During World War 2, many Mexican Americans enlisted in the military at higher rates than the overall population to escape poverty and show patriotism. After the war, the GI Bill helped veterans like Guy Louis Gabaldon with education, and urbanization increased as Mexican Americans moved to cities for better jobs, growing the middle class and influencing a breakdown of traditional families and culture. Public policy alternated between programs like the Bracero Program and Operation Wetback that increased legal and illegal immigration, while the generation and intelligentsia also helped shift public perception of Mexican Americans positively.

The second world
The document discusses the geopolitical and economic situations of several countries. It describes how Venezuela was once prosperous due to oil but is now struggling with high inflation and a faltering economy under Hugo Chavez. It also discusses Colombia's ongoing struggles with drug cartels and militias, and factors keeping it from becoming a developed nation. The document outlines Egypt's history and control of trade in the region, as well as the influence of Islamism. It analyzes the failure of the US invasion to create stability in Iraq and the country's descent into sectarian conflict and possible breakup. Finally, it discusses China's use of globalization and relationships with other Asian nations to continue its economic rise.
The Great Depresssion
Unemployment increased dramatically during the Great Depression, sending many families into poverty as companies and individuals fell deeply into debt. When people lost their jobs, they could no longer afford necessities like mortgages, food, and basic needs, leaving many homeless and hungry as daily struggles increased. The lives and hardships of people during this era influenced art and culture, as depicted in murals of the time, while African Americans faced even greater difficulties due to worsening economic conditions and loss of work.
english presentation - Minutemen
The document discusses both early and modern minutemen. Early minutemen were militia members in the American colonies who helped defend against Indian attacks and played important roles in the battles of Lexington and Concord during the Revolutionary War. Modern minutemen formed in 2005 with the goal of monitoring the US-Mexico border for illegal immigration, which generated both support and criticism from various groups. There is debate around whether modern minutemen respect or betray the legacy of the early minutemen and their role in American history and culture.
Chapter 13
This document summarizes key events in the history of Manifest Destiny and westward expansion in the United States between the 1820s-1850s. It discusses Mexico gaining independence from Spain in 1821, American settlers moving into Texas under Stephen F. Austin, the Texas Revolution against Santa Anna culminating in the Battle of San Jacinto in 1836, the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848 resulting in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and acquisition of the Southwest, and the Compromise of 1850 that temporarily resolved disputes over the status of slavery in the new territories.
Presentation6
Many Mexican immigrants migrated to cities like Los Angeles and Chicago for work during the 1920s, establishing dense Latino neighborhoods. However, during the Great Depression of the 1930s, about one-third of Mexicans in the US returned to Mexico due to job losses, racism, and deportation efforts. Those who remained faced even worse labor conditions and exploitation, though some joined unions to try to improve their situation.
Chapter 19 section 4
Poverty and discrimination plagued many Americans in the postwar era. Critics argued that while material wealth increased, quality of life had not due to an emphasis on conformity. Beatniks rejected this conformity. Many lived in inner city poverty or rural areas, while African Americans and other minorities faced discrimination. Urban renewal projects displaced the poor and failed to solve economic issues, while public housing led to greater concentration of poverty. Government termination policies for Native Americans and exploitation of migrant workers also exacerbated problems in this era.
28.4 turmoil and change in mexico
Political turmoil in Mexico was triggered by social and economic inequalities. Santa Anna switched sides on different issues as president from 1821-1829 and 1833. The growing Anglo-American population in Texas led to tensions with Mexico, resulting in the Texas Revolt in 1835 and the battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto, leading to Texas independence. Mexico then lost the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848 and was forced to cede territory in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Benito Juarez led the liberal Reform movement which increased rights for indigenous groups and the poor. France invaded Mexico under Napoleon III in the 1860s but withdrew, allowing Juarez to rebuild the country.
The Dust Bowl
The Dust Bowl of the 1930s was a period of severe dust storms and drought in the central United States. It mostly affected the southern Great Plains, with dust storms and drought exacerbating the Great Depression. Over 100 million acres of land were affected, forcing many farmers to abandon their land. Many migrated west to California seeking work, becoming known as "Okies." The Dust Bowl had long-term impacts - counties that experienced high levels of erosion saw declines in agricultural land values of over 25% that were still not fully recovered decades later. Artists like photographers and musicians documented the Dust Bowl, helping publicize the crisis through iconic images like Dorothea Lange's "Destitute Pea Pickers."

1920s
The 1920s in America was a time of cultural escapism and economic boom, but also growing fear of internal threats. As the economy flourished on the surface, flaws emerged in the stock market. Following World War I, Americans withdrew and sought distractions, but also became wary of radicals like anarchists and communists amid labor unrest and Russia's communist revolution. This fueled a Red Scare where civil liberties were infringed through arrests and deportations, as isolationism and nativism rose.
The Mexican Revolution
The Mexican Revolution was sparked by widespread discontent with the decades-long dictatorship of President Porfirio Diaz, whose rule concentrated power and wealth among a small elite. Younger generations and reformers like Francisco Madero demanded democratic reforms and an end to Diaz's manipulation of elections to stay in power indefinitely. Madero's "Plan of San Luis Potosi" in 1910 called on Mexicans to rise up in armed revolution on November 20th to overthrow Diaz and establish democracy. This launch of the revolution succeeded in driving Diaz into exile in under a year, and elections were held that brought Madero to the presidency.

