Question: When did the people who had strong support in Posen come to the area that was the middle leg of the journey from england to africa to the americas?

For example, from the main trading nations of Western Europe it was much easier to sail westwards after first going south of 30 N latitude and reaching the so - called ``trade winds ''; thus arriving in the Caribbean rather than going straight west to the North American mainland. Historically the particular routes were also shaped by the powerful influence of winds and currents during the age of sail. Returning from North America, it is easiest to follow the Gulf Stream in a northeasterly direction using the westerlies. A similar triangle to this, called the volta do mar was already being used by the Portuguese, before Christopher Columbus' voyage, to sail to the Canary Islands and the Azores. Columbus simply expanded the triangle outwards, and his route became the main way for Europeans to reach, and return from, the Americas. <SEP> In the Prussian province of Posen, with a large Polish population, there was strong support for the French and angry demonstrations at news of Prussian-German victories—a clear manifestation of Polish nationalist feeling. Calls were also made for Polish recruits to desert from the Prussian Army—though these went mainly unheeded. An alarming report on the Posen situation, sent to Bismarck on 16 August 1870, led to the quartering of reserve troop contingents in the restive province. The Franco-Prussian War thus turned out to be a significant event also in German–Polish relations, marking the beginning of a prolonged period of repressive measures by the authorities and efforts at Germanisation. <SEP> Belain sailed to the Caribbean in 1625, hoping to establish a French settlement on the island of St. Christopher (St. Kitts). Pierre Belain d'Esnambuc was a French trader and adventurer in the Caribbean, who established the first permanent French colony, Saint - Pierre, on the island of Martinique in 1635. In 1626 he returned to France, where he won the support of Cardinal Richelieu to establish French colonies in the region. Richelieu became a shareholder in the Compagnie de Saint - Christophe, created to accomplish this with d'Esnambuc at its head. The company was not particularly successful and Richelieu had it reorganized as the Compagnie des Îles de l'Amérique. In 1635 d'Esnambuc sailed to Martinique with one hundred French settlers to clear land for sugarcane plantations. <SEP> the story, illustrated by the author, is set in england during the middle ages, as the black death (bubonic plague) is sweeping across the country. young robin is sent away to become a knight like his father, but his dreams are endangered when he loses the use of his legs. a doctor reassures robin that the weakness in his legs is not caused by the plague and the doctor is supposed to come and help him but does not. his parents are away, serving the king and queen during war, and the servants abandon the house, fearing the plague. robin is saved by brother luke, a friar, who finds him and takes him to a monastery and cares for him. <SEP> everton have a large fanbase, with the eighth highest average attendance in the premier league in the 2008–09 season. the majority of everton's matchday support comes from the north west of england, primarily merseyside, cheshire, west lancashire and parts of western greater manchester along with many fans who travel from north wales and ireland. within the city of liverpool support for everton and city rivals liverpool is not determined by geographical basis with supporters mixed across the city. however everton's support heartland is traditionally based in the north west of the city and in the southern parts of sefton. everton also have many supporters' clubs worldwide, in places such as north america, singapore, indonesia, lebanon, malaysia, thailand, and australia. the official supporters club is foreverton, and there are also several fanzines including when skies are grey and speke from the harbour, which are sold around goodison park on match days.
