and he decided to advance . He then deliberately cut communications to the north so that he would not need to maintain a chain of heavily fortified outposts between his position and Ticonderoga , and he decided to cross the Hudson River while he was in a relatively strong position . He ordered Baron Riedesel , who commanded the rear of the army , to abandon outposts from Skenesboro south , and then had the army cross the Hudson just north of Saratoga between September 13 and 15 . American situation General Horatio Gates , portrait by Gilbert Stuart The Continental Army had been in a slow retreat since Burgoyne 's capture of Ticonderoga early in July , under the command of Major General Philip Schuyler , and was encamped south of Stillwater , New York . On August 19 , Major General Horatio Gates assumed command from Schuyler , whose political fortunes had fallen over the loss of Ticonderoga and the ensuing retreat . Gates and Schuyler were from very different backgrounds and did not get along with each other ; they had previously argued over command issues in the army 's Northern Department . The army was growing in size because of increased militia turnout following calls by state governors , the success at Bennington , and widespread outrage over the slaying of Jane McCrea , the fiancée of a Loyalist in Burgoyne 's army by Indians under Burgoyne 's command . General George Washington 's strategic decisions also improved the situation for Gates ' army . Washington was most concerned about the movements of General Howe . He was aware that Burgoyne was also moving , and he took some risks in July . He sent aid north in the form of Major General Benedict Arnold , his most aggressive field commander , and Major General Benjamin Lincoln , a Massachusetts man noted for his influence with the New England militia . He ordered 750 men from Israel Putnam 's forces defending the New York highlands to join Gates ' army in August , before he was certain that Howe had indeed sailed south . He also sent some of the best forces from his own army : Colonel Daniel Morgan and the newly formed Provisional Rifle Corps , which comprised about 500 specially selected riflemen from Pennsylvania , Maryland , and Virginia , chosen for their sharpshooting ability . This unit came to be known as Morgan 's Riflemen . Map showing the movements of the opposing armies in the Saratoga campaign , and plan of the Battles of Saratoga ( inset ) On September 7 , Gates ordered his army to march north . A site was selected for its defensive potential that was known as Bemis Heights , just north of Stillwater and about 10 miles ( 16 km ) south of Saratoga ; the army spent about a week constructing defensive works designed by Polish engineer Tadeusz Kościuszko . The heights had a clear view of the area and commanded the only road to Albany , where it passed through a defile between the heights and the Hudson River . To the west of the heights lay more heavily forested bluffs that would present a significant challenge to any heavily equipped army . First Saratoga : battle of Freeman 's Farm ( September 19 ) Prelude Moving cautiously , since the departure of his Native American support had deprived him of reliable reports on the American position , Burgoyne advanced to the south after crossing the Hudson . On September 18 the vanguard of his army had reached a position just north of Saratoga , about 4 miles ( 6.4 km ) from the American defensive line , and skirmishes occurred between American scouting parties and the leading elements of his army . The American camp had become a bed of festering intrigue ever since Arnold 's return from Fort Stanwix . While he and Gates had previously been on reasonably good terms in spite of their prickly egos , Arnold managed to turn Gates against him by taking on officers friendly to Schuyler as staff , dragging him into the ongoing feud between the two . These conditions had not yet reached a boil on September 19 , but the day 's events contributed to the situation . Gates had assigned the left wing of the defenses to Arnold , and assumed command himself of the right , which was nominally assigned to General Lincoln , whom Gates had detached in August with some troops to harass the British positions behind Burgoyne 's army . Initial dispositions and movements at the Battle of Freeman 's Farm , 19 September 1777 Both Burgoyne and Arnold understood the importance of the American left , and the need to control the heights there . After the morning fog lifted around 10 am , Burgoyne ordered the army to advance in three columns . Baron Riedesel led the left column , consisting of the German troops and the 47th Foot , on the river road , bringing the main artillery and guarding supplies and the boats on the river . General James Inglis Hamilton commanded the center column , consisting of the 9th , 20th , 21st , and 62nd regiments , which would attack the heights , and General Simon Fraser led the right wing with the 24th Regiment and the light infantry and grenadier companies , to turn the American left flank by negotiating the heavily wooded high ground north and west of Bemis Heights . Arnold also realized such a flanking maneuver was likely , and petitioned Gates for permission to move his forces from the heights to meet potential movements , where the American skill at woodlands combat would be at an advantage . Gates , whose preferred strategy was to sit and wait for the expected frontal assault , grudgingly permitted a reconnaissance in force consisting of Daniel Morgan 's men and Henry Dearborn 's light infantry . When Morgan 's men reached an open field northwest of Bemis Heights belonging to Loyalist John Freeman , they spotted British advance troops in the field . Fraser 's column was slightly delayed and had not yet reached the field , while Hamilton 's column had also made its way across a ravine and was approaching the field from the east through dense forest and difficult terrain . Riedesel 's force , while it was on the road , was delayed by obstacles thrown down by the Americans . The sound of gunfire to the west prompted Riedesel to send some of his artillery down a track in that direction . The troops Morgan 's men saw were an advance company from Hamilton 's column . Battle Map depicting the positions at 1 : 00 pm Morgan placed marksmen at strategic positions , who then picked off virtually every officer in the advance company . Morgan and his men then charged , unaware that they were headed directly for Burgoyne 's main army . While they succeeded in driving back the advance company , Fraser 's leading edge arrived just in time to attack Morgan 's left , scattering his men back into the woods . James Wilkinson , who had ridden forward to observe the fire , returned to the American camp for reinforcements . As the British company fell back toward the main column , the leading edge of that column opened fire , killing a number of their own men . Modern view of the battleground of Freeman 's Farm There was then a lull in the fighting around 1 : 00 pm as Hamilton 's men began to form up on the north side of the field , and American reinforcements began to arrive from the south . Learning that Morgan was in trouble , Gates ordered out two more regiments ( 1st and 3rd New Hampshire ) to support him , with additional regiments ( 2nd New York , 4th New York , the 1st Canadian , and Connecticut militia ) from the brigade of Enoch Poor to follow . Burgoyne arrayed Hamilton 's men with the 21st on the right , the 20th on the left , and the 62nd in the center , with the 9th held in reserve . Map depicting the positions at 3 : 00 pm The battle then went through phases alternating between intense fighting and breaks in the action . Morgan 's men had regrouped in the woods , and picked off officers and artillerymen . They were so effective at reducing the latter that the Americans several times gained brief control of British field pieces , only to lose them in the next British charge . At one point it was believed that Burgoyne himself had been taken down by a sharpshooter ; it was instead one of Burgoyne 's aides , riding a richly dressed horse , who was the victim . The center of the British line was very nearly broken at one point , and only the intervention of General Phillips , leading the 20th , made it possible for the 62nd to reform . In Roger Lamb 's memoir , ( a British soldier present at the battle ) , he wrote ' ' In this battle an unusual number of officers fell , as our army abounded with young men of respectability at this time , who after several years of general peace anterior to the American revolution , were attracted to the profession of arms . Three sulbalterns ( officers ) of the 20th regiment on this occasion , the oldest of whom did not exceed the age of seventeen years , were buried together ' ' The final stroke of the battle belonged to the British . Around 3 pm , Riedesel sent a messenger to Burgoyne for instructions . He returned two hours later with orders to guard the baggage train , but also to send as many men as he could spare toward the American right flank . In a calculated risk , Riedesel left 500 men to guard the vital supply train and marched off toward the action with the rest of his column . Two of his companies advanced on the double and opened vicious fire on the American right , and Fraser 's force threatened to turn the American left flank . In response to the latter threat , Arnold requested more forces , and Gates allowed him to dispatch Ebenezer Learned 's brigade ( 2nd , 8th and 9th Massachusetts ) . ( If Arnold had been on the field , these forces might have instead faced the larger danger posed by Riedesel 's force . ) Fortunately for the American right , darkness set in , bringing an end to the battle . The Americans retreated back to their defenses , leaving the British on the field . Map depicting the positions at 5 : 00 pm Burgoyne had gained the field of battle , but suffered nearly 600 casualties . Most of these were to Hamilton 's center column , where the 62nd was reduced to the size of a single company , and three quarters of the artillerymen were killed or wounded . American losses were nearly 300 killed and seriously wounded . It has been widely recounted in histories of this battle that General Arnold was on the field , directing some of the action . However , John Luzader , a former park historian at the Saratoga National Historical Park , carefully documents the evolution of this story and believes it is without foundation in contemporary materials , and that Arnold remained at Gates ' headquarters , receiving news and dispatching orders through messengers . Arnold biographer James Kirby Martin , however , disagrees with Luzader , arguing that Arnold played a more active role at Freeman 's Farm by directing patriot troops into position and possibly leading some charges before being ordered back to headquarters by Gates . Interlude ... an attack or even menace of an attack on Fort Montgomery must be of great use ... Burgoyne to Clinton , September 23 , 1777 Burgoyne 's council discussed whether to attack the next day , and a decision was reached to delay further action at least one day , to September 21 . The army moved to consolidate the position closer to the American line while some men collected their dead . The attack on the 21st was called off when Burgoyne received a letter dated September 12 from Henry Clinton , who was commanding the British garrison in New York City . Clinton suggested that he could `` make a push at ( Fort ) Montgomery in about ten days . '' ( Fort Montgomery was an American post on the Hudson River , in the New York Highlands south of West Point ) . If Clinton left New York on September 22 , `` about ten days '' after he wrote the letter , he still could not hope to arrive in the vicinity of Saratoga before the end of the month . Burgoyne , running low on men and food , was still in a very difficult position , but he decided to wait in the hope that Clinton would arrive to save his army . Burgoyne wrote to Clinton on September 23 , requesting some sort of assistance or diversion to draw Gates ' army away . Clinton sailed from New York on October 3 , and captured Forts Montgomery and Clinton on October 6 . The furthest north any of his troops reached was Clermont , where they raided the estate of the prominent Patriot Livingston family on October 16 . Plan of battlefield of Saratoga , and views of John Neilson 's house ( which served as headquarters for Enoch Poor and Benedict Arnold ) from south , east and inside Unknown to either side at Saratoga , General Lincoln and Colonel John Brown had staged an attack against the British position at Fort Ticonderoga . Lincoln had collected 2,000 men at Bennington by early September . Brown and a detachment of 500 men captured poorly defended positions between Ticonderoga and Lake George , and then spent several days ineffectually bombarding the fort . These men , and some of the prisoners they freed along the way , were back in the American camp by September 29 . In the American camp , the mutual resentment between Horatio Gates and Benedict Arnold finally exploded into open hostility . Gates quickly reported the action of September 19 to the Congress and Governor George Clinton of New York , but he failed to mention Arnold at all . The field commanders and men universally credited Arnold for their success . Almost all the troops involved were from Arnold 's command and Arnold was the one directing the battle while Gates sat in his tent . Arnold protested , and the dispute escalated into a shouting match that ended with Gates relieving Arnold of his command and giving it to Benjamin Lincoln . Arnold asked for a transfer to Washington 's command , which Gates granted , but instead of leaving he remained in his tent . There is no documentary evidence for a commonly recounted anecdote that a petition signed by line officers convinced Arnold to stay in camp . During this period there were almost daily clashes between pickets and patrols of the two armies . Morgan 's sharpshooters , familiar with the strategy and tactics of woodland warfare , constantly harassed British patrols on the western flank . As September passed into October it became clear that Clinton was not coming to help Burgoyne , who put the army on short rations on October 3 . The next day , Burgoyne called a war council in which several options were discussed , but no conclusive decisions were made . When the council resumed the next day , Riedesel proposed retreat , in which he was supported by Fraser . Burgoyne refused to consider it , insisting that retreat would be disgraceful . They finally agreed to conduct an assault on the American left flank with two thousand men , more than one - third of the army , on October 7 . The army he was attacking , however , had grown in the interval . In addition to the return of Lincoln 's detachment , militiamen and supplies continued to pour into the American camp , including critical increases in ammunition , which had been severely depleted in the first battle . The army Burgoyne faced on October 7 was more than 12,000 men strong and was led by a man who knew how much trouble Burgoyne was in . Gates had received consistent intelligence from the stream of deserters leaving the British lines and had also intercepted Clinton 's response to Burgoyne 's plea for help . Second Saratoga : battle of Bemis Heights ( October 7 ) See also : Second Saratoga order of battle British foray Benedict Arnold at Battle of Bemis Heights While Burgoyne 's troop strength was nominally higher , he likely had only about 5,000 effective , battle - ready troops on October 7 , as losses from the earlier battles in the campaign and desertions following the September 19 battle had reduced his forces . General Riedesel advised that the army retreat . Burgoyne decided to reconnoiter the American left flank to see if an attack was possible . As an escort , the generals took Fraser 's Advanced Corps , with light troops and the 24th Foot on the right and the combined British grenadiers on the left , and a force drawn from all the German regiments in the army in the center . There were eight British cannon under Major Williams and two Hesse - Hanau cannon under Captain Pausch . Leaving their camp between 10 and 11 am , they advanced about three - quarters of a mile ( 1 km ) to Barber 's wheat field on a rise above Mill Brook , where they stopped to observe the American position . While the field afforded some room for artillery to work , the flanks were dangerously close to the surrounding woods . Gates , following the removal of Arnold from the field command , assumed command of the American left and gave the right to General Lincoln . When American scouts brought news of Burgoyne 's movement to Gates , he ordered Morgan 's riflemen out to the far left , with Poor 's men ( 1st , 2nd , and 3rd New Hampshire on the left ; the 2nd and 4th New York Regiments ) on the right , and Learned 's ( 1st New York , 1st Canadian , 2nd , 8th and 9th Massachusetts Regiments , plus militia companies ) in the center . A force of 1,200 New York militia under Brigadier General Abraham Ten Broeck was held in reserve behind Learned 's line . In all , more than 8,000 Americans took the field that day , including about 1,400 men from Lincoln 's command that were deployed when the action became particularly fierce . Benedict Arnold portrait by Thomas Hart The opening fire came between 2 and 2 : 30 pm from the British grenadiers . Poor 's men held their fire , and the terrain made the British shooting largely ineffective . When Major Acland led the British grenadiers in a bayonet charge , the Americans finally began shooting at close range . Acland fell , shot in both legs , and many of the grenadiers also went down . Their column was a total rout , and Poor 's men advanced to take Acland and Williams prisoner and capture their artillery . On the American left , things were also not going well for the British . Morgan 's men swept aside the Canadians and Native Americans to engage Fraser 's regulars . Although slightly outnumbered , Morgan managed to break up several British attempts to move west . While General Fraser was mortally wounded in this phase of the battle , a frequently told story claiming it to be the work of Timothy Murphy , one of Morgan 's men , appears to be a 19th - century fabrication . The fall of Fraser and the arrival of Ten Broeck 's large militia brigade ( which roughly equaled the entire British reconnaissance force in size ) , broke the British will , and they began a disorganized retreat toward their entrenchments . Burgoyne was also very nearly killed by one of Morgan 's marksmen ; three shots hit his horse , hat , and waistcoat . The first phase of the battle lasted about one hour and cost Burgoyne nearly 400 men , including the capture of most of the grenadiers ' command , and six of the ten field pieces brought to the action . American attack Troop dispositions and initial movements at the Battle of Bemis Heights At this point , the Americans were joined by an unexpected participant . General Arnold , who was `` betraying great agitation and wrath '' in the American camp , and may have been drinking , rode out to join the action . Gates immediately sent Major Armstrong after him with orders to return ; Armstrong did not catch up with Arnold until the action was effectively over . ( A letter , written by a witness to proceedings in the camp , suggests that Arnold did in fact have authorization from Gates to engage in this action . ) The defenses on the right side of the British camp were anchored by two redoubts . The outermost one was defended by about 300 men under the command of the Hessian Heinrich von Breymann , while the other was under the command of Lord Balcarres . A small contingent of Canadians occupied the ground between these two fortifications . Most of the retreating force headed for Balcarres ' position , as Breymann 's was slightly north and further away from the early action . Arnold led the American chase , and then led Poor 's men in an attack on the Balcarres redoubt . Balcarres had set up his defenses well , and the redoubt was held , in action so fierce that Burgoyne afterwards wrote , `` A more determined perseverance than they showed ... is not in any officer 's experience '' . Seeing that the advance was checked , and that Learned was preparing to attack the Breymann redoubt , Arnold moved toward that action , recklessly riding between the lines and remarkably emerging unhurt . He led the charge of Learned 's men through the gap between the redoubts , which exposed the rear of Breymann 's position , where Morgan 's men had circled around from the far side . In furious battle , the redoubt was taken and Breymann was killed . Arnold 's horse was hit in one of the final volleys , and Arnold 's leg was broken by both shot and the falling horse . Major Armstrong finally caught up with Arnold to officially order him back to headquarters ; he was carried back in a litter . The capture of Breymann 's redoubt exposed the British camp , but darkness was setting in . An attempt by some Germans to retake the redoubt ended in capture as darkness fell and an unreliable guide led them to the American line . Aftermath For more details on Burgoyne 's movements and eventual surrender after these battles , see Saratoga campaign § Surrender . Burgoyne 's failed campaign , as may be seen by the titles of some of the books that cover it in detail , marked a major turning point in the war . After the battle , he withdrew his men 10 -- 15 miles north , near present - day Schuylerville , New York . General Burgoyne returned to England and was never given another commanding position in the British Army . Armies and casualties Boot Monument , depicting Arnold 's injured leg Burgoyne lost 1,000 men in the two battles , leaving him outnumbered by roughly 3 to 1 ; American losses came to about 500 killed and wounded . Burgoyne had also lost several of his most effective leaders , his attempts to capture the American position had failed , and his forward line was now breached . That night he lit fires at his remaining forward positions and withdrew under the cover of darkness . On the morning of October 8 , he was back in the fortified positions he had held on September 16 . By October 13 he was surrounded at Saratoga , and on October 17 he surrendered his army . The remnants of his expedition retreated from Ticonderoga back to Quebec . The British learned that the Americans would fight bravely and effectively . Said one British officer : The courage and obstinacy with which the Americans fought were the astonishment of everyone , and we now became fully convinced that they are not that contemptible enemy we had hitherto imagined them , incapable of standing a regular engagement and that they would only fight behind strong and powerful works . In recognition of his contribution to the battles at Saratoga , General Arnold had his seniority restored ( he had lost it after being passed over for promotion earlier in 1777 ) . His leg wound left Arnold bedridden for five months . Later , while still unfit for field service but serving as military governor of Philadelphia , Arnold entered into treasonous correspondence with the British . He received command of the fort at West Point and plotted to hand it over to the British , only to flee into the British lines when the capture of his contact John Andre led to the exposure of the plot . Arnold went on to serve under William Phillips , the commander of Burgoyne 's right wing , in a 1781 expedition into Virginia . Although he left the direction of the battle to subordinates , General Gates received a great deal of credit as the commanding general for the greatest American victory of the war to date . He may have conspired with others to replace George Washington as the commander - in - chief . Instead , he received the command of the main American army in the South . He led it to a disastrous defeat at the 1780 Battle of Camden , where he was at the forefront of a panicked retreat . Gates never commanded troops in the field again . In response to Burgoyne 's surrender , Congress declared December 18 , 1777 , as a national day `` for solemn Thanksgiving and praise '' ; it was the nation 's first official observance of a holiday with that name . French aid Once news of Burgoyne 's surrender reached France , King Louis XVI decided to enter into negotiations with the Americans that resulted in a formal Franco - American alliance and French entry into the war . This moved the conflict onto a global stage . As a consequence , Britain was forced to divert resources used to fight the war in North America to theaters in the West Indies and Europe , and rely on what turned out to be the chimera of Loyalist support in its North American operations . Being defeated by the British in the French and Indian War more than a decade earlier , France found an opportunity of revenge by aiding the colonists throughout the Revolutionary War . Prior to the Battle of Saratoga , France did n't fully aid the colonists . However , after the Battles of Saratoga were conclusively won by the colonists , France realized that the Americans had the hope of winning the war , and began fully aiding the colonists by sending soldiers , donations , loans , military arms , and supplies . Legacy The battlefield and the site of Burgoyne 's surrender have been preserved , and are now administered by the National Park Service as the Saratoga National Historical Park , which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966 . The park preserves a number of the buildings in the area and contains a variety of monuments . The Saratoga Monument obelisk has four niches , three of which hold statues of American commanders : Gates and Schuyler and of Colonel Daniel Morgan . The fourth niche , where Arnold 's statue would go , is empty . A more dramatic memorial to Arnold 's heroism , that does not name him , is the Boot Monument . Donated by Civil War General John Watts de Peyster , it shows a boot with spurs and the stars of a major general . It stands at the spot where Arnold was shot on October 7 charging Breymann 's redoubt and is dedicated to `` the most brilliant soldier of the Continental Army '' . Six Army National Guard units ( 101st Eng Bn , 102nd Inf , 125th QM Co , 181st Inf , 182nd Inf and 192nd MP Bn ) are derived from American units that participated in the Battle of Saratoga . There are now only thirty units in the U.S. Army with lineages that go back to the colonial era . There are a number of ships named after the battles including USS Saratoga ( 1842 ) , USS Saratoga ( CV - 3 ) , and USS Saratoga ( CV - 60 ) Saratoga Monument obelisk View of the battlefield from the visitor center of Saratoga National Historic Park Benjamin Franklin honored the victory in Saratoga by commissioning and designing an Augustin Dupré medallion . It was minted in Paris in 1783 .

