Regional Importance and Introduction:  Since the times of the Greek and Roman Empires, Europe has dominated the world.  European culture spread from the mainland of Europe to every other continent on the globe as a result of European colonization.  But what is Europe like?  What are the physical features and human characteristics that shaped Europe?  We study those physical features and human characteristics with this third unit.   In other words, we study Europe and Russia with this third unit!

Learning Target #1:  I can identify the major physical and political features of Europe and Russia.
