BACKGROUND
The United Kingdom has historically played a leading role in developing
parliamentary democracy and in advancing literature and science. At its zenith in the
19th century, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of the earth's surface. The
first half of the 20th century saw the UK's strength seriously depleted in two world
wars and the Irish Republic's withdrawal from the union. The second half witnessed
the dismantling of the Empire and the UK rebuilding itself into a modern and
prosperous European nation. As one of five permanent members of the UN Security
Council and a founding member of NATO and the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a
global approach to foreign policy. The UK is also an active member of the EU,
although it chose to remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union. The Scottish
Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly
were established in 1999. The latter was suspended until May 2007 due to wrangling
over the peace process, but devolution was fully completed in March 2010.

RECENT EVENT
The United Kingdom declined to attack with The U.S. on Syria based on it’s nuclear
weapons because of the massacre in Damascus, Syria. The U.K. was not sure if
Syrians were using nuclear weapons so Prime Minister David Cameron declined U.S.
request. The U.S. still doesn't now if they should attack or not because so far there
hasn’t been enough evidence to prove that the Syrians used Nuclear Weapons. The
U.S. is still investigating until there is enough evidence for them to prove that the
Syrians used nuclear weapons.

BIG BEN
Big Ben is the name of the clock
inside the famous tower that also
forms part of the Houses of
Parliament . Its impressive
mechanism weighs in at over 13.5
tons, and the pendulum, which
beats once every two seconds, is 13
feet (4 meters) long and weighs 690
pounds. The clock was named Big
Ben after the First Commissioner of
Works, and since 1885 a light above
it has been lit while the House of
Commons is in session. Residents
can schedule a time to climb the
clock tower. Unfortunately, noncitizens are not permitted to climb
the clock tower.

TOWER BRIGE
Designed by Sir Horace Jones and
opened in 1894, Tower Bridge is famous
the world over. Due to the volume of
river traffic at the time, Tower Bridge
was designed to have twin bascules that
could be raised. This famous landmark
also has fabulous views over the Tower
of London and of river life on the
Thames. Visitors can ascend by the
North Tower and traverse the river
protected from the erratic English
elements in an enclosed walkway before
descending by the South Tower.
