Latin America - European conquest - 2012
Europeans arrived in Latin America in the 1400s as Spain and Portugal searched for new trade routes to Asia. Christopher Columbus landed in the Americas while searching for Asia on behalf of Spain. Spain and Portugal then became rivals seeking to claim land in the new world. Spanish conquistadors like Hernan Cortes and Francisco Pizarro conquered the Aztec and Inca empires, giving Spain control over much of Latin America by 1535. Spain and Portugal divided influence over the new world along an imaginary line of demarcation in 1494.

Key events discussed include the 1502 death of Aztec ruler Ahuitzotl and the 1509 settlement formalizing legal obligations to Aztec Princess Tecuichpotzin.
French Colonies of North America
French explorers established trading posts along the St. Lawrence River in Canada and allied with Algonquian tribes to trade furs. This fur trade attracted competition from other European powers and changed Native American culture by introducing firearms. While economic interests drove colonization, French Jesuit missionaries also aimed to convert Native Americans to Christianity. By the 17th century, warfare with the Iroquois endangered the French colonial presence in North America.
Colonial France
The French colonial empire began in 1605 with the founding of Acadia in Canada. Over the next few centuries, France established colonies across North America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific, becoming the second largest colonial power behind Britain by the 19th century. However, France lost most of its North American and Caribbean territories to Britain following several wars between the two powers from 1744-1815. While weakened, France rebuilt its empire in Africa and Asia in the 19th century before decolonization in the postwar period led to the end of the French colonial empire.
Conquistadors
Conquistadors were Spanish soldiers and explorers who brought much of the Americas under Spanish control following Columbus' discovery. Hernan Cortes conquered the Aztec Empire in Mexico with just 500 men, defeating them at their capital Tenochtitlan after a smallpox epidemic weakened them. Francisco Pizarro similarly conquered the vast Inca Empire in Peru, capturing its emperor Atahualpa and looting its gold before destroying the empire.

Independence movements
Latin America gained independence from Spain through various liberation movements led by Simón Bolívar, José de San Martín, and Toussaint L'Ouverture. Haiti was the first Latin American country to gain independence in 1804 led by Toussaint L'Ouverture who led a slave revolt against French colonial rule. Simón Bolívar liberated Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru and Bolivia from Spanish control in the 1810s and 1820s. Mexico gained independence in 1821 after over a decade of fighting led initially by Catholic priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla who issued the "Cry of Dolores" calling for revolution.
The Spanish Frontier, 1521 1821
The document summarizes Spanish exploration and colonization efforts in North America between 1521 and 1821. It discusses several key figures and events:
1) Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, who in 1528 became the first European to explore the American Southwest and Texas, encountering both welcoming and hostile Native American tribes.
2) Early conquistadors like Coronado and Cabrillo who risked their lives exploring uncharted frontiers inspired by opportunities for expansion and trade.
3) The discovery of silver in Mexico in the 1540s that drove further colonization and tensions with indigenous groups.
4) The establishment of missions in areas like Sonora by Jesuit mission
Spanish Casta System.
The document describes the caste system established by the Spanish in colonial Mexico. It ranked people in a racial hierarchy with Peninsulares (Spanish-born) at the top, followed by Criollos (American-born Spanish), Mestizos (mixed Spanish and native), Indios (natives), and Negroes (African slaves) at the bottom. Over time, factors like language, skills, wealth and cultural identity could allow some groups like Mestizos to rise in status, though discrimination was still prevalent. The caste system shaped Mexican society for centuries and its impacts on racial inequalities may still be felt today.
Modern spain
Modern Spain saw many political and social changes in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Industrial Revolution led to increased standards of living but also greater inequality. The French Revolution spread liberal ideas opposing absolute monarchy. King Carlos IV's prime minister signed a treaty with Napoleon to divide Portugal, angering Carlos' son Fernando who forced Carlos to abdicate. Napoleon then invaded Spain and made his brother Joseph king, sparking the War of Independence. A new constitution in 1812 established rights and a constitutional monarchy, but King Fernando VII later abolished it and ruled absolutely until liberal revolts. His successor Isabel II faced Carlist Wars and political instability. Society was divided between upper, middle, and working classes as labor movements
The Mission System of Baja & Alta California.
The document discusses the Christianization of Native Americans in California by Spanish missionaries between the 18th and early 19th centuries.

