Britain has invaded all but 22 countries in the world in its long and colourful history, new research has found.
This is a great map to show the historical impact of colonialism on the world map. The map is based on the work in the new book All the Countries We've Ever Invaded: And the Few We Never Got Round To.
Handy map to have as a reference/guide. Elizabeth

Read Religious architecture of Islam for travel tips, advice, news and articles from all around the world by Lonely Planet...
This is an excellent article that can be used in a thematic class for analyzing religion, the human landscape, the urban environment and cultural iconography. For a regional geography class, this show great images from Indonesia, Spain, Egypt, Syria and Israel/Palestine.
These mosques are breathtaking. They also have distinct historical factors, such as, the Temple Mount being built over the rock that Mohammed rose to heaven. When we look at the dome we are inclined to notice the historical aspects and their meanings. Elizabeth Allen Via Seth Dixon

it's incredible how different these architectural wonders are based on the country where they were built.

Is it me or do religious based buildings always look awesome? Wish I could see some of these structures someday.