Dance Modern dance Originating culture Various Originating era Prehistory - Antiquity Members of a dance routine . Dance is a performing art form consisting of purposefully selected sequences of human movement . This movement has aesthetic and symbolic value , and is acknowledged as dance by performers and observers within a particular culture . Dance can be categorized and described by its choreography , by its repertoire of movements , or by its historical period or place of origin . An important distinction is to be drawn between the contexts of theatrical and participatory dance , although these two categories are not always completely separate ; both may have special functions , whether social , ceremonial , competitive , erotic , martial , or sacred / liturgical . Other forms of human movement are sometimes said to have a dance - like quality , including martial arts , gymnastics , cheerleading , figure skating , synchronized swimming , marching bands , and many other forms of athletics .

It often tells a story , perhaps using mime , costume and scenery , or else it may simply interpret the musical accompaniment , which is often specially composed . Examples are western ballet and modern dance , Classical Indian dance and Chinese and Japanese song and dance dramas . Most classical forms are centred upon dance alone , but performance dance may also appear in opera and other forms of musical theatre . Participatory dance , on the other hand , whether it be a folk dance , a social dance , a group dance such as a line , circle , chain or square dance , or a partner dance such as is common in western Western ballroom dancing , is undertaken primarily for a common purpose , such as social interaction or exercise , of participants rather than onlookers . Such dance seldom has any narrative . A group dance and a corps de ballet , a social partner dance and a pas de deux , differ profoundly . Even a solo dance may be undertaken solely for the satisfaction of the dancer . Participatory dancers often all employ the same movements and steps but , for example , in the rave culture of electronic dance music , vast crowds may engage in free dance , uncoordinated with those around them . On the other hand , some cultures lay down strict rules as to the particular dances in which , for example , men , women and children may or must participate . Origins Mesolithic dancers at Bhimbetka Archeological evidence for early dance includes 9,000 - year - old paintings in India at the Rock Shelters of Bhimbetka , and Egyptian tomb paintings depicting dancing figures , dated c. 3300 BC . It has been proposed that before the invention of written languages , dance was an important part of the oral and performance methods of passing stories down from generation to generation . The use of dance in ecstatic trance states and healing rituals ( as observed today in many contemporary `` primitive '' cultures , from the Brazilian rainforest to the Kalahari Desert ) is thought to have been another early factor in the social development of dance . Greek bronze statuette of a veiled and masked dancer , 3rd - 2nd century BC , Alexandria , Egypt . References to dance can be found in very early recorded history ; Greek dance ( horos ) is referred to by Plato , Aristotle , Plutarch and Lucian . The Bible and Talmud refer to many events related to dance , and contain over 30 different dance terms . In Chinese pottery as early as the Neolithic period , groups of people are depicted dancing in a line holding hands , and the earliest Chinese word for `` dance '' is found written in the oracle bones . Dance is further described in the Lüshi Chunqiu . Primitive dance in ancient China was associated with sorcery and shamanic rituals . During the first millennium BCE in India , many texts were composed which attempted to codify aspects of daily life . Bharata Muni 's Natyashastra ( literally `` the text of dramaturgy '' ) is one of the earlier texts . It mainly deals with drama , in which dance plays an important part in Indian culture . It categorizes dance into four types - secular , ritual , abstract , and , interpretive - and into four regional varieties . The text elaborates various hand - gestures ( mudras ) and classifies movements of the various limbs , steps and so on . A strong continuous tradition of dance has since continued in India , through to modern times , where it continues to play a role in culture , ritual , and , notably , the Bollywood entertainment industry . Many other contemporary dance forms can likewise be traced back to historical , traditional , ceremonial , and ethnic dance . Dance and music Main article : Dance music Dance is generally , though not exclusively , performed with the accompaniment of music and may or may not be performed in time to such music . Some dance ( such as tap dance ) may provide its own audible accompaniment in place of ( or in addition to ) music . Many early forms of music and dance were created for each other and are frequently performed together . Notable examples of traditional dance / music couplings include the jig , waltz , tango , disco , and salsa . Some musical genres have a parallel dance form such as baroque music and baroque dance ; other varieties of dance and music may share nomenclature but developed separately , such as classical music and classical ballet . Dance and rhythm Rhythm and dance are deeply linked in history and practice . The American dancer Ted Shawn wrote ; `` The conception of rhythm which underlies all studies of the dance is something about which we could talk forever , and still not finish . '' A musical rhythm requires two main elements ; first , a regularly - repeating pulse ( also called the `` beat '' or `` tactus '' ) that establishes the tempo and , second , a pattern of accents and rests that establishes the character of the metre or basic rhythmic pattern . The basic pulse is roughly equal in duration to a simple step or gesture . A basic tango rhythm Dances generally have a characteristic tempo and rhythmic pattern . The tango , for example , is usually danced in 2 4 time at approximately 66 beats per minute . The basic slow step , called a `` slow '' , lasts for one beat , so that a full `` right -- left '' step is equal to one 2 4 measure . The basic forward and backward walk of the dance is so counted - `` slow - slow '' - while many additional figures are counted `` slow - quick - quick . Just as musical rhythms are defined by a pattern of strong and weak beats , so repetitive body movements often depends on alternating `` strong '' and `` weak '' muscular movements . Given this alternation of left - right , of forward - backward and rise - fall , along with the bilateral symmetry of the human body , it is natural that many dances and much music are in duple and quadruple meter . However , since some such movements require more time in one phase than the other - such as the longer time required to lift a hammer than to strike - some dance rhythms fall equally naturally into triple metre . Occasionally , as in the folk dances of the Balkans , dance traditions depend heavily on more complex rhythms . Further , complex dances composed of a fixed sequence of steps always require phrases and melodies of a certain fixed length to accompany that sequence . Lululaund - The Dancing Girl ( painting and silk cloth . A.L. Baldry 1901 , before p. 107 ) , The inscription reads ; `` Dancing is a form of rhythm / Rhythm is a form of music / Music is a form of thought / And thought is a form of divinity . '' The very act of dancing , the steps themselves , generate an `` initial skeleton of rhythmic beats '' that must have preceded any separate musical accompaniment , while dance itself , as much as music , requires time - keeping just as utilitarian repetitive movements such as walking , hauling and digging take on , as they become refined , something of the quality of dance . Musical accompaniment therefore arose in the earliest dance , so that ancient Egyptians attributed the origin of the dance to the divine Athotus , who was said to have observed that music accompanying religious rituals caused participants to move rhythmically and to have brought these movements into proportional measure . The same idea , that dance arises from musical rhythm , is still found in renaissance Europe in the works of the dancing master Guglielmo Ebreo da Pesaro who speaks of dance as a physical movement that arises from and expresses inward , spiritual motion agreeing with the `` measures and perfect concords of harmony '' that fall upon the human ear , while , earlier , Mechthild of Magdeburg , seizing upon dance as a symbol of the holy life foreshadowed in Jesus ' saying `` I have piped and ye have not danced '' , writes ; I can not dance unless thou leadest . If thou wouldst have me spring aloft , sing thou and I will spring , into love and from love to knowledge and from knowledge to ecstasy above all human sense Thoinot Arbeau 's celebrated 16th century dance - treatise Orchésographie , indeed , begins with definitions of over eighty distinct drum - rhythms . Helen Moller As has been shown above , dance has been represented through the ages as having emerged as a response to music yet , as Lincoln Kirstein implied , it is at least as likely that primitive music arose from dance . Shawn concurs , stating that dance `` was the first art of the human race , and the matrix out of which all other arts grew '' and that even the `` metre in our poetry today is a result of the accents necessitated by body movement , as the dancing and reciting were performed simultaneously '' - an assertion somewhat supported by the common use of the term `` foot '' to describe the fundamental rhythmic units of poetry . Scholes , not a dancer but a musician , offers support for this view , stating that the steady measures of music , of two , three or four beats to the bar , its equal and balanced phrases , regular cadences , contrasts and repetitions , may all be attributed to the `` incalculable '' influence of dance upon music . Émile Jaques - Dalcroze , primarily a musician and teacher , relates how a study of the physical movements of pianists led him `` to the discovery that musical sensations of a rhythmic nature call for the muscular and nervous response of the whole organism '' , to develop `` a special training designed to regulate nervous reactions and effect a co-ordination of muscles and nerves '' and ultimately to seek the connections between `` the art of music and the art of dance '' , which he formulated into his system of eurhythmics . He concluded that `` musical rhythm is only the transposition into sound of movements and dynamisms spontaneously and involuntarily expressing emotion '' . Hence , though doubtless , as Shawn asserts , `` it is quite possible to develop the dance without music and ... music is perfectly capable of standing on its own feet without any assistance from the dance '' , nevertheless the `` two arts will always be related and the relationship can be profitable both to the dance and to music '' , the precedence of one art over the other being a moot point . The common ballad measures of hymns and folk - songs takes their name from dance , as does the carol , originally a circle dance . Many purely musical pieces have been named `` waltz '' or `` minuet '' , for example , while many concert dances have been produced that are based upon abstract musical pieces , such as 2 and 3 Part Inventions , Adams Violin Concerto and Andantino . Similarly , poems are often structured and named after dances or musical works , while dance and music have both drawn their conception of `` measure '' or `` metre '' from poetry . Shawn quotes with approval the statement of Dalcroze that , while the art of musical rhythm consists in differentiating and combining time durations , pauses and accents `` according to physiological law '' , that of `` plastic rhythm '' ( i.e. dance ) `` is to designate movement in space , to interpret long time - values by slow movements and short ones by quick movements , regulate pauses by their divers successions and express sound accentuations in their multiple nuances by additions of bodily weight , by means of muscular innervations '' . Shawn nevertheless points out that the system of musical time is a `` man - made , artificial thing ... a manufactured tool , whereas rhythm is something that has always existed and depends on man not at all '' , being `` the continuous flowing time which our human minds cut up into convenient units '' , suggesting that music might be revivified by a return to the values and the time - perception of dancing . The early - 20th - century American dancer Helen Moller stated simply that `` it is rhythm and form more than harmony and color which , from the beginning , has bound music , poetry and dancing together in a union that is indissoluble . '' Approaches to dance Concert dance Concert dance , like opera , generally depends for its large - scale form upon a narrative dramatic structure . The movements and gestures of the choreography are primarily intended to mime the personality and aims of the characters and their part in the plot . Such theatrical requirements tend towards longer , freer movements than those usual in non-narrative dance styles . On the other hand , the ballet blanc , developed in the 19th century , allows interludes of rhythmic dance that developed into entirely `` plotless '' ballets in the 20th century and that allowed fast , rhythmic dance - steps such as those of the petit allegro . A well - known example is The Cygnets ' Dance in act two of Swan Lake . The ballet developed out of courtly dramatic productions of 16th - and 17th - century France and Italy and for some time dancers performed dances developed from those familiar from the musical suite , all of which were defined by definite rhythms closely identified with each dance . These appeared as character dances in the era of romantic nationalism . Ballet reached widespread vogue in the romantic era , accompanied by a larger orchestra and grander musical conceptions that did not lend themselves easily to rhythmic clarity and by dance that emphasised dramatic mime . A broader concept of rhythm was needed , that which Rudolf Laban terms the `` rhythm and shape '' of movement that communicates character , emotion and intention , while only certain scenes required the exact synchronisation of step and music essential to other dance styles , so that , to Laban , modern Europeans seemed totally unable to grasp the meaning of `` primitive rhythmic movements '' , a situation that began to change in the 20th century with such productions as Igor Stravinsky 's The Rite of Spring with its new rhythmic language evoking primal feelings of a primitive past . Indian classical dance styles , like ballet , are often in dramatic form , so that there is a similar complementarity between narrative expression and `` pure '' dance . In this case , however , the two are separately defined , though not always separately performed . The rhythmic elements , which are abstract and technical , are known as nritta . Both this and expressive dance ( nritya ) , though , are closely tied to the rhythmic system ( tala ) . Teachers have adapted the spoken rhythmic mnemonic system called bol to the needs of dancers . Japanese classical dance - theatre styles such as Kabuki and Noh , like Indian dance - drama , distinguish between narrative and abstract dance productions . The three main categories of kabuki are jidaimono ( historical ) , sewamono ( domestic ) and shosagoto ( dance pieces ) . Somewhat similarly , Noh distinguishes between Geki Noh , based around the advancement of plot and the narration of action , and Furyū Noh , dance pieces involving acrobatics , stage properties , multiple characters and elaborate stage action . Participatory and social dance Social dances , those intended for participation rather than for an audience , may include various forms of mime and narrative , but are typically set much more closely to the rhythmic pattern of music , so that terms like waltz and polka refer as much to musical pieces as to the dance itself . The rhythm of the dancers ' feet may even form an essential part of the music , as in tap dance . African dance , for example , is rooted in fixed basic steps , but may also allow a high degree of rhythmic interpretation : the feet or the trunk mark the basic pulse while cross-rhythms are picked up by shoulders , knees , or head , with the best dancers simultaneously giving plastic expression to all the elements of the polyrhythmic pattern . Cultural traditions Africa Play media `` Kuduro '' ( Angolan dance ) Ugandan youth dance at a cultural celebration of peace Main article : African dance Dance in Africa is deeply integrated into society and major events in a community are frequently reflected in dances : dances are performed for births and funerals , weddings and wars . Traditional dances impart cultural morals , including religious traditions and sexual standards ; give vent to repressed emotions , such as grief ; motivate community members to cooperate , whether fighting wars or grinding grain ; enact spiritual rituals ; and contribute to social cohesiveness . Thousands of dances are performed around the continent . These may be divided into traditional , neotraditional , and classical styles : folkloric dances of a particular society , dances created more recently in imitation of traditional styles , and dances transmitted more formally in schools or private lessons . African dance has been altered by many forces , such as European missionaries and colonialist governments , who often suppressed local dance traditions as licentious or distracting . Dance in contemporary African cultures still serves its traditional functions in new contexts ; dance may celebrate the inauguration of a hospital , build community for rural migrants in unfamiliar cities , and be incorporated into Christian church ceremonies . An Indian classical dancer Asia All Indian classical dances are to varying degrees rooted in the Natyashastra and therefore share common features : for example , the mudras ( hand positions ) , some body positions , and the inclusion of dramatic or expressive acting or abhinaya . Indian classical music provides accompaniment and dancers of nearly all the styles wear bells around their ankles to counterpoint and complement the percussion . There are now many regional varieties of Indian classical dance . Dances like `` Odra Magadhi '' , which after decades long debate , has been traced to present day Mithila , Odisha region 's dance form of Odissi ( Orissi ) , indicate influence of dances in cultural interactions between different regions . The Punjab area overlapping India and Pakistan is the place of origin of Bhangra . It is widely known both as a style of music and a dance . It is mostly related to ancient harvest celebrations , love , patriotism or social issues . Its music is coordinated by a musical instrument called the ' Dhol ' . Bhangra is not just music but a dance , a celebration of the harvest where people beat the dhol ( drum ) , sing Boliyaan ( lyrics ) and dance . It developed further with the Vaisakhi festival of the Sikhs . The dances of Sri Lanka include the devil dances ( yakun natima ) , a carefully crafted ritual reaching far back into Sri Lanka 's pre-Buddhist past that combines ancient `` Ayurvedic '' concepts of disease causation with psychological manipulation and combines many aspects including Sinhalese cosmology . Their influence can be seen on the classical dances of Sri Lanka . Two classical ballet dancers perform a sequence of The Nutcracker , one of the best known works of classical dance The dances of the Middle East are usually the traditional forms of circle dancing which are modernized to an extent . They would include dabke , tamzara , Assyrian folk dance , Kurdish dance , Armenian dance and Turkish dance , among others . All these forms of dances would usually involve participants engaging each other by holding hands or arms ( depending on the style of the dance ) . They would make rhythmic moves with their legs and shoulders as they curve around the dance floor . The head of the dance would generally hold a cane or handkerchief . Europe and north America Main article : Concert dance Folk dances vary across Europe and may date back hundreds or thousands of years , but many have features in common such as group participation led by a caller , hand - holding or arm - linking between participants , and fixed musical forms known as caroles . Some , such as the maypole dance are common to many nations , while others such as the céilidh and the polka are deeply - rooted in a single culture . Some European folk dances such as the square dance were brought to the New World and subsequently became part of American culture . Ballet developed first in Italy and then in France from lavish court spectacles that combined music , drama , poetry , song , costumes and dance . Members of the court nobility took part as performers . During the reign of Louis XIV , himself a dancer , dance became more codified . Professional dancers began to take the place of court amateurs , and ballet masters were licensed by the French government . The first ballet dance academy was the Académie Royale de Danse ( Royal Dance Academy ) , opened in Paris in 1661 . Shortly thereafter , the first institutionalized ballet troupe , associated with the Academy , was formed ; this troupe began as an all - male ensemble but by 1681 opened to include women as well . 