Colombia has a multicultural society influenced by indigenous, Spanish, and African cultures. The country has immense geographic diversity, ranging from tropical beaches to snow-capped mountains over 5,000 meters high. This natural isolation has led to cultural differences between regions. Some major cultural groups include those from the Altiplano Cundiboyacense plateau, Antioquia, eastern plains, Valle del Cauca region, and coastal areas. Colombia's culture is a blend of native, Spanish colonial, and African influences that make it similar yet different to other Latin American societies.
Colombia
Colombia was first inhabited by indigenous groups like the Muisca and Tairona. It was claimed by Spain in 1499 and became part of the Republic of New Granada after independence in 1819. Colombia has the oldest conservative and liberal parties in South America, which originated in the 1840s. In recent decades, guerrilla groups lost control of territory after peace processes, and homicide rates declined but increased again in some cities due to gangs. The population is mostly mestizo or white, with indigenous and Afro-Colombian minorities concentrated in certain areas.

Hist 141 theme 7
This document discusses Britain's declining influence and economic troubles in Latin America in the mid-20th century. As the US gained power after WWII, Britain went into debt to the US and Latin American countries. Britain's pre-1914 investments in Latin America were transferred to local governments to pay off debts. The document also examines political and economic instability in newly independent Latin American countries in the early 19th century, including Mexico facing invasion and conflicts over the role of the church.
Hist 141 theme 5 part 2
Colombian literature during Spanish rule focused on religion, with notable authors like Juan de Castellanos and Francisca Josefa del Castillo. After independence, literature had romantic and political themes influenced by Simón Bolívar and others. In the late 19th century, costumbrista literature criticized society and government. Modernism and nothingism movements followed in the early 20th century, inspired by violence. Colombian architecture was originally European but later drew from England and France. In the 1940s, most Colombians lived in simple cinder block homes. Popular dances included bambuco, vallenato, and porro, while music genres included salsa, adopted from Puerto Rico, and folk music in African communities.
Hist 140 theme 5
The Jesuit Relations provide first-hand accounts of French missionaries seeking to convert Indigenous peoples in New France to Catholicism in the 17th century. They describe the customs and beliefs of the Montagnais, Huron, and other groups. However, the missionaries faced many challenges including disease epidemics that killed many Natives, as well as hostility from the Iroquois who tortured and killed some of the Jesuits, such as Father Jogues. The Relations provide valuable historical information but also reflect the missionaries' goal of cultural conversion.
Hist 140 theme 4 part 2
The document summarizes aspects of life and government in the Chesapeake colonies, including:
1) The government had four tiers with the King at the top, followed by the governor, council, and assembly, then the county courts, and finally family households.
2) Laborers in the colonies initially included enslaved Native Americans but many died of disease, so colonists began importing African slaves who eventually made up 40% of the population.
3) In the 1670s, colonists rebelled against Governor Berkeley due to declining incomes, heavy taxes, and his favoritism in land distribution; the rebellion was led by Nathaniel Bacon but eventually collapsed after his death.
Hist 140 theme 4 part 1
The document summarizes the French settlements in North America, including Canada, Iroquoia, and Louisiana. It describes how the French settled in Canada along the St. Lawrence River to trade furs with local Algonquin and Iroquoian tribes. They relied on alliances with native groups for survival. The French also established settlements in Louisiana with the goal of expanding the fur trade, though Louisiana struggled with an underdeveloped economy. Conflicts arose between the French, English, Spanish, and various native tribes as they competed for resources and trade in North America.
Hist 140 theme 3
The document summarizes information about four individuals and topics related to Portuguese colonialism in Brazil:
1) Damiana Cunha, a leader of the Caiapo people who fought to preserve their way of life and beliefs against settlers and government interference.
2) Antonio de Gouveia, a corrupt priest who practiced medicine illegally and attacked indigenous people.
3) Catarina de Monte Sinay, a nun and entrepreneur who accumulated wealth but broke religious laws with her business dealings and donations.
4) Brief histories of Portugal, the Portuguese Empire, and Colonial Brazil's economy focused on sugar production and the mining of gold and diamonds.

The Little Ice Age caused global cooling from the 14th to 19th centuries due to decreased solar activity, increased volcanic eruptions, and changes in ocean currents. This led to malnutrition, disease, lower food production, and isolated civilizations.
The Americas experienced independence movements in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The United States declared independence in 1776 and had a civil war from 1860-1865 over slavery. Canada gradually gained independence. Latin America had bloody battles for freedom but struggled to create stable governments.
Violence was common in frontier areas of America as a way to assert honor and status. Politics in 19th century Brazil centered around family alliances. The Union realized it needed to fully target

1. The document discusses the history of human migration out of Africa beginning around 60,000 years ago. Genetic evidence suggests all modern humans can trace their DNA back to one man in Africa from that time period.
2. Around 45,000 years ago, humans developed advanced cognitive abilities like symbolic thought that allowed them to spread throughout the world. They created art, built sturdier structures, and developed broader diets.
3. New technologies like DNA testing, carbon dating, and satellite imagery have helped historians solve mysteries by narrowing search areas and learning more about the past. However, technology cannot replace understanding the human context of events.

