Latin America - European conquest - 2012
Europeans arrived in Latin America in the 1400s as Spain and Portugal searched for new trade routes to Asia. Christopher Columbus landed in the Americas while searching for Asia on behalf of Spain. Spain and Portugal then became rivals seeking to claim land in the new world. Spanish conquistadors like Hernan Cortes and Francisco Pizarro conquered the Aztec and Inca empires, giving Spain control over much of Latin America by 1535. Spain and Portugal divided influence over the new world along an imaginary line of demarcation in 1494.

12 - Europe
Europe is comprised of one large peninsula with many smaller peninsulas such as the Scandinavian, Jutland, Iberian, and Italian peninsulas. Several mountain chains run through Europe including the prominent Alps across France, Italy, Germany and Switzerland as well as the Apennines in Italy and Balkan Mountains. General uplands include hills, low mountains and plateaus like the Scottish Highlands, Meseta in Spain, and Massif Central in France. Major rivers include the Danube and Rhine, and Europe benefits from a warm climate due to ocean currents bringing tropical air north via the North Atlantic Drift, though mountain ranges block some cold winds. Human interaction with the environment includes reclaiming
13.1 - Mediterranean Europe
A look at Mediterranean Europe with focii on Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, and the Crusades. Most of this came from various history PP's of mine.
19.3 - West Africa
West Africa was home to three major trading empires - Ghana, Mali, and Songhai - which traded gold and salt and taxed traders passing through their lands along Saharan trade routes. The region also contains many stateless societies organized by lineage rather than centralized states, such as the Igbo people. However, the economies of West African nations currently struggle with political instability and civil wars hampering infrastructure development, as seen in Sierra Leone with its diamond resources amidst warring factions. The culture of West Africa is expressed through Ashanti kente cloth, symbolic stools, Igbo masks, Benin terra cotta works, and bronze sculptures.

Key bodies of water include the Red Sea, Suez Canal, Black Sea, Bosporus and Dardanelle Straits, Arabian Sea, and Persian Gulf. The Jordan River and Tigris and Euphrates Rivers are also significant. Much of the region contains plains and deserts, but there are also highlands and mountain ranges like the Zagros and Elburz Mountains. A major resource is oil, with about half of global reserves located in Southwest Asia.
24.1 - South Asia Landforms and Resources
The document summarizes the key landforms and natural resources of South Asia. It describes the Himalayan mountain range which was formed by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. It also mentions other mountain ranges like the Hindu Kush, Vindhya, and Western and Eastern Ghats. Major river systems like the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra flow from these mountains and deposit fertile soil on the alluvial plains where most of South Asia's large population lives. Offshore, islands like Sri Lanka and the Maldives are also described. South Asia has abundant natural resources from agriculture along the fertile river plains, forests providing timber, and minerals mined throughout the region.
19.5 - Southern Africa
1) The document discusses the history and current state of Southern Africa, including colonialism, apartheid in South Africa, and dictator Robert Mugabe's violent land reforms in Zimbabwe.
2) It describes how the Bantu people spread their languages throughout the region and the rise and fall of historic states like Great Zimbabwe and the Mutapa Empire.
3) European colonization in the late 19th century displaced groups like the Zulus and led to the official apartheid system of racial segregation in South Africa until the 1990s. There remains economic and social inequality between racial groups.
22.3 - SW Asia The Northeast
The document discusses the geopolitics of Southwest Asia and the Middle East. It covers the ethnic and religious diversity of the region, including the Kurdish people who lack a sovereign state. It also summarizes the Iran-Iraq War from 1980 to 1988, which killed over 1 million people and devastated both countries' economies and infrastructure. Finally, it provides an overview of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990 and the US-led coalition that drove Iraqi forces out of Kuwait in the Persian Gulf War.
18.2 - Africa Climate and Vegetation
The document describes the climate and vegetation in Africa. It discusses the Sahara Desert, which covers 1.8 million square miles and experiences extreme temperatures and scarce rainfall. It also mentions the Kalahari Desert, which receives sporadic rainfall and supports some vegetation and wildlife. Most of Africa is covered by tropical grasslands suitable for grasses but not trees. The main rainforests are located in the Congo Basin along the equator, and feature a dense canopy over 150 feet tall and diverse plant and animal life.
