FANTACC_Europe 0.5
Description:
European culture is the root of Western civilization, which traces its lineage back to ancient Greece and ancient Rome. The fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD and the subsequent Migration Period marked the end of Europe's ancient history and the beginning of the Middle Ages. Renaissance humanism, exploration, art and science led to the modern era. Since the Age of Discovery, started by Portugal and Spain, Europe played a predominant role in global affairs. Between the 16th and 20th centuries, European powers colonized at various times the Americas, almost all of Africa and Oceania, and the majority of Asia.

FANTACC_Eastern Europe
Description:
Eastern Europe is a subregion of the European continent. As a largely ambiguous term, it has a wide range of geopolitical, geographical, ethnic, cultural, and socio-economic connotations. The region stretches from the Ural Mountains in the east to the borders of Poland and Romania. Most definitions include the countries of Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine while less restrictive definitions also include Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania and Slovakia.
It represents a significant part of European culture; the main socio-cultural characteristics of Eastern Europe have historically been defined by the traditions of Slavs and Greeks, as well as by the influence of Eastern Christianity as it developed through the Eastern Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire. Another definition was created by the Cold War, as Europe was ideologically divided by the Iron Curtain, with "Eastern Europe" being synonymous with communist states constituting the Eastern Bloc under the influence of the Soviet Union.

FANTACC_Africa (north of the equator) 2.0
Description:
Africa’s first great historical kingdom, Egypt, arose along the Nile c. 3000 BCE and flourished for nearly 3,000 years. The Phoenicians established a colony at Carthage and controlled the western Mediterranean for nearly 600 years. While northern Africa was dominated by the Romans for several centuries, the first known empire in western Africa was Ghana (5th–11th century CE). Muslim empires included those of Mali (c. 1250–1400) and Songhai (c. 1400–1591). In eastern and central Africa the emphasis was on trade with Arabia, and several powerful city-states, including Mogadishu and Mombasa, were established. The Portuguese explored the western coast in the 15th century. Before the late 19th century, Europe showed little interest in colonizing Africa, but by 1884 European countries had begun a scramble to partition the continent, and by 1920 much of it was under colonial rule. Anticolonial sentiment developed gradually, becoming widespread after 1950, and one byone the colonies becameindependent, the last in 1990. Political instability, refugee problems, famine, and #### are the chief problems facing the continent in the early 21st century.

FANTACC_Southeast Asia 2.0
Description:
Southeast Asia is the southeastern subregion of Asia.Since around 100 BCE the Southeast Asian archipelago occupied a central position at the crossroads of the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea trading routes which immensely stimulated the economy and the influx of ideas promoted societal organisation and advance. Most local trading polities selectively adopted Indian Hindu elements of statecraft, religion, culture and administration during the early centuries of the common era, which marked the beginning of recorded history and the continuation of a characteristic cultural development. Chinese culture diffused more indirectly and sporadic as trade was based on land routes like the Silk Road. Long periods of Chinese isolationism and political relations that were confined to ritualistic tribute procedures prevented deep acculturation.

FANTACC_South Asia 2.0
Description:
The Indian region has a long history and is one of the earliest civilizations in the world. The Indus River is the birthplace of its ancient Indian civilization. After the demise of the ancient Indian civilization, the Aryans entered the Indian region and culturally combined with the locals to create the classic Vedic culture. In the middle of the 3rd century BC, King Ashoka, the king of the Mauryan Dynasty, unified the Indian peninsula, but after him, India entered a long-term era of nations, and the history of the north and the south was also different. In the 8th century AD, the Arab Empire began to invade India and introduced Islamic culture. Muslims eventually established the Mughal Empire in India. At the end of the 15th century, Western colonists from across the sea flocked to India. After World War II, India launched a non-cooperative movement against Britain. After independence, a five-year plan for economic development was formulated. Post-Cold War economic liberalizationin India has expanded dramatically over the past decade.

FANTACC_Bering
Description:
The Bering Strait (Russian: Берингов пролив Beringov proliv) is a formidable sea strait linking the icy Arctic Ocean with the Bering Sea. It separates the continents of Asia and North America at their closest point; Cape Dezhnev, Russia and Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska. The latitude is approximately 65° 40' north, slightly south of the polar circle. The boundary between the United States and Russia extends through the strait. While the Strait's narrowest point is about 53 miles (85 km) wide, two islands in its center, Little Diomede (U.S.) and Big Diomede (Russia), bring the distance of these two nations only 2.5 (4 km) miles apart at their closest point. Although the Cossack Semyon Dezhnev sailed through the strait in 1648, it is named after Vitus Bering, a Danish-born Russian explorer who crossed the strait in 1728. It is believed that there was a land bridge during the last Ice Age which allowed the crossing of man and mammal from Asia to the North American continent. Its crossing in recent history has been limited; during the Cold War years, it was known as the "Ice Curtain" border.

