第一篇:英美概況---新西蘭歷史
地球上最年輕的國家
公元前十世紀,波利尼西亞人最先來到新西蘭,一直到公元12世紀,全國分布了許多定居點。
1642年,荷蘭航海家阿貝爾塔斯曼觀察到新西蘭島嶼,并以一個荷蘭的地名命名這塊土地。他繪制了部分西海岸地圖,但沒有登陸。
1769年,英國海軍船長詹姆斯庫克及其船員成為首先踏足新西蘭土地的歐洲人。隨后,捕撈海豹和鯨魚的人們來到這里。傳教士也很快跟隨而至。定居點開始逐漸建立起來。
到1840年,毛利人開始到達十萬人。大約二千名歐洲定居者分布在沿海地區(毛利人稱其為“Pakeha”意思是白人)。
新西蘭那時沒有全國政府或全國領導人。毛利人和白人團體要求英國提供某些保護以及法律和秩序。
新西蘭于1840年成為英國王室管轄的一個殖民地。新西蘭毛利部落首領于1840年2月6日簽署了《懷唐衣條約》《The Treaty of Waitangi》。該條約是毛利人和英國王室之間的協議,被視為新西蘭的建國文件。
該條約給予定居者在新西蘭的居住權。該條約亦承諾毛利人將繼續擁有他們的土地、森林和漁業資源,按照他們的意愿可以長久保持。條約談到毛利人將對土地及其生活方式自己做出決定,并且承諾組織政府以維護全體人民和和平和秩序。該條約亦承諾他們享有與英國國民同等的權利。條約簽署后,更多的人開始來到新西蘭并在這里定居。大多數人去南島定居,因為那里的土地適合耕作,并且在奧塔哥和西海岸地區發現了金礦。然而,自本世紀之交,來北島定居的人多于南島。到十九世紀八十年代,全國人口增加到五十萬,并開始建設鐵路和公路。定居者建立的農場已經成為新西蘭經濟的支柱。1893年,新西蘭成為第一個賦予婦女選舉權的國家。
1935年,新西蘭選出工黨政府,該政府進行了一系列的社會改革,其中包括每周40小時工作制以及國家撥款的衛生和福利制度。第二次世界大戰后,新西蘭的農產品需求開始增加,1950年代,全國就業迅速增長,工業空前繁榮。
1970年代到1980年代,由于對進口(特別是石油)和持續對肉類、乳制品和羊毛出口的長期依賴,新西蘭經濟開始下滑,特別是1970年代英國加入歐共體后,新西蘭開始失去其傳統的出口市場。
1980年代,工黨政府開始進行新的貨幣政策,工業解除限制,取消津貼以及將許多政府部門私有化等大范圍的改革。從此,經濟開始逐漸好轉,失業人數開始下降。
步入21世紀,全球經濟增長放緩,特別是美國經濟出現大滑坡。而新西蘭采取了良好的貨幣政策,出口和國內生產總值持續上升,勞動就業市場出現較大需求。
目前新西蘭經濟正處于平穩發展當中。

第五篇:英美概況總結
英國概況 英格蘭面積最大 蘇格蘭,愛丁堡為首府
威爾士,加的夫,Cardiff為首府 北愛爾蘭,貝爾法斯特Belfast為首府
倫敦,UK首都,皇家法庭royal courts of justice 及圣保羅大教堂st paul’s cathedral在這里。威斯敏斯特westminster,倫敦市的一個行政區,也叫西敏寺,這里有議會houses of parliament,包含大鐘樓big ben,白廳whitehall即英國政府,白金漢宮buckingham palace即英國皇宮,還有st james’ hall 圣詹姆斯宮。
The great charter in 1215,1215年大憲章,亦稱the great charter or Magna Charta,確保一些平民的政治權利與自由,保障教會不受國王的控制,改革了法律和司法,限制國王及王室官員的行為。
議會雛形,1265年,Simon de Montford 召集the Great Council在西敏寺開會,就是最早的議會,后來發展了House of Lords上議院,House of Commons下議院。
玫瑰戰爭和英國宗教改革:
Richard 三世和Henry Tudor都鐸(duduo)打了玫瑰戰爭,都鐸勝利,終成五代都鐸王朝。
亨利八世進行宗教改革,想切斷英國教會與羅馬教皇的關系,使英國教會獨立起來。宗教改革的真正進行是在亨利八世的兒子愛德華時期,新教是Protestant,即基督教,改革叫做“The Reformation”。伊麗莎白一世時期,伊麗莎白為女王統治英國,她是基督教徒,大力推行新教,從此英國都是信奉新教。