24.2 - South Asia Climate and Vegetation
The document discusses the climate and vegetation of South Asia, focusing on monsoons and cyclones. Monsoons are seasonal winds that change direction, with the summer monsoon bringing moisture from the Indian Ocean and producing heavy rains from June to September, while the winter monsoon's moisture is blocked by the Himalayas. Cyclones are hurricanes that can occur in the area and cause significant damage. The summer monsoon rains are crucial for agriculture but can also cause flooding.

21.3 - SW Asia Human Environment Interaction
The document summarizes human-environment interaction in Southwest Asia. It notes that the region is hot and dry, making water an important resource as the population increases. Dams and irrigation systems have been constructed to divert rivers for water storage and irrigation, though these disrupt natural river ecosystems. Modern methods like drip irrigation and desalination plants provide alternatives, but are costly and produce waste. The region also relies heavily on fossil fuels like oil, discovered in the early 20th century, which has brought wealth but risks like potential oil spills from large supertankers transporting crude oil internationally.
19.1 - East Africa
East Africa has some of the oldest records of human habitation. The Aksum civilization developed in Ethiopia around AD 100 and became a powerful trading empire connected to Arabia, India, and the African coast. When European colonialism began in the late 19th century, Africa was divided among the European powers. This grouping of different ethnic groups within political boundaries has contributed to ongoing conflicts in the region such as the 1994 Rwandan genocide which resulted in the deaths of over 1 million Tutsi and Hutu people in just 3 months.
18.3 - Africa Human Environment
The document discusses several topics related to human-environment interaction:
1) Desertification is occurring in the Sahel region of Africa as dry conditions spread from the Sahara desert.
2) Nigeria's economy heavily relies on oil exports, which has led to neglect of other sectors and debt issues when oil prices decline. Oil spills and fires from pipeline tapping also cause pollution.
3) Egypt's Aswan High Dam provides benefits like flood control and hydropower, but submerged villages and archaeology and reduced fertility in downstream lands due to lack of silt deposition.
18.1 - Africa Landforms and Resources
Africa has several notable physical features. It is known as the Plateau Continent due to much of its land being situated on an elevated plateau averaging 1,000 feet in height. Several major river basins drain the continent, most notably the Nile River, which is vital to Egypt's population. However, many rivers are not navigable for transportation due to waterfalls and rapids. Africa also contains active volcanic mountains like Mount Kilimanjaro and the world's largest waterfall, Victoria Falls. The continent has abundant natural resources like minerals and oil, but political instability and corruption have prevented many countries from fully developing these resources.
10.1 - Mexico
Here is a 3 sentence summary of the key points from the document:
The document provides a history of Mexico, beginning with the Olmec civilization around 1100 BC, followed by the advanced Maya civilization which flourished from AD 200-900, and finally the Aztec empire which ruled from the 1300s-1500s until being conquered by the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortez in 1521. Major Mexican civilizations like the Aztecs built large cities with impressive architecture and engaged in practices like human sacrifice, and Mexican culture today is shaped by the blending of native and Spanish influences after the conquest. The country gained independence from Spain in 1821 and experienced periods of dictatorship, revolution, and one-party rule by the
9.2 - Climate and Vegetation of Latin America
Latin America has a wide variety of climates and corresponding vegetation zones that span from northern Mexico to southern South America. The tropical zones include rainforests with year-round heat and rain, as well as wet/dry savannahs. Semi-arid regions receive some rain and feature grasslands and desert shrubs, while deserts have very little rain and mostly scrubland vegetation. Mid-latitude climates include humid subtropical, Mediterranean, marine west coast, and highland zones.
9.1 - Landforms and Resources of Latin America
The document summarizes the key physical geographic features of Latin America, including the Andes Mountains that run along the western side, making travel difficult. It describes several plains regions used for grazing including the Llanos, Cerrado, and Pampas. It also outlines some of the major rivers, particularly the immense Amazon River, and islands including the Greater and Lesser Antilles. The passage concludes with a brief overview of Latin America's mineral and energy resources like gold, silver, oil and natural gas.
