World war i_russian_revtreatyofversnazismwwdepressionupdated2009
World War I was caused by rising nationalism, ethnic conflicts, and imperial rivalries in Europe that led countries to take sides in an alliance system. Germany and Austria-Hungary faced off against Russia, France, Britain and later the United States. The war was fought largely in trenches and marked the first use of modern weaponry like machine guns and chemical weapons. The United States entered the war in 1917 after German submarines sank American ships. The war ended in 1918 with the defeat of Germany and the Treaty of Versailles, which imposed harsh penalties on Germany and caused resentment. This resentment contributed to the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis in Germany in the following decades.
Environmental concerns of latin america
Latin America faces several major environmental issues related to pollution. Mexico City has extremely high levels of air pollution due to its large population, high elevation, and surrounding mountains that trap pollutants. The Brazilian government's development led to deforestation of the Amazon rainforest, endangering wildlife and increasing carbon dioxide emissions. Venezuela produces a large amount of oil, but this has caused toxic waste, air and water pollution, and damage to Lake Maracaibo from extraction. Groups are now calling for renewable energy and pollution prevention and clean-up efforts.
Physicalfeaturesoflatinamerica2
Latin America's physical geography can be divided into three regions:
1) Mexico and Central America, characterized by mountain ranges like the Sierra Madre and volcanoes in Central America. The Isthmus of Panama contains the Panama Canal.
2) The Caribbean islands vary in size, from small coral islands to larger islands atop underwater mountains like Cuba and Jamaica. The Caribbean Sea surrounds the islands.
3) South America features the towering Andes Mountains along the western coast and the immense Amazon River basin and rainforest. The continent also includes the massive Atacama Desert and Pacific Ocean coastline.
Latin american culture
Latin American culture is diverse, with influences from the native populations, Europeans, and Africans who mixed over time. The cultures vary by region but Catholicism is predominant. While some with European heritage have more opportunities, other groups are demanding greater equality and representation in government.

The document discusses the history of Europe in the early 20th century. It describes how nationalism rose in the late 1800s and fueled the creation of European empires. World War I began in 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and devastated Europe. After the war, the Treaty of Versailles imposed harsh terms on Germany. Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany in the 1930s and initiated World War II by invading Poland in 1939. The postwar period saw Europe divided between the capitalist West allied with the US and NATO, and the communist East allied with the Soviet Union under Stalin and the Warsaw Pact.
Factors of production
The document discusses four key factors that influence economic growth: investment in human capital through education and training; investment in capital goods; natural resources available; and entrepreneurship. It states that a country's gross domestic product depends on the presence or absence of these factors and measures its economic growth. To encourage growth and improve standards of living, countries must invest in developing their human capital and capital goods.
Columbian exchange
The document discusses the Columbian Exchange that occurred between Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas following Christopher Columbus' voyage in 1492. Key aspects of the exchange included:

Chapter 3 section 1 power point
Conquistadors followed Columbus to the Americas, seizing gold and converting natives to Christianity while spreading disease. Cortes allied with conquered natives against the Aztecs in Mexico, capturing their leader Moctezuma. Pizarro similarly captured the Incan leader Atahulpa in Peru after he paid a ransom. The Spanish were able to defeat the Aztec and Incan empires through superior technology, help from discontented Indians, and disease that killed many natives.
Unit three pp 3
Spanish conquistadors like Hernan Cortes and Francisco Pizarro explored and conquered the Aztec and Inca Empires in the early 1500s, taking their rulers prisoner and claiming the regions for Spain. They were able to defeat the powerful empires through advantages in weapons, horses, and diseases that killed many Native Americans. Spain went on to establish settlements, missions, and presidios across its American territories and implemented a strict social class system with Peninsulares at the top. Native Americans were initially enslaved through the encomienda system until laws were passed in the 1540s to protect their rights.
The conquistadors in America - 6th.pptx
The Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés landed in Mexico in 1518 with 500 soldiers determined to conquer more of the Americas. He started by defeating the Aztec Empire led by their ruler Montezuma. Cortés captured the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlán and had Montezuma killed. Though inferior weapons, the Aztecs were also weakened by believing Cortés was a god at first and then fell into confusion after Montezuma's death. Cortés went on to build a new capital on the site of Tenochtitlán, establishing Spain's control over Mexico.
Chapter 2 sec 1
Hernan Cortez conquered the Aztec Empire in Mexico in 1521 after allying with enemies of the Aztecs and using superior Spanish weapons, horses and armor. He established the city of Mexico City on the ruins of the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, making it the capital of New Spain. Meanwhile, Francisco Pizarro conquered the Inca Empire in South America. The Spanish and French began expanding their empires across North and South America in the 1500s and 1600s through conquest and establishing settlements, with the Spanish focused on converting native populations to Christianity.
Spanish Explorers
The document provides a summary of key explorations and events in the Americas between 1000 AD and 1682 AD, including:
- Leif Erikson discovers North America around 1000 AD.
- Many Spanish explorers explore Central and South America in the early 1500s, including Columbus, Cortez, Pizarro, Balboa, and Coronado.
- French explorers Jacques Cartier and Samuel de Champlain explore Canada and the Mississippi River valley in the 1500s-1600s.
- The English explorer Sir Francis Drake becomes the first to circumnavigate the globe in 1577.
Colonization: Atrocities
1) The document describes the Spanish conquest of native American empires including the Aztecs and Incas. It details how conquistadors like Cortes and Pizarro, with only a few hundred men but superior weapons and horses, were able to defeat armies of millions.
2) Disease devastated native populations, with up to 90% dying in some regions. This aided the conquest. The conquistadors enslaved survivors and seized gold and territory, making Spain rich and powerful.
3) For native Americans, the conquest brought immense suffering as their populations declined and empires fell. Many converted to Christianity hoping it would end their suffering. Resistance continued for centuries but survivors had lost most of their
Theme 3: The Spanish Empire
1. The Spanish document discusses the history of the Spanish Empire and its conquest of the Aztec Empire in Mexico between 1492-1521. It describes Christopher Columbus' voyage, Hernan Cortes' expedition and conquest, and the fall of the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan.
2. It then discusses the Spanish colonial system that was established, including the encomienda system which exploited native labor. Native culture and religion were suppressed and mestizo people of mixed Spanish-Native ancestry emerged.
3. The document concludes with biographies of native figures like Diego, a priest who preserved indigenous rituals secretly, and Tecuichpotzin, the daughter of the Aztec emperor Moct
Ch 10 a deadly meeting
- Cortés led an expedition from Spain's Caribbean colonies to the Aztec-ruled Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, establishing a colony on the coast.
- As Cortés marched inland to the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, he encountered other indigenous groups and employed a strategy of allying with them against the Aztecs.
- Emperor Moctezuma initially allowed the Spanish to enter Tenochtitlan but they soon placed him under house arrest. After clashes between the Aztecs and Spanish, the city was destroyed following an 80-day siege, replacing the Aztec empire with a Spanish colony.
Sailing west to go east
Christopher Columbus received support from Queen Isabella of Spain to sail west to reach India. In 1492, Columbus set sail with 90 sailors in three ships and landed in the Bahamas, believing he had reached Asia. The Treaty of Tordesillas divided control of newly discovered lands between Spain and Portugal. Hernan Cortes and Francisco Pizarro later conquered the Aztec and Inca empires, respectively, in Mexico and Peru through military tactics that took advantage of political divisions within the indigenous populations.

