was a dramatic period of English history.
 The period saw the end of the Wars of
the Roses the English Reformation and
the Elizabethan era.
 The Reformation produced little
bloodshed in London, with most of the
higher classes co-operating to bring
about a gradual shift to Protestantism

7. 18, 19 and 20 century.

18. Curiosities
 Since the Second World War, the Olympics were canceled in
1940 and 1944. The situation in Europe after the war was so
precarious that each delegation had to bring their own food
to London and the medals were made of tin.
- For the first time was broadcast live on television (black
and white) the opening ceremony.
- The lack of money was too obvious to any sports facility
was built for the occasion, just built a pool that was a private
company.
- While competitors were 4.468, only 10 Olympic records
were exceeded.

19.  One of the most acclaimed athletes in the closure of the
parade was Holland's Fanny Blankers-Koen. At age 32, was
the oldest of all women competing, so much so that he was
nicknamed Grandma. He won four gold medals, no woman
before had achieved so much.
- The Bob Mathias, with only seventeen, won the decathlon
medal just four months after it started in the sport. He is the
youngest athlete in Olympic history to win a gold medal in
athletics.
- The consolidated London Games the Olympic spirit and
perhaps your conclusion to these games than a
disappearance.
