Re: 900 History, geography, and auxiliary disciplines: Selected topics This exhibit provides updates to several countries of Central America, South America, and Central Europe. The intention is to provide subdivisions for recent history based on political administrations where feasible. Except for special circumstances, 2006 was used as the cut-off date for named administrations in captions. Unqualified number spans are used for administrations that came into power after 2006.

The current caption for 972.8204 that was created in Edition 20 is not entirely appropriate, as Belize remained a British colony through 1981, although from 1964 to 1981, Belize (British Honduras until 1973) was a self-governing colony. It is proposed to include this period in 972.8204 where it should have been in the first place. There are currently 24 works classed in 972.8205 in WorldCat, 21 of which are not dealing with the relocated time frame, either because they have a Dewey number that came from Edition 19 (when this class covered the entire 20th century), are more recent works about contemporary Belize after 1989 (when the class was changed to cover 1964 3 to present), or are misclassed. Only three works appear to be specifically about topics from the 1964–1981 period. 972.820 4 Period as a British colony, 1862–19631981 Including period as self-governing colony, 1964–1981 [formerly 972.8205] Class here 20th century For 19641981–1999, see 972.8205 972.820 5 19641981– 1964–1981 relocated to 972.820 4 972.83 Honduras After 25 years of mostly military regimes, a civilian government came to power in 1982.
