The river thames has played a significant role in military operations throughout the country’s history. in ancient times, the romans set their sights on expanding their empire by using the navigable waters of the thames to invade the british isles. from the sea, they could easily enter the mouth of the river and move inward. after a failed attempt at defeating the british tribes the year before, julius caesar broke through their defenses along the river thames in 54 b. c. although the british fought against the romans nearly a century later, roman forces remained in england until the fall of the empire. what is the most likely reason the british tribes built defenses along the river thames?

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”