Ga doe gandhi_lesson
Gandhi's belief in non-violent protest shaped India greatly. His leadership of non-violent movements against British rule influenced India to gain independence. Non-violent protests, including strikes and civil disobedience, put pressure on the British to leave. As a result of Gandhi's influential advocacy of non-violence, India was able to achieve self-rule through non-violent means rather than armed conflict.
Ss7 h3.a independence_of_india
Nationalism in India grew in the 1800s as the British imposed unfair economic and political policies on Indians. This led groups like the Indian National Congress and Muslim League to call for independence. Mohandas Gandhi advocated non-violent civil disobedience, which put pressure on the British economy. After World War 2, Britain granted India independence in 1947, but religious disputes led to the partition of India and Pakistan.
Ss7 h3.a independence_of_india
Gandhi led non-violent protests in India against British rule through civil disobedience and the famous Salt March. Nationalism grew in India in the 1800s as the British exploited the nation's resources and people. Gandhi's tactics of non-compliance with unfair laws through boycotts and refusal to pay taxes put economic pressure on Britain and eventually led to India gaining independence in 1947 after World War II, though the country was partitioned along religious lines into India and Pakistan.
Ethnic groups
Ethnic groups are defined by shared language and culture, often including shared values and religion. Religious groups are defined by a common belief system. Literacy rates and poverty rates are closely linked - countries with higher literacy rates tend to have lower poverty rates and better standards of living. Literacy rates also affect economic development, with illiteracy limiting job opportunities and higher literacy allowing for more skilled jobs.

Independence in vietnam
China controlled Vietnam for nearly 1000 years until 939. After independence from China, Vietnam thrived as an advanced culture until the late 1800s when France colonized it. The end of WWII marked the beginning of Vietnam's fight for independence from France under Ho Chi Minh. It took 8 years of fighting but the French were defeated in 1954. The US then entered to fight on the side of South Vietnam against Ho Chi Minh's North Vietnam, but ultimately withdrew in 1975 after failing to contain the spread of communism.
Trade barriers
This document discusses trade barriers such as tariffs and quotas that countries impose on imports. Tariffs are taxes on imported goods that raise their prices, making domestic goods more competitive. Quotas limit the quantity of imports allowed, creating shortages that also raise prices of imported goods. While trade barriers protect domestic industries and jobs, they ultimately hurt consumers by reducing competition and choice, and raising the costs of goods. Most economists agree that free trade is better for economic growth.

There are three basic types of economic systems: traditional, command, and market. Most textbooks say the most common system throughout the world is a mixed system, which is a blending of characteristics from different basic systems rather than being a distinct system itself. Real-world countries exhibit mixtures of market and command features to varying degrees.

There are three basic types of economic systems: traditional, command, and market. Most textbooks say the most common system worldwide is a mixed system on a continuum between pure market and pure command. Israel has a market system oriented economy focused on high tech and services. Saudi Arabia has a command system focused on oil with government involvement in other industries. Turkey has moved toward more private enterprise but still has some government direction, placing it farther left on the continuum than Israel or Saudi Arabia.

This document discusses the four factors of production that influence economic growth: investment in human capital, investment in capital goods, natural resources, and entrepreneurship. It explains that the presence or absence of these four factors determine a country's gross domestic product. Nations that invest in education and training will have a more productive workforce that can boost technological advances and GDP. Economic growth is measured by increases in GDP over time and is influenced by a country's resources and investments in physical and human capital.