20th century concert dance brought an explosion of innovation in dance style characterized by an exploration of freer technique . Early pioneers of what became known as modern dance include Loie Fuller , Isadora Duncan , Mary Wigman and Ruth St. Denis . The relationship of music to dance serves as the basis for Eurhythmics , devised by Emile Jaques - Dalcroze , which was influential to the development of Modern dance and modern ballet through artists such as Marie Rambert . Eurythmy , developed by Rudolf Steiner and Marie Steiner - von Sivers , combines formal elements reminiscent of traditional dance with the new freer style , and introduced a complex new vocabulary to dance . In the 1920s , important founders of the new style such as Martha Graham and Doris Humphrey began their work . Since this time , a wide variety of dance styles have been developed ; see Modern dance . Street samba dancers perform in carnival parades and contests African American dance developed in everyday spaces , rather than in dance studios , schools or companies . Tap dance , disco , jazz dance , swing dance , hip hop dance , the lindy hop with its relationship to rock and roll music and rock and roll dance have had a global influence . Dance styles fusing classical ballet technique with African - American dance have also appeared in the 21st century , including Hiplet . Latin America Dance is central to Latin American social life and culture . Brazilian Samba , Argentinian tango , and Cuban salsa are internationally popular partner dances , and other national dances -- merengue , cueca , plena , jarabe , joropo , marinera , cumbia , and others -- are important components of their respective countries ' cultures . Traditional Carnival festivals incorporate these and other dances in enormous celebrations . Dance has played an important role in forging a collective identity among the many cultural and ethnic groups of Latin America . Dance served to unite the many African , European , and indigenous peoples of the region . Certain dance genres , such as capoeira , and body movements , especially the characteristic quebrada or pelvis swing , have been variously banned and celebrated throughout Latin American history . United states Hip Hop originated in New York , specifically in the area known as the Bronx . It was created for those who struggled in society and did n't seem to have a voice in the community that surrounded them because of their lack of wealth . It helped those in the same situation come together and speak about difficult topics by using movement and feeling . Dance education Dance studies are offered through the arts and humanities programs of many higher education institutions . Some universities offer Bachelor of Arts and higher academic degrees in Dance . A dance study curriculum may encompass a diverse range of courses and topics , including dance practice and performance , choreography , ethnochoreology , kinesiology , dance notation , and dance therapy . A dancer practices in a dance studio , the primary setting for training in classical dance and many other styles Occupations Main article : List of dance occupations Professional dancers are usually employed on contract or for particular performances or productions . The professional life of a dancer is generally one of constantly changing work situations , strong competitive pressure and low pay . Consequently , professional dancers often must supplement their incomes to achieve financial stability . In the U.S. many professional dancers belong to unions ( such as the American Guild of Musical Artists , Screen Actors Guild and Actors ' Equity Association ) that establish working conditions and minimum salaries for their members . Professional dancers must possess large amounts of athleticism . To lead a successful career , it is advantageous to be versatile in many styles of dance , have a strong technical background and to utilize other forms of physical training to remain fit and healthy . Dance teachers typically focus on teaching dance performance , or coaching competitive dancers , or both . They typically have performance experience in the types of dance they teach or coach . For example , dancesport teachers and coaches are often tournament dancers or former dancesport performers . Dance teachers may be self - employed , or employed by dance schools or general education institutions with dance programs . Some work for university programs or other schools that are associated with professional classical dance ( e.g. , ballet ) or modern dance companies . Others are employed by smaller , privately owned dance schools that offer dance training and performance coaching for various types of dance . Choreographers are often university trained and are typically employed for particular projects or , more rarely may work on contract as the resident choreographer for a specific dance company . Competitions An amateur dancesport competition , featuring the Viennese Waltz A dance competition is an organized event in which contestants perform dances before a judge or judges for awards , and in some cases , monetary prizes . There are several major types of dance competitions , distinguished primarily by the style or styles of dances performed . Major types of dance competitions include : Competitive dance , in which a variety of theater dance styles , such as acro , ballet , jazz , hip - hop , lyrical , and tap , are permitted . Open competitions , that permit a wide variety of dance styles . An example of this is the TV program So You Think You Can Dance . Dancesport , which is focused exclusively on ballroom and latin dance . Examples of this are TV programs Dancing with the Stars and Strictly Come Dancing . Single - style competitions , such as ; highland dance , dance team , and Irish dance , that only permit a single dance style . In addition , there are numerous dance competitions shows presented on television and other mass media .

This definition is based on the following : `` Dance is human movement created and expressed for an aesthetic purpose . '' `` Dance is a transient mode of expression performed in a given form and style by the human body moving in space . Dance occurs through purposefully selected and controlled rhythmic movements ; the resulting phenomenon is recognized as dance both by the performer and the observing members of a given group . '' `` Dance is human behaviour composed ( from the dancer 's perspective , which is usually shared by the audience members of the dancer 's culture ) of purposeful ( individual choice and social learning play a role ) , intentionally rhythmical , and culturally patterned sequences of nonverbal body movement mostly other than those performed in ordinary motor activities . The motion ( in time , space , and with effort ) has an inherent and aesthetic value ( the notion of appropriateness and competency as viewed by the dancer 's culture ) and symbolic potential .

Penn State won 9 -- 0 , which was nine goals to none . At the time , this was really a game of `` American rugby . '' The father of American football , Walter Camp , did not develop the `` scrimmage '' , the `` first down '' and the `` gridiron '' ( yard markings ) until 1882 . Although this game was reported in two State College newspapers and the Mirror ( University of Lewisburg campus newspaper ) , Bucknell denies that this game ever happened . Penn State did not field teams from 1882 through 1886 . Penn State played its first season in 1887 , but had no head coach for their first five years , from 1887 -- 1891 . The teams played its home games on the Old Main lawn on campus in State College , Pennsylvania . They compiled a 12 -- 8 -- 1 record in these seasons , playing as an independent from 1887 -- 1890 . In 1891 , the Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Football Association ( PIFA ) was formed . It consisted of Bucknell ( University of Lewisburg ) , Dickinson , Franklin & Marshall , Haverford , Penn State and Swarthmore . Lafayette and Lehigh were excluded because it was felt they would dominate the Association . Penn State won the championship with a 4 -- 1 -- 0 record . Bucknell 's record was 3 -- 1 -- 1 ( losing to Franklin & Marshall and tying Dickinson ) . The Association was dissolved prior to the 1892 season . In 1894 , the Penn State football team played the Muncy , Pennsylvania high school team . Penn State took an early 24 - 0 lead , whereupon Muncy was allowed 14 players rather than the usual 11 . That helped , but at half time the score was 42 - 0 . Muncy was then granted 7 downs instead of four . With 14 players , 7 downs , and Penn State letting its youngest players finish out the game , the final score was only 54 - 0 . George Hoskins , Penn State 's first head football coach George W. Hoskins was the first head football coach at Penn State . He posted a 17 -- 4 -- 4 record in his four seasons from 1892 -- 1895 as head coach , and his . 760 winning percentage ranks highest in program history . His first team played its home game on the Old Main lawn on campus in State College , Pennsylvania , before the 500 - seat Beaver Field opened in 1893 . He was succeeded by Samuel B. Newton , who posted a 12 -- 14 (. 462 ) record in three seasons , 1896 -- 1898 . Sam Boyle coached for only one year in 1899 and compiled a 4 -- 6 -- 1 record (. 409 ) . Pop Golden coached the Nittany Lions for three seasons from 1900 -- 1902 , tallying a record of 16 -- 12 -- 1 (. 569 ) . Daniel A. Reed took over for the 1903 season and went 5 -- 3 (. 625 ) . Tom Fennell coached the Nittany Lions for five seasons from 1904 -- 1908 , posting a 33 -- 17 -- 1 (. 657 ) record . In 1907 the school adopted the Nittany Lion mascot , a mountain lion named after nearby Mount Nittany . An early mascot was `` Old Coaly '' , a mule that hauled stone for the original Old Main ( completed in 1863 and demolished in 1929 ) . Bill Hollenback took over the Nittany Lions as head coach for the 1909 season and went undefeated at 5 -- 0 -- 2 , but left for Missouri for 1910 . Bill 's older brother Jack Hollenback took over for the 1910 season and went 5 -- 2 -- 1 (. 688 ) , but Bill returned to Penn State for 1911 -- 1914 . Bill went 23 -- 9 -- 2 in his second tenure for a combined record of 28 -- 9 -- 4 (. 732 ) . In 1911 and 1912 , his teams went 8 -- 0 -- 1 and 8 -- 0 and were awarded retroactive national championships by the National Championship Foundation which are recognized by the NCAA . Head coach Dick Harlow brought a new form of defense , trying to go in - between or around offensive blockers rather than try to overpower them . Harlow 's Nittany Lions compiled a 20 -- 8 (. 714 ) record in his three seasons ( 1915 -- 1917 ) and was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach for his accomplishments . Hugo Bezdek years ( 1918 -- 1929 ) ( edit ) Hugo Bezdek was Penn State 's head football coach for 12 seasons and was the Nittany Lions ' first athletics director . Bezdek posted a 65 -- 30 -- 11 record , which included two undefeated seasons and a berth in the 1922 Rose Bowl , a game they lost . Bezdek 's Nittany Lions posted a losing record in only two of Bezdek 's seasons , going 1 -- 2 -- 1 in 1918 and 3 -- 5 -- 1 in 1928 . Bezdek retired after the 1929 season and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1954 . Bob Higgins years ( 1930 -- 1948 ) ( edit ) Bob Higgins returned to his alma mater and served as Penn State 's head football coach for 19 seasons . He compiled a 91 -- 57 -- 11 overall record , which included 11 winning seasons and only five losing seasons . Higgins ' 1947 team tied SMU in the Cotton Bowl . Higgins was forced to retire due to poor health following the 1948 season . He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1954 . Joe Bedenk ( 1949 ) ( edit ) For one season , Joe Bedenk , also a Penn State alum , served as the Nittany Lions ' head football coach . He was promoted from offensive line coach after the retirement of his predecessor . Bedenk posted a 5 -- 4 record in his 1949 , his lone season as head coach , before requesting to return to his previous post as offensive line coach . Rip Engle years ( 1950 -- 1965 ) ( edit ) Rip Engle came to Penn State from Brown . Engle posted a 104 -- 48 -- 4 record during his 16 season tenure as head coach and developed a game known as Angleball as a way for his players to maintain fitness in the off - season . Engle never had a losing season at Penn State , and his 5 -- 5 final season was his only non-winning season . His 1959 and 1960 Nittany Lions teams won the Liberty Bowl , while his 1961 and 1962 teams reached the Gator Bowl , winning the first and losing the second . Engle retired following the 1965 season and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1973 . Joe Paterno Era ( 1966 -- 2011 ) ( edit ) Joe Paterno Penn State assistant Joe Paterno was promoted to head coach following the retirement of Engle . Paterno spent 46 seasons as the head football coach , the longest tenure of any head coach in the FBS , and 16 more seasons as an assistant , making his 62 total years coaching at Penn State the most of any coach at any school . Under Paterno , Penn State played as an Independent from 1966 -- 1992 , and he continued to coach them when they joined the Big Ten Conference in 1993 -- 2011 . He also served as Penn State 's athletic director from 1980 -- 1982 . His final record is 409 -- 136 -- 3 . His teams won national championships in 1982 and 1986 , posted non-losing records in all seasons but five , and appeared in 37 bowl games with 24 wins . His teams also won the Orange Bowl in 1968 , 1969 , 1973 and 2005 ; the Fiesta Bowl in 1977 , 1980 , 1981 , 1986 , 1991 and 1996 ; the Sugar Bowl in 1982 ; and the Rose Bowl in 1994 . In June 1990 , Penn State 's athletics program , after a century as a Division I-A independent , joined the Big Ten Conference . Beaver Stadium was expanded six times during Paterno 's tenure . He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2006 and was a major reason why the longtime rule of waiting until retirement to be inducted into the Hall of Fame was changed to any coach over 75 years of age . Players including Kerry Collins , Charlie Zapiec , Matt Millen , Shane Conlan , Jack Ham , Dennis Onkotz , Franco Harris , Greg Buttle , Keith Dorney , John Cappelletti , Curt Warner , Larry Johnson , LaVar Arrington and Ted Kwalick played collegiately for him . He won numerous coaching and sportsman honors during his long run at Penn State . Paterno has the most wins in FBS football and in college sports ( 409 ) . As a result of the Penn State child sex abuse scandal involving longtime assistant Jerry Sandusky , Paterno was fired in November 2011 , and all of the team 's wins from 1998 -- 2011 were forfeited . Paterno 's statue outside Beaver Stadium was also taken down . Defensive coordinator Tom Bradley finished out the 2011 season as interim head coach after Paterno 's ouster . The lost wins dropped Paterno from first to twelfth on the all - time wins list , but on January 16 , 2015 , the NCAA restored Paterno 's vacated wins , again making him the winningest FBS football coach . Bill O'Brien ( 2012 -- 2013 ) ( edit ) Bill O'Brien New England Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien was hired as the 15th head football coach at Penn State , taking over the scandal - ridden Nittany Lions football program in January 2012 . Early in O'Brien's tenure , the NCAA sanctioned Penn State with a four - season postseason ban and a loss of 40 scholarships due to the child sex abuse scandal . O'Brien posted an 8 -- 4 record in his first season as head coach of the Nittany Lions , a much better record than most anticipated . O'Brien's 2013 Nittany Lions team posted a 7 -- 5 record in the second of four years they were ineligible for the postseason . In January 2014 , Bill O'Brien left Penn State to accept the head coaching position with the NFL 's Houston Texans . James Franklin ( 2014 -- present ) ( edit ) On January 11 , 2014 , Vanderbilt head coach James Franklin was hired as the 16th Penn State head football coach . He is the first African American head football coach at Penn State . In Franklin 's first year , the NCAA lifted Penn State 's postseason ban and the Nittany Lions were bowl eligible . The Nittany Lions were named to the Pinstripe Bowl where they won against the Boston College Eagles on December 27 , 2014 at Yankee Stadium . To start off the 2015 season , Penn State lost to Temple 27 - 10 , its first loss to the Owls since 1941 . The loss was followed by victories against Buffalo , Rutgers , San Diego State , Army and Indiana . The Nittany Lions then lost to Ohio State 38 - 10 in Columbus before winning , 31 - 30 , at Maryland . The victory against Maryland brought the Nittany Lions to six wins , making them bowl eligible for the second year since the postseason ban was lifted . Penn State then shut out the Illinois Fighting Illini 39 - 0 in the second to last home game of the 2015 season . They then lost to Michigan in Happy Valley 28 - 16 and to Michigan State 55 - 16 at MSU . The win - loss record for Penn State in the 2015 regular season was 7 - 5 , and 7 - 6 after a loss to Georgia in the Taxslayer Bowl in Jacksonville . The 2016 season included an upset over # 2 Ohio State during a `` White - Out '' in State College . Following the win , Penn State was ranked 24th in the AP Poll , its first ranking since 2011 . Penn State finished the regular season 10 - 2 , 8 - 1 in Big Ten play . After winning a tiebreaker against rivals Ohio State , Penn State went on to claim the Big Ten East title and a spot in the Big Ten Championship game in Indianapolis against Big Ten West champion Wisconsin , which they won after trailing 28 - 14 in the first half . They outscored the Badgers 24 - 3 in the second half to take home the Nittany Lions ' fourth Big Ten Title . Head coaches ( edit ) Coach Years Seasons Record Pct . Cnf . Record Pct . Cnf .

