Us history 6th March, 2012
The document provides an overview of key events and developments in US history from the War of 1812 through the Monroe administration. Some of the main topics covered include the causes and results of the War of 1812; Andrew Jackson's military career and Indian removal policies; the development of political parties and the "Virginia dynasty"; and the establishment of the Monroe Doctrine. The survey touches on westward expansion, slavery, and the growth of industry during this period.
World_Themes: Manifest Destiny
Manifest Destiny was a 19th century belief that American settlers had a divine right to expand westward across North America. This ideology contributed to U.S. territorial expansion through the Louisiana Purchase, annexation of Texas, and Oregon Territory, which more than doubled the size of the country. It also helped provoke the Mexican-American War from 1846 to 1848, after which the U.S. acquired vast new lands in the Southwest, including California.
The American Revolution
The document discusses the events leading up to the American Revolution from the 1700s through the Revolutionary War in the 1770s. It describes how England's debts from the French and Indian War led them to impose taxes on the American colonies through acts like the Stamp Act and Tea Act. Tensions rose and the Boston Tea Party occurred in protest. The Intolerable Acts in response sparked the First Continental Congress and ultimately war between the colonies and Britain, culminating in American independence being recognized in the Treaty of Paris in 1783.
The Great War
The document discusses the causes and key events of the United States' involvement in World War I. Improved technology and nationalism in European countries set the stage for conflict. The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand provided the spark for war. Though Wilson advocated neutrality, American sentiment favored the Allies and new military technology enabled industrialized warfare. Germany rejected Wilson's peace plan, and intercepting the Zimmerman Telegram convinced the US to enter the war in 1917. The US mobilized its economy and citizens with propaganda. Over 43,000 American service members died, including from the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. The war greatly increased the federal government's role and cost over $33 billion. It also prompted women's suffrage, which
Chapter 9 group presentation
The chief goal of American expansionists in the 1800s was to spread "American ideals" and values by expanding U.S. territory across North America, driven by the belief of Manifest Destiny that God intended the U.S. to control the entire continent. Expansionists first emerged after the American Revolution and pushed for acquiring Oregon Country and other lands. Key events furthering expansion included the election of James K. Polk on a platform of acquiring Oregon and settling the border with Britain.
Manifest destiny
The document discusses the concept of Manifest Destiny in the United States between 1803-1854. It describes how Thomas Jefferson and the Louisiana Purchase expanded U.S. territory to the Pacific Ocean. Settlers moved west for land, wealth, and freedom, which led to territorial disputes with Native Americans. The Oregon, Santa Fe, and Mormon trails enabled westward migration despite dangers like attacks and disease. The Mormon movement established settlements in Utah Territory after facing religious persecution.

