The Development of Cities

[Kingmaker]

HiHi

Well there you go Rune you now have another factor to add to a fairly long list of why the Hanseatic League declined , and yes I was aware of the Protestant element, but I wasn’t trying to write a dissertation on the Rise & Fall of ‘the Hanseatic league’; my aim was merely to suggest that History isn’t just about Blokes in size 15 Hobnailed boots with big Wobbly sticks and their leaders going round doing ”Stuff”.

In using Water as an element (no pun intended) I could well have chosen the Cinque Ports as an eg of how Economic growth & Stability was altered by Water rather than said Blokes in size 15’s, or maybe the Economic growth of the Fenlands of East Anglia through land reclamation etc. etc. etc. As Eugene has suggested the study of History can encompass more than just big names & big armies.

Jason who do you think I am, William Gladstone!!!? :rolleyes:

All the Best