Each week before a home game , students camp out in front of the stadium in order to hold their positions in line for front - row seats . Football players , the Blue Band , local food vendors and even the coaching staff frequently visit Nittanyville , pepping up the students as game days draw near . Nittanyville is governed by the student - run Nittanyville Coordination Committee . The tradition was established during the 2005 football season , when students began setting up tents and `` camping '' in front of Beaver Stadium one week before the game with rival school Ohio State on October 8 . Success with Honor ( edit ) Joe Paterno was widely known for his `` grand experiment '' in which he challenged his players to be successful both on the field and in the classroom . In 2011 , the Nittany Lion football team posted an 87 % graduation rate , tied with Stanford for No. 10 overall among the nation 's 120 Football Bowl Subdivision ( FBS ) institutions , above the national average of 67 % . The June 2012 conviction of former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky on multiple counts of child sexual abuse marred the `` Success with Honor '' image . President Rodney Erickson , athletics director Dave Joyner , and head football coach Bill O'Brien , all of whom accepted their jobs in the wake of the scandal , have made statements in which they express commitment to maintaining integrity at the university and within the athletics programs . In 2012 , a group of alumni and supporters established a non-profit organization ( 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) and registered trademark ) that will build upon the `` Success with Honor '' motto . Their mission is to promote and support charitable endeavors as well as to inspire others to `` Get in the Game . '' Success with Honor is a Social Network Community that has identified more than 60 + charities . Success with Honor helps individuals to identify and connect with causes they 'd like to volunteer their skills , time , and / or money to . Similarly , SWH assists charities in finding individuals to meet their current needs . The Nittany Lions playing against the Virginia Cavaliers in 2012 at Scott Stadium : note the simple uniforms of the Nittany Lions during their away games . Uniform ( edit ) The team is widely noted for their simple game uniforms . They only wear white pants , and the jerseys are simple blue for home games , and white for away games . The team is only allowed to wear simple black Nike shoes with white calf socks for game days , though blue tights are permitted underneath the white socks for cold weather games . The helmet is white with a blue stripe down the center , and a blue on white `` Penn State '' sticker covers up the forehead helmet logo . No team logos , conference logos , numbers , or other stickers are permitted on the helmet , though two Nike logos are on facemask visors that some players choose to wear . Penn State has started to wear bowl decals only starting with 1997 Fiesta Bowl . Before that , Penn State always declined the decals so they can play out of their simple game uniforms . The blue and white uniforms replaced pink and black ones in 1890 . The uniforms became even simpler for the 2011 season , as the white cuffs and collars on the home jerseys and the corresponding blue cuffs and collars on the road jerseys were eliminated , leaving the jerseys solid blue and white , respectively . In 2012 Penn State started wearing names on their uniforms for the first time as a way to note the players who stuck with the school through the scandal and a blue ribbon in support the victims of child abuse . In 2013 , the Nittany Lion logo was added to the base of the jersey collar along with the Big Ten logo on the right side of the jersey . Starting in 2015 , the names that were added throughout the 2012 -- 14 seasons to honor those who stayed with the program were removed and the team reverted to the traditional nameless jerseys while still retaining the Nittany Lion logo at the base of the jersey collar . The team also began sporting new Nike Elite 51 jerseys which feature a new design on the collars . In addition , the team added the words Nittany Lions onto the back of the football helmets . Captains ( edit ) Captains are chosen by the team , with the head coach 's approval . Being named a captain is an honor almost always given to a senior , but there are some notable exceptions : Linebacker Sean Lee was named a captain in the beginning of Spring practice in 2008 , the beginning of his 4th year with the team . However , he suffered a torn ACL during spring practice , redshirted in 2008 , and returned as a captain again in 2009 . The most recent example of a `` true '' junior being named was Paul Posluszny , who was named a captain in both 2005 and 2006 , his junior and senior years , respectively . The last time a junior was named captain before Posluszny was in 1968 , when Steve Smear and Mike Reid were named captains during their junior years . In 2014 , Christian Hackenberg became the first true sophomore to be named team captain . Linebacker U ( edit ) Penn State is often referred to as Linebacker U for its reputation of producing outstanding linebackers . Dennis Onkotz was a two - time All American in 1968 and 1969 and played on two undefeated teams . Jack Ham finished his career with 251 tackles , blocked two punts and went on to play on two undefeated teams . Ham later went on to the NFL , playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers , and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame . Charlie Zapiec a fourth round draft pick of the Dallas Cowboys , went on to star in the Canadian Football League as a linebacker with the Montreal Alouettes coached by future NFL Legend Marv Levy . Zapiec switched from offensive guard in his senior year and also received All - American honors ; in the two years he started as a guard and the one year as a linebacker , he accumulated 34 wins , including three major bowl victories , while suffering only one loss , the best record for a starter at Penn State . Edward William O'Neil , an American football coach and former professional linebacker , played seven seasons in the National Football League ( NFL ) . From 1970 -- 1973 , he played linebacker at Penn State . A three - year letterman , he was team captain of the Nittany Lions ' undefeated 1973 team and was named an All - American that same season . Greg Buttle was a linebacker during the 1973 -- 1975 seasons , finishing with 305 tackles in his junior and senior year . He was drafted by the New York Jets and is a part of the All Jet team . Shane Conlan was a two - time All - American and defensive MVP of the 1987 National Championship Fiesta Bowl . He was drafted No. 1 by the Bills in 1987 , named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year and was named to three straight Pro Bowls ( 1988 -- 90 ) . Lavar Arrington finished with 319 career tackles and 139 tackles for losses . He was later drafted second overall by the Washington Redskins . Cameron Wake ( Known as Derek Wake when at Penn State ) went on to capture MVP honors for the British Columbia Lions in the Canadian Football League before moving on to the Miami Dolphins and leading the National Football League in sacks during the 2010 season . Tamba Hali was the 20th overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft and led the AFC in sacks during the 2010 NFL season , helping the Kansas City Chiefs reach the playoffs . He played defensive end during his college career . Paul Posluszny played from 2003 -- 2006 . Posluszny won the Dick Butkus Award in 2005 and the Chuck Bednarik Award in 2005 and 2006 . He finished with 372 tackles and was drafted by the Buffalo Bills . Currently playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars . Dan Connor finished his career as the all - time leading tackler for Penn State with 419 and was drafted by the Carolina Panthers . Sean Lee graduated from Penn State in 2009 and is an inside linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys . NaVorro Bowman , drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the third round of the 2010 draft , ranked seventh in the league in tackles in 2011 and was named an AP first team All - Pro for his 2011 campaign . Bowman currently play for the Oakland Raiders . Michael Mauti and Gerald Hodges were `` Co-Linebacker U '' in 2012 , both achieved over 95 tackles and both were drafted by the Minnesota Vikings . Both players now play for Mauti 's hometown team New Orleans Saints . 2011 child sex abuse scandal ( edit ) Main article : Penn State child sex abuse scandal The Penn State child sex abuse scandal centered on then retired Pennsylvania State University football assistant coach Jerry Sandusky 's sexual assault of two underage boys on or near university property . After an extensive grand jury investigation , Sandusky was indicted on 52 counts of child molestation dating from 1994 to 2009 , though some speculate the abuse may date as far back as the 1970s . The trial of Jerry Sandusky on 52 charges of sexual crimes against children started on June 11 , 2012 , at the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte , Pennsylvania and ended on the evening of June 22 , 2012 , when the jury found Sandusky guilty on 45 of the 48 counts against him . Several high - level school officials were charged with perjury , suspended , or dismissed for allegedly covering up the incidents or failing to notify authorities . In the wake of the scandal , school president Graham Spanier was forced to resign , and head football coach Joe Paterno was fired without cause late in the season , while Sandusky maintained his innocence . Former FBI director Louis Freeh , whose firm was hired by the Penn State Board of Trustees to conduct an independent investigation into the scandal , concluded , after , ostensibly , conducting over 400 interviews and reviewing over 3.5 million documents , that Paterno , Spanier , Curley and Schultz had `` repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky 's child abuse from the authorities , the Board of Trustees , Penn State community , and the public at large . '' In an interview conducted by Showtime 's 60 Minutes Sports , the former Chief Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania , Frank Fina , who investigated and prosecuted Jerry Sandusky , stated that he found no evidence that Joe Paterno participated in a cover - up . On July 23 , 2012 , NCAA announced that it had fined the Penn State football program $60 million , levied a four - year ban from bowl games and vacated all of the program 's 112 wins from 1998 to 2011 . They were originally scheduled to lose 10 scholarships from the incoming classes in 2013 , 2014 , 2015 and 2016 , which would have been a loss of 40 total scholarships . They were set to have a maximum of 75 players on scholarship in 2013 , then be down to 65 total scholarships for 2014 , 2015 and 2016 , before increasing back up to 75 in 2017 and return to a full allotment of 85 scholarships for the 2018 season . However , on September 24 , 2013 , the NCAA announced they were restoring 25 of the 40 scholarships to Penn State . After losing 10 scholarships from the 2013 -- 2014 incoming class ( they only brought in 15 players instead of the normal 25 ) and only having 75 total players on scholarship , Penn State will have five scholarships added back for 2014 -- 15 , so they can bring in 20 new players and have 80 total players on scholarship . They will be back up to the full complement of 25 new players and 85 total scholarships restocked for 2016 -- 17 , two years ahead of schedule . So in total they will have only lost 15 scholarships , compared to the original penalty of 40 scholarships . The decision to return the scholarships was the result of a unanimous decision of the executive committee of the NCAA following a recommendation from the former US Sen. George Mitchell . The NCAA had appointed Mitchell to monitor the progress of Penn State and adopting recommended reforms to enhance their `` security , ethics , governance and compliance structure '' . The decision to accept the recommendation was based upon the belief that the restored scholarships would provide benefits to student - athletes . Several lawsuits were filed against NCAA related to the levy of penalties . In September 2014 the NCAA , under the auspices of favorable reports from Mitchell , announced that Penn State would be eligible for the 2014 postseason and all scholarships restored in 2015 . The team 's wins and records that had previously been vacated due to the scandal were restored , pending full approval , as part of a legal settlement in January 2015 .

The first game was in 1904 when Penn state won that game 34 - 0 . This series has been dominated by the Nittany Lions while leading the series 48 - 9 - 2 . The two teams announced on September 19 , 2013 that a home and home series has been scheduled for 2023 and 2024 . Syracuse ( edit ) The Penn State - Syracuse football rivalry started in 1922 , when Syracuse fought Penn State to a 0 -- 0 tie . But it was during the 1950s and 1960s that the rivalry intensified , as it enjoyed a competitive and often controversial string of contests . Syracuse football was led by Ben Schwartzwalder , and Penn State by Rip Engle , then Joe Paterno . From 1950 to 1970 , Syracuse won 11 games to Penn State 's 10 . Penn State leads the series 43 -- 23 -- 5 . After Schwartzwalder retired in 1973 , Syracuse floundered . Penn State won 16 straight from 1971 to 1986 . Conference realignment and scheduling disagreements also dampened the intensity of the rivalry . Penn State fans and players increasingly turned their attention to the rivalry with Pittsburgh . In 1987 , Coach Dick MacPherson finally led Syracuse to a resounding 48 -- 21 victory over the Nittany Lions in the Dome . Syracuse won again the following year in Happy Valley but lost the last two games before the series was suspended in 1991 . The rivalry has since been renewed three times since the series suspension - in 2008 , 2009 , and 2013 . The Nittany Lions won all three of these contests . Alabama ( edit ) Lesser known is the Alabama - Penn state football rivalry Though the Crimson Tide are not as much of a traditional opponent for the Nittany Lions as much as many of the teams listed above , the two teams are still often considered among the best in the country , claim a combined 18 national titles , and have met in a bowl game three times . The series began on December 19 , 1959 in that year 's edition of the Liberty Bowl , a 7 - 0 win for # 12 Penn State . Sixteen years later , the Nittany Lions and Crimson Tide met in the 1975 Sugar Bowl , resulting in a 13 - 6 Tide victory in New Orleans . Perhaps the most notable game between these two teams came four years later , in a 1979 Sugar Bowl rematch , resulting in another Alabama victory . The rivalry was intensified during the 1980s , when the Lions and Tide met in 10 consecutive seasons , all during regular season play . After this time , the rivalry went dormant for two decades before being renewed for a 2 - game home - and - home series in 2010 and 2011 . In all , Alabama leads the series , 10 -- 5 . Maryland ( edit ) Penn State and Maryland met in briefly interrupted stretches between 1917 and 1993 , with a near - consecutive run played all but three years ( 1976 , 1981 , and 1983 ) between 1960 and 1993 . However , the one - sided record belies what was often a competitive match - up until its final years . While Maryland only compiled one win and one tie , numerous games were narrowly lost by missed field goals and turnovers . In 1975 , a field goal attempt by kicker Mike Sochko hit the upright with under a minute left , and Maryland lost 15 -- 13 . Ten years later , the Terps missed three field goals to eventually lose 20 -- 18 . After the Nittany Lions ' move to the Big Ten Conference in 1993 , the series was cancelled . However , Maryland ended up joining the Big Ten as well , in 2014 , reinstating the rivalry after more than 2 decades of being dormant . They are scheduled to play annually as part of the conference schedule . Aside from the painful memories for Maryland , both schools compete aggressively for recruits in the Baltimore -- Washington metropolitan area and Delaware Valley .

Electric cars charging on street in Rome in 2016 . An electric car is an automobile that is propelled by one or more electric motors , using energy stored in rechargeable batteries . The first practical electric cars were produced in the 1880s . Electric cars were popular in the late 19th century and early 20th century , until advances in internal combustion engines , electric starters in particular , and mass production of cheaper gasoline vehicles led to a decline in the use of electric drive vehicles . In 1897 , electric cars found their first commercial use in the USA . New York City taxis were electric , and they were manufactured by the Philadelphian Electric Carriage and Wagon company . During the 20th century , the main manufacturers of electric vehicles in the US were Anthony Electric , Baker , Columbia , Anderson , Edison , Riker , Milburn and others . Unlike gasoline - powered vehicles , the electric ones were quieter and did not require gear changes . Since 2008 , a renaissance in electric vehicle manufacturing occurred due to advances in batteries , concerns about increasing oil prices , and the desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions . Several national and local governments have established tax credits , subsidies , and other incentives to promote the introduction and now adoption in the mass market of new electric vehicles depending on battery size and their all - electric range . The current tax credit allowed by the US Government is between $2,500 - $7,500 per car . Compared with cars with internal combustion ( IC ) engines , electric cars are quieter and have no tailpipe emissions . When recharged by low - emission electrical power sources , electric vehicles can reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to IC engines . Where oil is imported , use of electric vehicles can reduce imports . However , a proper analysis of the overall benefit / efficiency of an electric vehicle must include what type of source was used to charge the battery , the energy required to make the battery , and the energy expended in disposing of it , in an environmentally sound manner . Recharging can take up to an hour , however this amount of time is being reduced as the technology improves . A major limiting factor is that currently there is inadequate recharging infrastructure . Battery cost limits range and increases purchase cost over IC vehicles , but battery costs are decreasing . Drivers can also sometimes suffer from range anxiety - the fear that the batteries will be depleted before reaching their destination. . In many respects , especially because of range , charging time , and inavailability of charging infrastructure ) , people who own electric vehicles own them as a second vehicle , with gas powered vehicles being their primary mode of transportation . As technology improves this will change . As of December 2015 , there were over 30 models of highway legal all - electric passenger cars and utility vans available . Cumulative global sales of highway - capable light - duty pure electric vehicles passed one million units in total , globally , in September 2016 .

