Main Countries in the world. 6th grade B.

When reading the title of this post, you should probably think that it is not possible to say which countries are principal and which others aren't. However, there is a way. In order to set a ranking, we must consider these four variables: wealth, cultural influence, military power and size. So, here we go with the 10 more important countries in the world.

Number 10: Italy.

Italy is a very important country, mainly because its culture, monuments, gastronomy, beautiful cities, art masterpieces, museums... Perhaps it is not the most powerful, nor the wealthiest; but it is Italy.

Number 9: Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia is important because of petrol. Petrol has given them trillions of dollars, making the country one of the richest in the world. And you know: money is influence. There you can find also the city of "Mecca"; the holiest place for Islamic people. Millions of Muslims go there every year in pilgrimage.

Number 8: United Arab Emirates.

The same happens with Emirates. Petrol. Petrol moves the world: makes ships sail, makes cars move... Some of he richest individuals in the world are (or live) in United Arab Emirates. Abu Dabi or Dubai are important places you can find there.

Number 7: Japan.

Japan is a millenary country with a rich culture, History and tradition. Its influence around the World is undeniable. Besides, its economic power is important: brands like Shubaru, Mitsubishi or Yamaha are from Japan. And don't forget the amazing Manga, with titles like Dragon Ball, Naruto or Akira.

Number 6: Russia.

What can we tell about Russia? The biggest country in the world with a glorious History, a very strong army and a great variety and abundance of natural resources. One of the main nations, no doubt.

Number 5: France.

Many times we trend to consider France a not very important country. Nothing could be further from the truth. France is one of the strongest economies in the world with a great army, nuclear weapons, a great History and culture, astonishing monuments, territories all over the world... This country has also capital weight in the European Union, being one of its main engines.

Number 4: Germany.

When we listen to about Germany we all know that it is an important country, leader in the European Union. The power of Germany laids in its strong economy, mainly based in motor vehicles, chemistry and machinery in general. Also its cultural influence is beyond any criticism. And do not forget German music influence, with legendary composers such as Bach, Mozart or Beethoven.

Number 3: United Kingdom.

United Kingdom has been a principal country during the last four hundred years. It created a great empire, and its language, English, is spoken all over the world (And if you don't agree look what you are doing right now: you are reading a text in English, not being English your mother tonge). The UK has also a powerful army, a strong economy and a glorious past. For all these facts, it is in the top 3 of most important countries in the world.

Number 2: China.

China is a very big and old country, with 1.2 billion people living in there. Its economy is growing a lot, and year by year its inflluence spreads. China produces a lot of technology: smartphones, microchips, Aritifical Intelligence, robots, electric cars... China also has a very strong army and nuclear weapons. Besides, the Asian Giant has a great History; and its language, Mandarin Chinese, is the second most spoken language in the world, behind English.

Number 1: The USA.

Whether you like it or not, the USA is the most influencial country in the world: McDonalds, Hollywood, Rock and Roll, fashion, TV programs watched all over the world... American culture has spread through all corners. Besides, its army is the most powerful one, with nuclear weapons and cutting edge technology. 

Probably you are thinking in which position Spain is. Well, not too bad. On this ranking, we are number 13. We are good at producing high quality food and drinks (olive oil, cheese, wines), we have an astonishing cultural heritage (monuments like Segovian acueduct, Alhambra or Mérida roman reminds), our gastronomy is one of the best of the world (if not the best), we are a reference in the production of renewable energies...

Toys in ancient Rome.

Wooden horse with 
wheels.

Children in Ancient Rome loved to play with toys, play games and have fun.

There were many different kinds of toys that Roman children had, many of them are toys that we see today.

Some of those toys were horses, playhouses, carts, wooden swords, balls, bells, dolls, kites, and other toys.

All toys that children had were handmade toys, and these toys were very popular in the homes of the Ancient Roman people.

GIRL TOYS.

Roman doll.

Most of the time girls would play with dolls, and if there was a poor Roman family, the mom would sew rags together and make rag dolls for the girls. Girls that were from wealthier Roman families would have dolls that were made out of wax or clay and they had moving body parts such as arms and legs. Other very popular toys in Ancient Roman times were playhouses. These playhouses would be made out of wood, and many of them would have tiny figurines that girls could use to play with in their houses.

BOY TOYS

Boys during Ancient Roman times loved to talk and think about war.  They would listen to their brothers or fathers telling stories about fighting in the war and so when they would get toys, many of them would be war type toys or games.

Wooden toy sword.

Sometimes, boys would get wooden swords and shields and they would play games with other children in the neighborhood and they would 

pretend to fight in the war.

BABY TOYS.

Even babies would have toys that would be made out of wood.  Some of those toys included things like rattles, pulling toys, balls and more.  Sometimes, families would give their children a soft ball that had a wooden rattle inside of it.  These would allow the baby to shake, squeeze and throw the ball.

Roman spinning top.

Tops were another popular toy during Ancient Roman times and children would love to spin the top. Most of the tops were painted with different colors and were very popular.

Pull-toys and whistles were very popular during Ancient Roman times.  The Romans would also make animals that were carved out of wood, animals that had wheels that could be pulled around and even chariot toys that the children could race around.
