The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, prompting between 250,000 to 500,000 Mexicans to enlist in the U.S armed forces in hopes of advancing their social status and feeling a sense of masculinity from their military service. However, Mexicans living in cities struggled to get along with other races and faced poor quality schools and limited economic mobility. The Bracero Program was established as a result of WWII labor shortages, recruiting Mexican nationals for temporary agricultural work in the western U.S. that provided much needed income for many Mexican families.

California Part 1
This document provides an overview of the history and geography of California. It discusses how California was originally thought to be an island called California ruled by Queen Calafia. It describes the native peoples who lived in California prior to European contact and some of the main tribes. It then summarizes the Spanish colonial period in California and how the Spanish explored and established missions. Finally, it discusses the period of Mexican rule over California and the increasing American and international presence in the region in the early to mid-1800s.
California
California has a long history dating back to when Spanish explorers first arrived in the 16th century believing it was an island. It is a geographically diverse state with coastal plains, mountain ranges, and fault lines. For centuries, many native tribes inhabited California prior to European settlement, with diverse cultures and languages. During Mexican rule in the early 19th century, goals were to secularize the missions and promote trade and land grants, but this proved difficult. The economy was based around family and contact with outsiders brought changes. American trappers arrived in the 1820s, and later the Great Depression led to increased labor organizing and major strikes in industries like agriculture and canning.
Chapter 19 section 4
Poverty and discrimination plagued many Americans in the postwar era. Critics argued that while material wealth increased, quality of life had not due to an emphasis on conformity. Beatniks rejected this conformity. Many lived in inner city poverty or rural areas, while African Americans and other minorities faced discrimination. Urban renewal projects displaced the poor and failed to solve economic issues, while public housing led to greater concentration of poverty. Government termination policies for Native Americans and exploitation of migrant workers also exacerbated problems in this era.
Nicaragua
Nicaragua was a target for U.S. imperialism due to its strategic location between oceans, leading the U.S. Marines to occupy the country from 1908 to 1912 and again from 1927 to 1933. However, the U.S. faced a nationalist guerrilla war led by Augusto Sandino, who fought against U.S. companies that owned sugar mills and banana plantations. After Sandino's assassination, his fighters forced the U.S. withdrawal by 1933, though Nicaragua suffered from large foreign debt and the oppressive dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza Debayle from 1967 to 1978, until his assassination of a newspaper editor sparked an outbreak.
California a history part 1
- Chapter 2 discusses the Spanish colonial era in California under the Laws of the Indies, including the work of the Jesuit missionaries to convert Native Americans, who often resisted and tried to escape the mission system. There was also constant conflict between Native Americans and Spanish settlers.
- Chapter 3 covers Mexican rule over California from 1821-1846, including the establishment of large ranchos and the harsh treatment of Native American laborers. It also discusses the idea of Manifest Destiny and John C. Fremont's role in the American conquest of California during the Mexican-American War.
- Chapter 4 outlines the effects of the 1848 California Gold Rush, which brought 200,000 people to California
California
California has a diverse geography and climate that helped support many native tribes with different livelihoods. It contains several major harbors and the highest mountain in the continental US. In the early 20th century, the film industry was drawn to California due to its reliable weather and distance from litigation in the East Coast. Hollywood studios consolidated in the 1920s-30s and faced challenges during the postwar Red Scare. California's population grew steadily through the early 20th century, supported by extensive water projects and agricultural development in southern regions.

Chapter 12 sec2 spanish am war
The US went to war with Spain in 1898 over the Cuban struggle for independence from Spanish rule. Spain's harsh policies in Cuba, including relocating many civilians to camps where thousands died, generated sympathy for the Cuban rebels in the US. Yellow journalism by newspapers exaggerated Spanish atrocities and fueled public support for war. The sinking of the USS Maine in Havana harbor also increased tensions. Under public pressure, McKinley asked Congress to declare war on Spain. The four month war ended in victory for the US, resulting in Cuba gaining nominal independence while becoming a US protectorate and the US acquiring Puerto Rico, Guam, and control of the Philippines.
Miguel Malvar
Miguel Malvar was a Filipino revolutionary general who led forces against Spanish and American colonial rule in the Philippines in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As a leader in the Katipunan movement, he participated in battles against Spanish forces and later assumed control of Filipino revolutionary forces after Emilio Aguinaldo's capture by Americans. Facing scorched earth tactics by American General James Franklin Bell that killed thousands of Filipino civilians, Malvar surrendered in 1902 to prevent further loss of life, becoming the last Filipino general to do so. He then lived a quiet life farming until his death in 1911.
1980's political situation, showbisness, and significant event
Ferdinand Marcos was the President of the Philippines from 1965 to 1986. While he implemented some economic reforms and infrastructure projects, his authoritarian rule was marked by corruption, human rights abuses, and the assassination of his main political opponent, Benigno Aquino Sr. in 1983. Mass protests over the assassination contributed to the People Power Revolution in 1986, which saw Marcos removed from power and exiled in Hawaii as it was discovered he had embezzled billions of public dollars.
The Great Depresssion
Unemployment increased dramatically during the Great Depression, sending many families into poverty as companies and individuals fell deeply into debt. When people lost their jobs, they could no longer afford necessities like mortgages, food, and basic needs, leaving many homeless and hungry as daily struggles increased. The lives and hardships of people during this era influenced art and culture, as depicted in murals of the time, while African Americans faced even greater difficulties due to worsening economic conditions and loss of work.