Electric cars are a variety of electric vehicle ( EV ) . The term `` electric vehicle '' refers to any vehicle that uses electric motors for propulsion , while `` electric car '' generally refers to highway - capable automobiles powered by electricity . Low - speed electric vehicles , classified as neighborhood electric vehicles ( NEVs ) in the United States , and as electric motorised quadricycles in Europe , are plug - in electric - powered microcars or city cars with limitations in terms of weight , power and maximum speed that are allowed to travel on public roads and city streets up to a certain posted speed limit , which varies by country . While an electric car 's power source is not explicitly an on - board battery , electric cars with motors powered by other energy sources are generally referred to by a different name . An electric car carrying solar panels to power it is a solar car , and an electric car powered by a gasoline generator is a form of hybrid car . Thus , an electric car that derives its power from an on - board battery pack is a form of battery electric vehicle ( BEV ) . Most often , the term `` electric car '' is used to refer to battery electric vehicles . However , today the energy used by breaking is converted to electrical enenegy , and such cars are still considered fully electric vehicles . History ( edit ) Main article : History of the electric vehicle Early electric car , built by Thomas Parker , photo from 1895 Flocken Elektrowagen , 1888 ( reconstruction , 2011 ) The General Motors EV1 , one of the cars introduced due to the California Air Resources Board mandate , had a range of 160 mi ( 260 km ) with NiMH batteries in 1999 . Thomas Parker built the first practical production electric car in London in 1884 , using his own specially designed high - capacity rechargeable batteries . The Flocken Elektrowagen of 1888 was designed by German inventor Andreas Flocken . Electric cars were among the preferred methods for automobile propulsion in the late 19th century and early 20th century , providing a level of comfort and ease of operation that could not be achieved by the gasoline cars of the time . The electric vehicle stock peaked at approximately 30,000 vehicles at the turn of the 20th century . In 1897 , electric cars found their first commercial use in the USA . Based on the design of the Electrobat II , a fleet of twelve hansom cabs and one brougham were used in New York City as part of a project funded in part by the Electric Storage Battery Company of Philadelphia . During the 20th century , the main manufacturers of electric vehicles in the US were Anthony Electric , Baker , Columbia , Anderson , Edison , Riker , Milburn , Bailey Electric and others . Unlike gasoline - powered vehicles , the electric ones were less fast and less noisy , and did not require gear changes . Advances in internal combustion engines in the first decade of the 20th century lessened the relative advantages of the electric car . The greater range of gasoline cars , and their much quicker refueling times , made them more popular and encouraged a rapid expansion of petroleum infrastructure , making gasoline easy to find , but what proved decisive was the introduction in 1912 of the electric starter motor which replaced other , often laborious , methods of starting the ICE , such as hand - cranking . In the early 1990s , the California Air Resources Board ( CARB ) began a push for more fuel - efficient , lower - emissions vehicles , with the ultimate goal being a move to zero - emissions vehicles such as electric vehicles . In response , automakers developed electric models , including the Chrysler TEVan , Ford Ranger EV pickup truck , GM EV1 , and S10 EV pickup , Honda EV Plus hatchback , Nissan Altra EV miniwagon , and Toyota RAV4 EV . These cars were eventually withdrawn from the U.S. market . California electric automaker Tesla Motors began development in 2004 on what would become the Tesla Roadster ( 2008 ) , which was first delivered to customers in 2008 . The Roadster was the first highway legal serial production all - electric car to use lithium - ion battery cells , and the first production all - electric car to travel more than 320 km ( 200 miles ) per charge . Models released to the market between 2010 and December 2016 include the Mitsubishi i - MiEV , Nissan Leaf , Ford Focus Electric , Tesla Model S , BMW ActiveE , Coda , Renault Fluence Z.E. , Honda Fit EV , Toyota RAV4 EV , Renault Zoe , Roewe E50 , Mahindra e2o , Chevrolet Spark EV , Fiat 500e , Volkswagen e-Up ! , BMW i3 , BMW Brilliance Zinoro 1E , Kia Soul EV , Volkswagen e-Golf , Mercedes - Benz B - Class Electric Drive , Venucia e30 , BAIC E150 EV , Denza EV , Zotye Zhidou E20 , BYD e5 , Tesla Model X , Detroit Electric SP. 01 , BYD Qin EV300 , Hyundai Ioniq Electric and Chevrolet Bolt EV . Cumulative global sales of the Nissan Leaf , currently the top selling electric car , passed 200,000 units in December 2015 , five years after its introduction . The same month , the Renault - Nissan Alliance , the top selling all - electric vehicle manufacturer , passed the milestone of 300,000 electric vehicles sold worldwide . The Tesla Model 3 was unveiled on March 31 , 2016 and more than 325,000 reservations were made during the first week since bookings opened , each customer paying a refundable US $1,000 deposit to reserve the car . Cumulative global sales of all - electric cars and vans passed the 1 million unit milestone in September 2016 . Global Tesla Model S sales achieved the 150,000 unit milestone in November 2016 . Norway achieved the milestone of 100,000 all - electric vehicles registered in December 2016 . Global Leaf sales passed 250,000 units in December 2016 .

As of 2013 , electric cars are significantly more expensive than conventional internal combustion engine vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles due to the cost of their battery pack . However , battery prices are coming down about 8 % per annum with mass production , and are expected to drop further as competition increases . According to a 2010 survey , around three quarters of American and British car buyers have or would consider buying an electric car , but they are unwilling to pay more for an electric car . Several national and local governments have established tax credits , subsidies , and other incentives to reduce the net purchase price of electric cars and other plug - ins . Car manufacturers choose different strategies for EVs . For low production , converting existing platforms is the cheapest as development cost is low . For higher production , a dedicated platform may be preferred to optimize design . Battery first cost ( edit ) Tesla Motors uses laptop - size cells for a cost of about $200 per kilowatt hour . Based on the three battery size options offered for the Tesla Model S , The New York Times estimated the cost of automotive battery packs between US $400 to US $500 per kilowatt - hour . A 2013 study reported that battery costs came down from US $1,300 per kilowatt hour in 2007 to US $500 per kilowatt hour in 2012 . The U.S. Department of Energy has set cost targets for its sponsored battery research of US $300 per kilowatt hour in 2015 and US $125 per kilowatt hour by 2022 . Cost reductions of batteries and higher production volumes will allow plug - in electric vehicles to be more competitive with conventional internal combustion engine vehicles . A 2016 study by Bloomberg New Energy Finance ( BNEF ) says battery prices fell 65 % since 2010 , and 35 % just in 2015 , reaching US $350 per kWh . The study predicts electric car battery costs to be below US $120 per kWh by 2030 , and to fall further thereafter as new chemistries become available . McKinsey estimates that electric cars are competitive at a battery pack cost of $100 / kWh ( around 2030 ) , and expects pack costs to be $190 / kWh by 2020 . Maintenance ( edit ) Li - Ion battery - powered BMW i3 showing the carbon fibre structure and the electric motor The documentary Who Killed the Electric Car ? shows a comparison between the parts that require replacement in gasoline - powered cars and EV1s , with the garages stating that they bring the electric cars in every 5,000 mi ( 8,000 km ) , rotate the tires , fill the windshield washer fluid and send them back out again . Other advantages of electric cars are that they do not need to be driven to petrol stations and there are often fewer fluids which need to be changed . Electricity cost ( edit ) The cost of charging the battery depends on the cost of electricity . As of November 2012 , a Nissan Leaf driving 500 miles ( 800 km ) per week is estimated to cost US $600 per year in charging costs in Illinois , U.S. , as compared to US $2,300 per year in fuel costs for an average new car using regular gasoline . According to Nissan , the operating electricity cost of the Leaf in the UK is 1.75 pence per mile ( 1.09 p / km ) when charging at an off - peak electricity rate , while a conventional petrol - powered car costs more than 10 pence per mile ( 6.21 p / km ) . These estimates are based on a national average of British Petrol Economy 7 rates as of January 2012 , and assumed 7 hours of charging overnight at the night rate and one hour in the daytime charged at the Tier - 2 daytime rate . Battery depreciation ( edit ) Much of the mileage - related cost of an electric vehicle is depreciation of the battery pack . To calculate the cost per kilometer of an electric vehicle it is therefore necessary to assign a monetary value to the wear incurred on the battery . The Tesla Roadster 's battery pack is expected to last seven years with typical driving and costs US $12,000 when pre-purchased today . Driving 40 miles ( 64 km ) per day for seven years or 102,200 miles ( 164,500 km ) leads to a battery consumption cost of US $0.1174 per 1 mile ( 1.6 km ) or US $4.70 per 40 miles ( 64 km ) . Total cost of ownership ( edit ) A 2010 report , by J.D. Power and Associates states that it is not entirely clear to consumers the total cost of ownership of battery electric vehicles over the life of the vehicle , and `` there is still much confusion about how long one would have to own such a vehicle to realize cost savings on fuel , compared with a vehicle powered by a conventional internal combustion engine ( ICE ) . The resale value of HEVs and BEVs , as well as the cost of replacing depleted battery packs , are other financial considerations that weigh heavily on consumers ' minds . '' A 2011 study found that the gasoline costs savings of plug - in electric cars over their lifetimes do not offset their higher purchase prices . The Chinese auto manufacturer BYD calculated on its website in 2015 that a BYD e6 taxi over five years would give a saving of about $74,000 over the equivalent petrol consumption . Dealership reluctance to sell ( edit ) Almost all new cars in the United States are sold through dealerships , so they play a crucial role in the sales of electric vehicles , and negative attitudes can hinder early adoption of plug - in electric vehicles . Dealers decide which cars they want to stock , and a salesperson can have a big impact on how someone feels about a prospective purchase . Sales people have ample knowledge of internal combustion cars while they do not have time to learn about a technology that represents a fraction of overall sales . Retailers are central to ensuring that buyers have the information and support they need to gain the full benefits of adopting this new technology . There are several reasons for the reluctance of some dealers to sell plug - in electric vehicles . PEVs do not offer car dealers the same profits as gasoline - powered car . Plug - in electric vehicles take more time to sell because of the explaining required , which hurts overall sales and sales people commissions . Electric vehicles also may require less maintenance , resulting in loss of service revenue , and thus undermining the biggest source of dealer profits , their service departments . According to the National Automobile Dealers Association ( NADA ) , dealers on average make three times as much profit from service as they do from new car sales . However , a NADA spokesman said there was not sufficient data to prove that electric cars would require less maintenance . According to The New York Times , BMW and Nissan are among the companies whose dealers tend to be more enthusiastic and informed , but only about 10 % of dealers are knowledgeable on the new technology . Car dealerships play a crucial role in the sales of plug - in electric vehicles A 2014 study found many car dealers are not enthusiastic about selling plug - in vehicles . Surveys of buyers of plug - in electric vehicles showed they were significantly less satisfied and rated the dealer purchase experience much lower than buyers of non-premium conventional cars . Plug - in buyers expect more from dealers than conventional buyers , including product knowledge and support that extends beyond traditional offerings . In 2014 Consumer Reports reported that not all sales people seemed enthusiastic about making PEV sales , and many seemed not to have a good understanding of electric - car incentives or of charging needs and costs . At 35 of the 85 dealerships visited , the secret shoppers said sales people recommended buying a gasoline - powered car instead . The ITS - Davis study also found that a small but influential minority of dealers have introduced new approaches to better meet the needs of plug - in customers . Examples include marketing carpool lane stickers , enrolling buyers in charging networks , and preparing incentive paperwork for customers . Some dealers assign seasoned sales people as plug - in experts , many of whom drive plug - ins themselves to learn and be familiar with the technology and relate the car 's benefits to potential buyers . The study concluded also that carmakers could do much more to support dealers selling PEVs . Environmental aspects ( edit ) Main article : Environmental aspects of the electric car Electric cars have several benefits over conventional internal combustion engine automobiles , including a significant reduction of local air pollution , especially in cities , as they do not emit harmful tailpipe pollutants such as particulates ( soot ) , volatile organic compounds , hydrocarbons , carbon monoxide , ozone , lead , and various oxides of nitrogen . The clean air benefit may only be local because , depending on the source of the electricity used to recharge the batteries , air pollutant emissions may be shifted to the location of the generation plants . This is referred to as the long tailpipe of electric vehicles . The amount of carbon dioxide emitted depends on the emission intensity of the power sources used to charge the vehicle , the efficiency of the said vehicle and the energy wasted in the charging process . For mains electricity the emission intensity varies significantly per country and within a particular country , and on the demand , the availability of renewable sources and the efficiency of the fossil fuel - based generation used at a given time . Electric cars usually also show significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions , depending on the method used for electricity generation to charge the batteries . For example , some battery electric vehicles do not produce CO emissions at all , but only if their energy is obtained from sources such as solar , wind , nuclear , or hydropower . Even when the power is generated using fossil fuels , electric vehicles usually , compared to gasoline vehicles , show significant reductions in overall well - wheel global carbon emissions due to the highly carbon - intensive production in mining , pumping , refining , transportation and the efficiencies obtained with gasoline . Performance ( edit ) Acceleration and drivetrain design ( edit ) Rimac Concept One , electric supercar , since 2013 . 0 to 100 km / h ( 62 mph ) in 2.5 seconds , 1224 hp Electric motors can provide high power - to - weight ratios , and batteries can be designed to supply the large currents to support these motors . Electric motors have very flat torque curves down to zero speed . For simplicity and reliability , many electric cars use fixed - ratio gearboxes and have no clutch . Although some electric vehicles have very small motors , 15 kW ( 20 hp ) or less and therefore have modest acceleration , many electric cars have large motors and brisk acceleration . In addition , the relatively constant torque of an electric motor , even at very low speeds tends to increase the acceleration performance of an electric vehicle relative to that of the same rated motor power internal combustion engine . Electric vehicles can also use a direct motor - to - wheel configuration which increases the amount of available power . Having multiple motors connected directly to the wheels allows for each of the wheels to be used for both propulsion and as braking systems , thereby increasing traction . When not fitted with an axle , differential , or transmission , electric vehicles have less drivetrain rotational inertia . For example , the Venturi Fetish delivers supercar acceleration despite a relatively modest 220 kW ( 295 hp ) , and top speed of around 160 km / h ( 100 mph ) . Some DC - motor - equipped drag racer EVs have simple two - speed manual transmissions to improve top speed . The Tesla Roadster ( 2008 ) 2.5 Sport can accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h ( 0 to 62 mph ) in 3.7 seconds with a motor rated at 215 kW ( 288 hp ) . Tesla Model S P100D ( Performance / 100kWh / 4 - wheel drive ) is capable of 2.28 second to 60 mph at a price of $140,000 ( 1 ) . As of May 2017 , the P100D is the second fastest production car ever built , slower by a mere 0.08 only to a $847,975 Porsche 918 Spyder . The Wrightspeed X1 prototype created by Wrightspeed Inc was in 2009 the worlds fastest street legal electric car to accelerate from 0 to 97 km / h ( 0 to 60 mph ) , which it does in 2.9 seconds . The electric supercar Rimac Concept One can go from 0 -- 100 km / h ( 0 -- 62 mph ) in 2.8 seconds using 811 kW ( 1,088 hp ) . Energy efficiency ( edit ) Internal combustion engines have thermodynamic limits on efficiency , expressed as fraction of energy used to propel the vehicle compared to energy produced by burning fuel . Gasoline engines effectively use only 15 % of the fuel energy content to move the vehicle or to power accessories , and diesel engines can reach on - board efficiency of 20 % , while electric vehicles have on - board efficiency of around 80 % . Electric motors are more efficient than internal combustion engines in converting stored energy into driving a vehicle . Electric cars do not idle . Regenerative braking can recover as much as one fifth of the energy normally lost during braking . Production and conversion electric cars typically use 10 to 23 kW h / 100 km ( 0.17 to 0.37 kW h / mi ) . Approximately 20 % of this power consumption is due to inefficiencies in charging the batteries . Tesla Motors indicates that the vehicle efficiency ( including charging inefficiencies ) of their lithium - ion battery powered vehicle is 12.7 kW h / 100 km ( 0.21 kW h / mi ) and the well - to - wheels efficiency ( assuming the electricity is generated from natural gas ) is 24.4 kW h / 100 km ( 0.39 kW h / mi ) . Cabin heating and cooling ( edit ) Electric vehicles generate very little waste heat . Supplemental heat may have to be used to heat the interior of the vehicle if heat generated from battery charging / discharging can not be used to heat the interior . While heating can be provided with an electric resistance heater , higher efficiency and integral cooling can be obtained with a reversible heat pump . Positive Temperature Coefficient ( PTC ) junction cooling is also attractive for its simplicity -- this kind of system is used for example in the Tesla Roadster ( 2008 ) . To avoid draining the battery and thus reducing the range , some models allow the cabin to be heated while the car is plugged in . For example , the Nissan Leaf , the Mitsubishi i - MiEV and the Tesla Model S can be pre-heated while the vehicle is plugged in . Some electric cars , for example the Citroën Berlingo Electrique , use an auxiliary heating system ( for example gasoline - fueled units manufactured by Webasto or Eberspächer ) but