FANTACC_Canada
Description:
The beginnings of Canada date back to the ice age, when it was land-based. The indigenous people are said to be Indians who crossed the New World 40,000 years ago, and this era is called "First Nations".
Later, in the 15th century, it was the Italian explorer John Cabot and the French explorer Jacques Cartier who allegedly discovered Canada in Western history. In the 16th century, France established the colony New France, but the conflict with Britain, which had expanded its colony to the United States, intensified.
As a result of the conflict, the Treaty of Paris in 1763 brought it under British control for about 100 years as a British colony.
The independence was triggered by the War of 1812 in the United States and Britain. Then, in 1885, the transcontinental railroad was completed and the present Canada was born. After World War I, diplomatic rights were granted and Canada gained independence.

FANTACC_America
Description:
The original inhabitants of North America were Indians. From the 16th to the 18th century, Western European countries that were carrying out primitive accumulation of capital successively invaded North America. By the mid-18th century, thirteen colonies had been established along the Atlantic coast of North America, and the colonies were relatively mature economically, culturally, and politically.From 1776 to 1783, thirteen states in North America won the Revolutionary War under the leadership of Washington. After the United States became independent, it actively expanded its territory, and the United States gradually expanded from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast. From 1861 to 1865, the war between the South and the North of the United States, also known as the American Civil War. In the end, the bourgeoisie led by the north won the victory and unified the country.The reconstruction period began in 1865, and slavery was gradually abolished. In 1877, the southern part was democratically reconstructed, and the democratic progressive decree was formulated, marking the end of the democratic reconstruction.
Later, the United States completed the Industrial Revolution and its economic strength increased greatly. The two world wars established the United States' hegemony in the capitalist world. After the Cold War began in 1947, the world was divided equally with the Soviet Union.After the Cold War ended in 1991, the United States became the world's sole superpower.

FANTACC_Caribbean
Description:
The word "Caribbean" comes from the Caribs, who were one of the dominant Native American populations when Europeans arrived in the region at the end of the 15th century. In 1492, Christopher Columbus discovered the West Indies, and the Spanish name "antilles" was used to refer to these islands, and thus "antilles" became the Caribbean Sea in some European languages. alternative name for . For the next century, Spain held absolute hegemony.For a long time, the Caribbean was a completely unknown sea area for Eurasian civilizations until Columbus entered this area in 1492 while trying to discover the Asian route. At this time, much of the Western Hemisphere was unknown to Europeans. After Columbus discovered the Caribbean Islands, the area was quickly colonized by Western civilizations (initially Spain, then Portugal, England, Holland, France, and Denmark). As a result, the Caribbean Sea became a key location for European maritime and maritime trade, and eventually attracted pirates.

FANTACC_Amazon 2.0
Description:
The America "discovered" by Magellan in 1492 was not a barren land. Native American civilizations, centered in Mexico and Peru, flourished for hundreds of years and built magnificent cities. In the 16th century, the Spanish destroyed the Aztec and Inca empires and inherited their power and wealth. From that time on, they came to the New World in search of wealth, land, or freedom. Large numbers of black people were traded onto the land as slaves to make up for the labor shortage in colonial agriculture. The wave of American independence from the late 18th to the 19th century brought about the initial "split" of America. The American Revolution of Independence was successful, and it quickly established a unified and democratic national system and began to expand into its western interior. However, after independence, many Latin American countries fell into dictatorship, secession, civil war, or economic stagnation.

FANTACC_Japan
Description:
Buddhism came to Japan during the Asuka period, 538-710, as did the Chinese writing system. At this time, society was divided into clans. The first strong central government developed during the Nara period (710-794). The aristocratic class practiced Buddhism and Chinese calligraphy, while agricultural villagers followed Shintoism.
Japan's unique culture developed rapidly during the Heian era (794-1185). The imperial court turned out enduring art, poetry, and prose. The samurai warrior class developed at this time as well.
Samurai lords, called "shogun," took over the government in 1185, and ruled Japan in the name of the emperor until 1868. The Kamakura Shogunate (1185-1333) ruled much of Japan from Kyoto. Aided by two miraculous typhoons, the Kamakura repelled attacks by Mongol armadas in 1274 and 1281.A particularly strong emperor, Go-Daigo, tried to overthrow the shogunate in 1331, resulting in a civil war between competing northern and southern courts that finally ended in 1392. During this time, a class of strong regional lords called "daimyo" increased in power; their rule lasted through the end of the Edo period, also known as the Tokugawa Shogunate, in 1868.That year, a new constitutional monarchy was established, headed by the Meiji Emperor. The power of the shoguns came to an end.After the Meiji Emperor's death, the emperor's son became the Taisho Emperor. His chronic illnesses kept him away from his duties and allowed the country's legislature to introduce new democratic reforms. During World War I, Japan formalized its rule over Korea and seized control of northern China.The Showa Emperor, Hirohito, oversaw Japan's aggressive expansion during World War II, its surrender, and its rebirth as a modern, industrialized nation.

