It has the name "UK" is defined after 1707. Now enclose the city of Glasgow within it specifying the range "after 1600". An event in this city in 1650, will display the UK as a question mark. The user should redefine the link so that Glasgow is enclosed by Scotland before 1707 and the UK after 1707. Nick. |
