The Haitian Revolution is underestimated in its impact on the United States and particularly the race relations in America with reference to the Civil War. Beyond that sense, Haiti’s independence even expedited revolutions in Latin American countries. Simply regarding the fact that it was the only other nation in the Western Hemisphere to be established by means of a revolt, and to be a black one at that, definitely left an uneasy dread within the United States’ stomach. Most apparently it had…

Take Home DBQ In the late 18th and early 19th centuries revolutionary movements had started across the Americas and France. The leaders had a common goal of liberating the citizens of their country. Each document is focused on a different group of people achieving freedom and independence. All the documents were based on enlightenment ideals and are all more liberal in social and political thought. The goals are different in each document some leaders sought independence from colonization;…

well, he only set them free in 1514, after being encouraged by other Dominican Friars and his own Easter sermon. He returned to the Iberian Peninsula and, for the following six years, legally campaigned for the rights of the indigenous peoples of Latin…

There were many reasons the United States wanted to expand. Some of the main reasons were social, military and economic. The social reason was that we made many new friendships with other countries. We made a treaty with Japan and we even invited Latin Americans to an America Conference in 1889. Socially America did a good job of spreading the words and love of Jesus Christ. This is known of one of the greater accomplishments America did at the time. The United States military was able to set up…

social and political conflict that that later had an impact in the economic crisis. Spain used to be a catholic monarchy, ruled by kings and queens, and was one of the World’s most powerful countries, as it conquered a lot of territories, such as Latin America and Philippines. Spain was basically an agricultural country. In Spain, since the 19th century the owners of large lands held the power. There was an oligarchy based in land. The economy was unable to meet people’s economic needs. The…

For my first critical reaction, I selected Helen Icken Safa’s article Women’s Social Movements in Latin America. In her article, Safa, a former director of the Latin American Studies Center, focuses on an increased rate of participation in social movements by women, particularly those who are poorer. She takes information from political, economic, and social aspects of society to argue her point of why more women are participating. While Safa made many well-written points, my personal favorite…

Dominican Republic One of the Latin American countries I would like to visit is Dominican Republic. Whenever my family decides to take a trip to Latin American countries, I usually decide to stay home. The reason for this being one I’m afraid of planes and two someone needs to care of the house. At least that is what I told them. In reality I have always been afraid to leave the country because I get easily sick. I remember one time I went to Puerto Rico for about a week and I could…

The key issue of this reading is how the Spaniards and Portuguese set about governing the land they had just gained during the conquest. We have spent the first eight weeks of the semester studying indigenous cultures, and this represents a significant change in subject matter—from conquering land to ruling over it. Maintaining power over the colonies in the face of considerable distance, hostile indigenous populations, and ambitious conquistadors, required significant planning, and this…

1. This poem is describing how many people felt during this period of time. Parts of the world such as Europe and The United States were looking to expand their might through means of imperialism. The title of the poem, White Man’s Burden, was used specifically because white men, at this time, thought they were superior and these “lesser countries” could not fend for themselves because they were nonwhite. One quote in the poem really helps drives this feeling of superiority into the reader,…
