In this war the US wanted to have the Manifest Destiny come true, so the US fought over land which is now called Texas. After the war had been fought over Texas, the US had a little later had attempted to take more land. In which, they were successful and now we call the land they fought for part of California.

With the proliferation of cross cultural contact, it is imperative to be well acclimated with the geopolitical climate of a nation. Additionally, one must also be more generally habituated in regards to the current circumstances within that nation/Geo-political region. One such geopolitical climate that merits consideration is the Hispaniola region, more specifically the nation of Haiti. With both a rich social and geographical topography, Haiti presents an individual with an interesting case study in pertinence to military considerations. Under military considerations, it is essential to frame ones’ understanding through elements of cultural expertise, understanding and awareness. Thus, one must undertake the meaning of culture, in addition

The misconception that the Indians had about the Spanish is that they never believed that they would come and rape the naïvety from them and brutally kill men, women and children in the name of God. Many are to believe that the slave trade originated from some of the Spanish conquistadors (i.e. through someone such as Christopher Columbus when he founded the “New World” and there invested in the indigenous peoples’ lives). Looking into each Spanish conquistador’s life it is seen and read that they learnt their way of life through following others. The chain connecting each conquistadors and many other Spaniards lifestyles could be seen through their own history and in repeating it the same downfall has been met. Although the Spanish conquistadors have done many terrible things and created horrific events through history there is still a respect of sorts for their courage and audacity to live in such

During Columbus’ journey, he had found the people of Espanola to be very generous with all of their possessions but they behaved very timorous. He perceives them as barbaric and uneducated because of their use of clothes and weapons, “… all go naked, men and women, as their mothers bore them… they

1100-1532, a 2,600 square mile Native American empire that controlled most of the Andes Region of South America.

Commerce stopped. Foreign ships usually welcomed were now viewed as importing death and barred from docking. Even trips to the local market became rare. At the beginning, inns and taverns from those who fled and those who frolicked did well, until their owners and workers too succumbed to the disease and became yet more abandoned buildings.

Nearly five hundred years ago Spanish Conquistadors began their conquest of the Americas. As history recounts, of all the Conquistadors Hernan Cortes was by far the most successful Spaniard in his pursuit to seize land, precious resources, and native peoples. Cortes’ search for wealth and glory is capped by his procurement and establishment of New Spain, forever implanting his legacy in the Spanish history of the exploration and conquest of the New World, as well as the indigenous history of the rapid destruction of the highly advanced, wealthy, and powerful Mexica Empire ruled by Moctezuma Xocoyotl. With this in mind, since the beginning of time, prevailing histories have leant towards the recorded narratives of the Victors, thus failing to

Dominican Republic a nation home to 10.4 million people and home to 300,000 immigrants. Today Dominican Republic faces a big crisis has of today the immigrants of the Dominican Republic are being deported from the island for not having visas and paperwork to prove that they are from the island.

History has a great impact on lives today. It’s often said that our history doesn’t define us, yet this is not the case when it comes to many of the Caribbean islands. Especially Haiti and the Dominican Republic which due to their colonization have ingrown problems against each other that persist till this day. Historians say that the island formerly called Hispaniola was “found” by Christopher Columbus in 1492. Yet the separation of the island came in 1697 when Spain relinquished the Western third of the island to France. After this moment this half of the island was well known as Saint-Domingue and the other as Hispaniola. Despite their rich history filled with death, punishment, war, and oppression. Today this same turmoil exists but against

People were forced to abandon family, friends, and homes. Civilians were so frightened to leave their houses, that they would shut themselves in their homes hoping that the rats or another person would not come and infect them. Funerals began to become perfunctory because there was an abundance of bodies and again people were terrified that they might catch something. Work in general also ceased to be completed. The lack of work was the cause of the shift in the feudal system. Serfs that used to only work for one lord would now normally be doing work for multiple. As a result of the change, the social classes were distinguished even more. The people that were wealthy usually didn't have to do much work and thus did not come in contact with the amount of infected people as the average towns people did. Their main concern was the rodents and the flies that would come with

Spain’s early entry into colonization in the Caribbean, Mexico, and South America shaped European and developments by establishing a base colony in Hispaniola. Early entry into the new world gave them the advantage of being the first to start collecting new materials. The Native Americans had gold, which, once the Spanish realized that they carried gold, was their main goal. The Spanish even had gold quotas for everyone over 14, and if they were not reached, it was definitely a bad sight. Once Columbus returned to Spain to give word of the new land, he was sent back with a much larger fleet, but the 39 people he left in Hispaniola were killed by the Native Americans. This caused outrage, and Christopher Columbus ordered the capturing and killing