History 141 them4 5
- 1. Kelly WagnerHistory 141/ Spring 2011Theme 5 Nation Report
- 2. Columbia: Geography Located in the Northwest region of South America, Columbia is “characterized” by five main natural regions: the Andes Mountain Range, the Pacific Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, the Llanos plain and the Amazon Rainforest. Due to the extreme differences in elevation, it gives the country a wide variety of temperatures from the coast to inland. Columbians tend to refer to their climate in zones of elevation. If you are under 2900 feet you are in the “hot zone,” between 2900 and 6500 feet, the “temperate zone,” and then 6500 to 1200 feet, the “cold zone.” About 86% of the country lies in the “hot zone.”
- 3. The Andean region is divided upon three “cordilleras.” The Cordillera Occidental, has relatively low peaks at 9800 feet, is the least populated and has dense vegetation. The Cordillera Occidental is divided from the Cordillera Central by the Cauca Valley. The Cordillera Central has the highest peaks ranging from 10,800 feet to 17,600 feet, and is the most densely populated of the three. It is the most active ranges, involving several volcanoes. Between the Cordillera Central and the Cordillera Oriental is the river of Magdalena. The peaks of the Cordillera Oriental ranger from 8200 feet to 8800 feet, with three large basins suitable for settling on. The Caribbean region consists of lowlands, shaped in a triangle, from the northern part of the Cordillera Oriental. Located inland from these costal cities Cartagena and Santa Marta are swamplands, hidden streams, and shallow lakes that support farms and banana and cotton plantations. In the Pacific Region, the climate is not quiet accurate to provide what people need to live. The area is jungle and swamp like, with no way to provide useful resources. In the Orinoquíaregion, located east of the Andes, lies the plains, where there is little population and a unique wildlife. Then in the Amazon region, is home to the rainforest. This is where many grand rivers connect to the Atlantic Ocean.
- 4. People The approximate population of Columbia is 44.91 million people, at a growth rate of about 1.4%. The primary religion that consists of 90% of the population is Roman Catholic, while the other 10% are a mix. Different ethnic groups consist of Mestizo (58%), white (20%), Mulatto (14%), black (14%), mixed black-Amerindian (3%), and Amerindian (1%) and they all speak Spanish.
- 6. History In 1499 Spanish explorers made the first exploration to the Caribbean, led by Rodrigo de Bastidas. Exploration continued to the founding of the Pacifc Ocean, Chile and Peru. In 1525 Santa Marta and then in 1533 Cartagena were founded. In 1535, an expedition led by Gonzalo Jiminez de Quesada, found the “New City of Granada,” which later became “Santa Fé de Bogotá.” Also during this time there were expeditions that founded the city of Cali and the city of Popayán. Then, Nicolas Federman, went over to the Cordillera Oriental, found the Caribbean people of the tribes Chibchan and Carib and eventually conquered them. From the beginning of the conquests by the Spanish rule, there were always rebellions for independence. None were successful enough or had enough energy to keep going, except the rebellions under Simón Bolívar Francisco de Paula Santander. In November 1811 a movement that led to the independence of Cartagena, also led to “the formation of two independent governments,” that fought a civil war. Columbia achieved independence in 1824.
- 7. After Columbia’s independence, it went through several years of name changing and became the Republic of Columbia. Then under the influence of the United States built the Panama Canal, which the United States paid $25 million seven years after the completion. On April 9, 1948 the assassination of the Liberal presidential candidate Jorge EliécerGaitán was the last straw between the two political parties and caused years of bloody battles. Between the years 1953 to 1964, the tension started to die down, after 180,000 Columbians had died. The National Front ended that period of tension, known as “La Violencia.” It also ensured the Liberal and Conservatives of governing together from that point on. Throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s the infamous drug cartels moved onto the scene, some having their own illegal armed groups. In 1991, The New Columbian Constitution was ratified. In the recent years Columbia is still being over run by the drug trades, even when their president Andrés Pastrana tries to negotiate. Then during the presidency of ÁlvaroUribe, increased pressure on these illicit groups and over all violence decreased. More people started to travel and tourism increased because of new security.
