2014 Summer Hiatus Challenge -- Round 3, Day 6
This is later than I meant it to be.
Sorry about that.
Anyway, this round will stay open until 11:59 PM PDT Sunday. I hope that gives everybody enough time to get your responses in.
Good luck.

Re: 2014 Summer Hiatus Challenge -- Round 3, Day 6
RECENT EUROPEAN HISTORY
2: Signed in 1992, the Maastricht Treaty sets the criteria by which countries can become part of this “zone;” Lithuania will become the nineteenth in 2015.
4: Ironically, on January 1, 1990 Poland became the first country to withdraw from this military alliance since 1968.
6: After the 1989 Velvet Revolution brought an end to Communist Party rule in this country, the Velvet Divorce saw it break in two.
8: The South Ossetia War led to Georgia's withdrawal from this supranational organization, formed in 1991 as a successor to the Soviet Union.
10: Negotiations to end Northern Ireland's “Troubles” resulted in an agreement in Belfast on April 10, 1998 – this religious holiday.
COLLEGE & UNIVERSITY BENEFACTORS
3: The College in the English Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations was given this monosyllabic name in 1804, after the family on whose farm it was built.
6: A North Carolina school is named for the father of this industrialist who, early in the 20th century, held a monopoly on manufactured cigarettes.
9: He donated $150,000 to build this land grant college in Lafayette, Indiana later named for him.
12: Initially named for town founder Henry DeLand, this Florida university was later renamed to honor the hat manufacturer whose funding kept the school running in the 1890's.
15: The founder of this Houston university was murdered in 1900 by his lawyer who hoped to cash in on a fake will.

We shall not cease from exploration,
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
