In history, what often occurred was that influential individuals who occupied the middle ground during exploration were forgotten. These third-party individuals are called go-betweens and they helped Europeans connect with different cultural groups. The 16th century brought enormous change by the Portuguese to the indigenous groups who lived in Brazil. The colonization of Brazil owes its success to transactional, representational, and physical/biological go-betweens. The book, Go-betweens and the Colonization of Brazil, written by Alida Metcalf explores the roles of these go-betweens and their impact.

In his attachment to colonial liberation from empire, he pushed the logic of his goals further than many and influenced the political future of South America. His unwavering commitment to Latin America and his visions of unity and liberty have earned him his name as The

In fact, the night Bolivar became the dictator of Gran Colombia, he barely escaped assassination. In fact, just a year later, “the opposition to Bolivar had assumed such proportions that an[other] conspiracy to eliminate him was set in motion” (“Simón Bolívar.” Encyclopedia of World Biography). However, Bolivar’s fame “continued to grow to mythical proportions in Latin America” because he was fearless and continued to undermine Spanish authority (“Simón Bolívar.” Encyclopedia of World Biography).

Simon Bolivar, a Venezuelan, an aristocrat, an orphan, a slave owner, a widow, these words describe how people could portray a man of such power and influence, but most of them call him the Liberator. Bolivar is known for his role as a revolutionary leader against the Spanish forces that occupied most of South America and helped liberate six countries that would not have been around if not for his constant pursuit for justice. Even today as his story is almost 200 years old, Bolivar still makes an impact in South America by the means of representing the fight for people of all ethnicities, all the people that have been denied justice, and as their perfect and imperfect leader.

This paper will analyze whether Pablo Escobar was a Modern day Robin Hood or a Murderous Tyrant. Escobar to this day is still a highly controversial character and is perceived differently throughout Columbia. The topic was undertaken by thorough research and analyzing documents and interviews. Due to lack of Primary Documents, the majority of my research was from secondary sources. Pablo Escobar grew up in a time period which was referred to simply as the Violencia, Pablo was known as a loving father and the people saw him as a local boy who had done well for himself and gave back millions to the community. Escobar was not always seen as a charitable figure he was targeted by extreme left winged guerrillas. Intimidation and violence were the

Much like the U.S., Brazilian culture is extremely diverse. Brazil’s current population of 190 million represents various nationalities from European to African (Country Facts). Brazil has an extremely diverse culture with some common pervasive threads that grouped together give Brazil a national identity.

After conquering Brazil, the Portuguese did not know what to do. They were good at conquering, but unlike Spain, they had no intention of colonization. This act made Brazil akin to a broken land, with no governmental power67. Even though they only stayed in Brazil for ten days, Cabral and his men, along with Da Gama later, made significant changes (most were not good) to the native life. The people of Brazil did not need the European intervention.

Planning each aspect of the Revolution, he compiled shipments of arms without the knowledge of neither the United States nor Cuban governments. He placed his heart and soul into the organization and preparations of the Revolution without complaint.

Imperialism is a process that started around 1600s. The imperialism is the act of dominating one country and changing the lives of the individuals. There are many resources that are found and developed in Brazil that led to a Portuguese colonization of Brazil. Portuguese was the first that sailed out to the region of what came to be Brazil. These region was perfect in every way. For example, the northeast region has a nice weather to grow sugar, and the location near the ports were very convenient to Portuguese. The Portuguese started out as sugar plantation, and later they found another important resources, gold. The Portuguese also used the colonies to develop another important source of life, cotton. As Pombal was raised to throne, his

Hugo Chavez was well known for being a savage and ruthless dictator. He lied and used direct propaganda, aimed at the lower classes to build a majority vote. These methods are similar to the way Napoleon told the animals what they wanted to hear, when they wanted to hear it. Once in a role of authority, they both contradicted themselves by doing things they said they would never do. There are numerous dictators that come to mind when people think of infamous dictators, but Hugo Chavez is probably not one of them. Although, his actions match those of Joseph Stalin, one of the most prominent dictators in world history.

Vargas instituted many policies during his time. Many of which were meant to benefit Brazilian lives. The recently increasing industrialization of Brazil caused the creation of a new middle class. Vargas sought to help the workers because of this new middle class. He created many jobs because of his emphasis on industrialization. He also created minimum wages and gave women new rights in the workplace. Because of all this Vargas was given much appreciation by workers, because no leader before Vargas cared about the lives of any of these people. Even though this was great for the people a lot of these policies came at a cost. According to historian Rex A. Hudson (1998), “Despite Vargas’s pro-labor policies, reforms were never sufficient to raise

The greatest footballing country on the planet is Brazil. Brazil is a country that wins 80% of its football matches. They have a record five Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) World Cups, eight Confederação Sul-Americana de Futebol (CONMEBOL) Copa Ameríca titles, and three FIFA Confederations Cup titles have created a football giant. How did a country on the periphery like Brazil become so dominant? What were the patterns of continuity and change that created this footballing leviathan? How did this sport transcend individual cultures and cultural regions? What were the significant social, political, and economic ramifications for all of the people involved? Brazil’s dominance in football is an indirect result

As a child develops into an adult there are critical developmental steps that are necessary for a complete and successful transition. The physical transition is the most obvious change, but underneath the thick skin and amongst the complex systems, exists another layer of transitions. Ideas, rationales, ideologies and beliefs all dwell within this layer of each being. It could be said that a nation can also fit this transitional framework. A nation grows in both size (wealth, population, power), and in ideological maturity (emancipation of slaves, civil rights, women’s rights…etc). This constant evolution of ideas and size is the foundation of a successful government. Without change and
