History of Spain

1. When beginning this journal, I initially thought Nativism referred to the Native American Indians that were the first inhabitants of America. The definition of nativism is a word that makes reference to a policy that is set to conserve or protect the wellbeing and interest of a native population within a country. So I figured I was on the right track, right? Wrong. The real context of the word “nativism” skips over the Indian reference and goes right to when Columbus discovered America. Thus…

not only using maps to figure out where the place is, but also just like the professor said in the video “it’s an amazing way to figuring out the history” . I do agree this statement because before Ferdinand Magellan circumnavigated the world, people do not realize that Earth is a ball not flat. When people read the map, then they can learn the history of the “Age of Discovery” in the 16th cemetery. Maps may be very different at the different time. Just like the video said, the reason why…

Two continents named after one explorer, Amerigo Vespucci. His travels are not well known compared to Columbus, but they were more integral to the discovering of America. Vespucci writes a letter to Pier Soderini, Gonfalonier of the Republic of Florence, depicting his travels to the New World on his first of four voyages. The letter describes the encounters with the natives as well as the different types of animals they saw. Involvements in battles and celebrations throughout his exploration of…

Nautical voyages conducted and captained by men such as James Cook, Charles Darwin and John Ross were some of the main driving forces that helped the scientific community to map and geographically understand the world as we see it today. One explorer in particular, James Clark Ross, and his southern artic expedition of 1839 resulted in the charting of much of the continents coastline as well as the southern seas. All of the great voyages during this time period held their own discoveries and…

Boundaries and borders can be physical or symbolic, visible and invisible. These boundaries and borders represent ideas or ideals dependent upon the position of a society in relation to the border. The Open University (2016a, p.175) states boundaries “can have different meanings for, and effects on, different people depending on gender, race, ethnicity, class, age and many other social characteristics”. The construction of borders is often supported by the concept of justice. However just as…

America. Christopher Columbus was the first European to arrive in the Americas in 1492. This sailor was funded by the Spanish king and queen. He landed in the Bahamas, a small group of islands in the Caribbean and claimed the land for Spain. Hernán Cortés, also from Spain, landed on the coast of Mexico in South America in 1519. Shortly afterwards, the Spanish defeated the Aztec people. The Aztec had settled in what is now Mexico City in AD 1345. They had built a huge, wealthy empire by warfare…

Natural materials, such as pearls, feathers, shells, and minerals, were…

Accepting too many people from one ideology could have negative impacts on regions of the US. Since ideologies are usually related to location, there simply needs to be an annual cap of…
