King Philip Letter To Spain

The vast land of what is now America has always had a lot to offer people of other cultures. Settlers came to this new land in the first place looking for gold and other treasures to bring back home. So it comes as no surprise that Native Americans would trade with outside countries.

Prosperous Political aspects of Spain’s rise was diminutive, however it brutally terminated their Golden age. Ferdinand and Isabella made Spain a strong country with many territories in Europe and the America’s. In contrast one can see the corrupt policies of Philip II and there enormous effect on Spain’s decline. Spain lost a great deal of land trying to convert people to Catholicism. In their efforts to convert and spread Christianity during the thirty years war, Spain lost complete control of the Netherlands. In addition to losing the Netherlands, the English defeat of the Spanish armada completely crushed Spain, not only

In addition, there were many domestic and foreign policies Philip II created during his rule in power. One policy he created was against the Muslims. As of the year that he created the policy, he lost half of the strength of his navy from losing wars with the Turkish Empire, as talked about before ("Philip II"). While attempting to repair his navy back to its full strength once again, the Muslim pirates attacked Spain. Prisoners were taken, but King Philip was able to bring back his navy, but soon enough, the Turks attacked again and it was looking very poor for Spain at this point ("Good King Philip?"). After many more small wars, both sides were left with very little military presence, so Spain and France signed a truce. Philip II also created a two-fold policy: “He sent ministers to Portugal to build up support for him being king which would have meant Spain absorbing Portugal into her kingdom” (Trueman). He also created a very large army, also stated above. The noblemen of Portugal supported Philip II, and also clearly hoped to get rewards for their support. Nearly all of the problems Philip II faced were results of his policies and problems that were soon to be fixed.

The Spaniards had a unique way of depicting history through Hernan Cortes’ letters to the Spanish King and Francisco Lopez de Gomara’s narrative created from Cortes’ testimonies. Each explanation from these men detail a different aspect of time in the around 1519 of the Spanish conquest. Firstly, Cortes’ letters are written in favor of the Spanish King, Charles the V. Cortes specifically explains objects and references the resources, land, and treasures to create growth to the mother country. For example,

In 1900, progressive nations brought to the people of Africa, Latin America, and Asia “the foodstuffs and manufactures they need” to have a successful garden spot producing tropical fruits, like pineapple (Doc 1). Along with the progression of businesses, these progressive nations “built canals, railways, and telegraphs,” improving the ability of the nations to sell to outside their boundaries (Doc 1). In other words, with railways, canals, and telegraphs, trade now becomes an easier task. With trade routes readily available, trade between Hawaii and the United States opened up for pineapple. Trade also opened up between Cuba and America for sugar. Furthermore, America improved the most powerful of all business groups, banks. America allowed banks to “make loans to colonies and backward countries for building railways and steamship lines,” (Doc 3). With the ability to now build railways and steamship lines, the colonies’ trade routes will open up, allowing trade with countries across the ocean for valued goods. This business in banking improved the industry in the colonies as there is an easier and better chance for the nations to collect more revenue with a wider variety to sell to; this wide variety is only possible with railways and steamship lines shipping goods across the world. As America

Trade: It is a widespread fact that international trade has increased to unprecedented levels as compared to the nineteenth century. However, it was an era of rapid trade growth, cultural ties and aftermath of Age of Exploration. After the post-World War period, an extensive

King Philip's War, war that hollowed Native Americans against English pioneers and their Indian partners that was one of the bloodiest clashes in U.S. history. The war is named for Metacomet, the Wampanoag boss who received the English name Philip because of the well disposed relations between his dad and the Mayflower Pilgrims. The war preceded in the most northern spans of New England until the marking of the Treaty of Casco Bay in April 1678.

I think I do agree with calling it King Philip’s perspective. Truthfully I believe that it was a colonist or the several colonists that said King Philip brought this up to them in a meeting.

As a member of the council, which I will advise Queen Elizabeth I on the feasibility of planting a colony in the New World. Based upon the information Arthur Barlowe’ reported I will consider possible problems and the positive of establishing a colony. Queen Elizabeth, your majesty, we shall look at the land first and not by what Arthur Barlowe has seen. It might take us days to land there and explore the land, but we will proceed to a chastise decision. We could possibly send Sir Walter Raleigh with Arthur Barlowe so we can feel trusted and know that we are making the correct decision. As the weeks, months pass by we received news about the colony from a letter that Sir Walter Raleigh wrote: Your majesty, the land seems meticulous! The smell reflects to a newly home that’s blooming

Throughout human history exploration has had its basis in the desire to expand, or find alternate, trade systems. Without the expansion of trade and the exploration, discoveries, and innovations that were spawned by it, our world would be a very different place. Various trade systems have come and gone throughout the tale of history, however we will examine just two, very dissimilar, systems: the Atlantic trade system, arguably the most well known trade system, particularly to American school age students; and the lesser known Chinese tribute trade system. We will also take a look at how both trade systems compare to each other and why they would be ineffective in modern times.

In the novel, Paris 1200 by John W. Baldwin, King Philip (Philip Augustus), was an important contributor to the growth of the French Monarchy. He was able to increase the Monarchy better then any other King before him. He defeated many enemies, sought to overtake the British crown and embarked on a third crusade. King Philip Augustus brought financial stability to the country and was very popular amongst his subjects. King Philip when assigned King had many goals to achieve to make his Kingdom the most powerful. He changed the political structure to better suit these goals and allow for a better transition with his changes. King Philip Augustus had different relationships, good and bad, with the Catholic Church, the Parisian Elite and England. Philip II, starting at such a young age, had high expectations for the development of the Kingdom.

The trading networks of the 17th and the 18th centuries, probably the reason America is here and why we’re Americans. That is because this trade was a new type of trade, international trade or involving the whole world in one network, mass production, diversity, and mixing of cultures. As a result of such trading networks the western hemisphere was now being populated more heavily and the first colonies where starting to form. Documents 2, and 4 describes how Chinese greed for silver changed a lot of old patterns, documents 3, 1, 5, and 6 discuss how silver affected distribution of money, the economy, and methods of payment, documents 7 and 8 discuss the impact of silver on the world and the controversies it aroused.

In conclusion, the topic of free trade is difficult to debate and often controversial as it has advantages but also disadvantages. Nonetheless, the drawbacks outweigh the benefits as it one, contravenes basic moral ideologies, two, makes the rich, richer, and the poor, poorer, and three, jeopardizes our declining environment. All in all, free trade will neither support nor sustain our country to be ethical, prosperous or

In the "Sacred and Terrifying Gazes" by Antonio Feros, he begins by discussing three steps Spanish royalty achieved their position as monarchs empowered by God. Originally, they would promote their royal authority through symbolism in royal images. However, the portrayal of the monarchy began to change after the conquest of Mexico. Hernan Cortez noticed that the Aztec ruler was viewed as a deity

Philip's character itself is a critical as his personality and characteristics convey, not only himself, but also his empire to others. It is believed by some historians that Philip was a far poorer leader than his father, Charles I, who had reigned before him. Philip grew up to be an outsider and carried this flaw with him into leadership. He never fully trusted anyone and so was incapable