Mexican Revolution
The Mexican Revolution began in 1910 due to economic inequality and the long rule of dictator Porfirio Diaz. Diaz had ruled Mexico for 35 years, winning reelection through corruption. Though Mexico saw economic growth through foreign investment, the benefits only went to a small elite. The vast majority of Mexicans lived in poverty. When opposition leader Francisco Madero called for democratic elections in 1910, unrest boiled over.

Chicano History
Pachucos were Mexican American youths who developed a distinctive subculture in the 1930s-40s Southwest US, wearing zoot suits and their own dialect. Due to racism and marginalization, they were often associated with gangs. The zoot suit style originated in El Paso and spread to LA, where the Sleepy Lagoon murder case in 1942 led to the arrests and convictions of 12 Mexican American youth despite lack of evidence. The Sleepy Lagoon Defense Committee was formed to appeal the case. In 1943, riots erupted in LA as sailors attacked and stripped zoot suiters, with police failing to intervene. The riots targeted the Mexican American community.

- After the attack on Pearl Harbor, FDR issued Executive Order 9066 which led to over 110,000 Japanese Americans being forcibly removed from their homes and interned in camps.
- The government established the War Relocation Authority to oversee the internment program and built camps in isolated areas of California, Arizona, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and Arkansas to detain the Japanese Americans for the duration of the war.
- The internment was controversial and caused significant harm and hardship for Japanese Americans, though it had little security justification. It remained a stain on America's record of civil liberties during wartime.

The Great Migration saw many Mexican immigrants leave for the United States in the early 1900s due to factors pushing them out of Mexico like the Mexican Revolution and economic crisis, as well as factors pulling them to areas like California and Texas which had established Mexican communities and job opportunities in mining and farm labor. Immigrants faced difficult lives with dangerous border crossings, harsh living conditions, isolation, and exploitation.
Ning mexicanos3
The document summarizes the Mexican period in the Southwestern United States territories from 1821 to 1848. When Mexico gained independence from Spain, the northern territories of present-day California, New Mexico, Texas and Arizona became part of independent Mexico but favored more local autonomy over centralized Mexican rule. Ranchers formed an oligarchy in California as the mission system was secularized and the trade economy grew. The territories also faced threats from Apache and Comanche Indians with little support from the overextended Mexican government. American settlers began immigrating to Texas and California, eventually leading to Texas declaring independence and the Mexican-American war over territorial claims and the ideology of Manifest Destiny under President Polk.
Ning pulque
Pulque is an alcoholic drink made from agave nectar that dates back to 200 CE when the Aztecs made it for ceremonial purposes. Unlike tequila, pulque is not cooked before fermentation and has an alcohol content between 4-8%, and it is associated with many deities and folklore in Mexican culture as an important part of their history.
Ning Mexicanos 2

It discusses Spanish explorers searching for gold and glory after conquering the Aztecs, including Hernando de Soto and Francisco Vasquez de Coronado exploring further north. It also mentions Cabeza de Vaca and his crew accidentally wandering through the American Southwest after a storm.

Ning Mexicanos Ch.1
The document discusses the interactions between native Americans and Europeans in Mexico from prehistory to 1521. It describes how Christopher Columbus' exploration opened the Americas to European colonization. It discusses the advanced civilizations of the Mayans and Aztecs, with the Aztecs ruling a great empire centered in Tenochtitlan. It then summarizes how Hernan Cortes, a Spanish conquistador, was able to conquer the Aztec empire with the help of other native tribes who saw the Spanish as a way to rebel against Aztec rule.
Greece
Greece has become the main entry point for illegal immigration into Europe due to crackdowns in other countries. The document discusses how Greece accounts for 90% of illegal entries into the EU as of October 2010, with around 350 migrants attempting to cross Greece's border with Turkey each day. Most immigrants come from Middle Eastern countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Algeria, Iraq, and Somalia. The EU has deployed more border control units to Greece to help deal with the flow of illegal immigration, and interceptions by these agents decreased by 43.7% between October and November.
Arizona
Due to a lack of federal support in combating unauthorized immigration, Arizona passed its own law (SB1070) which faced legal challenges from the federal government and boycotts from private industry. While some provisions were allowed to go into effect, controversial parts of the law that allowed police to request immigration papers were temporarily blocked by a federal court ruling. The legal battle over whether federal law takes precedence is expected to reach the Supreme Court, while other states have also taken actions related to immigration.
Untitled
The number of unauthorized immigrants in the United States has declined slightly from its peak of 12 million people to now 11.1 million people. Most of the decrease in the illegal immigrant population came from a sharp decline in immigrants from countries other than Mexico, with a 22% decrease from immigrants from the Caribbean, Central America and South America. Several states like Florida, Nevada and Virginia have seen sharp declines as well according to a report from the Pew Hispanic Center.