8.1 - The Fight Against Terrorism
The document outlines several major terrorist attacks from 1979 to 2001, culminating in the 9/11 attacks. It describes how 19 hijackers affiliated with al Qaeda hijacked 4 planes on September 11th, crashing two into the World Trade Center towers and one into the Pentagon, killing nearly 3,000 people. This led the US to launch the War on Terror and form the Department of Homeland Security to combat terrorism and protect domestic security.
7.3 - Subregions of Canada
Canada is divided into several subregions: the Atlantic Provinces, Core Provinces, Prairie Provinces, Pacific Province, and Territories. The Atlantic Provinces rely on logging and fishing due to their rugged terrain. Ontario and Quebec, the Core Provinces, are the economic powerhouses of Canada, containing 60% of the population and most of the country's industry. The Prairie Provinces are Canada's breadbasket, producing over half of the country's crops and minerals. British Columbia, the Pacific Province, contains heavily forested land and Canada's largest port in Vancouver, which conducts $43 billion in annual trade. The Territories cover 41% of Canada's land but contain just 0.3% of its
7.2 - Economy and Culture of Canada
Canada has a productive agricultural sector on its limited arable land and massive forestry and mining industries. Fishing is also important due to Canada's coastline on three oceans and many rivers. The economy was historically agrarian and industrial but is now mostly service-based, with the United States as Canada's largest trading partner due to their open border and trade agreements. Culturally, Canada is multilingual with strong French and English influences, and Quebec maintains a distinct French culture and identity from the rest of Canada.
7.1 - History and Government of Canada
The document provides a history of Canada, beginning with its original population of indigenous peoples who crossed the Bering land bridge thousands of years ago. Vikings briefly established a settlement in Newfoundland around 1000 AD before Europeans returned in 1497 when John Cabot arrived. France and England then began colonizing eastern Canada in the 1500s-1600s, conflicting led to the French and Indian War. After Britain defeated France, it took control of French territory in Canada and the land east of the Mississippi. This led to tensions between the French and English populations, resulting in Canada being split into Upper and Lower Canada in 1791. Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 and has since established itself as an independent nation while still
6.1 - History and Government of The United States
The document summarizes the history of the United States, beginning with the migration of nomadic tribes across the Bering Strait land bridge into North America over 12,000 years ago. It then discusses European exploration and colonization by Spain, France, and England starting in the 16th century. The British colonies rebelled and formed the United States, while Canada remained loyal to Britain. Westward expansion continued in the 19th century, aided by the Louisiana Purchase. Sectionalism over the issue of slavery led to the Civil War from 1861-1865, resulting in over 1 million casualties and the abolition of slavery. After the war, urbanization increased as people migrated to cities.
5.1 - North American Landforms and Resources
North America has a wide variety of landforms including mountains, plains, deserts, and tundra. Some key landforms are the Appalachian Mountains, Interior Lowlands, Canadian Shield, and Rocky Mountains. North America also has an abundance of natural resources like water, forests, minerals, oil, natural gas, and coal. Major river systems include the Mississippi-Missouri-Ohio Rivers and Mackenzie River in Canada. The Great Lakes contain nearly 20% of the earth's fresh surface water.
4.4 - Urban Geography
Urban geography is the study of how people use space in cities and how things are arranged in relation to each other. A city is defined functionally by what it does, not just by its size or population. It serves as the center of business and culture for a surrounding region. Elements of cities include suburbs, which touch the central city or other suburbs, and exurbs, which are smaller residential and commercial units farther from the main city. Land in cities is used for residential, industrial, and commercial purposes, and cities tend to develop near water access, at transportation intersections, or in sheltered areas that provide defensive positions or fuel and food supplies.
4.3 - Political Geography
The document discusses different aspects of political geography including the differences between nations and states. It provides examples of nations without states, such as the Kurds, Basques, and Quebecois people. Geographic characteristics that can impact countries are also outlined, such as size, shape, and location. Countries with access to sea trade or located near peaceful nations tend to have economic and security advantages.
4.2 - Population Geography
There are currently over 6.5 billion people in the world, and population is estimated to increase by over 50% to over 9 billion by 2050. Factors that affect population growth include birth rates, fertility rates, mortality rates, and infant mortality rates. Population geography analyzes population pyramids, push-pull migration factors, and a region's carrying capacity to understand and project population changes.
