In the hopes of accomplishing wealth, status, and the spread of their own religion in New Spain, the Spaniards traveled, fought, killed, and did whatever else they felt needed to be done. New Spain was seen as a land of opportunity because of the access to many things including land, gold, silver, water, slaves, and much more. At the time, the leader, Montezuma, was living in luxury by having his slaves respond to his every need. He was living so luxurious that he forgot that he must keep his…

Our city name is Hugo and it is located in Venezuela. Venezuela lies within the tropics, its local climates has an altitude from hot and humid lowlands to cool highlands.

relations. This disease originated in Cuba in 1878 and later made its way to the Southern and Northern United states where it infected a large amounts of the population. This disease was killing many Americans causing business to halt and everyday life to stop which also in turn meant that one of American most valuable income sources was slowing down and that was trade. In order to correct the effects that the yellow fever was having on the States government officials decided to get to the root…

In my point of view, the exchange control is a complicated issue, because in few words the government is controlling Venezuelans’ freedom. It is easy to see how the government with all its power tries to make Venezuelans do what suits them. Billions of dollars are being stolen by the government through this institution benefiting all the people that work for the government. On TV, magazines, and newspapers, we can see how the senior government positions dress the most expensive clothes, and…

Cuba and Venezuela have arguably been the most oppressed Latin American countries in the entire world. Cuba has been under a communist dictatorship for the last 50 years, while the Venezuelan people have been stripped of their rights money and food by their last two presidents.

Most people in the United States celebrate a national holiday on October 9th in memory of Christopher Columbus, the man often credited with “discovering” America. The day is becoming increasingly controversial, however. Many argue the man himself is not worthy of commemoration. Columbus was not actually the first to cross the Atlantic, they said. The holiday is seen as a celebration of colonialism, and offensive to the continents indigenous people. Although people glorify him as being one of the…
