Voyages, invasion, and a few years to let it all play out. That was essentially all that was needed for the growth of Spain in the Americas. During the time period from 1492 through 1532, Spain had discharged a few notable people with a few expeditions. Aside from the voyages, we still know that with claiming a land you must take it over by force, only if it's occupied of course; therefore, we should also look at the battles it took to conquer the colonies already there. With the demise of the…

Geography is essential to understanding the place with the only known life source on it. Because there is so much information and geography covers a wide variety of topics,it can be broken down into five themes: Movement, Region, Human-Environment Interaction, Location, and Place. Each of these themes helps people understand more about the earth, how it is formed, how ideas spread, and how it affects other places and things. Knowing this kind of information can help one make better decisions…

When the topic of global warming, or now called “climate change” is brought to the table, many people have serious thoughts about the argument.

During the 1400’s all the way to the 1800’s, Spain was very successful in controlling land in the New World. It began when Christopher Columbus landed in the Bahamas in search of a new trade route to Asia. Many people soon discovered that it wasn’t Asia, but in fact a whole new world. But, they never colonized significant areas of North America. Central and South America was where the majority of Spanish settlements were found. Many people left Spain in search of a new beginning.

Geography being the primary factor in shaping the development of the British colonies proves to be a true statement. When Columbus set sail he misjudged the earth’s size on his journey to the Indies and landed in the Bahamas (Kennedy 9). The first British colony established in the New World was Jamestown in 1607.

Columbus’ legacy goes beyond discovering the new world. Some of his contributions were positive, like finding the New World ("Christopher Columbus," Explorers), and some were tragic, like carrying over diseases ("The Columbian Exchange: A History of Disease, Food and Ideas”). Christopher Columbus’ love for exploring started in May 1476 at the age of 9.…
