Catalonia, Spain And Spain

In the 17th century England and Spain were both in a race to settle the New World. After Christopher Columbus had reached this New World Spain almost immediately sent people over to explore and colonize. After the Treaty of Tordesillas secured their land, Spain’s empire quickly expanded across The Americas. England had a bit of a late start when it came to colonization. Even though their first few attempts such as Jamestown, and Roanoke were not very successful England kept at it. Eventually, England and Spain became the two most powerful nations in the Americas. Even though both nations had the same goal, their political, religious, and economic development were very different.

During the 15th century, many considered Spain insignificant. However, within a century it became a world-dominant power in Europe. Although Spain only took a brief time to rise, it was also short-lived. The rise of Spain was due to its flourishing culture, stable political system and successful voyages to the New World. On the other hand, its decline was due to religious control, resistance from other countries and inflation.

Spain and the United States began relations in the earliest days of North America’s colonization. Spain’s settlements in Florida, followed by other colonies in Louisiana, Texas, and the Southwest and California, meant that early American colonists would come into contact and later into conflict with the Spanish. In the early days of the American Revolutionary War, Spain assisted the Americans in their struggle for independence. Many years later, relations between Spain and the U.S. deteriorated and war broke out; in recent decades, however, the countries began repairing economic relations once again.

Before World War I, Portugal and Spain status as global powers diminished while the Netherlands, France, and Great Britain won. The power of both Portugal and Spain significantly reduced after the two countries lost some of their colonies and other territories in the Americas. Notably, the two nations' economic and political interests suffered because they depended on commodities and taxes from their foreign colonies. For instance, Brazil's declaration of independence in 1822 and the subsequent war that followed heavily affected the global fortunes of Portugal. On the other hand, Spain lost some of its territorial possessions to the U.S. in 1820 after Florida became part of the USA. Moreover, it was involved in a war of independence a year later with Mexico, in which the country suffered defeat. Other Spanish colonies in South and Central America also managed to unite and gained independence from Spain by 1825.

Now in days there is a lot of terrifying stuff seen every day. Starting from accidents, tourism attacks, and shootings. My focus is Hispanic immigration and borders.

The Spanish built an elaborate empire in the Americas, covering the whole western-coast of South America, all of Central America, the Caribbean, Mexico, and parts of the United States, including New Mexico and Florida. It took years of effort in order to set up to colonize this big region and set up a structured system. The 3 main motives of Spain was “God, Gold, and Glory”.

In the late 1400s, when Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon got married, they decided to join forces and unite their kingdoms. This newly united country was known as Spain. Isabella and Ferdinand were both Catholic, so they wanted their new country to remain Catholic as well. Achieving this goal was not originally an issue, but became a major challenge in around the late 1400s to the early 1500s, when the Protestant Reformation began. Protestantism, a new branch of Christianity, had spread rapidly around Europe. Around this time period, a Dominican friar warned Isabella that even though Spain was at that time a Catholic country, former Jews and Muslims who had converted to Catholicism were living there and secretly practicing their

I am the daughter of immigrants, an American and Venezuelan citizen who moved to the United States almost four months ago after living my whole life in a small border-town between Venezuela and Colombia. Venezuela is known for its political instability, and while living there I became aware of issues such as corruption, bribery, immigration, drug and human trafficking and abuse of authority. Since I attended school in Colombia, something very common in border areas, I was denied several times the right to enter my country without any justification or motive, I was forced to miss school for weeks when the government decided to stop the flow of people in and out of Venezuela and not provide a way for me, my siblings and thousands of other students to receive our education. I then decided to move here, my homeland, in search of better opportunities and quality of life but I am well aware that even here and even if it doesn’t directly affect me, immigration is a growing issue. These obstacles were very hard to deal with, but they made me the human rights advocate, politically aware, member of my community’s Model UN society since 2012, member of my school’s speech and debate team and potential political analyzer I am

George Orwell, noted writer and journalist, arrived in Barcelona, Spain in late 1936 to cover the fight against fascism. Being an avid fan of socialism, he was amazed to see the small glimpse of socialism in action. He was intrigued to say the least, of the classless society he observed there. Barcelona, Spain at this time was held under Anarchist control, and as such most of the old class society rituals were abandoned: tipping, titles, and the old divisions between rich and poor were practically gone. Everyone was equal in this new society, and most of the rich aristocrats had either fled or went into
