The city and its surroundings came under English control in 1664. New York served as the capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790. It has been the country's largest city since 1790.The Statue of Liberty, which is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in the middle of New York Harbor, in Manhattan, was designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and dedicated on October 28, 1886. It was a gift to the United States from the people of France. The statue greeted millions of immigrants as they came to America by ship in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is a globally recognized as a symbol of the United States and its democracy.

Opening lines: Bitter long cold winters. Soaring mountain peaks. Sparsely populated land. Rich native traditions. Teaming urban areas. And Stephen Harper. Who? I’m not talking about Alaska – but instead our closest neighbor bordering us on the east – Canada.

Thesis: Canada is a beautiful and diverse country shaped by military actions.

The Preview: There is a lot to Canada but time only permits us to explore its geography and people, its government and some of its military history.

My Audience should care about this because: They are our neighbors and our hockey loving compatriots. Yet most of us don’t really know much about the second largest country in the world. But given they are Alaska’s border, and we share many things in common, we shouldknow something about Canada.

Speaker Credibility established by: I’ve driven through Canada several times to get to Alaska, but never really spent time there until last summer. The vacation I took to Canada encouraged meto do more research to learn about Canada and to interview a professor in the UAA History Department.

Transition to first Main Point: Okay, let’s get started with some basic information about Canada.
