The document discusses factors that influence global and local population distributions. It notes that over 90% of Brazil's population lives along the eastern coast in a 500km wide strip, accounting for less than 25% of the country's land area.

A travelogue of my recent trip to Argentina, most to Buenos Aires, but including excursion to Iguazú waterfalls, Tigre, and Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay
2. HISTORY
Columbus first set foot on the American mainland in Trujillo in
1502
Named the region Honduras (meaning great depth) for the deep
water off the coast.
The Spaniards soon moved into the cooler highlands and were
constantly battling with native tribes, including Chief Lemira's army
of 30,000, who almost drove the Spanish out of the region until he
was murdered while attending peace talks in 1537.
Comayagua (co-my-a-gwa) was declared the Spanish colonial
capital a year later.
When gold and silver was discovered around Tegucigalpa in 1570,
British and Dutch ships began attacking treasure galleons headed
out of Trujillo.
Pirates settled the Caribbean coast and looted and burned Trujillo
in 1643.
3. HISTORY (cont)
The British established a protectorate along the
Caribbean coasts, ostensibly to keep the area free of
pirates and protect the native Miskito tribes; but
British fortunes were made from the mahogany
forests of the region.
Honduras broke free from Spain in 1821 and first
became part of an independent Mexico.
The Honduran Republic was established in 1838,
and the British relinquished the Caribbean coastal
region in 1859.
4. GEOGRAPHY/ENVIRONMENT
Honduras is located in Central America, bordering the
Caribbean Sea, between Guatemala and Nicaragua and
bordering the Gulf of Fonseca (North Pacific Ocean),
between El Salvador and Nicaragua
Terrain mostly mountains in interior and narrow coastal
plains.
Natural hazards include: frequent but mild earthquakes
and extremely high cases of hurricanes and floods along
the Caribbean coast
Has only a short Pacific coast but a long Caribbean
shoreline, including the virtually uninhabited eastern
Mosquito Coast
5. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
Urban population expanding
Deforestation results from logging and the clearing
of land for agricultural purposes
Further land degradation and soil erosion hastened
by uncontrolled development and improper land use
practices such as farming of marginal lands
Mining activities polluting Lago de Yojoa (the
country's largest source of fresh water), as well as
several rivers and streams, with heavy metals
7. POLITICAL HISTORY
Honduran has had several military coups, rebellions,
dictatorships, and chess-game politics ever since independence
from Spain.
Banana power ruled until the 1960s.
1969 Football War
Guerrilla warfare surrounds Honduras in the 1980s
Rafael Callejas becomes president of Honduras in 1990; refuses
to continue a treaty with the United States allowing Honduras to
be used as a military base, and the Contras left the country.
Without U.S. monetary and political support, most of Honduras'
international trade shifted to countries in the European Union.
Jose Manuel Zelaya Rosales becomes President Jan. 27, 2006

12. Did You Know??
Crime is one of Honduras’ major concern; street crimes including purse
snatching, pickpocketing, assault and arm robberies are on the rise.
Carjackings, kidnappings, muggings and sexual assaults are not
uncommon.
Poverty, gangs, low apprehension and conviction rates of criminals
contribute to a high crime rate. Many men in Honduras carry
firearms and machetes, and disputes are sometimes settled with
violence.
There are problems with the judicial system including an acute shortage
of trained personnel, equipment, staff, financial resources and
reports of corruption
Unmarked mine fields are located on both sides of the Honduras-
Nicaragua border and in the area near the Atlantic Coast.
Landslides and floods resulting from Hurricane Mitch have scattered
many of the remaining mines, making the border area unsafe.
13. IT IS RECOMMENDED...
That you do not approach children or women since many people in
Honduras fear that children are being kidnapped for adoption or for
theft of vital organs!!
That you prepare your routes before setting out and avoid studying
your map in the street as you will be broadcasting the fact that you
don’t know where you are.
That you avoid clothing that declares your nationality or political
beliefs
You carry money in small denominations at all times, so you have
change for the taxi bill and don’t need a large note where you may not
receive change.
That you do not take photographs of government or military
installations, and antiques purchases are frequent cause of detention by
local authorities.