sacrifice `` green '' and `` Zero emissions '' credentials . Cabin cooling can be augmented with solar power , or by automatically allowing outside air to flow through the car when parked . Two models of the 2010 Toyota Prius include this feature as an option . Safety ( edit ) The safety issues of BEVs are largely dealt with by the international standard ISO 6469 . This document is divided in three parts dealing with specific issues : On - board electrical energy storage , i.e. the battery Functional safety means and protection against failures Protection of persons against electrical hazards . Risk of fire ( edit ) Main article : plug - in electric vehicle fire incidents Frontal crash test of a Volvo C30 DRIVe Electric to assess the safety of the battery pack Lithium - ion batteries may suffer thermal runaway and cell rupture if overheated or overcharged , and in extreme cases this can lead to combustion . Several plug - in electric vehicle fire incidents have taken place since the introduction of mass - production plug - in electric vehicles in 2008 . Most of them have been thermal runaway incidents related to their lithium - ion battery packs , and have involved the Zotye M300 EV , Chevrolet Volt , Fisker Karma , BYD e6 , Dodge Ram 1500 Plug - in Hybrid , Toyota Prius Plug - in Hybrid , Mitsubishi i - MiEV and Outlander P - HEV . As of November 2013 , four post-crash fires associated with the batteries of all - electric cars -- involving one BYD e6 and three Tesla Model S cars -- have been reported . The first modern crash - related fire was reported in China in May 2012 , after a high - speed car crashed into a BYD e6 taxi in Shenzhen . The second reported incident occurred in the United States on October 1 , 2013 , when a Tesla Model S caught fire over ten minutes after the electric car hit metal debris on a highway in Kent , Washington state , and the debris punctured one of 16 modules within the battery pack . A second reported fire occurred on October 18 , 2013 in Merida , Mexico . In this case the vehicle was being driven at high speed through a roundabout and crashed through a wall and into a tree . The fire broke out many minutes after the driver exited the vehicle . On November 6 , 2013 , a Tesla Model S being driven on Interstate 24 near Murfreesboro , Tennessee caught fire after it struck a tow hitch on the roadway , causing damage beneath the vehicle . In the United States , General Motors ran in several cities a training program for firefighters and first responders to demonstrate the sequence of tasks required to safely disable the Chevrolet Volt 's powertrain and its 12 volt electrical system , which controls its high - voltage components , and then proceed to extricate injured occupants . The Volt 's high - voltage system is designed to shut down automatically in the event of an airbag deployment , and to detect a loss of communication from an airbag control module . GM also made available an Emergency Response Guide for the 2011 Volt for use by emergency responders . The guide also describes methods of disabling the high voltage system and identifies cut zone information . Nissan also published a guide for first responders that details procedures for handling a damaged 2011 Leaf at the scene of an accident , including a manual high - voltage system shutdown , rather than the automatic process built - in the car 's safety systems . Vehicle Safety ( edit ) Great effort is taken to keep the mass of an electric vehicle as low as possible to improve its range and endurance . However , the weight and bulk of the batteries themselves usually makes an EV heavier than a comparable gasoline vehicle , reducing range and leading to longer braking distances . However , in a collision , the occupants of a heavy vehicle will , on average , suffer fewer and less serious injuries than the occupants of a lighter vehicle ; therefore , the additional weight brings safety benefits despite having a negative effect on the car 's performance . They also use up interior space if packaged ineffectively . If stored under the passenger cell , not only is this not the case , they also lower the vehicles 's center of gravity , increasing driving stability , thereby lowering the risk of an accident through loss of control . An accident in a 2,000 lb ( 900 kg ) vehicle will on average cause about 50 % more injuries to its occupants than a 3,000 lb ( 1,400 kg ) vehicle . In a single car accident , and for the other car in a two car accident , the increased mass causes an increase in accelerations and hence an increase in the severity of the accident . Some electric cars use low rolling resistance tires , which typically offer less grip than normal tires . Many electric cars have a small , light and fragile body , though , and therefore offer inadequate safety protection . The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in America had condemned the use of low speed vehicles and `` mini trucks , '' referred to as neighborhood electric vehicles ( NEVs ) when powered by electric motors , on public roads . Mindful of this , several companies ( Tesla Motors , BMW , Uniti ) have succeeded in keeping the body light , while making it very strong . Hazard to pedestrians ( edit ) See also : electric vehicle warning sounds At low speeds , electric cars produced less roadway noise as compared to vehicles propelled by internal combustion engines . Blind people or the visually impaired consider the noise of combustion engines a helpful aid while crossing streets , hence electric cars and hybrids could pose an unexpected hazard . Tests have shown that this is a valid concern , as vehicles operating in electric mode can be particularly hard to hear below 20 mph ( 30 km / h ) for all types of road users and not only the visually impaired . At higher speeds , the sound created by tire friction and the air displaced by the vehicle start to make sufficient audible noise . The Government of Japan , the U.S. Congress , and the European Parliament passed legislation to regulate the minimum level of sound for hybrids and plug - in electric vehicles when operating in electric mode , so that blind people and other pedestrians and cyclists can hear them coming and detect from which direction they are approaching . The Nissan Leaf was the first electric car to use Nissan 's Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians system , which includes one sound for forward motion and another for reverse . As of January 2014 , most of the hybrids and plug - in electric and hybrids available in the United States , Japan and Europe make warning noises using a speaker system . The Tesla Model S is one of the few electric cars without warning sounds , because Tesla Motors will wait until regulations are enacted . Volkswagen and BMW also decided to add artificial sounds to their electric drive cars only when required by regulation . Several anti-noise and electric car advocates have opposed the introduction of artificial sounds as warning for pedestrians , as they argue that the proposed system will only increase noise pollution. . Added to this , such an introduction is based on vehicle type and not actual noise level , a concern regarding ICE vehicles which themselves are becoming quieter . Electrical interference ( edit ) On - board electrical systems generate enough interference that some manufacturers have removed AM radios from their vehicles due to poor reception . Controls ( edit ) Presently most EV manufacturers do their best to emulate the driving experience as closely as possible to that of a car with a conventional automatic transmission that motorists in some countries are familiar with . Most models therefore have a PRNDL selector traditionally found in cars with automatic transmission despite the underlying mechanical differences . Push buttons are the easiest to implement as all modes are implemented through software on the vehicle 's controller . Even though the motor may be permanently connected to the wheels through a fixed - ratio gear and no parking pawl may be present the modes `` P '' and `` N '' will still be provided on the selector . In this case the motor is disabled in `` N '' and an electrically actuated hand brake provides the `` P '' mode . In some cars the motor will spin slowly to provide a small amount of creep in `` D '' , similar to a traditional automatic . When the foot is lifted from the accelerator of an ICE , engine braking causes the car to slow . An EV would coast under these conditions , but applying mild regenerative braking instead provides a more familiar response and recharges the battery somewhat . Selecting the L mode will increase this effect for sustained downhill driving , analogous to selecting a lower gear . These features also reduce the use of the conventional brakes , significantly reducing wear and tear and maintenance costs as well as improving vehicle range . Batteries ( edit ) Prototypes of 50 watt - hour / kilogram lithium - ion polymer battery . Newer lithium - ion cells can provide up to 130 W h / kg and last through thousands of charging cycles . Main article : electric vehicle battery While most current highway - speed electric vehicle designs focus on lithium - ion and other lithium - based variants a variety of alternative batteries can also be used . Lithium - based batteries are often chosen for their high power and energy density but have a limited shelf life and cycle lifetime which can significantly increase the running costs of the vehicle . Variants such as Lithium iron phosphate and Lithium - titanate attempt to solve the durability issues of traditional lithium - ion batteries . Other battery types include lead acid batteries which are still the most used form of power for most of the electric vehicles used today . The initial construction costs are significantly lower than for other battery types , but the power to weight ratio is poorer than other designs , Nickel metal hydride ( NiMH ) which are somewhat heavier and less efficient than lithium ion , but also cheaper . Several other battery chemistries are in development such as zinc - air battery which could be much lighter , and liquid batteries that might be rapidly refilled , rather than recharged , are also under development . Range ( edit ) Further information : List of electric cars currently available External image List of ranges for electric cars in Norway as of 2014 The range of an electric car depends on the number and type of batteries used . The weight and type of vehicle , and the performance demands of the driver , also have an impact just as they do on the range of traditional vehicles . Range may also significantly be reduced in cold weather .

Tesla vehicles shown correspond to the variants with the longest and shortest range for each model . The range of current production electric vehicles ranges anywhere from 80 km ( Renault Twizy ) to 500 km ( Rimac Concept One ) . Electric cars are virtually universally fitted with an expected range display . This may take into account many factors , including battery charge , the recent average power use , the ambient temperature , driving style , air conditioning system , route topography etc. to come up with an estimated driving range . However , since factors can vary over the route , the estimate can vary from the actual achieved range . People can thus be concerned that they would run out of energy from their battery before reaching their destination , a worry known as range anxiety . The display allows the driver able to make informed choices about driving speed and whether to , perhaps briefly , stop at a charging point en route to ensure that they have enough charge that they arrive at their destination successfully . Some roadside assistance organizations offer charge trucks to reload empty electric cars . A study in 2016 stated that 87 % of US vehicle - days can be met by current affordable electric cars . Charging ( edit ) Most cars with internal combustion engines can be considered to have indefinite range , as they can be refueled very quickly . Electric cars typically have less maximum range on one charge than fossil fueled cars can travel on a full tank , and they can take considerable time to recharge . However , they can be charged at home overnight , which fossil fueled cars can not . 71 % of all car drivers in America drive less than 40 miles ( 64 km ) per day , and require only a relatively quick topping up . Home charging ( edit ) As examples of on - board chargers , the Nissan Leaf at launch had a 3.3 kW charger , and the Tesla Roadster can accept up to 16.8 kW ( 240 V at 70 A ) from the High Power Wall Connector . These charging rates are slow compared with the effective power delivery rate of an average petrol pump , about 5,000 kW . Rapid charging ( edit ) Panoramic view of Tesla supercharger rapid charging station in Tejon Ranch , California However , most vehicles also support much faster charging , where a suitable power supply is available . Therefore , for long distance travel , in the US and elsewhere , there has been the installation of Fast Charging stations with high - speed charging capability from three - phase industrial outlets so that consumers can recharge the battery of their electric vehicle to 80 percent in about 30 minutes ( for example Nissan Leaf , Tesla Model S , Renault Zoe , BMW i3 etc . ) . Although charging at these stations is still relatively time consuming compared to refueling , in practice it often meshes well with a normal driving pattern , where driving is usually done for a few hours before stopping and resting and drinking or eating ; this gives the car a chance to be charged . As of December 2013 , Estonia is the first and only country that had deployed an EV charging network with nationwide coverage , with fast chargers available along highways at a minimum distance of between 40 to 60 km ( 25 to 37 mi ) , and a higher density in urban areas . DC Fast Chargers are going to be installed at 45 BP and ARCO locations and will be made available to the public as early as March 2011 . The EV Project will deploy charge infrastructure in 16 cities and major metropolitan areas in six states . Nissan has announced that 200 of its dealers in Japan will install fast chargers for the December 2010 launch of its Leaf EV , with the goal of having fast chargers everywhere in Japan within a 25 - mile radius . Charging time ( edit ) BYD e6 taxi . Recharging in 15 Minutes to 80 percent Most electric cars can be recharged to 80 percent in about 30 minutes ( for example Nissan Leaf , Tesla Model S , Renault Zoe , BMW i3 etc . ) . The current is usually DC . The Porsche Mission E will be able to charge to 80 percent within 15 minutes , making it the fastest - charging electric vehicle available . According to Tesla , the Tesla Model S and Tesla Model X can be charged from a proprietary DC quick - charging station that provides up to 135 kW of power , giving 85 kWh vehicles 290 km ( 180 mi ) of range in about 30 minutes . According to the manufacturer BYD the lithium iron phosphate battery of the electric car e6 is charged at a fast charging station within 15 minutes to 80 % , after 40 minutes at 100 % . Instead of giving the charging rate in kilowatts , the charge speed is sometimes expressed as `` miles range per hour '' ( mrph ) , as it may be easier to understand , and cars have different consumption . Battery swapping ( edit ) Further information : Battery swapping The battery swap process on a Zotye M300 EV . Another way to extend the limited range of electric vehicles is by battery swapping . An EV can go to a battery switch station and swap a depleted battery with a fully charged one in a few minutes . In 2011 , Better Place deployed the first modern commercial application of the battery switching model , but due to financial difficulties , the company filed for bankruptcy in May 2013 . Tesla Motors designed its Model S to allow fast battery swapping . In June 2013 , Tesla announced their goal to deploy a battery swapping station in each of its supercharging stations . At a demonstration event Tesla showed that a battery swap operation with the Model S takes just over 90 seconds , about half the time it takes to refill a gasoline - powered car . The first stations are planned to be deployed along Interstate 5 in California where , according to Tesla , a large number of Model S sedans make the San Francisco - Los Angeles trip regularly . These will be followed by the Washington , DC to Boston corridor . Each swapping station will cost US $500,000 and will have about 50 batteries available without requiring reservations . The service would be offered for the price of about 15 US gallons ( 57 l ; 12 imp gal ) of gasoline at the current local rate , around US $60 to US $80 at June 2013 prices . Range extension ( edit ) The BMW i3 has an optional gasoline - powered range extender engine A similar idea is that of the range - extension trailer which is attached only when going on long trips . The trailers can either be owned or rented only when necessary . BMW i is offering a built - in gasoline - powered range extender engine as an option for its BMW i3 all - electric car . The range - extender option will cost an additional US $3,850 in the United States , an additional € 4,710 ( ~ US $6,300 ) in France , and € 4,490 ( ~ US $6,000 ) in the Netherlands . Lifespan ( edit ) Main article : rechargeable battery § Lifespan and cycle stability Battery life should be considered when calculating the extended cost of ownership , as all batteries eventually wear out and must be replaced . The rate at which they expire depends on the type of battery and how they are used -- many types of batteries are damaged by depleting them beyond a certain level . Lithium - ion batteries degrade faster when stored at higher temperatures , when they are rapidly charged , and when they are fully charged . Many users set their cars to charge to 80 % for their daily charging ; which is usually enough for daily mileage , only charging them to 100 % for longer journeys . Although there are times when batteries do fail the electric vehicles ' batteries are designed to last for the expected life of the vehicle . The failure rate of some electric vehicles batteries already on the road is as low as 0.003 % . There are also high mileage warranties on electric vehicle batteries . Several manufactures offer up to eight year and one hundred thousand mile warranties on the batteries alone . A full replacement battery is relatively costly . With technological advances there are now recycle options available ( `` Maintenance and Safety of Electric Vehicles '' ) , and a battery that is no longer capable of delivering sufficient range nevertheless has significant trade - in value . Nissan stated in 2015 that thus far only 0.01 percent of batteries had to be replaced because of failures or problems and then only because of externally inflicted damage . There are few vehicles that have already covered more than 200,000 km ( 124,274 mi ) anyway . These have no problems with the battery . Future ( edit ) Lithium availability The Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is one of the largest known lithium reserves in the world . See also : rare - earth metals availability and supply security Many electric cars use a lithium - ion battery and an electric motor which uses rare - earth elements . The demand for lithium , heavy metals , and other specific elements ( such as neodymium , boron and cobalt ) required for the batteries and powertrain is expected to grow significantly due to the future sales increase of plug - in electric vehicles in the mid and long term . Some of the largest world reserves of lithium and other rare metals are located in countries with strong resource nationalism , unstable governments or hostility to U.S. interests , raising concerns about the risk of replacing dependence on foreign oil with a new dependence on hostile countries to supply strategic materials . It is estimated that there are sufficient lithium reserves to power 4 billion electric cars . Other methods of energy storage Experimental supercapacitors and flywheel energy storage devices offer comparable storage capacity , faster charging , and lower volatility . They have the potential to overtake batteries as the preferred rechargeable storage for EVs . The FIA included their use in