What we have been aware of is that people from Italy speak Italian and people from Russia speak Russian．But have you ever wondered the reason why people speak Spanish in so many South American countries？Do you know why the brilliant footballers of Brazil speak Portuguese？And why is French the first language of some people in Canada？ The answer is that all these countries belonged to European empires at one time．The next question is：How did these empires begin？ To answer that question we have to probably go back to the 15th and 16 centuries，the golden age of European explorers．
Although this period is known as the golden age of European explorers，it was not the beginning of European exploration．As you probably know，Marco Polo travelled a long way to China at the end of the 13 century and some people say that the Vikings discovered America long before Columbus set sail in 1492．However，it is during this "golden"period that some famous voyages took place．Columbus' voyage to America is the best known voyage of exploration，but Ferdinand Magellan sailed round the world in this period，and Spanish explorers such as Central and Pizarro reached South America． Cortez defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mesico and Pizarro defeated the Incas in what we now know as Peru． The roots of the Spanish empire were established and that is why he Spanish language is so widely spoken in Central and South America today．

It may be hard to believe，but the American Revolution（革命）﹣the war that freed the American states from British control﹣began over a cup of tea．Tea was not the only thing that caused the war，of course，but it played a very big part．
The British people's love of tea is well﹣known．When the British won control over mush of North America in the early 1700s，they brought their tea﹣drinking habits with them．Tea quickly became the continents most popular drink．As tea could not be grown locally，just as in Britain，it was shipped into the country﹣mostly from India．
In the early 1700s，the Britain government made a special deal with the East India Company，as an English trading company．They agreed that no other company was allowed to bring tea to Britain or any country controlled by Britain，including America．It was a great deal for the East India Company，since it meant that the company could decide whatever price it wanted for its products．And it always decided on a high price!
In North America，the local people did not like having to pay such high prices．Instead of overpaying for tea from the British，they turned to Dutch traders，who secretly brought tea to the country that was just as good﹣and much less expensive．Although this broke the law，the American people didn't care．They got the same cup of tea at a much lower price．
The East India Company，however，didn't like this at all．By the 1760s，they were losing millions of pounds each year to Dutch traders﹣a huge amount of money in a time when￡60a year was considered a good income．Instead of reducing their prices to compete with the Dutch，the company asked the British government for help and the government agreed．
In 1767，the British introduced new law that increased the prices of all goods which were brought into America．These laws helped make the East India Company even richer and forced local people to pay much more for everything．The American leaders asked the British government not to do so，but the British refused to listen．These unfair laws increased Americans'anger about British rule and the rest，as they say，is history．
