    1:35 A great misconception that the shortest route from Europe to india is through the cape of good hope .
    "True, the Suez Canal had not yet been built. There was no sea route between Alexandria and Suez, but trans-shipping stations had been established and passengers, goods and mail were unloaded at Alexandria and delivered by caravan to Suez, considerably reducing the journey to India" from ( Modern History of the Arab Countries. Vladimir Borisovich Lutsky 1969) .
    That means a ship from port sudan to Europe could go to suez city and unload the cargo and then Carry it on camels and caravans and go to Alexandria and load them again to ships to go to Europe.

      @sub4me 4 a cookie To put it simply, when Britain controlled Ireland they sent settlers to Northern Ireland in the Plantation of Ulster. The majority in these lands remained Protestant Unionists and chose to stay in the UK after Ireland's War of Independence. Catholic Civil Rights marches in the North sparked 30 years of sectarian violence called The Troubles which ended in the Good Friday Agreement 1998. There is an open border and people can choose citizenship but Brexit may challenge this.