its sporting regulations of energy systems for Formula One race vehicles in 2007 ( for supercapacitors ) and 2009 ( for flywheel energy storage devices ) . Solar cars Main article : solar vehicle Solar cars are electric vehicles powered completely or significantly by direct solar energy , usually , through photovoltaic ( PV ) cells contained in solar panels that convert the sun 's energy directly into electric energy . Electrified Road In March 2016 Toyohashi University of Technology and Taisei Corp of Japan unveiled the first electrical car in the world that would be able to run without a battery . The electric car receives its charge from an electrified road . The test was made on electrified road in Toyohashi , in the Aichi Prefecture . Infrastructure ( edit ) Charging station ( edit ) Charging station at Rio de Janeiro , Brazil . This station is run by Petrobras and uses solar energy . Main article : charging station Batteries in BEVs must be periodically recharged ( see also Replacing , above ) . Unlike vehicles powered directly by fossil fuels , BEVs are most commonly and conveniently charged from the power grid overnight at home , without the inconvenience of having to go to a filling station . Charging can also be done using a street , garage or shop charging station . The electricity on the grid is in turn generated from a variety of sources ; such as coal , hydroelectricity , nuclear and others . Power sources such as photovoltaic solar cell panels , micro hydro or wind may also be used and are promoted because of concerns regarding global warming . More electrical power to the car reduces charging time . Power is limited by the capacity of the grid connection , and , for level 1 and 2 charging , by the power rating of the car 's on - board charger . A normal household outlet is between 1.5 kW ( in the US , Canada , Japan , and other countries with 110 volt supply ) to 3 kW ( in countries with 230 V supply ) . The main connection to a house may sustain 10 , 15 or even 20 kW in addition to `` normal '' domestic loads -- although , it would be unwise to use all the apparent capability -- and special wiring can be installed to use this . As part of its commitment to environmental sustainability , the Dutch government initiated a plan to establish over 200 recharging stations for electric vehicles across the country by 2015 . The rollout was undertaken by Switzerland - based power and automation company ABB and Dutch startup Fastned , and aims to provide at least one station every 50 kilometres ( 31 miles ) for the Netherlands ' 16 million residents . There are several types of charging machines . The Japanese - developed CHAdeMO standard is favored by Nissan , Mitsubishi , and Toyota , while the Society of Automotive Engineers ' ( SAE ) International J1772 Combo standard is backed by GM , Ford , Volkswagen , and BMW . Both are direct - current quick - charging systems designed to charge the battery of an electric vehicle to 80 percent in approximately 20 minutes , but the two systems are incompatible . Unless the two companies cooperate , experts have warned that the momentum of the electric vehicle market will be restricted . Richard Martin , editorial director for clean technology marketing and consultant firm Navigant Research , stated : Fast charging , however and whenever it gets built out , is going to be key for the development of a mainstream market for plug - in electric vehicles . The broader conflict between the CHAdeMO and SAE Combo connectors , we see that as a hindrance to the market over the next several years that needs to be worked out . Research continues on ways of reducing the charging times for electric cars . The BMW i3 for example , can charge 0 -- 80 % of the battery in under 30 minutes in rapid charging mode . The superchargers developed by Tesla Motors provided up to 130 kW of charging , allowing a 50 % charge in 20 minutes . Considering the size of the battery , that translated to approx. 212 km of range . US charging standards ( edit ) Around 1998 the California Air Resources Board classified levels of charging power that have been codified in title 13 of the California Code of Regulations , the U.S. 1999 National Electrical Code section 625 and SAE International standards . Four standards were developed , termed AC Level 1 , AC Level 2 , AC Level 3 charging , and Combo Charging System ( CCS ) . Level Original definition ChargePoint 's definition Connectors AC Level 1 AC energy to the vehicle 's on - board charger ; from the most common U.S. grounded household receptacle , commonly referred to as a 120 volt outlet . 120 V AC ; 16 A ( = 1.92 kW ) SAE J1772 ( 16.8 kW ) , NEMA 5 -- 15 AC Level 2 AC energy to the vehicle 's on - board charger ; 208 -- 240 V , single phase . The maximum current specified is 32 A ( continuous ) with a branch circuit breaker rated at 40 A. Maximum continuous input power is specified as 7.68 kW ( = 240 V × 32 A * ) . 208 -- 240 V AC ; 12 A -- 80 A ( = 2.5 -- 19.2 kW ) SAE J1772 ( 16.8 kW ) , IEC 62196 ( 44 kW ) , Magne Charge ( Obsolete ) , Avcon , IEC 60309 16 A ( 3.8 kW ) IEC 62198 - 2 Type 2 same as VDE - AR - E 2623 - 2 - 2 , colloquially known as the `` Mennekes connector '' ( 43.5 kW ) IEC 62198 - 2 Type 3 colloquially known as `` Scame '' AC Level 3 AC energy to the vehicle 's on - board charger ; 208 -- 240 V , single phase . The maximum power of 96 kW ( continuous ) . 208 -- 240 V AC ; 11.6 to 96 kW SAE J1772 standard pending Combo Charging System ( CCS ) DC energy from an off - board charger ; with additional pins to accommodate fast DC charging at 200 -- 450 V DC and up to 90 kW . This will also use Power Line Carrier technology to communicate between the vehicle , off - board charger , and smart grid . 200 -- 450 Volts DC and up to 90 kW SAE J1772 Combo Coupler * or potentially 208 V × 37 A , out of the strict specification but within circuit breaker and connector / cable power limits . Alternatively , this voltage would impose a lower power rating of 6.7 kW at 32 A . More recently the term `` Level 3 '' has also been used by the SAE J1772 Standard Committee for a possible future higher - power AC fast charging standard . To distinguish from Level 3 DC fast charging , this would - be standard is written as `` Level 3 AC '' . SAE has not yet approved standards for either AC or DC Level 3 charging . As of June 2012 , some electric cars provide charging options that do not fit within the older California `` Level 1 , 2 , and 3 charging '' standard , with its top charging rate of 40 A. For example , the Tesla Roadster may be charged at a rate up to 70 A ( 16.8 kW ) with a wall - mounted charger . For comparison , in Europe the IEC 61851 - 1 charging modes are used to classify charging equipment . The provisions of IEC 62196 charging modes for conductive charging of electric vehicles include Mode 1 ( max. 16 A / max. 250 V AC. or 480 V three - phase ) , Mode 2 ( max. 32 A / max. 250 V AC or 480 V three - phase ) , Mode 3 ( max. 63 A ( 70 A U.S. ) / max. 690 V AC or three - phase ) and Mode 4 ( max. 400 A / max. 600 V DC ) . Connectors ( edit ) Most electric cars have used conductive coupling to supply electricity for recharging after the California Air Resources Board settled on the SAE J1772 - 2001 standard as the charging interface for electric vehicles in California in June 2001 . In Europe , the ACEA has decided to use the Type 2 connector from the range of IEC_62196 plug types for conductive charging of electric vehicles in the European Union as the Type 1 connector ( SAE J1772 - 2009 ) does not provide for three - phase charging . Another approach is inductive charging using a non-conducting `` paddle '' inserted into a slot in the car . Delco Electronics developed the Magne Charge inductive charging system around 1998 for the General Motors EV1 and it was also used for the Chevrolet S - 10 EV and Toyota RAV4 EV vehicles . Vehicle - to - grid : uploading and grid buffering ( edit ) Main article : vehicle - to - grid During peak load periods , when the cost of generation can be very high , electric vehicles could contribute energy to the grid . These vehicles can then be recharged during off - peak hours at cheaper rates while helping to absorb excess night time generation . Here the batteries in the vehicles serve as a distributed storage system to buffer power . Politics ( edit ) Electric vehicles provide for less dependence on foreign oil , which for the United States and other developed or emerging countries is cause for concern about vulnerability to oil price volatility and supply disruption . Also for many developing countries , and particularly for the poorest in Africa , high oil prices have an adverse impact on their balance of payments , hindering their economic growth . In the United States , presidential candidate Obama proposed in 2008 `` 1 million plug - in and electric '' cars by 2015 . At the end of 2015 about 550 thousand plugin - in vehicles had been sold in the USA . Currently available electric cars ( edit ) Main article : list of electric cars currently available Highway capable ( edit ) Main article : list of production battery electric vehicles See also : plug - in electric vehicle and list of modern production plug - in electric vehicles The Nissan Leaf is the world 's all - time top selling highway legal plug - in electric car . Global sales passed the 250,000 unit milestone in December 2016 , six years after its inception . A Rimac Concept S at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show , currently the fastest track oriented electric vehicle available . The electric motors can produce 1384 bhp , which means the Concept S can accelerate from 0 -- 100 km / h within 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 365 km / h . As of December 2015 , there were over 30 models of highway - capable all - electric passenger cars and utility vans available in the market for retail sales . The global stock of light - duty all - electric vehicles totaled 739,810 units , out of a global stock of 1.257 million light - duty plug - in electric vehicles on the road at the end of 2015 . The global ratio between all - electrics ( BEVs ) and plug - in hybrids ( PHEVs ) has consistently been 60 : 40 between 2014 and the first half of 2016 , mainly due to the large all - electric market in China . In the U.S. and Europe , the ratio is approaching a 50 : 50 split . Cumulative global sales of all - electric cars and vans passed the 1 million unit milestone in September 2016 . The Renault - Nissan Alliance is the world 's leading all - electric vehicle manufacturer . The Alliance reached sales of 424,797 all - electric vehicles delivered globally at the end of 2016 , including those manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors , now part of the Alliance .

The Nissan Leaf was the world 's top selling plug - in car in 2013 and 2014 . Renault global electric vehicle sales passed the 100,000 unit milestone in September 2016 . In December 2014 , Nissan announced that Leaf owners have accumulated together 1 billion kilometers ( 620 million miles ) driven . This amount of electric miles translates into saving 180 million kilograms of CO emissions by driving an electric car in comparison to travelling with a gasoline - powered car . In December 2016 , Nissan reported that Leaf owners worldwide achieved the milestone of 3 billion kilometers ( 1.9 billion miles ) driven collectively through November 2016 . As of December 2016 , Tesla Motors ranks second with more than 186,000 electric cars worldwide since delivery of its first Tesla Roadster in 2008 . Its Model S has been the world 's best selling plug - in electric car for two years in a row , 2015 and 2016 . In September 2016 , combined sales of Tesla Motors models totaled over 13,000 units worldwide , setting the best monthly plug - in sales volume on record ever , by any automaker of plug - in cars . In early October 2016 , Tesla reported that combined miles driven by its three models have accumulated 3 billion electric miles ( 4.8 billion km ) traveled . The first billion mark was recorded in June 2015 and the second billion in April 2016 . BMW is the third best selling all - electric vehicle manufacturer with more than 65,000 i3s sold through December 2016 , including the REx variant . Next is Mitsubishi Motors with global sales of about 50,000 all - electric vehicles between July 2009 and June 2015 , including the rebadged variants Peugeot iOn and Citroën C - Zero sold in Europe ; and over 7,000 Mitsubishi Minicab MiEV all - electric utility vans and trucks sold in Japan through December 2015 . The world 's all - time top selling highway legal electric car is the Nissan Leaf , released in December 2010 , with global sales of more than 250,000 units through December 2016 . The Tesla Model S ranks second with global sales of over 158,000 cars delivered as of December 2016 . The Renault Kangoo Z.E. utility van is the leader of the light - duty all - electric segment with global sales of 25,205 units through December 2016 .

Electric cars by country ( edit ) Main article : electric car use by country See also : plug - in electric vehicles in the United States , new energy vehicles in China , plug - in electric vehicles in Japan , and plug - in electric vehicles in Norway See also : plug - in electric vehicles in France , plug - in electric vehicles in Germany , and plug - in electric vehicles in the United Kingdom Annual sales of light - duty plug - in electric vehicles in the world 's top markets between 2011 and 2016 As of December 2016 , more than two million highway legal plug - in electric passenger cars and light utility vehicles ( PEVs ) have been sold worldwide . The stock of plug - in electric cars represented 0.15 % of the 1.4 billion motor vehicles on the world 's roads by the end of 2016 , up from 0.1 % in 2015 . Sales of plug - in electric vehicles achieved the one million milestone in September 2015 , almost twice as fast as hybrid electric vehicles ( HEV ) . While it took four years and 10 months for the PEV segment to reach one - million sales , it took more than around nine years and a few months for HEVs to reach its first million sales . When global sales are broken down by type of powertrain , all - electric cars have oversold plug - in hybrids , with pure electrics capturing 61 % of the global stock of 2 million light - duty plug - ins on the world 's roads by the end of 2016 . Government subsidy ( edit ) See also : government incentives for plug - in electric vehicles Several countries have established grants and tax credits for the purchase of new electric cars depending on battery size . The U.S. offers a federal income tax credit up to US $7,500 , and several states have additional incentives . The UK offers a Plug - in Car Grant up to a maximum of GB £ 4,500 ( US $5,929 ) . The U.S. government also pledged US $2.4 billion in federal grants for the development of advanced technologies for electric cars and batteries , despite the fact that overall sales are n't increasing at the expected speed . As of April 2011 , 15 European Union member states provide economic incentives for the purchase of new electrically chargeable vehicles , which consist of tax reductions and exemptions , as well as of bonus payments for buyers of all - electric and plug - in hybrid vehicles , hybrid electric vehicles , and some alternative fuel vehicles .

The serratus anterior acts to the scapula forward around the thorax . The muscles is named from Latin : serrare = to saw , referring to the shape , anterior = on the front side of the body . Contents ( hide ) 1 Structure 1.1 Relations 1.2 Nerve supply 2 Function 3 Other animals 4 Additional images 5 See also 6 Notes 7 References 8 External links Structure ( edit ) Serratus anterior normally originates by nine or ten slips ( muscle branches ) from either the first to ninth ribs or the first to eighth ribs . Because two slips usually arise from the second rib , the number of slips is greater than the number of ribs from which they originate . The muscle is inserted along the medial border of the scapula between the superior and inferior angles along with being inserted along the thoracic vertebrae . The muscle is divided into three named parts depending on their points of insertions : the serratus anterior superior is inserted near the superior angle the serratus anterior intermediate is inserted along the medial border the serratus anterior inferior is inserted near the inferior angle . Relations ( edit ) The serratus anterior lies deep to the subscapularis , from which it is separated by the subscapularis ( supraserratus ) bursa . It is separated from the rib by the scapulothoracic ( infraserratus ) bursa . Nerve supply ( edit ) The serratus anterior is innervated by the long thoracic nerve ( Nerve of Bell ) , a branch of the brachial plexus . The long thoracic nerve travels inferiorly on the surface of the serratus . The nerve is especially vulnerable during certain types of surgery ( for example , during lymph node clearance from the axilla ( e.g. , in case of axillary dissection in a surgery for breast cancer ) ) . Damage to this nerve can lead to a winged scapula . Function ( edit ) All three parts described above pull the scapula forward around the thorax , which is essential for anteversion of the arm . As such , the muscle is an antagonist to the rhomboids . However , when the inferior and superior parts act together , they keep the scapula pressed against the thorax together with the rhomboids and therefore these parts also act as synergists to the rhomboids . The inferior part can pull the lower end of the scapula laterally and forward and thus rotates the scapula to make elevation of the arm possible . Additionally , all three parts can lift the ribs when the shoulder girdle is fixed , and thus assist in respiration . The serratus anterior is occasionally called the `` big swing muscle '' or `` boxer 's muscle '' because it is largely responsible for the protraction of the scapula -- that is , the pulling of the scapula forward and around the rib cage that occurs when someone throws a punch . The serratus anterior also plays an important role in the upward rotation of the scapula , such as when lifting a weight overhead . It performs this in sync with the upper and lower fibers of the trapezius . Other animals ( edit ) The muscles of the shoulder can be categorized into three topographic units : the scapulohumeral , axiohumeral , and axioscapular groups . Serratus anterior forms part of the latter group together with rhomboid major , rhomboid minor , levator scapulae , and trapezius . The trapezius evolved separately , but the other three muscles in this group evolved from the first eight or ten ribs and the transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae ( homologous to the ribs ) . Functional demands have resulted in the evolution of individual muscles from the basal unit formed by the serratus anterior . In primitive life forms , the main function of the axioscapular group is to control the movements of the vertebral border of the scapula : fibers concerned with the dorsal movement of scapula evolved into the rhomboids , those with ventral motion into serratus anterior , and those with cranial movements into levator scapulae . The evolution of the serratus anterior itself has resulted in ( 1 ) grouping of its distal and proximal fibers , ( 2 ) size reduction of its intermediate fibers , and ( 3 ) the insertion of its dominant superior and inferior parts onto the superior and inferior angles of the scapula . In primates , the thoracic cage is wide and the scapula is rotated onto its posterior side to have the glenoid cavity face laterally . Additionally , the clavicle takes care of medial forces . In cursorial mammals ( for example the horse and other quadrupeds ) , the scapula is hanging vertically on the side of the thorax and the clavicle is absent . Therefore , in climbing animals , the serratus anterior supports the scapula against the reaction forces of the free limb and exerts high bending forces on the ribs . To sustain these forces , the ribs have a pronounced curvature and are supported by the clavicle . In cursorial animals , the thorax is hanging between the scapulae at the serratus anterior and pectoralis muscles . Additional images ( edit ) Position of Serratus anterior muscle .