FANTACC_Australasia 2.0
Description:
In the late 19th century, the term Australasia was used in reference to the "Australasian colonies". In this sense it related specifically to the British colonies south of Asia: New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Western Australia, Victoria (i.e., the Australian colonies) and New Zealand.
Australasia found continued geopolitical attention in the early 20th century. Historian Hansong Li finds that against the backdrop of British colonialism, German geopoliticians considered "Australasia" as a counterweight to the former German South Sea Edge (Südseerand), both of which form the "Indo-Pacific" region.
The New Zealand Oxford Dictionary gives two meanings of "Australasia". One, especially in Australian use, is "Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, and the neighbouring islands of the Pacific". The other, especially in New Zealand use, is just Australia and New Zealand.
Two Merriam-Webster dictionaries online (Collegiate and Unabridged) define Australasia as "Australia, New Zealand, and Melanesia". The American Heritage Dictionary online recognizes two senses in use: one more precise, being similar to the aforementioned senses,[clarification needed] and the other broader, loosely covering all of Oceania.

FANTACC_OLd World
FANTACC_OLd World
In the context of archaeology and world history, the term "Old World" includes those parts of the world which were in (indirect) cultural contact from the Bronze Age onwards, resulting in the parallel development of the early civilizations, mostly in the temperate zone between roughly the 45th and 25th parallels north, in the area of the Mediterranean, including North Africa. It also included Mesopotamia, the Persian plateau, the Indian subcontinent, China, and parts of Sub-Saharan Africa.
These regions were connected via the Silk Road trade route, and they had a pronounced Iron Age period following the Bronze Age. In cultural terms, the Iron Age was accompanied by the so-called Axial Age, referring to cultural, philosophical and religious developments eventually leading to the emergence of the historical Western (Hellenism, "classical"), Near Eastern (Zoroastrian and Abrahamic) and Far Eastern (Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Confucianism, Taoism) cultural spheres.

FANTACC_Polynesia Map Pack 1.6
Description:
Polynesia is a subregion of Oceania, made up of more than 1,000 islands scattered over the central and southern Pacific Ocean. The indigenous people who inhabit the islands of Polynesia are called Polynesians. They have many things in common, including language relatedness, cultural practices, and traditional beliefs. In centuries past, they had a strong shared tradition of sailing and using stars to navigate at night.
The term Polynésie was first used in 1756 by the French writer Charles de Brosses, who originally applied it to all the islands of the Pacific. In 1831, Jules Dumont d'Urville proposed a narrower definition during a lecture at the Société de Géographie of Paris. By tradition, the islands located in the southern Pacific have also often been called the South Sea Islands, and their inhabitants have been called South Sea Islanders. The Hawaiian Islands have often been considered to be part of the South Sea Islands because of their relative proximity to the southern Pacific islands, even though they are in fact located in the North Pacific. Another term in use, which avoids this inconsistency, is "the Polynesian Triangle" (from the shape created by the layout of the islands in the Pacific Ocean). This term makes clear that the grouping includes the Hawaiian Islands, which are located at the northern vertex of the referenced "triangle".

FANTACC_Atlantis
Description:
Atlantis (Ancient Greek: Ἀτλαντὶς νῆσος, romanized: Atlantìs nêsos, lit. 'island of Atlas') is a fictional island mentioned in Plato's works Timaeus and Critias as part of an allegory on the hubris of nations. In the story, Atlantis is described as a naval empire that ruled all Western parts of the known world,making it the literary counter-image of the Achaemenid Empire.After an ill-fated attempt to conquer "Ancient Athens," Atlantis falls out of favor with the deities and submerges into the Atlantic Ocean. Since Plato describes Athens as resembling his ideal state in the Republic, the Atlantis story is meant to bear witness to the superiority of his concept of a state.
