California has a long history and was originally inhabited by many Native American tribes like the Chumash and Maidu who spoke different languages. The first Europeans to arrive were Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo in 1542 and Sir Francis Drake in 1579. Spain began colonizing California in 1769 through building missions to convert Native Americans to Catholicism. After Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821, California became a Mexican province. American settlers revolted against Mexico and formed the short-lived Bear Flag Republic in 1846 before California joined the United States later that year after the Mexican-American War.

California assig#4 history 141
California was named after Queen Calafia, the ruler of a mythical island of black Amazons in a 1510 Spanish romance novel. In 1533, Spanish explorers sailing from Mexico landed in what they believed was an island but was actually a peninsula, naming it California. Native Americans had lived in the region for centuries before European contact. During World War II, over 100,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly removed from California and incarcerated due to racism and fears of sabotage. California's population and economy boomed in the postwar years due to developments in industries like aviation, electronics, and biotechnology that were pioneered in the state. Today California leads the nation in biotech research and manufacturing.

California has a long history of diversity, beginning with the Native Americans who lived there for centuries prior to European settlement. When the Spanish first arrived in the 16th century, they encountered the indigenous populations and initially believed California was an island inhabited by black Amazons. Over subsequent centuries, California attracted immigrants from around the world, including Mexico, Latin America, Asia, the Dust Bowl states, and refugees fleeing places like Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. By the 1990s and 2000s, census data showed minorities had become the majority in California, with the largest ethnic groups being Hispanic, Caucasian, and Asian.

The Mystery of Black Holes
Black holes were first predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity in 1916. They are regions of space where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape. Black holes are formed when massive stars collapse at the end of their life cycles. There are two main types - stellar black holes, which are 10-20 times the mass of our sun, and supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies, which can be millions of times more massive than the sun. Though once theoretical, black holes are now understood to exist throughout the universe and have profound effects on the structure and evolution of galaxies.

Mars is the second smallest planet in the solar system nicknamed the "Red Planet" due to its iron-rich soil. It has the largest volcano in the solar system called Olympus Mons, which is over 3 times taller than Everest. Mars also has two small moons called Phobos and Deimos and an atmosphere that is 100 times less dense than Earth's but can still support weather. While no current life has been found, water ice exists on Mars and research continues to understand if it could support human habitation.
An Exploration of the Comet
Comets are microscopic bodies made of ice and dust that formed during the early formation of the solar system. Their nuclei contain water, methane, and other ices. When heated by the Sun, these ices melt and form two tails - a dust tail and an ion tail. Comets originate from the Oort cloud and Kuiper belt, and are believed to have brought water and organic molecules to Earth. Famous comets include Halley's Comet which returns every 75 years, as well as Hale-Bopp and Hyakutake.
A Brief History of Texas
Texas has a long and diverse history dating back 11,000 years. Various indigenous tribes inhabited the land for millennia before Europeans arrived in the 1500s, including the Karankawa, Caddo, and Apache tribes who lived as hunters, farmers, and artisans. Spain first colonized Texas in the late 1500s, though French settlers also attempted colonization in the late 1600s. Texas broke from Spanish rule in 1821 when it became part of Mexico. American settlers immigrated but faced resistance from Mexican officials, leading to the Texas Revolution and Texas becoming an independent nation in 1836. Texas then joined the United States in 1845 as the 28th state.

California
- 1. B Y A M I T A V A D L A M U D I THE HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA
- 3. INTRODUCTION • California is one of the most prominent states in the United States. • Located on the western coast of Northern America, it has a population of over 35 million. It is the third largest state (area wise) after Alaska and Texas, respectively. • California is famously known for its big cities, varied topography, favorable climate, and large economy. The most notable feature out of these is the economy of California. It ranks 5th in the world, beating the UK. In 2017, California boasted almost $2.8 trillion – bigger than any other state in the U.S.
- 4. THE STATE’S HISTORY • Thousands of years ago, California was occupied by diverse groups of native people. At that time, the land was known as “Alta California”. When Europeans first arrived there, they found many Native American tribes residing in the land. Some of them were the Chumash, Mohave, Yuma, Pomo, and Maidu. • All of these tribes used to speak different forms of language. Different areas of the land were separated in terms of mountain ranges and deserts. This is the reason why they spoke different languages and followed different cultures. They also lived a simple life - hunted, fished, and ate nuts and fruits for food.
- 5. THE ARRIVAL OF EUROPEANS • In 1542, a Spanish ship captained by Portuguese citizen – Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo was the first explorer to arrive in California. • After many years, in 1579, an English explorer Sir Francis Drake arrived near the coast of San Francisco and declared the land for England. However, the land wasn’t to be occupied by the Europeans for another 200 years.
- 6. CALIFORNIA BECOMES SPANISH COLONY • In 1769, the Spanish started building several missions in California. They built 21 missions near the coast of California in hopes of converting the Native Americans into Catholicism. They also built various forts namely presidios and small towns such as pueblos. Spain began colonizing the area at this time.
- 7. PROVINCE OF MEXICO • After the independence of Mexico from Spain in 1821, California became a province of Mexico. During the Mexican rule, many cattle ranchers settled in the region. • Various people also came to this region for trade purposes. They trapped and traded in beaver furs and earned their livelihood this way.
- 8. THE BEAR REPUBLIC • By the 1840s, more people, especially natives of the East, arrived in California using the Oregon Trail and the California Trail. • These settlers, led by John Fremont, soon started a revolt against the Mexican rule. 1n 1846, the settlers declared their own independent country and called it the Bear Flag Republic.
- 9. CALIFORNIA JOINS THE UNITED STATES • The same year, in 1846, the United States and Mexico went to a war, known as, the Mexican-American War. • The war ended in 1848 and California became the territory of the United States. After two years, on September 9, 1850, California was claimed as the 31st state of America. • The demography of California completely changed when gold was discovered at Sutter’s Mill in 1848. The population surge that began at this time, continued and now California leads in the size of the population at nearly 39,000 million surpassing all other U.S. states.