( January 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Carving from Maria Laach Abbey , in the Eifel , Rhineland . The `` Morgan Leaf '' , detached from the Winchester Bible of 1160 − 75 . Scenes from the life of David . Romanesque art is the art of Europe from approximately 1000 AD to the rise of the Gothic style in the 12th century , or later , depending on region . The preceding period is known as the Pre-Romanesque period . The term was invented by 19th - century art historians , especially for Romanesque architecture , which retained many basic features of Roman architectural style -- most notably round - headed arches , but also barrel vaults , apses , and acanthus - leaf decoration -- but had also developed many very different characteristics . In Southern France , Spain and Italy there was an architectural continuity with the Late Antique , but the Romanesque style was the first style to spread across the whole of Catholic Europe , from Sicily to Scandinavia . Romanesque art was also greatly influenced by Byzantine art , especially in painting , and by the anti-classical energy of the decoration of the Insular art of the British Isles . From these elements was forged a highly innovative and coherent style . Contents ( hide ) 1 Characteristics 2 Background 3 Sculpture 3.1 Metalwork , enamels , and ivories 3.2 Architectural sculpture 3.2. 1 Sources and style 3.2. 2 Subject matter 3.2. 3 Late Romanesque sculpture 4 Painting 4.1 Manuscript illumination 4.2 Wall painting 5 Other visual arts 5.1 Embroidery 5.2 Stained glass 6 See also 7 Notes 8 References 9 External links Characteristics ( edit ) Outside Romanesque architecture , the art of the period was characterised by a very vigorous style in both sculpture and painting . The latter continued to follow essentially Byzantine iconographic models for the most common subjects in churches , which remained Christ in Majesty , the Last Judgement and scenes from the Life of Christ . In illuminated manuscripts , for which the most lavishly decorated manuscripts of the period were mostly bibles or psalters , more originality is seen , as new scenes needed to be depicted . The same applied to the capitals of columns , never more exciting than in this period , when they were often carved with complete scenes with several figures . The large wooden crucifix was a German innovation at the very start of the period , as were free - standing statues of the enthroned Madonna , but the high relief was above all the sculptural mode of the period . Master of Pedret , The Virgin and Child in Majesty and the Adoration of the Magi , apse fresco from Tredòs , Val d'Aran , Catalonia , Spain , c. 1100 , now at The Cloisters in New York City . Colours , which can be seen as bright in the 21st century only in stained glass and well - preserved manuscripts , tended to be very striking , and mostly primary . Stained glass became widely used , although survivals are sadly few . In an invention of the period , the tympanums of important church portals were carved with monumental schemes , often again Christ in Majesty or the Last Judgement , but treated with more freedom than painted versions , as there were no equivalent Byzantine models . Compositions usually had little depth , and needed to be flexible to be squeezed into the shapes of historiated initials , column capitals , and church tympanums ; the tension between a tightly enclosing frame , from which the composition sometimes escapes , is a recurrent theme in Romanesque art . Figures still often varied in size in relation to their importance , and landscape backgrounds , if attempted at all , were closer to abstract decorations than realism - as in the trees in the `` Morgan Leaf '' . Portraiture hardly existed . Background ( edit ) During this period Europe grew steadily more prosperous , and art of the highest quality was no longer confined , as it largely was in the Carolingian and Ottonian periods , to the royal court and a small circle of monasteries . Monasteries continued to be extremely important , especially those of the expansionist new orders of the period , the Cistercian , Cluniac , and Carthusian , which spread across Europe . But city churches , those on pilgrimage routes , and many churches in small towns and villages were elaborately decorated to a very high standard - these are often the structures to have survived , when cathedrals and city churches have been rebuilt . No Romanesque royal palace has really survived . The lay artist was becoming a valued figure -- Nicholas of Verdun seems to have been known across the continent . Most masons and goldsmiths were now lay , and lay painters such as Master Hugo seem to have been in the majority , at least of those doing the best work , by the end of the period . The iconography of their church work was no doubt arrived at in consultation with clerical advisors . Sculpture ( edit ) Metalwork , enamels , and ivories ( edit ) Stavelot Triptych , Mosan , Belgium , c. 1156 -- 58 . 48 × 66 cm with wings open , Morgan Library , New York Precious objects in these media had a very high status in the period , probably much more so than paintings -- the names of more makers of these objects are known than those of contemporary than painters , illuminators or architect - masons . Metalwork , including decoration in enamel , became very sophisticated . Many spectacular shrines made to hold relics have survived , of which the best known is the Shrine of the Three Kings at Cologne Cathedral by Nicholas of Verdun and others ( ca 1180 -- 1225 ) . The Stavelot Triptych and Reliquary of St. Maurus are other examples of Mosan enamelwork . Large reliquaries and altar frontals were built around a wooden frame , but smaller caskets were all metal and enamel . A few secular pieces , such as mirror cases , jewellery and clasps have survived , but these no doubt under - represent the amount of fine metalwork owned by the nobility . The Gloucester candlestick , early 12th century The bronze Gloucester candlestick and the brass font of 1108 -- 17 now in Liège are superb examples , very different in style , of metal casting . The former is highly intricate and energetic , drawing on manuscript painting , while the font shows the Mosan style at its most classical and majestic . The bronze doors , a triumphal column and other fittings at Hildesheim Cathedral , the Gniezno Doors , and the doors of the Basilica di San Zeno in Verona are other substantial survivals . The aquamanile , a container for water to wash with , appears to have been introduced to Europe in the 11th century . Artisans often gave the pieces fantastic zoomorphic forms ; surviving examples are mostly in brass . Many wax impressions from impressive seals survive on charters and documents , although Romanesque coins are generally not of great aesthetic interest . The Cloisters Cross is an unusually large ivory crucifix , with complex carving including many figures of prophets and others , which has been attributed to one of the relatively few artists whose name is known , Master Hugo , who also illuminated manuscripts . Like many pieces it was originally partly coloured . The Lewis chessmen are well - preserved examples of small ivories , of which many pieces or fragments remain from croziers , plaques , pectoral crosses and similar objects . Architectural sculpture ( edit ) The tympanum of Vézelay Abbey , Burgundy , France , 1130s , has much decorative spiral detail in the draperies . With the fall of the Roman Empire , the tradition of carving large works in stone and sculpting figures in bronze died out , as it effectively did ( for religious reasons ) in the Byzantine world . Some life - size sculpture was evidently done in stucco or plaster , but surviving examples are understandably rare . The best - known surviving large sculptural work of Proto - Romanesque Europe is the life - size wooden Crucifix commissioned by Archbishop Gero of Cologne in about 960 -- 65 , apparently the prototype of what became a popular form . These were later set up on a beam below the chancel arch , known in English as a rood , from the twelfth century accompanied by figures of the Virgin Mary and John the Evangelist to the sides . During the 11th and 12th centuries , figurative sculpture strongly revived , and architectural reliefs are a hallmark of the later Romanesque period . Sources and style ( edit ) Figurative sculpture was based on two other sources in particular , manuscript illumination and small - scale sculpture in ivory and metal . The extensive friezes sculpted on Armenian and Syriac churches have been proposed as another likely influence . These sources together produced a distinct style which can be recognised across Europe , although the most spectacular sculptural projects are concentrated in South - Western France , Northern Spain and Italy . Man and confronted animals , Cahors Cathedral Images that occurred in metalwork were frequently embossed . The resultant surface had two main planes and details that were usually incised . This treatment was adapted to stone carving and is seen particularly in the tympanum above the portal , where the imagery of Christ in Majesty with the symbols of the Four Evangelists is drawn directly from the gilt covers of medieval Gospel Books . This style of doorway occurs in many places and continued into the Gothic period . A rare survival in England is that of the `` Prior 's Door '' at Ely Cathedral . In South - Western France , many have survived , with impressive examples at Saint - Pierre , Moissac , Souillac , and La Madeleine , Vézelay -- all daughter houses of Cluny , with extensive other sculpture remaining in cloisters and other buildings . Nearby , Autun Cathedral has a Last Judgement of great rarity in that it has uniquely been signed by its creator , Giselbertus . A feature of the figures in manuscript illumination is that they often occupy confined spaces and are contorted to fit . The custom of artists to make the figure fit the available space lent itself to a facility in designing figures to ornament door posts and lintels and other such architectural surfaces . The robes of painted figures were commonly treated in a flat and decorative style that bore little resemblance to the weight and fall of actual cloth . This feature was also adapted for sculpture . Among the many examples that exist , one of the finest is the figure of the Prophet Jeremiah from the pillar of the portal of the Abbey of Saint - Pierre , Moissac , France , from about 1130 . One of the most significant motifs of Romanesque design , occurring in both figurative and non-figurative sculpture is the spiral . One of the sources may be Ionic capitals . Scrolling vines were a common motif of both Byzantine and Roman design , and may be seen in mosaic on the vaults of the 4th century Church of Santa Costanza , Rome . Manuscripts and architectural carvings of the 12th century have very similar scrolling vine motifs . This capital of Christ washing the feet of his Apostles has strong narrative qualities in the interaction of the figures . Another source of the spiral is clearly the illuminated manuscripts of the 7th to 9th centuries , particularly Irish manuscripts such as the St. Gall Gospel Book , spread into Europe by the Hiberno - Scottish mission . In these illuminations the use of the spiral has nothing to do with vines or other plant forms . The motif is abstract and mathematical . The style was then picked up in Carolingian art and given a more botanical character . It is in an adaptation of this form that the spiral occurs in the draperies of both sculpture and stained glass windows . Of all the many examples that occur on Romanesque portals , one of the most outstanding is that of the central figure of Christ at La Madeleine , Vezelay . Another influence from Insular art are engaged and entwined animals , often used to superb effect in capitals ( as at Silos ) and sometimes on a column itself ( as at Moissac ) . Much of the treatment of paired , confronted and entwined animals in Romanesque decoration has similar Insular origins , as do animals whose bodies tail into purely decorative shapes . ( Despite the adoption of Hiberno - Saxon traditions into Romanesque styles in England and on the continent , the influence was primarily one - way . Irish art during this period remained isolated , developing a unique amalgam of native Irish and Viking styles which would be slowly extinguished and replaced by mainstream Romanesque style in the early 13th century following the Anglo - Norman invasion of Ireland . ) Judas Iscariot hangs himself , assisted by devils , always a favourite subject of carvers . Autun Cathedral Subject matter ( edit ) Most Romanesque sculpture is pictorial and biblical in subject . A great variety of themes are found on capitals and include scenes of Creation and the Fall of Man , episodes from the life of Christ and those Old Testament scenes which prefigure his Death and Resurrection , such as Jonah and the Whale and Daniel in the lions ' den . Many Nativity scenes occur , the theme of the Three Kings being particularly popular . The cloisters of Santo Domingo de Silos Abbey in Northern Spain , and Moissac are fine examples surviving complete , as are the relief sculptures on the many Tournai fonts found in churches in southern England , France and Belgium . A feature of some Romanesque churches is the extensive sculptural scheme which covers the area surrounding the portal or , in some case , much of the facade . Angouleme Cathedral in France has a highly elaborate scheme of sculpture set within the broad niches created by the arcading of the facade . In the Spanish region of Catalonia , an elaborate pictorial scheme in low relief surrounds the door of the church of Santa Maria at Ripoll . Around the upper wall of the chancel at the Abbaye d'Arthous , Landes , France , are small figures depicting lust , intemperance and a Barbary ape , symbol of human depravity . The purpose of the sculptural schemes was to convey a message that the Christian believer should recognize wrongdoing , repent and be redeemed . The Last Judgement reminds the believer to repent . The carved or painted Crucifix , displayed prominently within the church , reminds the sinner of redemption . Ouroboros , single and in pairs at Kilpeck , England Often the sculpture is alarming in form and in subject matter . These works are found on capitals , corbels and bosses , or entwined in the foliage on door mouldings . They represent forms that are not easily recognizable today . Common motifs include Sheela na Gig , fearsome demons , ouroboros or dragons swallowing their tails , and many other mythical creatures with obscure meaning . Spirals and paired motifs originally had special significance in oral tradition that has been lost or rejected by modern scholars . The Seven Deadly Sins including lust , gluttony and avarice are also frequently represented . The appearance of many figures with oversized genitals can be equated with carnal sin , and so can the numerous figures shown with protruding tongues , which are a feature of the doorway of Lincoln Cathedral . Pulling one 's beard was a symbol of masturbation , and pulling one 's mouth wide open was also a sign of lewdity . A common theme found on capitals of this period is a tongue poker or beard stroker being beaten by his wife or seized by demons . Demons fighting over the soul of a wrongdoer such as a miser is another popular subject . Pórtico da Gloria , Santiago Cathedral . The colouring once common to much Romanesque sculpture has been preserved . Late Romanesque sculpture ( edit ) Gothic architecture is usually considered to begin with the design of the choir at the Abbey of Saint - Denis , north of Paris , by the Abbot Suger , consecrated 1144 . The beginning of Gothic sculpture is usually dated a little later , with the carving of the figures around the Royal Portal at Chartres Cathedral , France , 1150 -- 55 . The style of sculpture spread rapidly from Chartres , overtaking the new Gothic architecture . In fact , many churches of the late Romanesque period post-date the building at Saint - Denis . The sculptural style based more upon observation and naturalism than on formalised design developed rapidly . It is thought that one reason for the rapid development of naturalistic form was a growing awareness of Classical remains in places where they were most numerous and a deliberate imitation of their style . The consequence is that there are doorways which are Romanesque in form , and yet show a naturalism associated with Early Gothic sculpture . One of these is the Pórtico da Gloria dating from 1180 , at Santiago de Compostela . This portal is internal and is particularly well preserved , even retaining colour on the figures and indicating the gaudy appearance of much architectural decoration which is now perceived as monochrome . Around the doorway are figures who are integrated with the colonnettes that make the mouldings of the doors . They are three - dimensional , but slightly flattened . They are highly individualised , not only in appearance but also expression and bear quite strong resemblance to those around the north porch of the Abbey of St. Denis , dating from 1170 . Beneath the tympanum there is a realistically carved row of figures playing a range of different and easily identifiable musical instruments . Painting ( edit ) The Three Magi from the St. Albans Psalter , English , 12th century . Manuscript illumination ( edit ) A number of regional schools converged in the early Romanesque illuminated manuscript : the `` Channel school '' of England and Northern France was heavily influenced by late Anglo - Saxon art , whereas in Southern France the style depended more on Iberian influence , and in Germany and the Low Countries , Ottonian styles continued to develop , and also , along with Byzantine styles , influenced Italy . By the 12th century there had been reciprocal influences between all these , although naturally regional distinctiveness remained . The typical focii of Romanesque illumination were the Bible , where each book could be prefaced by a large historiated initial , and the Psalter , where major initials were similarly illuminated . In both cases more lavish examples might have cycles of scenes in fully illuminated pages , sometimes with several scenes per page , in compartments . The Bibles in particular often had a , and might be bound into more than one volume . Examples include the St. Albans Psalter , Hunterian Psalter , Winchester Bible ( the `` Morgan Leaf '' shown above ) , Fécamp Bible , Stavelot Bible , and Parc Abbey Bible . By the end of the period lay commercial workshops of artists and scribes were becoming significant , and illumination , and books generally , became more widely available to both laity and clergy . Wall painting ( edit ) Life of St. Eldrado , abbot . 11th century fresco in Novalesa Abbey Apse of Sant Climent de Taüll , a Spanish fresco by the Master of Taüll , now in Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya . The large wall surfaces and plain , curving vaults of the Romanesque period lent themselves to mural decoration . Unfortunately , many of these early wall paintings have been destroyed by damp or the walls have been replastered and painted over . In England , France and the Netherlands such pictures were systematically destroyed or whitewashed in bouts of Reformation iconoclasm . In Denmark and elsewhere many have since been restored . In Catalonia ( Spain ) , there was a campaign to save such murals in the early 20th century ( as of 1907 ) by removing them and transferring them to safekeeping in Barcelona , resulting in the spectacular collection at the National Art Museum of Catalonia . In other countries they have suffered from war , neglect and changing fashion . A classic scheme for the full painted decoration of a church , derived from earlier examples often in mosaic , had , as its focal point in the semi-dome of the apse , Christ in Majesty or Christ the Redeemer enthroned within a mandorla and framed by the four winged beasts , symbols of the Four Evangelists , comparing directly with examples from the gilt covers or the illuminations of Gospel Books of the period . If the Virgin Mary was the dedicatee of the church , she might replace Christ here . On the apse walls below would be saints and apostles , perhaps including narrative scenes , for example of the saint to whom the church was dedicated . On the sanctuary arch were figures of apostles , prophets or the twenty - four `` elders of the Apocalypse '' , looking in towards a bust of Christ , or his symbol the Lamb , at the top of the arch . The north wall of the nave would contain narrative scenes from the Old Testament , and the south wall from the New Testament . On the rear west wall would be a Last Judgement , with an enthroned and judging Christ at the top . The painted crypt of San Isidoro at León , Spain One of the most intact schemes to exist is that at Saint - Savin - sur - Gartempe in France . The long barrel vault of the nave provides an excellent surface for fresco , and is decorated with scenes of the Old Testament , showing the Creation , the Fall of Man and other stories including a lively depiction of Noah 's Ark complete with a fearsome figurehead and numerous windows through with can be seen the Noah and his family on the upper deck , birds on the middle deck , while on the lower are the pairs of animals . Another scene shows with great vigour the swamping of Pharaoh 's army by the Red Sea . The scheme extends to other parts of the church , with the martyrdom of the local saints shown in the crypt , and Apocalypse in the narthex and Christ in Majesty . The range of colours employed is limited to light blue - green , yellow ochre , reddish brown and black . Similar paintings exist in Serbia , Spain , Germany , Italy and elsewhere in France . The now - dispersed paintings from Arlanza in the Province of Burgos , Spain , though from a monastery , are secular in subject - matter , showing huge and vigorous mythical beasts above a frieze in black and white with other creatures . They give a rare idea of what decorated Romanesque palaces would have contained . Stained glass , the Prophet Daniel from Augsburg Cathedral , late 11th century . Other visual arts ( edit ) Embroidery ( edit ) Romanesque embroidery is best known from the Bayeux Tapestry , but many more closely worked pieces of Opus Anglicanum ( `` English work '' - considered the finest in the West ) and other styles have survived , mostly as church vestments . Stained glass ( edit ) The oldest - known fragments of medieval pictorial stained glass appear to date from the 10th century . The earliest intact figures are five prophet windows at Augsburg , dating from the late 11th century . The figures , though stiff and formalised , demonstrate considerable proficiency in design , both pictorially and in the functional use of the glass , indicating that their maker was well accustomed to the medium . At Le Mans , Canterbury and Chartres Cathedrals , and Saint - Denis , a number of panels of the 12th century have survived . At Canterbury these include a figure of Adam digging , and another of his son Seth from a series of Ancestors of Christ . Adam represents a highly naturalistic and lively portrayal , while in the figure of Seth , the robes have been used to great decorative effect , similar to the best stone carving of the period . Glass craftsmen were slower than architects to change their style , and much glass from at least the first part of the 13th century can be considered as essentially Romanesque . Especially fine are large figures of 1200 from Strasbourg Cathedral ( some now removed to the museum ) and of about 1220 from Saint Kunibert 's Church in Cologne . Most of the magnificent stained glass of France , including the famous windows of Chartres , date from the 13th century . Far fewer large windows remain intact from the 12th century . One such is the Crucifixion of Poitiers , a remarkable composition which rises through three stages , the lowest with a quatrefoil depicting the Martyrdom of St Peter , the largest central stage dominated by the crucifixion and the upper stage showing the Ascension of Christ in a mandorla . The figure of the crucified Christ is already showing the Gothic curve . The window is described by George Seddon as being of `` unforgettable beauty '' . Many detached fragments are in museums , and a window at Twycross Church in England is made up of important French panels rescued from the French Revolution . Glass was both expensive and fairly flexible ( in that it could be added to or re-arranged ) and seems to have been often re-used when churches were rebuilt in the Gothic style - the earliest datable English glass , a panel in York Minster from a Tree of Jesse probably of before 1154 , has been recycled in this way .