Salutary Neglect & French and Indian War
The document provides information on several topics:
1) It discusses John Zenger's arrest and trial for libel against the governor of New York in 1734, in which Zenger was found not guilty, establishing freedom of the press.
2) It describes the policy of "salutary neglect" used by England in the 1600-1700s to decrease trade regulations and allow the colonies to prosper, which also led the colonies to believe they no longer needed England.
3) It explains how self-government developed in the colonies through entities like the Virginia Company and the establishment of legislatures, giving more power to the people than in England.
Republic of West Florida/Beginning of Manifest Destiny
The document summarizes the history of West Florida and its role in the early expansion of the United States. It describes how West Florida came under Spanish control in 1763 after the French and Indian War. Tensions grew as American settlers moved into the region and objected to the inefficient and corrupt Spanish governance. In 1810, American settlers led by Philemon Thomas captured the fort at Baton Rouge, declared the Republic of West Florida, and replaced the Spanish flag with an American one. President Madison accepted the territory, establishing the precedent for the U.S. acquiring new lands without war or compensation and fueling the concept of Manifest Destiny.
Events in the US History (Part 2)
The Tea Party event involved colonists dressed as Native Americans throwing tea from British ships into Boston Harbor in 1773. The American War of Independence lasted from 1775 to 1783. At the end of the war, the Peace Treaty of Paris was signed, with Britain recognizing American independence and New York becoming the temporary U.S. capital.
Mexican American War
The Mexican-American War lasted from 1846 to 1848 and was fought between the United States and Mexico over the disputed territory of Texas. Inspired by the concept of Manifest Destiny, U.S. President James Polk sought to expand U.S. territory and authorized military action after Mexico refused to sell California and New Mexico. Key battles included Palo Alto, the first major battle of the war. The war ended with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, where Mexico ceded California, Utah, and parts of other western states to the U.S. Casualties totaled over 1,700 Americans killed and 25,000 estimated Mexican deaths.
Manifest destiny.ppt
Manifest Destiny was an ideology in the 19th century United States that promoted westward expansion across North America. It held that it was America's destiny to expand from coast to coast under the belief that it was divinely ordained. As American settlers moved west, they encountered Mexico which owned Texas and disputed the boundary with the United States. This led to the Mexican-American War from 1846 to 1848, in which the U.S. defeated Mexico and gained control of Texas, California, and New Mexico.
10 The French and Indian War
Covers the major events leading up to the French and Indian War, including the breaking of the Covenant Chain, George Washington's conflict with the French in the Ohio River Valley, the convening of the Albany Congress, and Benjamin Franklin's Albany Plan of Union. Also covers the Braddock Expedition and the Battle of the Monongahela.
Manifest destiny map
Manifest Destiny was the belief in the 1800s that the United States was destined to expand across North America to the Pacific Ocean. From 1803 to 1853, the U.S. more than doubled in size through various territorial acquisitions like the Louisiana Purchase, annexation of Texas, and war with Mexico, gaining control of land stretching from coast to coast. This westward expansion was driven by both the desire to spread democracy and economic opportunities like the California Gold Rush of 1849.
Westward expansion and settlement
The document summarizes westward expansion in the late 19th century United States. The Homestead Act of 1862 gave settlers 160 acres of land if they developed it for 5 years, encouraging migration west. Railroads transported thousands of families, many European immigrants, seeking new opportunities in farming. Groups like African Americans fleeing the post-Civil War South, called "Exodusters", also migrated west. While life on the frontier was difficult due to weather and lack of resources, it provided new prospects for women's suffrage and independence. Rapid settlement led to clashes with Native Americans over hunting lands and the destruction of the buffalo, reducing Indian holdings to small reservations by 1890.
Mexicanamerican war
The Mexican American War was caused by disputes over borders between the United States and Mexico. Mexico was unhappy with the increasing number of American settlers moving into lands owned by Mexico after 1803. The United States tried to purchase additional lands from Mexico in 1835 and 1845 but Mexico refused. Texas also gained independence from Mexico in 1835, further angering Mexico. When the United States annexed Texas as a state in 1845, Mexico broke off diplomatic relations. Armed conflict broke out in 1846 over conflicting claims to the Rio Grande borderlands, starting the Mexican American War.
The american war of independence
The American War of Independence occurred from 1776 to 1783, when the 13 British colonies in North America rebelled against British rule and established the United States. The colonies were trying to expand westward as more immigrants arrived, while also dealing with conflicts between the British and French who were trying to control territory in North America. Ultimately the colonies declared independence and fought the British in a war that resulted in the establishment of the United States.

U.S. Mexico War
The document summarizes the causes and results of the U.S.-Mexico War from 1846 to 1848. The war was caused by disputes over the border between Texas and Mexico after Texas gained independence, with the U.S. claiming the Rio Grande border and Mexico claiming the Nueces River. The U.S. also wanted to expand its territory westward. As a result, Mexico ceded over a third of its territory in the northern Mexican Cession to the U.S., giving up claims to modern day California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado and New Mexico, in exchange for $15 million and debt forgiveness.
Mexican War
The Mexican-American War began in 1846 after Mexican forces attacked U.S. troops in Texas. Fighting ended in 1847 when U.S. General Winfield Scott occupied Mexico City. As part of the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, Mexico ceded California and New Mexico to the United States in addition to recognizing Texas as U.S. territory. The war resulted in the U.S. acquiring over 1 million square miles of land from Mexico but came at a high human cost with over 25% of U.S. forces becoming casualties.

4) The British were defeated at Yorktown in 1781 after the French
Westward Expansion
Westward expansion between 1801-1861 encouraged exploration and vast territorial growth in the US, leading to new economic opportunities. The development of industries like mining, ranching, farming and logging expanded across the Midwest and West. In the late 1800s, the railroad system and new technologies like the telegraph connected more areas and accelerated the movement of people and goods. However, westward expansion also resulted in conflict as Native American land was increasingly taken and destroyed, with many tribes being killed or forced to assimilate to white culture. By the early 1900s, the contiguous US stretched across North America following these patterns of exploration, settlement, development and industry spurred by westward migration.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
