Week 14 Wikipedia Trail: From the German Language to Greenhouse Gases

Article 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_language
I decided to choose the German language as the starting point for my wikipedia trail because I think it's really interesting and I've been studying it for 3 years so I thought it'd be interesting to read more about it. I did think it was really an interesting article because I didn't realize how many places it was actually spoken and the different dialects everywhere.

Articles 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxony
I chose Saxony to be my second article because I'll be doing a study abroad this summer in Leipzig which is the capital of Saxony, so I thought it'd be interesting to learn more about it. I thought it was interesting to learn more about the industries of Saxony and I didn't know that it was nicknamed Silicon Saxony.

Article 3: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union
I decided to follow the link to the European Union next because I thought it would be interesting to read more about. I thought it was interesting to see how little of the population was encompassed in the EU but how much of the world's GDP is produced by the EU.

Article 4: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas
I decided to follow a link to learn more about Greenhouse Gases. You hear so much about carbon emissions and I really don't know how much I actually knew about greenhouses gases besides what causes them and the effect they have on the environment, so I thought that it was interesting to learn more about greenhouse gases.