文藝復興運動 The English Renaissance 文藝復興是中世紀到現代的過渡時期,從1350-1650,有300年,從意大利發起,達芬奇等人為代表。在這段時期,羅馬教會經歷新教改革,人文主義興起,海外探索(大航海時代?)。英國內戰 The Civil Wars 是國王和議會間的戰爭,Norttingham King Charles和議會開戰,國王軍是Cavaliers(騎士),議會軍是Roundheads(圓顱黨),因為他們短發。查爾斯戰敗,克倫威爾Cromwell稱王。英國內戰又稱清教徒革命,因為國王的反對者多是清教徒Puritan。清教徒是基督教新教中的一派。這場戰爭顛覆了英國的封建制度,甚至動搖了歐洲的封建制度,被認為是世界現代史的開端。王朝復辟 The Restoration 克倫威爾死后,兒子Richard 繼位,但是統治失敗,議會選擇讓上代國王流放法國的兒子King Charles 二世回歸。光榮革命 The Glorious Revolution 奧蘭治王室(William of Orange橘子?英國的名字真搞笑),用一場不流血的政變奪了王室的權,William and Mary 共同接受了Bill of Right(1689)權利法案,英國“光榮革命”后鞏固資產階級與封建貴族聯合專政、確立君主立憲政體的憲法性文件之一。君主立憲由此開始。輝格黨和托利黨(Whigs and Tories)
兩黨名稱來自光榮革命,輝格黨就是后來的Liberal party,托利黨是Conservative party
憲章運動Chartist Movement 由于對改革法案《Reform Act》和新貧困法《New Poor Law》的不滿,工人組織了倫敦工人聯盟London Working Men’s Association,起草了人民憲章《People’s Charter》,想讓議會通過但是失敗,憲章運動是第一次全國性的工人運動。工會和工黨 Trade Unions and Labor Party 工人意識到聯合的重要性,于是工會出現,Grand National Consolidated Trade Union成立,是全國的大公會,后來Trade Union Congress 開始。殖民擴張Colonial Expansion 自1583年開始,英國在新大陸Newfoundland開始殖民統治,1900日不落帝國形成,“on which the sun never set” 君主政體
英國是君主立憲制 constitutional monarchy, 元首head of state is king or queen。Head of the commonwealth 是女王,現在是伊麗莎白二世。議會組成
House of lords 上議院 house of commons 下議院 下議院最有權力 政黨:工黨Labor Party 和Conservative Party保守黨,政黨的領導人是總理
Tony Blair是有史以來最年輕的工黨領導人,總理。
樞密院 the Privy Council,是國家執行力機構,chief source of executive power in the state,可追溯到King’s Council 司法特點:no single legal system, no complete code,法律的來源包括:statutes法令,大量的common law,equity law衡平法,european community law。二戰后英國經濟的發展
50s-60s穩定發展階段,70s經濟蕭條,80s經濟恢復:撒切爾夫人Mrs.Thatcher當選總理,推行中期財政計劃Medium-term Financial Strategy
國教established chruches:在英國church of england,在蘇格蘭church of scotland 非國教 unestablished churches:英國圣公會anglican chruches,自由教free churches,天主教roman catholic church

越南戰爭the vietnam war1950-1975(打了25年,有夠長的)為了實施對共產主義的牽制政策,the policy of containment of communism,美國與越南戰爭,結果這是美國有史以來最長的戰爭。1973年美國和北越南north vietnam簽署停火協議,cease-fire agreement。簡單來說,越南當時像朝鮮般南北分裂,南方是社會主義的,北方是當時的統治階級,南方想要解放全國,統一南北。美國橫插一腳,支持北方,搞了25年,最終還是南方的社會主義勝利,統一了全國。西貢Saigon是原來的首都,后來改名為胡志明市Ho Chi Minh City。
因為越南戰爭,美國國力下降,社會分歧,形象下降。
水門事件(Watergate scandal,或譯水門丑聞)是美國歷史上最不光彩的政治丑聞之一,其對美國本國歷史以及整個國際新聞界都有著長遠的影響,在1972年的總統大選中,為了取得民主黨內部競選策略的情報,1972年6月17日,以美國共和黨尼克松Nixon競選班子的首席安全問題顧問詹姆斯?麥科德(James W.McCord, Jr.)為首的5人闖入位于華盛頓水門大廈的民主黨全國委員會辦公室,在安裝竊聽器并偷拍有關文件時,當場被捕。由于此事,尼克松于1974年8月8日宣布將于次日辭職,從而成為美國歷史上首位辭職的總統。中美關系