It describes the social structures, beliefs, and technologies of each group. Native Americans lived in diverse societies across North America, with extended families, animism, trade, and kinship-based social organization. West Africans also had complex societies based on family, elders' councils, animism, and collective land ownership.

Spain and Portugal built colonies in the Americas through conquest and exploitation of native peoples. They divided the land into provinces ruled by viceroys, established churches to convert locals, and tightly controlled trade.

Panama canal
The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans across the Isthmus of Panama and drastically reduced travel times between the oceans. The United States took over construction of the canal from France in 1904 after thousands of French workers had died from disease. Building the canal involved overcoming immense challenges in draining lakes, cutting through mountainous jungle, and constructing giant locks to raise and lower ships. After 10 years of difficult construction under harsh conditions, the Panama Canal opened in 1914.

How Australians trade
Australia exports many natural resources, especially iron ore and coal, to China. China provides finished goods in return and is also a leading source of international tourists to Australia due to its proximity. Australia's mining industry is a major part of its economy, with the country being the top exporter of resources like iron ore, coal, bauxite, and diamonds. Gold mining attracted many immigrants in the 1800s.
Columbian Exchange.new 2012
The document summarizes the Columbian Exchange that occurred between the Old World and New World following Christopher Columbus' discovery of the Americas. Key aspects of the exchange included the transportation of domesticated animals, crops, and diseases between the hemispheres. Native populations in the Americas declined drastically due to introduced European diseases, with estimates of declines as high as 90% within 100 years of contact. This population decline impacted the availability of labor and led Europeans to import slaves from Africa. The exchange of foods and crops went on to dramatically impact global diets, economies, and populations over subsequent centuries.
Where Australians live
Most Australians live along the eastern coast of Australia in urban areas. Nearly 80% live in cities, with over 70% living in cities with over 100,000 people. The most populated cities are Sydney and Melbourne. Most Australians prefer to live along the southeastern coast, which has a temperate climate with warm summers and mild winters, similar to parts of the US. The interior Outback has very little rainfall and sparse settlements, though mining is an important business conducted there, extracting resources like coal, iron ore, copper, gold, and other minerals. Farming also occurs in areas with sufficient land and rainfall.

It notes that Australia comes from the Latin word meaning "southern" and was commonly referenced in medieval times. The first undisputed European sighting was by the Dutch in 1606, who explored parts of the northern coast but were attacked by Aboriginal people. Later, Tasmania was discovered by Dutch explorer Abel Tasman in 1642 and claimed for the Netherlands. The British began exploring Australia in the late 17th century and in 1770 Captain James Cook mapped the east coast and claimed it for Britain, naming it New South Wales.
Australia - Physical and Political Features

The Columbian Exchange - Causes and Effects 2012
The document discusses the causes and effects of the Columbian Exchange between Europe, Africa, and the Americas. The causes included European exploration and colonization of the Americas in search of wealth and empire building. The major effects were the death of millions of Native Americans from diseases, the introduction and growth of slavery and cash crops like sugar cane, and the blending of European, Native American, and African cultures and ethnic groups in the Americas.
British Colonization
The British colony of Australia began in 1788 with the establishment of a penal settlement at Port Jackson in New South Wales. Overcrowding in British prisons led the government to send convicts to Australia to establish prison colonies where they would provide labor. From the 1810s onward, convict transportation increased and convicts built up Australia's infrastructure and worked for settlers. The most notorious prison was Port Arthur in Tasmania, which housed the hardest criminals from 1833 to the 1850s. Gold discoveries in the 1850s attracted many new settlers and accelerated Australia's growth toward independence from Britain.
Spanish and Portuguese Influence on Latin America powerpoint
Christopher Columbus was sponsored by Spain to find a quick trade route to Asia, but instead landed in the Americas in 1492 and claimed the land for Spain. Spain then explored, conquered, and settled areas across Florida, Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean islands, establishing Spanish as the dominant language. Portugal also established colonies along the coast of South America and in Brazil, where Portuguese became the primary language.

Australia History - The Aborigines
The first people arrived in Australia approximately 60,000 years ago by traveling via boats from Southeast Asia to the single landmass of Sahul, which included Australia, New Guinea, and Tasmania. As the most recent Ice Age ended around 10,000 years ago, sea levels rose and cut off Australia from New Guinea and Tasmania. The original inhabitants of Australia became known as Australian Aborigines, who lived in small groups and were hunter-gatherers that depended on the resources available in the different areas of the island. While there was no single leader, Aborigines established trade networks to connect groups and diversify available goods.