Imperialism and colonialism differed in that colonialism referred to the domination of one country over another, while imperialism justified the act of colonization. The British Empire expanded greatly under Queen Victoria, establishing colonies in India, Africa, and the Middle East for economic and territorial reasons. New imperialist powers like the United States also grew through asserting political and economic control over countries in Central America, the Caribbean, and the Pacific. Both colonial administration and wars like the Spanish-American War further extended imperial influence over colonized populations and territories.
Chapter 16 - Independent Philippines
1) The Philippines was liberated from Japanese occupation starting in 1944 by MacArthur-led Allied forces. Manila was left devastated after intense fighting, with organized Japanese resistance ending in 1945.
2) Osmeña faced immense challenges rebuilding the nation as president, but MacArthur pressured him to hold elections and endorsed Roxas, who won and became the new president.
3) Settling the issue of Japanese collaborators proved complicated, and Roxas later granted amnesty to resolve unity issues and focus on rehabilitation. The US provided economic aid but required changes to the Philippine constitution.

The document then shifts to discussing the hard times of President Lincoln during the American Civil War, including the high death toll from wounds and infections. It concludes by mentioning the completion of the Brooklyn Bridge after 14 years of construction by immigrant laborers paid $2 per day, and a corrupt politician who helped the poor while stealing money until being jailed. Jacob Riis then documented the poor living conditions of tenements and child poverty in his work.
Diego de landa
Diego de Landa was a 16th century Spanish Franciscan friar and the second bishop of the Yucatan in Mexico. He learned the Maya language and documented their culture, but later launched a brutal inquisition against the Maya people to force their conversion to Christianity, torturing and killing many in the process. In 1562, he burned thousands of native religious images and painted books in an effort to erase Maya culture and spirituality. Landa's inquisition was eventually stopped by another bishop and he was tried in Spain for his excesses, though he did write an important account of Maya culture and religion.
Mexicanos Part 1
Spanish history in the region dates back 35,000-10,000 BC based on early cave paintings. The Iberian Peninsula served as a bridge between Europe and Africa, exposing Spain to various influences. The most influential early group were the Romans, who introduced Christianity and referred to locals as "Hispania". Hernan Cortes conquered the Aztec Empire in the early 1500s with help from the Indian slave Malinche, killing the Aztec emperor Moctezuma II. Cortes and others like Alvar Nunez Cabeza De Vaca and Francis Drake explored the Americas in search of gold, land, and riches for Spain. France also explored the region, with Rene-Robert Cavelier naming

The document discusses the impact of the Great Depression on Mexican communities in the United States. It began with the stock market crash in October 1929, which caused widespread job losses among both Mexicans and Americans. Mexican populations in New Mexico were particularly affected. Farms had to sell machinery. Racism was high in the 1920s, with anti-Mexican sentiment wanting a "pure" America, but Mexican populations continued to grow, especially among railroad workers traveling from Texas to Chicago and living in Mexican neighborhoods called barrios.

Arizona sb1070
SB 1070 allows Arizona law enforcement to question the immigration status of individuals stopped for possible state violations. The Arizona state legislature passed SB 1070 in 2010 and it was signed into law by Governor Jan Brewer. However, SB 1070 has failed to stop illegal immigration across Arizona's border with Mexico. Other states have introduced or announced their own versions of Arizona's SB 1070 immigration law, and local frustration with immigration is an issue seen beyond just the United States, such as in Milan, Italy where officials have begun targeting immigrants using public transportation.
