Answer 1

Prehistoric era :
Check out the link - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_New_York_City_%28prehistory-1664%29

From the ice ages to the first native inhabitants 'Lenape'

(prehistory-1664):
At the time of the arrival of the first Europeans, the area around what would later be called New York Bay was populated primarily by the Munsee branch of the Lenape, a people in the ethnic and linguistic Algonquian family

Lenape in canoes met Giovanni da Verrazzano, the first European explorer to enter New York Harbor, in 1524. Giovanni da Verrazzano named this place New Angouleme (Nouvelle Angoulême in french) in the honor of the French king Francis I ('François 1er' in french). (Believed to be after this event) A French explorer and mapper, Samuel de Champlain, described his explorations through New York in 1608. A year later Henry Hudson, an Englishman working for the Dutch, claimed the area in the name of the Netherlands. It was to be called New Netherlands.

It is in May 1624 that the "Nieu Nederlandt", a ship chartered by the West India Company, arrived in sight of Manhattan Island. The vessel carried about thirty Belgian families: most of them were Walloons accompanied by a few Flemings.

(1665-1783):
This period began with the establishment of British rule over formerly Dutch New Amsterdam and New Netherland. As the newly renamed City of New York and surrounding areas developed, there was a growing independent feeling among some, but the area was decidedly split in its loyalties. The site of modern Greater New York City was the theatre of the New York Campaign, a series of major battles in the early American Revolutionary War. After early success in that campaign the city became the British political and military center of operations in North America for the remainder of the war. Nathan Hale was hanged in Manhattan after the Battle of Long Island. In addition, the British began to hold the majority of captured American prisoners of war aboard prison ships in Wallabout Bay, across the East River in Brooklyn. More Americans lost their lives from neglect aboard the prison ships than died in every battle of the war, combined. New York was greatly damaged twice by fires of dubious origin during the British occupation that followed the Battle of Brooklyn at the start of the American Revolutionary War. The occupation lasted until November 25, 1783.

Answer 2

that's outstanding..i have examine a smiliar one till now, yet i love this version too =).. @OMAR- certain, i do sense like a jewel-outstanding with diverse sides..is that a situation? besides, we do not elect non-muslims telling us that we are oppressed, because, "we are no longer OPPRESED"-why, do not they imagine we can imagine for ourselves and say that?
